Atem was being kept up by a similar train of thought. He had seen the hints of wisdom in her eyes. Yet he wondered what it was that made the innocent princess want to visit Earth so badly. Surely she had heard the stories of all the wars Earthlings had. The stories of how they killed each other over things as little as how they looked at each other.

He was surprised that she had seemed to not even know the stories of how merciless he himself was. Surely Queen Serenity wouldn't have kept her only daughter ignorant of the dangers, would she? He doubted it. Then he thought of the fear he had seen in her eyes. How quickly it had gone away after he had introduced himself. She had only been afraid of him because she hadn't known who he was. Even so, from the moment he saw her he hated seeing the fear in her eyes and wanted to never put that in her eyes again.

That alone was not normal for the Pharaoh, who usually didn't care whose eyes he put fear into. But yet, he cared about whether or not he scared the princess. It had nothing to do with potential wrath of the Moon Kingdom and its allies either. Could it be, that he was falling for the Moon princess?

He could definitely say that he wanted to touch her. That flawless pale skin of hers just had to be soft to the touch. Those pink lips of hers definitely looked soft and were just begging to be kissed. Her golden locks looked as though they had been kissed by Ra himself, yet they also seemed to go on forever. Her innocent blue eyes reminded him of the calm flowing Nile. The only difference being that he could happily get lost in her eyes forever. That would be assuming she would give him the chance.

But he was getting ahead of himself here. Since it seemed she would be staying a while, he'd have plenty of time to get to know the princess better. Well provided pressing things don't come up in his duties as Pharaoh. For now he would take things one day at a time and see how that went. For now, he had to try to plan out how he would show her a good time on her first full day. Breakfast followed by the tour of the palace. The tour alone was likely to take plenty of time, a good way to get to know her better and for her to get to know him.

And he did believe in a fair exchange. Serenity would be someone different he could talk to other than his priests and his cousin Seth. Already he felt he could relate to her somewhat. Being royalty and the duties that came along with such a role, even if she was still but a princess and he was a Pharaoh.

He shook his head as he laid in bed with a low chuckle. Who was he kidding? There was no way she'd fall for him. There was too much darkness around him, in him. Just as she was full of and surrounded by light. But then again, Atem wasn't one to just give up so easily.

With another chuckle, he closed his eyes. He was going to hope to be up earlier than she would wake so he could send a group of servants to look after her in the morning. With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
