Atem was looking the view from his balcony, he could sense the darkness lurking…threatening his people. It was now his duty to protect them. He was so immerse in his thoughts that a gently touch on his shoulder startled him, making him turn to the responsible.
"I am deeply sorry for what happened, my prince. I know it won't matter, but… I would like to thank you for saving me and please, allow me to ask for forgiveness. That wicked man forced me to dance by taking my friend hostage. I had no idea what he was planning…" he saw the girl trembling, trying to be strong. "Please, let me return to my village, I need to help my friends"
A knock on the door interrupt their conversation. "My Prince, please allow me to enter and give you my report" It was his loyal guardian, responsible for the palace secutiry.
"You may enter Mahad." And so he did, accompanied by that gentle old man.
"My prince, we secured the people and sent our fastest horses after that assassin, I may personally take responsibility at the tragic event"
"There's no need Mahad, what matters now is catching that man. I must also take my leave from the palace. I will take this girl back to her village myself". Said Atem while giving an encouraging smirk to the chocked girl.
"I must advise my prince to not go. Doing such thing involves great danger and as soon as we provide the proper departure for our previous king, you shall become our new Pharaoh." Said the wise elder.
"I appreciate your concern Shimon, but this is something I must do. Now, prepare my DiaDhank, my horse and- can you ride?" Teana was surprised to suddenly have the attention
"Uh- Y-Yes, my prince" And bowed after the looks she was receiveing. She had to show respect, he was the prince after all.
"You can call me Atem"
She couldn't help but blush and nod to him
"Very well, get one of the fastest horses for the lady we are going by the morning" both man were about to protest the decision "And that's my decision!"
"As you wish, my prince" said both of them leaving.
Atem left out a deep sigh as he sat in one of his benches.
"My prin- Atem… Thank you for all of this. Thou I must insist that you don't come with me. Its far too dangerous and I don't deserve your kindness after what happened" said the woman sitting across the room, but in front of him"
"Lady…" She interrupted him "Please, call me Tea"
"Tea…" he stopped for a second. It's been a long while since he talked to someone in a less formal way "This is something I must do. I need to prove myself and do not let that man win…In my father's name."
"I understand" She respond moving close and sitting next to him "If you ever need a friend, you can count on me!" she smiled touching his hand. The gesture made him look at their hands, no one ever dared to touch him so gently and without asking for permission "Oh, I'm sorry! I don't mean to disrespect!" said quickly moving away.
"Uh…Don't worry. I know you mean no harm. It's just something I am not used to. I hope I haven't scared you." The sad smile broke her heart. This young man doesn't even have friends to support him at his time of need. But now she had her and she never left her friends suffering.
"Its okay, really! Uh…." She had to change the conversation topic "Your town is gorgeous, nothing compared to my village in the middle of the desert" He noticed what she was doing and appreciated it.
"Thank you, But I shall judge that when we reach your village. Speaking of it, do you know your way? That will surely make our journey easier".
She smiled with confidence "Of course! I know my way to the desert better than anyone in your palace, I assure you!" he then smirked, what an intriguing woman. Nothing like the ones he was surrounded with. Those would do anything to keep their appearances and perfect education while with him. Clearly it was an attempt to seduce him… "Uh….Atem? You okay? Maybe we should rest. We can talk more tomorrow."
"I'm fine, you can stay in my bed. I shall rest here" said elegantly crossing his arms and legs while closing his eyes"
"That's not fair! This is your chambers and I am an uninvited guest!" he simple pointed to his bed again, not even opening his eyes"
"I am already sleeping. This is not open to debate, just go" She pounts looking at him. Wow…Clearly a prince and without another word went to the biggest bed she has ever seen. I think 10 people could sleep here! But…by the Gods… how… comfortable. She then realized how exhausted she was, falling asleep in minutes.
