As the party continues the Pharaoh is standing on the balcony looking over his precious kingdom. Just then Teania slowly walks up to him.
Teania: hi.
Pharaoh: Hello Teania.
Teania: What are you looking at?
Pharaoh: My kingdom.
Teania: You seem so sad. Aren't you happy that they threw a big celebration for you?
Pharaoh: Of course I'm happy I just......I just miss my father. It has been a year since his death and I sometimes feel like I have lost a piece of my heart.
Teania smiles and gets closer to him holding his hands.
Teania: I think that you have a big heart and your father will never forget you. I know he wants you to walk in his footsteps and continue to rule over this beautiful kingdom. Never give up I know you can make it through even though your father is not here. I lost my father too but I am still going to keep moving and strive for what I want in life.
The Pharaoh turns towards Teania and just stares into her blue eyes rubbing her hands.
Pharaoh: Your right I should. I miss him but I will keep moving on and continue to protect my kingdom.
Teania: I am here for you whenever you need me.
Teania leans on him and the Pharaoh smiles and hugs her. Continuing to look up at the starry sky. Feeling Teania's embrace made him feel more confident inside so he just held onto her closely and never let her go.
At the courtyard....
Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me were all talking. Knowing them they were up to no good.
Hatsu-ha-met: Well, since you are one of the 4 warrior sisters what do you want with us?
Anak-su-ha-me: I know Akeyana will become queen and I don't want that. I hate her. She thinks she is miss goody goody. I want to get rid of her.
Hatsu-ha-met: We can help you out if you help us get rid of Nadia.
Anak-su ha-me: Done. But what about Namu?
Ra-ta-su-nat: That ditzy girl does not love the Pharaoh. So we won't worry about her as long as she doesn't stand in our way.
Anak-su-ha-me: I hear you are an expert in creating poison.
Ra-ta-su-nat: Oh no, you have the wrong person it is our little sister who is the expert.
Anak-su-ha-me: I'm surprised you all aren't in charge. At first I thought you were queens from a foreign land.
Hatsu-ha-met: Why thank you for your kindness. We were not queens but we were princesses. That was until my husband cheated on me and I had our little sister mix some poison up and kill him.
Anak-su-ha-me: He deserved it.
Hatsu-ha-met: Indeed he did. Well I think we can let you join in our little plan.
Anak-su-ha-me: I would be most honored to.
Hatsu-ha-met: Well sisters, what do you think?
2 sisters: Welcome to our group.
Anak-su-ha-me: Thank you.
They stayed in the courtyard chatting about their personal lives and their plot to poison Nadia and Akeyana without anyone knowing. But someone did know and it was Namu. She may have had her mind else where but she was hearing there conversation and plans to keep quiet about it and follow their every move so that she can report them to the Pharaoh.
After the feast the people then started returning to the throne room awaiting the Pharaoh to make his decision on a new queen.
Shimon: Settle down now. ( it got quiet) The Pharaoh's choice for a new queen is...........Miss Akeyana.
Akeyana was shocked and stunned. She went up to the throne and bowed to the Pharaoh. Her sisters cheered her on and Yochiko also did the same. The crowd was pleased as was the Pharaoh. Akeyana was given a gold crown.
The people clapped and cheered and began proceeding to the throne to present to the Pharaoh the gifts they are giving him.
The party was starting to end and all of the people were starting to head home. They left their gifts for the Pharaoh by the throne and proceeded out the palace door. Akeyana was happy as was Nadia. Everyone left and the servants came in to clean up the mess. Akeyana stood their talking to her sisters and Yochiko.
Teania: Congratulations Akeyana.
Nafatiri: Were very proud of you sis.
Yochiko: I am so happy for you. It is just amazing.
Akeyana: Thanks you guys.
A maiden walks up to them.
Maiden: Congratulations Akeyana. May I show you all to your rooms?
Akeyana: Yes.
Yochiko: Before we go up to our rooms. We need to pack our stuff.
Teania: Oh yeah, that's right.
Akeyana: Come on then, you guys.
Maiden 1: I'll be waiting until you get back.
At Yochiko's house...
Yochiko: I have always dreamt of living in the palace now I finally can.
Teania: I can't wait.
Nafatiri: Mean either.
Akeyana: Today has been a great day.
Teania: You said it.
