Pharaoh's First Love

92

“I wouldn’t mind you in my lap as we ate, although I’m not sure what excuse you can think up that’ll put Jin’s concerns at ease.” He chuckled, even if Jin was his brother it was like having a little son that was perpetually trying to cock-block him.
She stood and fixed her dressed. Grabbing her ring from the dresser and slipping it onto her slender ring finger before taking his hand again. "You’re a spoiled brat who insisted upon being fed. A pharaoh shouldn’t use his hands when he has a servant free to do so." She told him in a mocking voice. Trying to sound like him. Of course, she failed but it pressed a smile upon her lips.
Jin was struggling to sit up and be awake. Even as Shelyn passed he just didn’t have the energy. Giving a slight cough as if he swallowed his spit wrong.
"You know...it wouldn’t be wrong to marry me for Jin...." she finally said. After all what harm was there in them getting married to give Jin a proper mother?
“And who might be this servant that is free to do so?” Calion asked in wonderment as to whether Shelyn would dare consider herself a servant, then again, wasn’t she in some way? After all, she met and satisfied his needs and desires. The only difference between her and the other servants would be the fact that he also wanted to meet and satisfy hers. Sexually as well as romantically in the sense he had true conviction to wanting to make her a proper married woman should they be blessed enough to be with child.
Calion tugged on her wrist as he took a seat at the opposite side of the large table from Jin. That way the boy could still see their faces, but not necessarily their waists or if the pharaoh wanted to rest a palm upon Shelyn’s thigh. And if Jin asked why she had to sit in his lap? Simply because Amarie was away.
Positioning his beloved little girl in his lap the thin robe did little to hide the outline of his member, which wasn’t hard yet anyway, but clearly could be felt through the thin fabrics. “So Jin, you’ll be happy to know today Shelyn will be moving into the guest bedroom. Naturally, unless important matters are being discussed here, you’ll be allowed to come and have your lessons each day. Speaking of which, miss Shelyn…” Calion said softly against her neck. “Do you have plans on teaching the boy today?” He wondered, out of his own curiosity. Of course, if he did leave her be to tend to other things there was no telling if Mirien would try and sink her claws into him if he left this part of the palace.
Jin's eyes went wide. Oh, the excitement of hearing his beloved teacher was getting her own room. Finally, he would get her to himself. However, this didnt stop him from enjoying his second breakfast.
"Yes, I do. I should keep myself busy. And I am sure Jin is in a hurry to get back to work. Are you going to sit in and learn too?" She asked curiously.
Her hands prepping a biscuit before placing a bit of fruit preserve upon it and then offering Calion a bite first. "
Jin frowned seeing Shelyn feed his brother. He didnt like it. He also didnt want to share her during his lessons. And was sure the sooner she got her own room Calion would stop using her. He bit his tongue. He truly liked the girl. And he didnt want Calion to have her. After that first night he felt he needed to protect her. Calion didnt care...and all this nice was just an act.
With one arm around her waist he leaned in, pressing his warm chest against her back as he parted his lips to take a bite. Nodding his thanks as his other arm outstretched and began to plate some fried strips of pork belly. “I figure it might be best for Jin if you have one on one time with him and your lessons, you and I can review things together at other times.” Of course, teaching Calion anything would prove rather difficult, unless she planned on mounting him while she taught.

“I have matters to attend in relation to what Aoi had spoken of.” He didn’t want to come forth and say his brother spoke of Helm’s return, it would be cruel to get Shelyn’s hopes up. “Understandably there has been a loss of morale and a void in leadership so I would like to make sure things are turning as smoothly as can be hoped.” He said, being truthful. “Maybe by lunch time you and I can have a picnic out by your garden? Amarie may come as well if you wish for her to tend garden.”
She nodded. Partially disappointed but it had to be. "When she returns I will put it on her list of things.." she told him before nibbling on the biscuit without much thought to him having had some. Today seemed like things would be changing. Even if she had a bed of her own...would he still come lay beside her? Or call for her? 
Though time apart would probably give her a sense of a life again. Maybe she could go back to her normal work. She was sure the doctor would still need medicines that were made by her family.
"Jin why dont you go get the instrument? We can start soon alright?"
Jin hesitated. But stood and wandered off. Mumbling to himself.
Shelyn stood. Giving Calion a kiss once Jin was out of sight completely. "I suppose I should get going then...”
Calion could hear the minor bit of disappointment in her voice, wondering to himself if she wished he’d stay for her lessons. Of course he was of mind to assuage her concerns and so by the time Jin had left and she pressed her soft tender lips to his own his hands each reached out to hold onto her wrists as he pulled her back for a deeper kiss letting his tongue enter and entwine with hers before parting after a moment and looking up into her eyes as she stood.
“Make no mistake, lover. My only reasoning to leave you with Jin is due to the fact this lewd man would not be able to keep his hands off you and the only instrument I wish to play is you.” He said the lewd words as if it were the simplest thing in the world, for he had no shame in admitting to her how he felt and desired.
“That being said, while Amarie tends to your garden later I have every intention upon tending to you and likely relieving myself of this pent-up desire.” He said, letting her mind wander onto just how much of her he’d want, considering her moon cycle. “We’ll be together again soon, say in a few hours? Unless I just steal and hide you away now~” He playfully winked.
She stumbled into him. Into their kiss. Her tongue meeting his and the sweet taste of berries mixed and mingled as they kissed. Reassured in some way.
"You’re always so lewd...Jin is going to catch you one of these days." She told him. "You’re going to need to tell Jin. If you don’t it might be really upsetting to him when he does hear it. Especially if from someone else." She didnt want them to sneak around Jin continuously.
"Just...try not getting caught up in anything too busy. I might be mad at you if you miss this little picnic with us this afternoon."
Calion frowned and shifted his eyes away. “I know you’re right. Although I get no pleasure in dashing his dreams. I suppose it would be prudent for me to have a discussion with him, man to man. After all, he’s nearing the age where he can’t be simply considered a little kid, but will need to understand the realities of the situation. It won’t be too much longer.” Calion said before continuing his breakfast and making a promise he would not be late. In all truth he doubted he would be able to fill up the next few hours completely.

