Neith's Pov

Its been a few weeks since I found out the truth about my father. I have been dying to investigate it since but I promised Aahotep and Ammon I wouldn't.

Jabari is still a suspect and Ammon seems to be taking the news pretty hard. Anka is still unaware of it which took me a great deal of mental power from letting it slip by. The last thing she needs to worry about is this. But she isn't stupid either. She does suspects something is wrong.

"Something on your mind?" came a familiar voice. I turned to see Aahotep. He's late.

Aahotep and me still continued to have a duel everyday. It seemed to help take my mind off things for a bit and I guess it was the same for him too.

"Nothing much," I say as I walk towards him, my sword at my side.

"You shouldn't lie to your husband," Aahotep said, looking at me with a smirk.

I ignored the funny feeling I felt in my chest. It seemed to appear often lately especially when he would say things like this. Was I sick? Maybe I need to visit the swnw?

"And you shouldn't accuse your wife of lying," I said lifting my sword, ready for a duel. Perhaps this time I could win.

He just grinned at me and took his position.

********

"Your getting better. Maybe in a few years you'll be as good as me," Aahotep said, slightly out of breath.

I had lost again but his words seemed to cheer me up a bit.

"I will... defeat you... soon," I say, way out of breath. How does this man keep up his composure? Its truly intriguing.

Here I am sweating like a pig whereas he was hardly panting. In a way it enraged me but at the same time my respect for him just continued to increase.

"I look forward to that day. Also I some news I wish to discuss with you. Are you free?" Aahotep asked, looking a little too happy.

"Yes, something good happened?" I asked, a little curious.

"Yes, something really good. After you freshen up come the the the southern garden. I'll tell you there," Aahotep said, smiling radiantly.

"Fine will be there after I clean up," I say. I wondered what it could be about. Maybe it was about father's death?

Aahotep nodded and with that he walked away. I too headed towards my chamber quickly and washed up. I threw on a fresh pair of pants and a cotton top. I than headed towards the rose garden.

I arrived and saw that Aahotep was already there. He was sitting on one of the marble benches and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. He seemed relaxed and happy as he had a small smile on his lips. I unconsciously smiled and walked towards him.

"What are you thinking of?" I asked, once I was close. He seemed slightly startled by my presence than moved a bit so I could sit.

"I was thinking how beautiful and peaceful our lands are going to be," Aahotep said, smiling widely. I frowned in confusion.

What did he mean by that?

"Remember I told you about the peace treaty and that I had discussed with the neighbouring kingdoms during your birthday party?" Aahotep asked. I recalled the conversation I and Aahotep had about it. I nodded and he continued.

"Well I got the reply from them this morning," Aahotep said, the wide smile still spread across his face.

"All of them agreed?" I asked, shocked.

"Yes, well everyone did except the Hittites. We are going to gather here in a few weeks to sign the agreement," Aahotep said with so much joy that it seems to rub onto me as well.

"That's wonderful! This is... I can't even believe this. This means no more wars between the countries, no more blood will be shed," I said happily and proceeded to hug Aahotep without realizing what I was doing.

Aahotep just froze up and before he could react I jumped up, releasing him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to... um... I was just so happy that I... um..," I stuttered, looking to the ground. My heart was beating so fast and my stomach was twisting in weird ways. What was happing to me? Was I going to die?

Aahotep got up and embraced me.

"Thank you, in a way your responsible for this too. There is you don't need to apologise for hugging your husband," Aahotep said and even though I couldn't see his face I knew he was smirking. I pushed him away and gave him a glare.

My heart was beating even more faster than before and my mind seemed to be blank.

"What in Aten's name did you do that for?" I asked, trying to sound angry.

Aahotep laughed,"Is hugging my lovely wife a crime?"

Lovely wife? What was wrong with him? And what was happening to me?
His words made my chest feel weird.

"Did you hit your head? You promised no funny business," I said, looking at him fiercely or tried too.

"That was when you hated me. But now you don't semm to so that doesn't apply," Aahotep said, his eyes dancing with mischief.

With each step he took my heart beat accelerated. I took a step back. Just because I didn't hate him doesn't mean I liked him. Right?

He seemed to have sensed my discomfort.

"Is your heart beating fast every time you see me and your stomach doing summersaults?" Aahotep asked, proceeding to move closer. Like a lion who was cornering it prey.

My mouth fell open. How did he know?

Aahotep smiled devilishly and moved closer. I moved back but the bushes behind prevented me to move any further. He leaned in and whispered in my ear,"I'll take your reaction as a yes. That means you like me and I don't intend on keeping any more distance between us. Remember you have been warned."

With that he moved back and headed out of the garden but not before giving me a grin. His eyes seemed different, they were more darker then before. They said something but I couldn't put my finger on it. I stood there, frozen stiff like a frightened animal.

What in the world just happened?
