It seems that from the beginning of his birth, the future has been established: he will be the most noble and greatest king in this world.

As the incarnation of the sun god in the human world, the king who ascended the throne of pharaoh at a young age will naturally achieve great achievements.

The ancient dynasty reached the pinnacle of civilization because of him, and his name and prestige have been passed down for a long time like the endless Nile River.

Later generations discuss him:

"Ramses II, he should be the greatest pharaoh in Egyptian history."

"I heard that when he was still alive, he married dozens of concubines and gave birth to dozens of sons. He lived to be over 90 years old in that long time. In this respect, he is also very remarkable."

It's amazing.

It is conceivable that in an era when the admiration for God is deeply rooted in the soul, that man himself is equivalent to the display of a "miracle".Even in the modern world, there are still a considerable number of people in the world who have deep respect for the pharaoh known as Ramses II, and are eager to understand him more deeply.

It is this belief that has become more and more precipitated with the passage of time, gathered a vast river, and condensed into a bright throne in the Hall of Valor, allowing men who become heroic spirits after death to sit safely.

The name of "Pharaoh" is naturally assumed by him, there is no doubt about it.

Even the Pharaoh himself, who received this title, never questioned his identity.He should be the most honorable person. During his lifetime, he should enjoy the supreme status and all the glory and wealth that human beings can enjoy. After his death, the land also belongs to his rule.

"Why did you sign a contract with a mortal like you? Do you need to explain more. The soil you are standing on is Yu's territory. As the monarch of all things, Yu has a little bit of spirit to rule out the possibility of ruining the territory. factors—difficult to understand?”

Pharaoh didn't like his ideas to be violated, although, most of the time, he could still listen to him if he talked to him seriously without being hated.

This time the question came from the human master Fujimaru Tachika who signed a master-slave contract with the Pharaoh.

Human beings wisely recognized that they were only subordinates, but they still couldn't help but want to whisper in Pharaoh's ear, asking him——how did he condescend to come to Chaldea.

Logically speaking, it is impossible.

The pharaoh never accepted the call of such a contract.

There have been precedents for magicians to find holy relics related to Ramses II and try to summon heroic spirits, but without exception, they all failed.The Pharaoh on the Throne of Heroes ignored them at all.

Therefore, after getting this secret rumor, the human master will be suspicious, and can't help but express this doubt.

The reply given by the Pharaoh was the above passage just now.

It is very well-founded, and it is also very Ozymandias' style-probably a common feature of the kings who talk to themselves and acquiesce in the world as their own back garden.

"but……"

"Huh? My servant, what else do you want to say?"

At that moment, the human master who only showed a little hesitation did not expect that the Pharaoh was so keenly aware of his abnormality.He opened his mouth, a little hesitant to speak but hesitant to speak.

"Stop hiding here! Well, for the sake of self-knowledge, Yu will allow you to ask one more question. There is only one last chance left, so don't say anything that will make Yu angry. "

"Thank you, thank you, but I..."

That being said, the Human Master is actually still hesitating.

He was a little unsure whether the question he really wanted to ask would make Pharaoh angry.

It is very likely... yes, because it does involve some privacy that may be hidden deeply.Therefore, Fujimaru Tatsuka temporarily changed his mind during the process of hesitation, and replaced it with more euphemistic words.Cautiously - as he spoke, he took a sneak peek.

"That, Pharaoh. At the Sixth Singularity, you seemed to have responded to someone else's call to appear, and you even snatched the Holy Grail..."

Although—although, it is very likely a coincidence that after the Pharaoh snatched the Holy Grail, he didn't do anything with the Holy Grail.

But it is what it is.

The reason Pharaoh threw over earlier seems to be too perfunctory, and there are loopholes that can be found after careful consideration.

At any rate, before Fujimaru Tachika, who still had the honorable name of "protecting humanity", summoned the heroic spirits, the Pharaoh, who could not respond to the summons of others, had already appeared in the world once.

He took the Holy Grail.

He moved the entire Egyptian land he ruled to the singularity, and also trapped himself in the temple in a disguised form.Waiting until Fujimaru Tachika and others who came to recover the Holy Grail appeared, he threw the Holy Grail to them inexplicably, as if he had no nostalgia.

