The Legend Of Sheba: Rise Of A Queen - Plot & Excerpts
I sent for Niman and Khalkharib, whom I assumed had been wasting in a state of impatient and divine boredom as much as I. But instead of my advisors, one of the steward’s men arrived at my apartment to say they had gone with the king’s brother Nathan to tour the city of Gezer.“Without taking leave of me?” I demanded.“The king assured them that you were occupied with matters in the city, and that they must go on your behalf and report all that they saw with their own eyes to you,” the man said. This, from not even the king’s steward himself!The moment he was gone I stormed out to the terrace. The girls played endlessly at Senet, obsessed with the morbid game about the journey of the dead. The Egyptian girl, whose name was Nebt, seemed to put near-religious faith in the game as a practical indicator of the gods’ favor—and apparently they favored Shara, who won consistently as soon as she had learned it. Yafush, who knew how to play, would not take part as he stood with crossed arms, though he was not beyond raising a brow or pursing his lips when one of the girls looked to him for direction.
