Chapter Seven

SENI

“Are we brothers?”

When Seni and his mother had gone to exile in Nubia one year ago, his uncle had welcomed them to his home with open arms.

But once he learnt Seni had lost a whole empire because of a woman, he had grown furious. He’d refused to give Seni his warriors for his vengeance. Seni had had to earn them with sweat and blood.

He became a warrior for hire, fighting for the kings stretching all the way from the South to the North, in Kerma.

He had to forget who he was, an imperial heir, because on the battlefield, all men bled the same, whether high-born or not.

He had promised his mother he would take her home to Kitara, and this kept him going during those brutal battles where he watched his men die in their own filth, when he was injured, and when they were surrounded by the enemy. He would fight his way out and triumph—there was no other way.

He lost himself into war. On feverish nights when his broken limbs pained him, he saw Nila’s smile as he drifted in and out of consciousness.

She looked down at him, reaching for his hand, glowing like she had swallowed the sun. She would place a soft kiss on his lips, and he would wake up calling out for her.

“Ah, the princess of Sheba brought you back again.” Setut would sigh, helping Seni sit down.

In waking life, he did not forget her betrayal. Her pretence, her crocodile tears as she told him she could not marry him.

Together with her father, they had made a fool out of him, and that kept him going, too.

His need for vengeance fuelled him for the whole year. His skill in battle earned him the moniker ‘bringer of death.’

Three months ago, he’d heard about the princess of Sheba. Nila had become the succubus. He had seen her in Kush, walking in the Merowi markets, looking more beautiful than he remembered her to be, something he’d not thought possible.

He had lost so much because of her, he simmered with rage as he watched her. Soon, he would begin his journey back to the highlands, and with the warriors and the gold he had earned, he would get his empire back.

He’d thought about how to best deal with Nila and had paid the gold asked, and more on top of that.

She’d taken the bait and had walked into his tent with nothing but pearls underneath her cloak. Long gone was the shy princess he once knew. In front of him stood a full-blown seductress, beautiful with a body built by the wicked god of lust.

He’d fucked her throughout the night, his deep hatred for her in equal measure with his desire.

He’d wanted her to see him take back everything she and her father had connived to steal from him. So he kept her, and collared the traitorous princess to humiliate her like she had him, when he’d been forced into exile.

On this last stretch back home, he’d wanted her to see him triumph.
