(Name)'s POV
The Pharaoh and I are walking in the royal garden as we watched the sunset with its different colors as they shined throughout the vast sky.

"So how does it feel like to be a Queen?"

The Pharaoh asked me as my mind went to the question I had asked myself earlier, "on that subject Pharaoh... Why did you choose me? Out of all the royals you could have married, you chose me" I was so confused and I need answers. Now. Then he chuckles which turned into a heart filled laugh.

"Did I say something funny?"

I asked curious. Why would he laugh? Then his eyes meet mine as a gentle smile appeared on his lips while he looked back at the sky.

"Other than Ra guiding me, I chose you because unlike the princesses I've had to meet with... You are different. You don't take your beauty as your pride, you are brave and kind, you put others before yourself, but most of all..... You are passionate towards others"

Then he held my hand. I swear to the gods that my heart was going to burst! Atem stopped walking as I did so, he was looking at something.... Atem put a hand on the roses and a thorn accidentally cut him "OH MY RA! Phroah!!" I gasp out of fear, worry, and pain. Seeing my now husband get hurt is like a punch in the face! I grab his hand and begin to rise it up and decreasing the blood that will come out of it.

I ripped off a bit of my dress as I wrap it around his finger. My heart was about to leave my body as I was afriad. Atem laughs at my panicked state as I look up at him.

"Thank you (name)."

He smiles kindly. Why would he thank me? "Why are you thanking me?" I voice out my thoughts, then he looks at me and kept that kind smile "I wanted to see if you would care if I were harmed whether it be by a rose or not. I also wanted to see your reaction, which was a very good one". In anger I walked off. Why did I walk off? Because that Pharoah keeps testing me when he's tested me enough already!!! Grrrr!!!!! IT MAKES ME SO MAD! I just want him to accept me as I am. Not just because I'm different from others! I bet he just chose me because the Gods told him too.

My eyes began to sting from my tears that threatened to spill as I walked out of the palace. The guards tried to bring me back but I told them that I had business to take care of. Once they let me go I walked until I got out of the gates as I then sprinted to the whom I wanted to talk to: Mrs. Amaya, perhaps she can help me.

Atem's POV
As I watch my Queen walk away I just stood there, shocked as to why she had walked away. I called out her name hoping she would turn around "(NAME)! (NAME)!" I shouted. Did I do something to anger her? I walked back into the palace when I saw Mana walking and talking to some of the slaves. When she heard my footsteps she turned around giving me a bow along with the other slaves, when Mana looked back up her eyes showed concern "Pharoah? Are you alright?" She asked. I was confused as to what she was talking about until I put my hand on my faces.

Streams of the salty liquid slid down my face "excuse me" I said and walked to my room, locking the door behind me. I sat on my bed as I felt my face become more soaked in my tears. I am not used to these tears for I have cried in years.

Hearing a knock on the marvelous golden doors, I wiped away my tears and cleared my throat "come in" I said in a loud and proud voice, not wanting to show any signs of weakness. The one that walked into the door was my own cousin: Priest Seto. Seto had a crossed look on his face "Pharaoh... Please explain to me why your wife just ran out of the palace" he said (more like commanded) as I give a sigh and explain what had happen. When I finish telling him everything I look at him and walk out to the balcony where I watched the village ceasing out due to the setting sun. "I am not sure what to do" I say without look at Seto "why do you continue to test her?" Seto asked me. It took me a minute or two to answer, I was thinking of a positive way of saying "to be sure she's a good wife and Queen" that isn't what I want to say. I grip the stone rail in front of me, I was so tense "I wanted to make sure she was able to think quick on her feet and if she would try to do something herself instead of scream for help" my tone was so sad that I could see the sympathy in Seto's eyes. "If you truley love her then you must do whatever it takes to bring her back" and then he left my room. I looked at the now red-purple sky, it was almost dark. But I can't just stop because of that. Because it is my duty as the Pharaoh and a husband that I bring back my Queen! Both the village and I need her!
