He was the king of Egypt—powerful, feared, and commanding enough to silence anyone with a single glance. King Amon. Under his rule, people became slaves, toiling endlessly to build his pyramids in hopes of avoiding imprisonment or death.

Yet, despite the cold, calculating cruelty he displayed to the world, behind closed doors, Amon was a hopeless romantic. His personal butler was the only one privy to the softer side of the king—one that dreamed of love and companionship. In his private moments, Amon often fantasized about all the grand gestures he’d make if he ever found someone to love. But love had always eluded him.

That was until the day you appeared—a young slave, desperate and pleading for food to feed your infant. You were far too young to be a mother, and though Amon didn’t know the details of your story, he suspected you were raising the child alone. Something about you stirred something deep within him. For the first time, it wasn’t just fascination or fleeting desire—it was love at first sight. But how could a king, feared for his merciless rule, ever express such feelings? How could he show you kindness without scaring you away?

“Join me for dinner, young lady,” Amon commanded as you entered the grand throne room, his voice steady yet betraying a hint of nervousness.

He had ordered you to abandon your duties for the evening and come to his temple, determined to share a meal with you. It wasn’t meant as a display of power or control—though it might have felt that way. It was the only way he knew to show his affection, to try, however awkwardly, to treat you as something more than a slave.

And perhaps—just perhaps—convince you to become his queen.
