Queen of the Eternal Nile Chapter 54
The discussion continued long into the evening.By now, the High Priest's desk had completely disappeared beneath stacks of papyrus scrolls. Every time I thought we'd reached the end of their questions, someone unrolled another scroll or asked about something new.I did my best to answer all of them. Sometimes I actually knew the answer and sometimes I spent several awkward seconds trying to remember the Ancient Egyptian word while other times... drawing little pictures on papyrus was simply easier.To my surprise, it worked. Between my clumsy explanations, Anen's patient translations, and everyone's willingness to listen, speaking their language became a little less terrifying.I still made mistakes, a lot of mistakes but at least they understood me.Ramose unrolled a large map across the table."If this black oil truly exists beneath our lands..." he said, pointing toward several locations in the western provinces, "...then these are the places where villagers have reported poisoned

Silence settled over the High Priest's study so completely that I could hear the crackling of the nearby oil lamp.Every pair of eyes was fixed on the clay cup resting on the table.Inside it sat the thick, black liquid I had recognized immediately. Crude oil.Kharef frowned, his brows knitting together as he repeated my unfamiliar words."...Crude oil?" He asked.The room remained silent.Of course they didn't know what it was. Why would they?I suddenly realized just how impossible this situation was. How could I explain petroleum to people living more than three thousand years in the past? They had never studied chemistry or geology. To them, this strange substance was nothing more than something cursed by the gods.I took a slow breath, forcing myself to think.No complicated explanations but show them."I..." I searched for the Ancient Egyptian words I had learned over the past weeks. "...show."High Priest Anen gave a slow nod."You may."I walked toward a nearby wooden table an
Queen of the Eternal Nile Chapter 52
Three days had passed since Meera's memorial ceremony.Life inside the Temple of Ra had gradually settled into a new rhythm. The halls were no longer filled with mournful silence, and the servants had returned to their daily duties. Even so, the absence of the gentle queen could still be felt everywhere I went.Since then, I have spent nearly every waking hour inside the Temple of Ra.Every morning, High Priest Anen patiently taught me Ancient Egyptian. My tongue still stumbled over certain words, but at least I could finally hold simple conversations without relying entirely on gestures. In return, I helped organize scrolls, assisted the temple healers, and shared whatever medical knowledge I could without revealing too much about where I came from.Today, I had finished reading the last two papyrus scrolls high priest Anen had lent me. If I was going to be trapped in ancient Egypt, then I had only one choice—I needed to learn their language first.Holding them carefully against my c
Queen of the Eternal Nile Chapter 51
Three days had passed since the attack on the palace.Even now, I can still remember the screams, Meera's smile, Hana's final words, the smell of blood and the images that refused to leave me.Today, the Royal Hall of Remembrance was filled with people dressed in white, yet despite the peaceful colors surrounding me, the weight inside my chest only grew heavier.Rows of beautiful white lotus flowers surrounded memorial tablets engraved with the names of those who had died protecting the palace.Protecting me but no one here knew that.Incense drifted lazily through the enormous hall while priests chanted prayers in ancient Egyptian, their voices echoing softly beneath the towering stone ceiling.
Queen of the Eternal Nile Chapter 50
Silence…I had never imagined silence could be so loud.It wasn't the peaceful quiet of dawn or the comforting stillness after a long day. It was the kind of silence that settled over broken hearts, making every breath feel heavier than the last.One by one, the bodies of the palace servants were gently placed onto wooden stretchers. No one hurried. No one spoke above a whisper.Even the soldiers who usually stood so proudly lowered their heads as they walked past.I couldn't move.My swollen eyes burned from crying as I watched Meera's body being covered with a white linen cloth embroidered with a golden symbol I had seen many times throughout the palace.The symbol of Ra.Yesterday she had smiled at me, fussed over my clothes, and treated me as though I truly belonged here.Now… She was gone.A sob escaped my lips before I could stop it and I quickly covered my mouth, embarrassed by the sound, but someone had already noticed.Kharef… Without saying a word, he walked over and stopped

The hidden passage fell into complete silence when no one spoke.The only sound was the echo of hurried footsteps as we rushed toward the ancient iron door at the end of the corridor.Ramose stepped forward first, pressing both hands against the weathered metal."It's reinforced," he said.Aziel rested his palm against it before frowning. "They locked it from the inside."I looked toward Kharef, silently praying he would have another way and notice his face became colder than stone."Break it." he demanded."Yes, My Pharaoh." Ramose and Aziel drew their swords.The heavy blades slammed against the ancient lock.Clang!The deafening sound echoed through the narrow corridor.Again.Clang!Again.Clang!The thick iron groaned but refused to yield.With every strike, my heart pounded harder inside my chest until I could barely breathe.‘Please… Please let Meera be alive. Please... let everyone be safe.’One final strike.BOOM!The ancient lock shattered and the massive iron door slowly cr
