By the time they got home it was dinner time, and all Yugi would do was stay in her room and admire the ring on the necklace. It was gold with two crimson jewels and a diamond in the center. Around the rest of the ring were swirling designs, and Yugi couldn't help but trace them over and over and over again. Malik, Marik, and Mariku scurried up to her, curious as to what had the girl's attention. Yugi giggled and pet each of them on the head.
"I met someone in the market today." Yugi began. "He bought my mother's bracelet for me when I couldn't afford it. He gave me this and told me to remember him. As if I could forget, his crimson eyes were so...I don't know, but I hope I'll be able to see him again." Yugi sighed dreamily. Today was definitely awesome.

Aknamkanon stared at his son thoughtfully. Said son seemed to be in a dreamland, and was paying no attention to the meeting at hand.
"Atemu." Aknamkanon said sternly, stopping the meeting. Atemu hummed in acknowledgement. "Do you have anything to say?" Atemu shook his head, the dreamy look never leaving his crimson eyes. He saw guard Bakura smirk and whisper something to High Priest Seth, a tall man with short brown hair and colbalt blue eyes that delivered a harsh glare when necessary.
"Cousin, did something happen in town?" Seth asked Atemu with a small smirk. Atemu snapped out of the daydream and glared at both Seth and Bakura.
"That's none of your business."
"It would explain why your not paying attention." Simone, Aknamkanon's advisor, said.
"He found someone in the town today," Bakura said, evil smirk and all across his face. Atemu's glare intensified on the guard, and if looks could kill, Bakura would've died a horrible death.
"What's her name?" Aknamkanon asked, his mind far, far away from what the meeting had previously been about. It was silent for several seconds as the prince thought, and all who were present stared at him eagerly. Then Atemu opened his mouth.
"I never asked for her name." Several groans emitted through the courtroom. The prince and his forgetfulness were famous in the palace, and it wasn't a surprise that he had forgotten to ask.
"Can you spot her in a crowd of girls?" Simone asked.
"Yes."
"Tch. With your forgetfulness who knows." Seth said. Atemu stood up, chair scraping the floor, and his crimson eyes narrowed in a harsh glare that even surprised Aknamkanon.
"You tell me when you see her innocent and expressive purple eyes, her pure soul that shows kindness to even the worst of criminals, and her beautiful hair that you won't be able to spot her in a million girls." He almost shouted before turning and leaving, and everyone could tell he was going to his room as he turned right before the doors slammed shut. Seth blinked a couple times, the only way you could tell he was shocked.
"Well, now we know that our prince is going to be lovesick all day tomorrow." Simone said, earning questioning looks from everyone except Aknadin, Aknamkanon's brother.
"He's just like his father." Aknadin commented casually, earning a half glare from the Pharaoh.
"Let's just continue the meeting." Aknamkanon said, and everyone left the subject alone.
For the moment.

"Yugi!"
"Yugi!"
"Yugi!"
That's what Yugi woke to every morning she slept in, which was at least three times a week. She sighed and grabbed the ring-necklace in her hand as she walked over to her mirror, putting it on. She brushed her hair to make it look presentable, and then began to head downstairs, as to not keep her stepmother and stepsisters waiting.
"Yugi!"
"Yugi!"
"Yugi!"
Yugi entered the dining hall and bowed lowly.
"Go on and do the laundry, then sweep the floors, feed the animals, dust everything, and do the dishes. When you are done come back and I will give you more chores." Mai said dismissively, and Yugi bowed again before going to do just that. Yugi was busy the whole day, not a single interruption from anyone or anything, and she was quite happy about it. It meant that she was doing everything perfectly.

Aknamkanon entered his son's room. Said son was looking out the window and into the rising son, the dreamy yet longing look never leaving his face, In his hand was a purple flower and around his neck was the necklace Yugi had given him. The pharaoh walked over, and was soon standing next to his love stricken son.
"What am I supposed to do, father?" Atemu asked after a moments silence, twiddling the flower in his hand.
"I do have a few ideas, but you should come up with it. She's your girl, you have to chase her." Aknamkanon said with a laugh. Atemu pouted before his face became a thoughtful one.
"What if we were to host a ball, and invite every girl in the land?" Atemu asked. Aknamkanon smiled.
"That is a wonderful plan, son. But, promise me that you'll introduce me to her before you kiss."
"Father!" Aknamkanon laughed before patting his embarrassed son on the back.
"I'll go tell the court of you decision. Dose next week sound like a good time for the ball?" Atemu shook his head.
"Tomorrow, or the day after that, but not later than that." Aknamkanon sighed. Yes, his son was just like him.
"Ok, but if anyone asks, it was your idea." The Pharaoh said jokingly. Atemu rolled his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face none-the-less.
"Thanks, father."
"Your Welcome." And the Pharaoh then left the room rubbing his head. He could already feel the headache he was going to get from the council from this. It was worth it, though.
He wanted to see his grandchildren before he was Mummified.
