Chapter 8
��
�� It was
inevitable that someone would find out. Yami suspected the boy � children were
so useful as weapons of war and they were always underestimated�
�� Pharaoh was
not pleased, of course. How could he be? He forbade Yami from seeing his friend
except in official capacity and found a foreign princess to marry Yami off to
almost instantly.
�� He�d never
felt more like a puppet than now. Anzu was nothing but a fluff-brained
beautiful girl. He slept with her, true enough, but with no passion and only
enough to impregnate her with his seed.
�� At least
now the lineage of Akunumkanon was safe�
�� Yes, he was
safe� she gave birth to a son, twins, prematurely, but they were healthy
enough, and he considered his duty done.
�� It was not
long after that Akunumkanon was bitten by an asp and died. Pharaoh Atemu became
the new Pharaoh, and Princess Anzu was elevated to new status as the Great
Royal Wife... a pity that she was so lonely, wasn�t it? Enough to entice Priest
Set into her bed�
��
�� Of course,
when they were caught�
�� The
punishment for adultery is quite high.

�� Normally,
the parties would be stoned to death, but since Set was a Elected Priest, he
escaped death, not by much though. There was much debate over the validity of
his claim on the Sennen Rod, and many wished him stripped of his position, but
he kept it, with one difference.
�� The armlets
he wore now contained scrying spells. The moment possible treason crossed his
mind, unimaginable pain shot through his arms.
�� It was a
horrible ordeal, to be sure, but tongues wagged and whispered that the high
priest � not high priest, but elected priest was� treacherous. After all, he
was named after the evil one�
�� What good
could come out of it?

�� Princess
Anzu, well� she was not quite so lucky. Akunumkanon looked upon her actions as
treason and her father was only too happy to allow his daughter�s name erased
form memory. He evidently hadn�t cared for her much at all. From Queen she
became slave, falling from grace, and it was only through Set�s intervention that
she also escaped death.
�� The fact
that she was kept as his slave only made people gossip more, and
wonder...

�� It was
about this time that the Pharaoh Akunumkanon�s health finally gave out, and he
died. He really had no regrets, though he charged his Vizier Shimon to find the
Prince, now Pharaoh, a new Consort, before he died, and begged for one that
would be right for Yami.
�� Shimon
nodded gravely and promised.
�� Mahaado
smirked. He knew what would happen, sooner or later. The old man was weak now.
Even if he had once been the Priest of the Ankh, his power was now sadly
diminished. Shadah wielded the Ankh now.
�� It was so
easy to control him.
�� Mahaado had
only to whisper about the power of the Ring once, and his wish was granted.
Besides, Pharaoh already had twin sons to bring up as heirs, so it was not like
the bloodline would be in trouble�
�� So he gave
his consent.
�� Besides,
without Set and Akunadin to oppose him, no one dared stand before Pharaoh.

�� Karim and
Aishizu were not particularly worried. Shadah might have been, but he was too
busy interviewing prospective others, candidates for the two Millennium Items
whose Holders were dead. No one had yet stepped up to claim the Eye.
�� Pity.
�� Who would
want to lose an Eye though? Shadah had to admit honestly that he was glad the
Ankh had chosen him. It required no loss of body parts�
�� That was
safer.
�� Besides,
the Items were tainted. Even he could feel a slight twinge of unease at the
power he held. It would be so easy to step inside a person�s mind and alter
their very self, and so tempting�
�� Only his
supreme self-control and Karim�s trust in him had kept him from straying off
the right path.
�� Karim�
�� The High
Priest looked hassled. No doubt he was, having to deal with the preparations
for the upcoming nuptials. He wasn�t surprised about the Pharaoh�s choice for
Consort though. It was sadly evident that Priest Mahaado was smitten with him.
It had been for quite some time.
�� The
attraction must work both ways.

�� I�m glad.�
Yami whispered, as they lay entwined together. �I�m glad you came back to me,
Mahaado��
�� Mahaado
nodded sleepily.
�� There was a
sound at the window, and a narrowing of eyes before time stopped. He pushed
himself out of bed and found his way to the open balcony. How original�
�� An Assassin
had been using wings of hollow papyrus and strong linen to fly. Intriguing�
�� With a
shrug, he slit the man�s throat with one of the daggers hidden in his clothing,
not bothering to punish him before the full council. As time restarted, his
body fell onto the stone below with an audible wet thump.
�� Yami
blinked and then beckoned his lover back to bed. Insolent trash.
�� How dare
they try to kill Horus-on-Earth!

�� Mahaado did
not mind as the Pharaoh captured him in another kiss. Things were perfect. They
could deal with the lineage issue later. Anzu had borne twins, and they would
pick one to follow Yami�s rule later. For now, all that mattered was that he
was with his Pharaoh, and his Pharaoh was safe.
�� All was
right in the world, as far as he was concerned.
�� And Yami
agreed.
