Izna's POV
"Are you ready?"
"I...I guess so." Looking at umena's condition I don't think she's ready to face her father. I have to make sure to protect her.
After a long political meeting and lots of fake flattering, finally It's time to face Yusef. Umena goes first. Me and Horus stay in a hidden chamber behind one of the doors. This way we can hear everything. If situation goes out of hands we will jump in to save Umena. I look through the small hole to see what's going on.
"Gre.. greetings father...."
"Hmm. Sit."
"How are you?"
"Cut the chit chats. Let's discuss something important. I'm a very busy man. Don't waste my time."
"So... sorry father."
"Why aren't you pregnant yet? I told you to give birth to a son before the queen."
"Yes father."
"Then why aren't you? Did you sleep with the Pharaoh yet?"
"No. I don't think he's interested in me."
"Of course he isn't!!! You're nothing compared to his queen. You're not beautiful or smart. I'd be rather surprised if he found you attractive."
"I don't want to compete with queen Izna."
"You're not worth competing her. Forget about that. You need to use other methods. I brought you some potions. Use them on the Pharaoh and get pregnant as soon as possible."
"Father please....."
"Do you have any objections?"
"Yes. Queen Izna is my friend. I don't want to use cheap tactics against her."
"WHAT!!!! You made friends with her? You betrayed your own father?! You ungrateful bitch!"
*slap*
"Ahhhhh....."
Umena tries to hide her face. Yusef grabs her by hair. That's it!!!!! I'm chopping off his hand!
"HOW DARE YOU!!!" I kick the door open. He gets surprised at first but quickly turns back to his usual form.
"What an honor! Queen of God's land is here. Greetings....."
"SHUT UP!! How dare you hit someone from the harem without my permission!"
I am so angry right now I want to smash his head to the wall. If Horus wasn't holding me I really would've done it.
"I was just teaching her to behave my queen."
"Who are you to teach her? She belongs to Pharaoh's harem now. I can cut off your hands for hitting her."
"Looks like my queen cares for her a bit more than normal."
"She's my friend. You won't understand, would you? You have nothing but enemies."
"Actually..."
"Get out!"
"What?"
"I said get out. I'm feeling disgusted looking at your face."
"You're insulting me."
"Of course I am. Get lost!"
"You should know the consequences of insulting me."
"You will start another war? But how will you start another war if you don't return to your homeland alive?"
"Killing me will cost you even more."
"Who says I'll have to kill you? Savages could attack and kill you on your way home. Your carriage could fall off a mountain. Perhaps a snake could bite you. Or one of your whores could poison you for money. I mean you have so many enemies. Right?"
His face turns pale. He didn't expect this.
