Meeting Gray marquis

May, 2020.

I don't know the day but there one thing which is worrying me. Although last night I somehow fooled her but I cant get a reassurance. I dont wanted to leave any clues behind. Actually, its impossible to get tracked when I am taking so much precautions But this girl eyes are like a viper giving me chills. So I decided to silence her.

" Honey, wash your hands properly " I heard a sweet voice while I still was thinking.

" Sure " I laughed as I looked lovingly at her. Cant stop it or she can easily suspect. She is smart, Although not this but still besides Everyone is on high alert cause of Sam's arrival. Grey or probably even earl is out for blood for this guy.

I said as I put the bread in my mouth. I don't want to stay with her too much.

" No, just eat properly" she said stubbornly.

" No, baby I am really late " I said as i stoked gently then ran towards the door.

She came with me to the door. and I was still standing and murmuring even after I was gone. And I was on the roof listening everything.

" This bastard, he is really wasted, cant even give a proper information " She murmured as she got inside. The one thing I wanted to know was if she suspect me and now that I am sure she doesn't, I moved for the lords mansion.

I was in front of a three stories building which is clearly made of better materials than other houses and overly wide . This was the castle of Gray Marcus.

" Good morning Lord Clien " Said one of the guarded as I dashed inside. I waited and asked him.

" Is his majesty inside "

" today was a special person coming, so everybody is a little early " He said as he looked at me confusion.

" un " I didn't bother responding to him.

The waiting room of Marcus on second floor. when I opened the door, twelve people were inside the room.

" Good morning, Lord Clien " Most of them greeted me as soon as they saw me except for four. Clien Morgan was ranked 4th in terms of strength and 5th in terms of influence. I nodded as sat on my seat besides Marcus's cureent personal guard named Drake. For the last three years, he was his guard and even before that with a power base of 5th king relam. And all of top three are 2nd king relam. though he is strong but he is extremely old and some days back, he tried to save Marcus from an assassination attempt and ended up hurting himself and could barely live for five years. ( Its no wonder such guy dont have other peoples assassinating him ). That's why all this competition was going on too.

Suddenly, door opened and a person entered.

' Amazing, what a dense energy. Just the quality itself is almost half of mine " I thought as I looked at the newcomer. This guy is Gray Marcus. All of guards along with the old man said in a unison.

" Good morning your majesty " It sounded like a blast.

" All of you are here, a week later, only princess of Tunisia family is coming. The reason is well some kind of deal with the earl. Now, listen except for one of you, I want rest of you to guard her. it's extremely important " He told all of those enthusiastically.

' I wonder why he is so happy ' I looked at him bewilderment.

" Clien, you are gonna be leader of that team "

" My lord, isnt there a competition tomorrow and the winner will be your personal guard "

" huh, I think you misunderstood this is not a suggestion but an order " He said while frowning.

'Ok, this makes things complicated '

" My apologies for my rash behavior Lord " I said as I hurriedly bowed down on right knees.

" Its better if you remember your place " He moved outside without looking back. Even after he was gone, I was on knees for some time, this was how reverend Gray was in Clien eyes.

" Clien, saving his majesty doesnt just requires strength " drake who was besides me said suddenly.

" Please enlighten me Lord drake " I said as o asked the old man. Although I do understand this but I want to confirm.

" Forget it, just focus on tomorrows competition. if you win you might get something good " He sighs as he sat down.

" lord drake, please don't overestimate him " Said Plues who is considered as ranked 2nd in terms of strength with his powers comparable to 2nd grade king. After that all of them started their bickering. We were member of Grays personal squad so se were only required when he goes outside. I was still in thoughts when my transmission rang. This common tool was related to the Batch I have as the proof that I am member of Shadow cats.

" Blanck, it's been so many and the mission is still incomplete. dont tell me you plan to redeem it " On the other side was a lady.

" Please don't worry, there still five months till the deadline. we will finish it in three to four months " I was already outside of the room and was traveling in garden.

" Ok, Just so you know if want to redeem now you would have to pay five gold coins " She said as she cut off the transmission.

' cheh, the entire pay was only three gold coins " I snickered to myself.

' Besides, I am gonna reveal cards to them. these f***ers almost killed us." I was quite angry with their careless behavior.

Late at night

' yes, right I have to bought flowers for Anna too " I sighed helplessly as I got inside the store. Honestly it's not I mind wooing someone but wooing someone who is ready to fuck you up anytime is a pain.

Late at night

" Does something Intresting happend " Anna said as she was still in embrace. Honestly I was speechless, how could this guy not realise this. I could understand why this girl was just a wife of guard though. This girl is not idiot but not smart enough to deal with real experts either. But this guy was completely infatuated cause of which he never doubted her. I have also noticed despite being number fifth in strength, my knowledge of Grays plan was lacking. He never told me anything.

' Maybe he has his doubts or he didnt trusted I could keep them as secrets " I thought as decided to sleep without answering her. Its feels like puking when I look at her fake expression.

' Theres no need for tomorrows competition then and I have to change plans a little bit ' After seeing Grays strength, I was convinced he was stronger than 3 tier king.
