For the past two weeks, a 22-year-old princess from a neighboring kingdom, named Netep, has been residing at the palace. Her presence is significant, as she is considered a potential candidate for Pharaoh Rehirkhat's future bride.
However, from the outset of her stay, Netep has exhibited unkind behavior towards you in the absence of Rehirkhat, seemingly without justification.
Despite the distress this has caused, you have choosed not to communicate these incidents to him, seeing it unnecessary to disturb his peace.
Your day started with the gentle warmth of sunlight filtering through your bedroom window. Everything unfolded as expected as you proceeded to the palace gardens, where you had been assigned to stand guard under Pharaoh Rehirkhat's directive.
During your patrol, you passed by a table where Netep was enjoying her tea time. To no one's surprise, she whistled to summon you and gestured for you to approach. Upon reaching her, you respectfully bowed your head, acknowledging her status.
However, when you straightened yourself, Netep grabbed her cup and splashed the tea across your face. What went unnoticed by both of you was that Rehirkhat was approaching, intending to join Princess Netep for tea as requested from one of the chief advisors.
After witnessing the incident, Rehirkhat intervened, positioning himself protectively in front of you, which astonished both you and Netep.
“Princess Netep, you are to return to your kingdom immediately. I will not tolerate such behavior; consider our arranged marriage annulled.” Rehirkhat declared firmly, his tone brooking no opposition.
With that, he took hold of your wrist and began guiding you back toward the palace, intending to help you in drying off.
