Long ago in the times of the ancient Egyptians.......
The ceremony was held in the throne room, two foreign women were to wed the Pharaoh and his brother.
Both women didn't look a day over eighteen, one had long dark red hair and the other had long light golden brown hair.
They were both very beautiful young women, they would make suitable wives, they would bear many children for the King and the Prince.
After the ceremony the women were taken away to their chambers, they were to live in the palace and await when their husband's would come to bed them.
Time had passed, it had been at least two years since they had last seen their husbands, they had been given duties to attend to in the palace, Amber who was Prince Quatre's wife ran the palace and Haruka, King Heero's wife took care of all the palace animals.
One Year Ago....
"Ahhh, don't run from me Haruka....its all right my dear, I'll give you what our King won't," The head soldier said, gaining of Haruka has he removed his clothing, she was cornered in a room.
She hit the wall and started to cry.
"Please don't..." She pleaded.
The Soldier named Trowa smirked at her evilly, "sorry, but I always get what I want," He said and grabbed her roughly, ripping her clothing and slapping her hard.
She screamed as he entered her, taking her to his liking.
"....You're so sexy, I don't think our King has looked at you right...your a nice tight piece of flesh I'd love to sink my teeth into over and over again," He said as he harshly pumped into her, while she cried and refused to look at him.
"Look at me, my Queen," He sneered, grabbing her face making her look at him. "I love those big green eyes of yours," He said and kissed her hungrily.
Amber was walking back to her quarters when she was grabbed by someone and led into a dark room.
" Unhand me at once," Amber screamed.
She only received a slap in the face that knocked her down to the floor.
" Shut up woman, now take off your clothes and do as I say and you won't get hurt," the man said.
Amber didn't know what to do, quietly she felt the walls in search for the door that lead to the secret passage, opening the wall she slid threw it and closed it tight as she ran for it.
When she stopped the took the door that lead to the throne room, "my lady what brings you here at this hour," asked Duo who was a guard in the palace.
"Just taking a walk, will you escort me back to my quarters please," Amber asked wiping her bloody lip.
" Of course my lady," Duo said as they walked back to her quarters.
" Thank you, will you please look for her majesty, alert me if there is any trouble," Amber said saying goodnight to Duo.
" Of course, goodnight your highness," Duo said leaving.
A year later.....
"Heero, have you forgotten that we're married," Quatre asked stacking papyrus.
"I did until you just told me," Heero said in his deep monotone.
" The Queen won't leave her room without Duo one of the palace guards by her side," Quatre said.
Heero looked at his and rose and eye brow, "send for him," He ordered.
Quatre told the guards outside the door to summon Duo right away.
"The King wants to see me?" Duo asked the guard that summoned him. "Oh man," Duo said and hurried to the throne room.
Minutes later Duo arrived entering the room then getting down on one knee, " you summoned me your majesty," Duo asked. "Yes, why is it my wife, your Queen, refuses to leave her quarters without you?" King Heero asked.
" That is true, but I do not know the answer to your question, perhaps her highness might she and the Queen are very close friends," Duo said.
"I see, I will trust your word Soldier, but if you are lying to me I will hang you, summon the Princess now!" The King ordered in an angry tone.
" Why does the King want to see me," Amber asked Duo.
" Its about the Queen, you shouldn't keep him waiting he's really angry," Duo said.
" All right, take me to him," Amber said.
"You summoned me your majesty," Amber said bowing to the King.
"Princess, I am told you and my wife are friends," The King started as he paced on top of the stairs.
" That is true, she and I are more like sisters, why do you ask," Amber asked.
The King narrowed his blue eyes at her.
"Why does she refuses to leave her room without, this particular guard?" He asked.
" I do not know your majesty, I have asked her many times yet she only cries, I believe Duo is a trustworthy guard, he has protected the Queen and myself for over two years," Amber said.
"From?" The King demanded.
The guard Treize was standing behind the King looking the Princess directly in the eye mouthing I will kill you if she told the truth.
" Thieves in the palace, you know how they get in and steal things at night," Amber said hoping he'd believe her.
"Right, leave," The King said, waving her off with his hand.
" I'm sorry I couldn't be more help your majesty," Amber said bowing as she left.
-----------
" Haruka, the King summoned me today, word has gotten out that you won't leave your quarters without Duo escorting you, please tell me what happened to make you so afraid to leave your own room," Amber asked.
"The guards..." Haruka started, she started, looking at Amber, obviously afraid.
" They hurt you didn't they," Amber said as tears sprang to her eyes.
Haruka nodded. "Two of them....raped me.....and beat me..." Haruka stated as silent tears slid down her cheeks.
" They attacked me too, a little over a year ago but I got away before they could rape me," Amber said.
" How can I be worthy as a wife to the King, I feel so dirty and unclean," Haruka said.
" He will understand, it wasn't your fault they did this to us, we must tell the King and the Prince right away they will be executed," Amber said.
No, I don't want the King to know, please...promise me," Haruka said.
" I promise Haruka, I won't tell but you must come out of your room if we stay together we will be safe, the King is starting to get suspicious," Amber said.
A knock sounded at the door.
" Who is it," Amber asked wiping her eyes.
"Its me Duo."
" You may enter," Amber said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but the King and Prince are have a party this evening and are requesting your presence," Duo said.
" Do you want to attend Haruka," Amber asked.
Haruka didn't answer her. "Amber, you saw my husband, is he handsome?" She asked, turning towards her.
" Yes, he is," Amber said.
"I will go then, only to see him....Duo? don't leave my sight, please," She said.
" Yes, your majesty," Duo said bowing then leaving the room.
" Are you sure Haruka, if you don't want to go then I won't as well," Amber said.
"I want to go, only to see him...." Haruka said longingly. "Amber do you know how long I've wanted him to come to me? Or let me come to him? How I've wanted to sleep soundly in his arms and yet I've no memory of him," Haruka said.
" Then we shall go your majesty," Amber said bowing.
---------
"Tell me again, why I have to sit here and watch these idiots try to entertain me?" Heero asked his brother Quatre.
"I don't know your majesty," Quatre said.
"Stop calling me that..." Heero growled, only making Quatre smile at him.
" I hear you spoke to my wife today, is she beautiful," Quatre asked.
" She is a very spirited woman, she's very beautiful Quatre," Heero said.
"I'm scared Amber....his name is Heero right?" Haruka asked as she walked with Amber with Duo behind them.
Haruka nodded.
" I see him Haruka, he's the one sitting in that fancy chair, I guess the man sitting beside him is my husband Prince Quatre," Amber said.
There were two empty seats beside the Pharaoh and the Prince, they were reserved for the Queen and the Princess.
"Wow, they are very handsome...My husband looks bored," Haruka said almost laughing.
