Author's note: sorry guys bout updating so late, now that I got a few days to type a new chapter in University before school starts. If I am able to finish typing other stories I got on standby then I'll try my best to update as soon as possible!

Please review on them as you finish reading one chapter!

LAST CHAPTER:

Anzu bowed and she walked towards the center stage.

"My pharaoh, if you go disappearing on me again, I'll personally skin you alive." The pharaoh whispered to the person beside him who was smirking.

"My, my pharaoh, I'll just use Shadi next time instead of you my dear cousin." The person replied also in whispered.

"Where were you this time?"

"Sparring with Jou."

"That mutt, I'm going to…"

"Seth, the show is starting, pay attention."

"Atemu, I mean it, you almost gave everyone heart attack here. Besides, these so call entertainments are irritating me."

"Now, do you know how I feel?" Atemu giggled lowly.

"I do, I've felt it long ago, but you are the pharaoh, it's your responsibility. You just got your throne this morning and now you are…" Seth growled then sighed.

"Ah, silence…this is the last one Seth, just one more, hang in there, I'm here you know." Atemu's eyes turned to the maiden at the center stage.

"Yes, my lord."

All eyes are on Anzu.

THIS CHAPTER:

Sang, sang, sang, tat, tat, dum, sang, dum…

People surrounding the dancing girl in the center gave all their attention to her.

"Isn't that dance of hers special?" Atem whispered to Seth.

"My Lord, Honda is ruining my image as a priest. Did you heard the way he read that scroll of names? Did you see the way how he looked at the female species you chose to perform with drools in his mouth? Did you…?"

"Would you shut up and let me watch the dance?" Atem interrupted.

(I don't think I should type the sound of Seth is making… )

With that spin of Anzu's already made males including females in the court widen their eyes.

It looked like fire in certain people's eyes; it looked like mist in others. The strength was strong at a moment then soft and floating the next.

No one can see her face properly when she was dancing, her movements covered it all but yet, and the viewers were able to determine her emotions. It was sad and heartbreaking one minute and energetic the next.

The audiences grew excited themselves as they watched this dance.

Awed by the rhythm of both the dancer and the music was able to parallel to each other, brought out the mood they want the spectators to feel.

With a final flap of her long cloth that was wrapped around her hair and waist during her entrance, she ended the dance with a small rhythm of ringing from her small bells at her ankles and wrist.

Silence filled the room.

Then it was roared with cheering of wine, shouts, yells, clapping and so on.

"I see now why you want to see the dance of that tribe so much. It was intriguing my Lord but I assured you next time I wont be so easy on you for commanding me to this 'participation'." Seth spoke through his teeth.

"I believe the word you are looking for is 'I tricked you into agreeing into this involvement of faking being a pharaoh', no?" Atem smiled back.

With a forced smile towards the audience and nodded to Anzu for his approval of her performance, no one noticed about the gripping hands on the throne. Atem smiled at this. "Seth, be careful of breaking the 'royal throne'."

"Yes, my Lord, I'll be careful with my strength but I don't really think you care much about this 'royal throne' which I believe you always call it…'rubbish stone' that is put in this room as a decoration."

"Thank you for remembering such detailed description that I said……five years ago about the throne."

"You are very much welcome."

Isis, one of the priests who served the pharaoh, giggled slightly at the two cousin's 'conversation'.

On the other hand, Miho tended to Anzu after her performance. "Anzu-sama, now that you've got everyone's attention, do your best for the next programs they've got for you all. And please be careful when you are making you decision."

"Hai, I will so don't worry, his life belongs to me. A father's debt must be paid by their son."

"… …Anzu-sama…I want to…" Miho frowned.

"What is it?"

"It's……nothing Anzu-sama, please do your best."

"Thank you." Anzu smiled slightly.

'My dearest master, my best friend, please forgive me for not giving you the answer you are looking for but your father warned me.'

Miho gripped her dress tightly. 'I am not able to tell you the truth until…I shouldn't have found out the truth. I don't want to put your dearest brother who you loved the most in danger.'

'Please my lady Anzu, please find out the truth as fast as you could while I will prevent you from falling in love with the pharaoh if you do that somehow in the future.' Miho forced a smile while she folded back the cloth and put the instruments back in a stack.

BACK IN ANZU'S HOME LAND

An old voice rang in soft echoes in a dim room, from the shadow, you can make out a hand held a scroll.

"My love, you are the only who makes my heart ache with love and hate at the same time. Your son is destiny to be pharaoh while my daughter is destiny to kill him."

He coughed a little.

"I love you but I hate that son of yours because his father took you away from me and now the new pharaoh is going to my dearest daughter away from me. Is this all planned by you, Fate?"

He folded the scroll back and hid it somewhere in the darkness.

"I believe your son's death will end our hate and fighting once and for all."

Author's note: hope you all like this short update. Going to make more next time but University is getting on my nerve so…heheh.
