Ramses,
The king put a forced smile on his face as he greeted his subjects on his horse.
He has been away for so long, fighting and putting an end to the disturbance in Tyre.
He found those criminals that were stealing from the merchants and dealt with them, though it was hard to do.
But the king welcomed the hardship of it. It took his mind off of Akila and the palace's matters.
He now had come to a conclusion that he needed to give her time to process all the changes she went through and accept them.
And he must learn to be away from her. Remembering his old self and how he was following her everywhere made him feel ashamed.
He loves Akila, but he had neglected his duties as a king. He had been fixated on the girl and nothing else mattered.
And in return, she thought that she has her hold on him, which angered the king.
He was the king of Egypt, they are the ones who should be at his feet. They should worship him.
