"Atem…. Are you sure this will work?"
"Trust me… it'll work, I know it will."
Atem brought Rena to the surface, and away from the accursed dungeons. Along the way Rena told Atem about what happened that day, her new jobs, the new penalties, and how she fought back against him twice. She told him how Yukina and Miu died, and about how she got the Black Luster Soldier. Atem was amazed at how Rena went through all that.
"Rena, you can summon Ka?" asked Atem.
"Yes….if that's what you mean…." Replied Rena, "But the Black Luster Soldier is really the spirit of my father…. He attacked Akunadin only to protect me."
"Rena, summoning Ka takes a lot of work," said Atem, "The only people that are strong enough to summon let alone control Ka are my father, and the priests. The art of summoning is the highest level of magic there is. Mahado is just learning, Mana still needs to learn the basics of magic, and I can only learn it from my father."
"I see…."
Atem made a turn in one of the large corridors. The whole hall in that area was made of gold. Rena has never been to this part of the palace. No servant was allowed here. The only servant that was allowed to enter this sacred space were those who were known Sacred Servants. These servants were greatly respected by the pharaoh and the subjects of the palace. Rena remembered her mother mentioning something about the sacred servants years ago. It was when Rena first saw Akunadin, she remembered her mother calling herself a Sacred Servant to the pharaoh.
"Rena whats wrong?" asked Atem.
"I've never been to this part of the palace before." Said Rena.
"Oh this whole corridor is called the Pharaoh's Sanctuary." Said Atem, "You can tell because of the gold that shines everywhere. This place is forbidden to many people… the only people who can enter here are the Sacred Servants, very few of the priests, and myself. This is sacred space, so you better be careful whenever you come here, but this time I'm here to protect you."
"Thank you…" said Rena.
Atem kept on running until he reached the end of the hall. At the end of the vast hallway, there was a large door made of gold. Atem stood up straight, and knocked on the door. There was a loud voice that called out, "Come in."
Atem pushed the door with his back so that it may open. Anyway, his hands were full from carrying Rena; she was to weak to walk this far on her own. Atem went inside the room. As for the room itself, the pharaoh's chamber, it was enormous. The floors and walls were all made of gold. As for the size, it was about the size of the Servant's Sanctuary.
Pharaoh Akunumkanon was outside on his personal balcony staring out into the Nile. He turned around and saw his son, along with a weak and tired Rena. Rena was half asleep and half awake at the time.
"Atemu, what has happened?" asked Akunumkanon, "Why is Rena in such a poor condition?"
"Father," said Atem, "Rena has been hurt all throughout today because of her new jobs, and the new penalties for the servants. Out of all the servants beaten out today, Rena has been beaten the most."
"Who gave Rena the new jobs?" asked Akunumkanon, "She served you for about four years, am I not correct?"
Atem nodded and said, "Father, Akunadin was the one who changed Rena's duty, Akunadin was the one who did this to her… and it was Akunadin who… who…"
"That's enough Atem." Said Akunumkanon, "I shall have one of the other priests to take control of the servants…Akunadin will be removed from his control, but I cannot remove him from the palace."
"Father… I was thinking…" said Atem, "Now that Rena and I are engaged… I was wondering if you could make her into a royal princess."
"Why should I make Rena a princess?" asked Akunumkanon, "Why should I do that when she is to become the next queen?"
"Father…I don't want to see Rena get hurt again…" said Atem, "She's been through enough…" he was beginning to cry, "I don't want to see Rena hurt again….."
Akunumkanon walk over to his son and hugged him. He comforted his son and said, "Its all right my son…I shall think about this idea of yours… Rena shall return to her original job for now, until I make the decision of turning her into a member of the Royal Family."
"Thank you father…" said Atem quietly.
"Take Rena to the baths to clean her up…I will send out one of the Sacred Servants to…"
"No father…" said Atem, "I'll do it myself…"
"Very well." Said Akunumkanon, "She may return to work anytime she is ready."
Atem bowed to his father to show his thanks. He exited the Pharaoh's Chamber to take Rena down to the baths. He made a strange decision to give Rena the bath, but he did it because of how concerned he was for her. He walked down the Pharaoh's Sanctuary hoping that his father would make the right decision to make Rena a princess. He exited the sanctuary, and noticed that Rena woke up. She took her hand and wiped the tears off of the prince's face. Atem looked down at her and smiled. He was glad that Rena was ok.
Just then, Atem heard footsteps coming towards him. He looked around to see who it was. Rena also heard the footsteps, right from the start, she knew who it was. She held onto Atemu and hoped that nothing bad would happen. Then, Akunadin entered the hallway, and as he walked past Atem and Rena, he looked down at Rena and glared at her. Akunadin then made his way to the pharaoh's chamber to speak with the pharaoh.
"Lets hope my father makes the right decision…" said Atem.
Atem brought Rena to the baths. He let Rena sit down on the marble steps, then he took white cloth and soaked it in water.
"Rena… I uhh…" said Atem bashfully, he was blushing madly, "I need you to take off….your… umm… your …..dress….. eh heh…."
Rena blushed and willingly agreed to do as Atem told her. She stood up slowly, and slowly took off her clothing. Atemu's body felt really funny as Rena undressed in front of him. He walked slowly towards Rena, he realized that Rena was a little uncomfortable, but it was natural thing. He took the wet cloth and wiped Rena's face, he then wiped the blood off of Rena's back, which revealed scars that will never go away. Rena looked at the prince as he washed her body. She kissed him on the forehead and hugged him. Atem smiled and kissed her on the cheek, and then continued to clean the bloody wounds on her body.
"Atem… thank you…" said Rena.
