Chapter 2: The new servant
Let's skip to the future; Yami was now 19 yrs old and had finally ascended to the throne as the Pharaoh, he was doing his job very well and indeed he was well respected and the same time feared (Oh... hell yeah on with the story...)
Pharaoh Yami stretched up on his bed as the rays of the sun warm his face muttering "What the hell its morning already", then a knock came at the door "My lord your breakfast is ready", said one of his servants; he really wants to get back to sleep but decided not to, so he sat up on his bed and snarled "bring my breakfast in" in a sleepy but commanding tone. Then one by one servants came in carrying his breakfast , another two servants came in carrying towels, warm water for his bath and his clothes after he ate his breakfast he dressed up and get down to his usual business.
He was in the middle of the meeting as he was started to get bored, one of his councilors grab his attention.
"Pharaoh Yami?"
"H-huh"
"Are you feeling alright your highness?"
"Y-yes... yes I'm fine, but I think we have to continue this some other time you're dismissed".
So the councilors bowed and left as the Pharaoh decided to spend his time in the garden, suddenly the peacefulness was spoiled by the noise coming from nowhere. "Hey! Yami wat cha' doin' here man I thought your in the meeting", annoyed as he turn around and found out that the noise only came from a blonde and browed haired man the same age as he is, Jou and Honda his best friends since childhood.
"We thought you're in the meeting" Honda stated while giving Yami a pat in the back
"Yep, you seemed like bummed" Jou said noticing his best friend's previous state.
"Oh hey Jou, Honda! I dismissed them already I'm getting bored; you know how I hate meetings...every time I was in the meeting it always sucks...! By just listening to their voices and staring into their ugly faces".
His best friends only gave him a smirk upon hearing his best friend's complain.
On the other hand Anzu was running away from the guards chasing after her "Heh... heh you'll never gonna catch me freaks!" as the chase continues, she bump to some vendors that resulted some fruits flying around and hit the guards she couldn't stop to look at them to throw another insult, so she used that opportunity by running faster so that the guards don't beat the crap out of her, but as she turn in some alleys "Damn it... of all the luck its dead end!!!" cursed Anzu, as she turned around she raised her two hands that indicates that she surrenders. So the guards chained her and led her to the palace to face the Pharaoh.
Throne room
Pharaoh Yami was sitting in the throne room when two of the palace guards entered they stop and bow before one of them speak
"Pharaoh... we have caught a thief in the market, she tried to escape but we have cornered her in some alleys".
"A thief... bring her in!"
As they bring her in front of the Pharaoh she tries to struggle with all the strength she could muster "Get your bloody hands off me...!" Anzu cursed but she stop at the sight of the palace she had never been inside the palace grounds before she only saw it from the distance, suddenly her attention was destructed by a man not younger than 19 (19 to be exact!) sitting on the throne.
"The Pharaoh" she thought to herself.
"So... this is the thief"
"Yes Pharaoh" answered the guards
"What is your name?" asked the Pharaoh as he walk towards the girl
"Anzu" she whispered
Suddenly she was knocked on the ground by one of the guards that caught her "Louder your voice when you're speaking to the Pharaoh!", Yami shot him a cold look that make him shudder with fear and dare not to interrupt anymore.
"Do you know what the punishment for stealing is?" the Pharaoh begin
She opened her mouth to speak but no voice came out. Instead of answering his question she just said.
"I have done nothing wrong Pharaoh" hissed Anzu
The Pharaoh was taken aback by her answer as he stared into her peculiarly but an idea formed in his mind for her punishment, as he begun to encircle the girl, to be a personal slave to the Pharaoh it should be only the best quality and Anzu is perfectly fit for that with beautiful brown hair that fell a few inches beyond her shoulders and her eyes were of the brightest aqua he had ever witnessed, fairly tanned skin and of course perfect body.
"You have the courage answer me like that; you're the first one who has done such a thing! As a smirk became visible, therefore as your punishment you will be my personal servant, you will obey no one only me, is that quite understood?" but before she could answer the Pharaoh clapped his hands twice and a woman came running and bow in the presence of the Pharaoh.
"Dress and clean her and take her to the chamber beside my room and I will meet her there!"
"Yes My lord Pharaoh..." She bowed and drag Anzu by her arm.
