Chapter 99

Finally, tonight was the night of the party, that the council was throwing for them. Yuki felt confident in what she was planning. Zero just stood there getting dressed, not phased by anything anymore. He knew she was up to something, and he knew it was to push Kaname away. In many ways he was proud of her, she has come so far.

"I have to leave early babe, I will be there already when you get there with him. Is there anything you need from me before I leave?" Zero asks.

"No, nothing. I love you Zero and thank you for always being there with me." Yuki says.

"I love you too. Whatever you do tonight just please be sure of. I don't want you to regret anything." Zero says.

"I will, promise." She says as she gives him a hug.

Zero finishes getting dressed, then heads out to where the party is going to take place. Yuki remains at the mansion with Kaname getting dressed. She puts on a black sequin v neck long dress, and black heels pinning her hair up with all curls. When she is done she waits for Kaname in the living room.

"My love, don't you look fetching tonight?" Kaname says.

"Thank you, I am ready to get this over with Kaname," Yuki says.

"I know your planning something, I also know you wouldn't do anything stupid to put your darling in harm's way. You're smarter than that." Kaname replies.

Yuki just smiles at him.

"Are you ready to leave?" Yuki asks.

"Yes, I am," Kaname replies grabbing her hand and heading to the limo.

Kaname isn't a dumb man, he knows Yuki, he just wonders what she is up to. He wasn't trying to stop it or push it back, he was actually intrigued and wanted to know.

Once at the ballroom, Kaname grabs Yuki's hand and walks in with her, arm and arm. Everyone turning around to see that the King had his Queen. That both of them were together and fine. All the rumors of him killing her put to rest seeing her in person alive and breathing.

The crowd starts chattering, seeing how beautiful the couple is together. Zero on the other side, doing his best not to pay attention. He knew it was all a fluke. So it didn't bother him at all.

"My Lord you look wonderful tonight and so does the Queen." The Counsel man says.

"Thank you, are you happy now seeing that she is alive and here with me?" Kaname says.

"Yes, very. You had us all wondering there for a while. Even when she came back to say she was alive. There are still many unanswered questions my lord." The council man replies.

"I am sure they are. There is nothing to worry about as you can see." Kaname responds.

As the party gets going, dancing drinking and talking takes over. Everyone is happy to see their king and queen together.

After the dinner is served Yuki stands in the middle of the ballroom, Clinging her champagne glass.

"May I have your attention everyone?" Yuki asks.

"I first want to thank everyone for coming here today. I know you all wanted to see your King and Queen. I know you all have been worried about me. I just need to say that I am fine, but that doesn't mean I will be your Queen any longer. I went away needing space and not wanting to be Queen. I came back the same as I left. I have come to the decision that I will be divorcing dear Kaname and handing the title of Queen to one of our daughters. I also am stating that I will no longer be living at the Mansion or with Kaname. I do not want anyone looking for me or even asking about me. Any questions you have, you ask Your dear King and new Queen. Thank you all for coming, I hope you enjoy." Yuki says.

Kaname just looking at her, he knew she wanted away from him. She just made it that everyone that was someone knew it. There would be no looking for her, No wondering, she stated it in front of everyone. Just not bringing up anything about Zero or her other child. Keeping everything hidden except what she wanted to be hidden. That she no longer wanted Kaname or title of Queen.

He felt it could of went worse, even though now all the council has even more questions. Just they wouldn't be accusing him of murder. She just aired their dirty laundry in front of everyone.

Zero just stands there sipping on his Champagne more proud of her now than he ever was. He does his best not to show eye contact or any contact. Knowing that was for the best. She was protecting him, he needed to let her. He did know if they ever found out why she left Kaname or being Queen, he was dead. They would never stand for it, as some couldn't get over what Yuki just did.
