A trip that changed a life chapter 15

“[Y-Y/n] its n-not what you think.” Atem says. He then pushes Aziza off of him having her fall on her butt. A light shade of pink spread across your cheeks. Clearing your throat you get back to what your purpose was.
“Atem you have a guest by the name of Prince Niles, he request to see you in the throne room immediately.” Atem’s eyes widen but then soften.
“[Y/n], Prince Niles is the older brother of Masud.” Your eyes widen along with an excited smile. Aziza frowned and puffed her cheeks out, annoyed that she’s not getting any attention.  “He probably has come here to request for our help to find him.” He then leans down and whispers into your ear making you blush slightly. “How about you go get Masud.” Excitedly you bowed and quickly ran off to go find Masud.
“Atem who was that girl?” Atem looked over his shoulder at Aziza.
“She’s my personal servant, and I want you to leave her alone.” Aziza crossed her arms.
“Why she’s just a low life slave, she probably wish you were dead so then she wouldn’t have to serve you anymore.”
“She’s not a slave.” Aziza’s eyes widen at the rise in tone of his voice. “That girl that you all a slave is someone very important to me.”
“Oh then how do you see her?” Aziza narrowed her eyes.
“I think of her as a… as a… as a friend.” With that Atem swiftly made his way down the hall to the throne room, looking toward the ground. “Why… Why did I struggle when I wanted to say that [Y/n] was just a friend?”
~Meanwhile~
You stopped running once you arrived into the garden. Taking a second to catch your breath, you looked around the garden, spotting the 3 kids sitting in a circle. With a smile you decided to sneak up on them.
“Do you guys think she will like our gift our present?” asked Masud.
“Of course she will. It’s a present from us, she will like anything from us.” Said Ebe.
“And what is it that the 3 of you are going to give me?” The 3 kids let out a surprised scream. They then turned around with smiles. Khepri then holds out a crown made of flowers to you.
“Happy Birthday [Y/n]!” They say in unison. You gave them all bear hugs and then placed the colorful crown on top of your head. You then looked down at Masud.
“Masud will you come with me to the throne room please?” Masud tilted his head to the side.
“Why [Y/n]?” You knelt down and placed a finger to your lips.
“It’s a surprise.” With a wink you stood and take Masud’s hand into yours, and made your way to the throne room with Ebe and Khepri in follow.
~Meanwhile~
Atem enters the throne room, smiling at the sight of Prince Niles.
“Niles it’s been a while my friend.” Atem takes Niles hand into his.
“It certainly has.”
“Well why it isn’t Prince Niles.” Niles looked up to see Aziza, he only frowned and looked away.
“Hello Aziza.” Aziza walked  past the 2 males with a smirk and went to go stand next to the throne.
“So what is it that I can do for you?” Niles slowly took in a deep breath.
“There’s a favor that I must ask you.”
“I see, and I’m guessing that this favor is to help look for your little brother Masud.” Atem made his way over to throne and sat down.
“Yes. I wish for help. We have been searching for a while and we still haven’t found any trace of him.” Niles fell to his hands and knees. “Please my Pharaoh I will do anything to have my little brother back or even know that he is safe. So please I beg of you.” Atem chuckled at his friend. Niles looked up in confusion.
“Niles my friend there is no need of you to beg to me I would be happy to help search for you dear brother.” Niles let out a sigh.
“Thank you.”
“But I will not search for him.” Niles eyes widen.
“What…. Why?” There was a knock on the entrance of the throne room.
“Because there is no need to look for you brother for he his here.” Niles eyes widen. “You may enter now [Y/n].” With that the door opened and you walked in and bowed.
“Come on in.” You say sweetly, and in walked Masud. Masud eyes widen. Then entered Abubakar, Luke, Isis, Ebe, and Khepri.
“[Y/n] who is that man?” asked Khepri. You ruffled his short brown hair.
“That is Masud’s older brother.
“Masud?” Niles took a step forward. Tears started to fill Masud’s eyes.
“Big brother.” Masud shuts his eyes making tears fall. “BIG BROTHER!!” He ran to his older brothers arms crying into his shoulder.  Atem smiled from his throne looking over to you seeing your smile, but there was something else. What was it? Was it… sadness?”
~Time skip~
You sat on a lounge chair couch on your balcony looking through the book of realms, deciding to learn more about your abilities and responsibilities as protector of realms.
“[Y/n]?” You look up from the book to see Atem.
“Oh hello Atem.” Closing the book you give him your full attention. Atem sat down next to you and places his hand on top of yours.
“[Y/n] is there something on your mind?” Your eyes widen, but then sighed  and smiled.
“Actually yes, there is.” You turned to him. “Atem can I ask you a favor?”
“Of course what is it?”
“Well there is this boy, his name is Osahar. He lives in the village but he has no family. I have been seeing him for the last few days… a-a-and I was wondering… If I could… bring him to live in the palace.” Atems eyes narrowed a bit.
“[Y/n] if you don’t mind asking, how old is this boy?” You tilt your head to the side.
“He’s 7. Why?” A smile spread across his face.
“Oh no reason.” He cups your cheek with his hand, and rests his forehead onto yours.  Your eyes widen at this action. “Of course.” You let out a breath that you didn’t even know that you were holding, and with a wide smile you placed your hand on top of his.
“I thank you.” Then without even thinking you placed your lips to his, making his eyes widen. But just as the kiss came you pulled away and hugged him. “I will be bringing him to the palace tomorrow.” Atem smiled and pulled away from the hug.
“How about later today we go to the village and bring him back.” Your eyes widen.
“Really?” Atem nodded.  Again you kissed him. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have done so much for me Atem. And with that you ran out of your room. Atem  touches his fingers to his lips. He knows that this wasn’t the first time that the two of you kissed. But for some reason this time it felt different your lips tasted sweet like honey, and addicting taste.
~Time skip~
You now were in the library smiling like a nut while retrieving books and scrolls. You climb up a latter reaching for a curtain book. You stand on the soles of your feet to reach it.
“[Y/n]?”  You finally get your hand on the book but your feet slipped and you were now falling to the floor.  You clutched your eyes shut waiting for the impact. But the only thing that you felt was that you landed on someone, and something didn’t feel right.  You opened your eye and your eyes got bigger at who was underneath you, Prince Niles. But that was not the reason your eyes were as wide as tea cup. Niles eyes widen at the sight of yours and his lips connected to each other’s. Pulling away your face becomes as red as a tomato, and you crawled off of him, placing your hands over your mouth.
“P-p-prince Niles. I-i-i…” Without another word you ran out of the library.
