Hey guys! Here's the next chapter to Moonlit Princess. And Reader Review Responses:
JaytheAnimeLover4EVER- That's good. I'm glad you liked it.
ShandyCandy- I warned you, Hikaris. I was going to make it a bit sadder, but I figured it might get to scary. By the way, sorry Bakura.
GirlFish- Yep. What was in that bag was not pretty.
DragonFire Princess- Thanks! They might.
FreakyAnimeFanGirl- I did mention the name a while back. I just thought it suited him. I won't say it was a servered head, more like three. And it was his family's.
Ern Estine 13624- Thanks!
InuYoiushi- Thanks!
Onto the Chapter!
Chapter 27
Ryou knocked on the door to the pharaoh's room before opening it slowly. Aknamkanon was a kind ruler, but when he was angry or irritated it wasn't pretty.
"Yes?" Aknamkanon looked at the servant girl. "Oh, Ryou. Can I help you with something?"
"Yes...about the attacker," Ryou replied. "I went to tell Lord Muto about it, but he wasn't there."
"That doesn't seem strange."
"But he hasn't been in his room since you ended the trial." Ryou continued. "And I also found these stains." She handed the stained fabric to him.
Aknamkanon studied the fabric before realizing something.
"Ryou, where did you find this?" He asked again.
"In Lord Muto's room, Pharaoh." Ryou replied.
"I should have known something was wrong." Aknamkanon muttered to himself. He turned to Ryou. "Thank you, Ryou. Will you tell Lady Yugi, Heba, and everyone else the trial will resume soon?"
"Yes." Ryou left the room.
By the time Yugi finished telling everyone what had happened to the assassin, they all agreed that Allen wasn't to blame for the assassination attempt. Even Yami and Heba, who had wanted him to die earlier, had transferred their hatred to the one that had forced him to kill. Joey looked like she was about to throw up.
"Everyone," Ryou walked into the room. Bakura silently walked over to the white haired girl and pulled her close. Ryou pretended not to notice. " Pharaoh Aknamkanon said that the trial will resume soon."
"Thanks." Ryou nodded.
"Also, Yugi, Heba," She looked at the two females. "Your father seemes to have gone missing."
He could not believe he got caught. A simple plan got messed up because of that stupid boy! He sighed. He couldn't blame anyone but himself even though he wanted to.
"Hey." A guard looked at him. "Are you awake?"
"..." The man just glared.
"Well, get ready. Your trial is soon."
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed. Leave a review on your way out!
Merry Christmas.
