The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Everyone knows that High Priest Tahir has a bad relationship with Prince Ramses.

At present, it should not have reached the level of "bad". After all, the parties involved are still children.

But according to everyone's observation, if the current trend continues, it is uncertain what the future will be.

The high priest and the prince would have lessons together every day.

However, they first had a fight outside behind everyone's backs. I don't know when it started, and the private contact seemed to gradually tend to zero.

Except during class time, no one else would see these two staying together, not even walking for a while.

"They're still kids, it'll be fine in the future."

The former high priest Senedi usually said that, and he was actually happy with this development.

At least in this country, many people don't want the future pharaoh to have a good relationship with the high priest who has no power but has gods.

Yes, it is almost certain that Prince Ramses will succeed his older brother in the line of succession.

This year has passed, and the eldest prince's condition has worsened, and there is no possibility of recovery. It may be a few days before he responds to Osiris' call.

Although it did not appear on the surface, even Pharaoh Seti shifted his focus in grief and paid more attention to Prince Ramses.

Once the eldest prince died, Ramses was the only son of Pharaoh now.

It is reported that the pharaoh is determined to start cultivating future heirs again. Although Prince Ramses is still staying in the temple at this time, he will be called back by the pharaoh and sent to a special pharaoh school to formally attend. study.

In other words, Ramses, who has been in the temple for more than a year, will leave soon.

Not to mention how many people are keenly aware of the changing situation and plan to plan for their future.

During the period when Prince Ramses did not leave for the time being, His Royal Highness undoubtedly received unprecedented attention.

Wherever he went, he saw a bunch of people.

No matter what he does, he gets compliments aplenty.

he……

"..."

"It's coming again! This group of people is really annoying!"

After finally avoiding the many irritating and tactful gazes, Ramses finally came to the only place where he could completely relax after a while of hiding.

The situation is about the same as it was a year ago, only to a different degree.However, now Ramses is no longer depressed and bored alone like in the past, and can face real problems more calmly.

As soon as he came, he complained to the little priest and expressed his strong dissatisfaction: "They almost told the father to let me succeed immediately."

"No, they are just like this in front of you, and they are another face in front of Pharaoh."

Tahir was reading his book, but he didn't even look up at the energetic Ramses.

"Okay, it's not that I can't guess." Ramses was still upset, and when he looked at the little priest again and didn't look him in the eye, he became upset for the thousandth, 860th time.

He ignored him, and he wanted to grab him and talk non-stop: "Is the position of heir so important? Tahir, you know, what I hate the most is these weird attitudes."

"Well... yes. Ramses, just like what you said just now, even if I don't tell you the reason, you can think of it all yourself."

I'm sorry, Tahir is still reading his book—to be precise, it is a roll of papyrus that he copied himself. The content written on it is regarded as a treasure by him, and must be solemnly read without wasting a second. Just figure it out.

That is to say, Ramses was nagging at the side, and another person stood by and disturbed, not only the eyes, the arrogant high priest would not even say a word to him.

However, His Royal Highness still seems not satisfied with this "special treatment".

"So, I just want to hear your opinion—hey, is that thing so beautiful? It's just a lucky person with the same name as this prince..."

Tahir (cold): "Wrong, you are lucky to have the same name as that adult."

Ramses (angry): "Tahir!!!"

Tahir ignored him, and his eyes changed in the process of admiring the creation of the great pharaoh, as if he was moved to tears.

His Royal Highness, the third thousand eight hundred and seventy second times, was so angry that he died.

Ramses thought to himself, how could the little priest be such a little priest?

Obviously she was so cute when she blushed and asked him to call him by his name before, but now it's only been a year, she turns her face on him and ignores him from time to time, cold and ruthless...

Why did Tahir have such an attitude from the beginning, and now he is just returning to his nature?shut up!

While the prince is sulking alone, take a look around first.

The secret base they found behind their backs, which is the place where they are now, is actually not far away, just behind the main building complex of the temple.

Standing alone on the edge of the plain, this stone house was originally built as a temporary shelter for the people who came to the temple to worship, but it was too old, half of the beams collapsed, and it was abandoned early on. Covered by towering weeds.

The former High Priest Senedi once thought of it and planned to tear it down, but was interrupted by the coming of the oracle in the middle, and gradually forgot about the unimportant damaged stone house.

Normally, no one would notice here, and artisans would not come near it.

