The morning light wakes me. The sun shines through my empty room, lighting it entirely. The morning sun isn't as hot as in the afternoon, I cuddle up into my blankets and try to force myself back to sleep. "Nope, don't go back to sleep, you have to get up you know." Said a deep baritone voice. I flip over to the other side to see Atem smirking.
"10 more minutes..." I grumble, placing the blanket over my head.

The blanket was yanked off from my head, and rested on the floor. "Get dressed and meet me in the eating area, just go straight from here and turn left. It's easy to find." He smiles. I nodded to his instructions, and he left and closed the door. After getting dressed in my new clothes, I looked at my reflection in the shiny walls. Wow, no wonder people thought I was beautiful...I shrug it off, and leave my room.

There was a big door, I nervously pushed it in and it opened. I was greeted with bright lights and a humungous room filled with tables of gold. "Y/n, over here, sit with me!" I heard Atem call out. I made my way towards him, I feel many stares from the men and the room, typical. Instead, most of the women were looking too. I sat myself down, and the batch of food was placed in front of me. I look to my left seeing Atem with an amused face, he was resting his head on his hand.

"Go ahead, take a bite."
"....is this a test?"
"No! Of course not." He chuckles.
I look at my plate of food, and take a bite out of the fish that was served to me. I hated fish, but when I took a bite, my face flushed in surprise. "Woah, this is fresh, they would usually serve me rotten food." I gasp. Atem smiles and looks pleased by my answer. "Aren't you going to eat?" I ask. He grins seductively and grabs the fish I took a bite out of, he makes eye contact the entire time. I notice he took a bite on the same spot I ate. My face felt warm, and I felt funny.

Atem immediately stops what he was doing. "Uhm...I'll be right back, keep eating." He said, as he rushed out of the room. Maybe he just doesn't like fish....

Atem's POV
What am I doing?! What was I thinking? That was way out of line. I pace myself back and forth, stressing. KNOCK KNOCK "my pharaoh? It's me, Manna, I'm coming in."
The door slowly creeped open, she must have saw through me, she could tell I was stressed and nervous.
"Uhm....are you ok? You rushed out of the room."
"I'm fine!" I yell quickly.

"Tell me the truth!" She orders, she has guts to say that to me of all people. "It's just....well.....Uhm...I did something dumb."
"Yes..?"
"Uhm....I don't know why? My body moved on its own, I shouldn't be thinking of this."
"Tell me!"
"Well...I don't know....ok..."
Therefore I tell her my situation, she stops and stares at me blankly. After a few seconds of silence, it must have sunk in because now she was panicking. "PHARAOH! HER OF ALL PEOPLE, YOU MUST NOT!"
"MUST WHAT?" I ask.
"YOU CANT JUST NO! ITS FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY AND HERS!"
"WHAT DID I DO WRONG? WHY DO I FEEL WEIRD?"
"Look....I'm sorry but...we can't let you grow closer to her....you must stop talking to her."
"Why? I like her, she's nice."
"That's what I'm talking about, your going to end up falling for a slave!"
"Psh, im not! She's just fun to mess around with, don't worry." I chuckle
"You must marry someone in your class! Not someone lower, you will be beheaded, along with her."
"I don't love her at all! Even if I did, what's so wrong with that?"
"Nothing.....I just don't want the council getting pissed."
"It's alright!" I reassure her. She nods and leaves my room. Love huh? Nah, not with her.

I make it back to the eating area. I set my eyes on her...there's a man next to her. Taking a closer look. It was Seto.
"Hello, you must have met my trustworthy priest." I glanced at y/n. She smiles, and nods. God she pretty
Wait....what no never mind....."Hello pha-" before Seto could finish his sentence, I elbow him in the gut, he lets out a quick grunt, and I drag him away from y/n sight. "Hey...don't tell her I'm the pharaoh..."
"Why?"
"Because...I want to see how she would treat me if I wasn't."
"Why?"
"Just stop asking questions...don't make it obvious."
He nods his head and continues his conversation with y/n, he must really like her, I'm glad.
