Chapter 8

�� It would
have been more accurate to say, �Kill them�.
�� The Sennen
Item holders congregated quickly, flew to the border with the aid of their Ka,
and before the horrified eyes of the massing army, linked up in formation and
summoned Exodia.
�� Their
personal Ka beasts could wait until later.
�� The army
was vanquished ever so quickly. After all, the Forbidden One was not named such
for any childish reason.
�� The
invaders had a few mages of their own, of course, but Mahaado stood alert,
apart from the others, dispelling the spells sent their way, though some did
wonder why he had a dragon loaded with jugs and jugs of date wine next to him.
That left only four priests � Shadah, Karim, Aishizu, Akunadin, and the Pharaoh
himself � to hold Exodia in being. Priest Donkor of the Sennen Rod was dead,
and there had been no time to find a successor in the haste of battle.
�� First
things first�

�� The earth
itself shook, and those that were left alive of the Ethiopians were swallowed
beneath quaking slabs of rock and dirt, dust enough to obscure the sky. Only
one man remained, trembling in fear.
�� Yami
beckoned to him. �Tell your �King�, this is what his reward will be shall he
ever oppose Egypt!�
�� The soldier
fled.
�� Yami smiled
at the Priests as Exodia vanished, released from their summon. �Should we wait
for him here, or return to the Palace?�
�� It is not
wise to leave the Palace unguarded.� Akunadin said.
�� Mahaado
nodded, and they summoned monsters to take them home again.

�� After that
incident, several more of their neighboring countries sent dignitaries and
offers of marriage. Yami wasn�t sure if he wanted to applaud their sense of
self-preservation or curse the extra work he had to deal with because of them.
He settled for doing both.
�� Do you see
any you like?�
�� Mahaado
frowned. �I only have eyes for you, my Pharaoh.� He whispered.
�� Yami
replied with a smile, as girls dressed in fine linen and jewelry paraded before
them. Pity. He should at least choose one�
�� But her�

�� She was
quite beautiful, pale white hair, tinged with silver, blue eyes that were as
clear as shining water�
�� High Priest
Set liked her. He was the new Priest of the Sennen Rod, and it surprised no
one. His father, Akunadin, was quite proud of his son. It would be a good
match. Indeed, even now they were chatting quietly, surrounded by attendants.
�� How
interesting�
�� Well, at
least someone in his family was getting married�

�� There was a
commotion as a servant girl dropped a golden box, sending precious jewels
clattering over the floor like a rain of multicolored pebbles. Her master
turned an angry glare upon her. She hastily picked up the pieces, cringing,
expecting punishment.
�� Interesting.
�� Not that
one.� Yami shook his head. True, that girl was incompetent, but one who treated
their servants such�. Didn�t deserve any link to the throne. He took
good care of his monsters.
�� The scribe
nearby scribbled it down rapidly.
�� The man
Yami had addressed pinned him with a furious glare before his brain caught up
with his body and Mahaado stepped in front of the throne, pointers of the Ring
turning to point at the man as black shadows gathered about his form.
�� Akunadin
gave a single nod. Best make another example of them�

�� Temporary
sealing only.� Yami said. �Perhaps a few days in the Shadow Realm will
encourage him to show more respect.�
�� Mahaado
nodded. The man gave a scream as his body toppled over, and in the Magician�s
hands a small doll appeared, with a frozen expression of terror on its face.
Perfect. Akunadin gave a solemn nod of approval.
�� Set
shrugged, then returned to his conversation with Kisara, who blushed prettily
behind her veil.
�� The rest of
the ambassadors exchanged covert looks. Each one knew what the others were
thinking. If only this power were on the side of my kingdom, what power!
�� Pity they
were such transparent fools.

