The palace grounds are full, pact with people who are peasants, soldiers, commoners, merchants, nobles and citizens of Egypt consist of Nubian, Canaanites, Misrs, Macedonians, Africans, Muslim, Arabs and more. Everyone is excited to meet their new leader, their Pharaoh, their Sun, their Regnant Qeen, Henshupta.
Meraek and Anhemnotep are already seated beside the podium and the palace terrace looked grand with beautiful flowers such as blue Egyptian lotus among many others. Henshupta is nervous. She closed her eyes and uttered a prayer to Isis and Ra to help, guide and strengthen her this day. Her special day as the new leader of Egypt, Pharaoh. Thank you my gods for hearing my plea to help my people and free them from chaos and division because of political, religious affairs and some parts of the land that are experiencing poverty. The peasants remain poor and the nobles, rich. How can I solve this dilemma and free my people from discord and hate?, Henshupta asked herself asking the gods for a sign that she is indeed the Chosen for the sake of Egypt and her people. She walked out of her room and head straight to the terrace. The clouds formed in the sky and hid the shining sun.
Then when I stepped out to the podium, the Lord Sun began to shine brightly and magnanimously like he is focusing his rays towards me. I appeared strong and luminous since Yuya let me wear a gold half-pleated wound around my body with a pleated section drawn to the front. My nemes head dress had blue, gold that shimmers when the sun's rays hit it. It's blinding and I am like human gold walking and talking in front of the large crowd. My people stopped and stared at me, they all knelt one by one until I can no longer see each person but myself standing in front of sea of men, women, children natives and foreigners. I didn't know what to feel but I got teary-eyed that my people accept me warmly and with respect. I held my arms high and uttered I love you and as your leader I will be the greatest Pharaoh the land has ever produced. I am like you, I dreamed, trained and prayed to be in my position now. I am Pharaoh Henshupta, your leader, queen, your god/goddess for as long as you will want me to govern you and the land. I love you!, Henshupta added and blew a kiss to her people that stood up one by one and shouted, long live the Queen, long live Pharaoh Henshupta, Khons of Egypt. Khons, Khons, Khons!!!!!
Henshupta stepped down the podium and still couldn't stop crying for her people's warm welcome and embrace as their leader and pharaoh. She couldn't believe that they accepted her as their leader. But she is overwhelmed in a way that she is willing to do everything in her power to be a good King and a just leader to his people.
There must have been 15-20,000 people present that time, and I asked Yuya to provide snacks of sweetened bread and he agreed. So, everyone were given bread dipped in dates or honey. The people didn't expect to be given food and what's more astounding is Henshupta gave free beers since Egyptians love bread and beer for snacks.
It was a day for a celebration and it's been a long time the people have felt happy and full since Hapshetsut's reign, a decade or two ago.
Now, the people of Egypt felt that they are blessed with a good Queen and a loving Pharaoh. Henshupta is now the talk of the town that spread all through-out the land, in Asia, Europe and the West.
Yuya, briefed Henshupta her responsibilities as Pharaoh such as making laws, raging wars to protect and collect loots, riches and fame, collect taxes, oversee her lands, and assisted by her elders in the court, nobles for her other commitments. She is the Commander-in-Chief and Head Priestess of Egypt. In her free time she will visit her gardens and smell the flowers of the Palace. Henshupta likes to eat fish, preferably catfish, lettuce and honey. She also loves dates, figs and whatever nuts one can find in Egypt.
After the briefing, Henhsupta needs to visit her farms, buildings for construction, temples, tombs and monuments which needed to be taken care of or rebuilt. Henshupta at her age, fifteen, felt like the weight of the world is already getting her out of proportion and she wanted to escape from them.
Yuya felt uneasy and Henshupta seems unattentive, so, he smiled and "Okay, it's enough for the day, you have a lot in your plate your highness. But we an resume some other time." Would you want an audience with our priestess Meraek?, Yuya added and when Henshupta heard of it, her eyes sparkled and the Courtier said the magica word to uplift the Pharaoh's heart.
Alright then, I'll arrange for her to come, to your chamber or???, Yuya whispered.
Yes, please, Yuya. Thank you, so much!, Henshupta said breathing as if very much relieved from everything that is going on in her life now.
As you wish, your majesty!, Yuya said and motioned his head for the maid to summon Chantress Meraek.
Meraek and Anhemnotep were talking and happily looking at Henshupta's pictures when she was younger. One of the 'was scepters' knocked at the Chantress' room and found that Henshupta's dad is about to leave when she advised that the Pharaoh summons her to her chamber. Anhemnotep smiled and kissed Meraek on the cheek and moved along his way.
Meraek got so excited and she took a quick bath and added perfume on her neck and wrists to smell nice since she knew that Henshupta loves sweet smelling perfumes.
Usually pharaohs would dip into their pool with all the wonderful and enchanting smells of ointments, flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses and oils to have that calming scent which Henshupta loves about bathing with her maids or shabtis. The Pharaoh is silent and naked when she motioned for her shabtis to leave her alone when Chantress Meraek came in to see and have an audience with her.
You summoned for me your highness! And what a coincidence, I wanted to see her majesty too since I missed her so, for she was very busy this past few days, Meraek said walking closer to get a full view of the beautiful pharaoh.
Aha!, you missed me yet you never even said hi when you have time. But it's okay I understand your position as the priestess of the land and the courts. So, how do I look to you now that I am bare and all skin?, I asked teasing her while jumping up and down for her to have a tiny glimpse of my body.
Ah, what do you mean? Those tiny bosoms of yours, but wait until you see these…., Meraek said while pulling off her clothing covering none but her private part. Uhhhh!!!!, Meraek, what are you doing? I asked you here to talk to you about business and the gods wishes for me to lead my country, I cried not able to look at her so I moved my gaze on to the left side and reasoned with her. But deep in my heart I wanted to see all of Meraek and feel her too if the gods would allow me to.
So, this business of yours, is it about farming, lands, taxes, women, slaves, merchants or what about?, Meraek explained and dipped herself in the pool. The pool near my chamber is so large that ten people can fit inside it. Meraek moved in closer to me until I felt her so near that her skin is literally touching my left leg. I felt her private part and it's smooth like there's no hair unlike mine which has some but not the bushy type. Sorry for being so descriptive. It's my first time to be with a girl so please bear with me!
Meraek! What….
