It was now three days after the wedding, Aya and Seto were now completely in love with each other. Aya awoke in the early morning hours in Seto's bed, He wasnt there. She looked around, she found him standing in front of the fire. She stepped quietly over to him, but he sensed her behind him instantly. "I will free you from slavery by any means possible." he said and turned gathering her close to him.

Across the palace. Rae awoke in her husbands bed. He was standing near a window over looking the city before them. She walked over to him. Wanting to help ease what ever was on his mind. "My cousin has been distracted." He said, "I am starting to wonder what he is hiding from everyone." He said quietly wishing to seek his wifes council. "Maybe he is troubled by something...Maybe as his cousin you should ask him what troubles him." Rae said sagely.

"Your right...But It has been a long time since I approached him as a cousin." Atem sighed. Rae smiled at him. "It cant be that hard."

He nodded and moved with her back to the bed. He pushed her lightly back onto the pillows and followed her down.

Daylight broaught with it the leaving of most of the foriegn guests, including the King and Queen of Athens. Aya's master was looking to establish ties with that particular country so he decided to barter with the only thing he had, Aya. "King Patricles, I promise you, this wench is no ordinary wench. She has hair the color of gold and is said to be the daugter of Ra. She has about her a beauty that any king would pay a ransom to marry." The King. thought on that for a moment and then nodded. "I wish to see this fair goddess before I make my true decission." The man nodded and left. Leaving the king alone.

Aya's master stormed down the hall to the servants chamber, He entered the room just as Aya did from the other entrance. "Wench. Get over here." He shouted. She obeyd instantly. Leaving Seto in the shadows of the door. "Yes master?" She said.

"Come with me." He said.

He led her down the hall and into the King of Athens chamber. "I have brought her, my lord." He said. He steped behind Aya and pulled off her wig, causeing her hair to cascade down.

The king stood. "She is the very image of Aphrodite. With her golden hair and fair skin. She will have a home in one of our temples as a priestess of Aphrodite. Come girl, we must begin teaching you are language, before you reach my land you must be fluent." He held his hand out and beckoned her forward. Then he turned back to his guards. "See that this man is rewarded for delivering her safely to us." Then he left with Aya.

In the next four hours Aya was caught up with the Greecian group that she couldnt find a moment to slip away and tell Seto. By the end of the morning, just before the noon meal, The geeks took their leave of the city, with Aya sitting in a covered chaise.

Seto was just walking down the corridoor to the throne room to speak with his cousin when Atem approached him. "Atem." He greeted. "Seto." Atem greeted back. "I wish to speak with you."

"And I with you cousin. But you first." Seto answered.

Atem nodded. "I wish to know why you seem so secretive lately." He said.

Seto smiled. "Because I have fallen in love." He said.

Atems eyes widened and he scanned the throne room where many of the foriegn delegates and their families sat. "You will not find her there." Seto said.

"Has she left already?" He asked.

"No, she is not of the nobility. She is of lower birth. In fact I came to ask you for assistance in haveing her freed...So I may marry her." Seto said.

Atem smiled and clapped Seto on the back. He walked him to a private room where they discussed the issue for two hours. Finally they had figured out who the girl belonged to and what her masters weakness was...so they might use it to gain her freedom.

It took another hour to track the man down and then another to jog his memory as to who the girl was. By the end of that time Seto was about ready launch a full scale rescue attempt. The only hitch was that the man had not told them to whom he had sold Aya.

"Atem. I will find her." Seto said as he stormed out the palace.
