Priestess Of The Land

Lord Aten and God Hoth had traveled back to the Moon Land, while Mgor had stayed back to the Sun Land.

"Do you think I went easy on him," asked Hoth.

Lord Aten wanted to say yes, but answered,"I'm sure you had your reasons."

"Hmm," God Hoth took a look at Lord Aten and continued,"killing him would have been too easy for him, people like that only by letting them live can you really punish them. Have them be aware that nothing and no one should be taken for granted."

"You have enlightened me, your Majesty," said Lord Aten humbly.

"Hm, besides, blindness isn't the only punishment for laying eyes on true form. I represent the moon, although it is quite a wonder, people tend to forget that it also has a dark side. We shall await the news...today was our turn to deal with him, tomorrow shall be another's."

Lord Aten did not understand what he was talking about, but he was glad Hoth had taken other measures to deal with Ra. Additionally, to what he has left Mgor to do, Ra will not get off that easy.

God Hoth had indeed taken other measures, among the effects of the prime minister's fall from power. The emperor did not keep Ra in the prison and had sent him back to his family.

The capital had exploded in gossip upon learning the news of the prime minister's demotion and the marriage annulment. All the people who were trying to get close to Ashir family have turned their back on them, and those who were already close to them had avoided them.

The Ashir family, which used to be the future empress's family, was now the topic of ridicule. No one knew how it was spread among the masses, but when everyone learned of Elaine's real identity and how she was treated by Ra and the main wife, they scorned them to the point where they can't even come out of their estates.

Inside their home should have been peaceful, unfortunately, it was not. Madame Ashir had been crying nonstop since Ra came back from the palace a breath away from death. However, the reason for her sorrow wasn't her husband's condition, it was due to her hopes that had been shattered. The high pedestal she was on along with her daughter had been pulled forcefully from under them as they fell right over their arrogance.

Nala who had just turned fifteen was waiting for the marriage bestowal and had already chosen a wedding dress, fit for a future Empress. Who was she suppose to marry now? All of her etiquettes skills and marriage lesson which she learned from her mother were now useless, because even if she does not marry the heir, not even the other princes will take him. Also for the first time in her life, Nala envied Tria, the third prince might be a cripple but he was still a prince and he was handsome. Not only did she envy Tria, but she also now hated her, if it was not because of Tria's mother her fate not have changed.

Among the chaos, Seti and the rest had already arrived in the capital, and with Mexi's help, their settlement was effortless.

Seti was already collecting information from her restaurant and sending them to the third prince's manor for Ka'an and the others to organize through. Although at first her arrival was abrupt and the people were skeptical, her beauty had reeled them in and her personality won them over. Due to the many influential people who visited her restaurant, she was now just as influential and had even had one of the officials ask for her hand as a concubine, however after a lesson from Mexi, no one dared mess with her again.

Following Tria's orders, she called the restaurant Sur, and many officials came here for their meetings because of discreet the rooms were designed.

"Madam Seti, the ministers have come again and wish to be in that room," said a newly hired attendant to Seti who was sitting in a lounging chaise in the backroom.

"Is that so? Is Ra Ashir with them?" she asked.

"Yes, Madam."

"You may go, I'll attend to them today."

"You have finally come," she murmured to herself and got up to attend to the ministers.

Meanwhile, somewhere thousands of miles away, Tria was seating under a blossom tree, leaning over Crei.

"I really like these sweets, I can't believe you made them," said Tria as she happily munched on the snacks in front of them.

"Of course I made them, and you're getting crumbs all over you," he said as he patted off her clothes.

"Shoo shoo! You're just trying to cop a feel," she laughed and said.

Crei became confused, 'cop a feel?', he wondered what that meant.

Tria laughed even harder at his confused look.

"It means you're trying...to do naughty things," she answered with a sly grin.

"Oh wifey, is that what you want? Don't forget who it was that took advantage of me that night," he answered.

"Gah!! you don't always have to bring it up!" she pouted, then said," besides you're my husband."

Crei became speechless at his wife shamelessness and was about to tease her but a shadow formed from the ground in front of them. Crei's brows furrowed and gestured the shadow into his palm.

"Your uncle and that God you found went to the Sun Land," he said after a while.

"Oh? Did they cause a ruckus? He didn't kill that prime minister did he?" she asked.

"Hm..no but Hoth turned him blind, and he is now seeking the priestess to heal him," he answered as he took a meaningful look at her.

"Haha, don't give me that look, I might heal him who knows? maybe....maybe not," she said and grinned.

Crei and Tria had both been aware of every event that happened in the Sun Land, as well the other Lands. Although Tria was taking a break, she knew her enemies weren't.
