Corrupt Nature [LadyYunaFFX2 & Alvis Alendran's 1x1]

"I...I am sworn to your service my queen. will remain with you as long as you wish it." The handmaid said quietly, seeing that her queen did not seem to want much in the way of aid in her dressing, so stayed out of the way, and quiet. She had not known the queen, when she was the princess, to be so...modest with her maids. The young woman's mind began to wonder what had happened to the queen the night before. Was that the reason that general Hetmas was now the pharoh? She pushed the thoughts from her mind as the queen left her rooms. The Handmaid kept pace behind her, always three steps back, the respectful distance.

The throne room was immaculate, any blood that had been shed the night before had been scrubbed clean. A newly appointed High Priest, new generals, and new ministers stood in ordered places. Only five of the ministers had served the former Pharoh, these had sworn their loyalty to Hetmas, betraying their comrades into the swords of the usurpers. Hetmas sat resplendant in his gold on the throne, the smaller on to the far right of him, Ishizu's previous seat in court functions was gone, only a more glorious seat right beside him that was fit for a queen. In time it would be modified to suit her better, but for now it would do. Hetmas smiled coldly as Ishizu entered. She had indeed dressed for the occasion, and ministers all owed to her as she passed them. hetmas rose from his throne smoothly, adn offered her a hand to her throne, as befit a pharoh to his queen.

"Thank you ... " Ishizu murmured softly, managing to give her handmaiden a small nod seconds before they entered the Throne Room, her eyes taking some quick observations on it. Somehow, it felt and even looked a bit different. Her eyes went from the decor and designs within it - including the new throne that was clearly meant for her - to all the men whom were now going to serve Hetmas and finally ... Hetmas himself. She managed a small but at least genuine smile, her gaze noting his hand extended.

A lot of her didn't want to accept ... but she wouldn't dare cause a scene here. With no idea on whom still had loyalties to her Father or Hetmas, it wasn't a risk worth taking. Besides, all - if not most - of them were armed. It would be an extreme measure on Hetmas' behalf and quite the loss to his plans ... but with all he'd already done so far, the possibility of being wounded or worse before all these people was one she couldn't simply ignore.

With a small bow of her head, she accepted his hand, slowly moving beside him. Now her heart did go faster ... knowing fully well that all that would happen would be completely official and legitimate. In the back of her mind, she couldn't help but still wonder about her Father and where he was by now. Out of Cairo probably for sure ... but aside from that, Ishizu couldn't begin to guess.

Then again, her mind was much more on the situation. It was taking but all her will power to keep from trembling in front of all the people. She hated crowds but worse than that, she despised lying. And as much as she wanted to stop the procedure by revealing all that'd happened for this to be occurring, she held her tongue.
 
Hetmas raised his arms.
"Our beloved pharoh has passed. In the night, he was taken fom this place, and even now is on his way to teh Valey of Kings, to join his ancestors there. But take heart my servants, for in his place, I stand before you. And with his daughter, Ishizu, the dynasty will continue forever!" He announced. There were a few grim smiles on the faces of those who knew all of what had transpired. Little to none of what Hetmas said was false, but neither did it tell the real truth.

Hetmas turned to Ishizu.
"Now then, my queen, tell them that we are one. That we shall rule this land. And that we will continue the dynasty. In your own words." He said quietly. Appearances needed to be maintained. If it could be stated that things were not right, then there was risk of dissent. but he knew that what Ishizu had endured before this was a pale shadow of what punishments could be visited on her.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

Ishizu's eyes slowly glanced around, noting a few out of place smirks. They were more likely than not with Hetmas. Mentally noting all of the faces, she suddenly felt the spotlight fall on her as Hetmas asked her to clarify that the lie had been true. This ... would be her easiest opportunity, she knew, to try to set things straight. She could inform the people here and now of all that had truly happened and take over Hetmas's place. After all, Nefertiti had been a female Pharaoh; it was possible.

