As Tut caught up with me, I tried to hold back a smile. It was just a couple seconds ago that it was me trying to catch up with him before and now it's the other way around.

I saw something flash through his face a couple of minutes ago, at first I was going to ignore it and think it wasn't something important but me being me of course. It tugged onto me telling me that maybe I should ask.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't realize that Tut had opened his chambers doors.

"My King, I have come to get you and the mistress for the questioning." The guard said.

Tut nodded his head, looking back at me as if he were asking if I was ready. I gave him a look, letting him know I was and we walked out of Tut chambers as the guard walked behind us.

"My King and My Mistress, which man would you like to speak with first?" The guard asked us, I already knew who I wanted to talk to first. When Tut was giving his speech and I was looking for any certain reaction that could fit the situation that had to do with us. I noticed the two men and I saw how their reactions were on their faces. I definitely wanted to talk to the man who looked like he was regretting something that he didn't even want to be a part of. There's a story there and I definitely wanted to talk to him first. Something just didn't feel right, it was like a game and even a puzzle.

"My King, if it is okay with you. I think we should talk to the nervous one who seems to regret something first." I said to Tut and he stared at me, giving me a smile.

Probably happy as hell he has me calling him 'My King' gosh this is going to take getting used to.

"Of course. That sounds like an intelligent idea, Salem I would like you to be Mala personal guard. As in you will be the true guard to protect her no matter what. I believe you know how important this role is, I believe you know that role is also an upgrade to the regular guard role you have now." Tut said and my eyes widen.

He did what now?

He just gave me a bodyguard without going over it with me?

I mean, I'm not stupid. I know my life is in danger here, especially Tuts life but it still would be nice if he actually took the time to consider my thoughts on having a personal bodyguard.

I turned around to look at Salem and his eyes were wide, he looked stung. I mean, of course, he would be. Tut randomly just upgraded his job. He didn't see this coming and I certainly did not see this coming. I was coming to respect Tut, he has let me have a say in many things I shouldn't even have a say in. Which is why I'm not really going to object to him giving me a bodyguard. If Tut can learn to trust me with everything I have done so far, why shouldn't I be able to do the same thing? If he feels like this is important, me having a bodyguard then I have no reason to object.

I smiled at Salem. "Please take care of me," I said and he bowed his head down, raising his head back up and giving me a smile back. "Of course my lady." He said.

My smile widens and I turned around again to continue walking.

I assumed we reaching the rooms where they kept the men because of the guards that were standing in front of two doors that were across each other.

I asked the guard to not let the men know that they're literally in the rooms across from each other and also to bring them in the rooms that they were supposed to be waiting in at different times.

"Pharoah Tut and Mistress Amala." The guards all say, bowing their heads.

I smiled at each guard, making eye contact with each one. I never was one to think others were better than other people. I didn't care about ranks and I wanted to the guards to know I was grateful for their help. I wanted them to know that I respected them also.

Tut looked back to speak to Salem. "Which room has the nervous one who looks like he's filled with regret?" He asked Salem who pointed towards the door we were a couple feet away from.

This showed me that the man in that room must have looked nervous to everyone if the guards instantly knew who Tut was talking about. Yes, he definitely had something to hide and unlucky for him. He didn't have a good poker face. Neither men did, where one was nervously filled with regret showing it all over his face. The other showed anger.

Tut nodded his head and looked at me.

"Are you ready?" He asked me and I gave him a look as if I was saying 'are you kidding me? Hello, I planned this.' he looked at me with a smirk and rolled his eyes.

"Very well, let us go." We walked towards the door and the guards opened them for us.

Salem followed us in, his job with being my personal bodyguard just started of course so he definitely wasn't going to leave my side now.

I didn't mind that but of course, I would discuss when he can't be by my side. I mean I don't know how I feel about a guard being close to me while I'm bathing or using the bathroom.

Speaking of bathrooms, what the heck do they even use here and how come I haven't used the bathroom yet?

I still haven't even eaten.

When we were fully in the room, the man who was sitting behind a table looked up at Tut, with a nervous looked, he seemed shocked that we were actually here.

I looked at the guard that was stationed in the room, to find him standing in front of the wall.

I doubt he did anything to the man, I did tell them not to do anything to the men but stand in front of the wall facing them.

I smiled at the guard who was doing exactly what I had asked and he looked shocked at the fact I was giving him a smile. I noticed his face was getting to a red dark shade. I was going to question myself why he was so shocked by the smile when he returned it. I nodded my head and turned back around to face the man who was staring at Tut like he was the grim reaper himself.

"I hope my Guard Kaiden has treated you well. I'm sure you know why you're here." Tut said sitting in the chair across the table in front of the guy.

I stayed standing, I wanted to analyze the Man face reactions while Tut spoke to him.

I was looking for the reason why he was behaving in such a way.

The man in front of me look like he was ready to wet his self, he looked like he's around the age of 40. I know the King is sitting in front of him but I feel like there is so much more to this. What in the world could have this man so scared?