�� Mahaado set
the doll down carefully in front of his Pharaoh with a bow. Yami paid it no
attention, and beckoned the next petitioner forwards.
�� Let�s see,
this country was� oh? The Hittites?
�� They must
have swallowed their pride over their defeat at the hands of his Father� and
they had seen the monsters in action before.
�� Fascinating.
They had a good reason to want an alliance then.
�� He eyed the
two princesses who had been brought. They weren�t exactly ugly girls� but he
still felt no attraction.
�� It would be
difficult to fake pleasure with one of them, but not impossible� and he could
practice first.
�� Now then,
to do a little investigation�

�� The feast
that night was quite lively, with delicacies from every corner of the empire
and its neighboring lands brought to bear. Yami endured it for the most part,
knowing that he had to put on a display.
�� In all
honesty, he felt like a piece of meat at the butcher�s. The girls probably felt
the same. Maybe he could find someone who would be preferable.
�� Mahaado
could keep an eye on them. He caught the mage�s eye and the Priest nodded his
assent. Only the barest flicker of green showed in his eyes.
�� It was
enough.

�� Set sighed
as he and Kisara took a walk through the palace gardens. It was late at night,
the moon glittered wet silver over the Nile, and the scent of blooming jasmine
and honeysuckle filled the air.
�� It was
perfect for a romantic rendezvous.
�� Admittedly,
the Priest had slightly selfish reasons as well. He had caught a glimpse from
Shadah. She had a strong Ka. A beautiful white dragon�
�� Well, if he
were to be married, better to a woman that suited him! And Princess Kisara was
close enough to perfection to please him.
�� Yes, he
almost envied his cousin, but not so much now. For though Yami had the throne,
he doubted that the Pharaoh had happiness.
�� What one
gives up for power can be a high price indeed�

�� They�re
not twins, are they?�
�� No, my Pharaoh.
The elder numbers sixteen years, the younger fourteen.�
�� Hmm.� Yami
nodded. �I would prefer the younger then. An older woman would try to meddle in
my affairs.�
�� No doubt
as they intended.� Mahaado acknowledged. �The younger is more fair of face, but
she is frail. Childbirth may be difficult.�
�� A strange
expression glinted in ruby eyes, and Yami sighed. �I see. You would have me
take them both?�
�� If it were
necessary, my Pharaoh.�
�� And the
other kingdoms? Anything practical?�
�� I�m afraid
not.�
�� Then I
shall convey my apologies.�
�� The
Council will not approve of this.�
�� Ah, the
Council.� Yami shook his head in exasperation. �I will meet with them tomorrow
so we can argue out the strategy.�
�� As you
will, my Pharaoh.�

�� Until
then�� Yami said, with a smile, �You can keep me company tonight.�
�� As you
desire, my Pharaoh.�
�� I desire you.�
With that, the Pharaoh pushed his Priest back onto the bed with a feral grin.
�Now.�
�� There were
no more words spoken.

�� You should
not be here.� Shadah intoned seriously. The Princess from one of the foreign
islands froze, her bracelets clacking.
�� Karim and
Aishizu materialized out of the darkness behind him, lending their support to
his accusation.
�� That is
the Pharaoh�s bedchambers.� Aishizu said calmly. �It is forbidden to enter
without permission.�
�� The
princess blushed bright pink. �I�I got lost.�
�� Karim
coughed, and the Scales in his hands jangled. �You lie.�
�� She wanted
a better chance at the throne?� Shadah�s tone was almost polite, but the
strange golden key around his neck glinted under the starlight.
�� I suppose
so.� Aishizu�s Sennen necklace gave a burst of golden light and she crumpled.
Karim immediately rushed to support her while Shadah kept his gaze pinned on
Princess Diamond.
�� What do
you see?� The priest asked anxiously.
�� Our
Pharaoh� shall never choose you as his Queen, you harpy!� Aishizu screeched,
eyes mad.
�� Karim�s
eyes widened as well. �The Scales show that she is ��
�� Yes.�
Shadah agreed. In a second, the Ankh had twisted her mind open. Set came along,
hearing the commotion, and found that Shadah, Karim, and Aishizu had succeeded
in extract the Princess�s Ka. He merely raised a single eyebrow and found a
tablet to seal it in.
�� No
explanations necessary� after all, the Ankh and Scales didn�t lie�
