Eiru frowns upon the heavy predicament weighing on his shoulders, or rather, in his mind because. Utterly disgusted and vexed at the thought of kissing another guy. As someone from the demon race, Eiru has already lived hundreds of year but not once in his life he has ever thought of kissing another guy.

Even in a drag, the thought is repulsive. He wouldn’t mind cross-dressing as a girl but such action is going too far.

“There’s another way to prevent this! Though it won’t even feel pleasant, I have to at least lessen the damage it could cause on my sanity!” Eiru internalizes as his frown didn’t cease to exist from his face.

He doesn’t want to glance at Falikh’s group anymore. Eiru wanted to end this as soon as possible so he proceeded with the plan in his mind.

Eiru slowly cocks her head towards Arytorio as if it is in the motion of kissing, however, his left hand immediately crawls to Arytorio’s forehead and combs his bangs a little upward.

“Nooo….!” Eiru cried internally as he kisses Arytorio’s forehead. It was kind of unbelievable that he didn’t flinch a little from doing it, a perfect act up to this point.

“Thenea...” Arytorio said as he opens his eyes again from the kiss on the forehead. He touches the place where Eiru lightly tapped his lips onto.

Keeping his act together, Eiru smiles again even though his knuckles placed behind are trembling in rage.”It’s a good luck charm, prince. It’s all I can offer for you. May you find your path and I wish it would be the righteous one.”

“Thank you! Thenea…! Thank you for clearing up my mind! Thenea…I will never ever forget you!” Arytorio said as tears started streaming from his eyes.

“I, but not have indefinite time to stay. I bid you farewell, Prince.” Eiru said to quickly end this idiot’s daydreaming.

“Thenea! If you disappear now, I swear, I will find you! I will love you whatever form you take, whatever fate you have, whatever age or years we are separated, I will love you regardless of your gender as long as I can see you again!” Arytorio vows as he steeled his heart and put a resolve in his mind, a resolve that will change his life forever…

“Crap…this guy is dangerous!” Eiru said panicking in his mind as shiver was sent to his spine. Everything he said gave him weird goosebumps that could kill a cow, especially that part where he said he will love him regardless of gender.

From the corner of the room where Arytorio’s blind spot is located, Spoof stealthily approaches with two acupuncture needle in his hands.

“….!” Spoof used the needle on Arytorio’s neck which causes him to lose consciousness. The needle isn’t only used for acupuncture it is also coated with tranquilizer-like liquid because Spoof himself isn’t confident of his acupuncture skill.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“Ah….The…nea…” Arytorio fell back to his bed as he mutters the name of the girl who showed up in his dreams. He would have never thought that everything was staged…

“Ahh….” Eiru collapsed on the spot with a tired sigh.

“So, will that stop the war?” Mika asked as he and Falikh, and the others march at the unmanned corridor of the castle. Because of the upcoming war, most of the soldiers and knights are sent to the battlefield and the leftover in the castles was taken down by Teth’s odorless sleep gas.

Even Arytorio’s room was filled with incense that instills calmness and a floaty feeling like you are hallucinating.

“Hahaha! Mika…you can’t stop a war. Once it started, the only way for it to end is to either destroy the opposing side completely or a truce or what I would like to call, a treaty. Well, if you want to permanently end it, that means people should go brain-dead.” Falikh gleefully said.

“Then why do I have to do that in the first place?! Why have me dress in a drag and seduce a man?!” Eiru angrily said as he took one of Falikh’s arms to readily bite.

“That prince’s actions alone cannot stop the war. No one can at this point. However, with that, we can sway the direction the war could happen.” Falikh said with a smug.

“I still don’t know what you are trying to get at. Why have Miss Reysha and the other’s to stall both armies? Why do we need to infiltrate the castle? What’s the meaning behind your plans?” Teth asked strongly as he becomes worried about the situation.

“It is as Teth said, what are the reasons behind your plans? How can Prince Arytorio sway the direction where this war is going?” Mika followed Teth’s question.

“Prince Arytorio is only a catalyst, a starter of something. The reason we need to stall the armies from clashing is so that we can still direct this war on a verbal scale. If and if, a soldier or a knight dies in the battlefield, the war’s fate is already bound to lead to a larger bloodshed.” Falikh explained while trying to get rid of Eiru’s hand gripping on his.

“As for our next step, we will go for the next target,” Falikh added.

Mika, Teth, and Eiru had all question marks floating above their heads as Falikh said that. Only Spoof knows what Falikh is talking about.

The structure of Kerias Kingdom’s governance is a monarchy, meaning, there is a king at the top. The same goes for Breille and the Mesola Kingdom, however, Kerias follows a lineage, a bloodline for the rightful heir to the throne.

The reason Falikh’s didn’t become a king is that the Mesola Kingdom does not follow such culture instead, the Mesola Kingdom is built on faith to gods. Only those who are blessed by the gods can only be the next king.

Falikh’s believes that the people in the Mesola Kingdom are all monkey that blindly follows something nonexistent. All of those who are trapped in their faith treated devils and beasts like an abomination of this world, that’s why he left…

Falikh also believes that the Mesola Kingdom is capable of summoning heroes from another world and is certain that it won’t be long before they do so.

The Breille Kingdom has governance that follows a certain           pattern in choosing their next king once the current one is deemed unfit or retired because of old age, a way of resourcefulness fitting of Breille Kingdom.

“So now, this is the question, Teth, Eiru, and Mika. You guys know about the card deck right?” Falikh asked.

The three people he asked all nodded their heads.

“At the very apex of their hierarchy is the King, the one who rules and make major decisions in the land, the Queen who supports the king and handles some political stuff that the King cannot take care of…then lastly…?” Falikh smilingly asked the three…

“””The Jack…””” The three simultaneously answered Falik’s question.

“That’s right. The king and queen cannot reach to such decision if no one close to their position is whispering in their ears. That’s why we go now to Jack of Cards.” Falikh announced as the five them walks in the hallway.
