Chapter 12: Annoyances and Plans

ZIGGURAT

5 DAYS LATER

Nakia sighs as stood in the throne room, Gilgamesh and Amani were currently in the gardens talking with the king of Nippur and Prince about something important. Nakia was busy with the festival planning, he was helping the servants with some of the more difficult matters.

"Right, I want the tables of offerings placed to the right of the throne, each one will be decorated for their respected gods," Nakia said giving out orders making two servants bow and leave.

Nakia turned to a guard beside him.

"Can you get a messenger to tell some of the temple priests of Ishtar and Ninsun to come here to oversee the tables being set up? I do not want the gods to be upset with us after such a good harvest this year," Nakia asked making the guard nod and leave.

"You're working hard," A voice said making Nakia jump and turn around to see Enkidu walking over to him.

"I'm just doing my part to help out," Nakia said

"Has there been any more trouble lately?" Enkidu asked while glancing around.

Nakia gave a small sigh as he said "Other than Jarnila's sad attempts at flirting with Gilgamesh and a few merchants getting into a dispute,"

"Ah, Jarnila's attempts have been bad haven't they? I heard some servants talking about her latest attempt," Enkidu said with a chuckle.

Since her arrival Jarnila has been trying to flirt with Gilgamesh when Amani isn't around, thinking that she could easily seduce the king but apparently she did not get the news that Gilgamesh does not have eyes for anyone other than Amani.

Everyone, from the guards to servants and locals, could see that Gilgamesh was fully devoted to Amani. So Jarnila was annoying everyone with her ways, Enkidu was sure his little mate had a few pranks planned in the long run for the woman.

"Yes, yesterday she tried to seduce Gil in a rather revealing outfit with her hinting at giving him a 'private dance' while I was talking to Gil about the recent mage recruits in the library, I thought for a moment he used a spell to teleport out of the library with how fast he left," Nakia said shaking his head.

"King Namtar has been keeping her in-line the best he can, while Ninazu is avoiding his sister," Nakia said while Enkidu steps forward and wrapped his arms around Nakia's waist.

The red-head smiled as Enkidu kissed his forehead saying "Why don't you take a quick break? I'm sure nobody will mind,"

"Hm, a break sounds good but only a short one! The last time I had a break with you, my love, it ended up being longer than necessary," Nakia said with a small scolding look at his husband though it lacked any heat behind it.

Enkidu chuckles unwrapping his arms from around Nakia's waist and leads him away.

LATER THAT DAY

Gilgamesh hums as he sat in the private gardens of his home with Amani as they have their evening meal outside, Nakia had informed them that he was taking care of the minor tasks of the festival that needed doing with Enkidu's help this let the royal couple have the afternoon to themselves.

The king looked over at Amani and saw him eating a plum slice, he was sat with his legs tucked under him and the flowers behind him made his beauty stand out. Gilgamesh smiled as he noticed a rose bush near them, he reached over, and being careful of the thorns he plucked a single red rose out he carefully removed the thorns and looked the rose over.

He then looked back at Amani and spoke.

"Amani," He said making Amani look over only to blink as Gilgamesh leans over and placed the rose behind his right ear.

Amani blushed a bit saying "Gil, I never expected you to be such a softie when it comes to romance,"

"Only for you and you alone, Amani," Gilgamesh said leaning over so their faces were close to each other.

"Hm, I love you Gil," Amani said softly a small smile on his lips as Gilgamesh reached up and held his chin as they closed the gap between them with a kiss.

It was gentle and slow, neither wanted to dominate the other. Lips moved against each other as Amani moved his hand to hold Gilgamesh's making their fingers interlock, the king hums enjoying the warmth and peace of the moment.

When the need to breathe became a problem the two pull back panting lightly, Amani rested his forehead against his kings. Moments like this made the stress of being a Queen well worth it.

"Oh, King Gilgamesh!" A voice said making the two pull back with a sigh from Amani while Gilgamesh growls.

"Does that mongrel have to ruin our peace and quiet!?" Gilgamesh growls as princess Jarlina came into view looking around.

"How did she get past the guards? This is the private garden, no guests are allowed here," Amani said using his magic to make an orb with a message inside, he sent it off to find the guards.

Jarnila then spotted them and walked over, her eyes held a flirty look in them when gazing at the king, she then noticed Amani and for a moment a glare was aimed his way. Amani kept a calm look as the princess gazed at the blanket with food and drink on it, she gave a smirk.

"What are you doing here, princess?" Gilgamesh asked tightening his grip on Amani's hand.

"I was looking for you King Gilgamesh, I was hoping to ask you about something," Jarnila said her tone of voice meant to be entrancing and alluring but the king saw right through it.

"Is it an important matter princess Jarnila?" Amani asked making the woman look at him.

