Nefertari had to take a deep breath before she entered the throne room and walked towards where Atem was standing and Shimon was just behind him she could almost laugh at herself for feeling nervous just like she did when she first came to the palace and set foot inside it's wall's and meet the man she was to marry but how little had she known that real love would happen between them, or that she would be pregnant with his child truth be told she was more nervous about becoming a mother than even being queen after all she never had known her mother though she had Panya so she knew some thing's about being a mother in a way though saying she was't nervous about being queen then she would be lying because after the wedding she would be the queen of Egypt and even though her lessons were done with now it was still something that was't going to be easy but she did have Atem right next to her and that made her feel a bit better she snapped out of her thoughts when he held out his hand to her and she took it and felt her cheeks heat up a little due to the way he was looking at her, also the way he was dressed she could't take her eye's off him most of all due to the cloak he had around his shoulders he had noticed it on the end of the bed and she could't help but smile it suited him and she was glade her liked it and he smiled right back once she was standing in front of him and shimon the whole throne room became quiet.
"we are gathered here to day on this great day to bring these two together in the eye's of the god's themselves and may they bless this union between our great Pharaoh and Nefertari who is more than fitting to rule by his side so that during the darkest time's she will be his strength and that he will be her's, and may their love and laughter spread through out the land of Egypt when the time's are good and may we thank the gods that we our blessed to have them both as our Pharaoh and Queen" Shimon stepped aside as Seto and Mahad stepped forward with with a golden box that contained two golden rings which had hieroglyphics carved into them one was given to Atem the other to her.
"I Atem the Pharaoh of Egypt take thee Nefertari to be my wife and my queen,to share the good times and hard times side by side, I humbly give you my hand and my heart as I pledge my faith and love to you just as this ring I give you today is a circle without end, my love for you is eternal just as it is made of incorruptible substance, my commitment to you will never fail with this ring, I thee wed." he said slipping it onto her finger she did't have to be told what to do though trying to get her voice not to shake while saying it that was the hard part and trying to stop her hand from shaking as well.
"I Nefertari take thee Pharaoh Atem to be my husband and my Pharaoh, to share the good times and hard times side by side, i humbly give you my hand and my heart as i pledge my faith and to you just as this ring i give you today is a circle without end, my love for you is eternal just as it is made of incorruptible substance, my commitment to you will never fail with this ring i thee wed" she said placing the ring on his finger she could feel her whole body shake when she let out the small breath she had been holding while she said all that though she was shocked that she had manged to keep her voice from shaking that was beyond her but she did.
"for those gathered here to day and in the eye's of the gods i am over joyed to say you are now husband and wife" Shimon said.
Neither of them had to be told what to do next and as they kissed as husband and wife the throne room burst into cheer's she could't help but let out a chuckle and he joined her, Mahad told them to follow him out onto the balcony to greet the villagers as husband and wife and for her as their queen she linked arms with Atem as she was still shaking from happiness and nerves all at the same time and she was glade her kept a tight grip while they walked it helped a lot with the nerves also she could feel him shake just a little he was as nervous as she had been but he hid it better than she did, they both had to blink when they stepped out into the sunlight and the cheering was even louder than it had been inside as they cheered for their Pharaoh and their new Queen.
Mahad could't help but smile as he watched his pharaoh and childhood friend look this happy and Nefertari looked even more happy than he was also they had a child on the way, but his smile faded a little when recalled what Isis had told him before the wedding began about her vision though it had't been that clear to her but it was during the celebration that it would happen that's why there were even more guards outside the palace and on in the inside it worried him though that she had't seen who the attacker or attackers were though he could guess very well who they were since Bakura and Marik had gotten in the palace before it appeared to be easy for them to do so again but they would ready this time, though it would be risky for them to try and do anything with so meany guards around but who really knew what those two were thinking at all he manged to snap out of his thoughts when they walked back to him and lead them back inside and to their throne's where shimon was waiting for them Shada was standing next to Nefertari's throne with a crown in his hands it had the a red stone at the center of the eye of horus and had two snakes facing away from each other just above it he could help but think that it would suit her very nicely he quickly joined Isis and the other's.
"with this you are now Queen of Egypt second only to Pharaoh himself" Shada said.
It was after that the celebration started and meany came up to the thrones and spoke with them it was after the last noble who they traded with left that she lent back against her throne her nerves had started to take their toll on her but she also could't help but look at the ring on her left hand now, she heard Atem chuckle and he told her what was written on them (love that's eternal) also she never knew just how heavy Atem's crown was and her's was't light he chuckled and told her she would get used to it very quickly she chuckled back and enjoyed the music playing and watching people dance she spotted Mana enjoying herself she came over to them and brought some food with her for them to share she sat by the thrones so she could talk to them though Shada soon had her by the back of her dress and moved her away she pouted which made them both chuckle just a little they soon left their thrones and joined those who had come to celebrate to day with them meany asked her about the baby and she was happy to answer their questions though some how during it all she lost sight of atem and the Isis and the other's and she was't sure why but she was fearful but she manged to keep herself together thinking if she headed back to the thrones she would be able to see atem and the other's and it was just as she started to move back that way that's when she froze she heard Isis call out above the noise and she glanced over her shoulder just in time to see someone wearing a black hooded cloak move right for her and she just caught sight of the knife in the persons hand.
"Mahad!" she screamed as he appeared in front of her and instead of the knife going into her it went into him she watched in horror as the knife was twisted and then pulled sharply back out and his body crumple as guards came rushing forward and tackled the cloaked person to the ground and drag them away to the dungeons.
She knelt on the ground and rested his head on her lap it was all she could think to do she did't have to be a healer to know that the wound was bad the blood that was staining his clothes was enough to tell her that also his colour had faded and he was having a hard time keeping his eye's open she told him that he would be alright but a part of her did't believe what she was saying everyone was muttering or panicked and she found it hard to keep tears back, even more so when Atem appeared he went to his knee's at his friends side that's when Mahad manged to open his eye's to look at his pharaoh and his friend.
"p-pharoh...Nefertari...she" he tried to say.
"you saved her life Mahad.. thank you my friend" he said unable to keep tears from falling.
"my..duty..." he manged to get out.
"please Mahad save your strength" he said but mahad started to cough blood up as Isis and the other's manged to make it through the crowed around them.
Shada placed a hand on her shoulder so he could take her place she nodded and manged to move carefully as not to cause Mahad anymore pain than he was in and go to Isis who had all but broken down, and all she could think to do was wrap and arm around her as she sobbed her heart out for the man she loved it broke her heart, she watched as Atem lent closer to Mahad as it got harder and harder for him to say anything and he could hardly keep his eye's open Atem's eye's went wide and he looked at Isis who had all but buried her face in her hands as Nefertari tried to comfort her then looked back at him.
"i swear i will my friend" he said his voice shook when he spoke.
"thank..you...my Pharaoh m-my friend..." Mahad said his breathing soon slowed and his eye's became lifeless Shada covered his eye's closing them for him.
Isis looked at Mahad from Nefertari's shoulder and understood why she had't been able to see who had been the one attacked in her vision it had been because she had covered her eye's as Mahad laid dying on the ground it was't in till she got a flash of the vision of the attack about to stab Nefertari that she had cried out to Mahad also the Pharaoh had heard her as well and for a moment she thought the vision meant that the pharaoh was the one bleeding but she had been wrong Mahad had changed the vision and it came with the cost of his life to do so.
