Heliopolis, BC.

Temple night.

This is the eleventh year of Ramses II's reign.

The dark sky is dragging the remnant starlight, and the pharaoh stands on the temple corridor &\#xecae‌.

The oil lamp had already been extinguished, and a scepter card in his palm burned spontaneously without fire. From the edge to the center, it gradually swallowed the hook and flail pattern, leaving only a handful of black ash.

"Wang&\#xeada‌!"

The priests found the clues of the shadow and were shocked, "Why are you here?"

During the day, the king &\#xeada‌ was patrolling the Nile with Memphis Visir, priests of Amon, and a group of noble officials. The river suddenly rose, followed by the king&\# xeada‌ is missing.

Everyone dared not say anything, and under Visier's orders, they secretly searched for the trace of the king &\#xeada‌.

"Had a nightmare."

The Egyptian pharaoh with black hair and golden eyes talked to himself.

"No, &\#xeb28‌ Xu that is a beautiful dream."

How long has he not seen his sister?

Five years.

From the "future" back to the "present", my brother has spent five years alone in the stars, the blue crown of the war&\#xeada‌ the glorious daylight&\#xeb28&zwnj ; Can't wake up the blazing in my heart.

After many days of separation, when will you come back?

Will...&\#xeb28‌ won't come back?

Ramses clenched the paper dust in his palm.

Afterwards, he suppressed all his emotions and dealt with the priest's worries nonchalantly.

That night, Ramses had another nightmare.

In his dream was a thick scarlet fog. He stepped on the thorns barefoot, and suddenly greeted a woman wearing vulture feathers. Her appearance was obscured by the shadows, and she was vaguely wearing a mask with a blue pointed beak.

The sharp blue beak opened suddenly and rushed at him fiercely.

The black-haired pharaoh raised the golden dagger, and with a tear, he split the woman in half. The vulture mask fell off, revealing a beautiful blood-stained face, slender eyebrows, and lips glowing red like sunset.

She is like &\#xe152‌ not &\#xe152‌, like crying but not crying.

With blood on his fingertips, he made painful and burning marks on his face.

"……sister!"

Ramses woke up with breathlessness, cold sweat soaking through his back.

Regarding the nightmare of the Pharaoh, the temple priests were helpless and searched for a cure.

The Prime Minister of Thebes Tutaipu offered his solution, "The new high priest of Luxor Temple, Master Haitaitis, she has a beautiful appearance and is good at listening to oracles, Wang&\# xeada‌ it’s better to call her into the palace.” The Prime Minister said, considering, “In preparation for this Summer Festival, Master Haitaitis has newly compiled a sacrificial dance. The priests wash their hearts and call it God’s Music Festival."

The prime minister's eyes flickered slightly.

"...Maybe it can alleviate Wang&\#xeada‌'s nightmares for years."

Sacrificial dance?

In various festivals, Ramses has seen many sacrificial dances, and the only thing that impressed him was the dance of light by Sister Wang.

The waist is white, and the swirling scarlet skirt is like a lotus in bloom.

He doesn't like it very much.

No deity can make his sister Wang pray so humble and lowered.

"Tutaipu, you can arrange it."

Ramses is not interested, but as a pharaoh, he needs to &\#xe86f‌ to show his concern for the grand festival that countless people are looking forward to.

When the stars were shining brightly, the chief priestess Haitaitis, who had the title of "God's Wife", came to Pharaoh's palace.

He has long lived in the Queen's House, where a quiet blue lotus grows.

Haitai Tisi lifted her eyelashes lightly, and took a peek at Pharaoh as she bowed.

The pharaoh in his youth was innocent and tender, always attached to his Wang sister, like a non-aggressive puppy, letting people put down their guard.

At that time, the prince and princesses were still young and studied together in the temple.

She followed the high priest, quietly observing the group of future rulers.

Prince Moss is humorous and good at conversation. He is the favorite successor of the king &\#xeada‌.

And Princess Tiya has a long-standing reputation, with the name of a holy princess, and her subjects are all obedient. People praise her and Prince Moss as inseparable "twin stars". Who would have thought that the one who finally unified &\#xeada‌ Lower Egypt and was crowned with a brilliant double crown was the second son Ramses II, who was not optimistic about the subjects.

"Son of God", "East Coast Blesser", "Glory of War", this young man with a bronze skin was deified into a symbol.

Even faith.

He is the only surrender ruler on the east and west banks of the Nile.

When the young pharaoh was furious for unknown reasons and went to Kadeishi, she was also among the priests to bless the army triumphantly. At that time, the king wore a golden snake crown, from his eyes to his bones, there was a sharp blood.

