Sacrifices for Family and Love

The Coronation

Several months had passed since Yuugi and Yami's wedding. Everything had been going fine for the newly married couple.

All of Egypt was excited about the newly married couple and were sure that when Yami took the throne, he would make an excellent Pharaoh, and that Yuugi would make a wonderful Queen.

Aknankanon sat in the throne room with the council and the priests in a very important meeting.

"My Pharaoh, are you certain that you wish to do as you have said?" Omar asked.

"Yes, I am. My Queen and I have talked over this extensively for the last few weeks, and we have agreed that this is what we want to do." Aknankanon said.

The council looked to Amara, who nodded her head to say that she was on agreement with what her husband had just said.

"Very well, my Pharaoh. If this is what you wish, then you will have the council's full support." Omar said.

"As you will have the priests full support." Eternias added.

"Good. We will need that for the people to adjust to this." Aknankanon said.

"Has Prince Yami and Princess Yuugi been notified of this?" Mahado asked.

"No. We will tell them of this today." Aknankanon said.

"Very well, my Pharaoh. We will not start with any of the planning until the Prince and Princess have been notified of this." Omar said.

"Good. My wife and I will tell Yami and Yuugi as soon as the meeting has ended." Aknankanon said.

The council and the priests nodded their heads in understanding.

Yami and Yuugi were walking out in the gardens. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the two usually ended up taking a walk in the gardens together as long as there was nothing else going on. Even then, they usually managed to walk in the gardens for a few minutes at least.

Yuugi let out a tired sigh.

"Are you tired, Yuugi?" Yami asked.

"Considering you kept me up half the night, yeah, I'm tired.' Yuugi replied.

Yami grinned and said, "Maybe, but I know that you enjoyed it."

Yuugi groaned. "At the time, it seemed like a good idea. I usually end up so tired for the next day that all I can do is think about going to sleep." Yuugi said.

"Well, I won't keep you up late tonight." Yami said.

"Doesn't mean that you are going to leave me alone." Yuugi replied.

"Hey. I said that I wouldn't keep you up late. That doesn't mean that I would leave you alone." Yami said.

"Ever since we got married, you have wanted to have sex every night." Yuugi said.

"Is that a bad thing?" Yami asked.

"Again, at the time, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, but I do end up regretting it the next day." Yuugi said.

"Excuse me. Prince. Princess." a female servant said, bowing respect respectfully to them.

"Yes. What is it?" Yami asked. He was disappointed that his time with Yuugi had been ruined, but he knew that it was bound to happen at some point or another.

"The Pharaoh requests your presence in his study." the female servant said.

"Which one of us?" Yuugi asked.
