Chapter 21

Izna's POV

Nephthys just sent me a royal order saying he demands to sleep together tonight. I should have seen this coming.

"What do I do Horus?"

"There's nothing we can do now. You have to do this."

"Sigh!"

"Please endure with it for a little bit. I'll meet prince Seth and ask for his advice."

The following night....

I'm waiting in his chamber all dressed up.

"So you've come."

"Yes great Pharaoh."

"How many times I told you to call my name."

"I apologise, Nephthys. Shall we begin?"

I start taking off my clothes. He stops me instantly.

"Do you think I'm a hungry monster? I'm only after your body?"

"Pardon me but I thought you want me to give birth to your child as soon as possible."

"No I don't want that. I called you because we're drifting away from each other. You don't want to spend time with me anymore. This isn't what I want. I want you to love me. I want a child but only when you want one too."

"Oh."

"I get it Izna. I was away from home for long. You were lonely that's why you choose Seth. But I'm back now. I will take care of you. I will love you so don't go to other men."

He hugs me tightly for the rest of the night.

Maybe he isn't the monster I thought he is.

Next morning....

"Your majesty! Was the Pharaoh kind to you? Did he hurt you? Torture you?"

"No Horus he didn't. He was very kind and sweet."

"You must not be deceived. Royals are very skilled at deceiving others. He might have any other motives. Please be careful."

Right then Seth barges in.

"What's the matter? You look tensed."

"Izna you won't believe this."

"What?"

"Nephthys just sent me a dancer prostitute. He wants you to misunderstand me."

"He did that?"

"He didn't do it personally. He made one of his underlings do it."

"I understand Seth."

"Be careful Izna. I think someone's backing him up from behind."

He kisses my forehead and leave.

I should have known. Nephthys acting all lovey dovey was suspicious. So this was his true motive. He wants to devide all of us. If it's true then he must've made moves on other princes too. I need to talk to my brother.

"Horus send a message to royal court that I'm sick. I can't attend today."

"Yes your majesty."

"And prepare a carriage I'm going to meet my brothers."