Heero sat slouched back with his chin resting on his knuckle, leaning on the arm of the chair.
" I don't think he likes the entertainment that is performing," Amber said.
Amber wore a white linen dress, wearing a light amount of makeup and turquoise jewelry, she wore a black wig that went to her shoulders.
Two belly dancers were dancing, the King seemed uninterested.
" Are you ready to go in Haruka," Amber asked.
"I think so," Haruka said.
" You have to walk in first, but I'll be right behind you," Amber said.
Haruka nodded and walked in, she wore a beautiful white linen dress with a gold necklace and bracelets on her arms and ankles, she had on a long black wig that flowed down her back, she had a light amount of make up on and a thin gold band on her head that was her symbol of royalty.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw the Queen of upper and lower Egypt walk in along with the Princess, this was the first time for every one of the court to meet them.
Heero quickly rose to his feet along with Quatre.
"Your majesty, your highness," Amber said bowing.
Haruka did the same without a word.
" Please sit my lady," Quatre said helping Amber to her chair.
Heero walked down the steps slowly, not looking away from Haruka's green eyes.
He took her hand a kissed it gently, still looking into her eyes, Haruka blushed.
Without a word he helped her to her throne.
" Tell me Quatre, did you forget that you had a wife," Amber whispered in his ear.
"How could I?" He said, looking her over blushing.
" Its been over two years, what were you waiting so long, for me to die," Amber asked.
Quatre looked away, "no, I was only following my brother," He said.
" Where to may I ask," Amber said.
Quatre only smiled nervously.
" Before you bed me, I'd like for us to get to know one another," Amber said.
"Yes, I agree," He said.
" Good, I would advise his majesty to take it slow with the Queen as well, she is quite young and fragile," Amber said.
Heero and Haruka had stayed quiet, he held on to her hand, kissing it absently.
Haruka's hand tightened as she caught glimpses of Trowa and Zechs, the two guars she feared.
Heero looked at her and smiled, she blushed and looked down, but still looking at him.
" Quatre, may we leave I am tired from the long day," Amber said spotting Treize.
"Oh, of course, but when may I you again, could I see you tomorrow morning," He asked.
" You may join me in my room, we can talk for a while if you like," Amber said smiling.
"Yes, I'd like that," He said following her.
Heero watched them go and turned to Haruka. "Are you tired my Queen?"
"Yes," She said shyly.
"Would you mind staying with me tonight?" He asked, rising.
Haruka agreed and followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You did not answer my question I asked earlier your highness, I asked where you followed your brother to and you never answered," Amber said as they walked down the palace hall.
"Oh I thought you were joking," Quatre said.
" After two years I assumed you had found another wife, it isn't uncommon for a Prince to have more than one wife, it has been a very rough two years learning the ways of your people with no guidance," Amber said.
"I apologize, but we had a hard time of our own, which I don't fell up to discussing at the moment," He said.
" I am your wife, you may tell me anything and I will help anyway that I can," Amber said.
"I know, but right now I want to enjoy my company and not worry about unnecessary things when I'm with you," He said, opening a door.
" Would you care for something to eat your highness, I can have the maids bring us something," Amber said sitting on a cushion.
"No, just sit with me," He said, sitting himself in large cushions.
" Your highness, would it be wrong of me if I asked to have a certain guard removed from the palace," Amber asked.
"Oh? why? and whom?" He asked.
" The guard called Treize, I don't think he should be trusted," Amber said.
"Oh? and what are your reasons to think so?" He asked suspiciously.
" I believe he is a threat to the royal family, I've heard rumors of him assaulting women in the palace," Amber said trying to keep her shaking hands still.
"I'll look into it but I can't promise anything, now if you don't mind I really would like to enjoy you, this is what I ask of you, to make me forget problems, to my understanding from my father, as my wife you're to make me forget things and to make me happy by amusing me, all I ask is joy and comfort, am I asking to much?" He asked.
" Of course not your highness, please forgive me for being out of line," Amber said.
"No, I like you speak your mind, I do, I just wish to be happy," He said sincerely.
" How can I make you happy, Quatre," Amber asked.
"Just sit here with me?" He asked, sweetly.
" Of course," Amber said sitting next to him and laying her head down in his lap.
-----------
Heero laid her down on his bed and kissed at her hungrily.
For the first time Haruka responded to a kiss.
She couldn't believe how handsome her husband, the King, was.
He was tender with her and careful, he was going slow, but she was scared anyway.
He looked down at her now.
"We don't have to do this if you don't want, if your not ready," He said, his blue eyes shining into her green ones, Haruka smiled, he smiled back.
He didn't seem to mind that she didn't say much, which was fine with her, he nodded and he kept going.
She looked at his now nude body over her as he kissed at her neck, he was beautifully sculpted, taunt muscles with tan skin.
He entered her and froze. Haruka looked at up him, his expression dark, almost furious. He looked down at her now as tears surfaced her eyes.
"You're not a virgin," He growled removing himself from her quickly, as if discussed.
"Get out," He ordered, covering himself with a sheet.
Haruka cried as she dressed and quickly left, not being able to remove his face of disgust in her mind and ran to her room.
----------
There was a knock at Quatre's door.
" Enter," Quatre said who had the sleeping Princess on his lap.
Heero walked in, seeing Amber asleep. "Make her leave, now!" He yelled.
" I'll take her to my bedroom," Quatre said picking his sleeping wife up and carrying her to his bedroom.
Heero paced the room angrily.
" What has angered you so much Heero, I've never seen you like this," Quatre said sitting back down.
"She's not a virgin!" He yelled.
" Did you ask her why," Quatre asked.
"No, I'm to furious, I think its that guard...Duo...." Heero growled. "I'll hang him," He said, walking out of the room, leaving Quatre speechless.
" No, you can't let him do that Quatre, he's the only one that protects us from," Amber said covering her mouth.
Looking at her he saw tears come to her eyes as she turned around and ran out of the room.
" Haruka, you've got to tell the King the truth, or he's going to execute Duo at dawn," Amber said as she cried.
"He doesn't want to see me, he hates me....Amber you should've seen his eyes...those beautiful blue eyes full of disgust and anger....at me," Haruka cried.
"I don't want Duo to die, but..." Haruka couldn't finish.
" Please Haruka, I beg of you to tell the truth, its wrong to let an innocent man die," Amber cried.
Haruka nodded.
------------
She knocked at his door, terrified to his eyes.....terrified he would turn her away.
" You may enter your majesty," the guard said.
Haruka walked inside the King chambers and looked around she couldn't see him until he was practically in her face.
"What do you want?" He demanded tightly.
Haruka tried her best not to let her tears fall.
"Please don't kill Duo...." She started in a tiny voice.
He arched a brow at her. "Oh? and why not? is he your lover?" He asked full of venom.
