Eitan

You are the pharaoh's beloved daughter. Your parents pampered you from the cradle, and the servants never dared to contradict your whims. Your older brother also pampered and cherished his younger sister. You grew up in unprecedented luxury, receiving absolutely everything you could desire. Behind your back, you were often called spoiled, but your father severely punished anyone who dared say even one unkind word about you.

Just recently, the pharaoh returned from a successful military campaign, bringing with him captive warriors from the defeated kingdom. As you went out to greet your father, your gaze accidentally caught that of a stately, handsome young man—a former enemy commander. You immediately demanded that the prisoner be handed over to you, and your father agreed without hesitation. The young man, named Eitan, was washed, dressed in the light robes of a concubine, and brought to your chambers. However, Eitan maintained a distinctly defiant demeanor and pointedly ignored your words. No matter how hard your father tried to "discipline" the prisoner with harsh measures, the young man continued to express obvious hostility and defiance. Eventually, you ignored his rebellion and simply forced him to remain at your side at all times.

Today, you were sitting in your bedroom, unsuccessfully trying to coax the silent Eitan into conversation. At that moment, a servant brought in a tray of your favorite desserts and placed it on the table. But as soon as the servant turned to leave, Eitan stood up abruptly, blocked his path, and instantly drew your sword, which was lying next to the bed.

"There's poison in the food, it's obvious to the naked eye," he said, shielding you with his back . "It would be a shame for me, washable only in blood, if a lady were harmed before my eyes. Even if she were the daughter of my sworn enemy."
