AN - This could get a bit complicated. Just remember this.
Yami=Prince, has a girlfriend, Lady Tea. Best friend is Seto Kaiba. Yugi=Pauper, girlfriend is Serenity, best friend is Joey.
OK, if anyone gets confused just let me know.
"Yami!" Called Seto from behind the door. "Come on Yami, you will be late."
"I don't care!" Grumbled Yami, letting his chief adviser, Seto, into his room. "I hate these formal events, and my father knows it. That's why he arranges so many of them." Yami said, looking at himself in the mirror.
"I'm sure that that is not true sire." Seto said, facing Yami and adjusting the prince's crown so that it lay straight on his head. "Now, there will be lots of people there tonight."
"All false and shallow no doubt." Groaned Yami, pushing Seto away.
"Perhaps, but there will be..um.laymen at the party also. You remember, every year when your family holds this celebration for your parent's anniversary they have to invite twenty townsfolk by law."
"Oh yes, the commoners. They're always fun to watch." Sniggered Yami. "Not knowing which fork to use first at the dinner table, and drink wine as if it were ale. Oh yes, I enjoy it all the more when I have commoners to laugh at." Yami had developed a callous, pretentious air in his years of being brought up in high society.
"Now sire, you may think that but you should never say it." Seto scolded. Having watched Yami become so self-centred Seto found it hard not to reprimand Yami for his snobbish words, after all Yami was the first in line to the throne.
"Well, lets go and get this charade over with." Said Yami disdainfully. He walked out of his chambers with Seto falling into place behind him. As soon as they left the chamber they were flanked by four guards to escort them to the main hall.
"Yami!" Called Tea, seeing him at the end of the corridor. Yami waited impatiently as his girlfriend caught up with them. "Sorry I', a bit late, I couldn't decide what to wear." She said, openly fishing for a compliment.
"Yes, I have that problem too." Said Yami, walking onwards to the main hall. Tea knew that Yami wasn't in the best of moods, and took her place next to Seto.
"I'll say it for him." Kaiba said, nodding at Yami. "You look lovely."
"I wish that he could tell me that." Sighed Tea.
"He thinks it. He just has a lot on his mind right now. He and his father are not on the best of terms at the moment, and you know how he detests these events." Said Kaiba as they entered the Great Hall in which the festivities were to be held. They followed Yami in silence as he crossed to where his parents were seated on their thrones. He bowed before kissing his mother's hand and taking a seat next to his father.
"Try looking remotely happy son." Said his father, Raha, out of the corner of his mouth.
Yami plastered his face in a smirk.
"Yami!" Scolded his mother, Nephertina, frowning at her son. "And Raha, you should know better!" She turned her frown into a smile as Tea and Seto approached. Seto bowed deeply before taking his place behind Yami's throne, where the advisers always stood. Tea curtseyed and smiled at the royal family, before leaving to take her place among the other nobility that milled around the high table. She smiled sweetly at everyone who spoke to her, looking dignified and serene in a long blue gown.
"You would do well to marry her Yami." Muttered Raha. Yami looked at his father crossly. Despite their differences in personality Raha and Yami were very similar. They both had black hair, Raha now wore his short, but as a teenage he too had worn his hair in spikes. They also had the same crimson eyes.
"Raha! Must I spend all night stopping you two from bickering?" Sighed Nephertina as she saw the angered look that Yami gave his father. Nephertina was extremely pretty, with red hair and gold highlights, these features Yami took from his mother, and lovely hazel eyes. Even as she grew older she retained a hint of her former beauty. It was well known that when she had been younger she had been the most beautiful woman around, with men travelling great distances to ask for her hand in marriage. Yet Lady Nephertina had fallen for the Prince of Egypt, Raha, and they were soon married.
"I won't bicker mother." Promised Yami. "If you will permit me to leave this party early this time."
"Yami, you must do your duty as the Prince." Growled Raha.
"Darling!" Said Nephertina tightly. "Yami." She whispered forcefully. "If you faithfully promise to be on your best behaviour tonight, then I will permit you to leave the party an hour before it finishes."
"An hour and a half and I promise not to bicker with father for the entire evening." Bargained Yami.
"Done!" Said Nephertina, happy at their bargain. "I will have to tell our guests that you are tired and have a lot to do tomorrow. But if you break your promise Yami, then you must see this party through."
"I won't fail you mother." Smiled Yami. "I shall be on my best behaviour, as you wish. I will even consent to smiling."
"That's my boy." She said, turning her head to smile at some guests who had just arrived. "Tell me Raha, which laymen did you invite this time?"
"Ah." Raha clicked his fingers and a tall adviser walked forward and presented him with a scroll."
"A few servants. The mayor and is family. And a family from the village, the Moutos. An old man and his grandson apparently. Oh and a family called the Wheelers. A mother and two children." Raha read off of the list.
"Lovely, Yami you might find that some of them are your age. How lovely!" Said Nephertina delightfully.
"Yes, that would be interesting. Three people of my age. And townsfolk too! How exciting." Said Yami, managing to hide his sarcasm. 'Well.' He thought. 'At least I can have some fun laughing at those commoners trying to fit in here. Even some of the nobility look out of place. I shall enjoy meeting this Mouto and the Wheelers.'
AN - Oh no, Yami is so evil. I honestly didn't mean him to turn out like that. I promise I will try to make him change and become a better person later! Read and Review please.
