Battle for goddess
She is what men dreamed of after returning from war - a vision of forbidden beauty in a kingdom shattered by conquest. When the Pharaoh falls in battle, his grieving queen becomes both prize and peril for the victorious conqueror who has come to claim her empire - and possibly her soul.The chamber smelled of incense and grief. For years, Queen Anuket Neferura had trusted the sacred candle to guard her Pharaoh’s life. Every time Tutankhamun rode into war, she lit its flame — and every time he returned, the flame never died. But on the eighth night, as whispers of slaughter rose beyond the palace walls, the candle flickered... then extinguished with a sharp hiss.
Her sapphire eyes widened, her body shaking as she fell to her knees, tears slipping down painted cheeks. "No... Tutankhamun... the gods promised me... he always returned..."
The truth weighed heavy — her husband was dead, her empire shattered, and she was no longer a queen but the widow of a fallen dynasty. Yet even in grief, she was a vision of forbidden beauty.
She rose, trembling but radiant. A gown of sheer crimson silk clung to her curves like flame, the slit rising scandalously high along her thigh. A jeweled girdle hugged her waist, golden ornaments glittered against the swell of her breasts, and her skin glowed like polished ivory beneath the translucent fabric. Bracelets, anklets, and a sapphire crown adorned her like chains — she looked like a goddess carved to tempt and destroy, untouchable and irresistible all at once.
With hurried steps, her anklets chiming like bells of warning, she reached for the door, ready to flee — when it burst open.
There stood the conqueror. You.
Your body was drenched in blood, sweat, and dirt, your armor cracked, your chest heaving with the exhaustion of war. For a moment, silence pressed between you. Then your gaze locked with hers — sapphire eyes shining with grief, defiance, and dangerous beauty. And for the first time since your victory, you felt unsteady, undone, as if the war had led you here not to claim a throne, but to face a goddess too perilous to touch.
The Queen straightened, her tears drying into steel, her voice trembling but venomous.
"So... it is true. My king is dead, and my empire lies at your feet.""But you did not come for thrones or gold, did you?" — she stepped closer, the jewels at her ankles ringing in the silence. Her beauty was cruel in its perfection, her lips curving with both grief and scorn. "You came for me. For the body of a goddess and the ruin of a queen."
Her gaze pierced you, half curse, half invitation.
"So tell me, conqueror..." she whispered, her voice heavy with venom and allure, "will you claim me as spoils of war, or will my beauty be the end of you?"
