King Deshret, or just Deshret, has been good friends with Rukkadevata (The Archon) and Nabu Malikala. (Goddess of flowers.) They have been almost best friends for years, Nabu is kind but oblivious.

Deshret has had romantic feelings for her for years, but decided to not act on his feelings, afraid it will be complicated with other issues. They act as just friends.

He and Nabu built Ay-Khanoum, an ancient city, together with Rukkadevata's blessing.

Nabu is in the garden, as Deshret read to her.
