Egypt's Treasure ~Completed~

Chapter 12

After 28 days I survived.

The light slowly shines inside this run down like pyramid and the heat started to blaze through. The supposed hot air was cold to my skin since the days I spent inside the pyramid are like a skin torture. In a day it is very hot in the night it is harsh cold.

The only reason I Peony, survived is that their is a secret passage in he pyramid. I wonder if anyone knows this but if someone knows it then a rumour like 'no one comes back alive' must be exaggerating.

I happen to stumble upon this plain wall until a movable rock can be pushed and slide to open a small passage to go underground leading to a small unhabited like outdoor with the river in the side.

I manage to hide along and get some fruits and bread then go back to the pyramid without anyone noticing.

"I will show you all people. That darkness cannot kill a person. " I smirked.

I started to walk out in that hot like sand with my bare feet after losing it to a river near by as I try to wash myself.
The sand felt very hot as if my feet can be cooked anytime.

As I walk outside every people who was present started to murmur and whisper around. I did not project a pride or a confident face but I project a face that said 'I survive'.

In the center was Cairo the crown Prince on his horse with a white fabric covering his perfect skin and shadowing his face.
Beside him was the General Hantu. I smirk to him.

" Bring the woman back to Egypt. We shall decide. " Cairo said.

Hantu walk towards me in a quick moment he smiled secretly, "I'm glad your safe." He whisper.

He give me a little push while glancing back to other guards to stay back.
I followed him obediently and was lead back to the royal upper Egypt and unexpectedly everyone was talking already. They were muttering and whispering something like "how did she came out alive and well..."

"Is she a witch."

"She is still very beautiful even after that.."

How hilarious. I survived because I found a way to survive, I did not fall helpless and the pyramid is just a hide out that has underground tunnel for survival.
I don't know who even built that and try try to push a punishment for anyone who so called sinned.

"Witch!" A loud voice that is coming from the entrance shouted.
I look back to see who it is but I think I was being stupid for not guessing.

It was Annipe, the princess and the big headed brat who dare to try and punishing me into a death strike. If that pyramid did not even have a underground passage way I would be flesh and bones.

"What?"

"Your a witch. " she pointed to me and every started to theorize everything.

I roll an eye, "and how could you support that? You don't have any evidence."

Even I don't know anything about the ancient Egypt I still know laws thAt are strong and that is the alibi and evidence.
I study well for my law class.

"Annipe stop spouting unsupported evidence." Cairo said in a gravel tone warning her.

"Well I do have an evidence Royal brother." A smirked that was plasters in her lips was annoying. How come she have an evidence that I don't know off.
Well I can say and deny that I don't know what she is saying because I don't even recognize such item but that would be creating a loop hole for me.

"Show us. " Cairo said.

I embrace my self mentally on what is going to come. I was thinking a pot of witch potion or maybe a hat or anything that is suspicious but magical or even what they think a witch is.

"Everyone!  You are here to witness that this woman is a witch.
And I have brought three evidence to support my claim. "

She clap her hands and her servants bring in the evidence. The other was a clay tablet with hieroglyphs and a foreign Hebrew word while the other one was jade and precious gems then lastly a person?

"Go on.. tell them witch!  Who is this person in front of you, you better not lie if you value your words and your tongue. "She threatened.

"S-she is..." She first quiver like she is scared then she exchange glances to me and to the crowd as she gulp for air she carried a courage to say it.
How fake. I know much more about this in psychology class. Her acting skills is amateur and that princess is a scheming bitch.
"Do you really have to believe a person who may got bribe on.". Cutting in to the talk I have justify myself. I have gone 28 days their almost losing my sanity every night I sleep looking out for scorpion or snake inside that rundown pyramid.
I'm not going down for nothing.

"Heh! What do a sinner have to say, your not only a sinner but a daughter of dark, you disgrace the gods with your filthy prescene. " she stated.

"Gosh, your highness please don't frame in such things. Your evidence is not effecint enough to support your claim." I said with a smile.

This is nothing to me, she is such a hot headed girl. Damn calm down.

This is already an evidence. Your fate is decided witch! If only you havent step out of your supposed grave you wouldn't be ashame. "

I shrugged her word and look away to the evidence.
"Why would there be a clay tablet, I can't even write heiroglipse and Hebrew.. I don't even know how to read that. Plus I came here with no belonging nor money how would I gain money for buying that gemstone." I laughed.

Ridiculous, this is simply child's play.

"It is enough. " the words silence everyone's whispers and even the eyes of the people inside the room was wide and they all started to bow. The pharaoh shows up.

"You are a witch. " he stated before seat If down to his throne wet beside is Cairo.

"This is pointless,how could a mere person like me be sentence to a witch who does not know how to write nor have any money for a medium. " I reason out. I almost thought that after exposing my current state I would have the upper hand to dodge the bullet but I guess the highest authority would have the last decision.

" I have the last say. I'am the god, the phraoh, and the power of Egypt this I'm the judge of what is right and wrong. Are you certain you are not a witch. "He said to me with his posture straight up and gaze that can melt or burn stone.

Is that even a question to ask?

"Ofcourse Iam not a witch. "

Annipe chuckled, " you know, being a witch is treason. You defy the protection of ma'at and the protection of from all the deadly creatures Isis. "

The phraoh nod, "indeed." He took another deep breath as I stood there looking at what position I was placed. I was already certain I would be sentence again in death but no more surviving...

"My phraoh.."

"Dont intervine General Hantu!" He yelled to Hantu as he kneel down with his deep respect for the phraoh with his head deep down.

"But I have to witness that this woman is no threat. My Lord if I may be punished then punish me for intervening the affairs of this judgement. However I and his highness know the girl." Hantu was brave enough to become a witness for me but the expression of the ohraoh was very fixed.

"My son, is it true you know the woman. " he asked.

"Father indeed I do. She is my concubine after all." Cairo replied with a respectful tone then the phraoh nod again.

Who is your concubine?! You prek.

"I will not change my decision however I will lighten the sentence. If you can survive this I will only exhale you to Egypt or I will let the crown Prince decide your fate." He look back to the man seating to the very Side of the stairs who is writing in a clay then after sharing glances he continue his eddict. " this woman in front of me shall be sentence in the death circle tomorrow noon. "

Holy pi** of **** if not only because of secret passage that was very well hidden I'am alive now but judging by the name death circle... I can be certain this is my end.