But now that she saw and knew there were some of Hetmas's men within this very chamber ... her mind went to her Father. They probably knew that he was heading to the Valley of the Kings, alive ... for now. If she spoke up, that could easily be altered. And that alone made her break down, forgetting and not caring that others were before her.

"W-we are one. Forgive me ... the loss is still ... overwhelming me. I will heal with time as all do when someone precious is lost. Right now, I won't be as strong, mentally especially, as I usually am. But with time, that will pass. Alas though .... all Hetmas says is true. We are one ... and though my Father is gone, we will not let Egypt or the dynasty fall."

Her left hand, which wasn't being held, wiped away her tears as best as she could, though the reality and truth made the task easier said than done as they continued to stream down her face. She felt disgusted and sick once again at herself. First she'd given into lust ... and now she'd lied to her people. Not because she'd wanted to; but because - for now - she had to.
 
Hetmas couldn't believe his luck. He had an opportunity now, one that was excellent. he dicided to take it. He raised a hand again.
"You have all heard the words of the Queen, and the Pharoh! She is still labouring under great strain, and we must be respectful of her. I ask that all clear the room now, to grant her time to grieve." Everyone bowed, and began to file out. Soldiers guided them, before taking their own leave. The doors to teh throne room closed with a boom that echoed in the air. Hetmas sat on his throne a moment, giving Ishizu time to wonder. He slowly turned to face her.

His face was cold, almost like it was carved in stone.
"Now then my queen. We have the mater of your defience to discuss." He said quietly. While he noted that the handmaid still remained at the very back of the room, in an alcove, he paid her no mind. She was not a significant piece of his puzzle.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

"I'm not ... going to beg for mercy or deny my acts if that's what you're awaiting to hear. I don't see what's to discuss, honestly. I know I could suggest things ... but in the end, it's your call, your decision. What would you have me say? Sorry? No .... I won't. I stand by what I said yesterday; I wasn't about to turn on my Father. But as I also said yesterday ... it's no longer a concern, is it?" Just as Hetmas had a cold glare in his eyes, there couldn't help but be a similar one within her voice.

Her hands shook as she covered her face. "And now .. you just forced me to lie in front of them all. I regret it and don't, though more the latter." Still, the torment and grief was very genuine.

Her focus had been so much upon Hetmas and him alone that while he had noticed the handmaiden still around.
 
He eased back into his seat.
"I suppose we can start simply for you. Here and now Ishizu. You will pleasure me properly, as I sit in this throne, and you adorned as a queen." He casually unbuckled his kilt, and lay it open, exposing himself to the cooler air of th throne room. he'd already had this thought before, but now, he was eager to live it properly. "Don't be shy Ishizu. Put your mouth to good use. After all, it's nothing you haven't done before." he said calmly, a smug smile in his eyes. The thought of her servicing him already had his half way to errect.

The Handmaid put her hand to her mouth, wilting further into the alcove, avoiding eyes. The queen, and pharoh..already... adn now in the throne room? What kind of ruler was this pharoh planning to be? And what kind of nation would be built around him? And what of the queen? What horrors would he be visiting on her? And if this was only a start... the handmaid began to silently pray, praying that the Goddess Isis might visit some mercy onto poor Ishizu. Surely the girl had done nothing to derserve such a harsh treatment! There must be some justice in this land yet! She prayed it find it's way to this very room.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

Ishizu had to admit that compared to what she'd expected, this was much more merciful. Whether it was because of her cooperation during the speech not long ago or some other factor, she didn't know ... but she definitely wouldn't complain. Her hands moved up, forcing the tears to cease as she wiped them away again. It seemed ... wrong to defile a Throne Room in such a manner .. but at the very minimum, she did - unfortunately - owe Hetmas for not having whipped her ... probably worse. Shakily moving her hair behind her back, she sank to her knees.

Her hands rested at her sides as she stared down silently. Her mouth opened ... and took his already semi-erect member inside her mouth. A shiver trailed down her mouth as she began moving her head slowly up and down, her tongue joining in. Remembering the sensitive spots she had found yesterday, she used that knowledge to her advantage ... and lightly danced around and along each vein and location that she'd found before. She could hopefully use how well she was performing as a form of leverage, one which could lessen whatever her true punishment was supposed to have been and make it more merciful.
 
