A week later.
"Lord City Lord, Remheb has been back in the capital for a week now."
"Look, that warehouse clerk?"
The lord of Matruh was looking up with a worried look on his face. He looked like he had not slept well for a long time.
Even his eye bags were much clearer. Not only that, he hadn't held a banquet for a long time.
"Warehouse keeper? What warehouse keeper?"
When the steward heard the city lord's words, he felt a little bit unbelievable.
"City Lord? You don't remember?"
"That's the clerk who introduced him to the warehouse when Remheb came!"
The steward looked at the city lord with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong with you? I think you look unwell."
As soon as he finished speaking, the city lord raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
At this time, the steward looked in the direction of his finger, but he could see nothing.
"Lord City Lord? I don't understand?"
"There's nothing there?"
There was the Mediterranean Sea, and the steward could see nothing except the sapphire-blue sea.
Not only that, when he saw the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, the steward even felt that the sunlight made the sea surface very dazzling.
It is a beautiful sight, and looking at it can even heal one's eyes and soul.
However, the city lord doesn't seem to think so.
“My application for food was rejected this time.”
"Do you know what that means?"
Hearing the city lord's words, the steward raised his voice slightly.
"You are confused, City Lord!"
"How can you ask Cairo for food aid again at this juncture?"
"After Remheb returns to Cairo, Kamul will definitely be suspicious of you!"
"If you apply for food aid again now, won't that just make Kamal even more suspicious?"
"You know, including this time, you have already requested food aid from Cairo four times!"
"Perhaps Kamul doesn't suspect you? But if you do this, the higher-ups will definitely find it strange and become suspicious!"
"What's wrong with you, City Lord? You wouldn't make such a mistake, would you?"
As the steward spoke, he looked worriedly into the city lord's eyes.
He clearly saw that the muscles on the city lord's neck would bulge from time to time, and rise and fall with the city lord's breathing.
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me."
"You say, are we finished?"
"I always feel that old guy Kamul must have discovered some clues, so..."
"so......"
As he spoke, he grabbed the robe on his chest and tore it hard.
It feels like I might be unable to breathe at any moment.
"City Lord! City Lord!"
"There's no way they'd find out that quickly!"
"What are you worried about..."
The steward stepped forward to help the other person open the collar of his clothes, but at this moment, he seemed to see something jumping high in the distance.
“Crash!”
Then, there was a sound of something heavy falling into the water.
"What is that?"
"When did we get such a big fish?"
The steward looked into the distance, but he couldn't see the appearance of the "fish". He could only see the foam on the water and the spreading waves.
Of course, the reason he was so surprised was because he had been busy with food in the warehouse this week.
After all, there was considerable chaos in the city of Matruh after Remheb's inspection.
The food that the vendors in the city could sell was rationed, but after Remheb arrived, many vendors were unable to get the rationed food.
Therefore, after they had sold all the food in their hands, there was no other surplus food in the city except the city lord's warehouse.
When the city lord heard the steward's words, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He looked into the distance, then back into the steward's eyes.
"Yeah! You saw it too, right!"
"You saw those soldiers too!"
But the city lord's words only made the steward more confused.
The steward even began to think that his city lord might have gone insane.
"Lord City Lord, where are the soldiers here?"
"What I just said...I just said the fish in the sea!"
"Why."
When he said this, he just sighed.
The steward turned his head to look at the warehouse in the distance, then looked at the horses not far away, and just swallowed.
But the city lord grabbed him at this time, and the force was enough to almost push him down.
"Idiot! What you just saw wasn't a fish at all!"
"What do you think I do here every day?"
"I'm telling you, what you just saw wasn't a fish at all! Not a fish!"
"Did you understand? It's not a fish!"
"They! Are people!"
The steward looked into the city lord's eyes at this time, and he felt that the other party must have gone crazy.
He even frowned slightly.
"My Lord, Remheb has already returned to Cairo. Why are you still concerned about what's at sea?"
"If Cairo sends anyone else, your position will be in jeopardy!"
"No matter if it's a human or a fish in the sea, it has no effect on you!"
But when the city lord heard this, he just pulled the other person closer. The steward could even clearly sense the breath coming out of the city lord's nostrils.
