Lauren's POV I looked at the worn cap in my hands and put it on my head over the bun I made in my hair, looking at myself in the mirror and shuddering to see something so different in me. We could not appear to be in good financial condition, nor to be excessively clean, which would differentiate us too much from the local population. I wore low boots and looser clothes to camouflage the shape of my body, very masculine military-cut pants and double long-sleeved blouses with leather vests over the strategically torn fabrics. Hadd thought it right that none of the women showed themselves as women because it would make the situation very difficult if one of them walked in a group that looked like too many men, the chances of us being harassed for that would increase a lot, and he tried at all costs to show that what we didn't we wanted to draw attention. Ursel took longer than all of us, she had a female form that was hard to cover up. I ironically found myself in a sit

Karila knew the second she stepped onto the first step of the stairs and her gaze flicked down to the man waiting for her downstairs, smiling with the kindest look she could ever see in her life on anyone, and that was him. Her wedding day was an endless ambiguity, it was by far one of the happiest days of her life, just as it filled that princess's chest with anguish when she remembered her parents who had died prematurely.It bothered him immensely that they hadn't been able to see her wed. And that was one of the guilts she carried with her every day for going against their advice and their impositions, even if she had been aware that if she was going to marry who they wanted, she would never have married the man she loved years later. afternoon. That's why the feelings were so ambiguous, she knew it would be unhappy if she got married too soon, but she also couldn't stop blaming herself for not giving her parents that happiness of seeing her getting married before th

- Why are you here? – I asked looking at her hugging me tight. It was comforting to have her, but too dangerous, he didn't understand exactly what was going on.— I knew she was going to meet with the president, and that was a big mistake, I managed to arrive in time to get her out of there, they wanted to kill her. – She spoke seriously, I sighed."It wasn't a terrorist attack, was it?"His nod was negative.— Al Sisi wants her dead, and he won't stop until he gets it, for that he will always use contradictory situations to manage to cover up what he wants, as he did with the politicians contrary to him, which will obviously make him easily re-elected . His bitterness was intense, his voice harsh.— You need to be careful with the situation Lauren, Karila can protect you to the limit that is under her roof and a little beyond, the president is a powerful man, if he wants to talk, you pretend to be insane and don't go against him. It's dangerous, her escort

Lauren's POV Occasionally I would rest my cup of tea on my lap and lose my eyes on the structure tops of the roof of that courtyard, looking at the pattern of shadows reflected on the walls, it is extensive and vague, there were only the two of us there, which was decisive for feel your presence beside me. For a moment I thought going upstairs was appropriate, but she didn't seem to be in the mood to go upstairs and isolate herself in her room, so I didn't either, remaining in calm silence for minutes at her side, still avoiding looking away. for your sure face uncovered. — Don't you feel sleepy? – His husky voice breaking the silence startled me. She moved to replace the cup on the small table between the chairs and I noticed she pulled the handkerchief back over her face, I made sure of that before looking back at her, the gaze wasn't on me, it was above, in the sky. "No... Am I being inconvenient?" – I asked trying to understand that she wanted me to lea

Deciding to get it done before dinner, Karila went downstairs, meeting Hadd in her tracks.—Notify Normani so they can come and explain to me about the new escort, I want to be aware that I'm going to leave safely when I need to and the sooner that happens, the better. - She spoke peacefully to the man who nodded watching her walk away across the courtyard, hands clasping each other, it seemed a little empty not to feel the ring in her hands, but that load she carries would be kept inside that box.Ursel was sitting next to the living room, reading the news on her cell phone with a tranquility that broke into a fright when Karila entered the room without warning. The princess looked at her carefully, noticing her agitation in her presence."Your Highness, it's good to see you standing with us again." - She spoke sweetly.“Kind of you, Ursel. – He answered in a low voice, his eyes on the main doors, waiting calmly when he heard the hurried steps from the courtyard

Unguarded, Normani and Akil stood near the tent, watching the movement of historians in and out near the excavations. They knew Karila was inside with Ursel, Lauren, Rudolph and other unknown historians of the current Czech expedition.Hadd participated in the escort from behind the tent, close to the corvettes, talking to other security guards about any point of distrust, everything seemed calm and nothing arose from suspicion so that they remained in a posture of tension, even if not for a second they thought of relaxing and trust the environment.— This pursuit is not veiled, he does everything in her face, it even gets stupid. – Akil commented, looking through his Shemagh at the movement of historians in the wide distance, they were at the side of the tent, under a canopy that gave them more comfortable shade. His comment was skeptical because he was a man of war, he knew that a lot didn't work on display.“Al Sisi fears nothing, he has good support from the people in Egypt, man

The clay brick foundations between the stones and sand gave a sequence to be admired, the historians of the expedition had already made their own definition of how that temple would be, with corridors and sanctuaries well defined in a daring proposal, it was all that range of information that made me fascinated with my work.How dare I think of leaving if I've done nothing wrong? And lose it? Not even.On a relief fragment, Dr. Waziry showed us drawings that made me smile at the rediscovery.— Worship of a solar deity, God Ra. – Karila's voice was surprisingly low, leaving not only the Doctor of History surprised but all of us with the propriety she had in simply saying that with the interpretation of the drawing. I watched her approach, we were in a small group analyzing these fragments of reliefs with drawings that said a lot about what that place represented.— Correctly Your Highness, by our personal studies, these cults started here in Abusir around the Fifth Dynasty, by our

POV NarratorAgainst Lauren's plans the next morning to be able to read the translations of the princess's biography, Ursel summoned her to a meeting that would begin to determine what her days in El Kab would be like. They would spend a month away from Cairo on an expedition, at some point that heartened her deeply because she knew she would be safely away from whatever madness was happening here in the Capitol.But her anxiety took another turn when Ursel simply said that Karila Aistarabaw I would go to Saudi Arabia that week and then I would meet them in El Kab when they traveled because I wanted to follow those expeditions closely during all the period they would stay there. The princess would leave Cairo for an entire month and focus on helping historians.It was the first time that that would happen, the woman had never stayed away from her hometown for so long, but it seemed not only an intimate desire of hers to follow something she wanted so much, but also a defense strate

POV NarratorAs previously investigated, the restaurant located in one of Cairo's most sophisticated neighborhoods had reduced traffic by half. Those who dined there discreetly looked at the windows that gave onto the streets around the place, curiously intrigued when the Corvettes emptied out and filled the street with security guards dressed in black from head to toe.Hadd approached the Land Rover Lauren and Ursel were in and opened the door, his expression carefully serene. The historian thanked him with a nod of her head when she saw him give her a hand to lower her heels, something notably surprised her in the act, but she said nothing and just walked around the car to find Ursel on the other side, who was helped by another security guard. .Normani and Akil, their faces covered, entered the restaurant beside Karila, their eyes already searching for any hint of suspicion, but everything was in the most peaceful peace, which made them give space to the woman who waited for her

For the rest of the night Karila kept her distance from Lauren and barely glanced at her, which made her posture more defensive than usual. But for Lauren, enough had been said and her glimpse of something wrong going on gave her a more positive than negative feeling, so her dinner was anything but disappointing. She ate well and when she walked into her room that night, she was unusually quiet. Which was the complete opposite of the agitated princess in the next room, who, getting rid of the security guards, and even dismissing Normani's presence, dealt with news that made her move from one side of the room to the other.Music on* Be Like You - Whethan & BroodsHis body stopped just long enough in place when he stepped onto the terrace and glanced over his shoulder, noticing the curtains on Lauren's doors millimeters open. Her mental projection made her take the An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, seriously. The deeply glowing gaze completed his frowning expression as he watche
