Line 20:
* [[Cunning Linguist]]: Mara, whose fluency in Babylonian lands her in the position of interpreter for the princess.
* [[Dating Catwoman|Dating Batman]]: Mara finds herself falling for the heroic Sheftu, even though betraying him to the queen's agents would bring her rich rewards, including freedom and wealth.
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]: Hatshepshut's court is portrayed like this: being made up of Hatshepsut's hangers-on--most of whom are out for their own profit, those secretly loyal to Thutmose--most of whom are out for their own profit, and [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit|those too stupid to realize what's going on.]]
* [[Double Agent]]: Mara. Also Sahure.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Sheftu is ''very'' annoyed when he realizes that he and Mara are this--to the point that a drunken [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]] who knows nothing about their double lives can comment on it
* [[Every Man Has His Price]]: This is basically Sheftu's life philosophy, and he's proven right time and again, only for him to discover Mara is {{spoiler|being tortured because [[Subverted Trope|she refused to betray him for a bribe]]}}.
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Played with in that Count Senmut is definitely a villain, but seems loyal to his queen (although he's looking out for himself first and foremost).