She shook her head. "No...he hasn't done anything," She said.
The blue eyes she loved so narrowed at her. "Then tell me why..." He started and slammed her against the door opening her legs and placing a hand between them. "Why aren't you a virgin?" He demanded.
This man scared her, he wasn't the man who had started to make love to her earlier that day.
"The guards...they....they..." She could voice her words, she had a knot in her throat and to many tears clouding her vision.
"They raped you?" Heero asked, seeing her fear, her shame and something else he couldn't place.
He back away from her as she slid down the wall.
"And Duo?" He asked.
"He didn't know anything....but he was the only one to never try anything...I trust him," She said in a tiny voice.
Heero nodded and looked away from her then back at her. He went to her and held her closely.
"I'm sorry,"He whispered, kissing her temple as she cried.
---------
Walking slowly down the halls of the palace, Amber reached her quarters, once she was inside safely she started to undress. Taking off her wig as her light brown hair flowed down her back, she started to remove her jewelry when she heard movement in the room, when she turned around she saw none other than her husband.
" Why did you get so upset when the King ordered Duo's execution," Quatre asked coming out from the shadows.
" I'm sorry but I can't answer that," Amber said.
" Is he your lover, is that the reason why you and the Queen keep him so close," Quatre asked coldly.
" How could you ask me such a question, I am your wife, I should be the one asking how many women you've bedded since the day we were married," Amber snapped.
"None, at least I answer your questions," He said and left the room, leaving her frustrated with him.
" He's so stupid, Haruka and I are in grave danger now that we're unprotected," Amber said sadly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Quatre, I need to speak to you," Heero said, walking over to the courtyard.
" Of course your majesty," Quatre said.
"She told me guards raped her," Heero said firmly, standing next to Quatre, looking straight ahead.
" Do you believe her," Quatre asked wondering if the same happened to his wife.
"I don't know...I want to, I'll watch her and I want to speak to this Duo," Heero said.
" Of course, after you left my quarters the Princess said something before she ran out of the room in tears," Quatre said.
Heero looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
" She said, no, you can't let him do that Quatre, he's the only one that protects us from, and then she ran out of the room, I spoke to her again and she wouldn't tell me anything," Quatre said.
Heero frowned and looked ahead again, clenching his jaw.
" I believe she knows something, I believe she knows what happened to the Queen but she is afraid to tell," Quatre said.
Heero nodded, "What should I do," He said, more to himself then the Prince.
" I don't know the Queen well, but I believe her, no woman would ever lie about being raped, you should order my wife to stay with her until this problem is resolved," Quatre said.
Heero looked at him, "No, she'll stay with you, she'll be safe that way, as for my wife I'll keep an eye on her myself," He said and walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haruka sat out in the balcony of Heero chambers. He had demanded she stayed with him after she had told him.
He would touch her though, which pained her, he went to her for comfort, she knew he was disgusted with her, even if he didn't voice it his eyes showed it.
She turned around, tears still lightly wet on her cheeks, she walked towards the baths as she walked inside, Heero's handmaid, Relena, sat.
" My Queen, the King wishes to not be disturbed," Relena said.
"I just want to sit next to him," Haruka said.
" You will only anger him if you disturb him my Queen," Relena said.
Haruka looked down, trying not to cry, she felt so pathetic crying at everything, but she couldn't help it. She turned to walked out.
"Relena! who are you talking to!" The King yelled.
" One of the servants your majesty," Relena said going back to bathing Heero.
"Heero?" A shy voice asked.
Heero turned in the tub, seeing Haruka standing there watching him only to blush and look away.
He looked at Relena angrily, "Is this whom you were talking to?" He demanded.
" Yes, forgive me your majesty, I was only following your orders," Relena said.
"When it comes to my wife you will show respect you imbecile, don't you ever refer to her as a servant," He growled. "Get out!"
Relena bowed and left the baths.
Heero looked at Haruka. She looked small and fragile. "What is it?" He asked softly.
Her eyes looked up at him. "I...could I..." She stammered.
"Wash me?" He finished for her. She nodded looking down. "Yes," He said moving around in the tub so his back was to her.
Haruka kneeled behind him on the tile and grabbed the cloth, she started with his back, softly, and massaging at the same time. Heero closed his eyes and sighed contentedly as she proceeded to cleaning his shoulders and slowly building courage to washing his chest.
In the shadows Relena watched as she saw the Queen wash her King, ' I'll take care of you my Queen and then your King will be mine,' Relena thought evilly.
As Haruka washed him carefully, Heero watched her face, her eyes showed actually joy yet mainly nervousness.
She washed at his flat muscled stomach and Heero grabbed her arm, Haruka looked up at him quickly.
He looked at her in the eyes and kissed her, she dropped the cloth and kissed him back, In one swift move he had her on his lap in the pool.
She looked at him breathless as he kissed at her lips, neck and shoulders.
In seconds he had removed her clothes and was kissing her hungrily.
Her hair floated to the surface, giving her a glowing silk look, Heero growled and picked her up sitting her on him.
"I want you Haruka," He said, kissing and biting lightly at her neck.
"Yes," She gasped as he slid inside her, making her moan and she held on tightly to his shoulders as he started a slow, gently rhythm.
Their lips stayed connected, both enjoying each other fully.
' I will kill you, when you're dead I will be Queen of Egypt and Heero will be mine,' Relena thought as she watched the King and Queen make love.
~~~~~~~~~~
"After two years of wondering where the hell you were, you've finally taken an interest in me, tell me how many women have you bedded since our wedding day one, ten, a hundred," Amber snapped.
"I told you already! None!" Quatre yelled.
" Why, there are millions of women who would love for you so lay with them and you didn't why," Amber asked.
"Because I'm married to you to you!" He said, grabbing her face and kissing her passionately.
Quatre picked her up and laid her down on the bed as their kisses became deeper.
" Please stop, I'm not ready your highness," Amber said breathing hard from their kiss.
Quatre looked away, "I'm sorry..." He said and left the room. Amber watched him go, touch her fingers to her kiss swollen lips, his kiss.
" Please don't leave, we'll never grow to love one another if you always run away," Amber said sadly.
"Amber what do you want from me? Tell me right now," He demanded walking back towards her.
" I want you to protect me, I want you to love me, I know what happened to the Queen, because it almost happened to me too," Amber said as she started to cry.
Quatre walked to her and gently held her by her shoulders, "What Amber? What happen and almost did?" He asked.
" A year ago I was attacked, I was walking back to my quarters when I was grabbed and dragged into a room, I told him to let me go and he hit me, and then he said to take off my clothes and I wouldn't get hurt, but I escaped threw the passageway, and I ran to the throne room and Duo took me back to my quarters, please don't let the King kill him he's innocent," Amber pleaded.
