The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Originally, according to the regulations, the wedding ceremony of the king and the queen should be carried out under the watchful eyes of the gods.

The location must be the Temple of the Sun, and the time must start counting from the morning of the day.

The gate of the deepest temple opened slowly, facing the horizon, and in the distant sky illuminated by the sky, there was still the track of the sun boat driven by the God Ra.

The people crowded on both sides of the road early, and the flowers prepared to adorn their eyes and celebrate the national celebration day spread all over the surroundings. The petals flew like rain, and finally quietly sprinkled on the road, becoming the perfect foreshadowing for the royal driver.

Today, only one line of trains can travel to the end of this road.

With the arrival of the first horn sounding from the palace to the distance, all the people waiting on the roadside knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing high respect to the owner of the land who was about to walk in front of them.

The master of the earth is a young pharaoh.

Ra gave him golden eyes and a will.

His beauty is like the breeze and spring rain.

His arms are as strong as steel.

His light shines on both sides of the Nile every day as the sun rises.

All nations sing praises, His name is Eternity.

At his most powerful and handsome peak age, the Eternal King announced to the world that he was going to marry a princess.

The princess is the most beautiful and pure existence in the world, unmatched by anyone.

If the king is the incarnation of the sun, then the princess is the moon corresponding to the sun.

The light of the moon is not so dazzling, but it is a symbol of nobility, shining like jade, clear and translucent.

The king's harem is empty, no matter before or after, if you get this most beautiful flower that blooms on the banks of the Nile, you will have nothing to ask for. The happiness and joy of spending the rest of your life with this person is better than having thousands of beauties by your side .

People who know this should be happy for the king's happiness, and the gods who heard the call should bless the king's prayer.

No matter how you look at it, this marriage is one in a million and perfect.

The well-dressed young pharaoh wears a double crown and sits on a throne raised by many people. He really has the majesty of a god that cannot be seen directly.

The princess has not yet shown up, and the place where the team is heading is the temple in the direction of the rising sun.

The interior of the temple was already ready for the ceremony.The priests put on new clothes, and the steps of serving God were perfect.

Countless tributes are placed in front of the statue, countless precious jewels are piled up on the trays, fragrant wine overflows from the barrels, and the enthusiasm rising from the surface of the freshly baked bread will fill the top of the apse...

But these are not the point.

The ceremony has not yet started, neither the king nor the princess has stepped into the hall.

They will come to the place where the eyes of the gods meet under the eyes of everyone, receive baptism, bathe in the divine light, and receive the blessings of all gods and people.

Then, to the last moment.

The king will crown the concubine he has chosen.

Unlike previous kings in the huge harem where every woman was called a concubine, this king has only one concubine, and the title "queen" is actually more appropriate.

Therefore, the crown presented was that which belonged to the king's first wife, the one and only queen.

——how happy they will be when the crown is lowered and they are at the highest place in the country, looking at each other with their heads bowed or raised amidst the thunderous cheers.

As if in a dream.

Ah, this imagination...

It really only exists in dreams.

In reality, the king had no lover by his side until his death.

He did not find the one and only princess he had chosen, people who knew nothing about the truth slandered the one he loved, and the gods never blessed their love from beginning to end.

If there is still a most indelible attachment in Wang's heart, it must be this "dream".

"For those of us who have waited in vain while we were still alive, we can no longer have thoughts of 'continue to wait' and 'there will be another time', Tahir."

Ozymandias was unwilling to delay any longer.

The so-called "waiting with peace of mind" is all an excuse for procrastination, and it is still endless. There is no end to incompetent procrastination at all.

As long as each other's time was alive, they missed as much time, and even more time wasted in confusion.

The king in the past believed in "waiting" too much.

He was indulging in his own dreams and fantasies, unable to take the initiative to pursue them, which led to too many misses and mistakes.

If, until now, you are indulging in the hard-won happiness as before, and no longer take the initiative to seek, ask for, and establish - what is the difference between this and the "past" that is destined to be a tragedy?

"I do not want to."

Wang said.

"Tahir, I'm sorry. Tahir, my love, until today, I was able to take that step towards you that I longed for the most."

It's just one step away.

Some people may not understand that the pharaoh and his lover have been successfully combined in both spiritual and physical aspects. Their love has been integrated into one and can no longer be separated. ceremony?

It makes sense and is logical.

However, what is lacking should be "meaning" itself.

