Fated to Love You (Egyptian Cinderella story)

The Execution

—-Aziza POV—-

The whole kingdom had been summoned for my step families execution. I actually kinda felt bad. They may have done a lot of terrible things but they didn't deserve to die. I was walking with Seti and Chavi to the event. When we got there I went up to the Pharaoh. "Your Majesty, can I make a request?" He gave me a quick look nodding his head as his face remained emotionless. "Can I request that you don't kill them............I don't think they should be put to death..." The Pharaoh face filled with interest. "After everything they have done to you, you want to help them...... Why?"

I disconnected our eye contact taking a deep breath then reconnected it. "I admit I can't stand the site of them. In fact I hate their guts! But I don't think it's right to just take someone's life away. If they were to be hanged for killing someone then I really wouldn't mind because that is a crime even I can not forgive but the point is they haven't killed anyone so I don't think this is the proper punishment." The Pharaoh gave a quick smile. "I'm afraid I am not near as merciful as you or my wife. You two can forgive easily while I can not. So I appologize for I'm afraid I can't accept your request as there is nothing I want to see more than that rotten wench killed!" I looked over at my stepmother with pity. "Then I have another request to ask of you. Could you perhaps let Retsa and Resza go? They never laid a finger on Seti or ordered him to be whipped.m I don't think it is fair to punish them for their mother;s crime."

The Pharaoh started to give me a glare. But I held my ground. So his expression softened. "Very well." Then he gestured to the guards to let them go. I smiled. "Thank you Pharaoh, I shall not forget this favor." I bowed to him then walked away. I found a seat next to Seti and then he put his arm around me. "You're too nice! You should have just let them die with her..." I gave Seti a look of horror. "Don't you dare start disregarding human life like your father does! Or I swear I will end our relationship with one another right now!"

He put his hands up in defense. "Whoa! Calm down! I was only kidding." I crossed my arms giving him a sour look. "Well it was a lame one! You haven't changed at all! You're still a moron!" He took his arm off of me and started pouting at me. "Well you're still a walking contradiction." I was about to hit him when the bell started ringing for the execution. My step sisters were released while my step mother was brought to a hanging post and attached. Before long she was in the air and Retsa and Resza started crying.

Once her motionless body stopped moving the crowd started to go wild. Especially Chavi. You know I met Dalila once and I can't imagine what she'd think if she saw her daughter acting like this considering how proper and lady like she is. They would be coming for Seti and I's wedding and be surprised to find Chavi here alive and well. Especially when she is my maid of honor. Just thinking about the wedding had me so terrified. Like who knows what will happen? What if Seti dies before it happens! Or what if the Pharaoh changes his mind and doesn't actually allow us to marry after all? Why am I acting like this? I just need to calm down.

I think Seti sensed my distress because he quickly put his arms around me in a comforting notion. Pulling me in to a very tight hug. "It will be fine. Stop worrying about it so much..." He reassured me. I smiled at him and hugged him back. Mostly everyone had left the execution site by now. So Seti and I soon left together walking to his room. "Hey Seti?" He turned to look at me. "Yeah?" He asked. I was quiet for a moment before saying. "What exactly is a wedding like? I've never actually seen one before."

Seti quickly started laughing. "I can promise you that they probably aren't very different from what you've heard about them." I started pouting and then he started laughing. "Stop laughing at me! You totally didn't answer my question! That's the worst answer I've ever heard!" He started laughing. "Well I've never actually been to one either." I looked at him with shock. "My dad didn't let me leave the palace remember?" I gave a look of understanding finally getting it. "How sad.... You haven't lived at all."

Suddenly Seti got really defensive. "What are you talking about? Yes I have!" I started laughing. "Well, well, mentally you are still a 5 year old!" He started to give me dirty looks. "No I'm not!" He looked away quickly while muttering under his breath. "And you're still a jerk!" I raised and eyebrow at him while walking over to him. "What was that?" I asked as he decided I wasn't worth responding to. So I decided to take this to a whole nether level. I started a tickling war. I started to tickle him. First he seemed surprised before he then started laughing while at the same time trying to remove my hands from his stomach.

He started huffing out in between laughs and breaths. "Stop!." I kept tickling him. "Please stop it!" Then he turned the tables and got my hand off of him and started tickling me instead. I started laughing uncontrollably. "Serves you right! You started this after all." He said with a devilish grin on his face. I then started kicking him hard; trying to get him off of me. After what felt like an eternity we finally stopped and were both lying there.............. on the floor............. Completely out of breath. "You're stupid." I finally mustered up the energy to say. "Don't blame me you're the one who started it." He said back with a slight laugh. I just took another deep breath before repeating. "I swear, you're so stupid!"
