Ramses,
The king of Egypt sighed as he watched his guards spar. It has been five long days.
But they felt like an eternity. Akila had refused to meet him personally, even though she formally greeted him when they met.
His wife has been different with him ever since that accident in the temple.
No, before it, after that night he spent with the queen. He tried hard to remember the reason why he did what he did with Annipe, but each time he comes back empty-handed.
He was certain that his sister had done something to cloud his sanity, but he couldn't prove it.
But the damage was already done and Akila was the witness to it all.
His wife hated him and she had the right to. He had promised to love no one but her, then he did this.
"My king, today you look more troubled. Did anything happen?"
Omari asked the king, even though he knew what bothered him. The entire palace knew.
