Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

77: "Concerns"

Khai's P.O.V

There were light whispers around the place talking about Kiya and Naeem's  state. I could not help but think about it also.

"It has been days. "

"So what would you like to do?" Amenei asked.

"I need someone who is capable of telling me what is happening with my wife and my son."

"So you are thinking of him?"

"Yes he came to mind."

"Well he is the best."

"I am sure he will know. He came to mind a few days ago and I sent for him and found out he was close by . I sent a request that he come here as it was an emergency. I am suppose to get more information on his arrival today,I walked off."

"No, wait please My Lord. We ... you cannot send for him , not when Lady Kiya did not have an input on the matter."

I stopped in my track and turned around. I exhaled and I folded my arms across my chest. "Tell me Amenei, if I took myself up and told her about it what will she say? She is not capable of making that decision. She stays up and watches him sleep because she is afraid he will stop breathing in his sleep." I clenched my fist.

Amenei squeezes his eyes shut and turned away. " She will be most upset about this."

" I have come to terms with that. She will be upset and this will probably end in an argument but I am preparing myself for that."

"I stand behind you on this My Lord."

"Might I suggest a wet nurse My Lady?"

"No I do not need one. He is my son and I can take care of him and feed him. He needs me, not some other woman. He needs his mother and I am here."

"Understood," Rada sighed as she looked at the condition her Queen was in. Her now frail hands held her son close to her chest. Her bright eyes now sunken and drooped due to lack of sleep, her face pale only showing anger or sadness or sometimes nothing at all. She was a!shell of her former self and she was slowly withering away. " It is just that you look so tired My Lady. You have been awake day and night. You should really get some rest. I will watch the Young Lord and take good care of him while you do so."

" Do not bother, I am watching him."

"My Queen, I will not take my eyes off him. Not even for a second!"

I said... do not bother, I am watching him. He is my son, he is my responsibility. Let me do my job... please."

"Yes My Queen." Rada sighed and bowed as she left the room.

"This cannot go on ," Rada muttered to herself. "At this rate she will die and leave him." Rada entered the throne room where she found Khai speaking to Amenei. "Excuse me My Lord?"  She bowed.

" What is the matter Rada?"

" I am concerned about Lady Kiya. She refuses help she does not sleep and when I offer to help I am completely shut down."

"I am getting things in place to try and solve that matter."

"Thank the Gods," Rada exhaled in relief.

"The best physician I know."

" But My Lord if I may ask, how soon will he be here?"

" By tomorrow as fortunately he is near by ."

"Lady Kiya does not know of this I am sure," Rada raised her eyebrows as she glanced at Khai.

" Of course not. She would never allow it. I do plan to tell her... a few moments before he enters the room."

" She will be most upset but there is nothing more we can do on our own at this point."
