Anmatre can not believe his eyes. He just reads Asiya's Papyrus.
He thinks, "How can I do such thing? That woman loves me so much,and I,her husband brings shame upon her by taking her most valuable thing, her virginity. Not according to her wishes, but against her wishes."
Now he looks at Asiya who is not weeping but is staring at the opposite direction. The man realizes that nothing in the world can be so innocent than those beautiful, black eyes. Tears drop from his own eyes.
At last he finds what he must do. He robs her of her virginity. Now he will punish himself in a way he chooses to punish the thieves and robbers. He searches for a thing. And he finds it hanging at the right place. He takes that in his left hand. Asiya also notices it. She sees that the Pharaoh takes his sword in his left hand. She can understand what this man is going to do. He is going to punish himself by cutting his right hand. Asiya can not believe it. With a shriek she tries to reach to Anmatre. But Anmatre holds her by her waist and drags her to a pillar and makes her bounded there with a rope.
"Please Pharaoh! don't do it. Please I beg of you!"she cries.
But he does not listen to her. He also blindfolds her eyes so that she can not see the brutal incident.He suddenly reailizes that she will not be able to bear to see him cutting his hand.
Asiya tries to resist against him, fights him with all her strength. But she can not do anything against his manly strength.
He will repent all his crimes towards her. So he takes his sword. Aiming it at his right hand he drives the cruel blades through it. Now Asiya only hears cries from his side. She can not even think that her beloved, Pharaoh Anmatre of Egypt fells in a pool of blood gushing out of his own right hand.
She shouts out at Aasar and the servants. "Aasar! For Amun's sake, break the door." With that she attempts to break the ties she is tied in. But those ties are unbreakable.
At last the door is broken by a massive log of tree. Aasar enters into the chamber. He only sees her majesty weeping. She is bound with a pillar. And Pharaoh, the most powerful man of Egypt, lies in the middle of a pool. A pool made from his own blood which gushes out of his lost right arm. He is unconscious.
