It had been a week since Doom had left for Aquilonia. Vashite had just begun to get used to him not being there. She wanted to ask the princess what Doom had meant by managing his home, but every since Vashite attacked her, she always avoided contact with her. Feeling confused and stressed she thought. He never told me exactly what he wanted me to do! I'll just figure it out myself.
So Vashite put the servants to work cleaning and making sure Doom's pets were fed. She also assigned them certain duties to do throughout the week. She told them that they were to rotate out starting the following week after. Since many of the kitchen workers left to assist Doom on his trip, she ordered other servants to help maintain the kitchen. There was no way in hell she would ever set foot in that part of the house. She also made sure to have her favorite cook to keep her meals separate from where the other food was prepared. She didn't want to risk cross contamination with the human meat they ate.
One of Doom's servants named Nero stayed behind to help advise her on his orders. He didn't know much about Vashite, except she was soon to be Doom's wife. What he did learn from the other servants, was that Doom was very jealous and particular about her. He would be make sure to be careful around her to avoid Doom's wrath. He had just arrived from the Serpent Tower in Zamora a month before Doom left.
Later that evening in the courtyard, Nero informed her that she was to help with Set's weekly sacrifices starting next week. "Lord Doom has personally ordered me to tell you that you be required to address his followers in the worship of Set."
Vashite looked at him wild eyed. "What!? I don't know what to say! I have never given a religious speech before. I hope I won't have to kill anyone! How could Doom just leave me with a responsibility like this!?"
Nero thought carefully before responding, "I shall bear responsibility for performing the sacrifices. All you have to do is lead them in prayer and sermonize them on the wonders of Set's grace. Doom gave me precise orders that you shall be allowed to leave before the sacrifices take place."
He continued on, "The praise and sacrifices to Set and Doom shall not cease in Doom's absence. My Lord wants to prepare you for you new upcoming position as the High Priestess of Set. He has been planning on demoting the princess to the High Priestess only second to you."
"I can't believe this! I could see if I was groomed by him over time to take over as High Priestess, but he never once mentioned this to me. I'll do it, but I hope I don't embarrass myself." she frowned.
"Miss Vashite, don't worry. You will do fine. Even if you don't do well the first time, you will get better over time. You are going to be the queen very soon and the title of High Priestess comes along with that." he assured her.
After that conversation, she asked him to give her some paper and something to write with. He provided her with papyrus paper, ink, and a reed pen. She examined it for a while and remembered back in school she learned that ancient peoples used papyrus paper. While she brainstormed some information for her speech, Nero watched her.
"I didn't know you knew how to read and write." he commented while watching her struggle with the reed pen.
She looked up at him with surprise from her writing, "Of course I know how to read and write!"
"In the tribe I am from, women aren't allowed to learn reading and writing. It's not like that all over, but in many cities. It's rare." he said,
"Well, I'm not from Hyperborea. Where I'm from males and females are both allowed to learn." She said while looking back down at her writing.
He nodded and left her to concentrate on her speech.
It was evening before Vashite finished writing her speech. Now all she had to do was wait for the time to come to give it. This way she would have plenty of time to review and revise it. She was already irritated and restless without him being there. I am bored out of my fucking mind! There's not much to do for entertainment besides get high, drink, and party. I'd rather do all that with my man here. No internet, no television, nothing modern! I have to hear something from him soon!
