"I beg you to help me. Despite my years of loyal service to the late King, his son wants to kill me. He is a cruel and arrogant king. He does not respect us, his advisers. He respects only one man named Ravi who follows him anywhere. The people are hungry, but he continue to plunder the property of the crown. He even stole all my belongings, and threatened to attack my family. So, I fled. I fled to save my life, and to ask for the clemency of my lord. Only you can save us from the tyranny of this man. The blood of royalty flows through your veins. You can claim the throne and become our future king. My friends and I are convinced that you would make a good and kind king, "said the head of the council, prostrating himself before the man. The latter invited him to get up. "Is it true that my cousin did all this?» The man asked. The head of council nodded. "I have even suspicions that he would be involved in the death of the late king," he says. The man shook his head. "No, I do not know enough about my cousin, but it seems impossible that he can kill his own father to access the throne. Moreover, he was living in another country at that time, "said the man. "We think he would have hired a mercenary, a criminal to poison the king. Given his thirst for power, we would not be surprised if he confessed his crime, "said the head of the council. The man took the time to think about his words. He examined the situation and made his decision. "Head of the council. I have known you for years and you have always been with my uncle, the late king. So, I believe in your words. If this king is bad for his people, then we must act and deprive him of his power. I will put my army at your disposal to fight this tyrant. I will immediately give the order. In the meantime, you are welcome to my home.» The man said. The head of the council thanked him by prostrating himself.

When the king's naked body moved against him, Ravi felt he was going to lose control. It had been two weeks now. Two weeks since the head of the council had fled the city before being caught by the king's soldiers. Two weeks that Hakyeon had confronted the other members of the council and threatened to kill them if they did not tell him the truth. Everyone had spoken, and the more people confessed their sins, the more it became clear that the head of the council was guilty. The most active members of the council against the king had been forgiven on the condition of leaving the city and never returning to it again. The others had lost some of their status. New recruits had become board members just like Leo, Ken, Hongbin and Hyuk. Yes, it had been two weeks since the tension had subsided and peace seemed to be raging in the country. Two weeks that Ravi was trying to figure out who Hakyeon was? Two weeks that he had promised not to touch the king if he did not tell him the truth. Two weeks, he lived in torture because Hakyeon spared him no seductive gesture. Still, Ravi had stood firm. But he felt that it would soon be the end. He was not able to resist the king and above all he was curious and excited by the desire to discover the pleasure of the flesh in the company of the king. Hakyeon's hand slipped on his back and went down to his buttocks. Hakyeon began kissing his neck deliberately leaving marks on his skin and making rather suggestive sounds. "Hakyeon .... uh ..... wait ..... no ..... not tonight," Ravi tried to say. But the king did not listen to him. Hakyeon continued kissing his skin and went down on his belly. The further he went, the more Ravi's head began to empty. He was really going to lose control and forget his promise. In a burst of consciousness, Ravi pushed back Hakyeon. The king then stared at him and gave him a smile. "Do you really think you can resist me?» Hakyeon said before melting on his lips. It was no longer a game. Hakyeon was serious and Ravi accepted his defeat. He then placed Hakyeon on the bed and climbed above him. He could feel the excitement of the king now. Ravi thought he was going crazy. He slid his hand on the bare buttocks of the king, but the door opened at that moment with a crash. Ravi only had time to cover the king with his body.

The soldier who entered the room was shocked for a second and then he gave his back to the stage and crouched on the ground to ask for forgiveness. "I beg your pardon my king, but an urgent new has just arrived," he said. Hakyeon got out of bed angrily. He took some sheets and covered himself with them, then he faced the soldier. "How many times must I say that it is forbidden to enter my room without asking for my approval? Do you want to die young?» Hakyeon said coldly and threateningly. The soldier began to tremble with fear. He kept his head down and continued to ask for forgiveness. "May the King please forgive me, I am only the bearer of an urgency new that the king must know," said the soldier. Hakyeon motioned him to speak. "An army is in the direction of the city. They will be here in half a day and intend to make war on us. The council members are already notified and they are on their way to discuss with the king, "said the soldier. Hakyeon turned to Ravi. They both understood what was at stake in an impending war. " I understood. Let them know that I'm coming, "said the king, heading for his clothes. Ravi also went out of bed to get dressed. The soldier ran out of the room.

