Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

4: " Coming Back "

Kiya's P. O. V

As he started to tell his story, something clicked in my head. I knew that story. Then it hit me. I was about seven years old. I remembered telling my Mom that he must have been lonely. Mom said it was just a story. I don't know how this is possible but now I have no reason to say it is impossible, but how am I to take on a role like that.

"I can't do that, "I said. " This is all happening so fast."

His face looked disappointed. I was running away from something I haven't done before. It was the fact that I've never done it before that makes me want to run away.

He held his head down and is grip on the railing tighten. At this rate it looked as if he would rip it off and slap me with it.

"Thousand of years waiting. I guess a few more won't kill me any more, "he loosened his grip and turned to me. " At least you are here. " He turned and left me on the balcony.

" Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I scolded myself as I used palm to hit my forehead and regretted the action immediately. "Ow."

"If you behave like that, you might never heal. "

I turned around.

" I am Rada, one of your personal hand maids. At your service, my Queen, " she bowed.

" I need your aid. "

I walked back in the room and sat on the bed.

" What is the matter at hand my Queen? "

" How am I to be Queen? "

" That is not something I can help with my Queen. Everyone has different methods of doing things. Some cut the reeds and some pull them out. "

" Did your Pharaoh pass you? "

" He did. "

I sighed. I let down somebody I barely knew. That makes me disappointed in myself."

"This is new to you, but the Gods knew why they chose you. He had faith in them and waited for you. He did not know you in anyway. Even when he was called mad and told that he was destroying royal blood lineage that did not break master at all. I don't think you would want him to go through all that again. I think it would be worse since you are here and you are to prove everyone wrong and help him. "

She was totally correct. I felt horrible backing out on him like that.

" All those years are long time to wait for someone, "I said softly.

" It's a long time to trust them too, "Rada added.

I paused for some seconds then took a deep breath." I will not let this nation down, I will not let myself down and I will not throw five thousand years of disappointment on him."

"Your spirit is strong my Queen. You will need to get ready, "Rada smiled. " Starting as a Queen, the dress is an important role it distinguishes you as royalty. "

She made a signal in the direction of the door. From there I saw Ladonna emerged.

" Trust us to get you ready your highness,"they said in unison.

"To freshen up would be a great start,"Ladonna said as I was pulled into a different room that was parted by a stringed curtain of shells and glass beads.

"Here is where you will do that," Rada showed me a magnificent bath and burning essential oils where the sent of almonds filled the air and placed my mind at ease.

"Your bath is ready my Queen, "I was told by a young lady I did not recognize.

The colour of the water was milky white.
I was hesitant to make any moves to get in there.
