"Ramses! You're in trouble, young man!" complained Hotep looking at Ramses, after he was drenched in wine from the bag that Moses dropped at him with.

"Ramses, get down here! I think you owe us an apology," complained Huy, feeling upset and frustrated the same way Hotep felt.

After Moses encouraged Ramses to pour the rest of the wine from a black bowl unto the two priests, they laughed before making their way to the banquet for tonight. But first, they'd have to get themselves prepared. After they had left the priests' presence, Hotep and Huy felt like enough was enough.

"Huy, I've had it! I'm no longer gonna put up with the blasphemous actions of those two children. I'm beginning to think that Moses isn't even Egyptian," Hotep said.

"Well said, Hotep. You know I was thinking that we'd take the rest of the day off, find somebody to capture so we'd get a raise from the pharaoh," added Huy, thinking that they'd capture a slave.

Hotep looked from a distance, through an open view of the palace from the temple he and Huy were in and began to think of who to capture. They looked at the many slaves who were carving the hieroglyphs and chiseling a bit more detail into the statues of Seti and the various gods the Egyptians worshiped. Suddenly, the moment Hotep looked at the various Hebrew women who were basically molding the clay pots for the pharaoh, he had an idea.

"Huy, what if we captured someone from outside of Egypt, someone who isn't really a slave… but rather an offering to Ramses?" he smirked.

"Ooh, Hotep! You might be onto something. You think it'll work?" asked Huy, thinking of the possibilities of the plan failing to come into fruition.

"Not to worry, Huy. I bet that the gods will have a chance at aiding us in capturing the perfect woman. Come!" Hotep added before the two priests began to exit the temple, but before they could do so, Seti came to their presence.

"What in the name of the gods do you think you're doing? Where are you heading anyways? The banquet will be later tonight," he asked.

Hotep and Huy looked at each other and they were sweating, so much to the point that it got Seti looking at the two suspiciously. First at Hotep, thinking it would be because of the heat which is common, considering that in Egypt it was always scorching hot. Then Seti looked at Huy, who wanted to hear him explain until…

"Your righteousness, your sons are preparing themselves for the banquet. Are you coming?" a soldier said, informing the pharaoh.

"Yes, Donkor. I'll be heading later tonight. Thanks for informing me," said Seti.

"Your rule is forever cherished, my good pharaoh," replied Donkor before retreating from the pharaoh's presence.

"Anyway Hotep, Huy, whatever you two have to do, please do it before tonight. I've got a big surprise for Ramses. I'll expect you two to at least bring an offering for him. Now, I'll see you two later tonight," said Seti with a smile on his face before walking away.

Hotep and Huy sighed in relief as they resumed their duty to find the perfect woman for the banquet.

"Do you think we should change our clothes or something? They're still soaking wet," added Huy.

"Good point, Huy. Let's do that really quick," said Hotep as they went to their chambers and change clothes before resuming their duty.


The moon began to surface over Egypt as Hotep and Huy acquired a good quantity of rope, a singular red ball and a camel as the perfect set of tools to capture the perfect woman. For a mere few minutes, they'd been searching the entire desert to no avail… until luck came to the priests' aid.

"Hotep, look! There she is!" exclaimed Huy in excitement, as he pointed to an unconscious Midian woman in short, aqua-colored clothing with garments of jewelry and gold.

Then as Hotep came close to Huy, he took a good look at the girl. He and Huy smirked and chuckling mischievously that they began getting to work: they carried the woman, tied her ankles and wrists with some of the rope they have, put her body unto the camel's back and then, they began making their way back to Egypt. After entering Moses' chambers with his permission, Hotep and Huy chuckled as they made their way to the banquet just in time.

"Hotep, Huy, thank the gods you two made it," chuckled Seti as he hugged the two priests.

"Your excellency, our only wish is to serve your every need," said Hotep bowing to the pharaoh."

"May the kingdom of Egypt be completed in due time very soon," said Huy as he also bowed.

"Thank you, really. Now enjoy the banquet, for I've got a big announcement to make in thirty minutes," said Seti dismissing the priests.


Fifteen minutes into the banquet and the priests were having a blast at the banquet, showing off their magic to the people of Egypt. Each trick was greater and more exciting than the last. Later on, Hotep was enjoying some snacks and drinks alongside Huy, after having a chat with some soldiers. Another fifteen minutes pass and it was time for Seti to make his announcement.

"People of Egypt!" said Seti, getting everyone's attention.

"Tonight is a special night, because we are honoring the coming of my stepson Moses, who is now part of my family. After the passing of my father, I promised him a great Egypt. The greatest kingdom in all the Earth, to become an empire that reaches across every vast corner of the world. A kingdom so great, no flaw can ever be noticed. A kingdom so Utopian, no forces of chaos dare come to abolish it all. That is why as of tonight, I name my son Ramses II, prince regent!"

The crowd cheered at Seti's announcement, even Hotep and Huy who were enjoying it. The two priests clinked their cups of wine as they began enjoying the rest of the banquet. Meanwhile…

"I'm done for! Father will kill me!" Said Ramses being a nervous wreck as he was hurrying down the stairs with Moses.

"Don't worry. Nobody will even notice us coming in," said Moses with confidence.

But the moment they came in, Seti and Tuya welcomed, the crowd cheering even better. Ramses was not happy when he looked at Moses and said:

"Nobody will even notice…" this got Moses laughing embarrassingly and groaning.

"Ah, the young princes," said Queen Tuya as she approached her two fully grown children.

"Ramses, you were just named prince regent. You are now responsible for overseeing all the temples. I suggest you get over there and thank your father," she said to her firstborn before turning to Moses:

"Apparently, Moses, someone thought he just needed the opportunity."

This gave him a big deal of confidence and great optimism that he walked up to Seti and spake to him.

"My Lord Pharaoh. I propose that the high priests offer tribute to their new regent."

"An excellent idea. Hotep! Huy!" said Seti to the priests.

In spite of Hotep spitting out his wine, he had remembered the duty they had done earlier today before telling Huy.

"Huy?"

"Hmm?" wondered Huy.

"The Midian girl," added Hotep, reminding him of the woman they had captured from the desert.

"Oh, yeah! Of course. That's a good idea," said Huy with much excitement.

"Go get her," added Hotep, chuckling and smiling before making his way to pharaoh while Huy went to get the Midian woman.

The spectacle onward was something to remember.
