my skin soft and fragrant
like the petals of a flower.
:48:07
Give him to me.
:48:13
l want him at my feet.
:48:24

:48:27
(Takyan) Your Majesty has a royal visitor.
:48:41
Her Majesty and l have met before.
:48:45
My apologies to Your Majesty.
:48:47
l regret that l was unable
to be at the reception to welcome you.
:48:51
Had you been there, it would have
made my welcome complete.
:48:55
Your Majesty is gracious. Rather different
from the occasion of your last visit.
:48:59
lf l remember rightly,
Your Highness was then a king.
:49:03
Yes. And as a king, l offered you
an alliance against the Pharaoh.
:49:10
And my answer was not too kind.
:49:14
So l remember.
:49:16
This time l venture to offer you
another alliance.
:49:20
Do you come as envoy
from the king of lsrael?
:49:23
l come as Adonijah,
rightful heir to the throne of lsrael.
:49:26
An alliance between us could give us
many things we both desire.
:49:30
Do you want Sheban arms
to help you usurp your brother"s throne?
:49:34
Solomon is the usurper.
:49:35
Once l am on the throne,
our lands could encircle Egypt,
:49:38
and all of the kings
would be at our mercy.
:49:45
Why should l want them at my mercy?
:49:48
l maintain good relations with the kings.
:49:51
And King Solomon is my friend.
:49:55
So how could your offer
possibly interest me?
:49:57
Has the screaming eagle
been transformed into a cooing dove?
