Ken watched the woman chat with Hakyeon. He knew her and he never wanted to see her again, but life had decided otherwise. He still remembered the words she had told him. She was angry with him and Ken could understand her. He was ashamed to stand in front of her again, and he was also scared. He did not want to let Hakyeon see that fear, yet it was there. Ken knew the barbarity of this woman for living with her for years. He absolutely did not want to be his target. He tried not to make her notice his presence, yet the woman turned to him, and as soon as her eyes met his, she burst onto him. Ken saw her abandon her discussion with Hakyeon to get closer to him. She was furious. "How dare you set foot in this place? Are you not afraid of me, or do you think my threats are only words of no importance?» Shouted the queen of the rebellious. Ken stepped back. No, he knew that this woman's words were important because she always managed to reach her goal. "I ... I ..." he tried to explain. "Lee Jaehwan, the day you let my brother die should have been the day you died. Do you really think I'll let you live knowing that you killed my brother, your own double?» Yelled the woman, raising her hand. Ken knew he was going to suffer. No sentence, no argument would succeed in appeasing this woman. She did not want to forgive him. She wanted him dead. Ken closed his eyes waiting for the slap, but nothing came. When he opened his eyes, one hand held the queen's arm. "I'm sorry, but I can not accept that you're hurting this man," Ravi's hoarse voice said. It made the queen even more angry. She pulled her hand away and stared at Ravi. Her observation aggravated her fury. "How dare you choose another double after the death of my brother? How dare you choose a demon as a double?» Said the queen, attacking. "No, it's not ..." Ken started, but he did not have time to finish his sentence. Ravi pulled him towards him and moved to avoid the queen's attack. Ken knew that the queen was quick and aggressive in her attacks, but Ravi too. Despite her quick blows, she could not touch them. Ravi always managed to change his position before the attack. It was as if he was able to slip. Ken felt light in Ravi's arms. He did not even know why Ravi wanted to help and protect him, but he appreciated the gesture. Without him, he might be dead or hurt.

"Enough," yelled Hakyeon. He's tired of seeing this woman trying to hurt his friend. Ken was his best friend and it was because of him that he was in danger. He had to defend him. "That's enough, I order you to stop. These people are under my protection, "says Hakyeon. The queen turned to him furiously. "You have nothing to order me. Here it's me who decides. Here you are nothing. I took an oath of allegiance to your father, the king, but not to you. So, I have the right to life and death over you, "said the queen. "I am the only heir to the king, so I do not think he will forgive you for touching or hurting his only son," Hakyeon replied. "You are nothing but a fallen prince. Your father has denied you, "said the queen. Hakyeon knew she was right, but he could not let her keep the power. "My father can not deny me. Moreover, despite all your threats, you can not conquer me, I'm stronger than you, "Hakyeon challenged. The queen gave him a triumphant smile. "Who tells you that I will fight with you?» She said before beckoning to her hive members to attack. Hakyeon put himself in a fighting position. Yet he felt a hand resting on his arm and pulling him back. "There are far too many of them, let me take care of them," said Leo. Hakyeon refused to see that. Leo alone could not beat everyone, he had to help him. They had to fight together to have a chance to win. Hakyeon tried to fight but Leo challenged him to make a move. "Trust me," he told him. Leo turned to Ravi and made a sign. Then he turned to Hyuk: " Do like Ravi, and above all, neither Hongbin nor you should see me or hear me," he said. Hyuk nodded and turned to Ravi. He was shocked.

Ken did not understand. What was going to happen? Because of him, Hakyeon and the others were threatened. He had to fight and protect his friends. But when he wanted to fight, he felt Ravi take his arm and force him to face him. Then Ravi put his hands on his ears and asked him to close his eyes. Ken refused. No, he did not want to let his friends fight alone. No, he wanted to help. He struggled to free himself, but Ravi held on. Ken thumped his hands and kicks. But Ravi tightened his embrace and imprisoned his lips. Ken felt weird at first. What was Ravi doing? He hardly knew this man, besides he was a demon. He did not want that between them. But contrary to his thoughts, his body reacted differently. He felt lost in Ravi's kiss and unwittingly Ken closed his eyes. Ravi still had his hands on his ears.

Hyuk and Hongbin did as Ravi and Ken did. They did not understand the situation, but Leo had asked them to trust him. They could not hear or see anything. They closed their eyes and each one covered with his hands the ears of his double. They were alone in their universe. What they did not see was that Leo's demon had just manifested itself. The hall was getting darker and darker. But that was not all. The vampires in the room were beginning to feel weird. Some shook their heads as if there was something in their heads. Others seemed to see things that did not exist. Had they gone mad? Hakyeon was shocked to see this show. " What is happening ?» He asked. "It's an illusion spell. They are too numerous for us to defeat them all. So I cast an illusion spell. They will be in this state for a few hours, this will give us time to leave this place, "said Leo's demon. "Is that why you asked Hyuk and Hongbin to cover their ears and close their eyes?» Hakyeon asked. Leo nodded. "It's a violent spell that can make a person crazy, so it would be dangerous for them. Ravi is immune because he's from the same family as me, but not Ken, Hyuk and Hongbin, "says Leo's demon. " And me ? Why i do not have anything?» Hakyeon asked. Leo's demon gave him an enigmatic smile. "Is it because I'm your double?» Hakyeon asked again. For answer, Leo came closer to him and put his hand on his cheek. Hakyeon noticed that he had something bestial in his eyes. Moreover, it was the first time he saw Leo, not leo but his demon taking the first step towards him. Was he beginning to accept him ?

The friends ran through the forest to be as far from the hive as possible before the vampires regained consciousness. They had to find a safe shelter before sunrise. For that, they had to move quickly. Yet after a while, wolf cries were heard. It was like early in the night, they had been saved by the hive of vampires, but this time they had no protection left. They should succeed in sowing them or they should fight. They were not sure they would succeed in defeating them all. They continued running, but a great white wolf jumped over their heads and blocked their way. The time for them to change their path and they were surrounded. They put themselves in a fighting position. One of the wolves then approached them and began to recover his human form. He headed straight for Hakyeon. "Prince of the cold blood, our king asks to meet you," said the man. Then he turned to Leo: "It's been awhile since we've seen each other," he said. Leo opened his eyes wide. Did he know this man? A memory came back to him as soon as his eyes met the smile of the unknown. "LA ... LAY?» He said.
