Royal Life

Festival

Yusei was out helping with the preparation of the Crimson Dragon Festival. It was a very religious event that celebrated the almighty Crimson Dragon and Yusei was going to make sure it was spectacular. As he finished talking with one of the workers, Yusei turned to see a man with flame-like hair teasing Jack- at least attempting to. Jack seemed uninterested in the male and looked away with scorn. Yusei walked over and pushed the male away from Jack. "Excuse you, bitch!" the male yelled. Yusei examined his clothing. His eyes met the other's violet ones as he said, "You show much skin, wear loose clothing, and have no modesty in your fashion. Which means you're a prostitute."

The male laughed, but Yusei found nothing funny.

His cobalt eyes looked at him with hostility. The male hungrily looked at Jack, who in turn looked back with disdain. "Be gone, thot." Yusei ordered. The male looked at him in confusion. "What did you say?" he asked. Yusei's look got sharper and his look became colder. Jack back away out of respect for his Empress. "I said be fucking gone, you damn THOT!" Yusei replied, slapping the male in the face. He was so taken aback that he ran away out of fear. Jack came back and wrapped his arms around Yusei's waist. "You did good, my star." Jack praised. Yusei blushed and melted. Soon, the festival began. The imperial couple were dressed in red and gold clothing as they were apart of the parade. Dancers waved red flags embroidered with gold while there were people dressed as famous saints.

Back at the palace, Isis nearly collapsed from trying to maintain control. The other husbands were having sex mania and she had just helped Crow give birth. Yuzu had found her laying on one of Yusei's blue velvet chairs in his boudoir. "Isis, what are you doing in here? You know this is the Empress' room." Yuzu inquired. Isis looked at her in annoyance as her blue eyes flared with fury. "Because. . . .shut up." she replied. Moans were heard from upstairs and the sounds of whips resonated. Yuzu looked at Isis in disturbance and concern. "Those boys are going to get Herpes." Isis remarked.

At the parade, orphans gathered around the imperials. Yusei smiled and played with some of the girls. "Empress, do you have children?" asked one of the girls. Yusei nodded and replied, "I have ten little babies; five boys and five girls."

The girl beamed. "Five girls? Can I be an eleventh child?" she asked. Yusei was taken aback by her question. He had never adopted a child before. The wind blew and revealed the scars the little girl had on her legs. The latter had tears streaming down her face as the hem of her skirt blew up. Yusei hugged her and asked, "Little one, who. . . .who hurt you?"

The latter buried her head in Yusei's chest. Hot tears wet the former's dress as the young girl began to shake. "My. . .my caretaker did this to me," she replied. "He beats me everyday and. . .and. . .and touches me in places that are private."

Yusei was distraught by what she said. "Timaeus!" he called. The knight in blue armor came forth to Yusei. "What is your order, Your Imperial Majesty?" Timaeus asked. Yusei told him about the little girl and her abusive caretaker. "I shall find him right away, Your Imperial Majesty." Timaeus said. Yusei sent him on his way and held the small girl. Jack came over and saw the scars on her legs. "Who did that to her?" he asked. Yusei told him about what she had told him, and Jack got furious. "This is outrageous!" shouted Jack. "I am a firm believer that children are a gift from the Crimson Dragon. They don't deserve to be treated like rubbish."

Yusei held the girl in his arms. Her tears fell onto his sleeve as her hands held on. Jack looked into the girl's sorrowful teal eyes and wiped her tears like a father would. The Emperor and Empress exchanged looks and nodded. "What's your name, little one?" questioned Jack. The girl shyly buried her head in Yusei's chest. "It's okay. We're going to adopt you as our daughter." Jack reassured. The girl perked up and beamed. "My name is Nyane!" she happily replied. Jack smiled and asked, "I like your name. Did your biological parents name you after Saint Nyane?"

Nyane nodded and smiled as Jack put her on his shoulders. "From now on, you will be known as Grand Princess Nyane Julia Atlas." Jack said. Nyane cheered and Yusei smiled. This was the start of a new beginning in their lives.
