Lion Head Mesa You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?

The girl spoke of coronation! So she was not yet crowned, and he knew that from what the Lady had said; yet it shocked him all the same to consider this youth so close to divinity. He knew better than to question the gods and saw no real fault in it. Only, he had come here for the sake of spoken promises and wondered now at their validity.
His head raised. Harakhte held himself with the bearing of his station.
I claim a seat upon the throne of Akhet, as the intended prince promised by my father, Ra-Semerkhet. Word came to us that the ruler of Akashingo, the divine Ra-Ramesses, sought pairings for his daughters; it is for this my people have made the journey. He explained this with a level tone, letting the pieces fall in to place. Pausing so that the words could have effect and be absorbed.
It is with surprise and sorrow, I learn your divine father has passed. A silence came then, a closing of his eyes, a moment of respect. When again his gaze blazed open again, Harakhte looked carefully upon Toula.
We will of course attend your coronation, holy one. I only wonder - after such travel, and finding things vastly different - where it is your brother has gone? Was he not the next to be crowned? He did not mean to disrespect her position, and was careful.
