<- loved it absolutely and completely.

Hmmm...Is it Yuugi the Pharaoh aka Lord Sefton's father? Or the adoptive father of Seto's and Mokuba's in the show?

I loved this. Especially since Seto was trying to show her (reverse psychology) that he would not harm her and how she bravely admitted she had been raped. Not even in this age do girls come forward when they've been sexually assaulted.

I can't wait when you finally publish this novel!

XD Yuugi - or rather Atem -- is the King of England - and Marthea's cousin - BWHAHAHAHAHAHA So Gozaburo is Sefton's daddy in this one.

Hehehehe, Sefton's really hard to pin down if only cuz he never really shares his motives with anyone. He usually has some reason for acting like a prick though. (If she had been a servant fer real he would have tapped that, whether she wanted to or not - he's no saint). Marthea's admittance is more due to the fact of her upbringing - i.e. she has a sense that she is owed respect by virtue of her station. Sefton's dad didn't adhere to the ORDER of things therefore she is not at fault and he deserves to be punished. At the same time, she's very conscious of WHO she tells. And - hey - Sefton asked so it was pretty much a forgone conclusion he probably already knew.

Oi, publish? I'm still at chapter II with snippets all over the place >-

For shame that I missed this one the first time around! Nice and long and...yikes, dark and bitter! I, like Svelte, want to see all these bits and pieces come together, because DAL just sounds like an awesome universe (a kaleidoscope of refractions of the Yu-Gi-Oh we know and the pairing we all love).

Plus, reading good fic results in good fic. Just sayin', is all. :}

"Bitter" is probably a good way to describe the mood I was going for. I have quite a few snippets written at various points in the story. The challenge is to put it into a cohesive NOVEL. Particularly since I have 3 years of events to fill in. I've already decided that Marthea and Sefton don't meet until the 2nd year of her captivity. So, it's really quite amazing that she's still so 1. militant and 2. resilient. That's going to be what wins Sefton over . . . well, part of it ^_^

Two years!? I'm curious what the heck Sefton was up to in that time, if he was away from home to give him the excuse of not knowing what his evil adopted (in this 'verse, too?) dad was up to.

I always do like Téa/Anzu for being such a strong character who doesn't seem to break as easily as others do or might, but I wonder what her (rather, Marthea's) breaking point is? How could she go through the 2 years of more-or-less "torture" that she does and still have the strength to stand up to Sefton?

Well, one year and x amount of months. She meets sefton during the second year _ I haven't decided exactly how far into it I'll go. And Sefton was at war at the time (that's an easy one). I'm setting the kidnapping a few months after Thomas Beckett's murder and a few weeks after that I believe (or maybe in the midst of?) there was a war going on with Ireland. That also explains why Marthea's brother (Tristan and Joseph's) absense from the manor house when she's kidnapped ( ... )
