&&&

Mina was outraged, speechless, and in a state of confusion, also befuddled with loads of questions. Like, how did he know about what happened the other night? Or, how did he..? No, she did not. Mina found herself pacing up and down her room.

For the love of Ra, you cannot be serious...

Eh?

Denying it...

Denying what?

That you have feelings for the boy...

I do not! And who are you to tell me what I do or do not feel for certain people?

I am a more mature you. Your conscious. And if it were true that you did not, you would have not answered me quite so quickly to whom I was referring to.

I...uh.. Her own self was right. But she would not admit it, it was probably just some anemic feeling that would go away, sooner or later. But hopefully sooner.

Mina's thought were cut off abruptly by a knock on the door. And she had just realized that the sun was just about setting, and that party was tomorrow.

She rushed over to the door to see that it was just a servant delivering the dress Mina had sent to be made. She thought it was simple, the way she thought of it. But no, it was way more elegant dazzling than she had imagined. And what if she had it on. Mina chuckled.

A commander slapped down a piece of papyrus onto the surface of table. The hieroglyphics threatening the certain people who were involved and all those who were to interfere would be blown to bits, if the Pharaoh didnt give up the throne, and the give the sacred millennium items.

"What should we do?" one sitting there said.

"I guess we wait." said the commander.

"Wait? What if they are already killed by the time we wait too long?" replied one of the bodies sitting down.

"This is just a threat, we can't do anything about it. There is no leads as to where the enemy will attack first. And not to mention, who he or she will attack first. There are four known to have this...this..mark. And we can't locate them all. They could be anywhere in Egypt..." the commanding body breathed.

"If I may, captain, I will be more than willing to look for the four." A woman stood to suggest.

The captain looked perplexed, " Are you actually willing to search and find these individuals that are probably scattered throughout the country?"

"Well. I already know where two of them are." She stated.

"Really now?"

"Yes."

"Ok, then I have no other choice but to let you follow them and watch them and to say undercover for this." He commanded.

"Great. Then I'll leave today, immediately."

As the girl left to her journey, the captain sighed and looked at the paper, reciting it in his mind.(And of course translating from hieroglyphics)

If I do not have them and the throne at my hand.

Those with the lunar shaped mark,

will go at the break.

Dusk had arrived earlier than expected, Mina had done all preparation possible to look decent for this event. Many people had came to hog Mina's personal space and was feeling rather ...stuffy.

"For the love of Ra," Mina desperately said getting untangled from the whole circle mob that had surrounded her. "Let a girl breathe."

"Well at least you look formal," her mother pointed out.

She did, in fact looked better than before. She admitted but why would they to so much trouble for it?

"Well, well, aren't you looking fabulous," a voice said from the door. "I guess you want to be young prince's wife that bad, after all" spat her sister.

Mina almost choked at her own saliva, "I beg your pardon?"

"Oh, were you not supposed to know? This whole ...party was for him to pick out a wife or future queen." Nanami said. Her mother threw death glares at her.

"M-Mother was there and itty bitty part that you kindly forgot to add about this whole thing." she looked at her mother.

"I..uhh.. Well, you see we knew you wouldn't have accepted to go in the first place, if you would have thought that what this party's intentions where," her mother stuttered.(1)

"I am not going to go to this party, if I have a slight chance to becoming his wife." Mina said disgusted at the thought that she would be next to the ...brat for the rest of her life. No, most certainly not.

"Its not like you have no choice anyway."

"What?" she turned to her sister.

"You have to go whether you like it not, cause face it. You are going to have to get married sometime, right?"

Mina pondered.

"Well there isn't time to waste, we have to go," her mother said.

Mina whined the whole way to the (ehh...ballroom?) to the room where the party was, while her mother was telling her a few things she had to do while being there.

"You have to at least dance with the prince at least once, in fact just once."(2)

"I have to dance with him too?"

"Yes, you do or then how will his parents decide which of you best for him. You cannot think that his parents will pick a bride for him that's not well-mannered and appropriate for him." Her mother explained.

Ok, so I just have to be bad at this and. . .no problem.
