The scorching sun in summer exudes blazing temperatures, and the wind blowing in the air is also hot. A boy with brown skin sits on the green ground under the shade of a tree. The sun shines through the shade of the tree, casting mottled light spots on the ground.
.
"It's been a long time since the three of us got together, right?"
He casually broke off a piece of green leaf, put it in his mouth, and looked at the construction site not far away. The slaves, who were mostly naked, did not dare to slack off at all. The temple in Abydos had already taken a rough shape.
The clear Nile River flows slowly, witnessing all this.
Listening to his words, the pretty girl on the side smiled shyly.
"Yes, I feel relieved to see that both of you are well. It's really a happy thing."
The young man standing next to him said softly. He has the white skin unique to the Napuna people. He always has a warm smile on his face, and his warm black eyes are full of tenderness.
"However, Ramis, you are already the deputy king, so it would not be good if others saw you like this."
"Spare me, my brother."
The brown-skinned boy named Rames said lazily. There was a cool breeze under the shade of the trees, which made people feel sleepy.
"It's boring to have to keep a straight face every day, like a deputy king, isn't it, Nefertari?"
The girl just smiled, her eyebrows curved, her eyes rippling like the Nile River not far away.
"But, it's really happiness."
After another moment of silence, the white-skinned boy murmured to himself, this sentence was like a mantra to him.
"You don't need to say it so many times, my brother. Thinking that Horus and Nero are looking at you, you must be embarrassed, right?"
"Really? But I don't feel shy."
He said matter-of-factly, "Because I really feel happy. Would Ramis feel shy about saying he is happy?"
"How can I be shy?! Being with you is the happiest thing."
Ramis's cheeks turned slightly red, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched.
"It seems Ramis is still shy, isn't it, Natalia?"
"Eh~?"
The pretty girl exclaimed, obviously she was in a trance just now and didn't hear what they were saying.
"Don't be shy about this, Ramis, I just hope that all living beings can be happy."
"It's happened again. What you have been saying is that you wish for peace between people and the world. Even the gods in the sky, Pharaoh and the gods believed by the Narna people should have the same wish."
Rames sighed slightly, "You are obviously not the Pharaoh, but can you understand the thoughts of the gods and the Pharaoh?"
Although he is praised as more virtuous than anyone else, in fact, this brother is more resourceful in looking at things. Rames has this feeling. Therefore, although this sentence is somewhat ridiculing, there is no malice in it.
"Rames."
Suddenly his head was lightly knocked. He turned around and saw the girl looking at him angrily, "Don't say such evil words."
"Ha--this kind of thing is not a bad idea at all."
Ramis scratched his head, obviously not agreeing with the girl's statement.
"The next pharaoh is undoubtedly you, Rames. You sit on the same throne as the gods and even the god Amun. You are undoubtedly the greatest among the pharaohs in the past."
The white-skinned boy watched the quarrel between Rames and the girl and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't care at all about what Rames said before. He knew very well that his brother had no bad intentions.
"If it's what you're thinking in your heart, I think I can understand it to some extent."
"Of course, my brother, besides Nefertari, I'm afraid you are the only one who can know what I am thinking."
Ramis gave a thumbs up in agreement. The two people he would least suspect in the world were beside him. One was his brother, and the other was the girl who would soon become his concubine.
"In the near future, a new Pharaoh will be born, and he will bring tranquility, peace, and happiness to everyone on this land."
He said so confidently, as if he had really seen the certain future. He looked directly at Rames' golden eyes as dazzling as the sun, as if he was praying for something.
"You must be able to give happiness to the Hittites, right?"
"What you said is a bit far, but I am confident that we can win this war."
Ramis turned his head and muttered. There seemed to be something heavy in the young man's eyes, making him unable to look directly.
"It is precisely because it is no one else that I say this. Listen up, you are about to become Ozymandias, the king of kings who is admired by all things in the world."
"Ozymandias..."
Rames repeated this glorious name, and then shook his head violently, "No, no, the war is not over yet, although I am indeed confident that I can win this war."
"No, Rames. Although it's incredible, I think so too."
The girl said with a smile and stood next to Ramis.
"Nefertari, why have you become so dreamy? What do you two think of me?"
Ramis covered his face and couldn't help but wailed.
"You are who you are!"
"That's right, just because you are you, I said that."
"Well... Then I'll admit it."
Although there was some hesitation, he readily accepted this title. After all, this was the expectation of the person he loved most, and he was happy and proud.
………
………
The rider slowly opened his eyes, putting his hand on his chin. After a brief moment of confusion, the surrounding scene was reflected in his dazzling golden eyes.
Sitting on the golden throne, he has become the king of kings and the greatest pharaoh. But even so, whenever he thinks back to that time, his brother left the sea and led a small number of Napu people to the promised place.
The land and the divided Red Sea are like the gap between the two people, which is unforgettable.
Because of this, he was in a very unhappy mood, and when he looked at the unexpected visitor who broke in under the throne, he also felt unhappy.
"Rider, I'm here to form an alliance with you."
Straight to the point, the intruder below expressed his thoughts.
"Hahahaha, I don't like guys who hide their heads and show their tails, just like mice."
The rider changed his posture and looked at him condescendingly, "And for things like rats, Yu has always only had one way to deal with them."
Without giving that person another chance to speak, he waved his hand casually, and the majestic magic power gathered on the emblem [Eye of God] behind the throne, and the blue thunder roared and surged, engulfing the figure of the person below.
There was no resistance and no blood. The man was shattered by the lightning and turned into golden magic particles.
"Is there such a thing as a peer? It's really a cowardly method like a mouse."
A disdainful smile appeared on the rider's face, and then he closed his eyes again. Under the rainy night, the Grand Composite Temple stood peacefully, waiting for the arrival of the next challenger.
