Hey guys! Here's the next chapter to Moonlit Princess! And Reader Review Responses:
ShandyCandy- *uses author powers to bring father back* I'll be taking him. The plot calls. You can have this one though. *drops Joey's father* This one neglected his daughter and tried the same thing as Yugi & Heba's dad. And plot also calls for Vivian. So Bakura has to wait more. Surprised you didn't mention Mira standing up to and telling Vivian off.
GirlFish- Oh, sorry. I'm not sure either. You're right about Vivian. Mira...is a mystery. I do have a plan for her though.
Onto the Chapter!
Chapter 8
Heba finally cornered Atem.
"Is there a reason you've been watching me since I arrived?" She asked the prince.
"Have I?" Atem tried to fake ignorance. Heba glared at him.
"Don't try to pretend." She said. "Your brother has been watching my sister, even though she hasn't noticed she will soon."
"Oh."
"So are you going to tell me?" She asked.
"You are interesting?" Heba raised her eyebrow.
"How so?"
"Unlike other Noble girls, you haven't been throwing yourself at me."
"Am I supposed to?" Heba asked. "Because doing that would be annoying."
Atem looked interested now. "How do you know what it's like?" He asked.
"My father tried to marry Yugi and me off to other Noble's to increase his status." She explained. "It was the same thing over and over again."
Almost like my situation. Atem thought. "So why did you come here?" He asked.
"I was forced to."
Joey had started walking from her house to Yugi and Heba's to try and keep it in order. It wasn't the best, Joey admitted, but it was better than how it looked when she first arrived.
She was heading over today, when she felt a cold chill run up her spine. It was as if someone was stabbing Ice daggers in her back. She tried to shake it off, but it stayed with her the whole walk.
Seto didn't know what had possessed him to leave the palace, maybe the murderous auras surrounding Marik and Bakura. The hostility between Mira and Vivian, and the two new girls. But he was walking around, trying somewhat to hide his identity.
He was just about to head back to the palace, when a certain girl caught his eye.
She had blue eyes that were full of rebellion, and golden hair. She was walking towards a small street that was a little far away from the rest of egypt.
He saw her shiver, before shaking her head and continuing to walk.
Intersting... Seto thought.
The man handed a bag of gold coins over to the group of assassins. "Next time I come back, will you be ready?" He asked.
"Yes." The assassin replied. "I will."
"Good." The man replied. "I want the throne and my two little pawns will play their parts perfectly."
And that's it. Hope you enjoyed! Leave a review on your way out!
