   In a ship coming from the Great kingdom of Greece headed towards the Egyptian capital Cairo.. A beautiful young lady with short brown hair and brown sad eyes dressed in A long white dress with gold fabric railed on its edges and its waist, held to her small, thin body by only one of her shoulders showing the other, with only one gold needle to hold it in place, a golden small crown with red crystals all over decorates her head making her hair and eye color come out more.
She sits in her empty, depressing, dark chamber in the under docks.. her cheeks still wet from previous tears.. her eyes are puffy and red.. although she stopped her crying but her heart still aches as thinking of a way out of her dilemma..
   "For the love of Ra, cease this nonsense and stop your weeping!!, We have talked about this more than once.. You are a Princess and you serve your country no matter the cost" The girl's mother enters the room without notice to yell at her now started to cry again daughter.. The mother sighs in tiredness then approach her daughter with now calm and reassuring sound to her voice holding her hands
"The Greek-Egyptian trade relationship haven't been at its best lately.. and this matter must be fixed for the good of Greece.. please.. this is a small sacrifice to be made" The princess gets up from her seat letting go of her mother's warm caring hands to stand in-front of the one of the windows crossing her arms yelling as tears now steam fast down her face
"And instead of sending the Pharaoh gifts or negotiate enhancing the relations with officials.. You force me to marry his son whom I don't know and never met before, making me your bargaining chip, an object with no feelings or opinions and forcing me to leave my beloved behind???!"..
Her mother loses her temper again and starts arguing
"We don't have the finances to send gifts Fitting a Pharaoh, Enchasing the trade Here and Now with Egypt is the only way to save our Kingdom from falling.. You are our only Child and You must take the throne after your father, and The Prince is also an only child and he will be busy with his own Lands.. leaving You to Rule Greece in His name, You think anyone will allow a Woman on the throne even if its her birth right??.. Not to mention your marriage will give us Great positions and qualities inside Egypt for future plans ahead.. Its been decided!, you have a bright future!, What are you crying for?, to ugly your face?!!!".the young princess now falls to her knees sopping and weeping as loud as she could feeling as powerless as she could ever be, she doesn't want the power or the position.. she only wishes to live with her loved one in peace.. But now she is to become the Queen of all Egypt with duties and formalities.. and very shortly she must be with child.. from a man she practically hates.. she thinks once about this and is struck by lightning wiping the thought of her head.. it can't be.. she can't be forced to court him.. never.. why can't her mother understand or feel her.. her fate was sealed and her future was being decided for her.. she thinks of her beloved and cries even harder knowing she will never see him again, she will spend the rest of her life with another man whom she now despises and fears, He must never care what happens to her country or her.. he must have endless numbers of women with various shapes and colors waiting to get as much as a glance of him, why won't he choose one or a thousand of them and leave her be.. he can even marry or court all of them.. why force a girl who wants nothing of him.. he must want to get his dirty hands on all.. she knows almost nothing about him but she makes assumptions with only information she has, she now keens in her heart so much hate toward him..
Her mother kneels next to her taking her in her arms
"My daughter please stop.. I hate to see you like this.. You are the most beautiful princess only worth of A Pharaoh as a husband.. remember your love and loyalty to your country and accept this" she takes her daughter's face between her hands and wipes her tears away smiling at her.. only getting a begging sad eyes from her daughter
"You know, I heard The Prince of Egypt is the most handsome man you will ever lay your eyes on ehh!!" The mother tries to cheer her daughter just a little, only She cries harder just hearing of him
"Ahh, Rumors say the Pharaoh's health are not at best.. and he is to leave our world soon, leaving his throne to his son.. You will be the Queen of all Egyptian and its neighboring kingdoms" She only cries more murmuring "P..p..please mother don't d..do t..this to me.. Please d..don't make m..me" tilting her head down more making her mother let go of her in frustration..
