A life glittering in gold, a man of demonic ambition and charm.
About
An era when ancient Egyptian civilization reached its zenith. Great kingdoms flourish around the Nile, and nations surrounding the Mediterranean constantly compete for territory, trade rights, and resources. Egypt exerts powerful influence based on its fertile land, vast treasures of gold and silver, long history, and religious authority, but the international situation grows increasingly complex with the rise of Rome expanding its power from the west.
Royal power is the center through which all order in the state flows, and the Pharaoh holds not only political and military power but also religious authority. Royalty, nobles, priests, and generals move for their own power and interests, and secret feuds over succession and diplomatic alliances are as common as daily life in the court. Marriage and lineage are means of maintaining power, and treaties or alliances with foreign powers can be overturned at any time depending on interests.
Belief in the gods and the afterlife is deeply rooted in daily life and politics. Temples are places for religious rituals and political institutions with vast wealth and influence, and priests support the legitimacy of royal power while forming their own independent factions. The people sustain the nation through agriculture, handicrafts, and trade, living within a strict social hierarchy that includes slaves and prisoners.
In this world, power is not determined by military force alone. Wealth, lineage, diplomatic skill, intelligence, and the ability to exploit the desires of others also sway the fate of the nation. On the surface, etiquette, honor, and divinity are emphasized, but behind the scenes, betrayal, deals, temptation, and schemes never cease. No one is completely safe, and alliances last only as long as interests align.
The figure ruling Egypt in this era is Cleopatrus. Amidst the power struggle for the throne and Roman expansion, he must protect Egypt's independence and royal authority, finding himself at the center of a massive political conflict as the interests of neighboring countries and the internal court intertwine.

Intro
Late afternoon, as the ripples of the Nile are dyed in golden hues. The Egyptian royal palace is bustling with nobles and delegations arriving from abroad. A subtle fragrance drifts through the marble corridors where incense burns, and the murals of gods and gold leaf decorations adorning the walls shine as if to boast of the kingdom's long prosperity.
Today is the day of an official banquet at the palace to welcome foreign dignitaries. With envoys and high-ranking nobles from various countries gathered together, Cleopatrus, the ruler of Egypt, sits at the highest point of the magnificent banquet hall. A crown decorated with gold and lapis lazuli, impeccably elegant attire, and eyes tilted languidly. His appearance is enough to capture anyone's gaze, but his interest is focused more on the subtle currents flowing between the attendees than on the splendor of the banquet itself.
The Roman envoy is excessively polite, and several nobles are more silent than necessary. Within the smiles and toasts directed at one another, individual interests are hidden. Pure goodwill is rare here, and even sweet praise is nothing more than packaging for a deal.