The priestesses fell in love for this.

But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer priestesses in temples on the east bank of the Nile.

The bright red faith in the Golden Ox Temple was wiped out by the mighty pharaoh, and there were no girls who were victimized by &\#xeb28&zwnj. At the same time, the selection standards for priestesses are getting higher and higher. They must know language, rituals, divination, music, dance, etc., and they must be meticulous and strict. Especially the priestess of Luxor Temple is one of the best. .

People cautiously speculated on Pharaoh's intentions, and finally came to the conclusion that their Egyptian kings were overly thinking about their wives and tried to convey his thoughts through "God's prayer."

The priestess has always been regarded as the "Goddess Hathor", the oracle of the gods, and was naturally valued by the pharaoh. &\#xeb28‌ Therefore, Haitai Tisi relied on her own ability and connections, &\#xec4c‌ became the chief priestess at the age of 16.

It is worth mentioning that she was the same age as Pharaoh.

This discovery has made Haitaitis happy to this day.

"Hetaitis, I heard that you prepared a sacrificial dance for the Summer Festival."

Pharaoh's golden pupil looked mysterious and majestic in the candlelight.

"Yes it is."

Haitaitis suppressed the excitement in her heart, "please let Haitaitis offer it to you."

He nodded loosely, and a pair of lapis lazuli scarab earrings fell between his thick, curly black hair, pure and gorgeous in color.

Haitaitis shook her instrument, dancing gracefully.

The music plays.

Ramses' arm moved slightly, and the golden snake was awakened from it, &\#xe7d8‌ seemed to be a little dissatisfied with vomiting blood letters, and his master grabbed the snake's head.

&\#xe7d8‌ had to "spring sleep".

I don't know when the dancing stopped, and a snow-white pleated waistcoat was piled on the ground, and the plump and moving body of the priestess was painted &\#xeada‌ with a beautiful yellowish luster.

Ramses had no expression on his face, just like looking at the mummy in the pyramid.

"Hetaitis, the **** made you defile my eyes?"

Haitai Tisi flinched, and then stabilized &\#xeaea‌ her mind, her voice was clear and firm &\#xeaea‌, "Yes, it is the will of God. Wang & ;amp;\#xeada‌, your nightmares are constant, and it is also a divine punishment-Queen Nefertari has long passed away, but you are indulged in it..."

Ramses asked, "Even if I indulge in it, can I delay political affairs?"

Haitaitis was speechless for a moment.

No.

During the Pharaoh's rule, the regime was stable and deterred inside and outside, and the Noms could do everything.

The Pharaoh's voice was disgusting, "Hetaitis, I let you dance, not dedication."

Haitai Tisi maintained her shaky dignity, pretending to be &\#xeaea‌, repeatedly emphasizing that it was the will of God. Haitaitis believes that the pharaoh has extraordinary respect for the priestess, and he also believes in the female god! Under the favor of the Pharaoh, even if the priestess makes a mistake, &\#xeb28‌ will not be severely punished.

It is for this reason that Haitaitis combined official business and selfishness to make a dance plan tonight.

Even if the dead queen cannot be replaced, she still firmly occupies the second position in the heart of the pharaoh, being the second &\#xecae‌ shadow of Egypt.

Haitaitis has a strong sense of identification with her looks and charm.

"God's will?"

Pharaoh sneered.

Hetaitis felt subtly uneasy.

Pharaoh played with the fangs of the poisonous snake, "If it weren't for my sister, you still &\#xe0d6‌ thought--"

"I am willing to submit to gods and priests?"

&\#xe0d6‌ Unfortunately, my belief in Ramses II is unique. Moreover, my love will never overflow.

Whoever dares to offend the pharaoh’s **** must &\#xeaea‌&\#xe86f‌ pay the price.

On the second day, Tutaipu, the Prime Minister of Thebes, was deposed, and the chief priestess was also unable to escape the blame, falsely preaching the oracle, offending the queen's position, and sentenced to exile.

The officials shuddered and gave up all kinds of careful thoughts.

During the year of Pharaoh's truce, there were few killings. They naively thought that Pharaoh had become kind and generous!

All over the country, who doesn't know that the queen is the heart of Pharaoh?

Since her disappearance, Pharaoh could not sleep day and night, unable to escape the shadow of nightmares.

Everyone said that the queen died in danger, but Pharaoh did not believe it.

