who have black hair. This made the queen more jealous of her--thinking that she was a witch that has bewitched the king. And so came the day that she's most afraid of.

 

The Queen learned that the peasant woman was bearing a child but instead she ordered that palace maid to keep this a secret from others, including the king. She told the peasant woman to hide this fact and instead the queen announce to all that she's finally became pregnant with the king's first child.

 

She asks the king and all to leave her alone with her most trusted palace maid and the king's second wife to assist and help her during her pregnancy. So for one year they live together on the queen's manor, unknown to all that it was the second wife who was pregnant and not her.

 

And so the peasant woman gave birth to a boy who was announced as the kingdom crown prince as well. The queen was glad to see that the boy has a black hair that he got from the king's genes and not the silver hair his real mother has.

 

Five years has passed since then but the queen noticed that the king's affection was still with her and his newborn child. It was as if she was out of the king's eyes even if she made sure to be the only one close to him. And to her surprised she learned that the peasant woman was gave birth to the king's second child.

 

The queen became restless and thought that not only this might take the king away from her more than what is now, she's always concern that the peasant woman might blabber the truth behind the secret of the king's first child. The second child although it's a girl, she has the same red eyes that the king's first child had, which made the other think that it was actually the second wife child and not of the queen.

 

One day the queen ordered some of his men to kidnapped and kill the peasant woman and her newborn child to get her away from her and her king's life. The peasant woman was able to escape with her child and got helped from her childhood friend who was a general of a small country.

 

The general who protected the peasant woman died from the hands of the queen's men and his own men who was bribe and betrayed him back then. But he was able to pass this story of an unknown to his foster son who made a promise to avenge his death.

 

And so that foster child of the general after he climbed his way to the top promised to avenged her foster father death and make all the people who caused his death to pay for their sins. He then started his plan by ordering one of his men to leave a secret letter to the king and let him know the truth about his queen and the disappearance of her beloved.

 

"That foster son was not surprised to hear that the queen just suddenly disappeared and said to be killed by an unknown enemy"  Said by General Shin; who was waiting for the reaction of the prince after he heard this story. An awkward silence then follows as both of them stares at each other.

 

Prince Rene close his eyes and then take a deep breathe out "The same case with that king's first child on that story who was told to keep this as a secret from his father himself" said by general Rene, half smiling  and then he walk closer to the general.

 

"That King and his child are willing to do anything in order to find their two beloved women, he added, Even if we have to work with an enemy with a hidden devil's plan" he strongly told him and then reach out his hand to him to mark his allegiance with the white devil in front of him.

 

General Shin smirked "I'm glad you enjoyed this little story of an unknown I've been wanting to tell you" General Shin said to him as he reach out to the prince hands to shake hands with him.

 

Fated Meeting With The Red Haired Devil

In sync with the music that was being played was her movement and her red hair that flows with it. She entice everyone in this place where one can find and enjoy all kinds of pleasure. The woman who has caught all men gazes, making other women inside the house jealous of her who was getting all the attention from their wealthy customers, was smiling like a devil who has perfectly let them fall into her spell.

 

  Kai was wearing a red floral Kimono with his long red hair down letting it flows as he moves. He was holding a paper fan that he flips open and close as he dances, while giving suggestive looks on the men inside who was watching her every movement.   

 

"I hope things on his side was getting good as well" Kai who was lost in thinking muttered, as he dances in front of the men who was seduced by his beauty, no woman in the kingdom can be compared.

 

Kai can hardly hold his laugh as he watches these men inside looking at him with such lustful eyes, not knowing that he was actually a man. But somewhat this also made him want to puke, thinking how disgusting they all look to him. But for the sake of his plan he must swallow all of these.

 

Kai and General Shin decided that they must get as much as many information that might be helpful on their current situation and in the future as well. And for them there's only one place one can get such important information, and that will be inside a prostitute pub house where high ranking officials and men gathers.