"Even if it can only make up for a little bit, I want to make up for the 'happiness' that we missed and should have come early."

"Without the cheers of all peoples, it will be replaced by the whistling wind that spreads across this desert."

"Without the eyes of watching the ceremony, the sight of the beloved daughter we raised together is enough."

"Without the blessings of the gods, it doesn't matter. Isn't our love itself a taboo that is not allowed?"

Yes, after such a detailed count, the wedding prepared by the pharaoh who was able to appear in this world is almost nothing.

Those mighty ostentations that fit the status of a king, the gorgeous scenes piled up with countless exquisite details, including the ceremony itself that can be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to know, are naturally impossible to appear today.

If it was an ordinary moment, the pharaoh at this time would have been furious at this perfunctory scene, expressing his dissatisfaction.

But the fact is that even if he is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do. Ozymandias has already made preparations that have actually exceeded the upper limit within the scope of his current capabilities.

The specific preparations are not fully disclosed yet.

Well, after all, it's still in the stage of proposing, not directly getting married——

"If you will hold my hand tightly."

By the only pond in the temple, all the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the edges of the white petals seemed to be inlaid with golden threads.

When Wang uttered these words, there was an undetectable tremor in his deep voice.

Not afraid of rejection.

When is this, how could it be rejected!

...No way, if the final marriage proposal is rejected unexpectedly, then all subsequent preparations will be in vain!

The Pharaoh looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was a little flustered in his heart.

Because Tahir has not given an answer until now.

If Wang had calmed down a little bit, he should still be able to find out that the reason why he didn't wait for an answer for a long time was that his lover deliberately slowed down the rhythm in order to better observe his expression.

Well, I don't know if there are potential factors such as deliberately looking at him anxiously...

Anyway, as a witness to the proposal, the daughter who was standing in the distance covered her mouth silently, as if she was smiling.

After half an hour.

"Did you think of this action yourself, Ramses?"

Tahir finally spoke.

"This action" refers to the king's action of kneeling on one knee at this time, which was absolutely impossible in Egypt thousands of years ago.

A man who is a king is hoeing the ground on one knee, and what he kneels to is a servant of God, which is equivalent to his servant.

How shocking it was, it was a presumptuous act that would frighten the gods and feel that the dignity of the gods had been tarnished, and thus vent their anger on the Son of God!

But it's a pity.

Gods who have already withdrawn from the human stage cannot see this scene.

That's why Pharaoh was so frank.

"This is the action that people in this world will do when they propose to their loved ones. In front of their lovers, there is no distinction of status, and Pharaoh is no exception."

Ozymandias said sternly that he has not yet revealed that he is hiding a ring that is probably not obvious under the lotus petals that he is pinching his fingertips at this time.

His plan was that when Tahir took the lotus, he would discover the hidden surprise.

Don't say that this is not what a king should do, and don't accuse the priests who have not accepted it until now to be too arrogant.

Their identities remaining in the world are just "ordinary people in love".

It's just that - the heart of a priest is indeed extremely arrogant.

"Do you understand what you are doing, Ramses? And, do you understand, but are you willing to bear all the consequences of this action, Ramses?"

Tahir continued to ask questions.

At certain moments, he was so straightforward that it was unbelievable, but at certain moments he was overly cautious, as if he wanted to draw out all the king's emotions.

It doesn't matter.Ozymandias understood him perfectly.

Wang knew his intention for asking these questions, and he also knew all the answers to these questions.

Wang knew his character was like this, and he also knew the reason why he still refused to accept the title of great significance even if he was with him.

"Brand your existence into my spiritual base in a way that can no longer be erased. This is the true purpose of the ceremony."

Ozymandias finally said frankly: "I can't bear it anymore, you will still leave my ending."

Their love does not require anyone to "acknowledge" or "permit", they just need to inform God and the world of the result.

If they were still human beings, the meaning of the wedding would be that this person would be the only one who would be with them forever.

And at this moment, when one person is a heroic spirit and the other is about to become a heroic spirit, the mark of the formal combination will be deeply imprinted in the heroic spirit body on the throne of the heroic spirit.

The part that belongs to them will be imprinted in the depths of another person's spiritual base, indestructible and indestructible, and truly eternal.

"It's better to let you know, my desire." Ozymandias said to Tahir: "In addition to making you belong to me, I also want my mark to be engraved with your spirit base forever. "

"what……"

It's something I've known for a long time.

