Chapter 14:
*Chione's POV*
"Atem!" I giggled loudly when he begins running towards another location nearby while holding my hand. "Where are we going?"
"We are going to check out a tomb!" he grinned widely.
"Wait, a tomb!?" I asked, feeling unsure about the idea.
"Trust me Chione! Everything will be alright!"
Oh boy, my husband is adventurous, but that's alright. After a few minutes of running, we finally stopped at an entrance.
"Whose tomb is this?" I asked him, still holding hands with him.
"Ours."
"Wait, what?"
"Chione," he chuckles, holding both of my hands and looking deep within my eyes, "for real, this our tomb."
"Really?"
"Yes really. Come with me my queen."
I smiled and nod my head.
Atem opens the entrance and takes us inside. A torch lights up, letting us see through the darkness. Countless stairs lead us down further in the grounds. Soon we find ourselves in a really large, empty room. There are other passageways.
My husband leads me to one of the passageways. Further down, we soon arrived to another large room. He set down the torch on the wall and smiles to me. Gently pulling me down by my hands, Atem and I sit down on the stoned floors.
"This is will be our final resting place," he smiles more to me, "it was created for my great grandfather, but he did not wish to have this tomb because he believes this tomb should be shared by the love of a pharaoh and his queen."
"He didn't share it with his queen?"
"There was never any source of love between them. Great grandfather was madly in love with a servant who worked for them."
"Did she return his love?"
"Oh yes very much so, but she couldn't be with him. One day, she didn't showed up for the daily work. No one could find her, until they found her body lying still and cold."
"What happened to her?" I asked surprised with my hands close to my mouth.
"She was murdered and no one knows what happened. Many though ti was the queen who murdered her because she grew more quiet afterwards. Even the pharaoh thought of it too, but he needed an heir. So they only have one child, a little girl, and he named her after the woman he truly loved. The queen soon died when she was about two years old. He kept this tomb hidden from everyone and only let true love share this tomb."
I blush at his words. Our love is not just love, it is true love.
"Chione," he places a hand on my cheek and stare deep within my eyes, "when our time for the afterlife, I want our bodies mummified in Pharaoh and Queen coffins lying next to each other on the floor."
"There's no one else I would rather sharing a tomb with," I smiled, melting into the touch. "Can we also have our future children here and their loves?" I asked my husband.
"Yes my queen. Our family will join us in the afterlife while their bodies will be here in this omb as well."
Our smiles meet as we slowly meet into another amazing kiss.
