Chapter 30
At the verdict only a few showed up. Yugi and Heba were absent due to the revelation of their father's fate. Yugi was sobbing into her sister's shoulder. Heba would have cried, too, but she just couldn't right now. Someone had to be strong. Joey was with them along with Malik and Ryou.
Even though she had wanted to hear the verdict on Allen and the other guy, Seto had forced Joey out, telling her the two girls would need comfort.
"I'll tell you what happened when it's over." Seto had told her.
It wasn't Lord Muto's killer that was hard to find a punishment for, rateer it was the boy that had been kidnapped and raised by him. Aknamkanon had known he had not meant to do anything he had done, but he could not get off free. The people would find out, and since Lady Yugi and Heba were likable nobles, they might call for Allen's head. Then again, revealing the whole story, might help.
The pharaoh was brought of his thoughts when Allen kneeled at the throne.
"What is my punishment, Pharaoh?" The boy asked, without any fear. On either side of him, Yami and Atem looked at each other.
They had wanted him to die at first, but learning of his past had transferred their hate onto the one who raised him. The only thing they felt for him was sorrow. It was the same for Bakura and Marik.
"Raise you head, Allen." Aknamkanon commanded. He only continued when the blonde looked up. "What you have done cannot be forgiven. You attempted to kill a noble, that cannot be changed. You are guilty of that, but your past also reveals the hardships you suffered made you the way you are."
Allen said nothing but nodded his head.
"I have decided that you will either be exiled or become a servant here. You may pick."
"Yes, Pharaoh." Allen said. "Thank you."
"You are welcome my boy."
In the shadows, Mira breathed a sigh of relief. She had tried to hide it, but she knew her feelings. She loved her childhood friend. The news that he was safe made her heart soar. She couldn't wait to see him.
The next was the man. He aad not been given a name. He refused to tell his or accept another name.
They dragged him in, and the temperature dropped. Yami and Atem tightened their grips on their father's throne, to the point where he was sure that his throne would break. Marik and Bakura just threw the man to the floor.
"Well that was nice." The man said.
"Shut up." Yami growled at him. "You're going to die."
"Oh really?" The man asked, sarcastically. "Did your father decide that?"
Aknamkanon glared at him. "Yes I decided that. You kidnapped a child, murdered his family, almost broke that same child by forcing him to see his family's heads and forcing him to kill, murdering a man and impersonating him while forcing the man you killed's daughters to move out, then hire the same child that you almost broke to kill a noble, then when you failed, attempt to kill him along with another noble, and insult the royal family."
"I did all that? I am very talanted." The man smirked.
"You are sentenced to death! Do you not care?"
"Nope." The man replied. "Unless you make the death terrifying. Let's see what you can do."
When Seto finished explaining what had happened, Joey was ready to kill him already. She did celebrate Allen living and the other one dying just like the others.
"So when is he dying?"
"We aren't sure." Yami answered.
"We want him to suffer." Atem explained. "But, he doesn't get scared easily. It's impossible."
"It's not really..." Ryou said timidly. "What if he fears something simple?"
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed. We got the verdict on Allen and the other one, and a nice Mira/Allen moment. Leave a review on your way out!
