The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

The white-haired boy Moses was a child of a foreigner who was picked up and adopted by the pharaoh princess by the river.

It is said that they are aliens, but in fact in Egypt, the ethnic group from which Moses was born had a very low status and was an enslaved ethnic group.

He was a poor abandoned baby, but he was lucky enough to be adopted by the princess, and he got a good living environment and an education that ordinary people could not enjoy.

From an early age Moses had a sense of his own good fortune.

He is precocious and grateful to the princess for her kindness and tolerance, but he never sees himself as different, let alone being adopted by the princess as a member of the royal family.Instead, he left the palace early to observe and experience the widespread suffering of the poor.

In the words of a certain prince who only recognized Moses, he had never seen such a compassionate and selfless person like Brother Yi.

Actively ran among the poor slaves at a young age, tasted the sufferings of the world when he was a teenager, and tried his best to help the suffering people-the only person who can do these things is probably only Moses!

It is inconceivable for such a different person to have a relationship with a high and mighty prince.

Unexpectedly, now, he actually has contact with the high priest in the Karnak Temple.

It must have been Ramses who knew both of them who connected the two, but it was Tahir who first proposed to meet Moses.

Taher had long thought of leaving the temple and visiting the poor areas of the city.

"Don't you also want to understand the people's sentiments? Isn't this something that I, a prince, should do more. Hmph, if I don't catch up today, you will preempt me, that's not okay!"

"Well, Ramses, is your voice too loud?"

"……Oh."

His Royal Highness was reminded tactfully by his righteous brother, so he reluctantly lowered his voice.

Ramses, who suddenly appeared, of course ran over secretly.

He just came back from the army a few days ago, and the letter to Tahir in the temple arrived before himself.

It was a bit unexpected but it didn't seem to be unexpected. The prince's unrealistic request was brutally rejected by the high priest, leaving no room for turning around.

Ramses should be angry about this, but with so many years of experience and lessons, his intuition told him that it is useless to be angry with Tahir.

Rather than sulking alone, he might as well act quickly to break the tragic fate that he was about to be cruelly left behind by the happy-go-round stepbrother and the little priest.

"So, you left your studies and came to bother us."

"——how can you call it an interruption! Look at how weak you two are, if you are targeted, you will go back crying."

Ramses refused to admit that he was here to join in the fun and make trouble. Not only that, he also bluntly pointed out that the combination of the righteous brother and the high priest was quite unreasonable.

"It's much messier than the city center, tsk, although Thebes is better than other places."

Visible to the naked eye, Ramses didn't directly say where the slums were in chaos, but his brows obviously frowned.

Since he was ten years old, the prince who was determined to be the heir joined the army, and spent most of his time being honed, and he also went to many places with the army.

The area where the common people live, or the slums with poorer conditions, has never been a place where rich and noble people with status will set foot, let alone members of the royal family with higher status.

Before this, Ramses had actually never been there.

Most of the knowledge about the life of the poor came from the occasional words mentioned by the brother-in-law, and the others came from what he heard during the army.

The prince who had formally received the pharaoh's education felt that even in order to rule the country better in the future, he had to go to the people to understand it himself.

Yes, he is definitely going.

But according to the expectation - it shouldn't be today!What's more, it's fine with Moses, why Tahir has to come at this time!

After hesitating to speak and thinking about it, Ramses finally decided to speak: "I heard from my father today that a group of spies sneaked into Thebes, and I haven't found any traces of those people yet."

"Although under the eagle eyes of the gods, those shameless outsiders will definitely be caught." The voice was lowered, but the brown-haired boy's expression was restrained from smiling, and he stared at his companion, looking particularly serious.

Ramses said, "When I knew it, I wanted you not to go, but I didn't have time. That's it. Well, anyway——"

"Just say that you are worried about us and will catch up, isn't it okay, Ramses?"

Ramses (suddenly choked): "..."

Indeed, the prince heard the sound of a low laugh.

The speaker was Tahir.

Except for the moment when he couldn't hold back, the high priest's attitude towards the rushing prince was just average, not cold, but not particularly intimate...

It turned out to be waiting here!

Ramses suddenly woke up.

"I see, Tahir, you did it on purpose! In fact, you guessed it a long time ago... No, how did you guess?"

I have to say that the brown-haired boy (with the dull hair on his head that hasn't changed for eight years) bluffs for a while, then solemnly - and then quickly bluffs again, in the eyes of others, it's really a bit...

Well.

Sure enough, such imprecise adjectives cannot be used.

The high priest, who was still very cold on the outside, thought to himself.

"Of course I saw it."

Tahir retracted his eyes from the top of the prince's head without any trace, and his tone was steady, as if his eyes were not tilted further because of the widened height difference between the two.

I haven't seen each other for two and a half years. Compared with the last time I saw him, Ramses has really changed a bit.

It's far more than changing from a just cute boy to a boy who can be said to be "handsome"-such a change.

He had always been taller than Tahir, but now he was a head taller.

Not only that, the brown-haired and brown-skinned boy has received years of hard training in the army, his body no longer looks thin and dry, and his considerable muscles have already bulged.

Most notably:

Without saying anything, the young man's temperament seemed to suddenly become fierce, and there was a faint sense of oppression in his golden eyes that were as bright as the sun.

Just now, Tahir accidentally bumped into those shining eyes, as if he was burned, he quickly looked away.

The blond boy whose progress in the past two years is not in appearance slightly pursed his lips, feeling extremely complicated for a while.

Not surprisingly, Ramses didn't notice the boy's subtle reaction, and paid all his attention to that sentence.

"Look... I saw it again, okay, I believe it."

The same rhetoric has appeared many times in the eight years, and Ramses, without exception, believed it every time, and naturally this time too.

But: "You have to come today because you have seen the future related to those spies? No, isn't it more dangerous!"

Tahir said: "I see, it doesn't matter, and they are not the focus of my visit. Have you forgotten, I am protected by the gods."

"Even if the gods want to protect you, it's impossible to be that late..." Ramses said subconsciously, but immediately returned to his senses: "Wait, could it be that you put Mei—"

Tahir nodded, making a gesture to pull away the robe that was tightly wrapped around him from beginning to end, revealing Lord Mejed (pretend to) tucked under the robe.

As soon as Ramses appeared, Lord Mejed would abandon him in an instant and appear on top of His Highness the Prince.

The high priest refused to admit that he had been envious of Ramses' special treatment for a long time, so he would play him seriously now.

"..."

One thing that hasn't changed for so many years is that Ramses still has a delicate mood when facing Lord Mejed.

Every time he came face to face with Lord Mejed (supposedly), his neck would ache, a riddle that would never be answered.

"No need, I'll just say hello to Lord Mejed like this."

Ramses felt that his neck was sore again, so he quickly reached out and pulled back the robe that Tahir was about to pull off.

But maybe because he was absent-minded, he used too much strength, and the hood that covered half of the little priest's face was also pulled crookedly, and a strand of blond hair slipped down secretly, touching the fingertips that the boy didn't have time to put down.

At this time, when he raised his head again, the prince caught sight of the fully revealed face of the blond boy under the hood.

It didn't make sense, but Ramses was stunned after seeing this.

My heart skipped half a beat inexplicably, and then it hit my chest again.

"..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, with my protection, you will definitely not have any accidents."

The prince's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, looking around very deliberately, but he didn't notice that in this sentence, he missed his dear brother-in-law.

Moses said, why does it look a bit wrong? It feels like Ramses's mind is going to drift to the other side of the Nile...

Forget it, can't think of a reason.

The elder brother can only smile: "You two, can you go now? Something seems to be going on in front. I heard a noise."
