(2/2) (chappie 1)
this action causes again to stir but this time it reveal the back of the girl, revealing something more what he was expecting,
A birthmark, a blue colored phoenix birthmark, same as he have but only a difference that his birthmark was black and the girl has blue
“She was!! SHE WAS!! HOW!? She too young to be”
It was barely ten minutes after the ‘kissing incident’ a very tall man wore a blue robe and small crown ,and his eye was deep green blue that makes the man appear cold and dangerous strode in, the look in his face was enough to send people running, but
The king doesn’t mind at all, his thoughts roam around of what positive event would be ‘if he had strode in early’, he would positively be caught kissing the girl and… ‘What will he be thinking of me, when he saw me’ ‘no, no, no, she’s my—no, no, if she is- how? She looks so young to be’ but his chained of thoughts snapped before it grows
“Just what are you thinking?”
“ATA, please calm down”
“I will not, calm down, In RA’s name what are you thinking acting so impulsively”
“LOOK!! The girl was clearly not able to look after herself in her present state”
“OH!! Now you care for someone? Don’t give that nonsense, this is not well thought out decision my king, alim there will be people who would take advantage of this”
“There are always people who would attempt to take advantage no matter what I do, Ata,”
“Foolish my king, you are being completely out of your mind and act so stupid”
Ata being his cousin he was crown as a prince and next heir to the throne if the pharaoh won’t have a child of his own, but being just a cousin he was the most close person of the king and he cares more for his cousin than he care about the throne, and now he think his cousin was crazy for doing unreasonable actions, but it doesn’t seemed the king cared, he was just annoyed by the constant remind of his height, a very great annoyance to the great ruler
“So, where this great slave that the great king Alim felt so compelled to recue”
“In the bed of course, where do you expect great prince? She still sleeps you know” said with a mocking smirk as the pharaoh pointed the bed
As the pharaoh point out the prince pull the silk cloth to view the unconscious girl, regarded him intently for a moment before turning back to his subject with an odd look upon his face
“Uh, I see your reason for bringing her here”
“Aw! The great prince got some feelings after all”
“Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not falling for her, but well I admit she’s—“
“Cute” the pharaoh supplied with a grin
“Maybe” the prince just rolls his eyes
“But you have to see that “
The pharaoh take a serious look and point the birthmark he found just a minute ago, seeing what was pointed out the prince gasped and stared back at him, with a look of surprised and confused
“How? I mean she’s too young to be”
“We still don’t know and we won’t until she wakes up”
“But I insist to know why she has that, you spend your time five years ago finding a person having that but you found no one, but why now, and she seemed to be young enough to be the one”
Silence was the only answer he got, and seems to change the topic the king spoke from silent
“So, how’s the girl, what happened to the girl you like?”
“That would be none of your business”
“Now, unless you want to discuss”
“Alright I get the hint, oh great pharaoh” said with mocking tone and bow
After the prince disappeared his thought turned back to the slave, simply watching and remembering the soft sweet lips he taste not long ago, and he taught she was an angel, almost completely innocent to be real and that his eager to see and take a look of the eyes as he remember Anai said that the eyes were the windows to one soul, and amused by giving, guessing what those eyes would be like and what would they say about the girl, but he couldn’t imagine it them, being like his own or his cousin, and was so caught up in his train of thought that he failed to notice a small figure staring at him frighten, shaking
Starring at the person she tried to memories the well tone muscle build tanned body, slender but perfectly build and the face was perfectly frame as his eye were strong and scary yet so warm deep inside and the way he stand and the clothes he wears, the golden ornaments and jewels wore almost all around the body she can say he was a royalty, and when she see the small circlet wore underneath his long black bangs, she could guess whether he was the prince or the pharaoh himself, by this thoughts she tremble and cry with fear and by this, this is when the pharaoh found himself gazing into a deep sky blue jewel so deep he lose so forever, ‘those eyes were eyes of an angel’ but he tried to touch the girl to comfort but the owner of those deep blue eyes widened in terror gave out a loud scream and started to pound the man with both small hands,
Startled with the sudden action the pharaoh his own yells of surprised had made two guard immediately in at the sound of noise, and swords were ready
“Pharaoh!! Are you alright”
Hearing this the girl felt more afraid and curled up in a ball and whimper
“Yes, yes Leave us alone NOW!!” command by the king and turned to see a curled up figure crying in fear, the guards hesitated but at one look from the king proceed to leave sliding back their sword back into scabbard and bowing on way out
“Hey, do not fear, I vow no harm will come into you” reaching out gently touching the shoulder in reassurance but the girl gave another yelp and curled up even more, and shake violently
“Please...Don’t” she whispers “don’t do it, I… I can’t take it anymore”
Alim was puzzled at it but pleaded more “Please , I swear, I will not harm you in anyway, please try to calm” he heard nothing but after couple minute he felt ease seeing the girl trembling reduced and the girl look up
Hearing the plead of the man she try herself to calm and decide to know whether her guess was right or wrong, she want to know so she can beg to spare her, spare her life
“W—who—are you?”
“I am Alim”
Hearing this, her eyes widened even more and started to beg
“NO!!!!... Please, please, I beg you, please spare me, and please don’t kill me” the king hearing this gasped in annoyance, amazement and confused
“I am a bad slave, but please don’t kill me”
“Why? Why would I do that?”
“The- -they said you would, they say if the pharaoh found me, he would kill me” she said trembling remember all she fears
‘They said, you were looking, and if you know it was me, you will kill me, its better he won’t know’ she taught to herself that made the king more bit of confused,
Staring at the girl, confused not only she can hear all she taught but also on the taught she thinks
“Who? Said that?”
“My masters, all of them”
“The bandits” he said in hard tones that make the girl flinch
“They are now gone, they shall not ever hurt you again” he smile
“They said wrong, I won’t hurt you so now won’t you tell your name, little one?”
“Ai-Ka” she whispered so softly that Alim had need to lean to hear
“Ai-ka, you are safe here, I ensure you, myself as the king”
He was about to reach again but the girl still flinched from his touch
“So—sor-sorry, I just”
“It’s alright, rest now little one”
The girl nodded and slowly closed her eyes
“I see now, she was really hurt badly” said turning to see ania standing behind him
“Yes, indeed my pharaoh, she was frightened because what was done to her, and if you want the truth and the answer of your entire question, you must gain her trust”
“How!! What can I do? I can’t imagine anyone who could possibly harm such an innocent creature, how I can find out the answer if she is too terrified?”
“It will take time, slowly see her, that you mean no harm, my lord”
“What did they do to make her so afraid, Anai?”
“We--,” close her eyes ad opened again “more than will ever know my king”
She began to leave but stopped “Alim”
“Hmmm...”
“Know, my king, you are his--“stop smile “and her protector now”
With that she walked away leaving a very bewildered and concerned, confused pharaoh behind her, left alone and now he began to resume his silent vigil on the sleeping girl smoothing away the hair, but more worried as he saw that even at sleep the girl whimpered and flinch from his touch
“Little one, what is it, what kind of terror of the past grips even in your sleep? What kind of fate brought us together, and about that birthmark is it really you who I been looking, and if it’s true, you are my, but how?”
