"The queen safely delivered the princess during her sleep, my king. She tried to abandon Princess Fuyu but her mother's instincts prevented it from happening." The king's right-hand man reported. He nodded, already satisfied with the name that the queen gave to the princess. 

"I see. You know how time works in the human world. We will visit them everyday. I want to see my daughter grow up." He can sense that something will happen soon, so he will do what he can do right now. 

"Should we visit them already?" Sho suggested and he nodded once again. He can tell that he is also excited to see the newborn princess. 

For the time they spent to see the queen and the princess in the human world, the king's love for his only queen deepened. It was also the same with his right-hand man. They saw them smiling and laughing and most of the time, they were wishing to join them in their little world of happiness. Despite the fact that the two women will be forced to stay with them forever, the two men wished that they know how much they love them. 

The king thought it would never come but it did. His older twin's plans are slowly starting. Reiki reminded him what he asked in exchange of having Gia as the queen. He took a deep breath before taking the king's crown from his head. He took a silver dagger and pressed the sharp edge against his fingertip. They will have blood compact for their agreement. 

"You know that everyone knows that I'm the king. You are not required to act like me but at certain times, I want to exchange positions with you. Especially when I need to make love with the queen. Never touch her. She is only mine." Riku said. Reiki grinned widely and nodded. 

"I have no interest on having sex with your queen. Women are just a nuisance." The older twin said and Riku felt relieved that he has no plans on touching Gia. 

Sho watched the twins and after the agreement, he left with Riku. He will only serve the real king. Everything that they talked about was bound to be secret forever. Riku stopped from his tracks and faced Sho. He bowed his head and looked down. For the sake of love, the king left his throne. The queen must be the luckiest. She has someone who is willing to give up everything just for her. 

"Go back there. You will be my eyes and ears. Tell me what will happen. You need to stay by his side but he should not know what our plans are." Riku said in a low voice and Sho nodded. 

"My king, everything that we planned, it is safe. I will never betray you." He said and Riku patted his shoulder before continuing on walking. 

He turned around and they parted ways. When he arrived back at the kingdom's hall, he saw Reiki sitting on the throne while wearing the king's crown. He can sense how powerful he can be in the future and they should take precautionary measures. He should also take care of himself. He will not let him touch the princess. Fuyu belongs to him, only to him. 

"I'm here to serve you, my king." He knelt in front of Reiki with his head down. The older twin raised a brow. 

"You left the real king just to serve me? What do you want? Power? Authority? Tell me." Reiki materialized a one-handed sword and pointed the edge on Sho's neck. 

"I don't want anything but to serve you, my king." His voice was firm. A smile slowly crept on Reiki's lips and the sword on his hand disappeared. 

"A few more days and the queen will start staying here. I heard that the princess will turn eighteen soon. You're her fated one, right?" He asked. 

"Yes, my king. She will be the one who will carry the heir." Sho answered and Reiki stopped for a while. 

An heir is not really necessary yet but since he can't stop the fate, he let it slide. He is still doubting Sho about his sudden decision of serving him. He knows how loyal he is to Riku. He narrowed his eyes when an idea suddenly popped in his head. He might want to test how much Sho loves the princess. 

"You love the princess?" He asked once more and Sho slowly nodded. He started laughing while shaking his head. 

"That's ridiculous. You're just like my twin. Both of you are helplessly in love. What's so good in love?" With Reiki's remarks, Sho wanted to answer him with what he really thought. 

After that, he felt relieved that the real king got his first chance to exchange positions with his twin. The queen and the princess were finally living in the underworld. Though they can feel how much anger and hatred they have for them, they endured not to tell anything. He didn't mean to be too rough and hard to his beloved. He is the Prince of Lust and Greed after all. He can't control himself whenever she is around. 

His gaze softened while watching her sleeping face. He saw how exhausted she was. He held her tighter in his arms while walking to their chamber. Finally, he can keep her by his side even though it is against her will. He carefully placed her down the bed and covered her with the silk blankets. He was about to caress her cheek but he saw her crying in her sleep. 

"I'm really sorry. I love you.. even though you don't love me back." He mumbled those words many times. He held her hand gently instead. Is he worthy enough to wipe her tears, knowing that he is the reason why she is hurt?
