Chapter 46 - Apologize

Somewhere in Egypt, a king sat on his throne in the white hall with gold all around.


He was dressed just like Asim would dress but he didn't seem to be happy at all. His brown hair covered her face as he was lost in thoughts before the door into the hall gave way.


"Prince Niu." Someone announced and the man sitting on the throne looked up at the prince walking in. 


His brown hair flowed down his shoulders as his pitch black eyes staring at his father who was sitting on the throne. 


"Greetings to you father." He bowed slightly and the King waved his hands. 


"The men just arrived with news father. Suma is waging a war against Nashwa." Niu informed his father who clenched his fists angrily.


"In a matter of time, they would be attacking us too. Wat exactly are you doing, you and your brother?" The king yelled a angrily. 


"Do you know how long it took me to build this kingdom that I have?" 


"Do trust me father, I'll be the one to bring the good news to you. You know my brother is irresponsible." Niu smirked devilishly. 


"What do you have planned?" The king, Ahmes asked Niu. 


"Well father, in a few days, we'll be attacking Suma with my men." Niu explained as he pulled down the chat of map from above. 


"Are you as stupid as your brother is Niu? You stand no chance against them." Ahmes slammed his fist against the arm rest of his throne. 


"I planned for the perfect day to attack father. The day even Asim would be forced to come out of his palace to fight because his men won't be able to fight." Niu smirked.


"They would be attacking from the vulnerable side of the kingdom." Niu pointed at a point on the map of Suma. "The village, because there would be celebration that night."


Ahmes rubbed his chin as he looked at the map and realized Niu was right. It was their week of celebration anyways so the day with most celebration would be the best day to strike. 


"Maybe you're not as useless as you seem." Ahmes said, making Niu roll his eyes inwardly.


"My men would be marching out to take their places tonight." Niu said and Ahmes nodded in approval. 


Niu walked out of the throne hall with his personal assistant trailing behind him. She was dressed in a light gown with a silver Usek and silver belt. 


"Is everything arranged Kahmila?" He asked as they walkd down the passage way. 


The whole place was white and gold like the colour of the whole palace with pool of water on each side of the passageway.


"Yes my Lord, everything is ready." She nodded.


"We leave tonight." Niu waved his hands, then she turned opposite directions to where he turned to.


Layla's head came out of the pool of water as she looked at both of them walk away. 


"Predictable." She mumbled before diving into the water and just then Khamila turned to look at the uneasy water.


Back in Suma, Kissa was busy packing some things she knew she would be needing if she left with Cairo. She just woke up and felt like packing her things.


Sabola was looking at her as she packed her things but didn't say a word. Gold soon crawled inside and turned to his human form. 


"Is this a joke? You just woke up and decided to start packing?" Gold asked looking around the room. "Just don't let Lapis see you or you've blown your plan." 


"Have you ever encouraged someone in your life?" Kissa asked and he shrugged.


"Yes I have. Around twice or three times." Gold replied ad he walked to Sabola and ran his hands through her hair and kissed her forehead.


"Ewww, get your lovey thing away from me." Kissa rolled her eyes.


"The main celebration is tomorrow and who knows what might happen. I have a feeling…"


"Lapis is coming." Kissa said and Gold immediately turned to his snake form and Kissa pushed her box under her dressing table as she faced the mirror to examine her face. 


Lapis pulled the door open and stepped into the room. "Lady Kissa…"


"I'll like to stay back today because I don't see what I'm doing outside anyways." Kissa cut in before Lapis could finish what she was about to say.


"Okay." Lapis blinked thrice before looking at Sabola who was strangely staring at her. 


"The dress maker would be bringing your dress over today for the celebration tomorrow." Lapis said and Kissa nodded before facing the mirror again.


"If you're done, you can leave, I need my space." Kissa blinked as she examined her eyes. 


Lapis help but think the duo in the room were acting weird so she hurriedly walked out of the room. 


She walked into Zahra who was about to walk into Kissa's quarters.


"What do you want Zahra?" Lapis stopped her before she could walk past her. 


"And how is that your business? Do you run this place?" Zahrah raised a brow and Lapis scoffed.


"Yes I run this place because after Asim, I make the rules. You can return to your husband's kingdom. Ohh well guess what, he doesn't want you home yet till you're able to cure your barrenness…"


A slap landed across Lapis' face the next second as Zahra turned to leave. 


"Apologize right now Zahra."