Quatre nodded,"And is that what happen to the Queen?" He asked.
" I wasn't raped, I got away before he could rape me," Amber said.
"Treize?" He asked.
" Yes, it was him, Haruka wouldn't tell me who raped her, now that you know he'll kill me," Amber said.
"No, no he won't, just please, stop worrying about it and let me take care of it, promise me from this second you will not think or worry about it," He demanded.
" I promise, please stay with me your highness, I need you," Amber said hugging him tightly.
Quatre hugged her tightly.
---------
" What do you wish us to do, the Queen and the Princess are now sharing a bed with their husbands," Relena whined.
"Keep watch on them, see if there's a routine, if they like to go pick flowers anything, just keep an eye on them," Zechs ordered.
"Ah, our Queen, how I miss fucking her every night," Trowa said sarcastically.
" Yes, we will do as you command," Dorothy said.
" There might be a way we could kidnap the Queen, if we got her over the borders she would be yours for the taking Trowa," Relena said.
Trowa smirked.
"Yes, I'd like another piece of our Queen as well," Zechs said, smiling at Trowa.
" What about the Princess, she is standing in the way of the Prince being mine," Dorothy said stomping her foot.
"You can take care of her, but wait till I say, watch them for now, for a routine or anything of the sort," Zechs said.
They all nodded.
-----------
" Your Majesty, I have news to report regarding the Queen and the Princess," Quatre said.
" Tell me what you've learned," Heero said.
" My wife told me that she was attacked, the one who attacked her was one of the palace guards, the one called Treize," Quatre said.
"I see," Heero said.
He was clad only in a sheet, his body slick from light sweat of the night and recent love making but moments ago.
"Did she name my wife's attackers?" He asked.
"She told me that the Queen was raped, but she didn't know by whom, what do you mean attackers," Quatre said.
"She said they, I believe there was at least two, we'll keep and eye on them, now excuse me, I left her alone in my bed to long," Heero said turning facing Quatre.
"Goodnight your majesty," Quatre said bowing then leaving.
Heero walked back inside from the balcony, the light wind blowing the see threw curtains as he walked into the room, seeing Haruka sound asleep in his bed, smiling Heero laid down, stroking her long red hair as she slept.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your Highness, what does the King think of the traitors inside these palace walls," Amber asked brushing her long hair.
" The King needs more proof, when he gets it they will be dealt with," Quatre said.
" The King is an idiot," Amber said.
"Excuse me?" He said.
" The King is an idiot, I don't think you need to be told twice, until he has an heir both of them are in danger, there is a plot to overthrow him even as we speak, Haruka has named her attackers and so have I why are you allowing them to be free," Amber said.
" How do you know this," Quatre asked.
" Do I look that dumb your highness, my father had me well educated because he thought I was to be High Queen and didn't want his daughter to bring shame on her family," Amber said.
Quatre looked at her as if she had grown another head.
" You should take another wife, how about you let me choose her one that will not match you in intelligence," Amber said.
Quatre had enough, his hand came across her slim face, smacking her hard. "I had enough!" He yelled as she fell to the floor. "I will not listen to this," He turned and stormed out.
Holding her face Amber got up slowly, in explosion of anger she shattered the mirror with her bare hands, screaming loudly breaking anything she could get her hands on.
Everyone in that wing of the palace was awakened by the screams of Egypt's Princess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was up early the next day, there was to be a party that evening.
" Heero why are we having another party, we just had one three days ago," Quatre said in an annoyed tone.
"I feel like celebrating" Heero told him
"I'm glad things are going well between you and Haruka," Quatre said.
"So am I, how are you and your wife?" Heero asked, as he was getting dressed into his favorite robe.
" Things aren't going well between us, I struck her last night and left her in my room," Quatre said sadly.
Heero turned to him with a stern look. "And why are you here instead of speaking with her? What will that accomplish?" He turned towards Quatre and started to walk towards him. "Do not show up tonight if she is not with you, go seek her and fix your marriage" He told him.
" Don't count on us being there tonight Heero," Quatre said turning around and leaving the room.
Heero only glared at his exit.
Hearing no response when he knocked on his door Quatre walked in and found his quarters destroyed.
Mirrors were broken vases shattered drapes ripped apart, then he saw her lying on the floor in a small pool of her own blood.
Checking her pulse it was steady, he picked her up and carried her to another room and laid her down on the bed.
" Send for a healer now," Quatre told a guard then he went back to his wife.
Looking her over he saw she had many cuts on her arms and a bruise on her left cheek.
" I'm so sorry Amber, please forgive me," Quatre said stroking her hair.
" You're highness the healer is here," the guard said.
"I'm disgusted with you two," They heard the king say as he walked in.
" Why are you here," Quatre asked frowning slightly.
"Because this is disgusting" Heero told him and turned away.
"You better fix your life Quatre, look at your position, who you are and what you and her represent," And he left.
" Heero wait," Quatre said.
" I am the last person my wife wants to see when she awakes, I think it would be best if the Queen is here I really don't know what happened to her I found her on the floor laying in her blood," Quatre said.
"Fine, I'll send for Haruka" Heero said a left.
" Forgive me brother, I'm a failure to you," whispered Quatre sadly.
---------
" Where am I," Amber said softly as she tried to sit up.
"Your in the healing quaters" Haruka told him softly.
" So you know what happened then," Amber said.
"I just don't understand," Haruka said looking out of the large window.
" I didn't try to kill myself, Quatre hit me and I got very upset and I broke everything in his room," Amber said softly.
"Still, i don't understand you" Haruka said again and turned towards her. "You always want to make things harder, its like you don't want to be happy or something," He said.
" You expect me to love a man who beats up his own wife, I'm glad you're happy Haruka but I'm not and never will be," Amber said.
"You brought that on your self, you push ones buttons enough and they will snap, no matter who they are, I think you should look inside yourself and work on your self, you'll never be happy when you don't even love yourself, how can
you love another?" Haruka questioned and started to walk away.
" What do you know Haruka, I asked to be free of him so he could find another wife and then he hit me," Amber said.
" He hit you because you're talking like an idiot," Haruka told her
"He hit me because I spoke my mind, do you really think he's going to forgive me for destroying his entire room, I'm sure the King has heard of this and isn't pleased at all," Amber said her tone bitter.
"Of course he's not, I just wish you'd try harder, I don't see why you always most make things ten times harder then they have to be," Haruka told her
"So I should just take it, I will not allow anyone to beat on me, have you forgotten what is going on the plots to overthrow this family, I won't be happy until you and I are safe," Amber said.
"No don't take it, just do as you please, I don't know what to do anymore," and with that Haruka walked out.
" Well, I'm not staying here a moment longer, I want out of this prison I've been in for two years," Amber said out loud getting up from the bed slowly.
