Chapter 7: A Look Into the Past

"Hello, Pharaoh Yami," the Princess said in a soft voice.

"Pleased to meet you, Princess Anzu," the Pharaoh replied with an emotionless face. He turned away from the brunette. "This will be your personal maid," he said, gesturing at Lelani.

"That won't be needed. I have my own," Anzu said, pointing at the blond. Yugi noticed that the blond's hands were shackled in delicate chains and that her eyes were devoid of all emotion.

" Take her to her chambers, slave," The Pharaoh said to Yugi.

Yugi nodded slightly. "Please follow me, Princess," he said.

Anzu turned her head. "Please come with me, Mai" she ordered.

The blond nodded and walked behind Yugi and Anzu. Yugi led them a spendid room with a large bed, exquisite oak furniture and rugs and pale blue cutains that blew softly in the wind. Anzu's brow furrowed.

"I need a cot. My maid will be sleeping there," she said offhandedly.

"I will get one for you," Yugi said politely and walked off without a single word. He could feel somebody's eyes on him, but chose to ignore it.

*The Princess is lovely.....she is to marry the Pharaoh, eh?* Yugi thought and stopped when he felt his heart tightening as if in sorrow. He shook his head in amusement as it faded.

*That maid, Mai. Her eyes were so sad and distant. She doesn't seem a sad person, rather like a happy bubbly person...*Yugi thought sadly. "She is in a situation like my own....."

**********

Anzu was bubbling with excitment as she explored her room. A big smile was spread across her features.

"Did you see the Pharaoh?" she asked.

Mai nodded as she watched her Princess prance around the room with a happy expression. Anzu was never lovely before this. She was always sullen and glaring at people.

"He was so handsome! Those crimson eyes!" she exclaimed. Then her eyes narrowed and lost their sparkle.

"I'm glad at what I had to do," she muttered.

Mai's head swiftly turned to look at Anzu. "What?"

Anzu glanced at her maid. "I killed my younger sister."

Violet eyes widened. *She killed her sister?* Mai thought.

"She was annoying. She was always Father's favorite...."

Mai smiled. Of course, her King always favored the young Princess Sakura. Who wouldn't? Sakura had wonderful elbony locks that framed her round face, big blue eyes that rivaled Anzu's in brightness, and a shapely figure that surpassed Anzu's. She was kind as she was beautiful. Such a sweet child. Mai was her maid before she became Anzu's and adored Sakura.

Anzu's eyes blazed in fury as the memory of her sister came up. The King had married Anzu's mother first, but she was accused of betraying the King. It turned out that Anzu was not of the King's blood and for that her mother was put to death. The brown haired Princess remembered that so well...

*Flashback*

"Mama! Whats happening?" a brown haired child of six cried.

"I don't know....hush" a pretty brown haired woman in an elegant gown the color of dandillions whispered as guards destroyed the room. The child started to cry which gave them away.

" We have come on behalf of King Damion. You have been accused of betraying the King and is to be brought to prison," a burly guard barked.

The woman's face paled. " You can't!" she grasped her daughter. "Think about the child! The King's only child!"

The woman brought her face closer to the girl's "Take the throne. Destroy your father, any woman and child that become his new family. Take revenge for me!" she hissed.

"MAMA!" the child cried as her mother was taken from her grasp harshly.

*End Flashback*

Six year old Anzu was ignored because she resembled her mother and also because she didn't have royal blood. Her father spared her life though. Then the King took a second wife who was pretty and delicate The new Queen had bore a newborn child. That was the start of Anzu' troubles. The Queen died after taking ill because of the childbirth. Sakura became the sunshine in her father's life and continued to ignore his first daughter. The Princess never forgot her mother's words. Anzu swore revenge on her younger sister and father.....

"She was always in the way. Sakura was the one that was supossed to come to Egypt, not me. That was Father's plan. She was going to be Queen, not me," She smiled. " Well no longer,"

Mai stared at her in shock. Unable to speak. Blue eyes shifted to the blond.

"Tell anyone about this and you die," Anzu threatened. "I like you. You're a good friend, but if you become a threat to my marrying to the Pharaoh and I will kill you."

"Yes, Princess Anzu," Mai said.

"Good. I'm glad you see it my way. When I possess the Pharaoh's power, I will destroy my father," she seethed.

"But, Princess that is sin," Mai protested.

"Hmph. It was a sin to send my mother to her death," Anzu hissed. "Now shut up."

"Yes, Princess Anzu," Mai said.

"Now to put my plan into action. Nothing will get in my way," Anzu said with a dark smile.
