Atem rode as fast as he could to the palace. Rena was half-awake and half-alive because of wandering for days. She felt strong manly arms wrapped around her. They were strong, but yet they were warm in a way. She never expected the prince to be this bold.
"Make way, make way!!" commanded Atem.
The people made way for their prince. Atem continued to rush towards the palace. Upon his arrival, he quickly dismounted the horse, and carried Rena inside. Unbeknownst to him, he was being watched by Akunadin, the man that wanted Rena dead. He glared at the prince, and spat on the ground. He never forgot about his defeat in the cave.
"Rena's Ka will be mine!! A pathetic servant like her is not even worthy to summon ka." Said Akunadin, "And one day, I will rid the prince and my own son will become pharaoh!! My son, the apprentice priest, Seto…"
Atem brought Rena to his chamber. He laid her on his own bed, and tended to her wounds. He ran his hands down her face and sighed.
"Rena…who done this to you??" asked Atem. He asked again, "Who done this to you?"
He laid his head on top of her chest and rested. Carrying her from the city to his chamber tired him out. Atem could hear the beat of Rena's heart. This was the first time he could touch a girl. Atem never knew that it felt so warm. He continued to rest on Rena's heart, and wondered what could have happened to her. The only way he could find out was for him to talk to Rena. He also wanted to confess his love to her, but he wasn't sure if Rena was able to hear him say it.
As the young Atemu's mind wandered off, there was a knock on the door. Atem slowly sat up, and walked towards the door. When he opened it, he found his father standing in the doorway. His father had a look of concern on his face.
"Father what is it?" asked Atem.
"Is she all right?" asked Akunumkanon. He looked over to Rena.
"Yes, she's fine now." Replied Atem, "But now I worry about the person who did this to her."
"Why is that?"
"She was beaten real badly…" said Atem, "She was crying when I found her…"
"Atem, come outside. I want to talk to you about something." Said Akunumkanon. He noticed that his son looked back at Rena, "Don't worry… Rena is safe now… thanks to you…"
Atem stepped outside of the room with his father to discuss something that seemed to be important. Atem seemed eager to learn what his father wanted to tell him.
"Atem, do you love Rena?" asked Akunumkanon.
Atem looked away and sighed, "Well we've been friends for a long time…"
Akunumkanon laughed, "Don't make any excuses… I've seen how you look at her… you love her don't you?"
"Well, yeah…I can admit that I love her…" said Atem hesitantly, "But she's a servant and I'm a prince…if anyone found out…"
"You remind me of myself… and how I first met your mother…" said Akunumkanon, "She was my servant long ago when I was your age… I confessed my feelings, and she became something that she never imagined… She became queen. Come here, I have something to give you… in a few years, you will take my place, you need to choose someone to support you in your rule…"
Atem walked slowly towards his father. Akunumkanon pulled out what seemed to be a necklace with a pendant of crystal. The pendant had three small spheres forming a triangle shape. It was on a beautiful golden chain. In the center of the pendant was a small emblem bearing the millennium symbol.
"This is the pharaoh's pendant…I gave this jewel to your mother years ago when I confessed my love for her, but before she died she wanted to give it to you, so that you may one day give it to the person you care for most. The person who bears the pendant becomes the next queen of the kingdom." Said Akunumkanon, "Choose the person wisely, but at the look of things… you have already found that person…."
"Rena…"
"That's right… go on and give it to your girl…"
Atem took the Pharaoh's Pendant willingly. Akunumkanon smiled and left his son to be on his way. As he walked away, Atem thought about how his father fell in love with his servant, it was such an ironic twist. It was the same ironic thing that made Atem inherited from his father. He laughed for one moment, and went back inside his chamber to check on Rena.
Rena was finally awake. When Atem entered the room, she smiled and blushed. He walked over to her side and smiled. He couldn't believe how happy he was just seeing Rena awake.
"Rena… you're ok!!"
"Prince Atem… thank you…" said Rena. She bowed her head to show her appreciation.
"Rena there's no need for formalities." Said Atem. He sat next to her in the bed.
"Prince… I don't know how to say this but…" said Rena. She still couldn't get the words out of her mouth.
"Rena… before you say anything…" said Atem, "Let me give you something…"
Atem pulled out the Pharaoh's Pendant, and placed it around Rena's neck. Rena looked down at the jewel that the prince just gave her. She was confused for a moment, but when she saw the sincere look on the prince's eyes, she understood. Then, she remembered what happened when Prince Atem carried her on the horse. She remembered him saying the words: I love you.
"Rena…I love you…" said Atem once more. He held onto Rena's hand and stroked it. Then, he held Rena close to his body. He could feel the beating of her heart, and the warmth of her body. Rena felt no different. She felt the warmth of his body, the beat of his heart, and not to mention his bold, strong arms. She rested her head on his body. Rena could smell a strange scent coming from him, it was a musky sort of scent, but it was beautiful.
"Atemu… I love you…" said Rena, "Thank you so much…"
Atem helped Rena stand on her feet. He escorted her towards the balcony, where the same sunset was taking place. He held onto her hands once more and smiled at Rena. Rena smiled back at him. They placed their arms around each other, and held each other close once again. Slowly, but gradually, they kissed each other. Rena felt wonderful. She felt the inside of Atemu's mouth. Every bit of it was wet. So there they were, prince and servant, kissing on the balcony, over the blazing sun set. After what seemed to be a lifetime, they continued to hold each other, keep each other close. Rena rubbed her head against his bold chest, and Atem held her head close to her his heart. Rena felt a strange sensation going up her spine; she could also feel his warm breath.
"Rena… when I become pharaoh…will you become my queen? We'll rule the kingdom together…" said Atem.
Rena was silent. She remembered what her mother said before she died. Confess your feelings and become something that you never imagine. When she remembered this, she began to tear a little. That was when she remembered everyone that remained in her family died. She cried on Atemu's chest.
"Rena, what's wrong?" asked Atem.
