For the Love of a Pharaoh

Chapter Two

In the following weeks, Atemu’s life became a whirlwind of activity. First to take place was the preparations and burial of his father, the pharaoh. Then, came his coronation ceremony. This took place in front of the palace where all of the people of Egypt can witness the crowning of the new pharaoh. And to top it all off, the prince that was already betrothed to Atemu arrived. Atemu met his fiancé a few days after he was crowned pharaoh.

The prince was short in stature. He was from a country that was nickname “Land of the Rising Sun.” He had the same hairstyle as Pharaoh Atemu, which was the tri-color with magenta, black, and gold. The only difference was that he had all his golden rod bangs framing his face and did not have any extra streaks that went into the rest of his hair. The prince’s eyes were the brightest amethyst and were round and big with this innocence. He was dressed in a dress-like kilt that ended just above the knee. There was a golden belt with rubies that went around his waist. There was a pair of silk slipper-like shoes on his small dainty feet. He had on his wrists gold bands. Around his neck there was a necklace that mark him as a member of the royal family of Japan. The prince had a pair of ankh earrings in his ears that were an early wedding present from the present Pharaoh’s father. Finally, his head was adored with is crown that disappeared into his hairline. The prince was headed to the chambers that were assigned to him by his fiancé, which was showed to him by a servant. The servant informed the prince that the Pharaoh requested his presence at dinner that evening. The servant also informed the prince that there was already a bath drawn within the bathtub if the prince would like to take a bath before dinner. The prince nodded his head politely to indicate that he had heard the servant and excused himself from their presence. He stepped through the doorway and shut the door behind him. He walked into the room and started to look around. In the middle of the room, there was a large king-size bed that was fit for a king and this bed had four golden obelisks posts around it. On the bed there were crimson colored silk sheets. There were hieroglyphics in a border around the room. Off to one side of the room there was a doorway, which lead into a spacious bathroom that held an in ground golden bathtub. The bathtub was already filled with steaming hot water. The prince decided to take a bath and then get ready for dinner with his fiancé, Pharaoh Atemu.

The prince started to get undress by first removing his jewelry, crown, and belt. Next, he removed his dress-like kilt and his slipper-like shoes. Then, he stepped into the steaming tub. He sighed with pleasure at the feel of the water against his tired and dirty body. He quickly scrubbed himself clean and then washed his hair. He then relaxed in the tub for a few moments to let his tired muscles relax within the hot water. After a while, he stepped out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked back into his room and walked over to the wardrobe that held all his clothes and got ready for dinner. He put on a new beige kilt and a golden belt. Then, he added beige matching slipper-like shoes. He placed his necklace around his neck and his earrings in his ears. Finally, he placed his crown on his head. He stepped out of his room and walked to the dining hall to meet Atemu.
