Pharaoh

"Yu...gi..."

The handsome young king pronounced the word awkwardly.

"Strange pronunciation... is it the language of your country?"

Nodding, he continued to ravage and play with the green leaves that he had just pulled up in his hand.

The little black cat Emma disappeared obediently without a trace after his so-called "Brother Wang" waved his hand.

...I have never seen it so obedient in front of me.

The cool water flowed slowly over his dipped feet, bringing a touch of coolness on a hot day.

To be honest, when the Pharaoh asked him questions, he sat on his own, just tilted his head to look at him, and lazily answered without saying a word-according to the words of those old-fashioned priests, this Simply unforgivable behavior.

Convex - Convex

Who cares about you.

At that time, he was so dazed by the force-feeding teaching by a bunch of people that he really wanted to make this gesture to the group of priests.

But considering the impossibility of them understanding the gesture, he eventually dropped the idea.

"game……"

Frowning and pronouncing this weird syllable to him extremely unskillfully, the young Pharaoh didn't care about the so-called etiquette, and probably understood that the prince's character and behavior were as weird to him as the name.

As an elder brother, he was very tolerant and forgave Brother Wang for these small details of faux pas.

"Seven days later, I will give you a new name."

"'Give a name'? What do you mean?"

Although thanks to the golden cabinet, he is proficient in using the ancient Egyptian language, but he is still completely at a loss when it comes to certain customs and lingua franca.

"You are my younger brother, the son of the great King Aknamkano of Egypt, you must have a name that fits the dignity of the Egyptian royal family."

answered the young Pharaoh.

"Because the father has passed away, I will give you a name."

He would probably be happy to accept it.

The young king thought.

As long as he officially accepts his name under the witness of the high priest and all the priests, he will be officially recognized in the Egyptian royal family, which also means that he has the legal right to inherit the Egyptian throne.

"Oh, that one."

He absent-mindedly responded.

"No, I'll just use my current name."

The young man who seemed to be too nervous but actually completely unable to understand the profound meaning in it casually refused.

At this moment, he was lying on the edge of the pool, and cautiously reached out to a lotus plant close to him.

Obviously, the so-called name-giving was not as attractive as the beautiful lotus in his eyes.

"……Need not?"

The boy king, who was too surprised to turn the corner for a moment, stared at his brother motionless with his ruby ​​eyes.

Thoughts were churning endlessly in his mind.

My brother... are you saying this to show me that you have no intention of taking the throne, or are you using such words to lower my vigilance against you.

If the other party knew his thoughts like this, the boy would surely fall down laughing.

A boy who grew up in a society of equality under the rule of law has no common sense about things like the throne, and is too lazy to learn common sense about things that he doesn't care about at all.

His impression of the throne stayed at the initial stage of "Huh? The other me is the Pharaoh? It sounds very majestic."

And "another me, you won't find it annoying when Fafa Wang has to take care of so many things and has no time to play games."

Although his words once made the other him speechless for a while.

The sad thing is that today's Boy King naturally doesn't know about this.

For this pharaoh who inherited the throne at a young age, the war for the throne was unimaginably tragic.

He almost got out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood before he sat in his current position.

Back then, even the offshoots with a little bit of Pharaoh blood couldn't help being tempted to try to get their hands on the throne, let alone his pure blood brother now──he absolutely didn't believe that he had no greed for the throne.

(Actually, not at all...)

The momentary trance made him relax his vigilance a little.

The sudden warm feeling on his arm made him subconsciously look down.

I saw the boy who was still sitting by the pool turned around at some point, smiled and held his arm.

"Presumptuous---"

With a low growl, he frowned and stared fiercely.

No one dares to touch the body of the noble Pharaoh without his permission.

This guy... Even if he is his younger brother, he is too presumptuous!

"Hey?"

The teenager looked at him with a pair of big violet-toned eyes with a little confusion, a little bit clear and a little bit innocent.

She was still looking at him with a smile, probably not understanding why he was angry at all.

All of a sudden, his full of anger poured down.

After all, he was raised by civilians abroad, although his mother should have taught him Egyptian.

However, not to mention the rules in the Egyptian royal palace, I am afraid that even the slightly difficult Egyptian language cannot be understood.

No matter what I say, I am Brother Wang, so why bother with him.

Thinking of this, the young Pharaoh not only calmed down.