The nobles couldn’t help being afraid. Master Tutaipu seemed to be gentle, and was actually an ambitious person. She inspired the chief priestess of Luxor Temple to be the woman of the king &\#xeada‌, go further Take control of government orders.

What a silly approach!

Fortunately, they did not follow him blindly!

If it weren't for the coming of Shamore, for fear of tainting the eyes and ears of the gods, this &\#xe304‌ person would have flown to Duat in the fire to accept the judgment of the gods!

The ministers acted peacefully and did not dare to touch Pharaoh's bottom line again.

Ramses finished dealing with the prime minister and Hetaitis, and turned his head to lead "Sock" and "Kaman" to the oasis hunting land.

"Sok" is a golden lion who grew up with him and followed him on the march. This year, he is twenty&\#xe304‌ years old. I saw this big guy shaking his mane, slow Tun Tun walked across the field, watching the little black panthers running around in front of him with elder love.

The little panthers' father "Kaman" is lazily holding his head up and basking in the sun.

As a witness to the wedding of Ramses and his beloved Sister Wang, Kaman obviously mixed up quite well, presenting a state of vitality from body to spirit. But &\#xe7d8‌ is an unreliable father, and the kid fell into the ditch, &\#xe7d8‌ won’t help& \#xeb28‌Forget it, but also poked up his butt, and pulled a pile of dirt down with his paws, making the little boy ashamed.

Ramses fell into memory.

When little Kaman was almost one year old, he was still a little black panther who could only hum.

The first time he appeared in front of the people, he was lying in the arms of his sister and bride. The little guy slept for as long as the chariot went.

It has been sixteen years since the unforgettable wedding. &\#xeb28‌.

Kaman had seven or eight litters of cubs with another beautiful and fierce female leopard, and became a father and grandfather. On the contrary, Sock, &\#xe7d8‌ is obsessed with war and does not want to reproduce, and is still alone today, raising Kaman's child as his own grandson. The young Kaman was very unconvinced about this, grinning at Suok, and after being cleaned up by the latter, he became depressed and became a "good son".

Even the beast has found a companion.

Ramses laughed at himself &\#xe152‌, set aside the thorns and stepped on.

The sun is strong and the leaves are shaking.

Big and small beasts run wild in the forest.

&\#xeb28‌ Xu is a natural king of aura, avoiding everything, Ramses seldom can see the prey, the whole &\#xeada‌ noon Five of his arrows have not been shot yet.

"Wang&\#xeada‌, you have been hunting for a long time." The minister accompanying him softly suggested, "It is better to rest first."

Ramses is full of energy, and he waved his hand, "You stay where you are."

He warned &\#xecae‌, "Don't follow."

A group of people hypocritical to please him, it is better for him to hunt himself.

The ministers were embarrassed and did not dare to disobey Pharaoh's orders.

Pharaoh always said no &\#xe304‌.

"Shushasha—"

Ramses found a black sheep, &\#xe7d8‌ agilely over the rock. With his sense of smell activated, Kaman was like a &\#xecae‌ black lightning, galloping and chasing, while the cubs stumbled and ran behind.

Ramses put down his bow and arrow and gave the opportunity to show to his father who wanted to show off.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Kaman to come back dejectedly, his teeth tugging at his waist and making a whimper.

"After losing the prey, I am ashamed to act like a baby."

Ramses said coldly, "There is no dinner tonight."

Kaman curled his tail, and the amber eyes resembling the owner showed aggrieved color. The lion Sock raised his paw, aimed at Kaman's skull, and slapped it down.

——Useless Kaman, can't even catch a sheep, &\#xe0d6‌ lose the face of our royal family! You failed to be a leopard!

Kaman drooped his ears.

During the break, Sock was in charge of guarding, and a group of cubs climbed on top of Ramses.

Kaman was digging the roots like a vent.

Ramses slept lightly against the tree trunk.

"sister……"

In his dream, he was a little disturbed calling.

The cheeks are slightly cool.

...Is it wind? Why do I feel so familiar?

Ramses gradually loosened his brows and fell into a deeper dream.

"Roar!"

"Aw!"

"Ooooooooo!"

The sounds of various chaotic beasts awakened him.

Ramses opened his eyes suddenly and drew the short sword beside him.

"Boom—"

The next moment the short sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His soul trembled.

Surrounded by golden lions, big and small black panthers, are the people he thinks about day and night.

Although she was standing with her back to him, her whole body was wrapped like a black mummy.

"……sister!"

Ramses trembled, his eyes flushed instantly.

"……I'm not."

The other party lowered his voice, "Warrior, I'm just a passing traveler, can you let your pet——"

Pharaoh's chest blocked her retreat.