Quietly shifting his gaze, the human master sneaked a glimpse of the Pharaoh's face at this moment.

Ah, he was expressionless.

It's like another thing that's hard to imagine happening.

The Pharaoh liked to laugh, and his laughter was unobstructed. No matter whether the intention was the simplest joy or a neat ridicule, he rarely showed such an expression that could be described as indifference.

Have you seen it before?No... I have seen it, I should have seen it.

It was at the singularity, the second time I met Pharaoh, Ozymandias.

Passing through the obstruction of the desert, Chaldea and his party broke into the magnificent temple standing behind the desert.I found the place according to the route I walked for the first time, and the stone gate leading to the main hall was slowly opened in front of my eyes, and the beam of light cast from the gap was gradually expanding.

The mood of the human master at that time has become less important.What needs to be explained is that at that moment, when the door is completely opened, the golden-like setting in the inner hall comes into view at the same time.

However, the first thing to be seen clearly was the top of the long ladder extending upwards.

There is a man sitting on a throne.

So far, it's the expected scenario.But different from the so-called expectation, the king did not look down at them coldly from a high place.

With his head resting on one hand, his closed eyelids covered his golden eyes, which were never extinguished by the sun, and also covered up the dazzling brilliance.

The king seemed to be taking a nap in the throne room, silent tranquility descended quietly around him, and even more invisible soft light surrounded him.

That peace and softness—unfortunately, only existed before Fujimaru Tachika and others broke in.

The noise in the temple should have already reached the ears of the Pharaoh, but he didn't lift his eyelids until the last moment when the gate opened, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

In an instant, seeing the figure of the pharaoh, what is the feeling that plunges into the heart of the trespasser?

—It was cold.

When he raised his eyes and looked down, the man's sculpture-like face with profound features seemed to reveal a shadow that the sun could not shine on.

He saw Fujimaru Tachika and the others, but he didn't seem to have seen them at all. Even the slightest shadow of an outsider could not leave any trace in his golden eyes.

He seemed disappointed.

This feeling can only be regarded as the human master's personal intuition, and there is no evidence that can be used to prove it. It is like a ripple that spreads in the heart very slightly.

But why should he be disappointed?Because Fujimaru Tachika and the others defeated the guards of the temple and broke in without authorization?Or was it because his precious nap was abruptly interrupted?

Probably... None of these conjectures.

When the inexplicable "intuition" determined this problem, it was inexplicably clearer again.This is the real reason why Tachika Fujimaru, who saw the pharaoh in Chaldea after the incident, decided to ask a little.

He seemed to be disappointed, because when the door opened, the person who appeared behind the door was not the person he had sat here patiently and quietly for so long, wanting to see.

Oh, not just coldness, not just disappointment, but a little emotion that was almost forgotten.

——There is also there, I don't know the source, but I always feel that the loneliness that is really entangled with that man.

……

Turn back time.

It goes back to the present when the Human Master received the permission of the Pharaoh and euphemistically clarified the last doubt.

"..."

The Pharaoh was, as expected, silent.

The human master saw the indifference from the man's face that he had seen in the past, but for some reason, he could also sense the man's anger starting to grow, but he still had an intuition that "the pharaoh would not get angry with him".

His intuition has always been accurate, this is something that has been judged through countless experiments.

The coldness on the Pharaoh's face and the anger in his heart, both do exist, but they are not directed at Tateka Fujimaru.

The man didn't pay that much attention to him, because his thoughts had long been involuntarily sunk into obscure emotions that he couldn't even explain... and that was even more indescribable confusion.

"What's going on, I really want to know."

Not because of "I don't know why I feel obscurity in my heart", but because of "I don't know how to solve this confusion".

"Ah, yes, I have to wait for someone here."

"Who is that person, Yu doesn't know, what does that person look like, Yu doesn't know, what does that person mean, why is Yu so worried when there is no trace of his existence in Yu's memory, Can't sleep well-"

do not know.

Can't find a clue at all!

It would definitely damage the dignity of the king, but it cannot be refuted. The three words "Chaldea" became the only key that the Pharaoh could grasp called the clue.

How many times have I dreamed back at midnight... It started when I was alive, when the king was still alive.

