No One's POV

The next morning Atem decided that when he goes to the town he should at least say hello to a friend. But before he could go into his room from the balcony a knock was heard at his door "come in" he spoke with his deep voice letting the person come into his room. It was Priest Seto. "Pharaoh, there is another princess here to see you" Priest Seto explains to Atem. Atem grunts in frustration "very well, I shall see this princess" and with that Atem walked to the Throne Room seeing a princess with dirty blonde hair, ruby eyes, tan skin, and a white Egyptian dress that was decorated gold and silver.

"Welcome." Atem spoke signalling the princess to start with whatever rubbish she has to say "my name is Alexia, and I am the princess from the Southern part of Egypt. Truthfully, I think that I am most suit to be your queen" that last sentence amused Atem greatly "oh? And how is that?" Atem asked, 'hopefully this is a joke' Atem thought to himself.


 The princess known as Alexia smiles brightly as she throws her arms out and above her "because I am the prettiest, the richest, and the most kind princess you could ever ask for. I am different from those other princesses, I am the one that cares about my people" Alexia laughs putting her arms down and looking at the Pharaoh that stood before her. Atem couldn't hold back his laughter confusing the princess "do you really cared about your people?!" Atem asked aloud for all in the palace to hear. 


Alexia couldn't help but shake in fear of the Pharaoh's sudden outburst "o-of course I do!" She shouted but Atem saw right through her lies as he gave an amused smirk while a chuckle erupted from his throat "those slaves that carried you here must be in a lot of pain judging from their cuts and bruises as they are chained like animals!" Alexia gasped. When did the Pharaoh see her?

Atem let out another chuckle "and those guards you screamed at for not putting your jewelry on right must've been harsh" Atem's smirk grew, he had Alexia right where he wanted her, he would play a game with her mind, he wanted his future queen to not just be kind but smart too. The servants in the palace appeared along with the guards as they stood within the halls, Alexia felt tears prickling her ruby eyes 'this isn't fair' she thought as she turned around and ran out of the palace with her guards running after her. 


Atem sighed relaxing in his seat as Priest Seto went up to his throne "do you suppose that was too harsh Pharaoh?" Asked Seto, Atem stood up and walked down the stairs from the throne "no I do not think it is harsh. She lied about treating her people kindly, you know that I cannot stand liars Priest Seto" and with that Atem walked towards the gates but was met with Mana "oh hello Pharaoh!" Mana greeted with a bright smile "good evening Mana, I am going out for a walk" Atem smiled back "oh? Do you need any company?" Mana asked.


 Whether the kingdom looked peaceful of not there were always those who hide in the dark, waiting for the right time to attack. Atem shook his head to the side "no thank you, it's just to see a friend" and with that Atem walked off into the kingdom. Meanwhile a girl with (h/l) (h/c) hair, (e/c) eyes, sand colored dress, and brown sandals walks around the kingdom with a smile on her face as she hums a tune since she was on a break. 


She sees Mrs. Amaya, a women in her early 30's, holding heavy crates that she would've dropped if it weren't for (name) to help her "huh?" Mrs. Amaya questioned not seeing who had helped her. Then (name) poked her head out to the side showing a kind smile "hi Mrs. Amaya" (name) greets as a wide smile comes onto Mrs. Amaya's face "oh hello (name)! It's so nice seeing you here!" The older lady greeted back. 


(Name) looks at the crates as she took the fruit crates "here, let me" (name) said regarding Mrs. Amaya's disagreements "oh you don't have to!" She said frantically trying to take the crates back but (name) took a step back avoiding Mrs. Amaya as (name) nodded her head "you need help so I'm going to help you. It's not against the rules right?" (Name) questioned. Mrs. Amaya sighs "ok, fine" she says and the two girls go to Mrs. Amaya's stand.

(Name) places the heavy fruit crates behind the wooden stand "there you go" (name) said cleaning the dust off her hands "thank you (name)!" The teen smiles "no problem!" Mrs. Amaya takes something and holds it in her hands "(name) how old are you again?" She asks "I turned 16 last month" (name) responds wanting to know why Mrs. Amaya would ask such a thing. Mrs. Amaya glares at (name) scaring her a bit "you really should start thinking about marriage, you have everything a man could ask for: a good body, beautiful face, kindness, bravery, and you're tough. If you ask me, I think any man will kill for you" Mrs. Amaya smiles putting a hand on (name)'s shoulders.


 The teen girl sighs looking at the sand beneath her "I really don't think anyone likes me much" (name) says sheepishly. Mrs. Amaya hands the teen something "I want you to keep this. Think of it as my wedding gift when you get married" (name) looked and saw that the item Mrs. Amaya gave her was her hair pin that her husband gave her before he was attacked while he was trading "what?! No! This is your's, this is something that is special to you. You MUST keep it" (name) insisted to the older lady. After hearing about her husband's death she fell into despair as she made a few attempts near the Nile river, but over time, with the help of (name), she has regained her happiness.


(Name) looks at Mrs. Amaya giving her a hug "if I do get married soon....... Can I still come over and talk to you as we are now?" (Name) asked, Mrs. Amaya was a very important person to her after all. Mrs. Amaya smiles and pets (name)'s hair "of course dear" she says and thinks a bit "I bet even the Pharoah would like you, you and him are alike" Mrs. Amaya gave a wink making (name) blush "if the Pharoah likes me??? That'll be the day" and with that (name) turn around and said "well I have to get to work. It was nice to see you again Mrs. Amaya" (name) said running off.


Mrs. Amaya watched (name) as she ran "still worried about her?" A fellow seller asks "oh good evening Linda" Mrs. Amaya greets with a fake smile. "Please Kate, I can tell that you're worried" the seller known as Linda says walking towards the widow seeing the hairpin she was holding.


"(Name) works very hard. Working dusk till dawn, she even hardly gets breaks. I'm surprised she gets one now" Linda says looking towards the direction Mrs. Amaya was looking "and I was the one that she had to help during her break" guilt builded up within Mrs. Amaya's chest. 


Linda looks at Mrs. Amaya (or Kate as she calls her) watching how her hands clenched onto the hair pin "maybe she came this way to see you, ya know?" Linda smiled at Mrs. Amaya "she thinks of you as her second mother. After all, you were there for her when her family was murdered by those thieves" Linda thinks back to when Mrs. Amaya and her husband made an effort to care for the young child. "Well she learned from watching" Mrs. Amaya truthfully states "and don't forget that she was also there when..." Linda stopped talking, Mrs. Amaya's husband was a tough subject for those who knew him. He was a good person that didn't deserve the beating he got. Mrs. Amaya sigh "it's fine" and with that, they continue to work.