As she was taking a bath not just a bath but a scented bath, she sigh and felt lighter of thought that she did not get sentenced to death, "but what will happen to me now? I did not get sentenced to death but instead I'd become the Pharaoh's slave what the hell is he thinking!" she thought to herself.
Flashback
Anzu was in the garden she got tired of doing nothing so she decided to walk back inside, just as she was passing by her parents bedroom with the door creak open a little she heard their voices but curiosity got the better of her and she eavesdropped to their conversation
"She's already at the age to marry, why not tell her about the betrothal we've arranged" Anksena said
"B-but... Alright I'll talk to her about that" he agreed
Anzu was shocked and run to her bedroom after she had learned that she was already betrothed to someone she didn't even know, so she cry and buried herself in the pillow.
"How could they do this to me...?" she said when suddenly an idea came to her she was determined to not get married to someone she did not know
"If they insists on the plan then I would run away" and with that she packed the things she needed for traveling some food and water and off she went but before she go Anzu writes a letter for her brothers Malik and Bakura.
She was walking down the market when she bump into a royal guard, landing on her butt "Ow..." she looked up meeting the guard's angry face when suddenly the guard grasp her arms roughly
"Why... you little wench" yelled the guard obviously aggravated, Anzu was furious and pulled out from the guard's strong grip
"Hey... get your hands off me you jerk!!" them she kicked the guard on the shin (good thing she knows how to defend herself, she's thankful that her father forced her to attend her fighting class) and run away.
End Flashback
As all the dust, dirt has been washed from her body reveling a soft fair tanned skin, shinny brown locks the other servant gasped of the sight that she look stunningly beautiful and could be mistaken as a long-lost princess (well she is a princess) captured and put in labor (that...is really the case) . The woman gave her towel and dress her up in a simple cream coloured sleeve less dress that perfectly fits her body showing her voluptuous curves.
While she awaits in her designated chamber she can't help but to explore her room (out of curiosity and boredom) surely she can't believe her self that as the Pharaoh's personal servant she will be sleeping in a room of her own beside the Pharaoh's chamber, while she was admiring the sight, the door opened from the left side of the bed, as a strike of panic raised through her as the image of the Pharaoh stepped in, she stand up and bowed still trembling of what might the Pharaoh do to her she thought "would he punish me personally with all the hard work and if I dare disobey him for not giving into his whims and desires he would beat or skin me alive"
Still panicking as she stand up straight and look at the Pharaoh's eyes, she felt as if she want stare at his eyes forever as she begun to blush.
The Pharaoh was taken aback by Anzu's beauty and not realizing that he was doing the same thing, staring at her, and felt a blush creeping on his face so he broke the eye contact and started giving Anzu directions.
"So as my personal servant you will obey no one but me, is that quite understood? He said.
"Yes M'lord" answered Anzu.
"And this will be your room, and that door on the left side is my room so it will be easy for you to get to me when I summon you" (these are some of the directions, hey! I'm not going to enumerate them all... heller! )
Anzu slightly nod, still trembling, she kept her eyes on the floor. As she saw the Pharaoh leaving the room, shocked that she didn't get any beating from him.
While in his balcony Yami kept asking himself "what the hell is happening to me?" he couldn't believe himself, if ever a thief had presented to him he will just ordered to punish the criminal without any second thought, but now he was feeling awkward of his actions.
the next day
Anzu woke up early in the morning to prepare the Pharaoh's breakfast (good thing she liked to watch their cook back home) after that he dress him up and comb his hair and escort him (Oh! and she's blushing BTW she can't help it you know) down the great hall.
While the Pharaoh is sitting in his throne deal with the usual problems set before him she can't help but notice that he was quite handsome and she realized that she was blushing madly she shook the thought away and stop looking at the Pharaoh "WTF am I doing?" she thought, after a while it's the Pharaoh's turn to blush as he glance sideways to his left as he spotted Anzu standing with her chin held up high looking at the people inside the throne room as if she belongs with the nobles, the simple dress that she wore made her look more radiant but then again realizing he was blushing he buried the thought away so he decided to leave the room earning a confused reaction from everyone.
Later that night Anzu was thankful that her whole days of work is done, so she decided to go in the gardens, once she was there she felt like she's close to nature again with different kind of luscious plants and flowers, and situated herself in the peacefulness of the night with the moon shining brightly in the sky
"Malik... Bakura I missed you both" she whispered as tears came running down her cheeks
