Maybe marrying the pharaoh is not so bad after all.

You stare at the golden accessories and jewels with wide eyes, not believing that all of this belongs to you now.

What caught your eyes is the golden Lotus tiara.

Diamonds might be Merilyn Monroe's best friend.

But for you, gold is something else.

You pick up the Tiara and place it on top of your head while holding Tetisheri with your other arm.

"You look wonderful, my Lady"

Your handmaiden, Heqet, says, staring in admiration at you.

"Thank you, that's sweet of you to say"

You smile at her, as Tetisheri tries to lean down to grab one of the golden coins.

Quickly, you tighten your grab around the baby to stop her from falling.

"I was wondering if the physicians could do monthly check on Tetisheri?" you ask

Indeed, a baby her age does need medical care.

Despite the ancient medical not being like modern one but Ancient Egypt was the most advanced in such field.

"Of course, my Lady, I believe Matvei would be the best physician to check on your daughter, my Lady."

Hearing the modern name shocked you and made you turn fully to Heqet.

"Matvei?"

"I know his name is strange but I believe it's because he is a foreigner" you frown in shock.

"He was also dressed in a similar way to you when you first came to the palace, but the fabrics were different"

Now, your doubts are confirmed, that this 'Matvei' is from your modern time.

"I want to see him now."

And for once you thought you were special for being the only modern person in this timeline.

You are kind of disappointed.

While on your way to the healing area in the palace, a woman stops you.

"So, you are the pharaoh's new whore?"

You sigh, rolling your eyes at the woman.

Yes, you are not surprised by the woman's insult.

You have read too much manhwas and mangas to know that there is always that person who wants the lord/king/Duke's love.

But, you are not going to be stepped on, no way.

"Get out of my way, peasant"

You say calmly and with a confident smirk.

"He would get bored of you quickly" the woman exclaims, hoping to infuriate you.

"You seem to want to reflect your experience on me, the only difference is that Tutankhamun wishes to make me his wife"

You smirk at the woman's shocked expression.

"Tsk tsk. I suggest you move along before I have the guards escort you out. I'm sure you wouldn't want to spend the night in the dungeons, now would you?"

The woman's face contorts with anger and jealousy at your words. She steps closer, her voice dripping with venom.

"You are a whore nothing more, and your daughter is a bastard."

Now, you don't mind being insulted, but to have Tetisheri being called a bastard is fueling your anger.

"How dare you insult the future queen and future princess of Egypt, I will report you to the pharaoh, Merit." Heqet threatens.

"Do it, you are nothing but a servant from a poor family" Merit mocks.

"What is going on here?"

Tutankhamun along with his guards walks over to you.

"Merit insulted me and Tetisheri, she has also insulted my handmaiden, Heqet." You explain.

Yes, you exposed her... because why not?

If only the protagonists did the same to their bullies.

Tutankhamun doesn't even wait to hear Merit's explanation, before ordering the Guards to seize her.

"Guards, execute her now."

Your eyes widens in shock as the guards forces Merit on her knees as she screams in fear.

Then chop her head off with the sharp
khopesh.

Of course, you block the baby's sight by moving her to lean her head on your shoulder as the horror unfold Infront of you.

You regret speaking up.

"Oh God, you murdered her."

Tutankhamun tilted his head at your words, noticing your eyes becoming glassy at the sight of blood and the depicted head.

"No, I only served justice, my dear."