He was about a teenager when he first dreamed.At first, I thought it was the ignorance of impulsiveness when I was young. After all, whenever that dream surfaced, I would feel the blood boiling in the blood vessels, almost to the point of burning and transpiration.

But later, after a long time, I don't think so.Because of the same scene, he will persevere into his dream every day, as if tirelessly wanting to be remembered by him, and these fragmentary pictures must not be forgotten.

Before experiencing it personally, he never knew that his memory was so good and so bad.To be able to remember the blurred and incomplete pictures so clearly, and to forget them inadvertently many times.

He doesn't like having his ideas violated.Even if it is your own "feeling" that you are trying to violate, you are not willing to conform to it easily.

So, the young, pre-teenage prince was stubborn from the start.He felt that dreams were just dreams, and making out so many unreal things would only annoy him, even though the strange feelings that had piled up in his heart and almost spewed out couldn't be more real, he didn't believe it.

"Stop joking. There is nothing that happened at all. Why should I believe it?"

There are also obvious differences in the thinking of young people and old people.

As the years went by, the dream continued, and during this process, he seemed to have changed his mind very suddenly.

He ordered an exhaustive search for a man across the country.

No recognizable features can be given, what the company looks like, what its name is, and its approximate age, all of which cannot be described.

At this time, he was probably in his twenties.

Ah, 25 years old, almost 26 years old.

That's right, at this time, he was already the pharaoh who held the highest power, and it was the time when he was in a good mood, and if he wanted to do something willful, even if he didn't give a reason, he could still be satisfied.

If I have to say it, the reason is: the strange emotion that lasted for ten years finally turned into anxiety.

He became more and more restless, even waking up from time to time in his dreams.

The content of the dream can finally be described.It's just a few fragments that are already familiar to me.

In the first clip, under the moonlit night sky, he climbed over the high outer wall, holding probably some kind of flower in his hand.He sent this flower whose color and variety could not be clearly seen to someone, and his mood in the dream also infected him in reality.

Jumping, joy, and incomprehensible obsession.

In the second clip, the background seems to be in a certain palace.He was seated close to the throne with someone—the same person, for sure—as before.

The man leaned against him, leaning against his head, like a silent intimate whisper.

He could see the man's hair.

Long blue hair.

After that... I also dreamed about some.But here, it seems that there is no need to go into details for the time being.

It is only necessary to know that under the influence of these dreams that are constantly repeated and repeated, this noble man who has grown from a boy to a young man can no longer insist on the view that "dreams are just dreams".

The reason why he was so calm in the previous ten years was probably because he subconsciously believed that the person who appeared in the dream would definitely come to him as a teenager, so he just waited with peace of mind.

But, but, but—

This junction between the age of 25 and 26 seems to be the fundamental reason why he finally couldn't bear it anymore.This moment made him feel a great crisis.

"It cannot be surpassed."

A voice warned him so.

But it must not exceed.The pharaoh might have reversed the flow of the Nile, but he couldn't reverse time and never go beyond that limit.

"Once this time has passed, that person really won't come."

Pharaoh, who not only possessed the highest power, but also had countless wives, concubines and children, thought so, and found out that he was actually regretting.

He also found that it was really wrong to refuse to submit because of the pride engraved in his bones.

In fact, his heart had already surrendered, because the love that suddenly appeared in the midnight dream was deeply imprinted in his soul.

But... after being "willful" for such a time, he really didn't get any results, and he couldn't find the person he was looking for at all.

He was not reconciled.

Everything in this country belongs to him, whether it is money or beauties, can belong to him, he should be omnipotent, and all wishes can be fulfilled.

So, why he just can't find it, just can't get it?

Why can't he be satisfied?

With completely changed beliefs, Pharaoh would not admit that it was just a dream, never would.He can't forget these dreams, can't forget, definitely can't.

It can be seen from this that Pharaoh is really a very stubborn man.

The decision he made cannot be easily shaken, and he will definitely stick to it to the end, no matter what obstacles he may encounter on the road ahead.There was only one decision he regretted, and nothing else, and that was the one mentioned earlier.

He is still waiting.

In the long years after the age of 25, I have been waiting.

It's just that people's memory is so bad.As the Pharaoh began to grow old, he had some trouble remembering the images from his dreams, which was another source of uneasiness.