"Speak up mongrel! You are disturbing mine and my Queen's time together," Gilgamesh said a bit of bite in his tone of voice.

"Um, I need to speak with the king alone since it's trouble related to my kingdom," Jarnila said stumbling over her words.

"Hm, King Namtar has not told me of any troubles lately in Nippur in our talks," Gilgamesh said remembering the many chats he has had with the king of Nippur.

"Well, I, uh," Jarnila said her cheeks turning a bit red in embarrassment at being caught off guard.

"If there are troubles with your kingdom princess Jarnila then ou speak to your father about them, it is his kingdom after all," Amani said as he reached down and picked up a goblet of wine and took a sip.

"O-of course," Jarnila said while Gilgamesh waved his hand in a dismissive manner.

"Leave now princess before I have you detained for trespassing into my private garden," Gilgamesh said a clear threat in his voice making Jarnila grit her teeth but she bows and quickly left.

"She wasn't very subtle was she?" Amani said amused.

"No, she was not," Gilgamesh said with a sigh before grunting as Amani placed his drink down and grabbed his shoulder.

Before Gilgamesh could speak he found himself laying down with his head on Amani's lap, he hums before chuckling as Amani held an apple slice to his lips. He accepted the slice as Amani ran his hand through his hair letting the king relax as the two went on with their afternoon.

MEANWHILE

"Damn it! I can't do anything when they're both together," Jarnila said as she made her way through the hallways of the ziggurat.

She went back to her room and began planning on how to get the king alone, she began thinking of the rules of royalty when she remembered one rule.

"Yes, that's it! If I can just get the king to sleep with me and I end up bearing fruit then he will have no choice but to make me his queen and get rid of that male," Jarnila said with a smirk before frowning.

"But how am I going to ensure that I bear fruit? Wait, the mages have potions and such for that, hm, I'll also need something to increase the king's lust so it will make thins easier for me," Jarnila said as she walked over to her bed and picked up her travel cloak and left her room.

She managed to leave the ziggurat grounds and using her cloak she hid as she looked around the market place for the items she needed, she couldn't get the potions from the mages in the ziggurat since they would question why she would need them and report her to Gilgamesh right away and ruin her plans.

She checked a few stalls but found them lacking until she arrived at one where a mage was selling some potions to a couple, walking over she saw it was just the items she needed.

"Welcome to my stall, what can I help you with?" The man asked as Jarnila smirks.

"I need a potion that will ensure I get pregnant and one to help my...partner with getting into the mood," Jarnila said as the man gave her a raised eye-brow but since he was a traveling man he thankfully, in Jarnila's case, did not recognize her.

"I see, having trouble bearing a child I know just the potion," He said moving over to his shelves and pulling a small pink bottled potion out.

"This potion here is a strong fertility potion, within a few days you will be bearing the child that you seek," The man said as he placed the potion before Jarnila.

"As for your partner, hm, how strongly do you need the potion to be?" The man asked.

"He has...trouble getting into the moon recently," Jarnila said thinking back to how the king has not reacted to her charms.

"Ah, one of those cases I see, a strong lust potion for your partner," The stall owner said as he looked around before he pulled out a small purple bottled potion.

"Here we go," He said and placed it down and gave Jarnila her price which she paid.

"I wish you luck in getting the child of your dreams," The man said waving as Jarnila left with potions in hand.

"Another happy customer," The man said before moving on to another customer, he was very busy with the upcoming festival this year.

ZIGGURAT

Once Jarnila was back in the ziggurat she went to her room and put her cloak away, she had the potions now she just had to work on her timing.

"Now the best time to do this will be during the festival, I can slip the potions into Gilgamesh drink, everyone's attention will be on the festival so no-one will see me sneak away the king and have my way with him, this plan is perfect," Jarnila said.

The festival was tomorrow so all she had to do was sneak into the kitchen and find the goblet of wine that belonged to Gilgamesh and spike his drink, she knew from the past festivals that he always kept a golden goblet just for festivals in the kitchen locked away since that goblet came from his mother. It was the king's way of showing his respect to his mother by drinking from it.

With her plan made Jarnila hid the potions and left her room, she headed towards the bathing area to relax before she put her scheme into action.

NEXT DAY

LATE AFTERNOON

After a long day, Jarnila saw her chance to sneak down to the kitchens, all say she had been waiting for her chance. Her father was busy teaching her brother something while that royal mage was doing a list of last-minute tasks with the Queen as the king was sorting the guards out with his clay being friend of his.

She looked around to see the servants leaving the kitchen with arms full of food, nodding she came out of her hiding place and made her way over to where the king's goblet was kept.

"Soon, this place will be mi-eh? Wait! Since where are there two!" Jarnila said pausing as she saw two golden goblets instead of one!

