Young Love
I sighed as I watched my parents dance the final dance of the night.
My name is Anuket, and I'm the daughter of Pharaoh Atem and Mana. I've always wanted a love such as theirs.
I looked to my left to see Gamal, chatting with Akhenaten.
I sighed again, knowing Gamal would never see me as more than friends.
You see, I've had this rather huge crush on him for as long as I can remember, since we were both born in the palace.
I turned my gaze to the floor before standing and announcing to both boys that I was retiring for the night. They both nodded and bid me goodnight, resuming conversation afterward.
As I walked to my room, I ran into Osiris, my personal servant.
"Milady, your bedchamber is all ready for you to go to bed, just as you asked," he said.
"Thank you, Osiris. You are relieved from your duties for the night," I told him, continuing my walk.
When I reached my room, I noticed something peculiar.
My diary was lying, open, on my bed, as if someone had read it.
I knew it wasn't Osiris, because he always respects me.
That leaves only four people. Gamal, Akhenaten, my mother, and my father.
I picked it up and placed it back in my hiding spot.
I was almost completely sure it was my father, as he was the only person sloppy enough to leave evidence.
I decided I would confront him about it in the morning.
I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, not even bothering to change.
~The Next day~
When I woke, I knew that the first thing I needed to do was talk to my father about his diary reading problem.
I changed into my normal clothes and left for breakfast.
I sat down next to my mother and started eating, being as I was late.
Again.
"Anuket, you need to start getting up earlier," said Mother.
I sighed.
"Does it really matter?" I asked in a sassy voice.
"Don't use that tone with me, young lady. Not only am I your mother, but I am also your ruler, along with your father," she scolded.
"You know what? I don't care!" I yelled, "I don't care that you and Father are the rulers of Egypt! I don't care that I'm the future leader of Egypt! I never asked to be born in the palace or be royalty! Sometimes, I just want to be normal!"
And with that, I burst into tears and ran off to my room.
I slammed the door behind me as my tears continued.
After a few moments, I heard a knock at the door.
"Go away," I sobbed.
"Princess, please let me in."
"No, Daddy, go away!"
"Please?"
I sniffled and walked to the door, opening it slightly.
"What do you want?" I asked, my voice shaky from crying.
"I want to talk to you about that little outburst in the dining hall," he answered, opening the door completely and walking in, "Darling, you need to control your temper."
"Yeah, well, you need to stop reading diaries," I back-sassed.
He sighed.
"This. This is exactly the kind of thing you need to work on. You can't sass me or your mother. Do you understand?"
"Yes, but why'd you read my diary?"
"Because I have every right to. I love you very much, Princess, but I still have to punish you. Hand over all your writing stuff."
I sighed and gave him all my quills, ink, and papyrus.
"Thank you. It's not too late to come back to breakfast, you know," he informed me.
"Okay, I'll come," I said, standing and walking back to the dining hall.