Hetmas grinned as he leaned back, Ishizu showing that she certainly hadn't forgotten the skills she'd acquired so quickly. He continued to swell in her mouth, though this time he'd no intention of stopping her before her was done. He let out a long, slow groan as she traced her tongue across a particularly tender spot. He grinned as he felt himself reach his full peak of size.
"Make sure you take it all in." He said with a smile. He was certainly enjoying his first day as pharoh. His eyes lazily looked around the room, seeing the huddled form in the alcove, but dismissing her again. He turned his gaze back to the girl bobbing her head on his shaft. He rested a hand on her head, making sure she kept on task, and giving her a little encouragement with her motions, but making sure that she was making the moves herself for now.

The Handmaid was nearly in tears, having an excellent view of her queen sucking on the new pharoh. She couldn't believe that such a thing could be allowed. Her eyes looked to the carved forms of each god in the pantheon, ll of them staring down at the man that was supposed to be the mortla form of the cheif god. And here he was, having his wife service him. The sacrilege was beyond comprehension! But more, it nearly broke her heart to see the queen subjected to this! And so soon after the loss of her father.

Why why why?! She inwardly cursed, her hands trembling as they stayed at her sides. Why is this even happening?! And to think it'd only begun ... that made things all the more worse for poor Ishizu. Her head continued to move up and down, quietly noting his reactions mimicking yesterday's when she hit the correct spots. A bit more than disgusted, she was irked and annoyed at the men and women whom hadn't been loyal to Hetmas. There should have been an easy hint that she didn't need to remind or point out to prove this wasn't legitimate!

Of course they weren't wed. Such an event would have been a huge deal and all of Egypt would have known. How had this been missed?! That alone was wounding her a bit more than the shattering of her pride by being forced to do such duties as she was now in the Throne Room.

She breathed through her nose, trying to calm herself, as her mouth opened wider. The pace of her breathing quickened as she felt slight difficulty taking him all the way in but managed to maintain breathing well enough while staying al the way down. Her eyes slowly closed in defeat. She didn't want to look at anyone or anything ... but especially not herself. If her Father wasn't disappointed and ashamed in her, she most certainly was.
 
Hetmas sighed slowly as he felt Ishizu take him all the way in. He felt himself jerk slightly, and a dribble of precum leaked into her mouth. He knew he'd not last much longer under her care, but was determined to make the most of it. He used his hand on her to pick up her speed a little, bringing himself closer nad closer to release. Gods, I should have done something like this years ago! He thought to himself. Not even a full day on the job, and already he felt as though he could achieve anything. he noticed that Ishizu had closed her eyes, and was not nearly as enthusiastic as she had been the night before. It seemed as though she was fighting her own internal battle at that moment. But she was regardless keeping to task. It was a most admirable trait to have in a bride. He didn't need to spend the time on the norally lavish ceremony, he'd simply have the new High Priest officiate things, adn enter it into the annals of the dynasty. And then in that moment he'd be nearly impossible to shift from his position. And that would make him the newest incarnation of a living god. With the final thought, he drew her face most of the way off of his cock, and came into her mouth.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

The tell-tale sign of his cock twitching inside her mouth hinted he was damn close to his peak. Her head and tongue both moved up and down, more to try to get out of such a shameful act quicker while making it appear as if she were just increasing the pleasure he was getting. The more he throbbed, the faster her pace went. Finally, he shot in her mouth. Her nails dug lightly into her palms, her fists clenching. She wanted to pull her mouth away, to spit the cum out ... but she was already enduring what was supposed to be her 'punishment'. Doing so would only make it worse .. and if she was lessening it at the moment, it'd definitely make things more dangerous than they would already be.

Her head remained down as she swallowed, a shiver trailing down her body. Even as he finished his climax, her head remained down upon his cock ... much better to be safer than sorry. He hadn't said to stop yet ... she wasn't willing to take chances. Her eyes slowly opened as she gazed up to make eye contact with Hetmas, giving him a look as if to ask 'Now what?'.
 
