Pharaoh

"My lord, why don't you let His Royal Highness follow along this time?"

"No."

"Even if you hide it this time, he will find out one day, won't you?"

"...he is still too young, let's talk about it later."

The beautiful priestess seemed to want to persuade her, but the young pharaoh waved her hand impatiently, making her retreat.

"Brother Wang is still too young...?"

Outside the room, Priestess whispered to herself.

"It's not too young, compared to the age when Wang yourself experienced that kind of thing for the first time."

In front, the female officials serving the priestess greeted them respectfully. Isis stopped talking to herself and waited quietly for the attendants to come.

-

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, the king said that there are too many things to call you today, please go back."

At that moment, Ke Ya almost thought that something was wrong with his ears.

"What? You say it again?!"

It was extremely rude to speak before his master, but the guard thought that Ke Ya's gaffe at the moment was completely understandable.

The Pharaoh refused to meet with His Royal Highness Wangdi—this was the first time since Wangdi came to Egypt.

It is already well known that the young Pharaoh loved his younger brother, so when this middle-aged loyal guard heard the order from the king, he almost thought that something was wrong with him. fault.He stammered and confirmed several times to the female officer who came to convey the order, and then he accepted this strange order in a daze.

Too busy with government affairs so no time to summon?

joke!

He was obviously so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to Die, but he still wanted to force Wang Di, who was so bored to doze off in a daze, to sit next to him and accompany him!The person who must be accompanied by His Royal Highness Wang Di when eating every day!Who is that person who would let His Highness Wangdi stay in his bedroom every night unless Wangdi loses his temper and would allow him to go back to his bedroom——

"Are you kidding, this is simply—"

"Eh? Wait, wait a minute, Keya, don't worry."

"Your Highness, this kind of thing—"

"Keya!" In order to stop his loyal bodyguard, the young Wangdi raised his voice with some headaches, "I haven't even spoken yet, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

So, although he was still full of dissatisfaction, the black-haired guard who was shocked by his gaffe stepped back with a straight face.

The big light violet eyes blinked at the guard who sent the message, and then looked at the people who were whispering not far away.

No matter how much you ask the guard, you probably won't get an answer.

The young Wangdi thought so.

So what's the quickest way to...

"Seth, good morning~~"

The hard-working young priest, who was buried in a mountain of official duties, almost crushed the pen in his hand when he saw the young prince suddenly appearing in front of him.

After all, this stubborn and serious handsome priest is really not a person who is good at covering up lies.

Seeing Seth's reaction, the immature face of the young prince smiled more and more cutely.

"Seth, you should know the purpose of my coming to you, right?"

"..."

When a lie cannot be told, the best thing to do is to remain silent and non-violent non-cooperative.

"Seth, I am the king's brother of Egypt, and I order you to tell what you have concealed."

"..."

The great priest, who abides by etiquette and seriousness, frowned tightly on his handsome face.

"Seth, you who are in charge of discipline should know that the crime of lying to Wangdi is unforgivable, right?"

"..."

In terms of strictly observing the precepts, he has always set an example-at least on the surface, the great priest's forehead began to sweat.

"Alright, alright, Your Royal Highness, stop bullying Priest Seth."

In fact, the beautiful priestess who was standing here at the very beginning, but insisted on watching a good show with a wicked sense of humor, stood up to rescue Seth, and finally came as a savior when Seth started to sweat coldly.

She smiled at their Egyptian brother.

"Your Highness, I can take you to Pharaoh's side."

"Isis—" Seth stood up abruptly.

"Stop talking, Seth." Isis interrupted Seth, "I will bear all the responsibilities, even if it is the king's anger."

-

The earth is trembling, it seems to be pregnant with long-term anger and unsatisfactory ups and downs.

The ruined bricks and ruins are a dilapidated scene.

At this time, amidst the violent tremors of the ground, the remaining half-tilted stone pillars burst and shattered into gravel and fell to the ground.

The huge and scarred altar cracked several hideous gaps again, as if an invisible terrifying force was tearing it from the air, and the solid stone ground was like fragile tofu, clattering amidst terrifying roars. It was torn apart with a sound.

The roar of the collapse seemed to be the painful groans of the dying beasts, and the already dilapidated ancient huge altar once again collapsed most of its body.

It is so humble and weak in the face of that terrifying force that makes people irresistible, and it can only meet its fate of destruction while breathing.

Everything just happened in an instant——

When everything stopped, at the center of the earthquake, the young pharaoh who caused the current terrifying scene seemed to show a little tiredness.

Releasing all the magic power in the body in one breath will make people feel extremely tired physically and even mentally.

He sat down among the gravel, exhaled lightly, and raised his head unconsciously.

However, this unconscious glance made the boy king's crimson pupils stop in a certain direction.

His three great priests stood there.

His beloved young brother was standing not far in front of the priests.

The expression on the face that was similar to him but looked much more immature was very dumbfounded.

The large violet-hued eyes grew wider and stared at him without blinking.

He seemed intimidated by the sight.

The young Pharaoh's face darkened, his eyes wandered among the three great priests, and finally fell on the beautiful priestess.

His beautiful crimson pupils seemed to be able to vaguely see the traces of burning red flames because of the anger brewing.

However, his eyes didn't stay on Isis for long, and he returned to his brother again.

The young pharaoh sat where he was, staring at his younger brother with crimson pupils.

The wind passing over the open land caused his golden hair to fly, and there was no expression on that handsome face.

He just looked at his brother quietly.

The young Wangdi also looked at him in a daze.

The young Pharaoh was silent, he was motionless, maybe he was waiting for something.

In such a solemn silence, Isis suddenly spoke.

"Seth, maybe this time, you can get what you want."

