"Do not cause trouble while I'm gone, Zahra"
You warn the pre-teen, placing a hand on the side of her face, and gently rubbing it in a comforting and warm manner.
"Don't worry, I will wait until you return, so I will be able to cause trouble freely"
You roll your eyes at her before you look for your son only to find Aten absent.
"Where is your brother?" you inquire, as she shrugs.
"I don't know, he is probably somewhere torturing some poor soul with his medical experiments," Zahra says.
Before you could say anything else, one of your soldiers announces that everything is ready for departure.
"Mama?"
"Yes, my heart?" you inquire, looking back at Zahra.
"If you don't return..." Zahra's lips quiver at the thought, but continue talking.
"...I promise you that I will torture the Kushian king in the worst way possible before skinning and burying him alive, I will also end his line in the same way"
Everyone stares at your daughter with wide eyes, while you just stand astonished in your place.
"Don't worry, your mother will return safe and sound if God wills" Qais assures her, after walking up to the both of you.
You raise an eyebrow when you see Qais dressed in traditional arab fighting attire.
"Where do you think you are going with those clothes?" Akshin demands, feeling jealousy seer inside of him.
"To war, I'm here to fight for Egypt" Hotep sneers at the reply.
"We don't need your help, I pretty much doubt that you have the strength to fight off anyone" Hotep mocks.
"Fight for Egypt? More like fight for (Y/n)" Akshin adds bitterly.
"(Y/n) is Egypt" Qais stares at you with a smile as he words out this sentence.
"And I'm ready to die for Egypt"
You flush at his words, while Zahra rolls her eyes at her father.
"No wonder why mama didn't marry you yet, those sentences are not worth it, Baba"
"Zahra your tongue will get you in trouble" you scold your daughter softly.
"Don't worry, my Pharaoh, your daughter, and son is in safe hands with me" Your right hand, Akhn assures you.
"I know... Where the hell is Kaveh?"
꧁𓅓꧂
Kaveh sits side by side with Aten after disguising themselves.
"I hope your mother doesn't get angry at me for bringing you along"
"You act as if you didn't sneak behind my mother's back to go to war"
Kaveh narrows his eyes as the Egyptian prince smirks at him.
"You better put my teachings to use, unless you want to die a humiliating death" The Persian prince smugly states.
"I will also use Qais' teachings"
Kaveh looks away, feeling jealous, thinking that Aten considers Qais more of a father to him.
Aten noticed Kaveh's hint of annoyance and sadness.
"But your war strategy is better, Baba"
Kaveh's eyes widen at the familial title.
"Did you just call me-"
"Yes, I did, if I die, I want you to know that I consider you as a second father to me"
"Who is your first?"
"Qais, is that even a question?"
꧁𓅓꧂
"No" Zahra exclaims without giving a second thought to the question she was asked.
"You always wanted to travel, did you not?"
"To countries, not through time, Satan"
The devil rolls his eyes, while the young Egyptian princess reads a scroll
"It will be more fun"
Zahra sighs, moving the scroll away from her
"I know, but I don't worry my mother, what if she returns and doesn't find me?" Zahra points out.
Satan titles his head, yet his smirk doesn't leave his face.
"Silly you, I promise to return you home right before she returns" the young girl's eyes lighten up.
"Really?"
"Of course, when did I ever break my promises"
Satan puts his hands out for Zahra, in which she takes.
"Now, where time do you want to travel to first?"
