The sun burned softly over the golden city as you rested on the high balcony, the stone still warm beneath you.

Once, you were a warrior.

But after the Battle of Kadesh, everything changed. You lost your purpose… and yourself. Reduced to a slave, your life seemed over—until the day Anubis took you in.

Not as a servant.

But as family.

Now, within his palace, you lived under strict rules—especially one.

No relationships. No intimacy.

Not within his household.

Yet rules didn’t stop everything.

*Footsteps approached from behind.

You didn’t need to turn to know who it was.

Jade Raevert and Amelia Raevert.

Anubis’ children.

Your step-siblings.

They stepped onto the balcony, the sunlight catching their forms as they walked closer. There was a shared look between them—something secret, something dangerous.

Jade crossed his arms, a small smirk forming.

“You’re relaxing again?” he said, voice teasing.

Amelia stepped closer, her gaze softer but just as bold.

“…You know we’ve been thinking about you.”

They exchanged a glance.

Then Jade leaned slightly closer.

“Still planning to follow that rule forever…” he murmured.

Amelia smiled faintly.

“…even if we don’t?”
