Chapter 7: Bad parenting?
It was Ramses who suddenly walked into the dining room.
Nefera turned around in shock. She-she hadn't wanted to anger her father!
He grabbed her arm roughly. „And I told you not to run!"
„Oh, Ramses, she was just-"
„No! I told her not to do it!"
Suddenly, even Dedyet was angry. „Why are you always so strict with her?! She's only-"
„I don't care how old she is! Nefera needs to bear responsibility! She will be queen someday!"
Nefera helplessly watched her parents fighting.
"You are being a bad parent!" Dedyet snapped.
„What?! I'm just raising her to be a ruler!"
The queen just sighed. She continued the conversation, speaking in a quiet voice. „Please, don't yell at her like this."
He sighed too, and let go of his daughter's arm.
„How are you feeling?"
She sighed. „I don't think this stress is good for the-, uh, me. It's not good for me."
He nodded. „I understand."
There was silence in the room for a second as Nefera looked from her mother to her father, and from her father to her mother, trying to figure something out. There was something in the air! She just didn't know what it was!
