Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

46: " Celebrations "

"Ladonna if you add any more jewelry on me I will fall over when I am to walk."

"I apologize My Queen. I just want you to look the best in the room."

"Thank you but I will not look the best if I fall over on my face."

"But My Lady you have to-"Kiya cut her off.

"Do not worry please. Everything will go according to plan. Plus you will have to take of everything and put on different ones soon."

Ladonna sighed deeply as she slipped into her sadness when she did not get her way. "As you wish." She draped the final layer of cloth over her shoulder and smiled in approval. "Perfect!"

Kiya stood up adorned in her signature colours of gold and blue. With her top stopping above her navel and an ocean blue sheer clipped to her left shoulder as an asymmetrical cape the dragged on the floor behind her along with her flowing skirt . The golden cuffs around her arms, an anklet around her right foot and her crown of a golden cobra.

"My Lady ?" Nathifa knocked.

"Yes come in."

"My Lord is ready and waiting for you. Shall we take you too him."

Kiya nodded and she was followed by the hand maidens who look uniformed behind having her asymmetrical cape flowing behind them. They met up with the Pharaoh further down the hallway who was patiently waiting for her with Re on his shoulder  showing off his small clothes specially made for him.

Kiya stopped beside Khai.

"I don't understand why you are outshining me on my own birthday,"Khai smiled as he took her hand.

"You will have to ask Ladonna that question," Kiya replied.

"Hmm. Shall we go and make our appearance ?"

"Whenever you are ready,"Kiya said.

They entered the large dining hall now packed with all the important men and women that stretched across Egypt. Silence covered the room before whispers emerged from the crowd.

"Who is this girl?"

"No one really knows."

"What happened to Princess Zahra?"

"Why is this girl here?"

"Is she even royalty?"

"How can the royal bloodline keep going?"

"I heard she enchanted him."

"Is she a sorceress?"

"I heard maybe a witch, a worker of dark magic ."

"Is the Pharaoh really under dark magic by her?"

"Hold your head up my Queen. You know these accusations are false,"Ladonna whispered.

Khai's grip on her became tighter.

Kiya took a deep breath. "Not welcomed am I?" She turned to Khai . He could tell that the untrue words of the crowd were hurting her. He stopped at the head of the table.

"A witch?" He shouted at the top of his voice. "Would like to step in front of her...Your Queen and say it to her face and then turn to me... Your Pharaoh and say it to my face? After that let me ask if you plan to turn back around with intentions of being alive? You will be kill where you stand by me with my own hands. " He cleared his throat and looked around the room with a smile on his face. "Any volunteers ?"

Re jumped up and down on his shoulder before going to Kiya and clinging on to her clothing protectively as if to defend his owner.

"I thought as much. No one wants to die, especially on my birthday. So, let us celebrate life...not death." He turned to Kiya before sitting down. Slowly sat beside him and gave him a soft smile.
