Pharaoh's First Love

page 25

All the same she wouldn’t dare let him know her father had control over who she married. "You can continue dreaming. Even a kiss puts me in too far. I have no intention upon asking for any other favor. There is nothing more important." She informed him.
However, she frowned at the idea if him bedding his concubine. "I will not let you anywhere near me in such a way. I’m not your test object." Still blushing she basically scolded him.
But her mind was off her brother's pain. She continued eating her bread normally now. Taking a few pieces of cheese to eat with it as they talked.
“My oh my, phrased and said like that it’s almost as if you are giving a pharaoh orders, dear girl.” He chuckled light heartedly. Sure, there were probably many who wouldn’t dare deny pharaoh or speak to him in such ways, but he was not talking to her as a pharaoh right now, more so a friend, or perhaps mate as he couldn’t help but enjoy flirting with her a bit.
“So, you’d like to be more than just a test subject huh? Very well Shelyn, you drive a hard bargain, perhaps we can think up a label for you if you like. My… priestess~ After all they do serve and do the bidding of gods.” He decided he’d not push matters anymore, despite him only kidding through much of it he still didn’t think it would be an appropriate location for them to have this discussion while Helm’s body was right nearby.
“Moving on though, I assume you’ll be wanting to stay in this room tonight? Any reservations in me keeping you company? Or would you rather me go find someone else to talk to through the night?”
She turned her gaze away. "I’d rather you just left me alone in general. As horrid as it sounds after you are allowing me here.... I’m already doomed to lay in your bed tomorrow...I’m sure I will make do without your.... charms...all night."
She never thought of how she talked to him. To her he was just another man. One that she wouldn’t put past to try doing anything sneaky. But it didn’t matter.
Yun knocked. "Shelyn, Jin is waiting on you."
He stepped in and over. "He is begging to see you."
Shelyn sighed and stood. Looking to Calion. "I made a promise to tuck him in each night...I won’t go back on it. I will be back shortly..." she said to Calion before leaving.

Yun smirked. "I’ll be asking for her hand tomorrow. So, don’t get any ideas." with that he walked out too
Calion only rose an amused brow at Yun. He knew full well Shelyn would undoubtedly deny the boy. She hardly knew him after all, and how sweet would it be for Yun to ask her to marry him only to find out she had to lay in his bed that night regardless of whether she said yes or no. “Good luck little brother~” He said with a smile upon his face as he quietly sat with Helm and kept an eye on the male, inwardly wondering to himself if he should just bypass Shelyn all together and speak with her father? Of course, that might be a little too direct… after all it’s not like he could ask for her hand and then go back on it.
