--Daily Life of the Royal Family Member…Almost—

At the castle, all was silent and peaceful. Doves cooed near a window.

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!"

Shards of glass flew out as an object, which looked like a crown, was thrown out. The doves immediately took flight into the sky.

Inside the room, a man roughly sat down on his chair. Another man, who looked a bit older, was standing next to him.

"Brother, please" he pleaded. The other man sighed.

"Oh Akunadin…I just can't take this anymore" he said.

"Please don't stress yourself brother…The prince will find a…wife as soon as he can…" the man, Akunadin, cautiously said. The other man sighed and lay back in his chair, his hand resting on his forehead and covering his eyes.

"I just…I just don't know what to do anymore…He's…He's refused every girl that he has seen…I don't know what he wants anymore…" he wearily said. Akunadin was silent and slightly sweating.

"Is something the matter Akunadin?" the man asked. Akunadin gulped, his hood shadowing his eyes.

"N-Nothing at all brother" he quickly said, sweating. His brother looked suspiciously at him.

"What are you hiding Akunadin?" he asked. Akunadin twitched.

"I'm not hiding anything king Aknamkanon!! What made you think of that dear brother?" he shakily said.

"For one you are sweating. Another you keep twitching. And you never call me your 'dear brother'" the king, Aknamkanon, stated. Akunadin sighed, his shoulder sagging a bit, for he could not hold it much longer.

"Well…I don't think I can hide this from you anymore longer…Besides sooner or later you're going to know anyways…" he sighed.

"What information would that be?" Aknamkanon asked. Akunadin gulped.

"Well…the reason that your son has refused every girl is because he doesn't want a wife…" he slowly said. Aknamkanon was confused.

"What do you mean Akunadin?? He needs to find a wife in order to be king after me…" Aknamkanon cautiously said.

"W-Well…that's the problem…" Akunadin stuttered.

"He doesn't want a wife…He wants a…"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Akunadin's hood was off and his long gray hair went back as his brother shouted. When he was done, he smoothed his hair down and put his hood back over his head. Aknamkanon wearily sighed, leaned back into his chair, and placed his hand over his eyes.

"You knew of this all along?" he asked after a silence. Akunadin nodded. Aknamkanon sighed.

"And I suppose Seto was in this as well?"

"W-Well…he kind of is…but that the fact that he was in this was also because…" he didn't need to finish his sentence. Aknamkanon gaped at him.

"Are you serious? Both of our sons…?" His head hung low, gloomed.

"How are we going to have an heir?" Akunadin shrugged.

"Who knows, brother…Who knows…"

A young boy yawned. His wild tri-colored hair was neatly combed though it did him no good since his hair was spiky and always neat and a golden crown was rested across his forehead with an eye in the center, signaling that he was the prince. He opened his tired and bored dark amethyst eyes and propped his head onto one of his tanned hands. Another boy around his age was sitting on the bed next to him. His loose brown hair flew left and right as he shook his head. He looked at him with his icy cold blue eyes. His headpiece was resting on a table nearby. He sighed.

"Seto…I'm bored" the prince yawned. The other kid, Seto, sighed.

"I know that because that's the 100th time you've said that in my face!" he growled and sighed.

"You think father knows about it now? Considering how the palace shook after hearing his roar…" the prince said.

"That would probably be the only thing that he'd roar at" Seto said and leaned against a pillow. The prince was laying on his stomach, propping his head on one of his hand, his other hand dangling at the side of the bed. The prince sighed. They heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in" the prince called. The door opened and one of the six high priests came in. His headpiece had a circle in the middle and two pieces at the side, holding the circle in place. A short curtain of white cloth ran down to his shoulders from his headpiece. Behind his headpiece, he had soft, short light brown hair. He had blue eyes that contained no readings of emotion. He wore…Must I describe it? He bowed.

"My prince…You wished to see me?" he inquired.

"Yes…Mahado, stand up…I told you to not do any of those stuff when there is no one around!" he slightly scowled. Mahado bowed again.

"My apologies, your highness…" he said.

"Atem" Mahado looked up, slightly confused.

"I told you to call me Atem!" the prince said. Mahado bowed again.

"My apologies…Atem" Mahado said. Atem smiled.

"Hey!! Let's go meet Mana!!" he suggested. Seto snapped his head to his cousin's direction.

"Say what?!!!! I am not meeting that stupid, idiotic, bubbly, happy-go-lucky, amateur magician girl!!!!" he yelled. Atem frowned.

"Why do you always call her names?" Atem asked, noticing the slight twitch in Mahado when Seto remarked at his student yet his face still read no expression. Seto slightly glared at his cousin.

"Cause I want to…Besides it fits her perfectly…" he said. Atem rolled his eyes.

"Whatever…Hey Mahado! Where's Mana?"

"I would think she had skipped my classes and gone into hiding again" Mahado answered. Atem grinned.

"Then let's go find her!"
