Chapter 31

Izna's POV

(Few weeks later)

Nephthys was really really mad this time. He used all of his powers to corner us. He took away everything Seth received from his mother using royal orders. Then eventually the titles and gifts he received from army were taken away. He even tried to frame him in false crimes. A maid actually came up to the royal court saying Seth raped her child. I know this was all made up. Nephthys must have bribed her to do this. I had no other choice but to send him away to some safe place.

"Seth! What are you doing here? Why didn't you leave?"

"I had to see you one more time before I leave."

"Crazy!! Stupid!!!"

He comes closer and hugs me tightly.

"I know its stupid but I can't survive without seeing your face."

"Me too but I'm doing this for us. You have to stay alive for me, for your child."

"Child?"

"Yes I'm pregnant."

"Praise the gods!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier? This... is ..... how do I say this?? I'm the happiest man of Earth right now."

"Hey...are you crying?"

"I'm just too happy. I don't know what to do."

"Please stay safe for us. please."

"Izna how can I leave now? I have to take you with me. I can't go without you and our baby."

"No I can't go. It's a long way. My health is not suitable for traveling right now."

"I.. I.. understand. I'll come back soon. I will unite my brothers and take down Nephthys. Then we can go away from this madness and start a family."

"Where will we go?"

"To my mother's homeland. I bet my uncles will protect us."

"I hope so. You should go now."

"I don't want to go."

"Please don't say that. You're breaking my heart. We have to go though this."

"Izna I love you."

"I love you too Seth."

We kiss for a long time.

"I will definitely come back for you and our baby." He gives me an amulet. "Wear this. It will give you strength."

"May the goddess protect you."

I watch him leave. He turns back over and over with tears in his eyes. I stand still. As soon as he goes out of my sight, I burst into tears.

"Your majesty please don't cry."

"Horus! What sin have I done to deserve this?"

"Please come inside. It's cold here. Not good for the baby."

He picks me up in his arms and take me in my chamber.