They all smiled as they packed up their stuff and used the wagon to pack it in and head towards the palace. As they were walking Yochiko looked back at her house one more time, smiled and kept walking towards the palace. When they entered the palace the Maiden showed them to their rooms and they spent most of the night unpacking. After they unpacked they went to sleep.
The next day...
It was a calm and quiet morning. The Pharaoh usually spent his mornings in the garden and the afternoons on his throne. Akeyana woke up and went to the garden not expecting anyone to be there and went over to her spot beside the mystic rare white rose and sat there enjoying the view. The Pharaoh heard someone and started searching around for the source. He then found a girl sitting their and sniffing the flowers. He examined her more and saw that it was Akeyana and quietly walked over to her and sat down next to her.
Pharaoh: This garden is beautiful isn't it?
Akeyana: Yes it is. I love it here. It reminds me of the garden of Eden.
Pharaoh: Yes it seems to have that affect. doesn't it? I really enjoyed your performance yesterday. It was very good and you have good fighting skills.
Akeyana: Thank you. It has been passed down in the family for centuries. I have learned from a lot of people about the ways of the warrior.
Pharaoh: I hear you come from Atlantia. Is it a nice place?
Akeyana: Yes it is a very nice place. But not as big as this city.
Pharaoh: Do you miss living there?
Akeyana: Not really, but I wouldn't mind going back to visit. How were you able to have all these wives?
Pharaoh: I chose them.
Akeyana: Have you slept with any of them before or did you sleep with all 5 of them?
Pharaoh: No, no, I only slept with Nadia and that's all.
Akeyana: She seemed too shy to me to even think about having sex.
Pharaoh: True, but she still was willing to do it with me anyway.
Akeyana: Did you do it for love or just for your own pleasure?
Pharaoh: I loved her. She is very nice but never really talks to me. Its like she is scared of me or something I could never figure it out. Every time I walk towards her she quickly runs away and then since this palace is really big I can't ever find her. I am starting to think she doesn't love me anymore.
Akeyana: She does love you its just that she is frightened by Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, and Anak-su-na-mun because they have tried to kill her to get to you. She said she was too afraid to tell you because you might not believe her.
Pharaoh: I never knew. She knows she can tell me anything. I really care about her.
Akeyana: Well than maybe you need to talk to her instead of me. You should get rid of those 3 little sluts because all they'll do is cause trouble. She loves you but as long as they are here she won't get near you.
Pharaoh: I'm glad you told me. I will talk to her but it won't be easy to get rid of Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, and Anak-su-na-mun.
Akeyana: You are the one in charge, so if you say go then they have to go.
Pharaoh: I just don't want Nadia to feel left out as if I don't care about her.
Akeyana: You should go talk to her. I think she is up in her room.
Pharaoh: Alright, see you later Akeyana.
Akeyana: Bye.
Pharaoh: One more thing.
Akeyana: What is it?
Pharaoh: Thank you.
Akeyana: Your welcome.
The Pharaoh walks off to find Nadia and searches the palace looking for her. What he doesn't know is that she is headed toward the garden. Nadia enters the garden and sees Akeyana sitting there.
Nadia: Good morning.
Akeyana: Oh hi Nadia, the Pharaoh was just looking for you.
Nadia: Really?!
Akeyana: Yes. He really wants to talk to you.
Nadia: But, I just thought of something else I had to do.
Akeyana: Come on Nadia. Do this for me, he just wants to talk to you.
Nadia: Okay then.
Akeyana: Wait right here and I'll go find him.
Nadia: Okay.
Akeyana searches the palace and finds the Pharaoh sitting in Nadia's room on her bed. He has his hand on his forehead because he is very stressed.
Inside Nadia's room...
Akeyana: Nadia's waiting for you inside the garden.
Pharaoh: She is?
Akeyana: Yes.
Pharaoh: I owe you Akeyana.
Akeyana: Its okay just go to her.
The Pharaoh quickly hurries to the garden and finds Nadia sitting their. Her thick black hair is blowing in the breeze while the sun makes her face seem to glitter. He just stares at her and sighs. He slowly walks up to her hoping she won't run away. He sits down next to her and holds her hand.
Pharaoh: Nadia, Akeyana told me what's been going on. If I would have known I would have gotten rid of them for doing this to you. I just don't want you to feel like I don't care when I really do.
Nadia: Okay, I understand. But still, f they continue to stay here than I can't see you anymore.
Pharaoh: I'll take care of this don't worry.
Nadia: Thank you.
The Pharaoh reaches over and gives Nadia a kiss.
