Why did he do that? Why had he kissed Hakyeon? He knew well that by dint of frequenting this man, this seducer, he would end up committing a stupidity. Blinded by his thirst for avenging the death of his father, Ravi had lost interest in the pleasures of life. He had no one he could compare to a loved one, to a person he loved. He had his mentor, but he was an old man. No, Ravi needed a woman's presence next to him, so maybe he'll be better able to handle Hakyeon's behavior. The day after the night he kissed him, Ravi came out of the king's room and told everyone that he was not dead. He had survived. He was not likely to survive long in Hakyeon's room, so he had come out. He had abandoned his plan to pretend to be dead; he preferred to be attacked for a second time than to undergo the temptation of the king for a long time. Ravi had been lucky. The day he had announced his return among the living, the council had received bad news.

"The head of the council asks his majesty to excuse the poor servant that he is, and to accept his excuses. An ache makes him suffer and prevent him from attending this session. The head of the council took his majesty to forgive him and hoped that the king's prayers would allow him to heal quickly and come back to you, "said a council member. Ravi was perplexed. A sudden illness. A few hours ago the head of the council was in good health. Ravi was suspicious, but he was silent. He had first to manage his return among the members of the royal court. Since morning, wherever he went, people murmured behind his back. Everyone thought he was dying. Even the council members were shocked to see him enter the council chamber with the king. Ravi pretended to ignore them. He will have to find another way to find out his father's killer. He remained standing beside the king, who remained dignified and pretended that his right arm had never been sick. As always, Hakyeon's ability to play delighted Ravi. He listened to the members greet the king and explain the absence of the head of the council. As soon as the king heard the excuses, he rushed to the bottom of the stairs and asked for news. "An evil from which he suffers? Since when ? Why did not anyone warn me? The chief of the council is one of my best servants, I must absolutely help him. I would not let him suffer from any illness. I will immediately assist him. Ravi follow me, "said Hakyeon, heading for the exit. The council members looked at him with astonishment. They then tried to dissuade the king from visiting the head of the council, but Hakyeon did not listen to them and walked quickly to get his horse.

Ravi was dead laughing. Decidedly, he adored this man. He had done well to choose Hakyeon as a substitute. He did not even know, how Hakyeon had such an idea. He had disembarked in the house of the head of the council with his cortege and decreed that he would live in his house to personally attend to his cure. The same evening, the head of the council had confessed to the king that he was cured. Hakyeon had refused this miraculous cure and had posted soldiers in front of the door of the council chief's room stating that it was for his good. Hakyeon often visited him with a healthy decoction that looked more like poison for Ravi. For nothing in the world, he would want to be in the place of the chief of council right now. He preferred to be locked in a room with the king. For days, Hakyeon had not delivered any tasty food to the head of the council. The only thing he was entitled to was dishes specially prepared for him. Herbal dishes that were supposed to help him heal faster. Ravi had seen the head of the council on his arrival the first day. He did not look like someone sick at all. But he was sure that with the dishes prepared according to the king's instructions, the head of the council would end up getting sick for real.

Ravi had no sympathy for the head of the council, so he did not oversee the king's efforts to help his healing. On the contrary, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spy on the house and see if the head of the council was involved in the death of his father. Unfortunately, Leo, the son of the head of the council and his friends were present in the house every day and this did not allow Ravi to conduct his investigation. One person that did not seem to bother, was Hakyeon. He was delighted by Leo's presence in the house. Everyday, Hakyeon joined Leo and his friends around a table, and they talked for hours while drinking tea and eating biscuits. Ravi did not like that. He remained standing next to the king and ensured his safety. He had never agreed to sit with them despite repeated requests from Leo's friends. Ravi knew them now. He could all quote their names as well as say their profession. Ravi watched the king laugh with them and he felt a twinge in his heart. Hakyeon was still sitting next to Leo. His desire to be close to Leo was still there, but Ravi had noticed a change. Usually, Hakyeon did not hesitate to touch Leo, but even while sitting next to him, Hakyeon remained dignified. Was it because of their kiss that Hakyeon behaved wisely in his presence? Ravi would have liked to believe that, and that made him proud. Since then, the kiss, Hakyeon had not approached him. Yes, he had a lot of work with the head of the council, but Ravi would have wanted ..... would have liked .... what? He did not know, but he felt frustrated and he had to find a companion as soon as possible.

