"Pharaoh...Atem, my friend and brother..I am sorry"

I could believe what I was hearing. The words were cold to my bone.

"Who..decides this arrangement?"

"Your father did when you were children to protect egypt, and now...the contact has come to term...you'll have to marry her or there will be war"

I slammed my fist into the wall nearby.

I looked over at Evelyn. I could deny what I felt.  There was something becoming. I felt like the rug was pulled from me

"Mahad. Please do not speak of this again...how long do I have" my words breathless

"The high tide, 3 months at most.."

I nodded

"Will there be time...to meet with her father?"

Mahad shook his head "I am unsure we havent heard from him until this afternoon when he sent us word he was unable to come and the contract"

I let a long sigh.

"Thats enough...ive had much to drink, and need to think...thank you my friend"
