Huang Dewei breathed in and out as he looked at the building in front of him. That was his destination. It was an information centre. He was wearing ordinary clothes with a mark given by Wang Lei. With one last look at the people walking on the road, he walked towards the door and entered inside.

He walked towards a man sitting on the chair as soon you entered and that man with black bread, short height and with big belly looked up towards him. Huang Dewei was worried that man might ask regarding the mask but as soon he saw him, he quickly stood up.

'Welcome, your highness has chosen a new man at last.' That man said as he pleasantly and wholeheartedly greeted him and Huang Dewei was surprised but then he just nodded his head. He probably had some arrangement with Wang Lei.

'I am not allowed to know your identity, however, I hope you are loyal to your highness and will perform your duty with sincerity.' That man said and Huang Dewei just nodded his head as he walked inside.

The information centre was huge and full of ranks of books. Any type of book anyway needed, it would be available here. It was access to the public to borrow books and then return it back after reading them.

The place was quiet and peaceful. There was no sitting place but there were a few other people looking around the books. All of them seem from rich and middle-class families. Most of the poor people were uneducated so why they would come to borrow a book.

Huang Dewei sighed and started looking at the book he needed from all the book ranks. The books were in alphabetical order so he straight went to the section he needed to be. He needed the book called 'Tale of Northern Vallery' so he went to the T section. He started looking and after a few minutes of looking, he found the book he was looking for. He took out the book and there was a sealed letter inside which Huabg Dewei carefully took out.

Without a second thought, he put the letter safely inside his robe's pocket and put the book back on the rank. His half work was done and a half was left which was safely giving the letter to Wang Lei which would be easy. Huang Dewei thought as he started walking. He passed through books rank to walk towards the main door when he stopped. His gaze fell on a book called 'Forbidden romance.' Huang Dewei took out the book and stared at it. That was Xin Ying favourite book which she used to love dearly.

It was a story of the romance between the upper class and lower class individuals who fought against all odds to become one but in the end, they both died at the hands of their families when they tried to run together. Xin Ying used to say it seem like their love story but they would make sure to have a happy ending.

Huang Dewei remembered as he leaned back on the rank and looked at the book. Huang Dewei was not a book lover nor wanted to waste his time reading some fiction. As he thought about reading books, someone else came into his mind. Someone who was reading standing near the window....someone who seem to enjoy reading. Huang Dewei suddenly wonders what kind of books he likes to read...he imagines his lips whispering to words as he reads them...his eyes moving as he reads the lines. He wonders how his imagination work as he reads the books...His thoughts were filled about him again and he frustrated sighed. What was really wrong with him? Huang Dewei cursed himself as he shook away his thoughts. Because his thoughts were getting polluted...thinking...wanting...and desiring for someone he can never have.

He looked at the book for a second then put it back on the rank and walk out. He started walking towards the palace carelessly while looking around and then he felt someone's gaze on him. He felt like someone was watching him. He stopped then looked between people and no one seem to look suspicious. He sighed and started walking again and he felt someone was walking behind him. He stopped and someone else stopped behind him too and then he started walking and the person behind him started walking too.

Huang Dewei all senses were awake as he felt ominous inside him. He suddenly stopped and turned over and he came face to face with a man standing a few feet away from him, staring towards him with a mask on his face. They both stared at each other for a few seconds and then Huang Dewei turned over and started running. He felt the other person also running after him. He started going through small streets one after another so other people could lose him but that person was as fast as Huang Dewei.

Huang Dewei kept running as he entered inside the busy market street which had people all over. It seems like a good place to not get caught. He just needs to find a place to hide, change his clothes and take off the mask. He had no idea why someone running after him but he had no intention of dying from someone's hand. He pushed through some people as his breath quicker and he was getting tired. He took a peek behind him and that person was still running after him but he was a little far away from him.

Huang Dewei turned inside a small street in a hope of losing that person and hiding behind a wall of a shop. He breathed in and out and stood still for a few seconds, waiting for that person to come but no one came. He catch his breath and came to the decision that he probably was successful in running away. He slowly came out from his hiding blind spot into the small street and he saw that person walking inside the street. He breathless looked towards him and Huang Dewei stopped.

The other person quickly took out his sword while Huang Dewei looked around and he saw no way out. He also took out his sword as they both stood in front of each other. Their swords were pointing at each other as their posture was ready to fight. They both stomped towards each other and with a bang staring their sword fight. Huang Dewei was skilled in swords whereas the other person also seemed very skilled. They attacked each other using their strength and skills while saving themselves from getting hurt.

Their fighting goes on as Huang Dewei swing his sword and it hurt the other person on his waist. Huang Dewei heard him hiss but they continued. The other person attacked more aggressively next and it cut through the shoulder of his arm. The blood spat out as Huang Dewei hissed in pain but they continued.

The fight got a little intense as the other person got closer to Huang Dewei and cornered him. He moved closer to Huang Dewei put his sword on his chest and pushed him into the wall. Huang Dewei felt trapped as he used his all physical willpower and other person used his strength to keep him in his place.

'Give me the letter...' The other person hissed as he threatened him but Huang Dewei kept on his ground. He tried to make himself free from that person's gripped

'Who are you? Who are you working for?' The other person asked next coldly and Huang Dewei looked towards him. They both can see each other's eyes but did not know who was under that mask. The other person, when received no reply from Huang Dewei, left his one hand to keep Huang Dewei in the corner while moving his other hand to remove the mask from Huang Dewei's face and Huang Dewei knew he needed to do something very fast.

Due to fact that the other person was using his only one hand to keep Huang Dewei pushed back which took away half of the other person's strength. Huang Dewei saw this as an opportunity. He moved his sword and stabbed it inside his stomach. The other person's screamed in pain as Huang Dewei took his sword out and the other person moved away. He fell down on the ground as Huang Dewei looked towards him and others without wasting time he quickly runoff.

He came back out on the busy street market. He picked up the random clothes from the street shop, paid for them and run to change them. He run into another small street and only took off his robe. He looked at the wound on his arm and it looked like a mess. It was painful. He ripped a piece of cloth from his old robe and tied it around his wound to stop the bleeding than put on the new robe he just bought. He looked around them carefully took off his mask and put it inside his robe. He picked up his old robe, throw it in the bin and then walked out back on the busy market street.

He careful walked as he was looking around but saw no one else following him nor saw the same guy somewhere around him. He decided to make his way back home. He passed through a small jewellery store and stopped. He looked at beautiful pieces of jewellery and fell his gaze on an alluring green colour hairpin. He thought of Xin Ying and then remembered he should get something for her since he will be meeting her soon. He picked up the hairpin and stared at it then bought it. He paid the money and was about to turn over when his gaze fell on the red colour brooches-type hairpin for the male and he stopped. He picked it up and only one person came into his mind. He would look so magnificent with this hairpin and then he quickly put it away. He had no need to buy something like this for Wang Lei. That would look so weird. Huang Dewei thought then he walked off. He only took a few steps and then stopped as annoyed and angrily he sighed. Then he turned over and came back. He bought the hairpin and walked off. He felt so stupid. Why did he buy a hairpin for him like the Emperor of Wang Dynasty would wear some kind of cheap hairpin given to him by his salve.

He could feel the pain increasing in his arms as he felt his health getting worse. He put both hairpins inside his pocket and started walking. It took him some time as he reached back to the palace and walked towards Wang Lei's office chamber where he must be waiting for him. He reached outside his door, knocked and then entered inside.
