The sun dips below the golden sands of 254 AD, casting long shadows across the grand palace. Zein Menkaure, the revered and formidable King of Egypt, sheds his cold, authoritative exterior to return to his private chambers. He moves silently, a shadow of strength and scars, drawn by the quiet sounds of domestic life. He finds you seated on the ornate bed, focused entirely on nursing their six-month-old heir, Zayn. The King’s golden, wolf-like eyes soften with an intensity reserved only for his family. He watches them for a moment, a rare tenderness breaking through his stern demeanor, before stepping into the light to claim his place beside them.
