Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

26: " Duties Of A Queen "

" This should be the other way around."

"But are so comfortable! "

" Could you stop that! "Kiya said as she pushed Khai away. " Are you going to stifle yourself! "

" It is your fault you are so comfortable. "

" How is it my fault that I am top heavy," Kiya mumbled as she pouted.

"So that is what you call it, top heavy?" Khai smirked.

Kiya rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Stop being so close,"Kiya said as she squirmed out of Khai's grip.

"So did you really miss me? You are not one to miss someone so this feels like an honor. "

" We went through this, I said you were thought of and that you did cross my mind."

"You just need to admit it and stop giving your hands all of my attention,"Khai took hold of her hands.  "I know even though you look me dead in the eye, you have all your attention on those beautiful hands. You do that when you want to avoid something, like my question."

"That is not true, "Kiya defended and pulled her hands away. " Do you not have work to do?  "

" Banishing me with work? Still doing that my dear? "

" Go away, "Kiya pouted.

" You know I just love you more when you get angry with me. "

"Go!" Kiya pointed in the direction of the door.

"I want you with me. "

" What? Why? "

" You always need something to do so come with me. "

" Hmm. I like the offer but I am sure that this is also because you want company all day because you cannot satisfy with the time I already give you."

"Is it wrong to just want more of you?"

"Yes.  It is thing called being clingy. Only thing is I hate it less when you do it. "

" Really? "Khai smirked

" No, "Kiya responded blandly.

" The love will just grow stronger Kiya."

"And you will just keep getting stranger Pharaoh. "

" You know I dislike it when you call me that. "

" That was the point. "

" What are you doing instead? "

" I am supervising today, " Kiya said proudly.

" Really? "

" Yes.  The weaving and bread making,  all so interesting! "

" You love work, "Khai sighed." Help me with mine! "

" No need, you can handle it, "Kiya patted him on the shoulder.

Kiya's P. O. V

Supervising was a one the Queen's main duties. She oversaw the work of her servants to make sure it was done properly. That is what was going to do today. I can do the Pharaoh's job also but it was not meant for me. My most important job however was to give him children, preferably sons. This just dawned on me, how could I miss such an important part! The Pharaoh will always need a heir to the throne and a son preferably who is chosen by the acting Pharaoh will be heir. I mentally paced, he was bending all of his traditions to please me. Monogamous relationship was not necessarily practiced by the Royal Family, it was practiced by the 'non-royals'. However, it seemed that his parents had a Monogamous relationship and he was doing the same for he could easily talk Zahra to be his second wife and would be no problem and no one would dare to question it.
Sometimes I wish I did not know all this, I know it will happen and it is just a matter of time until I have to fulfill all my duties.

"My Queen, you have been staring at me for quite a while. Is something wrong? "Ladonna asked me.

" I was just thinking about some matters. "

" It must be important. You only get lost in thought when you think of something of great importance. "

" Can we walk? "I sighed.

" Of course we can, "Ladonna showed me the way out.

"This is a simple job and I cannot even stay focused."

"You might still be tired. "

" Ladonna, you know the responsibilities a Queen has right? "

" I do. "

" So you know which one should have been done or should be in process? "

" Yes. Oh! This is what you have been meditating on?  The Pharaoh understands My Queen. You take this small steps at a time until you can handle bigger ones. "

" But the thought of-"

"Yes the thought of it. Do not over think it. "

" Sometimes I sit down and say that will close my eyes and open them and I will wake up out of this dream then I do it and I am still here so this is very much real and I do not think I am ready to face the reality coming to me."

"No matter how much you might deny, I am not asking you if you care for him, I am telling you that you care for him very much. " She looked at me and smiled. This was the time I would find a million and one reasons why what she said was ridiculous. This was new, I was quiet. I did not even try.

I look at her and sighed. She placed a hand on my shoulder.

" Take a time to clear your head then you can return when you feel well. "

Ladonna left me at the window looking out. Time to get myself together and stop over thinking.

" Looking at your hands again, what is bothering you? "

" Nothing. "

" So are running away from your job already? "Khai asked as he came up beside me.

" I am not you remember. "

" Fine, I can understand if you do not want to speak about it. "He placed a small kiss on my forehead. Even this I was getting used to and I did not question him afterwards like before.

" Question Pharaoh? "I called out to him as he walked away.

" Of course. What is it? "He turned around.

" You always appear when something is bothering me. How do you know? "

" I guess it is a coincidence that I always have that feeling to check on you when you are sad, upset or have something on your mind. "

" Oh. That is all, thank you. "

" And Kiya, you can come to anytime if you need to talk. Night or Day, I will make time for you. "
