Pharaoh's First Love

page 13

Shelyn fell silent in her humming when she saw Calion. "Don’t let him tease you so. You will get it in time. Perhaps tomorrow we try another instrument if you’d like."
She was supportive. And knew very well what big brothers were like. "It is getting late. I’m afraid I will have to take up the offer another time, pharaoh." She replied before looking out to the scene before standing.
Jin stood still clutching the instrument. "Will you please stay? You can have my room" trying to bribe her if anything with comfort and no reason to be worried.
Shelyn would blush. Flattered. "How about I come early. I will eat meals with you and we can play music together. Each night I will tuck you in before I leave. Will you accept that instead?"
Jin shook his head. Then took her hand. "I want you to live here. I will marry you if I have to. Calion make her stay please..." he begged. Giving puppy eyes to the two. Even as he clung to her hand.
Shelyn was only more embarrassed by his claims. She couldn’t stay.
Calion chuckled by both the words that came out of Jin’s mouth as well as the light cute blush which graced her cheeks. “Persistent isn’t he? Can you really say no to the birthday boy? I’ll tell you what Jin. You let Shelyn tuck you into bed and I will do all I can to ensure she stays the night so that you can see her upon waking up.” The pharaoh walked around to her other side, taking her hand with his own soft hands while entwining his fingers and began to lead her towards Jin’s bedroom. Naturally he didn’t have a room prepared at such short notice, although he wouldn’t bat an eye at inviting her to stay in his bedroom. He had no intentions of performing any sinful acts with the nun and he was old enough to be able to control himself next to a female. Not that he was bragging, but it’s not as if the pharaoh was lacking any ‘service’ in his life.
“Might I ask why you’d be opposed to staying within the palace? Granted, it’s not quite as pretty as your own land I do believe it should be just as comfortable, if only for a one night stay. And if not… perhaps you might accompany me for a little bit of help? With my plants wilted around my throne room and bedroom I was hopeful that maybe you could take a look and suggest to me which species of flower might suit the area best.” Calion said, also desiring the young girl to reside over night, but he wouldn’t push her against her will, and certainly not in front of Jin. Soon they approached Jin’s bedroom. He would have informed the young prince that Shelyn was unable to be married as she was a nun, but he didn’t want to shatter the boy’s dreams.
Shelyn sighed. "I enjoy my own bed." She simply replied. Following the two but not daring snatch from Calion.

Jin was happy and pulled her along away from his brother just to show her everything he had that he liked. And luckily it only took a few minutes for her to get him to bed. At least he listened to her. She swore as he held her hand and she stroked his hair that she would be at the table waiting on him in the morning. As he fell asleep she slipped away to the waiting pharaoh.
"I’m sure you know I cant marry him. And I have not accepted his very sweet request." She told him as she walked out of the room.
Yun and Aoi passing. Offering smiles and waves as they continued on toward another area.
