could be seen up to the belly button, followed by an oriental skirt that had been embellished with a little gold. Seeing Kisara like that almost stunned him, but he had to recover so that it wouldn't attract attention.
"See you again," the girl muttered softly. She didn't like being in the palace in these things, but she had to wear them. Today she still had time to get used to it, but tomorrow she couldn't show that she didn't like it.
"Is everything all right with you ... you look like you are unwell," interjected the priest.
"It's just the robe, it shows a little too much skin," said Kisara softly and averted her gaze to the side.
"That's understandable, if I were you I wouldn't be comfortable either," Seth mumbled softly and looked around. Then he just went to Akunadin's closet and pulled out a long coat.He put this on Kisara slowly and locked it. "Now you're not showing any skin."
"Thank you," the girl smiled a little and then looked at the floor. Seth had just been so close to her that it had been a little uncomfortable too, especially because she knew that this shouldn't be allowed to be.
"May I ask you something?" He began. He just had to know what she knew about tomorrow and whether to kill Pharaoh.
"Of course, ask me anything you want to know," nodded the white-haired woman.
"About tomorrow, what role are you playing there? Mana had overheard a conversation between Master Akunadin and Goza, they want to use you for their own purposes, tell me what exactly they mean," he asked Kisara and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I don't know, the whole time I thought myself that I was going to the Pharaoh as a slave and then I was trained to be a dancer today. I can't tell you what role I play because I don't know this myself I am and do what I think is right or what is forced upon me, "Kisara mumbled softly. She had given up hope that Seth would understand all this, but she did not understand it herself.
"Are you telling me the truth too?" The priest wanted to know urgently from the girl.
"Yes, I'm not lying, I promise you", Kisara replied.
"I believe you," he nodded and took her briefly in his arms. He didn't really know why either. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for her and had to be here, although she didn't like it, but maybe also because there was something about her that attracted him to her.

"Kisara, wait," Mokuba called and wanted to run after her, but Seto stopped him. He did not want his little brother to run into the building as well and be confronted with the terrible events of their childhood.
"But, Seto, we can't just let her go. You know, we promised her back then and we should help her.What she was doing here was just a cry for help, "Mokuba interjected softly. He hoped that his brother would understand him and would also know why the two had to do that now.
"I know that, but the way she is at the moment, you won't get through to her," said Kaiba. It was certain that his brother was just too good for this world. He always wanted to help people, even those who didn't want his help, it seemed.
"It doesn't matter, we were friends with her, we can't just let her go like that. She needs us, we should just explain to her why we didn't get her out," said the little one. "You can't care what happens to her," the little one interjected.
"Mokuba, I'm really sorry, but we can't go to her. You can see how much she hates us, she would do something to us or try. And I will certainly not expose you to this danger," said Seto sternly .
"But Seto ...", Mokuba muttered sadly. He had suspected that it would turn out like this and that it would only make Kisara hate them even more. But that couldn't be, he'd forgotten her, even if he was still very young, but still it wasn't an excuse. The worst part was that he still knew everything about the orphanage, but Kisara, the girl he and his brother were friends with, he had forgotten, just like the promise he had made.
"You don't leave any peace anyway," said Kaiba and looked at the little one. "Well, we're going in, but you stay by my side, I won't let her do anything to you," he interjected. He couldn't really imagine that she would do anything to his brother, but you never really knew that people wanted revenge and that's why Kaiba preferred to play it safe.
"I'll do that," the little one nodded and held onto Seto's hand, which he held tightly as the two of them went into the building.For the fact that it was just a hologram, it seemed very real and looked exactly like the orphanage at the time. Both Kaiba brothers were shocked that it would be so real again, they hadn't expected that.
"Don't be afraid," Seto muttered to his brother and continued to look around.
