The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Even at the moment when it seems that the "best friend" will be angered away with a few words, the head still feels a sharp pain like being trampled on.

Ramses still couldn't understand why he offended Tahir again.

It seemed that there was still an unextinguished flame burning in his chest, and it was hot for a while, and he needed to calm down for a while, so that the inexplicably excited emotions could be calmed down.

The reason why he was so excited was probably because he felt that he had finally figured out the problem that had plagued him for a long time. Apart from this, there was no other answer at all.

Ramses thought to himself, his feelings for Tahir were unknowingly so strange that it was hard for him to say clearly now.

Is the best friend and the closest partner.

It is the existence that both of them trust the most, the tacit understanding has long been buried, and it has become an endless line that closely links the two of them together.

I don't know why, just being "friends", I always feel that something is missing, and my heart is constantly rippling, as if there is a greedy little beast hiding in the depths, clamoring unwillingly.

"Master Mejed must have jumped up again just now—hissing hurts so much, why is it stepping on me again!"

After touching the top of his head that was still in pain, he touched the bag that was kicked out, and Ramses' handsome face couldn't help changing color, feeling that he was really wronged.

In the past, they used to go to a secret base that no one knew about, and they could chat all night long.

Even if you don’t chat, Tahir sits at the only wooden table in the house and reads a book, and Ramses sits on the wooden bed that creaks as soon as he sleeps, and rests his chin to watch the serious profile of the blond boy under the lamp. .

The ever-warm lights became a veil that could soften all the cold outlines, making the scenery that the prince saw through this veil warmer, no matter how you looked at it, you would never feel bored.

However, this time, Tahir left early before saying a few words to him. Probably only Ramses will stay here tonight.

In fact, he can also leave. After all, the stone house that was slightly repaired by Tahir's "abuse of power" has limited conditions, and the furnishings inside are not elaborate.

Going back to the palace now, there is no need to wait until dawn to avoid people and walk quietly.

But Ramses' mood was erratic and irritable, so he just made do with it tonight and stayed.

Anyway, he lay on the bed, opened his eyes and stared straight at the darkness above, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"..."

"He's really angry."

"Why? Because I said I wanted him to be my brother? But, what's wrong with that, there is something closer than 'friends', besides family, what else..."

——What identity could be more intimate than "family"?

Ramses crossed his palms and put them under his head.

The index finger that was placed at the bottom couldn't help tapping, as if doing so would smooth out his completely lost thoughts.

It's still the same, the answer is very close to him, but from a certain point of view, this "near" is basically the same as being thousands of miles away.

Moreover, Tahir did not sit behind the table next to him and read a book tonight. He was only accompanied by the eagle jumping motionless on the shelf.

Ramses suddenly felt dull, and the place that was full of irritability suddenly became empty.

Forced to lie down in a lonely and deserted stone house for a night, the prince jumped up before dawn, and went straight to the palace faster than his beloved pet flying in the sky.

Yes, after a night of hard contemplation, His Highness the witty Prince finally found a new breakthrough——

Although in terms of actual effect, it is better for him not to "breakthrough".

But for Ramses, who has suffered repeated setbacks, this progress is very important, and it is worth his effort.

This time, the person who was found as the target of interception was finally not Moses who was still moved by the "friendship" between his righteous brother and the high priest.

Princess Tuya saw her son at dawn for the first time.

Ramses has grown up, and the prince who has his own ideas for a long time has hardly talked with his mother and concubine since he was five years old, and he rarely talks about his troubles.

Therefore, after hearing Ramses' intention of coming, the princess's first reaction was shock - followed by dumbfounding.

"Rameses, do you think that Tahir actually wanted to get a real relative, but because of scruples in his heart, he rejected your proposal?"

The concubine felt that this son might be stupid, no, it should be that he wasn't sharp enough when he should be, and he didn't understand the point of the matter at all.

"Yeah, otherwise what could be the reason." Ramses really didn't think there was a problem with his guess.

He found himself in front of his mother and concubine only after careful consideration.

Although in this matter, Ramses always deviates from the direction in various ways and cannot grasp the truth, but there is one point that he discovered early, and he is quite sure.

