"Get out," Hakyeon said furiously as he entered his private apartments. The servants who were there then left the room. As soon as they left, the king turned to Ravi. He was angry. Ravi too. " Are you crazy ? How dare you ask me to kill you in front of the whole council? I remind you that the important person is you, not me. You just put me in a delicate situation, "said Hakyeon, trying to calm the tone of his voice. Ravi glared at him. "Me, the madman? On the contrary, you are the sadist who wants me to fight.» Ravi replied. "What did you want me to do? If I had accepted your proposal, your head would no longer be on your shoulders right now.» Yelled Hakyeon. "You had only to say beautiful words as you know how to do it. It was enough for you to coax the members of the council. You did not have to make me fight, "Ravi yelled. "You offended the king, I would have been a coward if I had not challenged you. You had to be punished, "said Hakyeon. "I only did my duty. If you behaved like a king, then I would not have to watch over you, "said Ravi. Hakyeon was shocked. "I behave like a king," he says. "No, you behave like a capricious child every time you see this Leo. Do you have any idea who he is? You do not even know him and you cling to him without decency. You're a king, have a little honor, "said Ravi. Hakyeon turned his back on him and went to sit in front of a table full of manuscripts. He took one and pretended to read. "The discussion is not over," says Ravi. "Yes, it finished. You will face Leo in front of the citizens of this country, and the winner will become my new right hand man, "said Hakyeon. "Why should I face Leo? I have no time to lose, I have research to do, "said Ravi. "It is you who becomes angry every time you see me near him. So I give you the perfect excuse to let off steam. You will fight Leo. If you win, your fault will be forgiven and you will remain my right arm. But if Leo wins, then he will take your place and I could have him by my side every day without you complaining. It was you who wanted to have free time. Congratulations, your freedom reaches out to you.» Hakyeon said. These remarks had only increased Ravi's rage. "What do you find in this man? I remind you that he is the son of the head of the council, so an enemy potential "says Ravi. Hakyeon gave him a big smile. " I already told you. This man pleases me well.» He said. Ravi turned his back on him without a hitch

"My son is not aware of the situation, so it will be necessary to act softly," said the head of the council. His friends around the table nodded and lifted their cups of wine. "To the success of our project," they said before drinking the wine. The head of the council stroked his beard. At last he was going to have his revenge on this impolite king. His plan was well established and he trusted the executor.

"Why did the king choose you?» Ken asked. " I do not know. My father says that I have to face the right arm of the king, and that it is the king himself who chose me. I feel honored. I will accept the challenge and defend the colors of the king, "said Leo. "No, that's not the meaning of my question. I want to know why the king would choose you when he already has people to defend him. Besides, you're not the most skilled blade in the country. it's Hyuk. So why would the king choose you? I do not know the answer, but I feel like he's interested in you, and I do not like it, "says Ken. "Is he interested in me? What do you mean by that ?» Leo asked. "Have you not noticed how he behaves in your presence? He sticks to you and wants you to stay next to him. I do not like that. I remind you that we have a pact, "said Ken. "I have not forgotten our pact, just as I do not think the king is interested in me. Do you no longer trust me?» Leo asked. Ken looked at him for a long time before giving in. "Yes, I trust you," he said, snuggling into Leo's arms.

The fight lasted a long time. The crowd was delirious and everyone wanted to see this man who passed for the right arm of the king. The king had said that he knew how to fight, so the population kept watching his movements and commenting on his actions. Leo was a child of this country and people had seen him fight, but they were amazed at the support that the king brought to Leo. So they had all started to support Leo. Yet Ravi was fighting well. The two men spared no blows. They even had battle injuries, but neither of them wanted to lose the fight. Leo wanted to win for his king's honor, and Ravi wanted to give Leo and Hakyeon a lesson. He had fought all kinds of people, so he was not afraid of this Leo. Ravi ducked Leo's sword blade and spun, pointing his sword at his opponent's side. One shot and he could seriously hurt Leo. Yet at that moment, Ravi felt a pain in his right side. Looking down, he noticed an arrow planted in his body. Who could have shot him an arrow? He only had time to hear the cries of the crowd, as well as Hakyeon's voice. Ravi fell to the floor, unconscious.

