Chapter 4

It had been a month that Isis stayed in Razia and Layla's house. She was very kind and sweet and so, the neighbors loved her too, though some men had lustful eyes on her.

Like that one day, when Layla and Isis were in their shop and Isis was cleaning the shelves. A man came to buy some shawls and his eyes fell on her. He purposely touched her waist and luckily Layla saw it and slapped him right on his face.

And so men feared to come near her.

" Isis...let's go to the market" Razia invited Isis who was busy cleaning the living room.

" Yes mom" she said with a bright smile. Yes! Razia and Layla are her moms.

Isis wore her sandals and took the shopping bag, before joining Razia.

Isis always loved coming to market with her mothers and see the amazing displays.

" Let's buy some artifacts today and then we will buy vegetables" Razia said and Isis nodded as she held her hand.

The passersby were gazing at Isis, some even bumped on walls while looking at her ethereal looks.

Razia fake coughed and everyone got back to their works awkwardly.

As they were shopping, they heard some chaos.

" Move, move and bow... The Pharaoh is here with his concubine Lady Nefartari" A man said loudly and the women quickly got inside the shops, while the men sat and kneeled down.

Razia held Isis's wrist and hid behind a broken hay wall. Through the wall, only her eyes and her bare waist were visible.

She looked at the people bowing and there was no sound in the market at all.

After a few minutes, she heard the neighing of horses and saw several horses walking on the streets. She saw powerful men guiding the Pharaoh and his concubine.

The Pharaoh had long black hair, tanned skin and a dominating aura around him. He rode his black Horse and The concubine was in front of him, between his muscular arms.

He looked around and his eyes met those shining golden eyes, making him stop his horse.

Nefartari looked at him with confusion.

His subordinates stopped and looked at him with concern.

" Your highness?" His war minister Zonev asked, but halted when the Pharaoh moved his hand up to stop him from speaking.

When Isis found that the Pharaoh was staring at her eyes, she looked down in fright and held Razia's hand tighter.

The Pharaoh smirked and saw her tiny bare waist adorned with a flower piercing near her belly button.

" Hayden... Take Nefartari back to the palace" he ordered and Nefartari looked at him with a confused look.

Hayden bowed and helped the concubine on his horse. They rode back to the palace.

The Pharaoh got down and gestured his two guards to move the men away. The guards held two men and pushed them aside, making the people gulp in fright.

Razia noticed that the Pharaoh approached them. She gulped in fear and saw Isis being more afraid.

" Don't worry" she said to her softly and Isis nodded with anxiety.

" Remove this hay wall" he ordered the guards and Razia's sweat dropped.

The guards removed the hay wall and on seeing the person in front, The Pharaoh's breath hitched.

Isis and Razia looked down immediately, while shaking in fear.

Ramesses couldn't stop smirking on the power he held.

He tilted Isis's head up with his finger under her chin and Razia shivered in fright. Isis had her eyes closed.

" Open your eyes" he whispered near her lips, making her tremble and she slowly fluttered her eyes open, only to meet his dark green orbs.

" So, it was you,, huh?" he said with his deep and seductive voice.

" What is your name?" he asked in a demanding tone.

" I-Isis" Isis stuttered in fright.

" Isis? The Goddess who protects the Pharaohs?" He asked with a smirk and she gulped lightly.

He left her chin, making her look down and immediately held her waist pulling her close to him. Isis let out a surprised gasp and placed her palms on his muscular chest. She blushed seeing his strong and hard body.

" Liked it?" He asked with a smirk and Isis shook her head, while trying to free herself.

He pressed her body on his more, making her gasp more and he chuckled at her cute reactions.

"You are coming with me" he announced.

" Who is her guardian?" he asked in an authoritative voice.

" m-me your majesty" Razia stammered while still bowing.

"hmm... Rozen... Give this woman 500 gold pieces, 300 silver coins and Pashmina woolen clothes" he ordered.

Razia's eyes widened hearing his words.

" Y-Your majesty ... P-please don't take Isis" she pleaded.

He looked at her with raised eyebrows.

" Even after offering so many things, you are unwilling to send your daughter with me? How interesting? Should I just kill you then?" He asked with a dangerously handsome smirk.

" N-No" He heard a soft voice from his embrace. He looked down to see Isis shivering.

" What?"

" I-I will go with you...p-please don't kill my mother" She said softly and the Pharaoh hummed.

"Alright... I will spare your foolish mother, but... Will you be able to satisfy me on bed?" he whispered the last part near her ear and she gulped in fear.

" I-I will be your servant, but I-I can't bed y-you" she said nervously and that made him want her even more.

" we'll see that later on" He said arrogantly.

He picked her up on his horse, by her waist, making her yelp in surprise.

'Idiot Pharaoh!' she thought to herself and pouted.

The Pharaoh sat behind her and rode back to the palace.

Isis's eyes widened and she reflexively hugged him as he rode the horse too fast.

He looked down and smirked seeing her hold him tightly.

They reached the palace and it was huge.

" Woww!" Isis said in awe like a child, forgetting the fact that she was brought in by the Pharaoh .

" Give her a proper bath and send her to my chambers" he ordered to his maids and they bowed.

" W-wait .. Why your chamber?" Isis asked in nervousness. But the Pharaoh had already left from there. She gulped and looked at the maids.

" miss... Please follow us" one of them said and she had no other option than to follow her.

After a warm bath, she was dressed with proper clothes, ornaments and also flowers on her head.

" Miss, please follow me to his highness's chamber" Another maid said sweetly and Isis sighed in frustration.

They walked along the long corridors of the palace, until her eyes fell on an old maid huffing and panting while boring water from the pond, all alone.

Isis felt bad looking at such an old woman working so much.

" Wait" she said and the maid looked at her.

" Yes Miss?"

Without saying anything, Isis walked towards the old woman.

" Miss?" The maid panicked and followed her.

" Excuse me?" Isis pulled the old woman's attention towards her.

The woman looked at her, breathing heavily.

" Where are you taking these buckets of water?" She asked and the maid became confused.

" To the kitchen dear" she said with a tired smile.

Isis hummed and looked around. She saw a piece of long rubber cloth kept near the pillar, her eyes shone and she asked the maid to bring it.

The maid did as told. Isis asked for a kind of natural gum and the maid brought a bowl of yellow gum.

She made the rubber in a long tube and pasted it properly.

'I don't know what I am doing, but it is somehow done this way' she thought and continued her crafting.

" Do we have a type of nozzle?" she asked the maid.

" Yes ... But it is for different purpose" The maid said.

" Bring it please" Isis said and the maid rushed to bring a copper nozzle.

Isis took the nozzle and tied it to the tube and kept it in the bucket inside the kitchen. She took the other end and dipped it in the pond. Even the other servants and maids found it interesting and joined them to look at what she was doing.

She sighed and smiled at the old woman.

" Come here" she asked the maid softly. She nodded and followed her in the kitchen.

She stood in front of the copper tap and turned it around, making water fall in the bucket.

The maid gasped and with shaky hands, she turned the tap in the opposite direction and the water stopped falling.

" Now, you don't have to carry the heavy buckets' grandma" Isis said with a childish grin.

The maid's eyes teared up and she patted Isis's head lovingly.

" Thank you so much dear" she said sniffing.

The others were shocked too and they complimented her for this creation. She smiled shyly hearing all the compliments and praises.

" What is going on here?" As soon as they heard the voice, all of them kneeled down, except Isis who panicked and looked around to find an escape.
