Chapter 33

Izna's POV

"Your majesty....."

"What is it? Tell me. Did he escape safely?"

"Please sit down first."

"Don't play games with me. Horus tell me what happened? RIGHT NOW!!"

"Prince Seth was killed."

"What did you say?"

"Someone killed him and left to display his deadbody in front of the capital's gate. I guess they tried to warn...."

I can't hear what he's saying anymore. My head goes blank. I feel like the ground's shaking. I can't stand still anymore. I fall. I keep falling. From light to darkness. I don't remember anything after that.....

Nephthys POV

Izna's personal maid Julyka stands in front of me. She's sweating and shaking in fear.

"What did you do to her?"

"....."

"Answer me slave!!!"

"Great Pharaoh, she fainted after hearing about prince Seth."

"She's been unconscious for three days."

"Great Pharaoh....."

"Speak!"

"She lost her child....and.."

"What child?"

"She was pregnant."

She was pregnant??? She had my child in her womb all this time. Why didn't she tell me? Was she upset? Maybe I was too harsh on her.

"What happened to my child?"

"Her...her majesty fainted after hearing about the prince. She fell and got h....hurt..... and..."

"Can you save my child?"

"I'm soo.. sorry... she was hurt badly.... the child was crushed...she had a miscarriage...."

"GUARDS!! Cut off her head right now."

"Great Pharaoh!!! It was not my fault!! Please! When I arrived she already had a miscarriage. I served her majesty for years. I'd never hurt her. Please! Have mercy!!!"

"Alright! Leave her be."

I walk towards her chamber. My feet shakes. I wasn't here when she needed. She was hurt, she was bleeding. If only I was here. If only I could catch her, save her from falling....

"GO AWAY!!" Horus stands in front of me pointing his axe to me.

"How dare you slave!!! I'm your Pharaoh!"

"I don't care. It was all your fault. My master was hurt because of you."

"MOVE!! I don't have time to deal with you. I want to see my wife."

"Her majesty said she'd rather burn herself than seeing your face."

"Move slave!!!"

He walks closer. His eyes are red. I bet he was crying all this time. Judging from his expression, I can say he will actually kill me if needed. He's not afraid of me anymore.

"Her majesty said not to let you in. Get out of here or I will have to chop off your head."

"She will never say that."

"The previous Pharaoh killed her mother, her siblings. Then you killed her brother's wife and child. You killed the man she loved. You killed her child. You ruined her life, her happiness. If there's a man under the sun she hates most, it will be you Pharaoh Nephthys."

"I...I...." I can't finish the sentence. Whatever he said it's true. I hurt her too much. "I will visit her when she wants. Tell her I'm waiting for her outside her door. I will not move from here."

"Do whatever you want but don't come near my master. She hates you."