The ceremony was held in the throne room, two foreign women were to wed the Pharaoh and his brother.
Both women didn't look a day over eighteen, one had long dark red hair and the other had long light golden brown hair.
They were both very beautiful young women, they would make suitable wives, they would bear many children for the King and the Prince.
After the ceremony the women were taken away to their chambers, they were to live in the palace and await when their husband's would come to bed them.
Time had passed, it had been at least two years since they had last seen their husbands, they had been given duties to attend to in the palace, Amber who was Prince Quatre's wife ran the palace and Haruka, King Heero's wife took care of all the palace animals.
One Year Ago....
"Ahhh, don't run from me Haruka....its all right my dear, I'll give you what our King won't," The head soldier said, gaining of Haruka has he removed his clothing, she was cornered in a room.
She hit the wall and started to cry.
"Please don't..." She pleaded.
The Soldier named Trowa smirked at her evilly, "sorry, but I always get what I want," He said and grabbed her roughly, ripping her clothing and slapping her hard.
She screamed as he entered her, taking her to his liking.
"....You're so sexy, I don't think our King has looked at you right...your a nice tight piece of flesh I'd love to sink my teeth into over and over again," He said as he harshly pumped into her, while she cried and refused to look at him.
"Look at me, my Queen," He sneered, grabbing her face making her look at him. "I love those big green eyes of yours," He said and kissed her hungrily.
Amber was walking back to her quarters when she was grabbed by someone and led into a dark room.
" Unhand me at once," Amber screamed.
She only received a slap in the face that knocked her down to the floor.
" Shut up woman, now take off your clothes and do as I say and you won't get hurt," the man said.
Amber didn't know what to do, quietly she felt the walls in search for the door that lead to the secret passage, opening the wall she slid threw it and closed it tight as she ran for it.
When she stopped the took the door that lead to the throne room, "my lady what brings you here at this hour," asked Duo who was a guard in the palace.
"Just taking a walk, will you escort me back to my quarters please," Amber asked wiping her bloody lip.
" Of course my lady," Duo said as they walked back to her quarters.
" Thank you, will you please look for her majesty, alert me if there is any trouble," Amber said saying goodnight to Duo.
" Of course, goodnight your highness," Duo said leaving.
A year later.....
"Heero, have you forgotten that we're married," Quatre asked stacking papyrus.
"I did until you just told me," Heero said in his deep monotone.
" The Queen won't leave her room without Duo one of the palace guards by her side," Quatre said.
Heero looked at his and rose and eye brow, "send for him," He ordered.
Quatre told the guards outside the door to summon Duo right away.
"The King wants to see me?" Duo asked the guard that summoned him. "Oh man," Duo said and hurried to the throne room.
Minutes later Duo arrived entering the room then getting down on one knee, " you summoned me your majesty," Duo asked. "Yes, why is it my wife, your Queen, refuses to leave her quarters without you?" King Heero asked.
" That is true, but I do not know the answer to your question, perhaps her highness might she and the Queen are very close friends," Duo said.
"I see, I will trust your word Soldier, but if you are lying to me I will hang you, summon the Princess now!" The King ordered in an angry tone.
" Why does the King want to see me," Amber asked Duo.
" Its about the Queen, you shouldn't keep him waiting he's really angry," Duo said.
" All right, take me to him," Amber said.
"You summoned me your majesty," Amber said bowing to the King.
"Princess, I am told you and my wife are friends," The King started as he paced on top of the stairs.
" That is true, she and I are more like sisters, why do you ask," Amber asked.
The King narrowed his blue eyes at her.
"Why does she refuses to leave her room without, this particular guard?" He asked.
" I do not know your majesty, I have asked her many times yet she only cries, I believe Duo is a trustworthy guard, he has protected the Queen and myself for over two years," Amber said.
"From?" The King demanded.
The guard Treize was standing behind the King looking the Princess directly in the eye mouthing I will kill you if she told the truth.
" Thieves in the palace, you know how they get in and steal things at night," Amber said hoping he'd believe her.
"Right, leave," The King said, waving her off with his hand.
" I'm sorry I couldn't be more help your majesty," Amber said bowing as she left.
-----------
" Haruka, the King summoned me today, word has gotten out that you won't leave your quarters without Duo escorting you, please tell me what happened to make you so afraid to leave your own room," Amber asked.
"The guards..." Haruka started, she started, looking at Amber, obviously afraid.
" They hurt you didn't they," Amber said as tears sprang to her eyes.
Haruka nodded. "Two of them....raped me.....and beat me..." Haruka stated as silent tears slid down her cheeks.
" They attacked me too, a little over a year ago but I got away before they could rape me," Amber said.
" How can I be worthy as a wife to the King, I feel so dirty and unclean," Haruka said.
" He will understand, it wasn't your fault they did this to us, we must tell the King and the Prince right away they will be executed," Amber said.
No, I don't want the King to know, please...promise me," Haruka said.
" I promise Haruka, I won't tell but you must come out of your room if we stay together we will be safe, the King is starting to get suspicious," Amber said.
A knock sounded at the door.
" Who is it," Amber asked wiping her eyes.
"Its me Duo."
" You may enter," Amber said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but the King and Prince are have a party this evening and are requesting your presence," Duo said.
" Do you want to attend Haruka," Amber asked.
Haruka didn't answer her. "Amber, you saw my husband, is he handsome?" She asked, turning towards her.
" Yes, he is," Amber said.
"I will go then, only to see him....Duo? don't leave my sight, please," She said.
" Yes, your majesty," Duo said bowing then leaving the room.
" Are you sure Haruka, if you don't want to go then I won't as well," Amber said.
"I want to go, only to see him...." Haruka said longingly. "Amber do you know how long I've wanted him to come to me? Or let me come to him? How I've wanted to sleep soundly in his arms and yet I've no memory of him," Haruka said.
" Then we shall go your majesty," Amber said bowing.
---------
"Tell me again, why I have to sit here and watch these idiots try to entertain me?" Heero asked his brother Quatre.
"I don't know your majesty," Quatre said.
"Stop calling me that..." Heero growled, only making Quatre smile at him.
" I hear you spoke to my wife today, is she beautiful," Quatre asked.
" She is a very spirited woman, she's very beautiful Quatre," Heero said.
"I'm scared Amber....his name is Heero right?" Haruka asked as she walked with Amber with Duo behind them.
Haruka nodded.
" I see him Haruka, he's the one sitting in that fancy chair, I guess the man sitting beside him is my husband Prince Quatre," Amber said.
There were two empty seats beside the Pharaoh and the Prince, they were reserved for the Queen and the Princess.
"Wow, they are very handsome...My husband looks bored," Haruka said almost laughing.
Heero sat slouched back with his chin resting on his knuckle, leaning on the arm of the chair.
