Arriving on an empty alley. The prince gaze at the latter in awe. He already knew the man was good-looking but he didn't expect that his looks are ethereal and out of this world.

Just Looking straight into his silvery eyes made it feel like he is gazing at the elegant moon in the dark starry night.

He hate to admit it but even his beloved stand no chance at his natural beauty but no matter what. The lady will always still be the winner of his heart.

"...Why did you lead me here?" His tone is calm yet his eyes were serious.

Yuriel smiled a little and without hesitation, He said his intention to the crown prince.

" I want to make a Deal with you, Your higness. And i don't take no as an answer." A smirk then formed on his lips which made the prince stand on his guard.

Yes, He's the person who helped him defeat the powerful demon but that doesn't mean He should let his guard down yet. The man might be faking his 'act of helping'.

"Oh, don't be too cautious. I'm not planning to destroy anything except for my enemies. And it seems like we have the same one too." His words peeked the interest of the prince and looked at him.

"You.... What do you know abou--"

"I know everything, Your highness. Everything. I even know what the enemies real goal was." Yuriel is smiling from ear to ear after he saw the baffled on the prince's face.

'This guy...... is way too serious than i thought.' He gulped as He glanced at the ethereal Being infront of him. He doesn't know if he can be trusted or not But one things for sure.... He's on their side.

They have the same enemy, and judging from his performance awhile ago. It seems He is trying to minimize the destruction of his power to not give the People of the empire a hard time on repairing.

Just from that small detail. He knows that the latter isn't a bad guy.

Sighs.

"What is the Deal all about?" He asked which made the latter smile even more.

It seems to be the right decision to help him fight the demon or He might need to use force with the prince, which is a no-no for him.

He snapped his finger which confused the prince But latter on, He found himself in a galaze themed void.

He was amazed by the beauty of the void.

Stars shimmering like fine crystals, circular planets moving slowly, and the splendid contrast and mixture of the color black, violet, and white made the prince's jaw open and close for a few seconds.

He just finally got back to his own self When He heard the latter chuckle from his dazed expression.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" He said which earned a nod from the prince.

"It is, indeed."

He smiled before sitting on a chair.

The prince's eyes widens and glance at the latter with a questioning look

He was confused on how a chair suddenly appear next to the latter.

"I'll tell you next time about it but first, let's discuss the things for our deal, shall we?" A chair appeared again next to the prince indicating that he too, should sit.

He thanked the latter before sitting down and their discussion starts.

"Like what i have said, i want to propose a deal that can be useful for the both of us. I will give you informations that you don't have... despite having the best informant in the empire." He said as the prince's eyes flashed, almost threatening yuriel to not say anything.

The latter saw it and just smiled like he said nothing wrong.

The prince calmed himself and sighed before looking at the white haired man infront of him.

"How can i be sure that you are not lying?" He glanced seriously at the latter to see if any small suspicious reaction will come out but none of it happened.

"You don't need to believe me right now but i will give you a gift in advance." Yuriel stand up and started walking to the prince's direction.

Leaning closely to his ear. The prince widens his eyes in fear and disbelief.

"A maid will poison the drink of your mother, the empress next month in the middle of her tea with the poison named 'Zefohret'."

The void that is surrounding them suddenly disappeared and they are back at the alley way they are in.

Yuriel took a communication device that is in the form of a polished stone and gave it to the stiff prince.

"Call me if you're ready to agree with our deal next month. I'll see you around, Crown Prince Flynn Aku Zyair Casentine." A circle appeared on the latter's feet.

The prince flinched when the man called his full name as he tried to call the mysterious latter but he quickly vanished into thin air.

'Teleportation spell? And he didn't even chant anything....' He has a disbelief look on his face as he remembered the latter's advance gift.

'Zefohret' is a deadly poison that cost billions of golden coins and doesn't have a cure. It is an effective poison for those who wants their target to slowly die while suffering in pain. It is like a person experiencing torture inside his flesh.

It won't be easily noticed. Even the greatest pharmacist and doctor won't know that a poison is slowly killing their patient.

It is scentless, tasteless and colorless. A perfect tool for a clean assassination.

His face darkens even more after thinking about his mother suffering in pain with the poison.

If the mysterious latter really says the truth then.... He can't possibly allow that to happen.

He clenched the stone on his hand and turned around as he started walking back to the heroine's direction.

He still needs to make sure that everyone is fine including his beloved.

While the latter went back to his two companions who are chilling like a chaos didn't even happened in the first place.

He shook his head as he teleported them back to their inn safely.

——————————————————————————

In a place far away from cities and kingdoms.

Huge mountains were formed as it touches the clouds halfway.

Huge mass of trees are keeping away intruders from going on top of the mountain peek. Trying to find out what is lying on top.

Going through the clouds and to the highest part of a tallest mountain. The sun shines brightly.

Life can be seen from the healthy trees and plants.

In the middle, lays a beautiful grey castle that is old considering that some bricks are on the step of collapsing.

Inside the castle. A figure of a man was standing near the huge window.

His dark midnight hair was messy, indicating that he just woke up from his sleep as his golden eyes gazing at the scenery yet his eyes filled with emptiness and sadness.

"Where are you.....

my love....."
