PAID CRIMES

Station 4 : New Kingdom

"Princess your father ordered  us to escort  you to the palace. One of our commander died without any traces. It happened on his territory in Ellum City. Someone powerful magic user defeated him and his army with it. "a man wearing dark cloak  informed the princess.

"Ok ,I'll be coming. " she sighed an followed the man. Her disguise changed to her real attire as her long red hair neatly tied in ponytail.

The princess loves to stay out than stay inside the palace. She felt suffocated with  the people around here. 

They transported with the used of the crystals .

"Teleport to Mondex Kingdom!" the man stated as they disappeared like thin air.

Once they walked to the hall, the guards bowed as the princess passed them. The hall was made up with bricks  and every post was a red flag was hung with a  black skull of a bull painted in it. 

"Greetings princess the king has been waiting along with 6 commanders in the dining hall"  a guard said and guide the princess to the closed door. He opened it for her to come inside. The room was huge that can accommodate hundred of people  inside. In the center was a big painting of a domineering gold haired man wearing a black king clothes and cover with black cape sitting on a throne coldly steering the viewer while the opposite side was a 20 meters tall glassed window. Curtain hang in the side showing the dark starry night.

" Feiyeng, where have you been that I need to ordered someone to looked for you?" the domineering man coldly said as the princess stand in front on the lone tables where the 6 commanders look at her.

" I'm sorry father, I was in the Perunia, taking some works there. I heard about Von's death. How does it happened?" she asked as she already know before hand.

"Your highness according to some of our guards  a God Magic User was  the one cause this havoc against us" a man with red haired  uttered. His green eyes were looking intently to the person setting on the head chair.

"A God magic user. Did you all kill them ? How come there's still lurking around causing our plans ruined?" the domineering man asked and coldly look each them.

"  Don't worry. I'll  find him and take him down. "the red haired man answered. 

"Better seize the problem, Gary .I don't want some insect stop my plans." the domineering man with gold haired replied.

The other commander remained silent as they know what will happen next. No one can stand with the dark magic of  commanders especially their king who gave them this enormous magic.

After the meeting the commanders leave in instant we the used of their crystals. The princess stay standing looking at her father.

"Father, I've been observing the legendary snow monster. He keeps himself on the cave not even barging to do about your plans. He might not be a threat to us. "the princess stated as she looked straight to the man's eyes.

"Keep your eyes on him. Kill him if he acts heinously. "

"Yes, father" she bowed her as she waited for another instruction.

" You can leave now. "he stated as stand and walked away.

The princess remained standing as she felt afraid of the person she cared the most. She don't want her to be dead but she can't defy her father's will. She's a princess that need to serve the next throne to rule the kingdom and doing what's her father desired is what her duty as princess.

She left the place half- heartedly as she can't do anything about it. Feiyeng went back to Perunia as she acted back to her commoner self. She sit outside on her house watching the villagers busy doing their own works. The cold snow never bothered her instead it calm her more.

" Feifei, are you ok?" a boy asked her as he sit beside her. She didn't notice the boy was already in her side. She was indulged on her thoughts about the person in her heart.

" Yufan, why are you here? Did your mom getting better now?" she asked diverting the topic.

" Sadly, she wasn't .Her health was in critical stage already and only hope can solve it but my mother always says " No matter what happen, you should choose what makes you happy even in the deepest sadness." Having sadness was already in our life but if we keep living with it then what's the used of living then if you don't enjoy it?" Yufan spoke like he's some kind of a big man giving some advice to a troubled lady.

"I never thought you've grown this much, Yufan. Yenyen surely raced a young man that will lighten the views of every trouble persons around WIC's land" Feiyeng uttered and smiled to the boy.

This place makes her at ease as she felt home than in her real home. She never felt special as the people here who cared her even they don't know her.

"I'm already a young man. My mom told me that being a young man needs to work hard and help people than make them suffer. That's why I promise my mom not to do bad things that will make someone suffered instead I'll use my strength to protect them with all my might" he replied and grinned with confident.

"Hahaha, I know you can do it. You're like Alyck  but more brighter." she uttered making lips pursed the named on her thoughts.

" Oh so you're thinking that jerk. We're not the same that cold jerk don't deserve a lady like you"  he frowned on Alyck's attitude but deep down he admired her. He just shy to admit it.

" Hahaha, what made you think that way? Such kid like you should not meddle adult's matters" Feiyeng commented and raffled his hair.

" Because I can see how you stare at him. Your eyes smiled as your lips curved into smile once you speak about her or talk to her last time.You don't need to hide it. It was obvious except that jerk. He was so dense to notice it." Yufan said making the lady stunned on realization about her action toward the lad.

" You're so smart Yufan. I can't deny it though but we're not meant to be together even in the future" Feiyeng replied as her eyes stare up to the sky.

" Why? Does he has someone already? Should I kick his butt to wake his mind about you?" he asked  as he frowned on Feiyeng. To him she's her big sister that always cared for him and looking at her sad eyes made him feel sad as well.

"No need to do that, Yufan. Someday, when grow enough, you'll understand that not all things in life can't be together even if you tried"Feiyeng smiled talking to a kid with this kind of matter is not appropriate for her. She was amazed to ;a kid like Yufan; who should enjoy playing now start to stand on his own due to his circumstances.

" Like my mom? I keep praying she'll be better but I can't have her long? Feifei, I already understand it though I know my understanding wasn't enough but if you happened to meet that person then you should show it before it's too late" Yufan added as he experienced hardship about life making him more advance compared to the other kids.

Yufan chooses to stay with adults than with children. He loves to listen and talked to them especially those knowledgeable one. He hasn't able to go to any normal teaching instead her mom let him study alone with some books she borrowed. Yufan a 10 year old kid that talks about something big was making Feiyeng amazed.

"Thank you, Yufan. I'm amazed on you. When did you grown that fast?" 

"As I said, I'm a young man now." he proudly answered as he put his fist on his right chest.

"Ok fine but a young man should go home and take good care his mom than talked here" Feiyeng replied as she amusedly looked the kid.

Her worries somewhat enlighten with this young lad. She never thought a kid would be her adviser about her issues in life. 

"Oh yeah, I'm going home then take care Feifei" he waved and run fast away. 

She stared back on the sky before smiling to walked in side.

"Alyck I hope you're doing well." she uttered.

************

On other hand, Alyck felt cold out of nowhere as she keeps sneezing around.

"Are you ok? What are feeling tell me so that I can heal you" Anastacia worriedly said and tried to tap her forehead if she got  a fever.

"I'm ok, I just don't know why I'm sneezing nonstop"

"Maybe someone thinking about you" Tristan teased her earning a glared from Anastacia

"Whoever think about you , I'm sure it's your girls around.  If  I'll meet them, I'll surely let them taste what a Fairy God was" 

"Calm down, will you? Who might it be and I don't know what are you talking about and don't listen to Tristan. He's stupid"

"Really? Let's see about that and you Tristan finished that already we've been hours here. You're still eating your foods"

" Yes ,princess" he replied mockingly making Anastacia growled/

"Hurry up, stupid we need to go to Goryo Village. They said a new commotion happened there" Alyck state making Tristan stop and smiled.

"I'm done, shall we?" he answered as he finished his 8th plate.

"At last, we can go"
