Chapter 41

Izna's POV

After that day the kid's been visiting me almost every day. I'm starting to like her too. She's just an unfortunate girl who was born to be used as a political trading tool. When you get to know her she's actually nice and lively. Since I'm a lonely person myself I'm starting to get used to her.

"Your majesty....."

"Mmhhh?"

"I still think you should be careful around her. After all her father is....."

"Horus please. She's just a kid."

"You're too kind. That's why people always take advantage of you. Don't trust these snakes."

"It's been a long day. Please shut up. I'm trying to sleep."

"You have to think about...."

"Horus."

"Yes?"

"I'm feeling down. Come and hug me to sleep like you did when I was a child."

*sigh* "Of course your majesty."

This man! I spent half of my life with him. I know everything about him. He's too easy to read.

Umena's POV

I can't sleep at all. This happens all the time. I can't fall asleep easily. Mother used to hug me when I couldn't sleep. After she died there's no one to do it.

Umm actually...I could go to Izna's palace... she won't mind...I guess.

It's quite late. I shouldn't bother her. But I have nowhere else to go. Her palace feels like home. And she has a motherly smell on her. Plus she has so many interesting things to play with. And there's a cat too. It's so fluffy!! So squishy!!!

Alright! I've decided to go. It's late I don't want anyone to know where I'm going. Otherwise they'll ask a hundred questions. I tiptoe out of my room then run towards Izna's palace. The guards know me very well now. They don't stop me anymore. I walk straight to her chamber.

WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!! Why is Horus sleeping on Izna's bed hugging her??? Are they normal slave and master? Or they're more than that? Are they hiding something? He's sleeping so peacefully. I've never seen him with this kind of expression. Usually he's almost emotionless. But right now he's looking happy. It's making me jealous. Also it's breaking my heart seeing them together. I care about both of them. Even if they betray me I can't hate them. But this pain....what do I do about this pain in my chest???
