Sihaya paused in calculation, but did not leave the Pharaoh waiting long. He took a few paces forward and stood steady under his leader’s watchful gaze. Beyond the wellspring were small dens of rock, and Sihaya half expected Sayf or Jawahir to come slinking out of one.
His ears cupped forward and wondered where Ramesses mind was at. War on the horizon. A wounded boy soldier in his halls. Allies encamped inside and adjacent to the territory. From the whispers, Sihaya had gathered they were zealots to some bear deity… and this made him grin, for he knew the power religion held over men. The Proctor Superiors were experts in crafting it to suit their ambitions.
Despite the turbulent politics, Ramesses appeared composed. As he should be – this man had constructed an new empire. Sihaya listened, half-lidded eyes watching closely.
