Death by love- part 14

 The mourning period had not yet ended. But Egypt got it's new king.Eeremenihotep was crowned as new ruler for the kingdom. It wasn't happy occasion for all except Amen-hotep.Everyone knew the evil personality of Eeremenihotep. The priests and viziers had already forecasted the doom of the kingdom.

Amen-hotep was excited to meet the new king. His desire was going to be fulfilled at last. The kingdom will be his in a day's time. The difficult part of removing his sister was over. He would easily remove his brothers from his way. He only had to wait for his dear friend a.k.a puppet to hand over the kingdom to him.

The patience was reducing as the days passed. Eeremenihotep would ignore Amen-hotep by keeping him wait for long hours. Amen-hotep was of no use now. He had got what he want.



One fine day, the degree of patience had dried up inside Amen-hotep. He barged inside the king's chamber though he wasn't allowed by the guards who once bowed their heads when he walked around the palace. The king rose up from his bed and pushed aside the female concubine. The king was angry at the unwanted visitor.

"How dare you walk like that into my room? Don't you know I am the king?", Eeremenihotep growled. " King! Don't forget that it was me who made you the king. And as promised you were supposed to hand over my kingdom.", Amen- hotep snapped. A series of argument took place between them and it ended into physical fight. The guards grabbed Amen-hotep by his hands. " Bring the advisors and viziers into the court! Tell them I have an announcement to make and bring the prisoner.", he ordered.

Inside the court, everyone waited for his annoucement. When everyone was gathered, he rose up and said, " I order the prisoner as well as his brothers to be exiled from the country on the account of misbehaving with the king."  Amen-hotep was in disbelief. After all the hard work, he got nothing in the end. Before he was sent to exile, he took his life. Eeremenihotep's rule scummbed in front of Roman's rule. As for Aahhotep - Bakaa , their names remained in history books for their sacrifice for the country. Their love was cherished after their death.
