Chapter 72 The Stand

They take a short break, getting ready to put Yuki on the stand to ask her questions. Kaname just staring at her, having so many questions of his own. Just standing by her, acting like everything is fine. And like he is well aware of everything taking place. When inside he is fuming. He can't even imagine her still being alive and lying to him all these years. He just knows, he can't say or do anything here to make anyone know the truth.

Yuki stays in her pureblood nature, owning it for the first time in her life. Hanabusa watching in shock of how she reacted and protected Kaname.

"My lady are you ready?" The head asks. "Yes, Let's get this over with please." Yuki answers. "First, why did you want everyone to think you were dead?" The head asks. "Because I wasn't comfortable in my pureblood ways. I felt this life wasn't for me and I needed space." Yuki answers. "Did Kaname know?" Not about everything no. I kept him in the dark to keep him safe. Yet you people still went after him. I can have your heads for that." Yuki answers. "Sorry, my lady. Where have you been?" The head says. " I have Been everywhere. I never stayed in one place. I have enough money to finally see things. To be free." Yuki claims. "Did anyone help you?" The head asks. "No, Like I said I was trying to keep them out of this. ANd why does it matter? I wanted away. There is no crime in it. It's hard for a pureblood to get freedom." Yuki states.

"Did you have an affair on Mr. Kuran?" The head asks. "You sure have a lot of nerve. First, you want to say my husband killed me. Now you want to say I cheated? NO, I didn't cheat on my husband. Not like its any of your business." Yuki yells. " We have a witness that states, you were cheating." The head states. "Really? Did they tell you with who? I would like to know, who I was screwing. Since they know so much about me." Yuki answers. "No, they said they didn't know with who." The head answers. Yuki is so relieved. "Thats because it never happened. I want all this to stop. I want you to leave my husband alone. You are bringing shame to my family. You don't want me to bring it to yours." Yuki gripes.

Kaname just watches, not sure who this is in front of him. It sure wasn't his Yuki. She never acted this way. Never had so much confidence. Her true pureblood was in full bloom. Not flicking to anything they asked. Not even the affair. He knew she protected him, as well as Kiryu. She was doing her best to make him look, like the King pureblood he was. And keep his reputation at its best.

"If we think of any other questions, we will let you know." The head states. "I am done answering your questions. Like I said before stay away from me and my husband. If I see you snooping around, I will come for you. I guess no one ever told you to mind your own business." Yuki says with a red gleam in her eye. Making all of the counsel shake from fear.

She gets off the stand, walking over to Kaname, grabbing his arm and walking out the door with him.

Pictures flashing, and reporters asking questions. "My lord, your wife isn't dead. Did you know? Why didn't you just say it, so all this didn't happen? Yuki are you staying now? What about your child did she know? Who is the man you reportedly had the affair with?" Reporters ask. "This is a family matter, we would like to keep our life private. Yes, my wife is very much alive. She told the council everything, and it should all be over now. Please, grant us the privacy we ask for." Kaname says. Getting into the car with Yuki.

The reporters flashing cameras at them and wanting to follow. All wanting to know more and what really took place.
