Only One
He sat in his throne. His right hand holding up his head with a bored expression on his face as his eyes lazily surveyed the crowd gathered around him. They were here to celebrate the pharaoh's birthday and also because he was turning 16 it also meant he was to pick a wife of all the prospects chosen for him. He didn't like the idea of marrying a woman he didn't love but his advisor Solomon had argued that he would learn to love her eventually. This is the main reason why he was unhappy during this happy occasion.
He continued to lazily survey the crowd and sighs making his boredom known to his advisor and his priest who had collected the potential brides
"Why are you not excited my king?" Priest Set asked "this is your coming of age party"
"You know full well why" he huffed
"We already discussed this" said Solomon
"Does not mean I approve any more than the last time we spoke of it" he sighs
"You may think this now but later you will thank us" said Set
He stands up and turns to the advisor and the priest glaring at them with his amethyst eyes
"I don't approve of it now and I will never approve of it!" He growls "I am not getting married"
He stormed out of the throne room not caring who looked at him.
He ended up in the palace gardens. He sat at the edge of one of the fish ponds and closed his eyes taking in a deep breathe to calm himself down. The perfumes from all the different flowers filling his lungs.
He heard footsteps approaching. Had they found him already? He watched as the footsteps got closer. From behind the bushes came a boy a head shorter than he was but he had a similar hair style but the boy's hair was violet as well as his eyes.
It was him! That boy he had seen a few months back when he had been invited to the home of his advisor Solomon. The boy was as beautiful now as he was back then. They hadn't been introduced yet
"That was most admirable of you to stand up to them like that" the boy spoke softly
He looked down feeling the heat escape from his cheeks
"Thank you...um..."
"My name is Yugi" he introduced as he sat beside the pharaoh
"Yugi" he smiles as the name rolled of his tongue
His name was as beautiful as the boy it was given to
"You should tell them you don't want to be married" said Yugi
He looks up at Yugi
"I have tried that but Solomon says that I am still young and don't know what I want" he told Yugi
"My grandfather can be difficult like that" sighs Yugi
"But it doesn't feel right to marry someone I don't love" he said as he looked at the ground
"You shouldn't have to" said Yugi looking at him
He turned to Yugi. Finally someone understood how he felt and it was this boy whom he had prayed to every Egyptian god that he would meet again. He had to fight to stop himself from wrapping his arms around the smaller boy
"Thank you" he smiles at Yugi
At that moment Set and Solomon had found them
"Forgive my grandson my king he knows not what he says" apologised Solomon
"Guards take this boy away" commanded Set
Yugi looks at the guards frightened...
(What will happen to them? Well tell me what you think of this and perhaps I will write more at a later time)
