The Last Dynasty {Complete}

Chapter eight

The waiting is fierce on my head as I await the king of Kush at my feet...everyday when I greet my new born son in the morning I am soon hit by a impatient anger...I sit on my throne in silence awaiting if General May will come to Egypt with the king of Kush in his captivity...I sigh Naki tries to calm of my stress every passing moon but if doesn't seem to work.

I smooth my sons tiny kilt as he playfully laughs and clutches my finger in his tiny hand..."your majesty" I look up at Muntuhotep "yes?" I mutter..."General May has arrived with the king of Kush" he says I smile and hand Tuthmose to his wet nurse who bows to me and disappears down the hall...servants put the double crown of upper and lower upon my head...general May enters with two men holding onto the king of Kush's two slim arms behind him..."your majesty lord of upper and lower you have come to see your first triumph" he says with pride bowing to me on one knee "let me see this young man" I hiss...general may moves out of way and the king Kush is put at my feet...he is young...about the age of twenty nine while his son looked of sixteen...he bows to me as soon as he is pushed down to his knees...he was stripped from all gold but a orange kilt...he looks beaten "p-pharaoh of upper and lower forgive me for my crimes against your empire...I mourn for my lost son I am weak I will give you Kush...just please let me live" he says " I will put another man in your position" I hiss...the king of Kush presses his face deeper into the dirt " kill me if it pleases you take my women take my daughters take anything you desire put please oh please give my son a burial" he says.

I stare "he'll make a great servant to the royal vizier" general May hissed "no" I say staring at him "take him away put him in a prison let him rot in there...the gods agree with my choice" I say silently "yes your majesty" General may mutters "take him away" I say General may snaps at the two guard and orders them to take the king of Kush away.

"Who will take his place?" General May mutters to me...my Royal adviser Metnut scoffs " no man...Kush will be added to the empire oh course it is the best place...soon we will go for the Persians then the Libyan then the dangerous Hittites then we'll conquer Rome become the most powerful empire the world has ever seen like Cleopatra had once dreamed of" Metnut says..."yes...very good idea...we'll be the greatest empire this world would ever see" I say proudly.
