Chapter 20
Yugi felt like she was hit with bricks when she woke up. The last thing she had remembered was walking with Prince Yami in the garden, then she woke up here.
She sat up, and immediately regretted it. She winced a little in pain, putting a hand on her head.
"Oh, Lady Yugi." Isis appeared. "You've woken up. And at such a good moment,too."
"What- what do you mean, Lady Isis?" Yugi asked, not sure if she wanted to hear the answer.
"The one who attacked you- The assassin - he was caught. We were waiting for you to recover so we could have the trial." Isis explained.
It all came rushing back to Yugi. She tried to stand. "Is everyone else okay?" She asked worried.
"Physically, yes. Mentally...not so much." Isis replied, calmly helping the girl sit down. "Everyone was worried, most of all your sister and Prince Yami."
"The prince was worried about me?" Yugi was shocked. I can't believe it.
"Yes. I believe we should inform him and your sister. My pupil may be able to go and tell them." Ryou appeared behind the priestess.
"Oh, Ryou." Yugi smiled.
"Lady Yugi." Ryou bowed respectfully. "It is nice to know that you are awake."
"Thank you."
"Ryou would you please go tell Lady Heba and Prince Yami that Yugi is awake?" Isis asked her.
"Yes." Ryou left the room.
"As for you," Isis turned to her patient. "No sudden movements. You just woke up." She said. "You may sit up, but no moving around."
"Yes Isis."
Yami had been absorbed in his thoughts enough to the point where he didn't try to hide from Vivian. His worry about Yugi had affected him in a way no other lady had. As soon as he had heard that the assassin that hurt Yugi had been caught, he had wanted to execute the assassin as soon as possible. The only thing that stopped him was that his father had told him that they would hold a trial, but only after Yugi had woken up.
He had been laying down in his room when he heard a small, almost silent knock at the door.
"Enter." Yami was surprised when Ryou entered the room. "What is it Ryou?" The second prince asked.
"Isis wanted me to inform you of Lady Yugi's condition." Yami snapped to attention.
"How is she?" He asked, panic gripping his soul. "Is she ill? Is she..." He couldn't even say the words.
"No, Prince." Ryou shook her head. "In fact, Lady Yugi has woken up. Isis thought you may like to-" Yami ran past her and down to Isis' room.
Heba wasn't surprised when Yami burst through the door. What she was surprised about was how he seemed to relax as soon as he saw her sister. She smiled inwardly. She knew what the prince was thinking and feeling.
The assassin was chained up against the wall, ignoring the guards trying to taunt him. He knew the only reason they would insult, harm, or taunt him was because they knew he couldn't fight back. He was sure if he could fight, they would not be talking so proudly.
In fact, the only ones he wouldn't fight would be the Captains of the Guards and the priest that controlled the magician. He knew what they could do to him even if he had an advantage. He had fought Bakura and Marik at one point, even though he had been younger and never spoke of the experience to anyone. Not even to the only friend he ever had.
"Good for you." One guard turned to him. "Lady Yugi woke up. Your trial is soon."
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed. Leave a review on your way out!
