I do not own Yugioh, enjoy! [JAPANESE]

Chapter 3

Solomon wasn't surprised to find his Grandson, with his two most trusted servants, in the Royal Library going through books. He had Egyptian Marital Customs on his lap at the current moment. He had Malik looking through Egyptian Servant and Slave Customs. Mira was going through Egyptian Manners and Customs. There were other Egyptian books lying around, but it looked as if he had already received all the information he could from those books as they were placed on their fronts not backs.

Yugi glanced up when Solomon walked in, but didn't provide his Grandpa with anymore acknowledgement than that. Solomon walked over to an empty armchair and sat in it. He waited for five minutes before Yugi spoke up.

"That wasn't a proposal, but I know I've signed myself a one way ticket to Egypt anyway," Yugi said bluntly making Solomon laugh.

"Your Grace, what is the matter?" Malik asked.

"Nothing friend, I was just thinking the same thing back in the throne room," Solomon responded still chortling slightly.

"What are you going to tell my siblings?" asked Yugi conversationally.

"I'm not sure; I'm still deciding how to phrase it," Solomon said wearily.

"Well you had best think quickly your Grace, here comes their highnesses Jounouchi and Honda," Mira said pointing in the direction behind Solomon.

Solomon started, and turned around just as his third oldest and youngest grandchildren came up from behind him. Jounouchi had shaggy blonde hair and eyes the color of freshly made honey. Honda had brown hair that came to a point on the top of his head, and deep rich chocolate brown eyes. Both boys stood in front of Yugi with their arms crossed. Yugi looked up, before returning his attention to his book.

"Yes? May I help you?" Yugi questioned still reading the book in his hands.

"What's this we hear about you moving to Egypt?" Jou asked in a rough voice.

"It's inevitable Jou; I opened my big mouth before taking in my surroundings first. I released myself from one engagement only to land myself in another. I think I have anyway. In any case; I assume I will be courted in Egypt or here before I leave, but I will be courted by the Crown Prince Yami Sennen of Egypt," Yugi explained flipping through several pages before stopping and becoming silent.

"Prince Yugi?" Malik asked for his attention.

"Hm?" Yugi responded looking up at him.

"It says here that Egyptian slaves are treated worse than dung, but servants are treated with more respect," Malik said fingering a paragraph in his book.

"Are they treated as equals?" Yugi asked curiously.

"No, but they're treated better than slaves," Malik responded shaking his head.

"Hm, then it seems I shall have to treat you both as friends in private. That'll be a pain, but something I suppose I will have to get used to," Yugi said with a sigh looking back down at the book in his hands.

"So you mean that you found something that will allow us to come with you?" Mira asked excitedly.

"No, but regardless of whether I do or not, you're still coming with me. The three of us are a package deal. The Prince either accepts this, or I will not be travelling to Egypt with him, it's that simple," Yugi stated.

"How exactly do you expect to pull that off Yugi?" Honda asked.

"How I pull most things off," Yugi said looking up at him with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"It will be fun to see how long he lasts before he caves to your will Yugi," A new voice spoke up from behind Mira.

"It shall be interesting. So I take it by all of these Egyptian books you have yourself a new engagement, and Lady Rebecca is no longer your betrothed," A different voice asked from behind Malik.

"Hello Mai and Otogi," Yugi said as everyone but Mira and he jumped.

Mai was a tall blonde woman with sharp violet eyes. She was known to entrance many men, but only one had been able to entrance her. His name was Odion Ishtar, and although he had been her personal servant at one time, he had long since become her husband.

Otogi was also tall, only he had raven black hair and captivating green eyes. He had been trying to court Lady Rebecca for the past three years, two of which Yugi had been engaged to the girl. It hadn't really helped Solomon that Yugi encouraged Otogi to flirt with her whenever she was around either. Though, now it seemed that Solomon had no choice but to allow Otogi to marry Lady Rebecca who was four years younger than him.

"Prince Yami has yet to propose, but I expect he will in the next day or so," Solomon said matter of fact.

"Yes, which means you will have to sit two seats below me instead of one Honda. I shall have my usual seat of course, but since Prince Yami is thought to be courting me now, he will sit on my direct left," Yugi said in a tone that again left no room for argument.

"But!" Honda protested.

Yugi looked sharply up at him. His eyes were daring him to protest the traditions of the Japanese culture. Honda looked away as he mumbled something under his breath.

"Sorry?" Yugi asked.

"I said never mind," Honda said louder. Yugi nodded and closed his book.

"Mira, Malik, please escort me back to my chambers, I wish to make myself presentable for our foreign guests," Yugi said standing up and walking from the room, Mira and Malik hurrying after him.

Once the door was closed everyone turned to Solomon. Yugi was acting abnormal, something he did only if he felt as if he had been greatly insulted. Everyone was wondering when and by whom he had been insulted. Otogi, being the oldest, asked.

"What's got his feathers all ruffled up?" Otogi asked Solomon.

"Ah, that would be Crown Prince Yami. He called Yugi a gift. Though, in his defense, he was unaware that Yugi could not only understand him, but speak his language very well," Solomon responded with a smile tugging at his lips.

"So, he insulted him right back by speaking very formally, and fluidly his own language?" Jou asked.

"Precisely."

"Heh, that's almost as bad as when Vivian from China called him 'a prize she intended to win'," Mai said laughing slightly.

Otogi motioned for both of his servants to come over. He told each of them something, and they rushed off to do their jobs. Otogi looked completely happy as he too made his way to his chambers, with his family just staring at his odd behavior.

"We should get ready for dinner with our foreign guests; we must keep up appearances after all,"

"Grandpa, may I invite Seto?" Jou asked.

"Of course you may invite your fiancé, and Honda I suggest you do the same," Solomon said looking at the two firmly. Both nodded with grins on their faces and ran out, leaving their servants to groan and run after them. Mai laughed at the display, and also left with her own personal servants trailing behind.

;p;p;p;p

Knock-knock.

Yami groaned and got up to answer the door. When he opened it, he thought for sure he was looking at one of his best friends Marik, but upon closer inspection found this person way too innocent looking to be Marik. Marik's look alike bowed respectfully to him before speaking.

"The third Prince in line for the throne, but forth in line of birth, wishes that you would sit on his immediate left at all meal times during your stay here, Crown Prince Yami. To not heed this wish would be a great insult to my Master the Third Prince Yugi," He said in an extremely polite voice, before bowing again, and leaving. Yami was stunned that he new Khemet so well.

"And here I thought that he didn't like me," Yami said closing the door with a wicked smirk on his face.