She was being carefully insolent, and he could understand that. After all, he'd not simply punish her for the sake of it, there had to be clearly defined reason for it. He seriously contemplated going farther right here in the throne room, but felt that the echoes might carry to a few more ears than he wanted. After all, while some of the staff knew about what was happening with the queen, it wouldn't do to have Ishizu's screams reach every member of the palace. Not yet anyway. He slid her off of his shaft, adn cocked his head, looking at her as though evaluating her.

"That has psared you the worst that I would give you. Perhaps I should do mroe to ensure the continuation of the dynasty. Would you like me to do that to you again? Here and now?" He asked. He wasn't sure how she'd answer. She normally was rather honest, and he appreciated that. After all, as long as she was being honest, then he would know where she stood with him. But he also wondered if she might just give him the answer she felt he wanted to hear. And if she did, well, he supposed that he could change his schedule for the day to allow himself the opportunity to bend her over the throne. He gave her a half smile that reeked of confidence that bordered close to arrogant.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

As Ishizu got spoken to, her head pulled up so she could reply. She went silent, trying to think carefully on his words and ensure she was understanding them well enough.

Do I want him to ... ??

She was relatively certain she had the right idea ... and her head shook no. ".... If you mean have your way again with me here ... no. I have more respect for this Palace than to allow it to be desecrated like that." She hadn't felt ... ill upon waking up. Then again, symptoms of being with child weren't always immediate, she knew. But with any luck, he hadn't yet succeeded.

Without another word, she stood up and sat back into her throne, her head lightly turning away to glance towards the doors. Even if he wasn't done ... she was.
 
Hetmas leaned back, relaxing into the throne. He did have a few things to take care of.
"We will be receiving no petitioners this day. Servants will be packing your belongings to be transported to the royal chambers. You should ensure that they are performing their duties properly. And take that hand maid that is busily cowering at the back of the alcove there with you." He flicked his hand, pointing to the huddled form, barely visible.

The hand maid heard the pharoh point her out, and let out a small, frightened squeak. She managed to stand, knowing that it would be pointless to further hide away from the queen. She only hoped that Ishizu would not want her punished for witnessing what had happened.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

Ishizu gave a nod to confirm she had heard everything. But when it got to the part of her handmaiden, her heart sank and her eyes widened slightly. " ... I see. I didn't think anyone else was here." So ... she'd seen?! Oh gods ... how horrid and pathetic she must look. And her hands and body had just stopped trembling; now they wanted to resume with the thought of one of her women having seen such a lewd act. Managing to stand up, she went to the alcove, sighing softly as she did indeed see her handmaiden hiding away.

" .... Come help me watch over the servants." She offered, her calm voice hinting she wasn't mad ... not at the handmaiden anyways. Herself though? Oh yes, very much and not just for having given in and complied ... but all she's done prior till now. Lying ... lust ... and the list just seemed to slowly keep piling up. And if it got too high, there'd be no way for redemption of any sort.
 
The handmaiden nodded, adn fell into step behind Ishizu.
"As you wish my queen..." She said faintly, completely unsure of what was to happen with her queen now. Was she being led away quietly to be sent back to her parents in disgrace? Would she be killed? Given to the army as a toy for amusment? Worse, given to the pharoh for amusement? The more they walked, the more her mind seemed to conjure up terrifying things that could befall her if she stayed. But it was even faster to conjure up things that might happen if she ran.