When the two first met each other not long ago, the little Ramses and the little Tahir were sitting on the lawn, and they accidentally talked about a topic.

Ramses Jr. said that although Tahir Jr. is the high priest, the high priest doesn't just have to stay in the temple, he can do something he likes.

"Tahir, when you have a chance in the future, are you going to do something outside?"

What little Ramses thought was that Senedi was going to do business outside quietly, and everyone knew about it.Tahir looked like an idiot who was too honest to plan for himself, no, he had to be reminded.

What Tahir Jr. said at the time specifically, cannot be fully recounted now.

But Ramses remembered that the blond boy had a strange expression on his immature face when he heard his question without any other meaning.

The little Ramses, who was not experienced enough, could only comment on it as "strange". If it were replaced by him who has grown up now, he would be able to tell at a glance that the expression contained a deep sense of loneliness and loss.

right.

Little Tahir should not have said anything.

Ramses remembered it, and the blond boy sitting beside him cast his gaze towards the empty front, and said after a long while:

"I want to go back... No, it would be nice if I could go out and look around."

"Where are you going back? Hey? You did say that you wanted to go back just now, didn't you hear me wrong?"

"Well, you heard wrong."

In fact, I did not hear wrong.

Little Ramses memorized every word that he never missed that day, together with the expression that caught his eyes.

He didn't know why he cared so much at first, but then he did.It should be that the "loneliness" that Tahir showed at that time was so touching that he couldn't help it.

Ramses has never felt definite loneliness, and his greatest worries are limited to the conflict between family affection and unexpected future.

Ramses knew about Tahir's origin, but it would be impossible to fully understand the state of mind of a boy who was sent away by his family at a very young age...

However, he has been trying to understand thoroughly.

"Even though Tahir is the number one prophet, he has a high status and the respect of others, it seems that he has everything..."

Ramses said to the princess: "Mother, you and my father both know that Tahir is my most important friend. I used to hope that he would be recognized and respected by everyone, but now, I suddenly Realizing that it’s not enough.”

"I hope he can be happier than before he didn't get these things. No, it should be said that he needs to get what he really wants."

"Then what do you think Tahir really wants? Is it the 'relatives' you just mentioned?" the princess asked.

"Yes—it should be?" Ramses was convinced at first, but under his mother's gentle and wise eyes, he vented his confidence for no reason.

"Although these years he occasionally left the temple by himself to wander around the city, but I heard from Moses that he basically wouldn't stay long, and he didn't go far... It's not right, he doesn't really want to go to the temple Do you want to take a look elsewhere? And, the place I want to go back to, I'm guessing, does it refer to—"

——his former home.

Ramses didn't say the last few words, because before that, his heart couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable for no reason.

Tahir certainly has a "home" outside.

In fact, in many cases, being a priest is more like a main job, and there is no need to completely cut off contact with the outside world. Senedi, who also serves as Vihir in addition to being a priest, is a ready-made example.

After leaving the temple, priests often have their own private lives, and naturally they cannot leave their original families before becoming priests.

After all, those who work in the temple are generally either rich or noble, and the power of the family is also one of the indispensable factors for the priests to enjoy their status.

Tahir's father, a nobleman named Ninetiel, is of course fine now.

Not only was it fine, just the year before last, Ninetiel and his last wife had a newborn daughter.

The son of his ex-wife who was randomly sent to the temple more than ten years ago became the high priest of the Karnak Temple by accident, and he climbed to a position that countless people can only look up to. Knowing that Ninetiel All the people are envious of this lucky little nobleman, and they can't help being jealous.

That is the high priest, if he is thrown into the temple, he looks like a low-level priest who can never be found again. Such a person can bring great glory to the family, not to mention the benefits he gets.

Ninetiel himself is also very honored. As long as he has the opportunity, he will tell others that his outstanding eldest son has shown a difference since he was a child. This made him make up his mind to send him to the temple. Hear the voice of the gods.

The high priest's stepmother and half-brothers and sisters seem to have the same attitude. They never mention the disgust they had back then, and all they say are good things that can be imagined.

However, there is one detail that no one who knows a little about this family will ignore.

That is, from the day the high priest became the high priest—even earlier, he has never returned to that "home".

