Chapter Fourteen

Everyone greeted them when they walked into the throne room arm in arm and meany people said how happy they were to see her up and around it was't in till Seto stepped aside that she noticed how much the throne room had changed a little since the first time she arrived at the palace and by that she meant the new throne that was next to Atem's, even though she was't queen yet they could't have her standing the whole time even more so now that she was with child she blushed as Atem helped her to sit and he soon took his place right next to her that's when three people stepped forward from the crowed she had't noticed them when they came in but she guessed these were the guests Atem told her about the women holding onto her husband from the way they were holding onto one an other she was older but still was very pretty her long brown hair traveled just past her shoulders and the pale gray eye's she had made her standout even more she wore a deep red dress that was had golden leaf like pattern running the length of the dress also the husband stood out himself again he was older she could tell by the gray hair and slight beard he had also his blue eye's showed it as well he was dressed in fine robes of gold and gray they both bowed to them that's when she spotted the younger women with them who seemed to be glaring at her though she thought she was the only one to notice this, though the young women did look very much like her mother with the same brown hair but it was much shorter and sat above her shoulders though she had her fathers blue eye's though and the look she was giving her it was a look of someone who always got their way or what they wanted and she did't have to guess very hard what she was after also the way she was dressed, well the pink dress she was wearing was very open some of the other maidens dressed this way and sometimes had that same look so she was't unnerved by it.

"Pharaoh I am Apa and this is my Kana and my daughter Anzu we are glade to meet you at long last though i wish it was under happier reasons as to why we are here to day" he said.

"as do we but we are happy that your trip here was a safe one"Atem said.

"and if i may say that your future queen is just as lovely as we have heard" Kana said.

"that she is" Atem said turning to her with a smile that made her blush again " also you and your daughter are lovely as well" he said turning back to them.

"why thank you Pharaoh" Anzu said stepping forward so she was next to her parents and she bowed.

It was't long after all the greetings were done and they got down to why they were and the danger that Bakura and Marik were to everyone, Nefertari stay quiet learning from Atem first hand she had never seen him like this and she was very much impressed, at how he handled every question that was thrown at him or the help he offered to the people had been effected by the attack and he would do everything in his power to stop Bakura and Marik which they were very thankful to him also they offered help as well which in turn made him great full for their help as well after everything was said and done he invited them to dinner as well and to stay for the celebrations the following day, which they were more than happy to do though it was during dinner that she found she could't stand their daughter even though she was sitting right next to Atem it did't stop Anzu from draping herself all over him, no matter how meany time's he pulled away from her or tried to ignore what she was doing a few times he glanced her way and he must of seen that it was making her angry and the biggest clue was when she got up and left the table since she was't that hungry which was't a lie she did eat all that fruit earlier and instead of heading back to their room she headed for the stables to Amaunet and Aten since they had't been able to go ridding due to Bakura and Marik they had to have people lead them around the courtyard a few times a day, but she just wanted to see them both and get away as far as she could from Anzu though she did smile when they both seemed happy to see her she walked up to each of them and petted them.

"hello Amaunet you to Aten had enough being locked up in here" she said they kicked the wooden door she guessed that meant yes "i know how you feel at least for Amaunet you don't have some other female horse draping herself over your man right" she chuckled as Aten nuzzled Amaunet it was sweet to see " now i know where Atem learnt that move from" she chuckled again she moved away and found some apples that had been left in a bucket and she went back to them one for each of them.

"so this is where you went the Pharaoh was worried when you got up and left" Seto said from the door way making her jump a little.

"well you can tell him i'm fine" Nefertari said her back to him again.

"you don't seem fine Nefertari" Seto said.

"well how else am i meant to be when their daughter drapes themselves all over him just sit there and let it happen and i don't care if they are guests and they came here for help after what Bakura and Marik did they.. should show some control over their daughter" she more or less snarled at Seto.

"yes that was hard to miss her doing that though you should take some comfort that he did't seem to be enjoying it Nefertari also did you happen to see the look on her face when he invited them to celebration for the child your carrying" Seto said standing at her side now.

"no i did't...but that wont stop someone like her trust me i'v meet her type before Seto and they all but get what they want.." she said.

"not this time the Pharaoh loves you Nefertari he shared his bed with you also placed a child inside you also your to be his queen and i can't think of anyone more fit to be by his side and i highly doubt that he wants anyone else but you by his side" Seto said.

"but.." she said.

"but nothing Nefertari he is yours as you are his and if Anzu does't get that then make her understand" Seto said with a grin she noticed when he looked at her.

" you mean make her jealous" she said with a raised eyebrow.

"in a way yes so she knows that she can't have what is yours but don't go to far i don't think anyone of us wants to see what you two get up to behind close door's" he said with an other grin.

"like i would do that..though i have an idea to get my point across" she said which made Seto raise an eyebrow his eye's may of seemed cold to her when she meet him but she could see behind that he was a good man and she was glade.

She said goodbye to Amaunet and Aten and walked back with Seto to the throne room though he did ask her a few times what she had in mind to "get her point across" but all she would do was smile and tell him he would have to wait for a moment, they were soon back at the throne room and she had to bite her tongue when she saw that Anzu was still draping herself over him and she could see that he was starting to get a little angry that she would't stop but she did't seem to care or that her mother told her to behave herself along with her father, Seto had joined Mahad and the other's at this point which left her to walk up to where Atem was alone and he finally manged to free himself from Anzu and held her in his arms asking if she was alright she told him all she needed was some air and she was starting to feel a little tired and she would retire to get some rest he nodded understanding and was about at ask the guards to take her back to their room but before they could she would't be going without a goodnight kiss which he did't say no to and she almost smirked into the kiss when he heard people mutter even Anzu's parents joined in on that and once the kiss was broken (again air was needed!) and as she headed for where the guards stood waiting for her she caught the sight of Anzu and the look on her face was worth it because if that did't make thing's clear to her then nothing would.