Just as she was about to ask him to let go, the other party spoke first.

"Brother Wang, shall we eat here at noon?"

With crooked smiling eyes, the boy tilted his head to look at him, and that immature face became more and more lovely.

The immature face without any scheming, the unguarded eyes, the smiling face as pure as a piece of white paper.

It made the young king, who had been making all kinds of precautions and probing behaviors against him, feel the darkness in his heart even more.

"..."

"Brother Wang~~"

Illusion, Brother Wang's refreshing and soft voice seemed to be a few degrees softer than usual.

The face that is exactly the same as his but can smile very cute is getting closer, making people feel the harmony of the twins more and more.

It made him more aware of the existence of the only relative in the world who had the same blood as him.

For the first time, someone can get so close to his superior self.

For the first time, someone could smile at themselves without purpose or fear.

so troublesome.

He thought awkwardly.

Forget it, let's do the duty of Brother Wang.

He waved his hand to summon the guards at the door, gave them some instructions, and soon a maid brought food.

Seeing that the younger brother who was sitting by the pool had no intention of getting up, Atum also simply sat by the pool.

Clear water and blue waves, pink and white flowers, the wind blowing over the cheeks carries the sweet fragrance of flowers in the pool.

Eating here is also not that unbearable.

Thinking so, he reached out to pick up the earthenware cup beside him, and the alluring aroma of wine emanated from the clear liquid, which was his favorite aroma.

"Brother Wang~~Come~~"

Keeping the posture of holding the wine glass in mid-air, the cry next to his ear made him turn around subconsciously.

A bitten piece of bread stuck in front of his mouth made his mind, which has always been praised as wise and great, stop suddenly.

And the smiling face of the boy holding the bread froze as if he realized something in an instant.

Even the facial expressions of all the attendants who were waiting not far away to be ready to serve at any time all turned into embarrassing shapes in an instant.

How dare you give what you have eaten to the great Pharaoh? Your Royal Highness is so brave.

Everyone was thinking this way, looking up at their Highness the Younger Brother who was smiling so stiffly with incomparably admiring gazes.

Staring at the bitten bread stretched out to his mouth, the young Pharaoh twitched his brows and eyes.

Handed the bread that he took a bite out of to the other party, His Royal Highness, whose smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

These two people who seemed to be frozen in the gap of time formed a weird and embarrassing scene.

blue waves rippling in the sun

lotus dancing in blue waves

sun shining through green leaves

blue sky, white clouds

Well, the weather is really nice today.

Not far away, Shaman who looked up at the sky calmly thought so.

"Meow~~"

The arrival of the savior relieved His Royal Highness, who was eager to find a hole in the ground, and immediately withdrew the bread in his hand.

"Ah...that...actually..."

Turning his head away, his baby face was already flushed, and even the roots of his ears were dyed pink.

"I didn't do it on purpose...Because I was always feeding Emma, ​​so I formed a habit..."

While stammering, he handed the food in his hand to the little black cat that had already jumped on his knee and flicked its tail begging for food.

The kitten meowed and happily bit down.

card wipe.

There was another slight sound.

It bites empty again.

The hand with white skin that offered it food was stopped by another hand with light brown skin.

"You eat it yourself."

Said the boy Wang with a light brown complexion, casually threw a piece of cooked fish to the little black cat who was looking at him sadly.

"Huh? But, but..."

"no need."

The young Pharaoh suddenly uttered three words without thinking.

He froze for a moment, then understood what he meant.

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed unnecessary.

He is now with the pharaoh, even if those who see him as a thorn in his side really want to poison him, it is impossible to pick this time.

This time, he didn't need to help Emma test the poison, and he didn't have to eat everything with fear, it was tasteless.

He thought so, but there was a trace of fatigue unconsciously between his brows and eyes.

He didn't notice that the young king next to him glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eyes.

Turn away quickly.

"You don't have to do that in the future."

The sudden sound woke him up from his thoughts.

Realizing that it was someone around him who said it, he was a little confused.

He looked down at the food in his hand, clenched it tightly, and let it go again.

Turning his head, his violet-toned eyes stared at the side cheek of the Pharaoh's young face beside him.

The crimson eyes of the young king were only looking forward.

With an expressionless face, even the voice is indifferent without any ups and downs.

"You are my younger brother."

He says,

"I will protect you."

"I won't let anyone hurt you."
