Love, Friendship, Betrayal

Spia found the queen, when princess Sakhbe freed her from the sadist prince. Spia was about to kill Henshu with her knife but since they became close, Spia fell for the queen that instead of kocking the queen with her knife she grabbed Henshu from her colar and kissed her mouth aggressively. Henshupta pushed Spia and slapped her. Spia laughed and said that she should run away now or else she will kill her when she has the chance to fulfill her mission. Henshupta is a warrior but for more than a year that she was held captive, Hekanefer broke her, feeling vulnerable, she ran and cried out how unfortunate her stars were for her. Henshupta is cursing the gods for her misfortune....and

Hah…hah….hah…, a dream?! Just a silly dream! Haaa…being pharaoh has gotten me so much that I take back what I said about ruling Egypt. I didn't know being pharaoh entailed so much responsibility that my life is always in grave danger and that my seat is always being taken away from me, Henshupta thought now sobbing. Father!!!! Oh father, where are you when I needed you?, Pharaoh, now walking towards the window of a home Hekanefer rented for a while since they needed to stay put to prepare for their travel to Cairo in a few days.

This is unacceptable!! I thought Spia already killed her?, General Jardin-Ur said angrier than ever towards the fact that the pharaoh is still alive. Who general?, one of the spy asked. Henshupta, the pharaoh? Are you kidding me, you didn't know that you are ordered to look for the queen's whereabouts and if Spia took care of her??? the gods must have abandoned me for having stupid spies to do one single job, and haven't done it well. Should I do everything around here?

His spies advising him just now that the queen still leaves and that they couldn't find her now in whole of Sudan. He paused for a bit and shoved his hand for the spies to leave his presence. Meraek wanted to talk with Jardin-Ur so she walked in the middle of the palace hall towards the receiving area, thus, overheard Jardin-Ur and Sadiki talking.

It is about Henshupta and they found her. Meraek's heart suddenly warmed and felt happy. My love is still alive and I am excited to see her again. When will it happen? I deeply miss you my queen, your touch and you that I have been missing so. You're so addictive that I need you inside me always!, Meraek thought while holding her chest thinking that her heart would leap out of it.

You told me that you'll take care of Henshupta. How come it's taking this long. It's been more than a year and nothing good has come off it but anxiety and fear. I think Henshupta will kill me and I know she already knows about what I did!, Jardin-Ur said trembling.

You are afraid of a girl posing as pharaoh and queen of Egypt? Are you out of your mind, she is just a girl!, Sadiki added laughing his heart out. Sadiki, you don't know how Henshupta is. She isn't called Khons if she is just an ordinary girl. She is pharaoh and I know she is near. She will take back Egypt, and you nor my troops can do anything about it.

Hekanefer sent his Aput (messenger) to advise his fifteen thousand soldiers, archers to go to Egypt to protect the queen and his people from the infantry general. General Gyasi Om of the Chariotry and General Omari Amne of the Navy helped Sabah and Angianasim to overthrow Jardin-Ur. Though Jardin-Ur thought Sabah and Meraek are his allies, Angianasim advised them not to disclose their plans or else they will all be thrown in prison for this.

Jardin-Ur is now gaining advances since Henshupta isn't here to interfere. The council elders is scared of Sadiki since he had been throwing elder after elder if they negate the order of the infantry general. But Jardin-Ur is still trembling from the fact, the thought, that Heshupta might be near and that it's just a matter of time when she kills him, when she cuts off his head from his betrayal against her and against Egypt. He betrayed and disappointed them all including Anhemnotep, who he also knew as someone close thus cared for him like his own father. But he will not back down and will fight to the death if it comes to that.

Meraek is stroking the general's hair as they lay on the grassy ground of the palace garden. She has grown so close to Jardin-Ur that she didn't want him to get hurt too. What are you thinking about? 

My life…, Jardin-Ur said then paused as if his mind flew somewhere far and then came back all of a sudden with…

and how I wanted to become a general ever since I joined the infantry at a very young age!

Ah! Did you have any regrets as a general? You have come a long way and I'm so proud of you for doing this for the queen. I'm so happy that you are a strong and kind general to Egypt!, Meraek added smiling and holding Jardin-Ur's face when sat up and looked to face her.

Meraek, promise me that whatever happens, you will continue to live happy with no regrets, okay?, Jardin-Ur said then kissed Meraek's lips lovingly.

What are you talking about? We're still going to get married, right? You'll still see me and our ba…., Meraek added but interrupted by Jardin-Ur, placing his fingers on her mouth.

Promise me…, Jardin-Ur insisted. Yes, I promise, Meraek replied her heart starting to feel worried, sad now.

Henshupta, Hekanefer, Spia and the soldiers travelled to the boarder of Egypt and a few more days they will cross Cairo and it's just 419 miles to Thebes. Hekanefer's troops of fifteen thousand is about to cross the border of Egypt. They are moving fast since they aren't using horses but chariots and new aged transportation vehicles called 'chariots of fire'. These are chariots that have six or nine horses pulling a bigger holder that can fit two or more soldiers inside it. It's economical and can move twice as fast than a single chariot with two of four horses. When it runs through the sandy outskirts of Sudan and Egypt, the wheels turn fast that the dust it produces are like fire that catches that burning heat of the sun. They are so magnificent that only the gods would see, thus, this day is one of the greatest time in history where Nubians and Egyptians will fight a battle everyone will hold in their hearts as one of the memorable battles to hit the history books after many years meeting with the new generations in the world.
