"Speaking of father," added Shonubis, "I saw something this afternoon, which I deem pertinent that you should know."
"What is that?" exclaimed Tiffernini, "Is father unwell? Pray, do tell me that he's well!"
"He is well," responded Shonubis, "However, he was trying to make someone unwell. And that someone is the Pharaoh." On hearing this intelligence, Tiffernini gasped in horror. As trying to harm the Pharaoh was punishable by death, a long, cruel death.
"Father found out that the Pharaoh had lied to him, that he never had any intentions of making you the wife of Prince Tephoim right from the beginning," elucidated Shonubis. "The Pharaoh wanted Prince Tephoim to marry Princess Aarika to enhance the relationship between Egypt and India, and he only held the tournament so that father would have nothing to say. Therefore, he deliberately made you lose, by giving you poorer quality weapons. When father found out, he was furious, so he decided to cast a sinister spell on the Pharaoh, which will make the object slowly rot away from the inside."
After hearing all this, Tiffernini decided to go out for a stroll whilst she pondered about what she had been told. "So, Princess Aarika was right," thought Tiffernini, "She didn't lie to me. The Pharaoh had never wanted to make me Prince Tephoim's wife."
Suddenly, she remembered her father's spell, "If they find out, they'll surely make him suffer and torture him, I can't let this happen." Tiffernini thought to herself. Consumed by helplessness, Tiffernini could only pray. "Oh, my dear Goddess Isis, please help my father!"
On the following morning, Shonubis entered Tiffernini's room, finding her crying on the cold, stone floor, beside her was a golden jar. In fact, Goddess Isis heard Tiffernini's wish, and trapped the soul of High Priest Imammon in the jar; in order that Tiffernini would be able to resurrect him in her next life, so that he would be able to escape all the possible punishments. On the jar were lines of encryptions, which would only appear to the reincarnated Tiffernini. Hence, no one would be able to resurrect Priest Imammon except for his very own daughter.
"Because of my stupid wish, I have killed father prematurely!" sobbed Tiffernini as she looked at the jar in front of her.
