Dinner came to an end far sooner than I expected.

For a brief moment, silence settled over the room. Meera stepped back inside just as Kharef slowly rose from his seat.

I looked at him in confusion.

Was he leaving?

Kharef noticed my questioning expression and he spoke slowly, choosing simple words I had learned earlier.

"Work..." He pointed toward himself. "...not finished."

Then he pointed toward me.

"Meera." Finally, he made a gentle motion with his hand toward the sitting room. "Go... with M

    The council meeting ended later than expected.One by one, the ministers bowed before leaving the Great Hall. Only General Ramose, Aziel, and Menes remained beside the throne.Kharef stood silently. His thoughts had never truly been inside the meeting but they had remained elsewhere to the one woman.Without another word, he descended the steps of the Black Sun Throne. "Ramose.""My Pharaoh." Ramose kneels."Continue the interrogation. I want names."He nodded his head. "Yes, My Pharaoh."Kharef turned toward Aziel. "Increase the Royal Shadows around the eastern wing."Aziel frowned slightly. "It has already been doubled.""Triple it." Kharef interjected fast.Aziel immediately bowed."As you command, my Pharaoh."Something still felt wrong. A feeling he could not explain.As Kharef walked through the palace corridors, his mind replayed the council meeting.Queen Neferaset… She rarely attended council sessions unless they directly concerned the royal family.Yet today… She had arrived

    The Great Council Hall was quieter than usual.Rows of ministers, generals, priests, and noble representatives waited in tense silence.The attempted assassination within the royal palace had shaken the entire kingdom. Never before had enemies crossed the palace walls.When Kharef entered, every person immediately rose and bowed."My Pharaoh."He acknowledged them with a single nod before taking his seat upon the Black Sun Throne.His golden eyes swept calmly across the hall. Nothing in his expression betrayed the sleepless nights he had endured and revealed the woman lying unconscious in his private chambers.The meeting began.General Ramose stepped forward. "The assassins have been eliminated. One remains under interrogation and the palace has been secured."Kharef nodded. "Double the guards. No one enters or leaves the royal residence without my approval.""As you command, my Pharaoh."The ministers carefully exchanged glances. Such security measures had never been necessary befor

    Darkness… It surrounded me once again but only this time… It wasn't ancient Egypt.It was raining, heavy rain and a pair of headlights blinded me with a loud horn shattered the silence.My mother's frightened scream echoed through the car."Maritza!"Then—Crash!Everything turned upside down, glass exploded around me, metal twisted and someone was crying while calling my name."Mari..."The voices slowly faded.When I opened my eyes again… I wasn't in a hospital but I was standing in a funeral hall.Two framed photographs rested beside white flowers, my parents. They’re gone forever.A little girl stood alone before them; She couldn't have been more than six years old but she never cried and she simply stared as though she couldn't understand why the two people she loved most would never come home again.That little girl… It was me.The memory shifted to another house and another goodbye.My aunt knelt before me with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Maritza. I can't take care of you a

    Steel clashed against steel.The palace chamber had become a battlefield.The royal eunuch stood before the doorway, fighting two assassins at once despite the blood running down his arm.Kasim remained in front of us, his sword moving faster than my eyes could follow.No one… No one was getting past him then something caught my attention. One of the assassins wasn't attacking but he was holding a clay jug."...What is that?"The man smashed it against the marble floor.Crash!Thick green smoke immediately poured into the chamber.My eyes widened. "No..."The sharp smell hit me instantly, this is not ordinary smoke, poison."Cover your mouths!"I shouted instinctively, grabbing the edge of my robe and pressing it tightly over my nose and mouth.I motioned frantically for Meera and the others to do the same."Like this!"They didn't understand my words, but they copied my movements. Meera quickly turned toward Kasim, trying to warn him but it was too late.Three woven baskets crashed o

    The council chamber remained silent.A large map of Egypt lay stretched across the polished stone table with colored markers indicating villages, military outposts, and trade routes.Kharef studied every detail and saw something was wrong, very wrong.General Ramose folded his arms."The desert thieves have appeared again." He moved another marker farther west. "They raid a village… then disappear before our soldiers arrive."Menes frowned. "We've searched every canyon, every oasis but there is no trace of them."Kharef remained silent. His golden eyes swept across the map."They do not simply disappear." His voice was calm. "The

"Go... with Meera."It took me a moment to understand."Oh… You only came because..." I searched for the words. “I didn’t… Eat."Kharef nodded once. His golden eyes softened for a brief second before he turned toward the door.Without another word… The Pharaoh left.I watched him disappear down the corridor and somehow… The room suddenly felt quieter.***Meera clapped her hands together, immediately pulling my attention back to the lesson.I reached for the language book again but she quickly shook her head
