All Chapters of Queen of the Eternal Nile: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

**(Kharef POV)**I watched Zahra and Maritza disappear inside the hut before turning my attention back to the men waiting outside.And the warmth in my expression vanished. There was no room for softness now because there were matters that needed to be settled before I left.I looked at Kasim and Rasyid.“Kasim. Rasyid.” Both men straightened immediately. “I trust Lady Maritza in your hands.”They immediately dropped to one knee, placing a hand over their chest.“I will protect the future queen with my life, my Pharaoh,” they said firmly.Future queen… The words stayed in my mind.

I watched everyone widened their eyes and whispers immediately spread.“Lady? Then who is she?”“Why would she hide her name?”Harun raised his hand, and soon, the village quieted.“And the man you knew as Aziel…” He paused. “He was not Aziel.”The silence became absolute and Harun turned toward the road where Kharef had disappeared.“He was Pharaoh Kharef, King of Egypt.” He added firmly.The reaction was immediate and gasps erupted throughout the village.Someone actually dropped a basket, while another w

Meanwhile…News that Pharaoh Kharef was almost back in Egypt had finally reached the palace.“What?” Queen Neferaset frowned when she heard the report from one of her spies.Her heart tightened when she heard that Kharef was almost there. She immediately turned and hurried toward her private chamber.Today was supposed to be the day Prince Annoof was appointed acting Pharaoh.She had planned everything carefully and nothing was supposed to stop her son from taking the throne. Nothing.But everything had gone wrong.First, the witch was dead then Aldrich, her most trusted man, was dead and looks like the bandits she had ordered to attack the city had failed.And now Kharef was alive. Worse… He was almost back at the palace.“Damn it!” Neferaset clenched her fists.She had run out of people to send, had run out of plans, so there was only one thing left.Her own dark magic… She knew how dangerous it would be if anyone discovered the truth.Yes, the Queen of Egypt possessed dark magic.

When I opened my eyes, I was covered in cold sweat and my breathing was still uneven from the strange dream.Professor Hasan, the tomb and the darkness.‘You came too soon.’The words were still echoing inside my head when—Knock. Knock. Knock.I froze when I heard someone knocking on my door. I frowned and looked around the small hut before reaching for the cloak beside my bed.It was still early so who could possibly be coming to see me at this hour?I quickly wrapped the cloak around myself and walked toward the door.When I opened it, my eyes widened to see Rasyid standing there and beside him were Kasim and the five Shadow soldiers Commander Aziel had left behind to protect the village.Their expressions were serious and far too serious that made my heart immediately tightened.“Is the Pharaoh?” I quickly asked him.The worry in my voice must have been obvious because Kasim quickly shook his head.“No, Lady Maritza.” He said and I stared at him.He understood exactly what I was t

 Two Days Earlier… Pharaoh Kharef was almost home.After dealing with the bandits who had attacked the city, he had immediately continued his journey toward the palace with his soldiers riding around him.Ramose stayed close and Aziel was near the Pharaoh, constantly watching the road ahead. They were almost there and could see the palace was already visible in the distance.For the first time in months, Pharaoh Kharef was finally returning to his kingdom yet something felt wrong.Aziel's horse suddenly slowed and his expression changed when a strang
