Egypt's Treasure ~Completed~

Chapter 30

3rd POV:

His sight blur and every movement it felt like a slow pace. He keeps stuggering left to right trying to walk straight.

His body was becoming heavy. I must be drunk. This wine is such a good one, I should thank Magnolia for it. He thought to himself.

His smile faded as the time he feel the time his body wanted to give up. His body heated up and his emotions becoming frustrated.

" Your Majesty". A woman figure, dressed in a soft dress, flowing as she comes closer to reach out to Cairo who is stumbling down on the ground.

The woman hurry to him.

Peony?

He thought to himself, the Pharaoh who was deeply in love to his wife menstion her name with great care.

" Yes, Cairu. It is me ". The woman who is seem to be Nepthys replied, caress the man's face and slowly raise him up to walk to the bed.
With full strength Cairu pull Nepthys to his arm with him and fall together on the bed.

" Please, stay with me. Just for tonight ". The Pharaoh begged.

" If that's what my husband wished ". Nepthys embrace Cairu.

The moment that Cairu wished for was to finally hold his beloved goddess.
He kissed the woman he was finally holding, with gentle caress and kisses. Going slowly as he can all through out the night.

The night which he did not expect to become the nightly passion.

Somehow, even all those feelings poured and being shared all through out the night, the Pharaoh doubted his beloved Queen. It feel so unreal. If it was a dream he does not want to wake up. But something is wrong, something had to go wrong.

Who is this woman.

Peony's POV:

Hours pass by like it was nothing. Since the morning comes there were no signs of the Pharaoh.

He is supposed to be here. Why has he not here yet? This is unlikely of him.

The feeling of nervousness and worry make brows and temples frown. Everyone was waiting for the Pharaoh inside the main hall where peace treaty is being held for other foreign and neighbouring country.

He had plan all this days after the wedding to show how Egypt a friendly country to others and be at peace.

The murmuring of the other representatives, scribes, nobles and royals whisper. I watch in silence waiting for my husband to show up and seat on the throne.

" My Queen ". The General Haetu lean a bit and whispered, " I have sent a female servant to call upon his Majesty ".

My eyes glance to each of them waiting for the elephant in the room.
I exhaled air out. I cannot let this people wait in vain and boredom.

" Let us enjoy while we wait for the Pharaoh. It is good that we entertain ourselves for a while ". I chuckle and ordered to let the Egyptian dancers and musician to come forth and entertain the guest.

Somehow the calamity was dodged.
My patient's grow thinner when the Pharaoh still haven't shown himself yet.

" Where is the female servant you told me who fetched the Pharaoh ?! " I said whispering to Haetu.

Is expression was something I was not expected. He shake his he a not knowing where Cairu was, the female servant has not arrived either.

I sigh in frustration. I might have to find him myself.
