"I will get straight to the point.

Will you, (Y/N),

become a Yugi bride?"

< End Of the Flashback >


'Is that why Lord Amane phrased his question that way? But still... why?' (Y/N) thought, recalling that odd conversation.

She looked over at Lord Tsukasa, who was seated across from her, fidgeting slightly.

"You came all this way just to tell me that, Lord Tsukasa?" she asked, eyebrows raised in genuine curiosity.

He instantly went pink, his composure slipping as he stammered, "N-No! Not... exactly..."

"Then... why, may I ask?" she pressed, a smile tugging at her lips.

"W-w-well, you know..." he muttered, suddenly all too flustered.

"Lord Tsukasa?" she asked, watching his cheeks grow even redder.

"...Doh," he muttered under his breath.

(Y/N) couldn't help but sweatdrop at his sudden awkwardness. "...'Doh,' what?"

"Doh...nuts! DONUTS!" he blurted out, clearly embarrassed, his face bright red.

"Er... donuts?" she echoed, trying to hide her amusement.

He nodded, looking away with a slight pout. "I heard from Amane that donuts are a rare delicacy from across the waters."

Then, with a mischievous glint in his eye, he looked directly at her and grinned. "So, it's not fair if only Amane gets to taste them, little missy~ would you mind making some for me, too? The most special batch, please~"

(Y/N) couldn't help but smile. 'True, I did make a batch for Lord Amane... but from the way Lord Tsukasa is acting, that can't be his real reason for being here.'

She felt a warmth rise within her, her heart lightening at the thought of seeing him again.

"An easy task!" she announced proudly.

"..."

He stared at her with a calm, almost thoughtful expression.

"Is something the matter?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

He quickly shook his head, almost too quickly. "No, no! Nothing at all! Please, don't mind me~"

'What has gotten into him?' she wondered, amused.

"Well then, I'll go and make your donuts," she said, giving him a bright smile.

"Mmm~ Yes, please, little missy~" he replied with a mischievous grin.

(Y/N) chuckled softly as she returned to the kitchen, feeling a surprising spring in her step. Even these little moments with him, so random and silly, made her heart feel lighter.

"..."

In no time at all, she whipped up a fresh batch of donuts and brought them over to him. Lord Tsukasa wasted no time, diving in with enthusiasm, cheeks stuffed like a chipmunk.

"How are they?" she asked, watching him with a hopeful smile.
