The Last Dynasty {Complete}

Chapter Twenty Seven

(Two years later )

It had been a life or Death discussion, my court had been speaking about how we were winning yet the Roman's wouldn't stop invading different city until my brother And his army take them down...I had begun to doubt how wise the Roman's are, but the discussion had been hard on my head as my lord and general's discuss the Benefits and disadvantages of our armies...yet we were still packed with soldiers we had begun to get one hundred soldiers every day from the land of the Hittite and Egypt with Nubian still at had, I had clenched my hand into a hard fist as I lifted my eyes from the plate in front of me... Soon the words of surrender has come to mind and I had flipped the Dais table in the feast hall...the banquet had fell silent and all eyes were upon me...Servants scramble to clean the mess,"I will never Surrender! Now I will easily execute you if another word of this surrender comes along" I hiss angrily walking away servants and guards following me.

I enter my chamber, and instantly lean against a chair attempting to control my temper that I had lost in the fit of anger...that had brewed upon my Ba...I groan angrily and a servant offers me Opium but I deny him angrily and he walks away, Wine is brought to me and I drink it and my anger is soothed instantly. I sigh and calm myself...I begin to rant about how idiotic my court was to my loyal servant Meritbaset whom listens well to me and responses as if I were not pharaoh and back at my normal life.

"Your majesty" a young teenage servants walks in..."Lady Asetmut desires to see you with your child" he says I nod "Bring them in" I say calming down to see my daughter that I hadn't seen for two straight years ever since I saw her...I watch as the doors open...she walks in holding our love child that hadn't been recognized as my true daughter but is still a bastard to my reign...since Asetmut Denys my wedding proposals and I can't even force her into it...she comes to me and our small little girl she was beautiful with My dark hair instead of Asetmut's blonde curls that are hidden away under a wig since she works in court...but her eyes are blue like Asetmut's a look destine to make any man lose their breath when she grows older...I kiss her brow making her laugh..."A beautiful girl" I say "what is her name?" I ask silently "Alexandria, after the great city" she says brushing one of Alexandria's curls from cheek...I smile and take her from Asetmut's arms lifting her into the air making her giggle as I spin"I shall protect you forever my beautiful daughter, You will be untouchable...a goddess that will be worshipped in temples built across the land! You shall be put in history as the most famous girl in the world" I shout as I level our eyes and stop spinning she lunges and Hugs me tightly around my neck...she was wise yet still at a young age.

I put her In her mothers arms and she is taken away from my sight when My lords rush in without my permission...all speaking of fire, I groan confused and silence them by throwing my golden goblet to the floor "Silence!" I shout and they bow "yes your majesty" they all fall to the floor pressing their noses to the floor..."now what happens and what of this talk of fire?" I hiss and they begin to explain Alexandria had been put a blaze again and my brother the Hittite king was wounded..."I groan and turn my head as sigh...frustrated and feeling murderous inside...I'm going back to the battle field...I'm going to kill them...."how many troops are left "two thousand and counting" One of my general's say..."good we're going to war, I am tired of those Roman's and I will kill them for interrupting my reign!" I shout as I march out into the hall, Guards follow me and with hard eyes I order for my beautiful White Hittite stallion gifted to me by Pepi... And continue down the corridor ordering messenger and Servants as I pass...the palace is in a sudden state of alert, servants are running throughout the palace and guards begin to pack the halls, as I arrive to Stefmera's chambers, my soldiers join her owns and I enter announced by her maid and I enter...she had been praying to Amun, Horus and Isis telling from the three types of Incenses filling the room...I put my ringed hands behind my back and lift my chin.

"I'll be off to war the next morning, I'll be ending this war and saving Egypt from those Roman's it's been years, I must end it, my treasury and so does Pepi's empties every morning, I must end this put my people to peace...I grow old and so does 'Augustus' we tried to make peace, even threatening me to have a child with a Roman women, How could I disgrace my crown in such way" I hiss, "Egypt will be restored and my name nor my dynasty will end, Egypt will live" I hiss.

Her eyes open from prayer and she bows to me, clearly holding back tears since I've been back for only one day..."I understand your majesty...I understand your cause for this" she says she stands and kisses me, "May the gods bless you and may you succeed" she says she kneels back down to her cushion resting on the floor and begins a muttered prayer.

As I step out I sigh and walk down the hall to the courtyard where my white stallions awaits I climb on and snap the reins and we take off towards the Nile, Guards following me on their own stallions as we trot up River..."we were going to the temple of Amun" I say silently my diadem shining in the moonlight.

"I will pray till midnight"
