Hey guys! Here's the next chapter of Daylight Queen! And now, Reader Review Responses:

InuYoiushi- Thank you! I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Amanda27A.g- She is. You don't have to worry about Vivian...after this chapter. It might just be a simple trial.

Guest- Thanks.

GirlFish- Hm... Fiona is power hungry enough to use a child and her own daughter. She might be using Mira's child as leverage. But she might not be. At this point, Fiona and Vivian aren't really working together anymore. Fiona thinks she has what she wants.

whitlaw123- Thank you!

Ern Estine 13624- Thank you! Yugi will, but something else has to be wrapped up first.

Zolata- Well...something happens in this chapter involving the two of them.

Onto the Chapter!

Chapter 21

Mira joined the group shortly after Yami finished his explanation.

"So you're not actually going to marry Yami?" Marik asked.

Mira shook her head in response. "I'm not interested in Yami. Only Allen." She looked at the prince. "I only want our trading to continue. Is that alright?"

Yami shrugged. "I'm the prince." He gestured to Atem sitting opposite of him. "He's the future ruler. Ask him."

"I have no problem with it." Atem replied.

"Thank goodness. That means I would have no further reason to be here." Mira looked down. "If I didn't have my mother here."

"Well, how long do we have till she's gone?"

"Once we're 'married' she'll probably go home." Mira rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Which won't happen."

Mira shook her head. "It will happen," she held up a hand the cries of indignation started. "But Yami and Yugi will be married long before that. Even if that doesn't work, Allen and I are already married. With any luck, the marriage would be null and void."

"That's good to know."

"Indeed." Mira stood slowly. "I think I'll head back to my room now. My mother' tired me out."

"We got it."

Yami stood. "I'll walk her back. Vivian's been watching her since the meeting. She's planning something."

"Look after her then." Bakura stood. "I've got to get Ryou back to the servants area. Vivian starts throwing fits when she sees Ryou."

"Understood." Atem and Heba left first, saying they had private business to attend to. They were followed by the two captains and the servant girls. Yugi left alone, jokingly teasing them about being alone together.

"Don't get any ideas."

"We won't."

She's right there. With him. It was sickening. Did they have to taunt her like that? Remind her of what she couldn't have? The blade in her hand felt cold...but powerful. She didn't want it to come to this, but if it got her what she wanted, she was willing to try.

They stopped at a room that she guessed was her's. He bowed to her and she curtsied in return. The waved and she went into the room and closed the door.

Now was her chance.

Mira closed her eyes as soon as her head hit the pillow. Everything had been building up on her almost pushing her to the breaking point. The reminder of Allen watching her soothed the woman's thoughts.

She subconsciously placed a hand on her stomach worried about her mother and Vivian. The fact that neither had approached her since the announcement made her suspicious.

Her door slowly opened and Mira's eyes opened, but she didn't move.

"I wish you hadn't come back." A familiar voice said.

Mira looked at the intruder.

"Vivian..."

"Why did you?! Everything was going perfectly! I was in a position of power! I was powerful!" Vivian screamed at the the knife still held above her head. "I was cared about! So why did you come back!"

Mira didn't get a chance to reply before the Noble swung at her.

Allen moved quickly to protect his wife. Nobody saw him move, but the flash of silver that was his knife was unmistakable. It knocked the knife out of Vivian's hand, sent her flying back, and in a second he had her pinned to the ground.

He looked at Mira. "Call the guards."

A/N: So who expected this? Allen's back in the picture and Vivian's going down. I had this planned for awhile.

And that's it! Hope you enjoyed! Leave a review on your way out!