With that Amarie came back about fifteen minutes later carrying a small sack of items, the only things she had to her name. Three different dresses, a blanket she had made herself, two sets of undergarments, although she typically didn’t wear any and a simple necklace with a blue sapphire. A gift from Calion when she entered his harem. He typically gave each concubine one piece of jewelry, and all of them had the inscription of his seal on the back. It was forbidden for them to be sold and if anyone was caught selling such jewelry there would be consequences for both buyers and sellers. Effectively, this jewelry was ‘worthless’ in monetary value. Naturally she stopped wearing it after Calion stopped calling her into bed, but she still thought it was pretty.

She set her things down in the corner of the room. “I’m back my lady. I promise nothing will take up too much space, I’m more than okay with this corner and the floor, if that’s alright?” She asked hoping that wasn’t too much to claim.
Shelyn thanked him. Giving him another kiss. Then walked off to let him eat in peace. Shelyn greeted Amarie with a smile. "Let’s just see how the room is set up shall we? I’m sure theres room to put your things away neatly. Jin will be meeting us in the room. So, while I instruct, I will have to leave you to moving my things there and putting them away. Can’t leave the new dresses on the couch."
She instructed before heading off towards the bedroom she would be calling hers during this cycle. Or at least until she was married to Calion. "Also....I’m going to have a list of chores made up for you. Many will be daily chores. Things to keep you busy so that you can avoid Mirien..."
She turned her brown eyes upon Shelyn and bowed her head in thanks. “That is more than considerate, thank you. And yes of course.” She gave a bright smile and quickly hurried away bringing in the newly purchased gowns. As she began setting them up in the closet and before Jin arrived, she spoke aloud. “Such would be for the best and I can’t properly explain how grateful and indebted I am towards you. She’s a very… cruel woman towards other females. If you were to ask me, I am hoping you will indeed marry the Pharaoh and rid us of her.” She turned to look over her shoulder. “One word of advice… don’t drop your guard around her, nor accept anything she gives you. They say a woman’s weapon is poison and I wouldn’t put it past her to interfere with you carrying the pharaoh’s heir. But I don’t think any of us needs to worry. You seem to bring a warm light with you no matter where you go. Both for me, the young master, and I don’t think I’ve seen such a look in the Pharaoh’s eyes in quite some time. You make him happy when no one else can.”
Shortly thereafter Calion rose from his breakfast and began to make his way out of his room, walking down the halls towards the more common areas of the palace whereby he expected generals, commanders, and Aoi to be around. Servant girls were of course about serving this lord or that, little spies for Mirien although this never bothered Calion, after all she would always come to him if she found out anything concerning him. Although he wasn’t quite looking forward to the next time, he saw her… things were left rather heated between Shelyn and her.
Shelyn smirked to herself. "As soon as I can she will be gone. But I can’t rid her if Calion won’t let her go. Perhaps we should find a way to expose her? Sure, Caliom wouldn’t forgive her for killing any of his children...bastard or not. He thinks he is unable to have children...." then it dawned on her. "Amarie....find me a paper...I think I just figured out how to expose her as a wicked woman. Hopefully no one but you and Calion know of my cycle starting. Otherwise it won’t work..." this was whispered just in case. Hopefully Calion wouldn’t get angry she lied. But part of her wanted that woman exposed. She avoided punishment for trying to have her raped...it was time the woman was removed. The servants feared her.
Jin waved at Calion on his way back to Calion's room. His instrument in hand. And blissfully unaware of things.
“N-no of course not. I only just found out this morning. It would not be proper of me to share such intimate details of my lady with others.” Amarie said, and besides she had spent the night and the majority of the morning only in Calion’s part of the palace. “One moment.” She said, scurrying off into Calion’s bedroom, it was a little awkward being in the familiar room in which she had lost her first experience, but things were different now. She wasn’t the same naïve girl that believed the pharaoh would fall in love with her. She knew what her uses were and she was happy to have made him even a little happy. With that she fetched some parchment and a pen. Returning to Shelyn’s bedroom where she quietly entered and saw Jin, giving him a smile, before setting the items on a nearby table for Shelyn.

“Quite the busy morning isn’t it my lord?” A familiar voice rang out behind Calion as Mirien slipped herself up behind him and wrapped her arms around his midsection, nearing her lips to his neck. “Unfortunate that soldier had to pass, the ranking officials don’t know where to go, who to appoint. Course, this is a matter for old men to bicker back and forth, plot and scheme such as old men do. If you grow bored, love, I would be more than happy to show you my garden, my flower.” She teased and tempted him, after all… Calion was the sort to rarely turn down such a thing and it had been awhile since Mirien made it a point to have him bed her.
