The now big three had formed a new plan. Now that Seto knows the truth about Mokuba. In addition to Yami's leaving and everything that happened with Noah had caused Seto to become overprotective of the kid. Not to mention Yami's guard Varon had taken the boy under his wing. Plus half the castle including Ryo's brother had taken a liking to the kid. This meant it'd make things twice as hard for them to gain control of the throne. They did however feel they had a potential ally in Kisara. So, they set their plan into motion.

"Good evening Miss." Leichter said.

"Good evening to you too sir." Kisara said.

"So you're the boy's tutor."

"Yes, I am."

"It is so sad what happened to the child's last one..." Leichter said shaking his head

"I heard about that, she was murdered."

"Oh, is that what they told you?"

"Why yes, you mean it's not true?"

"Well yes it is but, she wasn't just any random murder victim."

"What?"

"Oh, you weren't told."

"Wasn't told what, what really happened?"

"My understanding was she willingly allowed herself to be raped in the course of protecting that kid. Which is also what got her killed."

"I can't understand why she'd do a stupid thing like that." Kisara said. "I love children and all like that, but unless it's my own kid I don't see myself giving in to an attacker to protect someone else's.

'Excellent if that's the way she feels then there's hope that we can get her to our side." Leichter thought.

"Have you also been made aware that the king didn't adopt that kid off the street that he kidnapped him from his old home simply because he wanted his brother. His father gave this family that boy. Now once he found that out he kidnapped him on the grounds that he was being abused."

"Hmp, I thought so."

"Really?"

"Yes, how they refuse to comment or tell anything as to why the boy needs treatments. I still believe that that guy the kid looks to as another brother, but is not blood related, took him away not because he felt neglected, but because he knew the truth."

"What truth, may I ask is that?"

"The truth is that the king or Master Atemu are the ones really beating on him. They treat the injuries they give him."

"Well you know you could give the child back to his family."

"How would I do that? I don't even know them."

"I could meet you in town and I've heard they will be there. You could easily return him then."

"Well how would I get him out of the castle? That guard Varon is always up under us."

"I wasn't aware he stayed in the room with you during tutoring."

"I'm not sure why he does it, all I know is he started doing it."

"You just get the kid to town tomorrow and you let me deal with the guard."

"Very well."

When Seto learned Kisara was keeping the kid there the entire day past dinner plus her accusing him of beating on Mokuba had caused Seto to become very untrusting of her and started having Varon stay in the room with them.

The next day Kisara had thought long and hard on what excuse to use to get them to town.

"Mokuba there you are. I have a surprise for you today."

"What?"

"We're going on a field trip."

"Why do we need to go on a field trip?" Varon asked.

"Well if you must know it was going to be a surprise but there's a pond I know of that I thought we could go to in order to teach the boy the names of certain plants and animals. This way he could learn by seeing the real things. Not just a picture in a book."

"Makes sense I suppose. We should clear this with the king first."

"The king is a very busy man, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a small field trip."

Mokuba didn't like doing anything like this without Seto knowing. The last thing he wanted was for his brother to be mad at him for any reason. Even though he knew he wouldn't get beaten for doing something without Seto's permission. He didn't want to upset Seto. Plus he knew Seto didn't trust Kisara anyway so that'd be even more reason not to ask first. "S-Seto will only g-get mad if w-we just l-leave without asking first."

"He's right. Busy or not, you must ask the king's permission."

Kisara was nervous. She wasn't sure she'd be able to convince Seto as easily as she did Mokuba and Varon. But she tried anyway. It wasn't easy, especially since Seto kept asking her a million questions. Finally, Seto was satisfied enough that he allowed the trip. What she didn't count on was Seto getting Alister to accompany them as well. Now she was sure the plan would fail. However, Leichter and the others were prepared for anything. Once in town their plan came together. They had hired a couple of kids to ram the wagons' spokes. They knew all too well how to do it, as they'd done it before many times for fun. This was actually a first for them to be paid to do it.

"Little brats. Now what are we to do?" Alister asked.

"Well I'd say it's obvious myself I'll stay here, you take the wagon and get it repaired."

"Fine."

While Alister was gone, they started looking around when a couple of boy's ran up and grabbed Kisara's purse.

Varon was torn between his duty towards Mokuba or going after the purse-snatcher. Finally much to Kisara's annoyance and yelling at him he decided to stay. The big three though had planned ahead on the off chance Varon didn't take the bait. So, they hired a guy to start attacking a girl. Of course, they were sure this would do it. They were right as Varon raced to help the girl that was in trouble.

Leichter had told Kisara, Mokuba's stepmother's name and anything else he was able to dig up on her.

Kisara spotted her and grabbed Mokuba's hand and dragged him over to them. Mokuba's eyes went wide seeing them. He'd promised he'd never return to them and he wanted to keep that promise. At first Mokuba thought she didn't know them. That she was only going to ask for help or something. He would soon learn he was wrong, all the way around.
