All Chapters of Queen of the Eternal Nile: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The Kingdom of Khepri had known peace for five years.Not because its enemies had become weaker but because no king dared challenge the man who now ruled Egypt.His name alone silenced rebellions, his victories ended wars before they began.To his people, he was the protector chosen by the gods. But to foreign kingdoms… He was the Black Sun King.Pharaoh Kharef of the House of Khepri.At only Thirty-nine years old, he had inherited the throne after the death of his father, Pharaoh Amenkhepri, whose reign had united Upper and Lower Egypt beneath a single banner.Many believed the young prince would struggle to fill such enormous footsteps but they were wrong. 

Meanwhile in another palace."My Queen..."The messenger dropped to one knee, his forehead pressed against the polished stone floor."Thorac failed."Silence.Then—Crash!A golden goblet shattered against the chamber wall."WHAT?"Queen Neferaset rose from her throne, fury blazing in her dark eyes. Her silk robes swept across the floor as she descended the steps."How could he fail? He has never failed me before!"The trembling messenger lowered his head even further. "The villagers intervened, Your Majesty. They gathered before Thorac could capture the woman."Neferaset's jaw clenched. "Useless."She turned sharply toward the woman standing quietly beside the balcony.Unlike the palace priests dressed in pure white, this woman wore flowing black robes embroidered with silver symbols long forbidden by the temples.Madam Elena.Officially, she was the royal court seer.Unofficially… She was the only person in Egypt who still practiced the forbidden arts hidden from the gods' temples.H

My hands trembled around the bloodstained knife while the man slowly rolled his injured shoulder.Blood dripped steadily onto the sand. Yet… He was smiling at me, it was a cruel smile."You little wildcat..."Though I couldn't understand his words, I understood his expression. He wasn't angry but he looked like he was enjoying this.Around us, the remaining raiders slowly spread out, surrounding me from every direction. There was nowhere left to run.My heartbeat thundered inside my chest as I tightened my grip on the knife.Even if I died… I wouldn't go down without fighting.Then the man took one slow step forward and t

The desert exploded into chaos.The creature's claws crashed against Kasim's twin blades, sending sparks flying into the night. The impact forced him several steps backward, carving deep grooves into the sand.The soldiers stared in horror because no human possessed such strength.The monster roared again and black smoke poured from its body, spreading across the desert like living darkness.One soldier panicked. "What do we do?"Kasim never looked away from the creature."Protect the carriage." His voice remained calm. "No matter what happens… Do not let anything reach the woman."The Royal Shadows immediately formed a defensive circle around the carriage. Unlike the ordinary soldiers, none of them showed fear, only absolute discipline.The creature's crimson eyes narrowed. Then… It smiled, a horrible smile before suddenly, its body burst apart into dozens of swirling shadows.The soldiers gasped. "What is happening?"The darkness rushed across the sand, not in one direction but in e

The shadow creature lunged.“AAAAHHHH…” Its enormous claws tore through the night toward the carriage and Kasim stepped between them. Steel clashed against darkness and the impact threw him several meters across the sand.He landed on one knee and blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.The creature was stronger than he had expected. It had been fed by forbidden magic.Its only purpose… To seize the woman.Inside the carriage, Maritza clutched the wooden seat as the entire wagon shook violently. She had no idea what was happening, only that something monstrous waited outside.Suddenly… The ground trembled, not because of the creature but this is something else. The sound of galloping horses echoed across the desert, it was fast and powerful that made the shadow creature freeze.Its crimson eyes slowly turned toward the western horizon.Kasim smiled despite the blood on his lips."...He's here."Four riders burst through the darkness. And at their head… A massive black stal
