Name P.O.V

So here I was. I was working to the gardens. Luckily, they didn't put me to clean or something worst. I was impressed of the royal garden. There were so much green but not many flowers and trees. I though out loud. 

"If I planted a Styrax japonicus here then the place can be....." I was imagine how I could make the place prettier when a voice cut me.

"May I ask what a Styrax japonicus is?" A kind male voice asked me.

I turned and saw the pharaoh. I quickly knelt and bowed. "My king."

"Stand up from your knees, you don't have to do this."

I stood up and pat my knees so the dirt would fall of my dress. "I'm so sorry, your Majesty. Styrax japonicusis a tree which offers subtle beauty to the landscape. In late spring, it produces white bell-shape flowers that hang from the branches among the leaves. They're mildly fragrant blossoms and become blue-gray fruits in when the leaves turn shades of reddish yellow."

"It sounds beautiful." He smiled. He looked nice and handsome. What a pity I had to kill him.

"It really is, my king. And I believe the ground here can afford it." I smiled back.

"You must be the new gardener. I'm glad, you already had ideas for this garden. What is your name?"

With always my gaze to the ground told him. "I am (F/n)."

"Nice to meet you, (F/n). I am Atem."

I bowed quickly. "It's my honnor King Atem."

"Continue the good job. If you excuse me."

"Of course, your Majesty."

Then he walked away and went... I had no idea. 

'Well, that was good for a start. I wonder where did they put Alim.' I though. 

As long as I planned some flowers, I noticed a girl. What was she holding? Was that a wand or something? May I could ask her if she knew anything for Alim. 

"Um, excuse me." I pokked a little her shoulder.

"Aaahhh. Who are you?" She yelled.

"I---I am (F/n), the new gardener."

"NICE TOO MEET YOU!!! I AM MANA!!!! I AM A MAGICIAN IN TRAINNING!!!" She said with a weird loud happy way.

"Nice too meet you, Mana. I did you say magician?" I was curious. It couldn't be, right? I mean all those with magic and stuff were fake..... or maybe not?

"Let me show you. I will make this flower to bloom." She said some weird words and......

"Hey!!! You kill it!!!" I yelled angry. I did love a lot flowers and I didn't like when they destroyed them.

"I-----I am soo sorry..... I am trying." Mana told me disappointed.

I took a breathe. "Okay. I wanted to ask you if you know where I can find Alim."

She titled her head. "Who is Alim?"

"They bring me and a man around my age, muscle with black hair. Do you have see him? He is new here too."

She tapped with her finger her chin. "Ummmm, let me thing. I think they put a new guy in the barn with horses. That must be your friend."

"Thank you, Mana."

When I finished planning the flowers, I cut some fruits from the trees and went to the barn with the horses. Alim must be hungry, I though.

I found the barn, I opened the wooden door. "Emm, hello." I heard some horses neighing and a man's voice. "(F/n)?" I saw Alim was brushing one horse. "Alim, I find you. I was worried that they maybe put you in a hard work." He smiled. "Nah, I was lucky. They gave me responsibility for all the horses of this barn."

"Alim, they look a lot. How many in this barn?"

"I have a small barn, they must be around 20." He said and whipped with a cloth his sweat.

"20!!! You must be very tired. They put me in the garden and I bring those for you." I chuckled and showed him the fruits.

Did Alim blush? "Thank, (F/n). You are very sweet."

My cheeks change color into a light pink. "Y--You are welcome, Alim."

Time skip

The night had came and I was walking to my room. I was sharing the room with a lot of maids. I was tired,I just fell on the bed and closed my eyes. 'Don't be afraid, Chris. Very soon, we will be together and free. I promise you.'
