Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

10 : " The Art Of Sleeping "

Kiya's P. O. V

What was he trying do to me? His charm is strangling me, he wants me to give in and just take the love he has for me,so much love. I racked my brain as I soaked in my lavender and sage infused milk bath.

"My lady, " Ladonna caught my attention and pulled me out if my trance like state. "You look troubled. "

"Mhmm . Not troubled, more like deep thinking,"I replied.

"I hope it is not about the little altercation you had with Chief Xerxes. You should not worry about such trivial matters my lady. Xerxes is a stubborn man, frankly I cannot even stand the sight of the man. "

"You know about that? "I turned my face to her.

"Word gets around to us too you know,"she flashed a smile at me.

"Thank you for your concern Ladonna, but that is not the problem at all." I drew my fingers across my forehead before pressing on my temples. "This is too much for me," I sighed letting out some of my frustration.

" I have been taking notice of you and the Pharaoh and I know the Pharaoh's emotions are very strong and they are never locked up. He just let's them out. Maybe that is why he never stressed as you say. What he feels now is love and sadness,but he has so much love that it masks out the sadness of you rejecting him. "

I slowly sank downing in my bath.

"As I said my Queen, I was noticing. "

"I've soaked enough. If I say in here any longer I will dissolve," I sat upright and got the towel that Ladonna had waiting for me.

"I do not mean to frighten you my Queen but I just wish to tell you that you are here not to bring sorrow but to bring happiness and hope. I really expect that from you. " Ladonna finished.

She sent a sudden chill down my body. A shower of fear came over me. It was like she was indirectly warning me not to cause the Pharaoh any distress.

"I understand,"I replied to her.

I soon got dressed after minutes of arguing with Ladonna to let me dress myself.

"Thank you Ladonna. "

"You are a real struggle, you know that ?"

"Well yes, but it would not kill you to let me do some things myself. "

"I die a little every time you try to be independent !"Ladonna placed her hand on chest.

"Fine, you have won! "

"Of course I always do my Queen! " She flashed a quick smile at me before leaving.

I sat on the edge of the bed as I patted my wet hair. Then it hit me, where was I going to sleep?
I could never sleep with... the Pharaoh! What if I had to? Sleeping in the hallway is not a habit I would like to perfect. My brain was now into overdrive, too many questions.

"Are you doing fine? "I heard a familiar voice ask.

I turned to the direction of the voice and it was the Pharaoh. It's like all I need to do is think of him and poof! He arrives.

"Is something wrong? "He asked once more.

"Nothing is wrong, "I replied quickly.

"I will take your word for it."

"So I will be sleeping here. Is that correct? "

"Yes it is. "

"Will you also be sleeping here? "
