Son of the Hero King

Chapter 195 CH 174: A BEAUTY

Once he finished the preparations, Sol began to follow the servant in order to meet the so-called Nefertiti while chuckling inwardly.

'So, after the grandmother, it's the turn of the granddaughter.'

The place where the meeting was taking place was a patio with nature in abundance and a beautiful scenery composed of rivers and trees.

Even though the air outside should have been terribly hot because of the three suns hanging in the sky, the temperature on the patio was rather mild. Sol supposed that it was the result of a protective barrier like the one used for the hanging garden in Lustburg.

Looking at the one he supposed was Nefertiti, as she sat in a prim and proper way, Sol's eyes couldn't help but lit up.

Saying that Nefertiti was beautiful would be a redundancy since Sol had never seen an ugly phoenix. But, Nefertiti was on another level altogether.

Nefertiti looked like a slim young woman with shoulder-length brown hair decorated with flower ornaments, and her eyes were of a beautiful and soft pink.

Her delicate brown skin seemed to shine under the light of the suns and contrasted nicely with her white and gold egyptian dress fit for a princess.

When Sol entered, she stood up and gave a curtsey full of grace.

"Good morning honored guest, I hope I did not bother you."

A gentle smile lit up her face as she addressed him.

"..."

"... Your highness?"

'Huh?'

As if waking up from a trance Sol also answered with his own smile,

"Forgive me. It was just that I was completely entranced by your beauty."

Nefertiti did not seem to take offense and covered her mouth with her hand as she let out a light and gentle laugh,

"I am honored. Would you like to take a seat? I asked the servants to prepare a light snack."

"Very well."

Taking a seat not far from her, Sol had to fight all his instincts to not throw sneaky glances at her.

'She is really worthy of her name.'

In history, Nefertiti was recognized as one of the most beautiful queens to ever exist in Egypt. In fact, her name meant “A beautiful woman has come.”

He didn't know if the name had the same meaning here, but this didn't matter.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

'Why the hell am I acting like some teenager in heat? ... Ohhh.'

He grumbled inwardly before releasing that he was indeed a teenager in heat.

His heart was beating fast like a drum and his cheeks felt warm.

In all his life, the only time he had ever felt like this was when he met Medea for the first time.

Thankfully, even though he was quite mesmerized, Sol wasn't inexperienced.

Calming down his wildly beating heart, he looked straight at Nefertiti's eyes and asked.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

'Oh?'

Even though her expression did not change, Nefertiti was quite startled at how fast he managed to get his bearings back.

Of course, Sol did not miss what Nefertiti had tried to say. But even if he did, the way she restrained herself in front of ‘Sheherazade’ showed that she couldn't be a simple guest, which made her true identity all the more obvious.

Sipping on the still steaming cup of tea that the servants had placed on the table, Sol admired 'Sheherazade'.

Currently, she was draped in a black and gold robe that barely covered her thighs. while her curves were not that impressive, they were still a little above average.

Standing next to Nefertiti, the contrast between the two was all the more obvious.

A pure beauty clad in white facing a mischievous beauty clad in black. Even though 'Sheherazade' wasn't as beautiful as Nefertiti, she was still a top class beauty.

Nefertiti was just in another class altogether.

'What a charming scene.'

Drinking a good tea, feeling the wind, and looking at two beauties bickering.

This brought him quite the nostalgic feeling as it made him feel like he was back at home with Setsuna and Lilith fighting against each other.

Thinking about them, a warm smile unconsciously formed on his face.

'Hum? Why is everything silent suddenly?'

Bringing back his attention to the scene, he was surprised to see that 'Sheherazade' and Nefertiti had stopped arguing and were looking at him in trance.

In the end 'Sheherazade' shook her head as she took a seat next to Sol. Inwardly, she couldn't help but murmur,

'This should be cheating.'

Not far from her, Nefertiti shared the same opinion.

She never thought she would one day be the one dazzled by a smile.

Once 'Sheherazade' calmed down, she took a cookie from Sol's plate and munched on it quite happily, as if oblivious that she was intruding.

In the end, Nefertiti did not wish to break the good impression she had managed to establish.

"Well, it seems like we will be unable to continue this discussion."

Sighing, she stood up and gave another curtsey,

"If you will excuse me, I need to bid you farewell. I hope that we will meet later—in a more private setting."

She did not forget to shoot a pointed look at the intruder.

"I am most thankful."

Smiling, Nefertiti turned around and walked away with her servants. Sol did not miss the fact that they went away without taking the cat with them.

"Humph! Shameless vixen."

'Sheherazade' murmured angrily before stuffing her face with another cookie.

Sol gave a wry smile as he took the napkin and wiped off the crumbs at the corner of her mouth.

"Stop acting like a child."

"I am not a child!"

She blushed heavily at this intimate action and took the napkin from his hand to finish the job.

"So..." Taking another sip of his tea, he asked, "Why are you here?"

'Sheherazade' hesitated for a shortt while before gathering her resolve.

"I want to talk with you."

Seeing Nefertiti, Isis understood that she could not continue to drag this situation on. It was time to end the lies.

(AN: Ah, even though I am writing him. If I ever meet a guy like Sol in real life, I would feel like punching him because of how envious of him I would be.)

Trivia: Did you know, in history, Nefertiti is the one who promoted the cult of a sun god, Aten. She even changed her name to Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti, meaning "beautiful are the beauties of Aten, a beautiful woman has come," to show her faith and promote the sun god as the head of the pantheon and the only one worthy of respect. Now then... Why is this trivia important? Heh, who knows.