The news about his biological father and stepmother never seemed to reach the ears of this noble man, and the high priest never mentioned to anyone the family he had lived in for five years.

Only Ramses.

From the clues he got along with Tahir, he guessed more details and remembered them to this day.

"It's impossible for Tahir to miss the family that treated him badly."

As Ramses spoke sonorously like this, at the same time, his mind suddenly drifted again, as if at a certain moment he saw the back of the blond young man who was always walking alone most of the time.

Let's just put it that way.

Since I can't figure out what is the reason for "hoping to get closer and closer to him", then I simply skip these entanglements and directly state the most simple and clear thoughts at the moment.

"What I said to him is not just words. I thought about it a long time ago. I want to give him a real family."

Ramses really said it so bluntly.

The princess was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to confirm whether Ramses was joking, but it turned out that her child was definitely not whimsical when making any decisions.

The indelible "distance" with Tahir is something that Ramses has been obsessed with since he discovered it.

Brothers, family—everything is closer than "friends."

If you are a family member, you will have the confidence to stand up for what you cannot do as a friend.

"Rameses, you..."

The princess suddenly woke up.

About a few years ago, she heard something about Ramses from her husband.

Pharaoh told her that the relationship between Ramses and the high priest was so good that he couldn't help but marvel.

protection, huh?

Thinking of this, the princess didn't know what to say for a while.

At first glance, Ramses is just sticking to the promise he made when he was young, but he is too enthusiastic and active...

That's all, they are still children, with deep feelings, so what's wrong with them.

"You came to find me today because you want me to adopt Tahir as an adopted son?"

Although she understood Ramses' desire to protect his friends, the princess guessed his intentions, and felt that if such a plan was true, there was obviously something wrong with it.

Tahir's biological father is still there, even if it is a princess, it is not easy to recognize a adopted son beyond his biological father, not to mention that Tahir's identity is different, and there is an additional layer of concerns.

When the princess was thinking about how to persuade Ramses, her clever son raised his eyebrows first, and then acted very surprised: "How come, although I thought about it ten years ago, I rejected it immediately .”

princess:"……"

——What, so you already figured it out ten years ago?

Ramses, who made it clear that he had "premeditated", shunned the maids in the palace and sat in front of the princess. He looked like a handsome and handsome prince, and no one would dislike him.

Well, it would be better if he talked less.

"Mother Concubine, I want to know—well, what can I do to make a person with Tahir's personality feel the warmth of being cared by his family? You know, he is too difficult to coax, and he can find some The law of why he gets angry is good now, if you want to see that he is angry, you have to observe carefully..."

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

princess:"……"

Although I feel a little sorry for my son for saying this, but at this time, the princess really doesn't want to pay attention to this noisy son.

It's just that Ramses, who is full of energy, and Tahir, who is calm and steady.

The feeling that these two young people give others is that they really complement each other, as if they are destined to blend together.

"...cough, the concubine mother will give you a suggestion, Ramses."

"Ah."

"Don't hesitate to say what you said to me and your brother-in-law, and don't say it with reservations to those who you think need your protection."

The princess didn't ask Ramses why this persistence came from, but just cast a kind look at the young Chaoyang in front of her: "You don't understand your own mood, and you feel that you can't see through his thoughts, then go Let's communicate face to face. If there is a misunderstanding, you can solve it."

Ramses opened his mouth, but he didn't expect his subconscious choice of avoidance to be pointed out by the princess: "But—"

"Just now, who was the man who swore to protect his friends and relatives?"

The princess smiled: "Rameses, avoiding the problem will never solve the problem. You want to do something for him, but you are not even sure whether he wants it or not?"

"..."

The young man was suddenly stuck in the throat by the voice that he could not speak in the future, and he was speechless.

long after.

"........."

"Even if I ask, he won't tell me."

*****

What needs to be emphasized first is that-

It was an accident.

Yes.

Just like the confused Ramses, he can find Moses and talk to Princess Tuya. Tahir, who was forcibly disturbed by Ramses, can also find a place to relieve his boredom...

Ah, sorry.

Except for talking to Mr. Mejed to himself, it's all over!Complete!With nowhere to confide in, the dignified high priest is actually such a "failed" and "solitary" person.

It doesn't matter.

