Chapter 49 - Our Deal

Yue Mansion, Moon Clan Territory

"She's making her move. However, we still can't tell what she's planning yet, Boss. Knowing the Princess, she won't delay this mission unless she has some doubts," Dalgon commented as he poured his Boss some whiskey into his glass.

Yun blew cigarette smoke from his mouth before grabbing the glass of whiskey that his right-hand man, Dalgon, poured for him.

"Observe her for now. We have to know if she has something up her sleeve. Tyrone just sent me a report that Raine is preparing to kill Xander Yang," Yun smirked. "He said that Raine doesn't want to make any drastic moves. She wants to ensure that everything would look like an accident."

Yun then continued, "Ready the men. If Raine can't complete her job within this week, you make the first move as planned and kill Xander Yang. I can't compromise with her slow tactics. Just make sure that our hands are clean in his death, and all evidence will point to Raine by the time the Mirage Council conducts an investigation." 

After which, he discussed a few more things with Dalgon before dismissing him.

Completing his affairs, Yun then went to the library and pulled out a particular book from a particular shelf. At the movement, the shelf shifted away, allowing him to touch the wall behind it with his palm, letting him open the secret chamber. They had several secret doors in the mansion that they could access and enter, all leading directly towards the underground facility of the Moon Clan.

Going inside the elevator, he entered the floor where his brother was being attended to. The elevator doors opened, the guards standing on the ground greeting him politely with a slight bow. 

"Prince Yun."

Yun smiled as walked past them, going straight towards his brother's chamber. Ah, Prince Yun… How he couldn't wait for them to address him as King Yun once his brother failed to wake up.

He entered the scanning area. Once he was approved, he then proceeded inside the chamber where all of his brother's medical doctors were there, monitoring his condition daily.

Doctor Janus greeted him as soon as he saw him inside.

"Prince Yun," the young doctor said with a slight bow.

"Ah, our young doctor is working hard. No wonder my brother had his eyes on you and trusted you so much," Yun replied with a grin. "How is my brother?"

"Still the same, Prince Yun. We're not sure if he will ever wake up again," Janus lied with a sigh. He truly hoped that his acting skills were convincing enough. 

It was the Princess's request that her father's condition be kept a secret. She wanted everyone to believe that there was no hope anymore for her father, and he understood why.

"Ah, my niece was very optimistic, Janus. She still believes that my brother will come back. You should make her understand that the situation right now is still far from good. Sooner and later, we need to remove his life support." Yun morosely stated with a sad expression as he looked at his brother's body. The man was inside a capsule, countless tubes connecting to his body keeping him alive.

He loved Marcus with all his heart, and he was deeply devastated when he fell into this situation. It was the reason why he was preparing his own war against the Convel Society in the first place. He turned away. He simply could not bear to see his body suffer anymore.

'I am far beyond ready now, brother. More than you think I am. I'll take care of the clan, so you can rest in peace now. I'll make sure that the Moon Clan will take the leadership in Mirage among other clans this time.' Yun inwardly promised, as if he was still talking to his brother as he gave him passing glances in his peaceful sleep.

Looking at it, the three Clans were equally as powerful as one another. However, the Earth Clan held the sovereignty of Law & Order among all the clans.

"You and your team are all talented doctors. It would be a waste if you spend more time inside this chamber instead of utilizing all of your knowledge in a more profitable and beneficial manner for both our Moon Clan and yourselves," Yun calculatingly stated. "You're all locked in here, trying your best to save my brother. However, I strongly believe that my brother's body is far too tired already with all of your experiments just to revive him." 

As much as he tried to deny it, he was still deeply concerned for his brother. It had been years already since the accident, and he couldn't bear to see those tubes in his body anymore. He firmly believed that Marcus needed to rest in peace already.

"Prince Yun, I'm not sure if the Princess will listen to me, but I will try to explain the situation to her again. King Marcus's current condition, that is," Janus answered.

"Yeah… Raine needs to learn to let go and move on like how I'm moving forward and accepting that fact that there's no more hope for my brother," Yun added with a clenched jaw. 

Raine… That woman was an abomination. She was a threat, blocking his way to the throne to the point that he had to make sure to put her in her proper place before she had the opportunity to snatch the crown from him once his brother died. He wasn't stupid! He knew how the Council favored Raine over him to be the new ruler of the Moon Clan if Marcus wouldn't make it.

"Those idiots…" Yun unconsciously voiced out, clenching his right fist.

"I'm sorry?" Janus asked.

Suddenly realizing his action, Yun looked at Janus, then patted the young man's shoulder as he nonchalantly brushed it off, "Ah, nothing… I'll be going on ahead. I'll trust you with the matter of convincing my niece that we have to let her father go."

Janus only nodded as he watched Yun leave the chamber. He let out a long deep sigh. He was in a very tight spot, but he will choose to follow Raine no matter what.

'Yeah, right then… Why won't you tell Raine what her father asked you to do?' his inner self retorted.

He and King Marcus had an agreement, so he had to keep his share of the bargain.. He looked at their King inside the capsule and whispered, "Remember our deal as soon as you open your eyes."
