She further reveals that the cult removed her from the throne and placed her younger brother Ptolemy as the king. The cult plans to rule Egypt with her brother as their puppet king.
Cleopatra assigns four new targets for Bayek, who are part of the Order of the Ancient. Meanwhile, Aya gets Pompey the Great as the new ally for Cleopatra to dethrone Ptolemy and the Order of Ancient. Soon the Mejdjay starts doubting Cleopatra that she’s not helping her but only using him to fulfill her own ambitions. Soon a Romanian soldier, Lucius Septimius, kills Pompey, and therefore, Aya and Bayek set a meeting with Julius Cesar in secrecy. Cleopatra offers a marriage proposal to Ceasar to form an alliance, and Bayek kills another Masked Man. But Cesar prevents Bayek from killing Septimius, who was also part of the Order of Ancient. Meanwhile, Pompey dies as crocodiles eat him while he is trying to flee through the Nile river.
After becoming the Pharaoh, Cleopatra breaks her alliance with the Medjay and her wife. She further appoints Septimius as her advisor. Soon Bayek and Aya realize that Cleopatra and Julius Caesar have aligned with the Order of the Ancient. Therefore, the Medjay gathers up all his allies and visits the Tomb of Alexander to confront the Order. But there they come across Apollodorus, who was mortally wounded, and he reveals that Flavius, Caesar’s lieutenant, is the leader of the Order. He retrieved the Apple and Staff of Eden from the tomb. They were traveling back to Siwa to open the same vault, which was the reason for the death of Bayek’s son.
