"Ow, my neck is killing me from wearing this crown," you exclaim, stretching your neck in pain.
"Get used to it, my dear. You're the Pharaoh of Egypt now," Habi replies, his voice filled with pride.
"But how am I supposed to fight Caesar with a crooked neck?" you retorte, feeling even more discomfort.
In your private chambers, you engage in a candid conversation with your husband. The coronation went well, and now that the remaining living Romans are kept captive, you aim to trade prisoners.
With the help of your father's wealth and Habi's adept reasoning, you've assembled an army to rid the Roman Empire from Egypt.
As the mastermind behind the Egyptians' disdain for Caesar and his troops, Habi has become a significant figure in your plan to dethrone the emperor and restore your people's freedom.
Habi appears bewildered at your sudden gesture. As you lay your head in his lap, he places his hands on your face, leaning in to give you a reassuring kiss.
"I am honored to be your husband," he says.
"But it is me who is fortunate that the Pharaoh has chosen me to be her consort and the father to her twins."
You smile up at Habi, appreciative of his support and commitment.
Despite the excruciating backlash you might face.
You know that his determination and your combined efforts can lead Egypt to success.
"I have fears that Caeser won't let our family live in peace especially our children, oh, how I fear for our sons' lives, Habi"
Habi's heart flutters at the word 'Our'
"I will burn anyone who dares to harm you and our children"
As your gaze shifted, you notice the transformation of his expression from kind to cruel, with a sinister glint in his eyes.
You sometimes forget how evil and cruel Habi can get when it comes to defending your and his family and country.
"Don't you find it strange how Caeser has been silent for the past two weeks" you state worriedly.
When, Habi was about to answer, the guards announces the presence of your handmaiden, Hager.
"Hager, is there anything you wish to inform of?" you inquire.
"Yes, the head of the Jewish community in Alexanderia wishes to speak with you"
You give a knowing look to your husband, before turning to Hager.
"Alright, inform him I will speak to him in a while"
🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸
You stare in shock at the familiar face.
The same familiar face belongs to the man who drowned you in your past life.
Kareem Adam was your fellow Egyptologist friend, who you trusted.
But, turns out he is a backstabber.
The irony is that he was also antisemitic, and an extreme nationalist.
Now he resides in the body of Ezra, the head of the Jewish community.
"I can explain" those are the first words that escapes your ex-friend's mouth.
Everyone in the throne room is confused, while you smirk and cross on leg over the other.
"I'm listening, you piece of shit"