Tahir didn't care at all.

After all, no matter how much time has passed and how much has changed, his arrogant and indifferent nature will not change.

Most of his thoughts are hidden in the bottom of his heart, covered tightly, and he is good at his own skills in ice sculpture, and he can't show any flaws on the surface.

That's right.

It is impossible for the proud high priest to show his flaws, let alone do stupid actions that he would never do in the past because he was full of confusion and could not relax——

In the end, who knew that Mr. Mejed, who had been working in the Shenming brand tree hole for more than ten years, would be caught off guard and strike!

That's the way it is.

When Tahir was annoyed for another "stupid" behavior by Ramses for no reason, and panicked for no reason, he left in a hurry and returned to his residence.

He returned to sit at the front of the table, and without any accidents, he couldn't calm down. He held his forehead and sat quietly for a while, then wanted to hug Lord Mejed, and habitually poured out to the gods...

Tahir (suddenly): "?!"

and many more.

Lord Mejed!

Lord Mejed, who always sat down solemnly after receiving the tribute, made an abnormal move that surprised Tahir for the first time.

I saw that the white fluffy god sat down, but the next second he fell back straight and opened his eyes—— fell asleep.

No, it should be said that his acting skills are not very good, but he pretends to be asleep with a tough attitude.

Make it clear that you can't hear, you don't know, you don't cooperate, you pretend to sleep...

"..."

Taher looked at it, and his expression, which was not shaken by Ramses' grasp, looked extremely fragile at this moment, as if he had been hit by a big blow!

"May...Master Mejed..."

The flawless cold hard shell seemed to crack without breaking a sweat!

For the first time Lord Mejed didn't want to listen to him.

It pretended to be asleep all night.

The sweet and delicious tributes are all in front of me, and the cold god is still unwavering, but the part of the white cloth that is close to the mouth gradually becomes moist...

Oh, it must be the dew that came in from the window and landed here, not any other strange liquid.

Needless to say.

What a heavy blow Tahir received in an instant.

He leaned on the wall, and when he had to go out to do daily rituals, his figure was still precarious when he took the few steps out the door.

——Although I took a few more steps, I recovered when I got to a place where people could see it.

However, the rift in the heart is not so easy to mend.

The high priest was already in a depressed mood, and he hadn't slept all night. The low air pressure shrouded outside formed a thick black air.

In the eyes of those who don't know it, it becomes more majestic and unattainable. The sense of oppression is unprecedentedly strong, and those ice blue eyes are quenched into the ice pool, extremely cold.

"As expected of Mr. Tahir, he really feels more and more inviolable."

Among the people who saw him on the road, there were quite a few whispers like this.

Tahir didn't hear a word.

If he thought of the brown-haired prince smiling flamboyantly at him from the shore for about half of the time in yesterday's huge celebration, then in today's daily ceremony, he spent almost all of his time thinking about Ramses——

He was thinking that because Ramses messed with him, he somehow offended Mr. Mejed!

It is really unimaginable that Master Mejed's alienation and resistance actually brought such great pain to the ice-cold high priest.

Even, because he was so uncomfortable, he was still thinking about it after the ceremony, so that he accidentally put on a linen robe and walked out of the temple according to his habit, and walked to the street unknowingly.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...That's enough. Tell me what's your purpose, come here uninvited, what does the High Priest want to do?"

Tahir: "..."

At present, only the voice came out (be patient, endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it!): "--Do you want me to guess your thoughts again? Hehe, it's not just a whim, I specially came to visit me, who is not as good as before. Teacher."

Tahir: "?"

Senedi: "?"

Yes, the problem lies here.

It turned out that before he realized it, the place where Tahir entered the door was actually the residence of the current Sir Vihir Senedi.

Because the reason is really hard to explain...

His inexplicable visit, in the eyes of Mr. Senedi:

—Needless to say, nothing good happened.

——It’s definitely here to mess things up!

The author has something to say: In fact, even if these two people become domineering pharaohs and high-cold priests in the future, their essence will still be the same.

Lord Senedi was KO'd before he evolved into a villain boss, and now he can only stare at each other with Tahir 2333 The idiot prince has Moses and the princess, and the little priest also needs a parent【No】
