"Very well, then. Would you like a tour of my palace and grounds? Or do you have some other plans?"<br/>Achencheres spoke quietly. His eldest son and the young daughter? How will Nu-Antef act towards Sanura? Sanura was the least and of the least wife. He did not like females who did not stay put in their own place. But the messenger has requested this and a no nonsense tone. Nu-Antuf needed taken down a notch or two any ways, so why not let Pet-Ament do the job for him? Yes, that will do the boy more good than harm even tho he did sire a male within a year of marriage to his wife. Others need to be shown lessons as well. Perhaps that is the reason that the gods sent their messenger down to his kingdom.....yes that must be it. He will talk with Pet-Ament at another time about his sons. What else wil this mesenger be able to help me with? I should be more quiet and listen more, question more, inquire of the different ways of doing things.<br/><br/>Sanuara had her needle work and was working on it in her mother's garden. Her mother favored the god, Rebu who is a very vague god. Mother can say what she feels like with her god. But sanura liked Amen Ra best. The warmth of the sun and the light it provides is what Sanura like most about her god. She like Baset the cat god as well. Cats made her feel warm and protected. They gave her company when no one else would. Mother forbids Aradia to be in her garden or her quarters. Merit hated cats. She thought that they were sneaky and underhanded. They were of no use to Mother or to  Merit. And so poor Aradia stayed in Sanura's wing.<br/><br/>"Mother, when will I be allowed to have a garden of my own?" Sanura asked politely.<br/><br/>"Don't let her have one yet, dearest mother." Merit spoke haughtily.<br/>"She only wants one because she happened to be out and met a so called messenger of the gods. I actually doubt that he is a messenger of anyone."<br/><br/>"Hush,  Merit. That is one of the things about you that has ran off so many suitors. You must keep that sharp tongue or you will end up in the monastery as a nun. You are not far off that mark right now child." Mother Hatsu spoke sharply to her eldest daughter.<br/>"Where is your needle work any ways? You won't have much to show for your dowry chest at this rate."<br/><br/>Merit just shrugged her shoulders and pouted as she sat down.<br/><br/>"I shall be a grand Queen one day and have no need of doing needle work, Mother Hatsu."<br/><br/>"You are not going to make a match at this rate. Yes, Sanura, I think that it is time to start your seclusion. I'll select a gardener for you and he will make a wonderful garden for you to sit in instead of wandering the sands so much.." Mother Hatsu spoke calmly to her youngest.<br/>"At least you will have a wonderful dowry chest to present when the time comes."<br/><br/>"Thank you very much Mother Hatsu. It will help to pass my time." Sanura spoke quietly as she kept her eyes on her needle work as a good daughter should.
