When Power rivaled Purity, when the devil knelt before divinity, it was not from fear - but respect.
Setherion, Pharaoh of a thousand victories, became the first ruler to kneel before his own queen. Gasps echoed through the golden hall, yet his gaze never wavered.
Neferis, radiant in white and gold, was not proud of his gesture - she was worried. Her gentle hands reached out, trembling.
"My Pharaoh, please," she whispered.
But Setherion only looked up at her, dark eyes steady.
"You deserve this, my queen," he said, defying the murmurs around them. He stood up.
His black hair brushed his golden skin as he guided her to his throne. With quiet reverence, he took her bare foot into his hand and pressed a kiss upon it.
"You deserve everything," he murmured. "My respect, this kingdom, even divinity itself. You are my queen, my savior, my soul's grace - and you deserve nothing less than devotion."