" I don't think he likes the entertainment that is performing," Amber said.
Amber wore a white linen dress, wearing a light amount of makeup and turquoise jewelry, she wore a black wig that went to her shoulders.
Two belly dancers were dancing, the King seemed uninterested.
" Are you ready to go in Haruka," Amber asked.
"I think so," Haruka said.
" You have to walk in first, but I'll be right behind you," Amber said.
Haruka nodded and walked in, she wore a beautiful white linen dress with a gold necklace and bracelets on her arms and ankles, she had on a long black wig that flowed down her back, she had a light amount of make up on and a thin gold band on her head that was her symbol of royalty.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw the Queen of upper and lower Egypt walk in along with the Princess, this was the first time for every one of the court to meet them.
Heero quickly rose to his feet along with Quatre.
"Your majesty, your highness," Amber said bowing.
Haruka did the same without a word.
" Please sit my lady," Quatre said helping Amber to her chair.
Heero walked down the steps slowly, not looking away from Haruka's green eyes.
He took her hand a kissed it gently, still looking into her eyes, Haruka blushed.
Without a word he helped her to her throne.
" Tell me Quatre, did you forget that you had a wife," Amber whispered in his ear.
"How could I?" He said, looking her over blushing.
" Its been over two years, what were you waiting so long, for me to die," Amber asked.
Quatre looked away, "no, I was only following my brother," He said.
" Where to may I ask," Amber said.
Quatre only smiled nervously.
" Before you bed me, I'd like for us to get to know one another," Amber said.
"Yes, I agree," He said.
" Good, I would advise his majesty to take it slow with the Queen as well, she is quite young and fragile," Amber said.
Heero and Haruka had stayed quiet, he held on to her hand, kissing it absently.
Haruka's hand tightened as she caught glimpses of Trowa and Zechs, the two guars she feared.
Heero looked at her and smiled, she blushed and looked down, but still looking at him.
" Quatre, may we leave I am tired from the long day," Amber said spotting Treize.
"Oh, of course, but when may I you again, could I see you tomorrow morning," He asked.
" You may join me in my room, we can talk for a while if you like," Amber said smiling.
"Yes, I'd like that," He said following her.
Heero watched them go and turned to Haruka. "Are you tired my Queen?"
"Yes," She said shyly.
"Would you mind staying with me tonight?" He asked, rising.
Haruka agreed and followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You did not answer my question I asked earlier your highness, I asked where you followed your brother to and you never answered," Amber said as they walked down the palace hall.
"Oh I thought you were joking," Quatre said.
" After two years I assumed you had found another wife, it isn't uncommon for a Prince to have more than one wife, it has been a very rough two years learning the ways of your people with no guidance," Amber said.
"I apologize, but we had a hard time of our own, which I don't fell up to discussing at the moment," He said.
" I am your wife, you may tell me anything and I will help anyway that I can," Amber said.
"I know, but right now I want to enjoy my company and not worry about unnecessary things when I'm with you," He said, opening a door.
" Would you care for something to eat your highness, I can have the maids bring us something," Amber said sitting on a cushion.
"No, just sit with me," He said, sitting himself in large cushions.
" Your highness, would it be wrong of me if I asked to have a certain guard removed from the palace," Amber asked.
"Oh? why? and whom?" He asked.
" The guard called Treize, I don't think he should be trusted," Amber said.
"Oh? and what are your reasons to think so?" He asked suspiciously.
" I believe he is a threat to the royal family, I've heard rumors of him assaulting women in the palace," Amber said trying to keep her shaking hands still.
"I'll look into it but I can't promise anything, now if you don't mind I really would like to enjoy you, this is what I ask of you, to make me forget problems, to my understanding from my father, as my wife you're to make me forget things and to make me happy by amusing me, all I ask is joy and comfort, am I asking to much?" He asked.
" Of course not your highness, please forgive me for being out of line," Amber said.
"No, I like you speak your mind, I do, I just wish to be happy," He said sincerely.
" How can I make you happy, Quatre," Amber asked.
"Just sit here with me?" He asked, sweetly.
" Of course," Amber said sitting next to him and laying her head down in his lap.
-----------
Heero laid her down on his bed and kissed at her hungrily.
For the first time Haruka responded to a kiss.
She couldn't believe how handsome her husband, the King, was.
He was tender with her and careful, he was going slow, but she was scared anyway.
He looked down at her now.
"We don't have to do this if you don't want, if your not ready," He said, his blue eyes shining into her green ones, Haruka smiled, he smiled back.
He didn't seem to mind that she didn't say much, which was fine with her, he nodded and he kept going.
She looked at his now nude body over her as he kissed at her neck, he was beautifully sculpted, taunt muscles with tan skin.
He entered her and froze. Haruka looked at up him, his expression dark, almost furious. He looked down at her now as tears surfaced her eyes.
"You're not a virgin," He growled removing himself from her quickly, as if discussed.
"Get out," He ordered, covering himself with a sheet.
Haruka cried as she dressed and quickly left, not being able to remove his face of disgust in her mind and ran to her room.
----------
There was a knock at Quatre's door.
" Enter," Quatre said who had the sleeping Princess on his lap.
Heero walked in, seeing Amber asleep. "Make her leave, now!" He yelled.
" I'll take her to my bedroom," Quatre said picking his sleeping wife up and carrying her to his bedroom.
Heero paced the room angrily.
" What has angered you so much Heero, I've never seen you like this," Quatre said sitting back down.
"She's not a virgin!" He yelled.
" Did you ask her why," Quatre asked.
"No, I'm to furious, I think its that guard...Duo...." Heero growled. "I'll hang him," He said, walking out of the room, leaving Quatre speechless.
" No, you can't let him do that Quatre, he's the only one that protects us from," Amber said covering her mouth.
Looking at her he saw tears come to her eyes as she turned around and ran out of the room.
" Haruka, you've got to tell the King the truth, or he's going to execute Duo at dawn," Amber said as she cried.
"He doesn't want to see me, he hates me....Amber you should've seen his eyes...those beautiful blue eyes full of disgust and anger....at me," Haruka cried.
"I don't want Duo to die, but..." Haruka couldn't finish.
" Please Haruka, I beg of you to tell the truth, its wrong to let an innocent man die," Amber cried.
Haruka nodded.
------------
She knocked at his door, terrified to his eyes.....terrified he would turn her away.
" You may enter your majesty," the guard said.
Haruka walked inside the King chambers and looked around she couldn't see him until he was practically in her face.
"What do you want?" He demanded tightly.
Haruka tried her best not to let her tears fall.
"Please don't kill Duo...." She started in a tiny voice.
He arched a brow at her. "Oh? and why not? is he your lover?" He asked full of venom.