"Get what you want?" Seth asked back, frowning.

The beautiful priestess smiled.

"Didn't you always want Wang and brother Wang to keep a distance?"

"……What's the meaning?"

Isis glanced at another dark-skinned priest beside him, and Mahat just looked at his pharaoh nervously, not paying attention to the conversation between the two of them.

"Seth, you were promoted from the lower-level priests because of your outstanding aptitude. Because of a coincidence, you got the approval of the high priest to get in touch with the golden artifact and successfully summoned the monster. Only then did you become a high priest."

Isis said, "Your path is different from those of us noble priests."

"We are destined to become great priests since we were born. We exist to assist the Pharaoh. Therefore, Mahat and I have served the Pharaoh since we were young, accompanied him to grow up, and came to the king halfway. You are different."

She glanced at Seth and smiled.

"Seth, I didn't say this to show off my status or exclude you."

"I know."

Seth replied, his expression was very calm.

Although in some respects Isis's practices and behaviors did not allow him to agree, but he also understood Isis, she is not such a boring and self-righteous woman.

"I just want to say that compared with Mahat and I, you who started serving the king halfway, there are many things you don't know."

Isis said, "For things like today, all you know is that Wang possesses an overpowering power that is completely inconsistent with his current young body. In order to prevent this overpowering power from backlashing and causing Wang's body to collapse , so this ceremony must be held every year to let the king release some of his power—that’s all.”

Instead of looking at Seth's frowning eyes, the beautiful priestess just talked happily to herself.

"I still have a desire to chat today, so it doesn't matter if I tell you about the past."

The young prince of Egypt possesses rare and powerful magical powers that surpass those of his father and even his ancestors.

This pleased the Pharaoh and many of Egypt's priests and officials.For them, the strength of the future Egyptian king is the guarantee of Egypt's strength.

However, the only one who seemed worried about this was the high priest who announced the rare and powerful power of the Egyptian prince.

The prince's strength was growing rapidly at a speed that he couldn't control, but the growth of his body strength couldn't keep up with it at all.

The high priest said rather worriedly.

If this continues, the prince's body will collapse one day because he cannot bear his powerful magic power.

The high priest proposed that a ceremony be held every year to allow the prince to release his power as much as possible, so that the growth of magic power can be somewhat delayed.

The prince of Egypt was only seven years old when this ceremony was first performed.

Although under the king's education since he was a child, he appears to be much more mature and stable than his peers, but he is still just a child after all, and he may not understand what this ceremony means when he is young.

At that time, he also had a black kitten. Children always prefer small animals, and the loved kitten seems to be very attached to its little owner.

When the ceremony was held, the prince took his little pet to the empty altar, which was still a majestic building at that time, and handed it to Mahat who accompanied him.

Under the guidance of the high priest, the magic power in the prince's body exploded in an instant.

The earth shook, the stone pillars burst, and the huge and majestic altar collapsed and collapsed in an instant, destroying it at once.

Except for the high priest who knew this would happen and the prince who was tired from releasing too much magic power, everyone present was terrified by the terrifying scene that could almost be described as a catastrophe.Even when Mahat and Isis saw this scene, although their faces were not as pale as those of the attendants, their faces were also pale.

The tired prince reached out to hug his little pet back, but the frightened kitten struggled desperately and scratched the prince's face with one paw.

That was the first time the prince who was cared for by his servants was hurt and saw his own blood for the first time.

Even if he is very much loved by him, he is still just a pet... It is okay to lose your temper, and it is okay to scratch him once in a while, but if you really hurt yourself, it is unforgivable.

At that time, the prince drew out his dagger without hesitation, and hacked to death the little black cat that had been his favorite.

"After the king grows up, even without the guidance of the high priest, he can release his power on his own, so the high priest seldom participates in this ceremony... However, Seth, to be honest, the first time I participated in this ceremony, I saw Would you be afraid of that kind of powerful force that seems to be able to destroy everything in an instant?"

Facing Isis's question, Seth answered without hesitation.

"It's not so much fear, it's better to say fear. It's a power that doesn't belong to humans. As a human being, you will naturally feel awe and fear."

The beautiful priestess laughed.

"It is indeed the answer you would give... But at that time, everyone who saw that situation for the first time looked at the Pharaoh who was still a prince with fear of seeing a monster. For a period of time, even the slightest approach of the prince would make them tremble and retreat in fright, and they dare not take a step closer to the prince."

Seth snorted disdainfully.

"As long as Isis and Mahat didn't do that, the king won't care about those humble guys."

"Mahat and I are the king's most loyal servants, so naturally we would not be so rude to the king." Isis said with a smile, and she looked forward, "Well~~ It's really exciting, His Royal Highness will What's the reaction?"

"Isis, your bad taste is really unflattering."

"Don't say that, Seth, sooner or later, my younger brother will know about this kind of thing. And he didn't tell you like that before, 'If it is a relationship that is too fragile to withstand a single blow, it is better to destroy it as soon as possible'. So, I just You're helping him do what he wants to do, aren't you?"

"...What do you think will happen?"

"do not know."

Isis simply and briskly gave an answer that was equivalent to no answer.

"Seth, you don't like me like this, do you?"

Seth didn't answer.

However, Mahat, who had completely listened to their conversation, spoke suddenly at this moment, although he had not spoken.

"Seth, there is no way for Isis to do this."

he said, looking worried.

"Time is running out, and we are about to reach the limit. We can't think about it."

"Your Excellency the High Priest said that he will not use his strength on this matter. Even if it leads to the most dangerous situation, he will not act."

"So even if it is a temptation... If it is His Royal Highness who has the same blood as the king and can see the [King Soul], it may be the key to that matter."
