As the lady was about to turn her head, Kissa was pulled out of her vision by the slamming of her door.
Kissa looked at Lapis who stood there with her arms folded. "I'm sorry for barging in but you were gone and I was making sure you're alive." Lapis replied before bowing her head.
'Isn't this lady a snake? This minute, she's wicked and exercising power, next minute, she's acting like a real servant.'
"What is it?" Kissa asked as she turned to look at her, dropping the piece of clothing with her behind her.
"Pharaoh asked us to arrange something for you so he asked me to bring you downstairs." Lapis replied and Kissa nodded before stepping down her bed and when Lapis turned, she placed the piece of clothing under her pillow
Kissa followed Lapis out and Cairo followed behind her. Lapis led her down the passageway which was under her atrium. Kissa never knew the place was there until now.
Lapis pushed open a door and the rays of sunlight hit them. Kissa was surprised to see the whole place was filled with water. A few steps led into the water from the entrance.
The large water was divided into two. The inner part had lotus and other plants growing in the water while the outer part was clear.
"This water was brought into the place from the river Nile. It is a natural water which would help your powers grow more." Lapis explained and Kissa took off her sandals and stepped into the water.
For the first time ever, Kissa felt like she was free. "You, guard her and make sure she doesn't try to escape. If she does, you're in trouble." Lapis said to Cairo who bowed before turning back to Kissa.
"Pharaoh is having dinner with you and Lady Zahra and another guest tonight. Please don't miss it." Lapis pleaded before walking away.
Kissa splashed in the water happily and Cairo looked at her with a slight smile he didn't even notice.
Kissa dipped her head inside the water and came back up. Then she looked at Cairo who was busy looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" Kissa raised her brows and Cairo shook his head before turning away. "When will your plan be executed, Cairo?"
"It is not something you should know about." Cairo sighed as he sat on one of the stairs.
Kissa walked toward him with her clothes sticking to her body. Cairo looked away and Kissa noticed why he did so she quickly took the towel on the stairs and covered her body.
"You know I can still tell on you if I want to." Kissa raised her brow with a smile on her face.
"I don't know yet." Cairo sighed as he rested his back against the door. "Why exactly did they build this place for you?" Cairo asked and Kissa looked around.
"I like nature, especially water." Kissa replied. "It helps me connect with my powers."
"But I thought you couldn't control it." Cairo asked.
"It comes unexpectedly so it helps control. Connecting with my powers that is." Kissa explained and Cairo nodded.
Night came and Kissa got ready for the dinner Lapis has told her about. There was no maid to help her and she did everything alone.
Kissa walked towards the main dining hall, where Zahr6was already sitting with Asim.
"You are late." Zahra clenched her fists angrily.
"Let her be Zahra." Asim warned and Zahra rolled her eyes before settling anyway.
Kissa sat comfortably while the maids walked in with trays of food and placed them on the table.
"When will your guest arrive?" Zahra asked.
"Very soon." Asim hummed.
Layla walked into the hallway dressed in a beautiful noble dress. Her gown was black with a golden belt around her waist. She was also wearing a golden usek with a golden wristband.
Cairo looked at Layla, as she got to the door of the dining hall. She winked at him before the other guards pulled the door open and she stepped in.
"She is here." Asim stood up and he saw Layla step in.
"Greetings to you Pharaoh. It is an honour to be here tonight." Layla bowed.
Kissa looked up at Layla with a shocked expression. 'It's her.'
