Chapter 8 The noble 'Amirah

After experiencing the madness of these supernatural events, I was transported to a different world—an ancient world.
Here, my identity is the daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the noble 'Amirah (princess). My name is Ankhesen. The time distortion coincided with the name he muttered, and facing the unknown made me anxious even more.
Who is that imprisoned young man? Why does he say I killed him? And how can I return to my everyday life after such a detour? Before I could gather my thoughts, someone interrupted,
"Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin. Queen Consort is urging you."
I came back to my senses, not knowing which place was reality. I adorned myself with heavy, golden accessories symbolizing power, wore a light veil, and supported the Queen Consort's hand as we ascended the platform. Akhenaten, however, sat beside us in the highest position, facing us, my mother and me.
"My beloved Ankhesen, this banquet is for you. Is there anyone you like? Let him accompany you to play!"
The Queen Consort was a gorgeous woman with a figure that embodied the golden ratio, exuding pure desire and allure as the epitome of femininity. The people attending the banquet below were all rich and influential court nobles. Their gaze carried passion and loyalty, all directed towards my mother. Their adoration and belief were all invested in this Pharaoh's woman. Looking at Akhenaten's fierce and wrinkled face, I couldn't help but think that wearing a green hat was only fitting for him. Yet he completely ignored everything before him, lovingly gazing at me.
"My dear Ankhesen, my daughter, you are the child I conceived with Aten, and your glory will be with me."
"Go now! Your choice will determine the future of Egypt!"
He took me and made me walk forward, seemingly to let me have a great time at the banquet. During the feudal period, Kings naturally had various lovers. His sons mingled in the entire feast, socializing and making toasts. Behind the loving face of the Pharaoh were cold and eagle-like eyes. While seemingly speaking words of concern, he wanted me to choose someone from the banquet as a playmate. I did not know the Pharaoh's true intentions, so to avoid drawing attention, I had no choice but to accept. My beautiful mother, oblivious to the lurking beast behind her, opened his dull green eyes wide, wanting to take away everything that pleased her.
Revenge.
