Adonis followed his father to the meeting room.When they got there Pharaoh suddenly stopped and looked at his son.

Pharaoh: Son...we have to talk.You see one day you have to take my place and be the new Pharaoh. You have to take responsibility. How many years do i have to wait for you to grow up?

Adonis : Father listen...

Pharaoh: No! No more listening! You need to finally grow up . Tomorrow is my last feast of Sent* . You are almost 18 years old. Soon it will be your coronation ceremony.

Adonis : I understand ...

Pharaoh : You do not understand anything . You have half a year to conform AND to find a suitable woman to be your wife!

Adonis : Father ! We already discussed about this.I'll choose when i'm ready I don't...

Pharaoh: No! You'll never be ready if you go on like this.From tomorrow on i'll invite every woman of high status so you can start searching . That's for now. You can leave .

Adonis : You didn't even listen to me! You can't do this to me.

But his father had already left . Adonis was frustrated .How could his father do this to him , he thought.He couldn't stand it anymore so he went to his room , changed his outfit to something more simple and got ready to escape.When he went to the gates he saw one of his fathers guards. He must have done this on purpose. So he can check on his son. Adonis on the other hand was used to it so he already knew what to do.When he finally tricked the soldier , he jumped from the fence near the gates and got out on his way to the market.

Market

When he made it there , he went straight to his favorite shop. There they sold all kinds of food . Also the owner already knew him and Azar .

Adonis: Hello Seti . How was your day.

Seti: Adonis! How are you ?

Adonis: I'm good . What can i buy today?

Seti: Choose whatever you want.

Adonis: Thank you.

Just then a merchant who sold fabrics passed in front of him.

Adonis : wow ! What a variety of fabrics!

Seti : This merchant is new here .He came with his family from Greece .

Adonis : so that's why the fabrics seem different. I'll go and take a look.Bye Seti.

Adonis got close to this new shop

Merchant : Hi . How can i help you sir?

Adonis: Hi . I was just looking. I heard that you are not from here.

Merchant : Yes. Me and my family came here from Greece.

Adonis: You have many precious fabrics there. Amazing

Merchant : thank you sir. You can choose one.The first it's free.

Adonis : Thank you so much .

Adonis started looking at the fabrics with great interest. When he looked up to face the merchant he saw that  one of his fathers soldiers started to get close to him.

Adonis : I have to go!

He started running from the opposite direction from where the soldier was.After a while he looked behind him to see where the guard was and fell into someone. He quickly got up and offered his hand to the person who fell on. She took his hand and as she stood up her face was getting more clear.Adonis couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was so beautiful like a goddess. He wanted to talk to her but the guard was already there. So he started running again but before he went back he looked at the young woman.

Adonis: I'm Adonis...