Hetmas had redone his kilt, and had sat down to a meeting of his council.
"High Priest, I need Ishizu and my names to be logged in the annals as having been wed quietly, in an emergency due to her fathers sudden passing. It needs to be done, and publicly acknowledged." He ordered cooly.
"It can be done, but it may take several days. Can you keep the Queen in line until then?" He asked. Hetmas nodded.
"Worry about your end. What of the army?" Another man spoke up.
"In place. The old loyalists have been told that Ishizu has endorsed you, and that has mollified them somewhat. What do we do with them?"
"Send them to the Western Front. Along with my old officer cadre. They can manage the Front as well as can be expected. And Ishizu's father? What of him?"
"Gone fromt eh city, under guard as you ordered. They are keeping from the roads, staying out of sight. It will be some time before they reach the Valley of Kings." Hetmas nodded. All was going as he planned it.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

For a while, Ishizu allowed the only thing between herself and her handmaiden to be silence. As she arrived back in her room, she began to watch the servants gathering her things and noted it was being done rather swiftly. Probably Hetmas's orders .. An inward sigh echoed in her mind at the thought. Her own fate ... she wasn't as worried about as she probably should be. Her concern was much more for her Father and the people, though a bit more the latter. For now, she'd seen proof that Hetmas wouldn't go back on his word so long as she cooperated. And until she or her Father could find the perfect moment ... they would both play along, no matter how long that may take.

Finally, she spoke softly to her handmaiden, her head bowing slightly. "... I'm sorry you had to see that. I ... won't blame you if that makes you re-think your loyalties and allegiance to me." It could easily be enough to alter anyone's mind on a single individual, Ishizu knew. Especially if the person in question normally had a really good reputation like herself whom now ... was beginning to look more weak and pathetic than ever before.

And then .... it hit her. She was alone for once. Her voice lowered more as she whispered softly, "Listen carefully to me and keep this to yourself. Hetmas ... should not be Pharaoh. Father is alive and well. He was forced into exile. I, for sure, am trying to buy time." It could start out small .... informing only her and then working towards the rest of the people. But if it could be done ... it would be a start. "I will inform the others ... in time. Just note it ... but act as if you never heard this. Understood?"
 
The Handmaiden felt her eyes go a little wider each time that Ishizu spoke. Disastrous revelation after disasterous revelation was laid bare to her from the queen, and now the queen was asking for her confidence and help... this was most certainly not what she'd expected when she agreed to be a princess's handmaiden! She wanted to run, to hide, to flee back home and damn the disgrace, or even run to the pharoh, or should she call him usurper? and find out what to do! But she'd been sworn to the service of Ishizu. And while she might not be a great and powerful noble, she still had something of a sense of honour. And an oath was an oath. She'd sworn no oath to Hetmas, and that gave her the freedom to do as she needed. She shakily nodded to Ishizu.
"I...I am your servant my queen, and I will help how I can." She said just as quietly. Ishizu no longer stood alone in the palace. Perhaps it was only two, but there was even now a beginning of a conspiracy to take back the kingdom.

Hetmas steepled his fingers, watching as the various noble houses made their bjections known to him about this sudden takeover of the throne. Others came to pledge undying fealty to the dynasty. He filed away the names and faces of each objector and boot-licker, all while deciding what to do with each of them. His mind kept wandering back to Ishizu. Now there was someone else he planned what he might do to her. He allowed himself a brief smile, which thankfuly coincided with a bootlicker pledging himself. Tonight would be their first night within the chambers of royalty. It seemed only fair to give them a proper christening.

"Thank you. I will need all the help I can get." She replied, keeping her voice soft and using peripheral vision every now and again to ensure none of Hetmas's men were nearby to listen in on this talk. That was one of the last things she'd need. Thankfully, none caught her eyes, making her inwardly sigh in relief. Her focus then went to the servants once again, noting some of the newer ones looked slightly confused. And with some rushing off, not all could help the others out. Motioning for those whom needed some guidance to follow her, she began to lead them towards the correct room. "This way. Do not push yourselves, especially with the heavier items. No sense in risking anything - yourself included - getting broken."
 
"My queen is very kind." One of the servants said vacantly. There was little to no emotion in what was being stated. He seemed...burned out completely. Gods alone knew what he must have endured to cause such a thing to happen to him. The halls were not as full as they had been the previous day, before the usurpation of the pharoh. Now, in a single night of blood, more than two hundred people were dead, and it was clear to some of the soldiers that patrolled the halls at regular intervals that more would likely be coming in the near future. Hetmas was not yet fully consolidated in hs autority.

