The pharaoh didn't need to be told twice as he moved toward Serena and took her hand. "Serena. Kaiba has every right to question the situation and my motives even I mean well. He has always done so and will continue to. That is who he is and how he grew up." He explains to her. Especially in this situation, he did not blame Seto. 

Seto eyes did not waver as Dartz explained himself. Though Yami seemed to believe Dartz and as far as he were to possibly believe that the pharaoh may have even forgiven him, Seto did not. Not easily. If anything, he believed that it needed to be earned. 

Hearing Ishizu's words of which rang true. For he too had fallen till Yami gave him a path to follow back to the light of his goals. He looked behind him to almost all of those who had been effected by what Dartz did before looking back to the man. "Though I know what Yami said was to help you. Though what you said is true. I don't forgive you. And I won't till you have earned it. Not just from me. Those behind me and the riders. Prove yourself to want that forgiveness, and not just by apologies. But one wrong move, one step out of line and you will wish you to be dead again. That is a promise that I'll see to." Seto explains with no room for niceties in his tone. Clear as crystal. From there he turns to walk away toward the kitchen. 

As he walked by, Cora felt rigid and uneasy for she had never met anyone like Seto Kaiba. And it seemed he was not one for bullshit. She couldn't help but to look away as he passed her. She felt fear as she felt his anger. She was told about Dartz but not Kaiba's side of the story.
