Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

48: " The Calming "

"You would not believe the nonsense they were saying, especially Therois,"Kiya sighed.

"I heard Therois' voice from here and then I heard yours so I came out to see who I had to fight... I was ready to fight and then I saw Princess Zahra. There would have been murder!"

"We know Ladonna, we know you would have done it,"Nathifa said.

"I got her out before any damage was done."

"What was the argument about anyway?" Rada asked.

"Umm, I cannot say it ... Out aloud," Kiya replied shyly.

The three gathered around her.

"What!"They exclaimed.

"Shhh! Keep quiet!"Kiya said.

"The Gods heard! They heard me !" Ladonna was ecstatic about the words she heard from her Queen.

"Ladonna calm down!" Kiya's cheeks flushed red .

"I think her heart is going to give way,"Rada said looking at Ladonna.

"Wait, so that means she admitted it. She told him her true feelings,"Nathifa realized.

"Yes it just happened,"Kiya shrugged. "

"I am just so surprised you said it to Our Pharaoh before you admitted it to us. You just went straight for it."

"I just told him Rada . I guess I was caught up . Anyway, I am staying here for the rest of the day. I do not want to meet up with those two again."

"Poor soul," Rada patted the pouting Kiya on her head.

"Can I stay with you ?" Kiya laid down in Nathifa's lap. "Please? I am too young to kill. My birthday was 6 days ago!"

Nathifa looked down and smiled at me. "Well of course."

"On a random note, have you seen Re anywhere?" Kiya asked.

"He made friends with Amenei. He had grapes, it was bound to happen,"Nathifa sighed. "He left me."

"I know this might hurt you my dear but I was never you..it was just for the grapes. That is all he cares for and he leaves a string of broken hearts behind because of them," Kiya said dramatically.

"He has no heart!"Nathifa wiped away a fake tear.

Rada and Ladonna slowly turned around and looked at the two with raised eye brows.

"No one would believe her birthday was 6 day ago," Rada shook her head.

"Of course they would...not."

"What you should be doing is practicing your weaving My Queen," Ladonna instructed.

"Now? Why now?"Kiya complained.

"Because your current works look absolutely awful and you need the practice."

"It is early and I still smell like yesterday."

Ladonna sighed. "Nathifa can you handle her alone?"

"I am handling her right now,"Nathifa laughed.

"When you are finished you carry her back,"Ladonna instructed.

"I will."

Kiya got up and left with Nathifa. As they walked up the hallway Kiya's mood changed.

"Thinking about the whole thing I feel bad about the argument and everything. They are the closest thing he has to a family and I just coming between all that."