The handmaiden wrung her hands together, followig behind her queen, but wondering what aid she could possibly be to the queen in this coming shadow war. She was not gifted in guile, or stealth, and not suited to lying. But the queen trusted her. And she felt only that she wanted to prove worthy of that trust. it was more than she'd ever anticipated receiving. The doors to the royal chambers opened. The handmaiden looked at the floor abruptly, seeing that Hetmas was present, directing some of the servants to set different furnishings down.
 
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/virgo2005/RPC-RP Pics/cleo_en_blue_by_granados602-d5c3lqu.jpg

She could only begin to guess what had gotten the poor servant's spirits down .. and sympathized with him. Her own had been the worst they had been in .. years. Behind her, Ishizu could practically feel Auset's anxiety. A small smile crossed her lips as she whispered softly, "Just have faith and hold on. Keep living and doing your obligations to me. As I said, I will work on the rest of the steps. Until then ... think not on it." Soon, they arrived in the chambers and Ishizu allowed her eyes to glance around and note the changes that were being made. Gently taking one of Auset's arms, she guided her and herself out of the way so when the servants finished up their work, they could leave without any obstacles in their way.
 
"Set the trunks there. The queen will likely wish to see to the organizing of her wardrobe personally. Is there more coming?" he asked a servant. The man shook his head. "Excellent. You have done well good man. You should be proud." The man looked surprised, as though he'd not received such before, and especially not from a pharoh. He lost a hint of that vacant stare, and seemed a touch more animated when he and the other servants filed out of the room, leaving only hetmas, Ishizu and the handmaiden, Auset in the chambers.

There was a long pregnant pause before Hetmas spoke again.
"Your maid seems to have become very attatched to you my queen. And you to her." He asid, a hint of suspicion creeping into his voice. Hetmas had not been a general for many years by not being slightly paranoid. He had to wonder if there was a reason this one handmaiden was still keeping close to Ishizu.

"Auset has been one of my best and most loyal handmaidens. Nothing more." The words weren't a lie, at least. As far as she could remember, Auset had always been there for her and vice versa. However, with how she'd all but dragged her into this mess ... she had to take her own precautions to ensure her safety. "You may go rest up now that the servants are done, Auset. My own duties with them are done, thus yours to me are also for now."

Waiting for Auset to get out -- away and safe from Hetmas -- she allowed herself to move closer, her head bowing to Hetmas. She doubted the punishment had been completely over from earlier ... but more than that, she would do all she could to keep his mind off Auset, the tone already suggesting she would need to be very, very careful on proceeding further with her plans.

"Now that the servants are done ... what would you ask of me?" She asked, keeping a soft and gentle tone as Ishizu spoke.
 
Hetmas looked at Ishizu as she approached him, head lowered, demure and compliant. His mind screamed that she was up to something, that he should have the handmaid tortured and beaten until she talked, but he was also distracted by her question of what he would have her do. In his heart of desire, he had a number of things he'd like her to do. And it was ultimately that side of him that was speaking the loudest to him mind.
"You are eager to please your pharoh, and for that, he is will not let that action go unappreciated." He said with an air of regal authority.

Auset began to slip towards the doors, ready to make good on her escape, when she saw that the queen had chanmbers set aside for handmaidens. She hesitated between her need to try adn stay close to help Ishizu if possible, or get as far away from hetmas as possible. In the end, duty won out, and she retreated into the small chambers off to the side, quietly closing the door, and hoping that sound did not carry well through this place. he was not sure what she would do if it sounded like Ishizu was being hurt. It was doubtful she could do anything besides get herself terribly wounded. She sank to the floor, hugging her knees, and praying to the goddess.

"You are clad as a queen for her court. but now you stand before your pharoh, and should be clad as befits you for your marriage bed." He told her calmly, pacing around her, a hand idly flicking at buckles on her outfit, popping them loose as he kept smiling. The anticipation was almost a reward in and of itself.
