Chapter Summary

On his way back to his chambers, Ankh realizes that Prince Khalfani is following him. As Ankh deals with Isis, the two youths plan to speak of what they must do about their country, but before they can, they are rudely interrupted. Please R&R!


Ankh walked back to his chamber and realized that someone was behind him.

He turned around and saw the Prince sneaking up on him, as quiet as a cat.

"Well, well Your Highness, you weren't planning to give me a heart attack were you?"

Khalfani looked at him guiltily. "I wasn't trying to, sorry" he said.

Ankh smiled at the young prince - "It is all right. Would you like to come with me? I am about to check on one of my patients."

Khalfani cocked his head, and then nodded.

"Was that the girl you were talking about earlier, Ankhare?"

Ankh nodded. "Yes" he answered, opening the door.

Ankh put a finger to his lips as the two walked inside. "Be careful, Your Highness, she is sleeping."

Khalfani nodded. The two walked over to the cot, Ankh sitting on the side of it.

"Isis" he whispered. The girl stirred. Opening her eyes, she let out a muffled cry.

Ankh gently placed his hand over her mouth. "Shhh Isis. All is well, now, you have no need to fear."

Slowly, Isis nodded. Slowly, Ankh removed his hand from her mouth.

"Who was that man that was in here a while ago?" she asked.

Ankh looked confused. "There were four of us, my dear, which one do you mean?"

Isis furrowed her brow in thought. "Well, his head was shaved and he had a strange design on his forehead. You glared at him earlier for looking at me" she answered.

"Ahhh That is Lord Shada" Ankh answered, smiling; trying in vain not to burst into laughter at the description.

Khalfani tried not to laugh either. This girl had described Shada to a T.

Isis looked at the royal. Prince Khalfani was tall, about 5'8", and quite handsome. He had stunning blue eyes (A/N: Yes, blue) and a striking hairstyle.

"Forgive me, my Prince" Isis murmured, looking down. "but how old are you?"

Khalfani smiled. "I am 17" he said. Isis nodded. "What about you?" Khalfani asked. "I am 18" Isis answered.

Khalfani noticed that Ankhare's eyebrow shot up in surprise. "I would have thought you were at least 16" he said, a small smile gracing his lips.

Isis shook her head, smiling softly as well.

"Then that would mean that you are at legal age to marry" Khalfani said.

Ankh nodded. He hadn't thought of that. You could marry her his mind told him.

She is only 6 years your junior. Beautiful too. A genuine lotus flower.

Ankh wiggled his head to rid himself of the thoughts.

He marry Isis? No, she'd be much more suitable to someone like Lord Sekmeth or Lord Shada, who were both in their late teens to early twenties.

But then Ankh thought about the differences in religion.

You're one of the only people besides her who believes in Jehovah! You both are a match made in heaven!

Ankh then growled at himself. Isis and Khalfani looked at him, surprised, and a little confused.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Isis covered herself under the blankets.

Ankh smiled. "Come in" he called. Lord Shada stepped into the room. He bowed.

"Your Highness, your father the king would like to see you in his chambers"

Shada said, keeping his eyes to the floor. Khalfani nodded.

"Thank you Shada" he smirked a little as he thought of Isis's description of the man earlier. He left the room.

That left Shada and Ankh alone, or that's what Shada believed.

"I would like to express my apologies to you, Ankhare for my actions earlier today"

Ankh nodded respectfully. "All is forgiven, Your Grace" Shada nodded himself, his eyes Ankh noticed, holding a bit of conceited charm.

"Are you aware that the Pharaoh would still like to bestow upon the girl..."

"Isis" Ankh said, watching Shada's moves ever so carefully.

"Yes, Isis, The Pharaoh would still like to bestow upon her the Millennium Necklace, and as I have heard, make her a lady of the court"

Ankh tried not to let his mistrust for the man before him, show upon his features.

Isis, a lady of the court? Ha! Shada was probably hoping for that, so that as soon as she became part of the court, he could take her hand in marriage!

Over my dead body! Ankh thought disdainfully.

Shada, having delivered his message, turned toward the door. "I will let you know when the Pharaoh has made his decision."

Ankh glared at the man with all his might, until Shada was out of sight.


Isis (pokes her head out of the covers)- is it over?

Ankh- yes, dear, it's over. you can come out now.

Isis- Is it true? Pharaoh's gonna make me a duchess?

Ankh (trying not to giggle)- yeah, something like that.

Isis jumps around for joy- YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!
