Now you know and that I too will reign as queen and leader, pharaoh of Egypt. I know I will be fine and I will do everything in my power, strength and crown as pharaoh, head of Egypt to lead it with compassion, mercy, joy, bravery and love. I will….ahhhh!!, I shouted with my arm raised from the bed when I thought I was giving a speech to the citizens of Egypt. Ahahaha!!!
Ja….ur!!!, what are you doing?, Yuya asked rushing to my room while wiping his eyes when he heard a sort of commotion happening in my room.
Hehehe!!!
I am not worried about my daughter since I have trained her well. How time flies that in the middle years of my life I have witnessed Jaur's enthusiasm, strength and compassion towards our people, her sense of responsibility, honesty, credibility and humility in her abilities and knowledge. She doesn't know how much talent she has. She just needs motivation and support to unwrap and know how bright, kind and capable she is to inherit my throne. Jaur thinks little of herself that makes her rightful of the crown than next to my kin's nephew or niece who are so engrossed and uplifting themselves worthy for power. Who is worthy anyway? I was thirteen when I first knew that I would be pharaoh. Scared out of my wits, I just went ahead and did what I was supposed to do until now. I guess I have done well but more. And it is not over, I am yet to experience things in my life with Jaur and her rigorous training to be queen in the future. As my successor, she needs to be ready. If not ready, she needs to set her mind and herself to be ready at all times.
Mother, I saw a caravan and they said they are from Luxemburg. What is that place? Have you seen it? What is it like?, Jaur reiterated not letting Henshu speak.
Okay, just keep your cool. Yes, I have seen it and it is the most amazing place I have seen on earth of course second to our Egypt. But Luxemburg is a city just like Atlantis. I was young when I met the famous Plato and he is studies Philosophy, Science and Ethics for ten years now with Phythagoras and Thales. Now when he finished his education with our best philosophers, scientists and doctors he became the most sought after genius in the world. He told me about Atlantis and Luxemburg is just like it, beautiful, peaceful and built in gold.
Your grandfather took me to Luxemburg when I was about 15 years old. And it was one of the most unforgettable experience I had that I won't exchange anything in the world from not even a piece of our delicious cakes here, haha!!!!
About twenty years earlier....
Father, father! Where are we going?, Henshu asked while riding a horse bigger than her. Yes, my dear, we will be going to visit my friend in Luxemburg and he wanted to see you again to give you your gifts. He is you godfather by baptism you know!
Oh!, father. I'm not a child anymore, why do I need a gift and what is it for?, Jaur added laughing and tapping her horse at its back. Woah!, giddy-up!
Ah yes, the gift. You will see!, Haha!, Anhemnotep replied smiling then ordered his horse to walk a little faster. We need to ride faster we won't wander the vast desserts at night. Let's go Henshu, ride faster, Ardor (horse) let's go, move like the wind!!! Yah…..yahhhhh!!!!!! Tsk, tsk tsk!
Come on, Sheeba (Henshu's horse), let's go and shock father how fast you are like running in a marathon! Yahhhhhh….., Henshu bending forward to whisper at Sheeba's ear then shouted to let Anhemnotep know that they are ready for the challenge. Let's ride to Luxemburg now Father, lead the way!
Haha!, Anhemtnotep replied with joy. Henshu also laughed, so excited to travel with her father, for the first time since she became Queen and pharaoh of Egypt. Henshu didn't allow her body guards to join them but little did she know, Jaur-din and her warriors are on alert mode knowing that Pharaoh is traveling to Luxemburg. They are far from her sight but not far enough to protect and shield her from enemies and bad guys.
Meehhhhhh….both Anhemnotep and Henshu's horses replied together in unison and ran as fast as they can like lightning through the dark night venturing the long waters of the Nile towards the sandy dessert to Luxemburg. The marks they left were like fire lighting the desert sands in the dead of night while the moon is shining fully and bright under the Queen of Egypt and her father.
Luxemburg is a city of all the cities I have seen and visited. It is so beautiful that stepping to the front where all is sparkling gold, I couldn't keep my eyes on the girls and women dressed in white with jewelries on their heads, necks, arms, knees and feet. My gods, where in the world am I? Father, are we in paradise?
I can also see nude women bathing in a river before walking towards the gates of the city. I can't see men or boys anywhere, but father said that his friend named ah…Father what is your friend's name again?
Philippe! He is a blacksmith here and they are just few men and boys living in Luxemburg, not inside the city but at the corner of this wonderful haven which is protected by the goddesses Hathor, headed by the Mother of Gods, Isis.
Father can we enter this city? I just want to see what's inside and how the women or girls live here! Can we?
Yes of course, as Queen and Pharaoh you have the right and authority to enter. But mind you, be careful of the women here, they are over friendly and can be a bit touchy, so take care! I'll just check my friend Philippe, go on and have fun, my darling!, Anhemnotep said and went on his way with his horse and I went in the city alone though Jaur-din and some guards, soldiers are not so far away from me. They stopped and kept watch outside the golden gates of Luxemburg.