"What are our chances of winning?» Asked the king. "They're thin," Leo replied. "Their army is three times bigger than ours, we will be defeated by the number," said one of the council members. "The coat of arms is your blood cousin's. I do not know the reason for his rebellion. But if he intends to attack us, then he wants the throne. If you do not defend yourself, he'll kill you my king, "said another council member. Hakyeon knew very well the consequences of a power struggle: the winner became the new king and the loser had to die. There was no feeling in politics. If this man managed to beat them, then Ravi and him would lose their lives. He absolutely had to keep control and succeed in defeating this man and his army. For that, he knew only one solution, but this way also put him in danger. For years, he had hidden this secret. For years, he had living like a dead person. He could not reveal everything today, but if he did not do it, he would be dead for real. Was Ravi worth it to pay this price? Was he really responsible for the lives of these people? All he had to do was to run away. Escape the situation as he did a few years ago. He could flee and keep his secret, maybe he will be able to make a new life elsewhere. But then what will happen to Ravi? No, he could not run away because he had sworn an oath. He had sworn on his life to protect Ravi, so he was going to fulfill his vows even if the consequences would be disastrous for him. He turned to the council: "Give the order to gather our army. We are going to war, "said the king. The council members nodded. "I can lead our army in battle," says Ravi, proposing himself. Hakyeon shook his head. "No, I already have someone to lead the battle. You, I need you by my side, "said the king.

Ravi understood the delicate situation in which his country was. But he did not understand why Hakyeon refused to see him go to war. He said he had a henchman. Who could it be? Everyone knew he was the man of the situation. He had studied the art of war for years and had gone to the field several times. His name was known and cited among the biggest battles. So why did not Hakyeon let him lead his army? Their chances of survival were slim, so they had to find a good strategy to not lose a lot of men and win the battle. Ravi followed Hakyeon to his room. He expected the king to get ready for the war, but to his surprise he saw Hakyeon open a drawer and pull out a red lantern. The king lit the lantern and opened the window. Then he let the lantern fly through the air. Ravi thought he detected a familiar smell. He had already smelled this smell in the room several times. The king closed the window and turned to him. "I'm sorry, Ravi," said Hakyeon. Sorry? Why ? wondered Ravi. Something was wrong. Ravi felt a presence then. A man entered quietly through the window. Ravi recognized this man. He was the same person Hakyeon was secretly talking to from time to time. The man was shocked to see Ravi and tried to run away. "No, do not leave. It's me who allowed him to participate in this conversation, "said the king. The man felt more comfortable. He approached the king and greet him. "I received your call my king. What can I do for you ?» He asked, bowing. "Tell my army to be ready. We are going to war, "said the king. The man was astonished, but he did not discuss the orders of his king. "How many men must we send?» He asked. "All my army. Told the captain to be ready to lead my army and that of this country. I will give a decree in this favor. I know you must be surprised. For years, we watched the world act without ever intervening, but this time, I can not remain inactive. The lives of people I care about, are in risk, so we will act and win this battle, "said the king. The man greeted him and disappeared as he had come.

Ravi was looking at Hakyeon and this man without really reacting. He was more and more lost. He seemed to have another man in front of him. Hakyeon had his own army? Since when ? Why ? He had so many questions to ask, and the more he looked at Hakyeon, the more he was afraid to discover the secret behind this man. Would he still love him if he knew the real Hakyeon? His gaze crossed that of the king, and Ravi froze. Hakyeon was sad. That, he could see it, but why? Was Hakyeon a bad person? Yet, to his knowledge, Hakyeon had never betrayed him. He was hiding secrets from him, but he had never betrayed him. He had kept his promise to help him discover his father's killer. So why had he asked for forgiveness? "Ravi, I .... I ..." Hakyeon began. "You have your own army. Why ?» Ravi interrupted him. Hakyeon's face closed. "You'll find out soon enough, because after today I can not hide my secret anymore.» Said the king, drawing near him. "But I beg you not to hate me. If you love me a little and consider me as a friend and ally, then I beg you to not hate me.» Said the king before placing a kiss on his cheek and leaving the room. Ravi was even more lost. Who could be Hakyeon, and what had he done in his life? He did not know, but he was certain of one thing: who or whatever Hakyeon might be, he would not hate him. He could never hate him because he loved him.
