"Rena…. What wrong??" asked Atem, "Why are you crying?"
"Mother… Miu…" said Rena, "They're all gone…"
Rena began to cry. With her confession done through, she still remembered that her mother and her aunt have both died. Atem kept his arms wrapped around her, and brought her inside. He escorted her to the bed, and comforted her. Rena finally remembered that she was all alone, everyone in her family was now gone. She remembered that she was all alone.
"What are you talking about?" asked Atem, "Miss Yukina and Miss Miu… they're not…dead?? Are they??"
Rena nodded and sobbed. She felt that she wanted to tell Atem everything, but if she told Atem that it was a priest who killed her family, she would endanger Atem. She continued to sob in Atemu's arms. She didn't want anyone else to die because of a man who lusts for power, a power that she now controlled.
"Atem… they're gone… just like that… everyone in my family is gone!!!" cried Rena, "I'm all alone…. I'm all alone!!"
Atem snuggled her a little, and comforted her. He kissed her forehead, and said, "Don't worry… I'll look after you…I'll take care of you…" said Atem, "Rena… who did this?"
"I cant tell you…" said Rena, "If I told you…he would probably kill you too…"
"Rena, please tell me who killed them." Said Atem, "If you told me, I would ask my father, and trust me he will find and deal with the man who killed Yukina and Miu."
"I can't… I just can't…"
Atem, continued to hold her close to his body. He wanted to help Rena, but he thought if he helped her, it would make Rena worry even more. So he decided that if Rena didn't want to tell him, he might as well not know about it. He also knew that Rena would have a hard time living on her own in the Servant's Sanctuary, so he wanted to help her.
"Rena… can you stay with me for the night?" asked Atem, "You are still a little tired, aren't you?"
"Are you sure its ok?" asked Rena, "I have to report back or else everyone will think I am dead…"
"My father knows you're alive." Said Atem, "So if he knows if you're alive, that's enough proof."
Rena bowed her head in thanks. Atemu smiled in return. They both remained quiet for the rest of the night. That night, Atem made a promise to Rena. He promised to protect Rena from anyone that dared to do her harm. He also promised to take her hand in marriage when he was made pharaoh. It would be a few more years before Atem could become pharaoh, but he thought it was worth the wait. For the night, he let Rena sleep on his bed, he slept on the bedside. It was very ironic for a servant and a prince.
[Bedtime!!! Time for Sleepy children!!!!]
In the morning, Rena woke up finding Atemu's hands touching her breasts. [ I wonder what our young prince did in the night….] She smiled and blushed slightly. She understood how much Atem loved her. She also felt the same for him. She thought that if Atem didn't save her the other day, she would still feel weak and miserable. Rena also recovered very quickly during the night. Her wounds healed rather fast. She looked at the prince, who was still sleeping at the bedside. She stroked her hand through his angular hair. The prince stirred a little, and slowly opened his eyes. He had awakened to find Rena's hands stroking through his hair. He smiled, and stroked his hands through her rugged brown hair.
"So… sleep well?" asked the prince.
"Yes…" replied Rena.
"Ready for breakfast?" asked Atem.
Rena nodded and got out of bed. She made the bed with the help of the prince. Then after they were all cleaned up, they went to the royal dining hall, where all the meals were held. It was an enormous room. The floors were made of marble, and the pillars were made of alabaster. Rena stared in awe at the magnificent room. Atem gracefully escorted Rena to a seat. Rena also spotted Akunumkanon who greeted her as if she were his own daughter.
"Ah!! Rena!!" greeted Akunumkanon, "Its so nice of Atemu to bring you here!!"
Rena bowed her head in thanks. "Thank you, my pharaoh…"
Akunumkanon nodded and sat down. Also at the table were the pharaoh's priests. One of which was Akunadin, who glared at her. Atem sat right next to her, for she was now a guest at the table. Akunumkanon noticed that Rena was wearing the Pharaoh's Pendant and smiled. He winked at his son knowing that he confessed his love to the girl he cared for most.
Akunumkanon stood up to lead the morning blessing to the gods. He turned to his son and said, "Now my son has an announcement about his young guest." He then sat down to let his son talk.
Atem got up slowly and looked at Rena. He was not yet skilled at talking to a group of people. It was something he had to work on before he becomes pharaoh.
"Everyone," said Atem, "This young woman who is now a guest of mine, is Rena, my servant, and the person who I love."
Most of the priests replied with "awwwww". Except for Akunadin who continuously glared at Rena. Atem gave a small pause and continued on, "Last night, I confessed my love to Rena, and now I will ask her for her hand."
He looked to Rena and motioned her to stand up, he held her hand. He paused once more, took a deep breath, turned to Rena and asked, "Rena, will you be my queen? Will you take my hand and help me follow my father's rule?"
Rena was amazed that he asked for her hand. She thought that this was all a dream come true. She was fulfilling her mother's wish: to become something that you never imagined. She was the future queen of Egypt. Rena replied with a small nod, and bowed to her prince. Then, Atem put his arms around her and kissed her. Like the kiss from the other night, it was wet. Everyone in the room applauded to the romantic event. The servants in the room watched, and whispered amongst themselves how Rena was so lucky to become the next queen. Akunumkanon's eyes began to tear to show how proud he was of his son. After it was all over, Akunumkanon, stood up once more for another announcement.
"Ahem, I have a grave announcement to make…" said the pharaoh with a grave look on his face, "This morning, a group of my soldiers found Yukina head servant, and Miu dead in a cave outside the city. I asked if anyone would be willingly take Yukina's place to run the servant's sanctuary, but no servant answered. So now I ask my fellow priests, who here shall run the servants?"
Akunadin smirked and quickly stood up before anyone else could, "I will, my pharaoh… I have always wanted the duty of running the servants in this palace… I shall gladly… accept this duty…"
"Very well," said Akunumkanon, "You shall start tomorrow…"
Rena was shocked to hear Akunadin as the new head of the servants. She had this feeling that he would try to kill her by making her work to death. However, since she was given the job of serving the prince years ago, Atem would protect her. One of the most important laws of the servant's was if a person has done a duty successfully for more than five years, they remain with that duty for the rest of their life. She has served Prince Atem for six, which meant that she was safe. However she had a bad feeling that something was going to happen to her even if she remains in the service of the prince.
