Note: I added a photo of what I envisioned the dress to look like. Excuse my drawing skills:)

Upon arrival to the throne room, you glanced around. Where was priest seto? Mana brought you into the throne room so you could help her and the said priest with the final preparations,

"Oh, Calixta! There you are!"

You quickly turned around to spot the priest,

"Priest Seto, do you need help with any preparations?"

"Ah yes, I need the last of the guards organized by the pharaoh's throne. I know you will be one of them of course, but I want as much protection as possible"

"Of course Seto, I shall take care of it now"

You quickly waved at the priest before rushing outside to assemble a meeting with the guards.

~~~~~~~3 hours later~~~~~~

Checking the time, you had realized it was five thirty, the celebration begins at six! Everyone had long finished the preparations. All that was left was for you to switch your outfit. You and Mana headed back into your room to change. As soon as you tried on your new dress, you looked in the mirror,

"Wow, Calixta! That is the dress you will be wearing?"

"Yes ma'am, I wanted to look good today"

"That and you wanted to look good for the pharaoh"

Mana stood next to your bed smirking. Your eyes almost popped out of your sockets. Over the past six months, you had fallen for the pharaoh, but you had never told anyone...

"I-I don't know what you're talking about"

"Stop lying, I know you have feelings for Atem"

"Did I make it that obvious?"

"It's not that, its just the way you two look at each other. Priest Seto, Mahad and I have all caught on. Pretty much the whole council knows it. We just need for you two to finally make it happen. Surely you'll impress Atem with that dress tonight,"

You blushed, looking back at the mirror. Your dress had a revealing V line on the front, showing off your cleavage. Midway near your thigh, a slit was placed. The dress had managed to maintain an Egyptian look with its jewelry and intricate designs. You brushed off the wrinkles on your dress,

"I sure hope he likes the song I will sing to him"

Mana patted your back,

"I'm pretty sure he will love it. Now let's get going, we are going to be late"

Once more, Mana dragged you out of your room and into the throne room. You looked around amazed by how beautiful it looked finished. Looking at the ceiling, you spotted a painting of the gods. The pillars in the room were decorated with care using purple, white and gold silks. Tables with white cloths were set on either side of the main floor. The food out on display made you hungry even after eating. The main floor was directly in front of the king's throne chair. Every inch of the throne room sparkled with cleanliness,

"Calixta, I've been looking for you"

You spun around, catching sight of a very stressed Seto,

"I am so sorry I showed up this late Seto, did you need something?"

"Yes, I was hoping if you could get organized into place for the celebration. We have ten minutes left"

"Of course"

Walking off to your place beside the Pharaoh's throne, you watched as Seto ordered Mana to get the Pharaoh. You couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. 'You'll be fine' you told yourself.
