Rameses deserved this opportunity as Prince Regent to show his father that he would not be the weak link in the dynasty. Naturally, after the destruction of a temple earlier in the day, Seti had made him responsible for overseeing every temple in Upper and Lower Egypt. From this day forward, Rameses steeled himself. He would prove, not just to his father, but to all of Egypt, that he was a strong king, even more powerful than his own father.

He vowed from that night onwards that so long as he ruled Egypt, he would prove his worth as king.