She shook her head. "No...he hasn't done anything," She said.
The blue eyes she loved so narrowed at her. "Then tell me why..." He started and slammed her against the door opening her legs and placing a hand between them. "Why aren't you a virgin?" He demanded.
This man scared her, he wasn't the man who had started to make love to her earlier that day.
"The guards...they....they..." She could voice her words, she had a knot in her throat and to many tears clouding her vision.
"They raped you?" Heero asked, seeing her fear, her shame and something else he couldn't place.
He back away from her as she slid down the wall.
"And Duo?" He asked.
"He didn't know anything....but he was the only one to never try anything...I trust him," She said in a tiny voice.
Heero nodded and looked away from her then back at her. He went to her and held her closely.
"I'm sorry,"He whispered, kissing her temple as she cried.
---------
Walking slowly down the halls of the palace, Amber reached her quarters, once she was inside safely she started to undress. Taking off her wig as her light brown hair flowed down her back, she started to remove her jewelry when she heard movement in the room, when she turned around she saw none other than her husband.
" Why did you get so upset when the King ordered Duo's execution," Quatre asked coming out from the shadows.
" I'm sorry but I can't answer that," Amber said.
" Is he your lover, is that the reason why you and the Queen keep him so close," Quatre asked coldly.
" How could you ask me such a question, I am your wife, I should be the one asking how many women you've bedded since the day we were married," Amber snapped.
"None, at least I answer your questions," He said and left the room, leaving her frustrated with him.
" He's so stupid, Haruka and I are in grave danger now that we're unprotected," Amber said sadly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Quatre, I need to speak to you," Heero said, walking over to the courtyard.
" Of course your majesty," Quatre said.
"She told me guards raped her," Heero said firmly, standing next to Quatre, looking straight ahead.
" Do you believe her," Quatre asked wondering if the same happened to his wife.
"I don't know...I want to, I'll watch her and I want to speak to this Duo," Heero said.
" Of course, after you left my quarters the Princess said something before she ran out of the room in tears," Quatre said.
Heero looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
" She said, no, you can't let him do that Quatre, he's the only one that protects us from, and then she ran out of the room, I spoke to her again and she wouldn't tell me anything," Quatre said.
Heero frowned and looked ahead again, clenching his jaw.
" I believe she knows something, I believe she knows what happened to the Queen but she is afraid to tell," Quatre said.
Heero nodded, "What should I do," He said, more to himself then the Prince.
" I don't know the Queen well, but I believe her, no woman would ever lie about being raped, you should order my wife to stay with her until this problem is resolved," Quatre said.
Heero looked at him, "No, she'll stay with you, she'll be safe that way, as for my wife I'll keep an eye on her myself," He said and walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haruka sat out in the balcony of Heero chambers. He had demanded she stayed with him after she had told him.
He would touch her though, which pained her, he went to her for comfort, she knew he was disgusted with her, even if he didn't voice it his eyes showed it.
She turned around, tears still lightly wet on her cheeks, she walked towards the baths as she walked inside, Heero's handmaid, Relena, sat.
" My Queen, the King wishes to not be disturbed," Relena said.
"I just want to sit next to him," Haruka said.
" You will only anger him if you disturb him my Queen," Relena said.
Haruka looked down, trying not to cry, she felt so pathetic crying at everything, but she couldn't help it. She turned to walked out.
"Relena! who are you talking to!" The King yelled.
" One of the servants your majesty," Relena said going back to bathing Heero.
"Heero?" A shy voice asked.
Heero turned in the tub, seeing Haruka standing there watching him only to blush and look away.
He looked at Relena angrily, "Is this whom you were talking to?" He demanded.
" Yes, forgive me your majesty, I was only following your orders," Relena said.
"When it comes to my wife you will show respect you imbecile, don't you ever refer to her as a servant," He growled. "Get out!"
Relena bowed and left the baths.
Heero looked at Haruka. She looked small and fragile. "What is it?" He asked softly.
Her eyes looked up at him. "I...could I..." She stammered.
"Wash me?" He finished for her. She nodded looking down. "Yes," He said moving around in the tub so his back was to her.
Haruka kneeled behind him on the tile and grabbed the cloth, she started with his back, softly, and massaging at the same time. Heero closed his eyes and sighed contentedly as she proceeded to cleaning his shoulders and slowly building courage to washing his chest.
In the shadows Relena watched as she saw the Queen wash her King, ' I'll take care of you my Queen and then your King will be mine,' Relena thought evilly.
As Haruka washed him carefully, Heero watched her face, her eyes showed actually joy yet mainly nervousness.
She washed at his flat muscled stomach and Heero grabbed her arm, Haruka looked up at him quickly.
He looked at her in the eyes and kissed her, she dropped the cloth and kissed him back, In one swift move he had her on his lap in the pool.
She looked at him breathless as he kissed at her lips, neck and shoulders.
In seconds he had removed her clothes and was kissing her hungrily.
Her hair floated to the surface, giving her a glowing silk look, Heero growled and picked her up sitting her on him.
"I want you Haruka," He said, kissing and biting lightly at her neck.
"Yes," She gasped as he slid inside her, making her moan and she held on tightly to his shoulders as he started a slow, gently rhythm.
Their lips stayed connected, both enjoying each other fully.
' I will kill you, when you're dead I will be Queen of Egypt and Heero will be mine,' Relena thought as she watched the King and Queen make love.
~~~~~~~~~~
"After two years of wondering where the hell you were, you've finally taken an interest in me, tell me how many women have you bedded since our wedding day one, ten, a hundred," Amber snapped.
"I told you already! None!" Quatre yelled.
" Why, there are millions of women who would love for you so lay with them and you didn't why," Amber asked.
"Because I'm married to you to you!" He said, grabbing her face and kissing her passionately.
Quatre picked her up and laid her down on the bed as their kisses became deeper.
" Please stop, I'm not ready your highness," Amber said breathing hard from their kiss.
Quatre looked away, "I'm sorry..." He said and left the room. Amber watched him go, touch her fingers to her kiss swollen lips, his kiss.
" Please don't leave, we'll never grow to love one another if you always run away," Amber said sadly.
"Amber what do you want from me? Tell me right now," He demanded walking back towards her.
" I want you to protect me, I want you to love me, I know what happened to the Queen, because it almost happened to me too," Amber said as she started to cry.
Quatre walked to her and gently held her by her shoulders, "What Amber? What happen and almost did?" He asked.
" A year ago I was attacked, I was walking back to my quarters when I was grabbed and dragged into a room, I told him to let me go and he hit me, and then he said to take off my clothes and I wouldn't get hurt, but I escaped threw the passageway, and I ran to the throne room and Duo took me back to my quarters, please don't let the King kill him he's innocent," Amber pleaded.
