Chapter 11 - 11

The bright and lively main hall awhile ago turned pitch black with only screams are heard.

What really did happen?

Ryo, a half Twinci and full handsome (crt. his genes)  was busy under the table which is he was performing the most 'awesome' act called hiding.

Flashback

In a banquet with some tables are occupied by the guest while the others are chatting to their long-seen acquaintances on their lively manner, there is usually a table that only solemn silence can be felt.

Why I'm here with this two cold ice blocks?

Ryo regretted sitting with his two so-called friends. He believe that he's the only one here in this table that is the most handsome and carefree person adding with his magnetic look. The others are just some stressful oldies, no one loves them.

The young ladies would passed by on their table greeting Ryo but they only just do that. Who would want to clamor on this table feeling the biting coldness?

No one.

Ryo was then tasked by Xi Chen to observe the people. Looking for someone suspicious. While the great first general was busy glaring to his long time rival, the 4th Prince.

In the midst of the servants, a girl with black maidservant clothing was busy serving the guests while looking from left to right and something was on her right wrist.

That caught Ryo's sight.

Ryo stand up from his seat dismissing himself from Fran. He gracefully glided towards the servant but this maid silently walked to a young lady. Giving her a great distance to the latter.

Zharine Brellin. The young mistress of the Brellin family and the heiress of their household was occupied chatting to her fellow young ladies. She was wearing her dazzling pink outfit with some purple peonies designed on it. She requested her butler to serve her some lovely wine and the butler obediently trudge to a male servant serving wine.

"Young Lady!"

The butler of Zharine instantly rushed to the scene, saving his young mistress to this dreadful sword and everything went black.

End of flashback

Ryo already told Xi Chen that he can't ȧssist the latter when the lights will went off. So that explained Ryo hiding on a table.

Chun irritatedly sauntered to a emergency lightsource. He's gonna break the bones of the culprit to this predicament.

A long haired youth with elegant purple clothing felt a chill from his back.

Who's cursing him?

Xi Chen hastily rushed to this escaping maid. They clashed sword to sword but unfortunately, this puppet was no match for him but the movement of it was so agile.

It can dodge his every strike with ease. But that's just one-third of Xi Chen's speed. The latter then increased his speed adding strength to his strikes, resulting for this puppet to falter with her every movement.

"What are we gonna do with this?"

Xi Chen scan the main hall when the lights finally went back.

"Bring it to 'the chamber' "

"Yes, general"

The people begun their gesture of goodbyes when the lights went back, they pardon themselves for returning early because they don't want to experience the scene awhile ago.

Ryo quietly crawled towards the exit. He wants to rest right now and don't want to face the wrath of Xi Chen. But unfornately, a pair of shoes appeared on his view, this majestic black shoes with gold linings was no other than from the first general.

"Umm... hi?" Ryo greeted Xi Chen, stupidly.

The first general replied with his most cold faint smile. As a second in command, the latter was so coward when it came to darkness.

"You need more 'training' "

Hearing that, Ryo felt his skull went numb. That's a very bad idea. Ryo knew what was the meaning behind that word 'training', he experience that once and now he's gonna go with it twice.

The first general recalled the scene a moment ago while his sight was caught to the youth clad with his usual white robe, he felt a bad feeling.

A trap?

Chun begrudgingly sauntered to the exit when someone suddenly appeared to his front.

"You're the Shuho's third young master?" A person with black mask like a ninja wearing all around black outfit, suspiciously asked Chun.

"No need to answer" Chun was surprised when his movements was restricted.

A god-tiered restriction spell.

The third young master was captured without difficulty.

"Stop! Release him!"

Xi Chen with his other comrades ready for their weapons.

"Too late"

Just like a ninja, the black masked person throw smoke bombs and disappeared with Chun from the scene.

Shenin cursed. He knew that something was off after the blackout incident happen.

"I'm going to save my little brother!" Kei declared and was about to strode off when Aito give him a smack to his head.

"Idiot. Don't act rashly, we need to plan and pinpoint their location"

The master of the Shuho household meaningly glance at Xi Chen,"The first general know the whereabouts of your third brother."

Chun was brought to this lavish chamber. He lazily lay on the soft and comfy bed.

Is this really kidnapping?

A knock from the outside greeted him and a young man with long dark red hair appeared. He was wearing a majestic purple robe with some strange patterns adorned to it.

"Who are you?" Chun nonchalantly asked. He just felt obligated to ask this question because that's usually what the kidnapped person would say.

When will life give him a rest?

Maybe when he will begin his most awaited journey.

Chun's eyes started to light up when he thought about that.
