Chapter 3
Dreaming of Love
Not too far from the Musketeer HQ, in the palace of France, sitting in his throne is the prince. He had tricolor hair of black, amethyst and blond with a little blond forelock hanging in the middle of his forehead. His eyes the same amethyst color and having an innocent look in them. Yugi is gazing out the window at the clear blue sky, thinking about how his love life could possibly be like.
Noticing the look in the prince's eyes, his royal adviser said when he approached the dreaming prince, "Pardon me for interrupting your thoughts, your majesty, but what are you thinking about?" Ryou was once a street urchin growing up. He was an orphan that made a living by stealing until Yugi met him at an young age, when Ryou was found beaten mercilessly and was leaning against a wall, just letting himself bleed to death when Yugi found him. Ever since their meeting, Ryou has been grateful for the prince and has requested he become his adviser and end up becoming Yugi's best friend.
Sighing, Yugi answered without tearing away from the beautiful sky, "My one true love. I know that the one my heart yearns for is out there."
Now curious, Ryou says, "Is it happen to be Princess Teana?"
The moment a certain princess is mentioned, Yugi immediately shook his head. "No way is it her!"
Knowing that he never actually like her in the beginning, Ryou said something else, "Well, do you know if your fantasy love is of royalty?"
Shaking his head, Yugi said with a smile, "Does it matter, Ryou?"
"You should know that for someone to court someone of your stature, they must be of royal blood." Becoming annoyed, Yugi leaves the throne room with Ryou right behind him. "Sooner or later you're going to have to choose someone, prince."
"But Ryou, I can't choose someone that I don't love."
"Honestly, you don't truly believe that your dream lover will just waltz through the door. Besides, how will you know that person is the one?"
Sighing as he thought about the possibilities, Yugi turned toward his friend and said as he approach a door leading to one of the gardens, "Trust me. I'll know when I see them, Ryou." And so, stepping outside into the garden, Yugi starts to wander around as he thought about love
Seeing the prince like this, Jonouchi says as he prepares to start the next song, "Our dear romantic prince deserves a romantic song."
Just around the corner, seeking you
Puppy love is tripping lightly into view
Hiding in the hedgerows
Sneaking up on tiptoes
Love's first kiss is blissfully
About to capture you
As Yugi walks around the garden with a couple of butterflies fluttering around him, the prince crosses paths with an old gardener who bows to the prince and Yugi bows back before continuing his walk with the butterflies right behind him.
Just around the corner wafting close
Love is creeping nearer than you might suppose
So sit still and wait now
Let love choose your fate now
Take a pause, don't run because
It's right behind you
Let love find you
Unknown to the love-struck prince, a small group of masked girls are following him while dragging a heavy safe, being sure that no one sees them doing so.
Young love
It's love, love, love, love, love
Love so lovely
What can you say to love
But love?
Later on, Yugi sees that the gardener had returned home where his loving wife awaited for him. Seeing how happy the couple are together, the prince walks away with a smile on his face toward the loving couple. Close to the palace, the masked girls waited for him to be by the steps with the safe.
Maybe on the rooftops, climbing high
Somewhere just above you, love is hovering by
Love is in a rush to
Smear you, smash you, smush you
Love will crush you into mush
When you're the bull's-eye, you'll get hit by
Young love
Your first, your only love
Love so.. lovely
How can you stand it so...
Just as Yugi was going inside when Ryou called for him, the prince saw that a heavy safe fell from a balcony above the steps. Seeing that they missed their target, one of the girls hit the younger member. However, when she got hit, she made a sound that was loud enough for the prince and the adviser to hear.
Looking up at the balcony just above them, only to see no one is there, Yugi looked back at the safe and became furious. Turning toward Ryou, Yugi said with a demanding tone, "Get Ushio. I need to speak with him."
Without hesitating, Ryou bowed, saying, "Yes your majesty." and left to call for the captain of the musketeers.