 

While the general was away he again disguised himself as a woman and work for the mean time inside the town's famous prostitute house. For just a few days she was able to gather important information and learned names that will be helpful someday to Hellas.

 

Tonight should be the last one that he will be here and hoped that nothing will happen that will ruin their plans. That was until she was told that an important high ranking official from a foreign land who came recently to their kingdom, insist to see her and even paid a large amount of gold and silver to be with him for the night. He doesn't want to look suspicious so he accepted the offer and told the manager of the pub that this will be the last time he's going to work with them. Kai thought that if that customer try to do something funny to her he will just need to kill him secretly and escape.

 

As he entered the room he felt two men hiding behind with such murderous aura and in front of him was a man who was wearing white cloak with his two swords beside him, making him alarmed on what's going on but he tried to remain calm and pretend that he did not notice the other men hiding behind.

 

"Who would have thought that I'll meet you earlier than what I expected? And it was here in Arias of all place" The man smirked and then walk closer to him.

 

"Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone" Kai told him calmly and faking a smile, while trying to remember if he had met him before.

 

 He chuckles on the sight of her trying to hide her nervousness with her awkward smile "My name is Hawk, General Hawk from the kingdom of Cyrene" He told Kai as he lean forward, moving closer to his face and suddenly grabbed his red hair towards him, then kissed Kai.

 

He kissed him so deep that Kai can barely stand and breath, but still he was able to push him back and then draw the hidden dagger he had. Kai also did not fail to be alert and get ready to fight as well the other two men who was hiding behind that might jump at him anytime.

 

 It was unknown to General Hawk, that Kai was hiding a poisoned needle inside his mouth that will killed anyone the instant it pricks him. He got this ready earlier in case needed.

 

He grunt and then spits his blood on the floor "That's what you get from being heated and excited so fast...you pervert general!" Kai told him mockingly while grinning--thinking that it's a matter of time before he dies.

 

But opposite of what he's hoping for, the general suddenly grabbed his hand then pinned him against the wall. He then knuckles his hand that's holding the dagger, making him dropped it on the floor. General Hawk open his mouth and showed him while grinning as well, the needle that was supposed to kill him that was caught between his teeth.

 

"Hahaha...so I was not mistaken it was really you, the red haired devil that I saw earlier, or should I say nice to see you again, Maria!" He shouted excitedly and  gave an eerie laugh that can be heard on the whole place.

 

Kai froze "How would this man knows immediately that I was Maria?" he then shift his gaze on his dagger that he dropped earlier.

 

"Tsk! Let go of me! I don't know what you are talking about!" Kai shouted as he struggle in order to escape from the general's hand.

 

"It's useless to pretend that you are not Maria, just one look in your eyes I know that it was you!" he let out a soft laugh and grabbed his arms tighter.

 

"You think this is enough to stop me?" Kai smirked and then shoved back as far as he could, he elbowed him on the stomach then turn around his body and gave him a kick which made the general loose his balance.

 

Kai then picks up the dagger on the floor and  turn his gaze on the exit door. He then run outside the room not wasting even a second. Panting, he then saw a faint glint of light on her left side but he quickly move out of its range and avoided the blade. Kai gasp as he saw three strands of his hair floats in the air. Kai's gaze flick on the man who attacked him so he twisted around and slice him through his throat. 

 

He grimace on the sight of the blood as the man fell down, with his eyes wide open --but he cannot stop. He can't allow himself being caught by the hands of this men and die here meaningless. It slips out of his mind that there are two of them and so he was caught off guard by the other man behind him. The edge of his blade caught his arm that's holding the dagger," Urg!" it makes him greet his teeth as it sent a sharp tearful pain to him.

 

The man then grabs him, encircling his arms on him. Kai, ignoring the pain on his arm, twist the dagger on his hands so that it will face backwards and then shove it back. The man groans as the dagger thrust into the side of his stomach. He then release Kai while he stumbles away and fell down to his knees.