Quatre nodded,"And is that what happen to the Queen?" He asked.
" I wasn't raped, I got away before he could rape me," Amber said.
"Treize?" He asked.
" Yes, it was him, Haruka wouldn't tell me who raped her, now that you know he'll kill me," Amber said.
"No, no he won't, just please, stop worrying about it and let me take care of it, promise me from this second you will not think or worry about it," He demanded.
" I promise, please stay with me your highness, I need you," Amber said hugging him tightly.
Quatre hugged her tightly.
---------
" What do you wish us to do, the Queen and the Princess are now sharing a bed with their husbands," Relena whined.
"Keep watch on them, see if there's a routine, if they like to go pick flowers anything, just keep an eye on them," Zechs ordered.
"Ah, our Queen, how I miss fucking her every night," Trowa said sarcastically.
" Yes, we will do as you command," Dorothy said.
" There might be a way we could kidnap the Queen, if we got her over the borders she would be yours for the taking Trowa," Relena said.
Trowa smirked.
"Yes, I'd like another piece of our Queen as well," Zechs said, smiling at Trowa.
" What about the Princess, she is standing in the way of the Prince being mine," Dorothy said stomping her foot.
"You can take care of her, but wait till I say, watch them for now, for a routine or anything of the sort," Zechs said.
They all nodded.
-----------
" Your Majesty, I have news to report regarding the Queen and the Princess," Quatre said.
" Tell me what you've learned," Heero said.
" My wife told me that she was attacked, the one who attacked her was one of the palace guards, the one called Treize," Quatre said.
"I see," Heero said.
He was clad only in a sheet, his body slick from light sweat of the night and recent love making but moments ago.
"Did she name my wife's attackers?" He asked.
"She told me that the Queen was raped, but she didn't know by whom, what do you mean attackers," Quatre said.
"She said they, I believe there was at least two, we'll keep and eye on them, now excuse me, I left her alone in my bed to long," Heero said turning facing Quatre.
"Goodnight your majesty," Quatre said bowing then leaving.
Heero walked back inside from the balcony, the light wind blowing the see threw curtains as he walked into the room, seeing Haruka sound asleep in his bed, smiling Heero laid down, stroking her long red hair as she slept.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your Highness, what does the King think of the traitors inside these palace walls," Amber asked brushing her long hair.
" The King needs more proof, when he gets it they will be dealt with," Quatre said.
" The King is an idiot," Amber said.
"Excuse me?" He said.
" The King is an idiot, I don't think you need to be told twice, until he has an heir both of them are in danger, there is a plot to overthrow him even as we speak, Haruka has named her attackers and so have I why are you allowing them to be free," Amber said.
" How do you know this," Quatre asked.
" Do I look that dumb your highness, my father had me well educated because he thought I was to be High Queen and didn't want his daughter to bring shame on her family," Amber said.
Quatre looked at her as if she had grown another head.
" You should take another wife, how about you let me choose her one that will not match you in intelligence," Amber said.
Quatre had enough, his hand came across her slim face, smacking her hard. "I had enough!" He yelled as she fell to the floor. "I will not listen to this," He turned and stormed out.
Holding her face Amber got up slowly, in explosion of anger she shattered the mirror with her bare hands, screaming loudly breaking anything she could get her hands on.
Everyone in that wing of the palace was awakened by the screams of Egypt's Princess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was up early the next day, there was to be a party that evening.
" Heero why are we having another party, we just had one three days ago," Quatre said in an annoyed tone.
"I feel like celebrating" Heero told him
"I'm glad things are going well between you and Haruka," Quatre said.
"So am I, how are you and your wife?" Heero asked, as he was getting dressed into his favorite robe.
" Things aren't going well between us, I struck her last night and left her in my room," Quatre said sadly.
Heero turned to him with a stern look. "And why are you here instead of speaking with her? What will that accomplish?" He turned towards Quatre and started to walk towards him. "Do not show up tonight if she is not with you, go seek her and fix your marriage" He told him.
" Don't count on us being there tonight Heero," Quatre said turning around and leaving the room.
Heero only glared at his exit.
Hearing no response when he knocked on his door Quatre walked in and found his quarters destroyed.
Mirrors were broken vases shattered drapes ripped apart, then he saw her lying on the floor in a small pool of her own blood.
Checking her pulse it was steady, he picked her up and carried her to another room and laid her down on the bed.
" Send for a healer now," Quatre told a guard then he went back to his wife.
Looking her over he saw she had many cuts on her arms and a bruise on her left cheek.
" I'm so sorry Amber, please forgive me," Quatre said stroking her hair.
" You're highness the healer is here," the guard said.
"I'm disgusted with you two," They heard the king say as he walked in.
" Why are you here," Quatre asked frowning slightly.
"Because this is disgusting" Heero told him and turned away.
"You better fix your life Quatre, look at your position, who you are and what you and her represent," And he left.
" Heero wait," Quatre said.
" I am the last person my wife wants to see when she awakes, I think it would be best if the Queen is here I really don't know what happened to her I found her on the floor laying in her blood," Quatre said.
"Fine, I'll send for Haruka" Heero said a left.
" Forgive me brother, I'm a failure to you," whispered Quatre sadly.
---------
" Where am I," Amber said softly as she tried to sit up.
"Your in the healing quaters" Haruka told him softly.
" So you know what happened then," Amber said.
"I just don't understand," Haruka said looking out of the large window.
" I didn't try to kill myself, Quatre hit me and I got very upset and I broke everything in his room," Amber said softly.
"Still, i don't understand you" Haruka said again and turned towards her. "You always want to make things harder, its like you don't want to be happy or something," He said.
" You expect me to love a man who beats up his own wife, I'm glad you're happy Haruka but I'm not and never will be," Amber said.
"You brought that on your self, you push ones buttons enough and they will snap, no matter who they are, I think you should look inside yourself and work on your self, you'll never be happy when you don't even love yourself, how can
you love another?" Haruka questioned and started to walk away.
" What do you know Haruka, I asked to be free of him so he could find another wife and then he hit me," Amber said.
" He hit you because you're talking like an idiot," Haruka told her
"He hit me because I spoke my mind, do you really think he's going to forgive me for destroying his entire room, I'm sure the King has heard of this and isn't pleased at all," Amber said her tone bitter.
"Of course he's not, I just wish you'd try harder, I don't see why you always most make things ten times harder then they have to be," Haruka told her
"So I should just take it, I will not allow anyone to beat on me, have you forgotten what is going on the plots to overthrow this family, I won't be happy until you and I are safe," Amber said.
"No don't take it, just do as you please, I don't know what to do anymore," and with that Haruka walked out.
" Well, I'm not staying here a moment longer, I want out of this prison I've been in for two years," Amber said out loud getting up from the bed slowly.