"Curses, which one is the kings again?" Jarnila asked herself looking between the goblets full of wine.

"I'll just do both of them, either way, the king is mine," Jarnila said as she undid the potions and poured the liquids into both goblets and mixed them up.

Nodding she looked around as she heard footsteps and quickly left while drinking the rest of the potions for herself.

Back in the kitchen a servant rushed into the room and looked around in a bit of a panic until she saw the goblets on the side and relaxed walking over to the cups.

"Phew, for a moment I thought no-one had these ready," She said picking the goblets up and taking them from the kitchen.

THRONE ROOM

Gilgamesh smirks as he stood beside Amani as the festival started, his queen was talking to Ninsun who had arrived to inspect her offerings personally and to see how her son and sons-in-law were doing.

Nakia had snuck off with Enkidu to the table with buttercake so he had a feeling they won't be seen for a while, knowing his friend Enkidu would set up their own little celebration in the garden to avoid any trouble.

"My king, my Queen, your wine," A servant said approaching with his personal golden goblet and Amani's new personal goblet for festivals.

He took the drinks and dismissed the servant as Ninsun looked over and smiled at seeing the cups.

"I remember when I first gave you that cup," Ninsun said as Gilgamesh gave Amani his cup.

"Yes, it was for my first festival as king," Gilgamesh said as he did a small cheer with Amani and his mother and took a sip of his drink.

"Hm, the wine is very sweet this afternoon," Amani said licking his lips.

"I brought my best wine for the occasion," Ninsun said with a smile as she looked over at her tablet of offerings.

"Oh? What's that? Excuse me my dears but something has caught my eye, I'll talk to both later," Ninsun said before leaving to check her offerings out.

"Let's get some food before it's all gone," Amani said with a small chuckle at his mother-in-law's actions.

Gilgamesh shook his head but agreed with Amani as they left the thrones and had some food, Amani got to hear of some local gossip and some of the new trends in Uruk while Gilgamesh talked with some mages about a new temple he wanted set up.

However, halfway through the festival, Gilgamesh began to feel strange. He felt hotter than normal, his mind kept wandering and his clothing began to feel rather restricting. He ran a hand through his hair which was flat at the moment as he looked over at Amani, he took in his queen noticing how he seemed to be tugging at his clothing while his cheeks flushed a bit from the wine.

Gilgamesh licked his lips as he noticed the way Amani's muscles flexed as he moved, how his veil/crown swayed as he moved and brought attention to his silky hair that made Gil's hands twitch to run through it. He growls a bit walking over to Amani getting his attention.

"Ah, Gilgamesh, I was just about to come and look for you, do you think we can head to the gardens? The room is starting to feel quite crowded," Amani said making the king nod.

"Of course, come, let us relax before we retire for the night," Gilgamesh said as Amani nods and bit the ladies he was talking to a good evening before following his husband out of the throne room.

'Ah, my body is so warm, ugh, I-I need to do something' Amani thought as he felt a rush of heat hit his body again.

He looked at Gilgamesh who seemed to be in a heated state as well, he felt his body react as they arrived at the main garden letting the cool breeze hit his skin making him groan.

He felt his hands tremble a bit as he turned to Gilgamesh and steps closer to him wrapping his arms around Gil's waist, he felt the heat coming from his love and gulps feeling his body react.

"Amani," Gilgamesh said making Amani look up to meet Gilgamesh's gaze which was full of heat.

"Gilgamesh," Amani said before gasping as he found himself pressed against a tree.

His lips were soon caught in a kiss that made something snap in them both, Amani's arms wrapped around Gil's shoulder as the king's hands trailed down his chest and waist caressing and groping as he went making Amani moan.

The queen moves so his knee rubbed against Gilgamesh's groin making the king growl into the heated kiss, Gilgamesh pulls back to catch his breath as Amani pants his face red as he licks his swollen lips.

"Ah, Gilgamesh I need you, uh," Amani gasped as the heat became intense his body trembled as a light sweat broke out across his skin.

"And I need you, Amani, let us quench our needs," Gilgamesh said picking Amani up and left the gardens.

He took the quickest route back to the royal chamber and somehow managed to avoid running into anyone. By the time they arrived in their chamber both were beyond reason as jewelry was thrown to the floor, Amani took his headpiece off and placed it aside before yelping as he was picked up and placed on the bed.

"Are you ready?" Gilgamesh asked his voice husky and promising pleasure, his eyes heated as he pinned Amani to the bed.

"Let us bathe in pleasure, my love," Amani said his own voice low and seductive the heat making his desires plain to see.

"I will make sure you bathed in the highest of pleasures," Gilgamesh all but purred as he pulled him into a heated kiss.
