Akila,
The second queen watched silently as her servants and the guards carried everything outside.
Today was the day to leave the palace and start their hunting trip.
Ramses had come and visited her once and for a week after she didn't see his face and she was cooped up in her quarters ever since.
But honestly, she didn't mind being left alone. After living in that small house, being here felt overwhelming.
She didn't appreciate the crowded quarters and loud noises. Or even the visitors who came to pay their respect.
Akila saw how false and cheap their act was, and those nobles weren't even worth her breath.
But she had to smile and meet them. She has a duty and a role as the second queen.
And that was the reason why she was now sitting alone, watching the bustling palace and the happy people around her.
Heba and Ebony were especially excited about this trip, and they tried to lighten her mood as they kept talking about it.
