Chapter 246 - Secret love!

But, soon the Egyptian queen Dalilah fell in love with Cho, a common man from Qing dynasty*. He had come to The New Kingdom to start his own trade. The queen often started to disguise herself into a common lady and escape from the palace to meet Cho. She would stay for hours in Cho's house and sneak back to the palace at night. Her husband, King Horus was too busy to notice the absence of his wife.

Untill, her sixteen year old son Khufu, returned from the hunt, after seven months. Unlike his father, Khufu was a noble man, with a golden heart. His long golden locks and grey eyes were just like his mother's.

Soon, Horus declared Khufu as the new king and left the reigns of the kingdom in his hands. He wanted to spend the further life in leisure and peace. But, Khufu could never follow his father's rules. The rules were now more relaxed and fair for the slaves. The labour was given due wages and peseants did not have to give away their entire crops, but could keep 50% of their harvest. Queen Dalilah was also now given more respect, whereas Horus was now just engrossed in women and liqour.

One fine evening, queen Dalilah covered herself with a linen robe and escaped from the palace. She walked amidst the crowded market, hiding her face in her rope. But soon it started raining and she quickly paced towards Chao's home. By the time she knocked at the door of the small mud-house, she was completely drenched. Chao opened the door, surprised to see Dalilah, all wet.

"Dalilah! Please come in. You will fall sick!"

Dalilah smiled and stepped inside, while Chao quickly lit up the fire place. He quickly took out a white colored simple robe and handed over to her. "Here! Wear this. Least the water will effect you."

Dalilah looked in Chao's eyes and smiled, taking the robe in her hand. Chao could not take his eyes off from her grey eyes. Her wet golden hair and skin were shining beautifully. Her painted red lips, were pulling him closer to her. He came closer to her and untied the belt on her rob, opening it instantly. Her naked frontal body was covered in water droplets. Chao caressed his hands on her breasts, making her shudder. But she did not stop him. His hands went down, gently touching her navel. Dalilah closed her eyes, feeling his gentle touch moving downwards slowly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and they both looked at the door, startled as if waking up from a dream.

"Quickly wear this."

Dalilah quickly changed into the white rob and rushed to hide behind a sand pillar, in the corner of the room.
