Chapter 32

Seth's POV

Although Izna told me to go somewhere safe. Now that I know I'm going to be a father I can't run away abandoning my woman and child. I have to make sure I can save them before Nephthys finds out. If he finds out she's pregnant with my child he will kill her for sure. I still remember what father did to her mother and her siblings.

I turn to a different road after halfway. I know someone who can help me.

Anhur's POV

An unexpected guest. I never thought Seth will come here.

"Welcome to my shabby home brother. What brings you here?"

"I need your help brother."

"Whoa! Easy! Don't panic. Tell me what happened?"

"Nephthys framed me. He said I raped a child and ordered to send me to jail. I escaped."

"You can stay hidden here. I will protect you."

"I don't need protection. I need your warriors. I know you want to be the Pharaoh. We can defeat him together."

"We can't act on a whim. First we need a plan then find people inside royal palace who can be bought with money. We have to be patient and wait for right moment."

"I don't have time. I need to save Izna."

"WHAT?? Did he send her to prison too?"

"No but he might. She's pregnant with my child. If he finds out he will kill her."

His words crack like thunder in my head. What did he say? WHAT IN THE WORLD HE JUST SAID!!!! She's pregnant with his child? No! No! No! My dreams! My dreams of marrying my queen, ruling the lands together with her, starting a family. He spoiled everything. He took away my queen, my family, my dreams. What will I do with a throne if I don't have my queen by my side? This man has to die!

"I understand brother. She's my family too. I will make sure to protect her. Come let's go to the training grounds for a friendly duel. This will calm your mind. Then we can discuss about our plans." I stay calm outside.

"Sure."

After fighting with him for a while, I understand I can't defeat him hand to hand. He's not even paying attention but still winning. I wonder if he fights seriously how long I can stand.

"Brother you have a unique way of fighting. I've never seen a warrior hold his weapons with two hands."

"It's because my thumb was cut off I can't hold a sword properly."

"Yet you're so strong. I can't even match your speed. Let's go have a drink. I'm too tired."

"Alright."

He's not paying attention to me at all. He's thinking about something else. I take this opportunity to poison his drink. He takes it without looking. Perfect!! The poison is tasteless. It should start working in a few moments. I'm not cheap or anything. It's just I need to fulfill my dreams no matter what. And this man can't be defeated in a battle.

"Brother I'm not feeling well."

"Maybe because you traveled too far that's why you're tired. Please lay down for a bit."

"Thanks."

Yes that's what I need. He will die quietly. Sorry brother but you were between me and my dreams. I order Bakari to take his body and place it in front of the capital's entrance.

I was about to laugh at my slyness when Qebeh walks in.

"I thought Seth was with you."

"He left."

"He left without speaking to me?"

"Yes he was in a hurry. He's really tensed about Izna."

"Izna? What happened to Izna?"

"You didn't know? She's pregnant with his child."

"What? She is? Praise the gods."

"Qebeh go and unite your men. We need to act quickly and save her from Nephthys."

"Absolutely! I can't let him do the same he did to Sheila."
