Britt had finally relaxed fully now that Eris was out of her view, she didn't hate her cousin she just didn't like her cousin's flirtatious ways. Especially in front of her children she wouldn't stand aside letting Rei, Kamari and Keda see such behavior.

she'll learn not to cross me in my husband's home. Britt thought

Meanwhile, Eris was with Darius getting their things unpacked for their stay with their cousin. Darius hadn't said a word to his sister for her behavior at their cousin's reaction. He knew his sister was out of line when it came to family. It didn't mean he hated his cousin or his sister, he just stayed out of family affairs.

"So she's Queen of this whole Palace and she's not even gonna come talk to us except send us away with her ladies in waiting. " Eris said

"Don't start fights Eris. Brittania is doing everything she can to be a role model to her daughters the princesses." Darius said

"She didn't even introduce her children." Eris reminded him

"She will give her time." Darius assured his sister

Eris wasn't one for giving someone their time as they needed but her brother was determined to make sure that she did just that.

Britt had taken her children to the garden and they started to run around. She had changed into her Egyptian Queen outfit to make herself feel comfortable. She knew that Atem was not interested in her cousin Eris but that didn't mean Eris wasn't watching her husband.

Someway somehow that has to not be good. I have to find a way to keep an eye on her during their visit. I love my Persian family but I love my husband and children more. Britt thought

Atem was in the throne room taking care of things like usual so that he could keep everything in order. He had seen that his wife was not comfortable with her family's visit and he could understand why. He didn't care though about the cousin that had his wife on edge. Kamari had snuck out of the garden and snuck up on her father as she crawled up beside him on the desk and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Daddy" Kamari said

Atem laughed "My Mari, what are you doing? I believe you were with your mother in the garden." Atem said

"Mama stressed." Kamari answered

"I know Mari," Atem said

It was true, Britt's stress was very noticeable to him and he knew until the cousins were not around then her stress would probably not stop. He knew though if he could get her into the water it may have been able to calm her down.

After all the Nile Princess seems to relax with water...strange that even though she is my Queen I still refer her as she once was. Atem thought

My precious son is the future of this kingdom. My Rei...yet I fear the worst is to come someday. I hate to think of what life would be like for my children without me. Britt thought but shook those thoughts away.

Britt was watching Rei and Keda run around in the gardens while she was sitting there watching them. She knew that her son would protect his sisters no matter what but she remembered the threat in Syria.

They ever figure out the truth we're in big trouble. Britt thought

She went and walked over to the water as she figured it was time to take a look at their enemy territory as she walked over to the water placing her hand in the water.

"By the powers of Anuket please Show me the Syrian Princess and the fake Nile Princess," Britt said

The water went into water ripples and an image appeared before her. The Syrian Princess she had been listening to was talking with the fake Nile Princess they had sent and was examining her.

"You seem like the real deal now prove to my father you can do the things they say." She told the girl

Britt panicked for no one could do what she could not even the girl they'd sent to take her place though no one knew the true Nile Princess was Queen of Egypt. She didn't care though for she would let her husband know the moment Syria would become a problem. As she watched the girl had tried and since Britt was watching she was trying to see if she could manipulate water but only small squirts of water happened for the girl.

"Maybe she's just tired and out of practice." The Syrian king said

Soon Atem came in the garden so Britt lost her concentration. Her attention went to her husband who greeted her with a kiss and she kissed him back.

"My King." She said

"My Queen you seemed stressed, maybe you should take a break and come with me. Mana can watch the children." Atem suggested

Britt wondered where that came from and soon she saw Mana enter. She knew she could trust Mana for Mana was just as carefree as her children but was also aware of what to do with the future Pharaoh and his sisters so she knew that she could trust her.

"Alright My king, lead the way." Britt suggested

Atem took her hand leading her away to the royal bathing chambers. Once inside he pushed her in the water which not only caught her off guard but made her question his intension on getting her in this room.

He normally does not push me into the water...so something is on his mind or he's just trying to help me calm down with everything going on. Britt thought as she waited a few minutes before resurfacing.

Meanwhile, Hathor was walking around in the palace to see her cousins. She came across Eris walking around seems to be looking for someone so she pushed her against the wall.

"What is the meaning of this?" Eris asked

"Do us all a favor, stay away from Britt's husband. She is Queen of Egypt married to the Pharaoh. You do not need to make her uncomfortable in her own husband's palace." Hathor said

"I will do my best to behave," Eris said

Hathor for one didn't trust Eris for she didn't know their Persian family that much but she let Eris go. She looked at her in the eyes.

"I am the fire Princess, I hope you do know that you will be harmed by me if you cause her problems," Hathor said

"Understood cousin." Eris said

Zoey had been sent to watch the Persian family members so that she could report back to Britt what was going on. Zoey knew that her friend was a bit paranoid with already being wedded to the pharaoh of Egypt and three children but she kept a close eye just in case.

"I know that Britt means the best for her family. Truthfully no one knows the truth that our Queen will find time to sneak out and help the villagers." Zoey said softly

A little later Atem had returned after some time with his wife. He was listening and a certain rumor had finally got to the palace about a cloaked figure helping villagers in need. Atem was curious.

"What color Cloak was this person wearing? Could you tell if it was a man or a woman?" Atem asked

"The voice of the figure belonged to a woman and the cloak was grey Pharaoh." A villager said

This figure has a woman's voice and the cloak color is grey? I don't hear of many people with that...thieves choose to not hide. Royals who do not want to spot wear cloaks. I wonder... Atem thought but didn't finish his thoughts.

Around that time Britt was up in their bedroom as she was going through her things. She pulled out her cloak, her grey cloak, and smiled at the thoughts. It was true that she was sneaking out of the safety of her own husband's palace to help villagers in need. She did it to make herself feel better and more worth being the Queen but also for more time with her husband.

The more people I help the more time I get with my husband. The fewer complaints the pharaoh gets so that he can have time for his Queen and his children. Britt thought

She tucked the cloak away for she didn't want to be spotted with the cloak especially with her Persian family still visiting.

I must stay in the palace at all times until their visit is over. Britt thought

It was hard for her to realize this but she knew that many things had to be done. Syria was still an issue that wasn't going to go away so easily and when the girl had to make another attempt she would not be there to help.

War will be coming someday...and I must find a solution. Britt thought to herself.