"Are your parents aware that you are going out together?» The king asked, pointing to Leo and Ken. There was silence in the group. Ravi, himself, was shocked. "Um ... majesty, it's not ...." Leo began. Hakyeon gave him a smile. "Do not try to lie to your king, I'm very good at recognizing a couple when I see one," says Hakyeon. "Leo and I are friends," says Ken. "Do you really want me to believe that big lie? I read in you as easily as I read in these two: Hongbin and Hyuk, "said the king. Hongbin and Hyuk began to stress. "You're in a relationship too, are you not ?» Hakyeon asked. They did not know what to answer him. " Do not be afraid. I totally understand that kind of thing. And I'm not afraid of any kind of love, isn't it Ravi?» Said the king. On hearing his name, Ravi felt his cheeks turn red. Did Hakyeon try to expose him ? In one: he did not know that Leo was dating Ken, and he had been an idiot to feel jealous. In two: Leo and Ken were not the only ones to prefer men to women, Hyuk and Hongbin too. In three: the king seemed to find it very enjoyable and tried to embark him on this perverse game. Ravi tried to hide his blush and refused to answer Hakyeon. A laugh responded to his behavior. The king thought it was very funny. He must be the only one.

"I want him to die. I want him to die, "said the head of the council. A man wearing a martial arts outfit and having a hidden face stood next to him in the bedroom. "You wanted me to kill his right arm," the man said. "That was the old plan, now I want that king dead. He dares to occupy my house as if it were his. He took all my goods: my furniture, my vases, my golden decorations, .... and sent everything to the palace, saying that it was for my good. He is robbing me and making me poor. Does he think I've worked hard for all those years just for the wealth of the palace? No, this man made fun of me and for that he must die, "said the head of the council. The man bowed. "I would do according to your orders," he said before turning to the exit. "Wait, not now. Do not kill him while he's still at my home. That would direct all suspicions on me. Wait until he returns to the palace, then you can carry out your plan, "said the head of the council. The man greeted again and disappeared using his spy ability to go unnoticed.

"Are you sure?» Asked the king. "Yes your grace, everything shows that the head of the council is involved in a fraud. The stolen book, as well as the information obtained during our stay here, leads us to believe that he has a lot to blame. He is not the one he claims to be. He betrayed the crown, "said the man. "Do you think he has a connection with the death of the previous king?» Hakyeon asked. " I do not know yet. I should continue to do my investigations, "said the man. "Okay, keep me informed," said the king. The man bowed to the king. A noise was heard and the spy disappeared before being discovered.

Ravi blinked. He was certain to have seen a man in the company of the king, yet Hakyeon was alone in the room. Ravi went around the room but he did not see anyone. "There was a man, where did he go?» Ravi asked. Hakyeon went to sit on the bed and looked at him in astonishment. " What man ?» He asked. Ravi got angry. "I definitely saw a man stand next to you, so tell me who he was and where he is right now," said Ravi. Hakyeon was silent for a few seconds, then he leaned back and crossed his legs. He let Ravi see his long neck, part of his shoulder and his leg up to mid-thigh. Hakyeon was really attractive in this position and Ravi struggled to stay focused. "Do you not trust me anymore?" Hakyeon asked in a honeyed voice. Ravi appealed to all his concentration to stay calm. "I .... I do not know ..... I do not know anymore ..... your behavior in recent days makes me ask myself a lot of questions," says Ravi. "Do you trust me?" Hakyeon asked again, but this time with a very serious face. Ravi knew it was a test, but he had no evidence that would allow him to not trust the king. Moreover, Hakyeon had sworn allegiance to him. "I trust you," Ravi replied. Hakyeon threw himself into his arms. "Never lose your self-confidence because I never lost my trust in you," said Hakyeon. Ravi did not know what to say. This man really had a changing personality, he told himself. "I want you to pay attention to the head of the council," said the king. " Why ?» Ravi asked. "I conducted my investigation and it seems he has committed fraud. His son does not seem to be involved. I was able to enjoy my presence in this house to study father and son. They have completely different personalities. Leo and his friends are good soldiers. But his father likes to enjoy the wealth of others, that's why I took some of his goods and sent them to the palace. It will annoy him and force him to make a mistake.» Said the king. Ravi looked at him with big eyes. So, that was the reason that had pushed Hakyeon to live in this house. He wanted to study his enemies. Once again, Ravi felt proud to know this man. Hakyeon huddled in his arms. "Tell me that I did well," he said. "You did well," Ravi replied. "Show me," Hakyeon asked. Ravi then put his hand behind Hakyeon's head and leaned over to kiss the king. He was no longer afraid of the consequences. Hakyeon wanted it and to tell the truth, him too.
