R. REVENGE IS BEST SERVED IN HIDING Part I

“We can’t let her give birth!” Queen Serenity hissed out to her feline advisors as her daughter and her court watched her pace about the room. “The merging of the Amazon’s mastery over the light arts, especially defense and healing, merged with the Pharaoh’s mastery over the dark arts, the Shadow Realms and offense, will make them more powerful then the Silver Crystal!”

That got a round of gasps from the present group, minus the one that had a smug grin.

“If we can just push this little Amazon Healer from the picture then I am sure one of you can easily take her place in his heart.” Serenity continued as Princess Ami looked a bit confused.

“But your highness, what about becoming a consort or such?” she asked as the older Queen scowled.

“He refuses to take any and the Council agrees with his decision, oddly enough. Queen Beryl is becoming more and more pressed to have us stay out of these lands.” she continued as they listened intently. “I have a back-up plan, but that will be the last resort.”

Outside those chambers, Mokuba’s eyes widened as he stealthily made his way off to find his brother. He missed the head that popped out of the door of the room as feline eyes watched him disappear into the shadows of the corridor. His eyes narrowed as he made a mental note to deal with the boy when they were alone, or soon if nothing else.

!*^^*!

Dartz cursed as he stumbled into the room the maids directed him towards with the tray of food. He felt someone steady him and gracefully take the tray from his hands. “Relax a bit.” a soothing voice stated as he glanced at the woman and seen her violet eyes. He let her direct him to a place to sit down as she let out a breath, he seen that she was rather pregnant.

His eyes widened a bit as he realized she was expecting, but she also looked rather beautiful.

“Sorry, they are rather active today.” she stated sitting across from him. “Did the maids give you a little nudge in?”

“A little one, lady.” he stated bowing his head as he kept his eyes on her.

“Please, call me Nepha.” she stated with a laugh as he nodded. “Sorry about their reaction, they have learned to fear entering this room since the last time they tried to do what they thought was best.” He nodded and frowned.

“But, I was to take that to Queen Serenity.” he stated as she laughed and got up again, only to have him on his feet and helping her up.

“Thank you.” she stated with a smile as he nodded. “Come on, I’ll show you where they are staying.” He stopped her with a frown.

“But, your condition…” he trailed off as she waved it off.

“It won’t kill me to walk and I want to see a few of my friends.” she stated as he followed.

In the hall, Marik seen her up and about and decided to escort her. He then seen the green haired servant. She directed him in one way as he went off. “Nepha!” he called out and was by her in a minute as she smiled. “How’s your back?” he asked as she kept the smile.

“It’s fine. I was about to go for a small walk, would you care to join me?” she asked as he nodded and they continued on. Marik telling her about current events as she enjoyed the time away from the gossiping maids.

Dartz walked slowly as he thought about the woman, smiling a bit at the fact he had found a nice person in this desert cursed country. He severely missed his own country and it’s beautiful gardens and waterfalls… Right now I have to face the silver bitch. At least she can pay more then that stupid Amazon I left to the sands. he mused and knocked on the door.

!*^^*!

Seto was beyond pissed as he stormed through the corridors in search of the others. He wasn’t going to stress out Yugi with this information, but he would have all close on alert about it. His poor brother was really worried about it, but he had assured him that nothing would happen to her with them around and sent him off to stay with her.

He stalked into the Throne Room as Mahado was and Yami were talking with others. His serious look made many scatter. Being a High Priest to the Gods had it’s benefits. “Seto?” Yami asked curiously as the High Priest looked serious and when that happened… “What happened?”

“Mokuba accidentally over heard a few… disturbing things.”

Outside the throne room everyone shivered and wisely gave the wide berth if they could.

!*^^*!

Dartz wanted to take out the ranting Queen as she paced before him, a few of the princesses shameless flirting with him. “I want you to kill her and her unborn child soon.” Serenity ended up as he glanced up. “She’s a menace and standing in our way of the Shadow Throne, and also into Beryl’s domain.”

The assassin arched an eyebrow in question as Serenity glared. Okay, she wants me to kill God’s Wife because of this? Does she even know how much the people will revolt? By the waters, does she even know how the people speak of this Queen? He glanced at the bitching Moon Queen as she continued, which earned a roll of the eyes as he settled back into his own thoughts.

“You want this Queen killed because she stands in your way of protection from this Beryl character?” he asked as she stopped, glared at him and nodded. “I’ll see about that, Queen Serenity, but I won’t guarantee anything.” he stated as she still looked pissed. “Now, show me these people so I don’t have to be clueless to the servants.”

She led him out of the room as the Princesses took up their conversation, but that won’t be exploded due to lack of care.

Queen Serenity pointed out the two guards to the Queen, then Beryl herself. Eventually she pointed out Pharaoh Yami and Priest Seto. With her talk she told him everything her spies and such could find and observe of the groups. Dartz was thankful for her over thinking, but still had yet to see the target he was supposed to be plotting the death of. “Yugi! You shouldn’t be up and about!” a female voice stated as Dartz seen a red haired woman chide the woman that showed him to Serenity’s chambers earlier.

“Lyrel, it won’t hurt me to be up and walking around.” she stated with a pout as the blonde man with her laughed at the others look.

“And you, Marik, should know better then to let her be this rebellious in her condition.” she stated as a black haired man pulled her away.

“Now, dear, you know better then to be over protective. Yugi will be fine.” he stated as he drug her away. “Sorry, Yugi, but you know how she is.”

“Something about being an aunt and such?” Marik added as he laughed and disappeared around the corner.

“The red haired woman in Lyrel and the man was her husband Igoto, both amazons.” Serenity stated as he nodded, knowing how to deal with them. “The blonde is Marik, head of the Pharaoh’s guards, and the woman standing beside him is Nepha Yugi the Pharaoh’s wife.” she spat as Dartz was surprised.

“Good day, Queen Serenity, it’s rare I see you out in the sun.” Yugi stated politely as the queen glared, but the blonde guard was ready for an attack. “Lovely weather we are having today.” Dartz was still in shock as she smiled at him. “Good luck in finding your away around and I hope all is well.”

“Come on, Yugi, I guess we better get you back before Ryou or such has a break down.” Marik stated as she sighed.

“I’ll still fight everyone of you.” she stated as he laughed.

“Wouldn’t have it any other way.” he stated as they headed off.

That’s the Queen?! was Dartz only thought as Serenity was fuming.
