Chapter 27

Anhur's POV

Bakari just sent me a message saying Izna's sick. Time for me to start acting. I need to bewitch her with my charms in order to take over the throne. My queen wait for me!! Your beloved evil prince is about to strike your heart.

Nephthys's POV

Phew!! Today's boring court session is finally over. I can now spend my precious time with Izna.

"Great Pharaoh please wait." Lapis stops me.

"What now old hag?"

"I need to talk to you about something very important."

"Not now."

"It's really important."

"Nephthys listen to her for a while please." Izna puts her hand on my chest. Praise the god!! My heart almost stops.

"S...sure...my queen."

"Ok then. I'll be waiting. Come to my palace once you're done."

After Izna leaves I turn to Lapis.

"Start talking."

"Great Pharaoh. Our kingdom in the south is in crisis right now. We were attacked several times and the defenses grew weaker."

"Send more troops from the capital."

"We can't leave the capital unprotected."

"So? What do you want me to do?"

"We can make a peace truce with the warlord."

"How?"

"He has 7 daughters, no sons. He has no successor. If you propose to marry one of her daughters, a peace truce can be made."

"What did you just say?"

"I am saying if you marry..."

*Slap*

"How dare you! You're trying to sell me off for a land?"

"Great Pharaoh I'm...."

"SHUT UP!!! I'm already married!! Get this inside your head very clearly. There will be no woman between me and my queen."

"Please..."

"One more word and I will feed you to crocodiles."

This despicable woman! She thinks she can use me as a political pawn. I will never sell myself. There's only one woman in my eyes. That woman is Izna. My heart, my soul and my body everything belongs to her.
