A/N: I'm on time! Yes another week another chapter but I'm afraid updates will be slower now, it's Exam time so yea... On the bright side, things start to really pick this chapter! So Enjoy!

The meeting went by smoothly; the deals were made and confirmed. By the end prince was bored out of his mind, while Mahaad was quite indifferent considering that he had been to quite a few meetings, whereas Seto actually enjoyed himself. He soon realized that he was a natural at these meetings. After the meeting the lord went to get ready for his departure that next day. After he had done his preparations he went to seek out the Pharaoh.

"Your highness I can't thank you enough for your kindness," the lord said.

"It was no problem at all, feel free to visit again, oh and if there is a problem with the trading processes don't hesitate to contact me as soon as possible." The Pharaoh replied.

"But your highness there is one more thing I must ask of you,"

"And what is it you wish to have?"

"…Your son, I wish to take him back to the empire with me."

The two men silenced at the sound of a gasp and a clunk as a cup dropped to floor. They turned to around to see Isis standing at the door a look of horror on her face.

"The prince…you wish to take our Little One from us?!" Isis asked.

"No, no I couldn't possibly take the prince, he has a duty to do here I know by the way he smiles that he will be a good king and I can't take that away from Egypt. Mahaad is very powerful and is quite knowledgeable but I can't take him either because he is much needed here besides my people aren't very fond of magicians,"

"That's all well but you said you wish to take someone…"

"Yes, I wish to take Seto, pardon my saying your highness but he's really wasted here, I mean with all that talent and he's working with the servants, we could really use someone like him in the Greek empire."

"I don't know…"

"But your highness, think about it would be an amazing opportunity for the boy to expand his horizons!"

"You're right, but in the end it is Seto's decision,"

"What's my decision Baba?" Seto asked as he glanced at Isis for an answer.

"So what are you going to do?" Isis asked Seto as he paced his chamber.

"I'm not so sure Okhti, I mean I'd love to go and explore the new empire, think of the possibilities! The kind of knowledge I can gain!"

"So you're leaving then Akhti?"

"I don't want to leave you all! Truth be told you are my family, I have no one else in this world except for the people here…I'm just so confused!"

"I'm sure you'll find the answer in time, but if you don't mind I think Mahaad should know about this…"

"You are right he might able to help me,"

"Then I will take your leave Akhti," Isis said leaving the room.

Aknadin smiled to himself, Seto, leaving? What a wonderful opportunity that I cannot miss! It seems like it is my time to step in! He laughed to himself.

Mana was running down the halls at record breaking speed. "Hey! Stupid prince boy! Open the Stupid door!"

"What's up Mana?" the prince said with sleepy eyes.

"This is important stupid! Seto Akhti is leaving!"

"What? Why is he leaving?" the prince said wide awake now.

"He's going with the lord back to the Greeks Mahaad and Isis were talking about it!"

The prince didn't hesitate he ran as fast he could to find Seto.

"Well, well, well, thinking of leaving are you?" Aknadin said walking into Seto's chamber.

"I, umm don't think I will…" Seto said as he sat down on his bed look at the floor.

"Oh really now? I thought you'd jump at the opportunity,"

"What do you mean," Seto said narrowing his eyes.

"There are so many possibilities, new people and new places! I mean it's a chance to prove yourself after all,"

"I don't need to prove anything!" Seto said now standing face to face with Aknadin.

"Well then I guess I'll enjoy watching you waste yourself, I was always right about you, you'll always be a coward." Bingo! Aknadin said turning away from Seto to leave.

"But why...?"

"I'm only trying to give some advice trust me your leaving will do good to everyone," he chuckled darkly to himself and left.

Seto sat down on his bed and buried his face in his hands.

I have to do it; I have to go it's the only way…

The prince made it to Seto's room with Mana close behind him only to find it empty.

"He must be in the throne room; in fact everyone must be there," Mana said urgently.

And so they were off again.

Everyone was gathered in the throne room waiting for Seto to arrive.

"Have you made your decision my son?" the Pharaoh asked calmly.

Seto walked up to the Pharaoh and took big breath as he handed the Pharaoh the rod.

The prince was running out of breath. He had to get there quickly, he had to change Seto's mind. The prince could see the doorway to the throne room it was so close and yet so far. He pushed himself to run faster down the never ending corridor. With every step closer to the throne room, the prince could feel is heart pound to the beat of his footsteps. Dum, Dum, Dum…

Seto stood up tall to face the Pharaoh who could see the fire burning in his eyes. Shadah and Kairm looked down. Isis grabbed Mahaad's arm and squeezed it while Mahaad bit his lip. Everyone knew what Seto was going to say before he would say it aloud. Aknadin merely had bored expression on his face. All this drama for nothing, just say it and get out of here!

"Yes Baba," Seto said solemnly, "I'm leaving."

They all turned to the sound of footsteps. There, standing at the doorway was the prince; the corner of his eyes began to fill with tears as he croaked his words,

"Why, Akhti? Why…?"

A/N: Drama BOMB! (Don't kill me!)
