Pharaoh's First Love

41

Helm gazed at Calion with a distant stare. As if he was elsewhere. "My pharaoh?" He repeated. Home. He searched deeply for what this man asked. "Who is...Shelyn?" He questioned. A bit confused. Everything was confusing.
Why wasn’t he home and who was Shelyn and why was her life on the line because he was attacked? However, it would become clear many memories might be effected at this moment.
"I... was going home. My parents are waiting..."
He starting to explain. Managing to smack himself with the cast when he lay his hand over his face to let out a heavy sigh.
"...Two men on horses. One with...." he had to truly think.

Yun barged in with the nurse following. "Brother, there is news." As if on cue interrupting Helm from trying to explain. But the voice was enough to pull his gaze.
Helm went wide eyed. "You!"
The nurse had been telling prince Yun to wait. Though the applesauce had been dumped on her for getting in his way. She bowed apologetically to Calion.
However, Yun glared. "Ah the soldier wakes. Good."
But it only thru Helm into a fit of immobile rage.
Calion’s eyes narrowed. Did this man truly not remember Shelyn, or was he playing dumb? It was possible that with the injuries suffered his mind might not be up to par, but all that was put on hold as the door hastily opened and Yun’s voice called out.
“What? What news Yun? Helm has just woken up and I don’t know how much longer he’ll be with us. If anyone knows what is going on it has to be him. It’ll become clearer once we understand what he knows.” Calion said, biting his inner cheek and shifting his eyes to the nurse to which he shook his head dismissively. “Go clean up and get another.” He told her, turning his attention back to Helm who seemed to be burning a hole into Yun with his gaze.
“Go on Helm, tell us what you know. Your parents are in trouble, you are in trouble, your sister’s life too may be at stake if you don’t tell me the whole truth.” He said, trying to calm the male down from being so enraged and trying to focus Helm on speaking further.
"I.. don’t have a sister" he started. still glaring Yun down. "And that man attacked me on my way home. He was one of the men on a black horse."
Yun smirked. "Brother do you truly think I would attack one of your soldiers? A decorated soldier who, could probably kill me as I stand here now." Yun was "lazy" he didn’t fight. or rather wasn’t interested. He is the kind of prince who breaks a nail and complains over it. "But the news...did you know her name isn’t actually Shelyn? Its Gemma. His "wife” was the wife to his youngest brother. Shelyn is her daughter. Helm was adopted by the old man who needed an heir. And Shelyn was going to be his bride. If anything, that whole family is a bunch of liars." Yun stated. Hoping this was believable
Helm growled. "You lying bastard! You attacked me. You cursed my name and vowed no man shall stand in your way!"