But Tahir lowered his smooth eyelids and said softly: "What a greedy king, Your Majesty."

Ozymandias paused for a moment, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Greed is a king's instinct, don't misunderstand the king of kings just because I am only gentle with you, princess—no, queen of the rest. "

"Please don't call me that."

"Oh yes, it's a bit early to call, the wedding hasn't officially started yet!"

"……never mind."

Tahir gave up telling the pharaoh not to maintain this wrong perception anymore, it was just a title, and he didn't really care.

Instead it is this.

"Your knees can't touch the ground for anyone, not even me."

"Ok?"

Ozymandias was keenly aware of the tone change in Tahir's low voice. It seemed that at a certain moment, the owner of the voice's deep emotions for a certain existence that had accumulated for thousands of years all burst out.

But he also collected it quickly, leaving no trace.

"Rameses."

At this moment, their eyes are level.

Tahir then lowered his height, half kneeling on the ground, and the end of his blond hair swept across the ground quietly.

He held the king's hand—in a way of gently covering the palm of the king's hand holding the lotus flower in his own.

"If that's what you allow...and what you expect."

"Of course." The blond man who was as beautiful as the moonlight said softly.

"I am willing."

As the voice fell, Wang saw a deeper answer from the pair of blue eyes that were close at hand.

The ice on the surface and the lake in the depths were melted away by the heat of the sun.

The king's love is like a scorching fire that can consume everything at any time.

Priestly love, on the other hand, is the opposite type.

It is blazing that cannot be seen on the surface.

It is the madness and persistence that only you can experience.

When he said those three words, Tahir had already told his true answer to his beloved and respected king with his eyes:

He wants to give everything to him.

Nothing was left out, all of them were thrown into the flames of the scorching sun.

Until death, endlessly.

*****

In this ancient land flowed by the Nile River, a wedding ceremony belonging to the king and queen was held.

As expected, apart from the shrine brought by the king and the daughter picked up in vain ten years ago, this wedding scene, which should have attracted worldwide attention, did not have any ostentation.

Without the cheers of the people, the awe-inspiring eyes of the princes and nobles, and even the priests hosting the ceremony, it is impossible for the noble queen to hold two roles.

Originally, there wasn't even a god statue to look at and bless them, but the queen proposed that there was one and only one god who could take on this task. Therefore, a god statue was erected at the wedding scene in the temple.

As for the appearance of the solitary statue, it is a bit strange, like a white cloth bag with extra long legs and painted eyes, and details such as the snake staff who is forced to act as the second spectator to see and glare... It is not important, it is completely ok ignore.

"Why did that white egg come out again! Damn, I know that guy is definitely there all the time, and he definitely did something bad that is not a good thing for me!"

No, because the snake stick is too noisy, I can't ignore it for the time being.

"Mr. Snake Staff!"

The results of the Pharaoh’s raid on the shopping malls were finally reflected on this day. The purple-haired girl came out of the inner hall in a white dress that was closest to the aesthetics of ancient Egypt.

"Don't be disrespectful to God, my lord father said that Mejed-sama is like his elder, that is, our elder, and we must show pure respect."

"What, what does the white skin egg have to do with this uncle, including me in it without authorization...Gah!"

"Hush, the wedding is about to begin, we must keep quiet here."

"Silence! Sakura, do you know—"

Snake Staff can't be as calm as Sakura at all.

It seems that it has come again, and it has reached the stage where it is unable to understand human thoughts for the unknown number of times.

In other words, the Snake Staff is a little more irritable than usual at the moment, which stems from its inner restlessness and bewilderment.

It no longer expects to see through the hearts of those two fools who have been stupid for thousands of years.But the problem is that Sakura, a human girl who is only in her teens, is doing things at this time that completely deviate from logic.

Don't you know?

No, even if you can't guess everything, you must be aware of it.

The girl must have thought about what kind of future is about to usher in.

Those two guys, those two guys out of this crazy thing, are going to-

"We should go to the place where the ceremony is held."

——So, why is this, I can't understand it at all.

"Mr. Snake Zhang, being able to attend the wedding of my father and lords is like a dream... I am so happy, I will never forget this day."

——Why can you still show such a relaxed smile without the slightest shadow?

——Obviously...

All this in a bubble.

Later, it will be broken and dissipated in the wind.

"Ah, it's started, here they come!"