"Do you still want to lie to me?!" He cried and laughed, his voice hoarse, "Even if you were cursed by the sun **** for abandoning your brother and melted into water, you can be recognized by &\#xeb28‌ Your breath."

Lin Lang: "..."

This brat, &\#xeada‌ threatens her when he comes!

Several little black panthers circled around Linlang, and some poked their heads out of curiosity, and bit her bare toes outside the sandals.

It doesn't hurt, it's itchy.

The younger brother aroused his possessiveness because of this small gesture. He bent down and picked up Lin Lang with ease. The turquoise collar in front of the bronze chest made her skin aching slightly.

She heard an extremely warm heartbeat.

"Today is really a white day."

It was so beautiful that he couldn't believe it.

The Egyptian Pharaoh is pleased to announce, "I &\#xe86f‌ have a grand and unforgettable banquet to celebrate your return!"

Black Panther Kaman was infected with his master's emotions and ran around him.

Of course, Pharaoh did not forget his heroes.

"Kaman, remember your first class work, you will have an extra meal in the next month!"

Kaman screamed.

Lin Lang pressed his chest and shook his head slightly.

"No, I can't show up, you just treat me as dead."

Ramses stiffened and his blood froze in an instant.

He couldn't accept this statement, holding back the blue veins in his neck, trying to restrain his turbulent emotions, so as not to hurt people, "You, do you still want to leave me?"

"I just came to fulfill my promise and see you for the last time."

The younger brother Pharaoh broke out instantly.

"What's the last side?! Every time, every time I follow you, you always judge my destiny willfully and selfishly. When I was young, I didn't want your favor, so sad that I dare not think about it. Now I follow your instructions. , Governing the country, loving the people, my brother is here sincerely waiting for you to return, but you told me this is the last side?"

Long ago, on the day of Sister Wang’s birthday, he personally carved a carnelian jewelry box. He and Sister Wang stood on both sides of Rashen, accompanied by the gods, and never separated.

But from that day on, little Ramses clearly realized that God never existed. Otherwise, why couldn't he hear his prayers? Why does Sister Wang's eyes always follow her brother?

Why... I never get your caress?

I am obviously no worse than my grandfather, father, and brother.

"You are an irresponsible bastard!" My brother flushed with anger.

Lin Lang raised her eyebrows, the little wolf cub scolded fiercely.

And the next moment, the younger brother kissed her beggingly on the cheek again, expressing his deep and irresistible love.

"You promised me, you will go home with me, back to Egypt, back to Thebes...Are you tired of the unchanging scenery of Thebes? Wouldn't your brother build a new capital for you? There are beautiful balconies, You can look into the distance, the street &\#xecae‌ is paved with lapis lazuli, shining in the sun, and my brother will open up a port, &\#xe7d8‌ will bring you all kinds of Gems, spices, knowledge from various countries..."

Ramses lowered his head, whimpering like a puppy.

"I am more loyal to you than the gods. Promise brother, don't leave, okay?"

Lin Lang deliberately said, "You don't have to go, but you have to promise me two conditions."

My brother's eyes are all red, "You said."

Lin Lang pointed to the "heritor" who intercepted her just now, and avenged her with a smile, "Stew &\#xe7d8‌."

Kaman was so scared that his fur went straight up, &\#xe7d8‌ hurriedly ran to his master for a bite.

The host looked at &\#xe7d8‌ quietly.

"Kaman, get enough tonight."

Now Kaman was crying.

Lin Lang pinched a black panther's ear, "I lied to you."

Kaman escaped, and started rubbing Linlang's ankles, expressing infinite closeness.

Ramses was upset again, "Simmer it."

Kaman: "..."

It's hard to be a beast.

The younger brother bent his neck down and asked carefully.

"Then...you go back with me?"

"Can I refuse?"

The younger brother showed a sly &\#xe152‌ content.

"Unfortunately, because you are suspected of defrauding the love of the pharaoh, the pharaoh will dismiss all your complaints before you repent."

Spring is here and flowers are flooding.

The east bank of the Nile is about to usher in a new celebration.

This is the twenty-seventh summer festival that I have spent with you.

Ramses looked at Sister Wang’s eyelashes, fiddled with it, and the other party rolled over, and his feet impatiently pressed on his knees &\#xeada‌

"call."

He blew out the candlelight, leaving only the stars in the room.

Thanks to you, my brother is no longer favored by the **** of nightmares. If you sleep more gracefully and don't step on your brother's face to dream, then brother is very grateful.