When Ravi opened his eyes, he was lying on a bed in a dark room. Candles were lit to keep a little light in the room. He recognized the king's room. Ravi tried to get up but a pain in his right side made him give up trying. He felt someone wake up with a start. It was Hakyeon. He seemed tired, Ravi remarked. He was sitting next to the bed and holding a tissue in his hands. Ravi also noticed a bowl of water on the floor. Had Hakyeon been standing beside him to take care of him? wondered Ravi. He saw his king looking at him with worried eyes. "Did I win?» Ravi asked. That made Hakyeon laugh. "You stayed unconscious for two days, and that's all you have to say?» Hakyeon asked. Ravi opened his eyes wide. " Two days ?» He asked. He saw Hakyeon lean toward him and rest his head on his chest. "Someone wanted to kill you with a poisoned arrow. The scientists did everything they could but you did not wake up. So I thought we were going to lose you. I was worried, "said the king in a sad voice. Ravi understood the situation. "You know I'm not so easy to kill, so you do not have to worry about me," Ravi said, trying to make Hakyeon laugh. But he does not smile. He seemed sad and worried for him. Ravi was amazed. During the fight, the king supported Leo, yet at that moment, he seemed to be suffering from seeing him hurt. He even watched over him. Ravi felt happy. He raised his hand and put it on Hakyeon's head. He stroked his hair gently. Hakyeon let him do. They stayed in that position for minutes before the king got up. "I swear I'll find the culprit and charge him the attack," Hakyeon said. Ravi nodded. Hakyeon also nodded before turning his back on him. He was leaving the room. Ravi panicked. He quickly took Hakyeon's hand and stopped him in his gesture. " Where are you going ?» He said. "I have to find another place to sleep. I will also take the opportunity to ask that we send you food. You need to regain your strength, "said the king. Ravi shook his head. He patted the place next to him in the bed. "We do not know who wanted to kill me, so I prefer to sleep safely. Nobody should know that I woke up. In any case, not for the moment. Not until I can regain my strength and defend myself from an attack. So, we will act as if I were still unconscious. So you spend the night here, "said Ravi. Hakyeon looked at him for a few seconds. A smile appeared on his face. "Um ... I did not think about that, but it's a great idea. I sleep here. After all, it's my room, "says Hakyeon. "The king's room, so technically mine," Ravi answered. In response, Hakyeon removed the ribbon that held his hair and dropped it on his shoulders. He opened the piece of fabric that held him down and dropped his hanbok to the floor. Ravi held his breath. Hakyeon had one of the most beautiful skin he had ever seen. He saw him slip under the covers and turn in the bed to face him. His face was way too close to his. And Ravi realized even more the beauty of his henchman. He could not help but put his hand on his face. "Why Leo?» He asked. Hakyeon gave him a smile. "Because he's the head council's son. Have you ever heard this proverb: be close to your friends, but even more to your enemies? "Asked Hakyeon. Ravi looked at him in astonishment. "So all this was part of a plan?» He asked. Hakyeon nodded. "I have to get closer to Leo to find out who he is and who is really the head of the council. I want to know if it's a friend or an enemy, "said Hakyeon. Ravi looked at him stunned. Decidedly, he liked the intelligence of this man.

"Our plan has succeeded. The king has no more allies. Now it's up to us to manipulate him as we please, "said the chief's friends. The latter raised his glass of wine. "I promised you. With me, none of you will be disappointed. So stay faithful to me, for my friends and allies I am magnanimous , but i am without mercy for my enemies, "said the head of the council. His friends greeted him and drank to his honor.