First they both came back into the entrance of the home, which at first glance looked very friendly. Pictures of children were painted on the walls and everything had been light, but it looked very different in the rooms. These were mostly dark and there wasn't much to see. Immediately afterwards was the director's office and his name was on the wall, this was where all the children who either messed up or had been adopted came. The brothers moved on and arrived at the common room. Everything had been the same as before, the small tables were still in their old positions, even the cupboards were still there.
"No ...", Kaiba stammered. Everything was really like it was back then, when he had met Kisara for the first time. He could still see it all in front of him as she sat on the chair and reached for a book to the side of the cupboard. Seto automatically went to this cupboard and pulled out the book that he had read to Mokuba at the time. It was still there and so he opened a few pages, but there was no trace of Kisara.
"Is that the book you used to read to me from?" Asked the little one while he was watching his big brother.
"Yes, the neverending story of Michael Enden. Actually not a book that young children should read. It is beautiful, but still a little incomprehensible at that age, and yet it was our favorite book," said Kaiba quietly.
"But only because we had so much imagination back then that we really believed that everything in the book was real or would become real if we only wished it for it," replied Mokuba with a smile.He remembered every single chapter and how it was read to him.
"You're right about that", Kaiba nodded and put the book down again. They were only memories and these he had already erased with a great deal of effort. It was no longer important to think about it. Shaking his head, he looked at the little one.
"If she's not here, where will she be?" Moki wanted to know. Actually he would have thought that Kisara would be here, here where she met Seto, here where Seto had played the chess game against Gozaburo.
"I can think of another place there," muttered the older man and pulled up the stairs with his brother. There he went straight to a room, the door of which he immediately opened.
Kisara had been there, she was sitting on the small bed, clutching a white teddy bear and a pillow tightly in her hands. Tears ran down her cheeks and she didn't even notice that there was now 'visitor'. She hadn't expected that, she had been here far too long for that and no one came to her.
"Hey Kisara ...", Mokuba called to her.
The girl was startled and dropped everything she ever held. She couldn't believe that the two of them had come in and were with her. It couldn't be. She shook her head briefly, but then looked at both of them. "What do you want?" She asked.
"We're sorry we forgot you back then. We really didn't want that," said Moki.
"I've already told you once before that it didn't matter to me that you forgot me. You were a little boy after all, but your brother wasn't. I expected the great Seto Kaiba to know that he still had a promise to keep, but it was all just for show, "she snapped at the older man. She was angry, very angry in fact.
"If you really mean my life has been easy for the past few years, you are wrong.It had been more than difficult and I couldn't think of everything. I locked away everything from my past once and for all, which made me forget you too. I admit it wasn't really gallant, but it happened now, live with it or don't, "Kaiba said emotionlessly.
"But Seto", the little one couldn't believe that his brother had really said this. It had been a shock to him and he believed it had to be worse for Kisara.
"Right, I forgot, you're the only one who had a terrible life and a terrible childhood, but look at you. You have your brother, you have a company, you are rich and have everything you ever wanted. And I lost my two best friends, I was in the orphanage for years before I was adopted by a priest, but what did all of this bring me? I'm still just as alone as before, "interjected the girl. She didn't want him to feel sorry for her, she should just understand him.
"That's not true," Moki now interjected. "Seto had had a bad life, he was repeatedly forced to study by our stepfather, it went like this from morning to evening, at some point he didn't want you to be drawn into the whole thing and that's why he didn't tell Gozaburo that he should adopt you. And after Seto had been tormented so much by him, he had just thought that it would be best if he would leave his past behind and start a new life, "said the little one and looked at her.
Kisara hadn't expected that and she had no idea that he was doing so badly. But then Seto tore her from her thoughts.
"You wanted to do something to my brother, or why did you point the monster at us then?" Kaiba asked.
"So that you would finally perceive me here. Since the two of you were in cyberspace, I have followed you, over and over again, but you have never felt my presence, you have been more important to each other all the time.But with the attack I made you aware of me and if I wanted to do something to him, then I would have