"Yes, your..... highness they have." The man said.

I noticed that the man was starting to sweat. Something was definitely not right. This man wasn't only acting in this way because he was scared he seemed to be behaving this way for other reasons.

I decided I should speak.

"Hello, My name is Amala. What is your's?" I said walking to the seat next to Tut and sitting on it.

The man looked at me and his eyes widen, it took me a second to realized he didn't know I was in the room. He was to busy being scared of Tut to check his surroundings. That's when I knew many people feared Tut, it's not good to be a King and have that many people fear you.

What did Tut do?

"My name is Atticus, Mistress Amala." He said.

"Atticus, I like your name. I've once heard a story of a man named Atticus. He fought against many things, I was wondering if you could tell me why you're scared? Yes, you were summoned by the King but there is much into it why you're behaving this way. You're scared out of your mind, you're sweating, your legs are shaking and your face is filled with a regretful expression. Someone is causing you to feel this way and it is not the King sitting beside me that's the caused of this Atticus. So who is?" I asked and Atticus eyes widen even more, it was like I hit the nail squarely on the head.

I had a hunch, someone had him feeling this scared, but who? Could it have been the Queen? No. I feel like the Queen would do something more complicated than this, I hate to admit this but from the vibe, I got from the Queen. This was simply child's play. There is no way she would do something like this after all this is the woman who did some witchcraft crap to bring me here from the freaking future. She wouldn't do something this low, she likes higher plans. Just thinking that caused a shiver to run through my body.

"Before you say you can not tell us, I would consider you to think highly of it," Tut said.

Atticus lowered his head and let out a breath.

"I didn't want to be a part of this, I don't want to be a part of anything that leads to people getting hurt." He said and I nodded my head.

"What do they have over your head and how was this plan?" I asked Atticus.

He looked at me with tears in his eyes and then he look at Tut.

"My King, they have been trying to kill for you for months," Atticus said and Tut eyes widen but went back to normal.

"Who?" Tut asked.

"A lot of people want you dead My King, the Mistress is right. I don't want to be a part of the people who want you dead but surely you realize that they're people out there who want you dead. Especially this year." He said.

My breathing stop for a couple of seconds.

"Tut.... How old are you now?" I asked Tut, he looked at me with a weird look but answer my question.

"I am in my year 19 why do you ask?" He said and I stared at him right back....

No wonder I was brought back here. No wonder there have been so many threats against his life the short period of time I have been here, why the hell did my mind not come to this conclusion. No wonder Atticus was shaking life a leaf-like it's Autumn.

Tut dies in his 19th year, this is the year that King Tut is killed, yes I should have figured that out but not only that. This is the year were a lot of fucked up things start happening to him.

Till this day no one knows how exactly he was murdered because so many chances were taken at him.

So that means that they're threats everywhere and I'm not even going to know when the next hit is going to be,

So many things were thrown at him from what I learned. I was glad that I studied so much. I am glad that I am a nerd.

Although I had studied so much doesn't mean I am not going to admit that this very moment we're basically two deer's caught in the headlights.

Why may you ask? Because no one knows's how King Tut was killed which means attack were coming left and right. No one knows how, not even me, not even history books and heck I don't even think he would know.

There's one thing these people who are trying to kill Tut didn't plan out, having me here with him and I am not going to let them end his life.

He doesn't even know the things I know and even though I don't want to. After we are both done interrogating these two men. I would have to sit with Tut and talk to him about the things I know and what is going on.

"How many times so far...... How many times so far have they attack Tut without him knowing?" I asked Atticus.

That got Tut full attention, that also got Kaiden & Salem the guards attention.

Atticus, let out a breath. Knowing that the answer is going to devastate everyone in the room.

"10 times." He said and Tut slammed his fist on the table.

"What do you mean 10 times?! How has this happen." Tut yelled and Atticus shook.

I put my hand on Tut fist, trying to let him know that I am here and that I will be here for him. I wanted him to be calm.

"Kaiden..... Bring in the one who cooks Tuts meals." I said and Atticus let out a gasp. A shock that I said that. The room was quiet until realization has hit everyone there.

I spoke again.

"Oh Atticus, have no fear. We're handling this today. You said 10 times. You said that you don't want to be a part of this. So people have been trying to harm Tut. So let's start with one way they can. Poison and why not start with the person who handles the king's food." I said.

I turned to look at Kaiden.

"Bring in the person who handles the food, I believe we have our first suspect who seems to be the person who was handling the poison," I said.

Kaiden nodded his head and left the room.

I felt Tut staring at me but I squeezed his hand.

"Have no fear my King, I will protect you. Also, don't worry about what you have consumed. My grandmother has taught me many things. I will clean your system for you." I look into Tut eyes.

"I will protect you," I said in a soft voice and I damn well meant it.

No one was going to kill this man, I don't care what History says. History didn't plan for me to be here and so that's already a step proving that History is going to change.