The incumbent high priest with a pair of discerning eyes had noticed this excellent place a long time ago, and brought the prince who had unknowingly gotten better and better here, and their secret base was immediately established.

The two teenagers were rumored to have a "bad relationship". Needless to say, it was largely a misunderstanding of others' self-righteousness.

Although there are also Tahir's own (emphasis) reasons.

After waking up from the huge shock of "someone said to be my friend" at the beginning, the high priest quickly sorted out his mentality, and would never declare defeat because of this "small matter".

Tahir's essence is still that withdrawn and more arrogant, indifferent young man who doesn't like to talk to anyone who asks him.

Even if he was a "friend", Ramses who tried to interfere with him while he was reading was still an idiot, so he resolutely ignored him!

So in class, the high priest who was obsessed with studying was as cold as ice, and he would never give His Royal Highness even a look.

Outside the classroom, he walked fast, and Ramses also ran fast. The fundamental reason was not that the two of them were tired of watching each other and didn't want to look at each other for even a second, but——

Anyway, we will meet at the secret base later, so what time is wasting?

Tahir took a step first, in addition to completing the homework that he must do every day as the high priest, he also had to go to the holy lake to wash the feet of Lord Mejed who was with him.

Well, you heard me right.

It is indeed to wash Lord Mejed's feet.

"Obviously we will stay together tomorrow, Master Mejed, did you go out to play by yourself at night?"

Tahir was very distressed by Lord Mejed's feet that were always mysteriously dirty.

Of course, it had nothing to do with Lord Mejed stepping on the hem of his robe with his dirty feet, he—he didn't mind at all.

But, how can you just sit back and watch the gods get dirty?

Every day, he would roll up his sleeves and wash Lord Mejed's feet carefully, even if Lord Mejed silently expressed his unwillingness to wash it, it was useless.

Lord Mejed has not commented on this, but Ramses has something to say.

"... So God doesn't like washing feet? Don't stare at me! I'm just feeling emotional!"

It cannot be said that His Royal Highness despises the gods.In this country, everyone has an unbreakable faith.

Ramses thought it was too weird.

He couldn't pay homage to Lord Mejed's true self, he could only see Tahir holding a ball of air all day long, and trying to press the air into the water, the water splashed, but he still couldn't see anything.

The lesser priest, who is inseparable from Lord Mejed (equal to air), is as single-minded in caring for the gods as he is when he reads the "writings" of some unknown person.

Wait, is it reversed?Why did he subtly feel that in the heart of the little priest, Lord Mejed still lost to that unknown person?

Ramses didn't get the words out, but the confusion was certain.

Unknowingly, the young prince who is one year older seems to be taller, but his mentality seems to be naive in some aspects.

He is not jealous of Master Mejed, but he has quite a problem with the "great Ramses" that Tahir has been talking about from time to time recently.

Who is that?It is said that he has the same name as him, and he is also an unprecedentedly great pharaoh... Heh!How can it be!If there is such a person, how could he not know?

Oh, and what's more, Tahir copied it carefully—the volume of... the collection of poems that he is holding in his hand now?

Ramses (unconvinced): "I read it too, and the level is about the same. Tsk, it's all about you love me and I love you. It's so tiresome and disgusting to read... I can write it!"

Tahir (without hesitation): "You can't."

"why!"

"It's so naive, Ramses. Do you think that what the lord wrote is just ordinary love? Superficial, too superficial! It is full of the great Pharaoh's love for his people, as well as his enthusiasm..."

The in-depth analysis and praise of [-] words are omitted below.

"..."

Ramses was stunned.

Then he didn't believe in evil, and brought Tahir's "treasure" again, wrinkled his nose and looked at it again.

No, he still couldn't see the connotation.

What "you walked in front of me, you took my heart away", this, this, this, isn't it a "love poem" that even children can see!

The prince was exhausted.

He didn't want to accept the fact that he was defeated by Mr. Mejed and unknown people so easily. Even if he could guess the ending, he would impulsively say:

"Hey, Tahir, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Ramses thought that Tahir, who was addicted to reading poetry, would still ignore him.

However, there are some surprises.

As soon as his words fell, the blond boy raised his head, and the emotion that made Ramses' heart skip a beat flashed in his gaze.

"Where are you going? Ah...I see."

"You're going back to the palace, aren't you, Ramses."
