"For our bond to become even stronger," "I wish to offer you my daughter Makeda." "An accident at the construction site of the Treasury..." "Don't jeopardize the valuable lives of the workers and give me time for the construction." "I only wish to know when the Treasury will be finished!" "The misfortune of the Treasury is real." "Your men will perish miserably...!" "Because the King is having build a Treasury, our men must die...?" "To the Pharaoh!" "Pharaoh, give us back our men!" "Think of the children!" "Are you ready to offer the Gods a morning sacrifice?" "Lord of the Heavens, Father of the Gods, the King is facing you, to thank you in this morning hour."

"He kidnaps her on his raft that transports wood and valuables for the Pharaoh's new Treasury." "Second Act" "Samlak, King of Ethiopia, and his daughter Makeda are arriving at the Pharaoh."

"I will do anything to win your heart." "But I pardoned him?" "...pardoning with lifelong forced labor in the stone pit!" "Those are your important state affairs." "Didn't you guarantee to bring me back the stolen slave?" "Infuriated because Amenes refuses to hand over the slave to Theonis, the Ethiopians are departing." "Fourth Act" "...and all of this because of a foreign girl!" "Are you aware that you're bringing your country into a war?" "...and all of this because of a slave!" "No, because of a Queen." "Bless her!" "The Queen will be shown to the people." "Don't you want to come to go see her?" "Long live the Queen!" "War!" "The Ethiopians are crossing the country scorching and killing." "Before going off to war against the Ethiopians," "Amenes asks Theonis for a vow of fidelity." "She refuses when she hears that Ramphis and the prisoners escaped from the stone pit." "The Pharaoh, who has to give up hope for her love, has her being fixed into the walls of the Treasury, and Sothis, who knows the secret gate, will be blinded." "Father!"

"If you want to see Theonis alive, do not humiliate her, she is my wife." "Forgive me that I want to save you." "I stand before you so pure, as I am leaving you." "Where is the King?" "We don't have any accurate news yet." "King Amenes is dead." "If you deliberately extradite the Queen, King Samlak will pardon you."

"Anyone who has something to say in favor of the dead, please come forward." "No exception, Queen Theonis, for your sake..." "Amenes, you are guilty, no grievance about you." "Your name will be obliterated forever." "Let's leave this place, now that I'm free." "You aren't free." "You have the duty to heal the wounds of your people." "They are suffering because of you." "The power is in your hands now to choose for your people a righteous King" "Please save the people from another Tyran and choose the most worthy King." "Who do you think is most worthy?" "He is your King!" "You are the hope of the people." "It is your holy duty..." "The Egyptians are celebrating the new King." "Don't you know me, your King Amenes?" "This fool imagines he is King Amenes!" "Where is Theonis?" "Are you lamenting me?" "Who is your King?" "I claim my wife!" "The King too is subjected to the commandments of the Gods." "Give me Theonis!" "He betrayed you for the woman's sake." "Our man have been slaughtered for the sake of this woman." "Stone them!" "Spare them!" "Amenes begs the people to spare Theonis, to no avail." "He also begs them to kill him as well." "Instead, he again is crowned Pharaoh." "With the crown on his head, he falls dead from the throne."
