Beginning of the struggle for power
In the grand state House of the Merensets,
Evthys the eldest daughter and the heiress of the Merensets family was training with her younger brother Livius,
Amen Merenset, the head of the Merenset family stood at the gate leading to the backyard garden where Evthys and her brother was training, he watched them quietly and didn't notice when Naya Merenset, his wife joined him.
Naya
Our children is now grown up, l can't believe our daughter will soon struggle for the pose of a ruler, she said
Amen sighed deeply and said
Amen
Yes and that makes me scared, in all her life she had been raised to be a ruler, but the question is will she succeed, or will she die trying?
Naya gazed at his daughter and son training and said sadly
Naya
May Amun-Ra forbid, dear never say such words, l know our daughter is stronger and will make it out alive as the rightful ruler of Egypt
Meanwhile after a long time of training, Evthys and Livius noticed their parents and Evthys called out to them
Evthys
Father, Mother come and join us
Both Amen and Naya approached them and Amen held his daughter in his arms, after a while, he leads his daughter to the garden bench and sat her down while Naya and Livius was playing
Evthys
Father what is wrong, you look out of the whether today
Amen
Ohh Evthys my dear, you know the Pharaoh is dead right?
Evthys
Yes father, my condolences
Amen smiled and stare at his daughter right in the eye
Amen
And do you know what that means
Evthys
Yes, the struggle for power, l know it father, but you should throw more light on it for me because you dodged this question whenever l asked when l was little now am all grown up
Amen
Yes, indeed, you are grown up now therefore l will explain it to you
Amen
The struggle for power is the right to get a strong and rightful Pharaoh for Egypt, it has been practiced for ages.
When Egypt became a civilized kingdom, our eldest selected Six families which was the Hemsiris family, the Merenset family, the El-Emam family, the Zulfikar family, the Abaza family and the Yeghen family. To hold power in the state, but since all family can't rule at once the struggle for power rite was introduced where each family will bring forth their eldest heir or heiress and the will engage in a temporary fight for 6 days and among all the 6 families, the heir or heiress who will make it alive will become the ruler of Egypt.
Evthys was shocked and scared
Will she be able to compete against 5 male heir or will she give up and die?