In fact, in the second half of his life, his dreams occasionally changed, and the time became longer and longer, which made him almost really confuse dreams with reality.

It is another "dream".

In that dream, the main character was also him.However, the him in the dream was happier. He met the person who could not be found, existed but seemed not to exist.Although he lost that person again because of an accident, but with his memory, he never felt that the previous experience was a dream, so he walked firmly to the end, and after they died—they could meet again.

The difference is that one still has memory, while the other has lost it, so the choice he made is naturally different from the current him.

He couldn't be firm, he just woke up halfway.

A few more years, or one decade after another...

"can not forget."

Before he died, he could still remember a little bit.

"If I can get him."

"If I were to make another choice when I was young."

"I don't want so many wives. All I need is him."

Yes.

Just him alone is enough.

*****

"—If, this is your wish."

Because of the appearance of a holy grail left to this era, the fantasy that only exists in "ifs" has become distortedly true.

*****

No sooner had he arrived at the singularity through the spiritual transfer, Ellie realized that he had made a major—yes, a very major mistake.

"Oops, I was so impatient that I forgot that I was already a human being. Why didn't Mash come with me..."

"Ah. Oops."

There are two dilemmas ahead.

First, first.

The pre-set spiritual transfer location should be the royal palace of Egypt, but when it finally landed, it seemed that there was a pity that there was a deviation. As a result, as soon as Airlie landed, he found that he had landed in a certain village. How far away is the destination.

And then, the second, and most serious...

He originally thought that he would see Ozymandias as soon as he came here, so he didn't let Matthew come with him.

As a result, the former heroic spirit who had no power to restrain a chicken but had an outstanding appearance was knocked unconscious, tied up and taken away the second he appeared in front of the locals.

The reason for the "second time" is the first time, first of all, the villagers who saw such an unexpected outsider were stunned.When Ellie took the initiative to talk to them and asked where this place was, these people rushed forward as if they had just woken up from a dream, but they rushed forward in an unfriendly manner.

Airlie: "..."

Oops... Oops.

When he woke up with difficulty, he found that his legs had been bound and his hands were tied behind his back, and he was in a posture of not being able to break free and escape at all.

The location...is not clear, because the eyes are also covered by the cloth.It's just that I can speak and hear.

Although the situation was wrong, Ellie was not very flustered, and Chaldea still had to observe his movements.Sure enough, after he woke up, Matthew's voice came.

"Mr. Caster, are you awake?"

"Yes. Matthew, where am I now? I'm not getting farther and farther away from my destination."

"This...don't worry, not only did it not get farther and farther away, it actually became closer..."

"what?"

The voice that followed Matthew's words belonged to Tachika Fujimaru: "Ahem, I forgot to explain to you earlier. In fact, we are not worried about your safety at all, because—"

"The Pharaoh here has already told the people that as soon as he sees a young man with blue hair and good looks, he must be sent to the palace immediately... So, do you understand, Ellie? "

Airlie: "..."

No.

Don't worry too much.

——This feeling... No, am I tied up and put on the bed? !

Face down, with a very soft thing pressed against his face, he smelled a pungent fragrance, inexplicably wondering if the people who packed him here also soaked him in the pile of spices rudely .

No, no, there is a bad premonition...that is, a sense of crisis.

Ellie felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Okay, as long as you are here. Let's not talk about this, first find a way to help me untie these ropes..."

"Well, do you want to untie it?"

"..."

The reason for the sudden silence was that a voice that neither belonged to Mash nor Tatsuka Fujimaru came in easily.

is a teenager.

Another hand landed on Ellie's back. At first, he used his fingers to vaguely trace the curve that was forced to bend due to the constraints of the posture, until finally, he moved up a little bit, lifting him up. strand of hair.

"But, I don't want to untie it at all."

"..."

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"……Um."

"Oh, I can't help it," said the boy.

"That's it. I'll help you untie it, but shouldn't you—"

"Do something to make me happy? My... no."

His voice seemed to be lowered on purpose, but there was an undisguised smile in it, and of course, there were some hidden emotions that were just about to move.

"Princess Yu, hurry up and do something to please Yu."

"otherwise--"

The unexpected sense of crisis suddenly surpassed joy.

Oops... Oops.

Really "dangerous".
