The Last Dynasty {Complete}

Chapter Twenty One

Seti POV

It had been a private meeting between me and general May in my private library cleopatra had adored just like the library of Alexandria that burnt down...all the papyrus scrolls that had been saved had come to this exact chamber...we had been discussing about the Romans when he announced something very serious upon my reign, "a Roman spy was able to escape Egypt, Your majesty" he says cautiously "WHAT!"I shout angrily banging my fist against the table.

He shifts "they may come to announce war" General May says, "And I suggest immediate surrender" He adds and I stand "are you a coward?!"I shout angrily but General May shakes his head, "no your majesty" he says "then this discussion on surrender is over! As I have done to the Hittite and the Nubians If they step upon my land They will see what is coming in the battle field! We have Hittites, Nubians and My people! We will defeat them and go on to conquer their land as The great Hannibal whom had conquered most of Rome and Spain...I will find his military strength and brains to defeat those Romans...I will conquer those Romans and the rest of the world if I have to now, I want a plan to do so! I want spies everywhere for now on...If the Romans come...they will meet my sword"I hiss General May's eyes lower as he bows "yes your Majesty"he says smiling.

"Bring Grand Vizier Muntuhotep" I say silently "it's best if he brings up the plan and matter instead of you, general" I say silently, he bows and leaves before Muntuhotep steps in wearing rather unusually fancy robes..."your majesty" he says bowing to me "Muntuhotep, have you heard the news of the Romans?" I say he nods "yes your majesty" he says "me and Neferneb have come up with a plan for warfare...The Romans will of course come and give you opinions of surrender but happily and bravely you will deny it sparking warfare of course...It is wise that we fight in the Nubian desert instead of Egypt so it will not be destroyed from burning, Neferneb and A extra group of Hittite, Nubian and Egyptian plus Greek will stay behind to protect the cities but when needed they will reunite with us...we of course will start off with our normal formation that General May will lead, when our armies clash we will trap them inside a bow where every single on of them will die...no mercy...as Hannibal had once done but they may expect it so we will have a extra extraction unit that will surround any extra hidden United and each will die by the next moon" He says, I nod, "what of Octavian will he lead the battle?" I mutter "if he does he will be taken captive and executed in Mat to honor our bravery" he says "Rome will die at your feet" he says I nod and smile "good My lord All I want, tell General May I strip him of his rank and make Neferneb head of the army under me"I say Muntuhotep bows and leaves the chamber.

I take a scroll and lay it across the table, I call in Lord Rameses as I start pacing "your Majesty" he bows to me "What is my soldier count?" I say "Six thousand" he says "Largest number since more and more are coming to the Royal army after the Hittites had been defeated...it's the biggest a its been for hundreds of years" he say, "good...Because soon we will be fighting Romans" he says "and nobody can stop" he says..."general May's idiotic reason for why he let a spy escape my land had started this...but he was idiotic and so now he loses his ranking" I say "back to just a foot soldier" he mutters.

I stand still with concern "your majesty this scroll you have laid out, the suicide note of her Majesty Cleopatra" He says, "yes" I mutter "it is to find why I should show revenge...I was going to kill them for it, I will never sign for peace I will fight" I hiss.

Lord Ramses nods "yes your majesty I understand" he says, "Please, Call Asetmut here" I say silently wiping the sweat from my brow...he nods "yes your majesty" he bows "dismissed" I say silently he nods "yes your majesty " he says...I stand silently awaiting Asetmut whom I had fallen in love with...but I see her every night since she still is the chief chamber maid of Mat's chambers...I stare at ships docked in the Royal harbor each the fastest war ships capable to cross the sea...But they were being painted blue by slaves whom Lord Rameses had bought at the slave market in Mat for me.

I try to  smile as Asetmut enter and bows to me, her hair has been lying on her shoulders since she was still the maiden and she was taught to wear her hair, the Greek way...she comes to me and touches my arm..."what is the matter your majesty" she says..."General May had let a Roman spy escape the Land with information with my rule...I do not fear them but I fear that they will burn Alexandria...more badly then before" I say she hugs me from behind and looks out at the Ships with me..."I understand your point your majesty" she says..."I love you" I say silently and she smiles "I love you too your majesty" she says.

"Then why won't you accept my marriage?" I say she bites her lip, because I am not ready to marry...I am not ready for what happens in this palace thrusted upon me even if I don't want to be involved...My father had told me to stay away from you when you weren't sitting on the throne as Pharaoh but now He still tells me to, but a women can't help falling in love" she says smiling...I nod and turn to her " of course, I sometimes regret taking the throne but it was worth it...I wouldn't have met you" I say trying to forget the face I feel haunt me as I kiss her.

Naki was haunting me.
