"His H-Highness, King Raleigh."

Ives was shocked, his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Maybe he heard a mistake. Ives grabbed Lady Blaine's shoulder, his fingers digging deeply.

"W-What are you saying? You're j-joking right?"

Lady Blaine winced in pain. How dare this insect touch her like this? She still controlled herself and made her face sad, immediately managing to fake tears.

"I'm not lying. It's true. Maybe his highness will tell you later."

The colours on Ives face all faded away, making him look pale and white. His mind was blank. He couldn't think anything as he began to tremble. Millions of questions were running inside his head but he couldn't voice those out as if something was stuck in his throat making him hard to speak.

"What the hell is lady Blaine saying? Is she really Raleigh's fiance? Wait.... did Raleigh lie to me? But why? He already had such a beautiful fiance and still... Why did he bring me here then? What is he planning

Now, King Raleigh was still in his study room with a face full of anger. He was angry at Ives moreover at himself for ignoring him. In frustration, he threw all the papers and kinds of stuff on the table to the floor. He thought about his action about why was he angry at Ives and why did he slap him. "Shit... It's not Ives's mistake at all. It's natural for him to be angry after being deceived. I would also be angry if he lied to me. I might be even worse. It is my fault for not telling him. But I was planning to tell him slowly after everything will be settled, not this early. Shit..." King Raleigh laid on the couch thinking about Ives. Ives looked so weak and frail after he slapped him. He knew Ives was disappointed w

"You did well, Blaine." Lady Blaine smirked and said, "That was an easy job, uncle. Who knew that Ives would be so softhearted once if you spoke to him nicely. It was so torturing for me to talk with him." "You did a good job by tolerating him. See now the result of it. It's so satisfying." Lord Nedes said taking a sip. "Yeah but what about you uncle. What are you planning?" Lord Nedes smiled and said, "I'll tell you later but everything is going according to what I have planned."

It may take much longer time than the commanders had estimated." "How could that happen?" King Raleigh asked furrowing his eyebrows. "Those bandits were more stubborn and powerful than we had thought and they had lots of resources and ammunition for the war. It looked they were getting support from someone more powerful."King Raleigh was silent for a while and said, "Who is so powerful in the northern border?"

    King Raleigh and Ives enjoyed some peaceful time as lady Blaine went away angrily without disturbing them. King Raleigh knew he also had to tell Ives about the engagement and was thinking how Ives would react. He was still hugging Ives from behind and Ives was leaning on his chest. He kissed Ives's neck and said, "You know, I love you right." Ives slightly smiled and said, "Yes." Yes, I know even if you treated me like shit.

He would sometimes sleep in inns and sometimes outside. After getting tired for a whole day, he would sleep with the memories of Ives. The fact that Ives may be alive somewhere was keeping him going desperately. He was wearing normal black pants and a white shirt with a cravat.

He used to ask every people he met but still, there was not any progress. It was always a failure. Sometimes fear kept welling from his heart thinking the god may not want him to meet Ives. Every night he used to have a nightmare of Ives being happy without him.
