Chapter 89: A Dream of Two Thousand Years
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Fina! Fina!" An empty sound came from the end of the night sky.
"Fina! Fina!" A faraway sound traveled from the depths of the ground.
"Fina! Fina!" A dim sound came from the ancient prehistoric times.
Fina woke up.
It was she!
This sound, this smell, these footsteps, it was her!
She was here!
Fina raised her head suddenly, jumped down from the solitary deity throne, and ran towards her as fast as she could. In the magnificent palace, there were countless big cats and kittens resting there. But they could only play around under the deity throne, and did not dare to take even one step closer. This was Fina’s magical palace; this deity throne belonged to Fina!
The mysterious jade that came from the East, the fine silverware from the North, the big gem from the South, and the countless amount gold… these massive treasures were stacked like mountains and were reduced to cat toys. Fina turned a blind eye to her companions, as well as to the shining treasures. Her eyes were fixed on the silhouette of the person holding the corner of a skirt, who was flying towards her. She was calling out to Fina, and she needed Fina.
She kneeled on the soft carpet of sheep wool and opened her arms to hug Fina tight. Her long, slender fingers went into Fina’s fur and felt her warmth, and her cheeks caressed Fina’s neck as she said, "Fina, my Fina, how are you?" Fina opened her mouth and had a lot of things she wanted to tell her, but could only produce a cry of "meow". Fina remembered that she still couldn’t speak at that time.
Why? Why must you have me go through this kind of pain again?
"Fina, Fina, why is your heart beating so fast? Is it because you really missed me? I also missed you a lot too. I think of you every day." She hugged Fina tightly, and they listened to each other’s heartbeats.
Meow, meow! I missed you so much, I missed you so much! I don’t want to lose you again!
"Fina, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" She placed her mouth by Fina’s ears and whispered gently.
Meow, meow! Don’t say it! Don’t say it!
"Alright, I will tell you the bad news. My younger brother is about to make a move on me. You also know, my evil younger brother, my weak and feeble younger brother, he always wanted to have his cat replace you. Such a good-for-nothing younger brother who actually want to make a move on his older sister! But I will not sit still. I am already prepared, because I had expected this day to come. There is only one true pharaoh, and that is I. No one can replace my position, not even my family!" She laughed, but there was no joy in her smile at all. "I also don’t want it to be like this, but I have no choice. If I don’t do this, then I will only die, or be imprisoned and exiled. I don’t want that to happen, Fina, I don’t want that to happen! I want the deity kingdom to be eternally immortal, and let the quartet bow to the minister!"
The hand that was stroking the fur on Fina’s back suddenly stopped. This was a sign that she was about to make a great decision. Fina knew. Fina knew everything. History was repeating itself, and she had to make the decision that would be very painful for Fina once again. "Those who are loyal to me are too few. My army cannot match him. If we fight face-to-face, then we would probably be crushed and defeated. But I will also tell you good news—Caesar is coming, Julius Caesar! The great Caesar, invincible Caesar! As long as we draw support from his power, we will definitely be able to defeat my younger brother, and revive the deity kingdom!"
Meow, meow, meow!
Fina pulled on her arm tightly, and exhausted everything in attempt to stop her. It was of no use. Everything had already happened, and nothing could be changed. She gently pulled Fina aside, and used the corner of her clothes to wipe the tears that were gushing out of Fina’s eyes. "But Fina, that great Caesar, that invincible Caesar, he’s actually afraid of cats! Isn’t that ridiculous? When I had just heard of this, I laughed until my legs were soft. Fina, it seems that you are the invincible one. The great Fina, the invincible Fina!" She smiled even more joyfully, but her expression looked like she was about to cry.
Fina shook her head. Don’t go, and don’t go to see Caesar! Caesar would be assassinated, and although Anthony was of no use, we could think of other ways. We don’t necessarily have to rely on the power of the Romans!
Fina already knew the trend of history, but she still didn’t know. She was like a moth that longed for happy days, but was rushing towards blazing flames instead. Fina could not say anything, and could only wail sadly. "Fina, I’m very sorry, but we have to be separated for a period of time. I can’t take you to see Caesar who’s afraid of cats. Otherwise, I will not be able to establish a covenant with Caesar." Her fingers gently wandered around on the top of Fina’s head, and caressed the crease between her eyebrows. "You shall wait patiently for me in the deity palace. Wait for me to complete a great cause using Caesar, and then I will come back to find you. At that time, we will never separate again. Forever won’t separate."

Big liar.
Big liar!
You will be lost in the endless struggle for power, and will never return!
She kneaded her knees and stood up. Fina stretched out her claws and desperately hooked onto the corner of her skirt, not letting her leave. This departure was goodbye forever. She bent down and gently kissed Fina’s forehead. "Fina, I know you are very worried about me, but I must go. I am Cleopatra VII, the pharaoh of the black land, the guardian of the immortal deity kingdom, and maintaining the deity kingdom is my life’s mission!" She wanted to protect the deity kingdom, but Fina wanted to protect her.
"Fina, my trip may not be a success. Caesar might accept me, or he might take me into bondage and give me to my younger brother. I don’t know which possibility is greater either, but I have to try. If I fail—" She hesitated for a moment, then spat out the bitter words, "If I fail, I will not live in degradation either, and have people regard me as a trophy…If I fail, the deity kingdom will probably be destroyed, and there will be no seat for me in the big pyramid…Fina, do you still remember the place where we first met? I will build my mausoleum there. If I fail…go there to see me whenever you think of me." She took off the gold necklace on Fina’s neck that was full of gems, and wore it on her own neck. "With your necklace accompanying me, I will not feel lonely anymore."
"Goodbye, Fina!"
She stood suddenly and straightened her body. The majesty and firmness of a pharaoh had made her face hard and cold, as if she was wearing a gold mask.
Ridicule!
She disregarded the corner of her skirt that was torn by Fina, and resolutely turned her head and left. Her figure slowly melted in the sunlight outside of the deity palace.
Meow, meow! Don’t go!
Don’t go!
Fina wanted to chase her and stop her, but her body had become stiff and she could not move.
"Don’t go!"
Fina woke up suddenly at the same time she shouted out these words.
The stars were shining through the windows onto the veil of the princess bed. She curled her body up, and there was an empty piece in her heart that left a pain that could not be erased for eternity. Suddenly, she could not differentiate clearly between which side was reality and which side was a dream.
"Fina!"
"Fina!"
There was another person calling her again. The voice was very near, and very real. She lifted the curtains with her claws, leapt down from the princess bed, followed the sound up the stairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Zhang Zian sleeping in a poor position on his bed and muttering in his sleep.
"Fina! Don’t snatch it…that’s my money…"
Fina was speechless, "…"
This man was no doubt a mortal, not an ancient Roman consul, and not the pharaoh of the black land; but such a trivial mortal she was dreaming of. Would he leave her for greatness and glory like she did? Fina didn’t know, but she decided that she would give him a chance. When Zhang Zian was sleeping soundly, his phone lit up, and a hint flashed across the screen then immediately went out again.
