"MY LORD WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!....." this is the first word that wake charles up early in the morning, his kingdom is under attack and charles can't deny that their situation is not that good their side is falling down fast and the only thing that they can do is to escape, charles open a small door that can only enter by crawling together with yin and yang it was at the back of them geonin is following to guard them. charles is not afraid but only worried about his people,that they are getting killed while his making his escape the king supposed to figth with his people for the kingdom but all his slave and personel insist to make sure he will escape safe and unscratched, as their lost is for sure because the kingdom who attack them was far powerful than them, the only good thing is her mother camilla is in another castle so she can be safe as aaron is there to protect her,but charles was worried about geonin as far as he know geonin have a lover who will suffer in pain rigth now,but he choose to protect him and his child even though yin and yang is a skilled assassin he can't let this two kids go into a loosing game, they continue to crawl and crawl for a minute until they reached a door with the same size of the hidden pathway, charles who's infront open the door, one by one they go out at the underground passage it was huge but stinky well it's because the canals water is flowing down here but even it's that filthy it is the only way to secure their safety.
" how much longer do we have to walk? yin and yang needs a break"charles said carrying yin and holding yang at his wrist.
" I'm sorry my lord but we can't stop right now it's dangerous if they found out about the passage and follow us here" geonin said.
"where is gildeon?he's supposed to be with us" charles ask.
" my lord as for now I don't have any idea as where he is rigth now"
"I see, IGRACIEL!!" charles shout igraciels name as he know where ever he is he can find a way to attend to charles needs, after a minute of walking igraciel finally show up out of nowhere,he kneel to the ground infront of charles.
" my lord"
"how could this happened how can they managed to defeat us"charles ask while still walking, igraciel who just stood up walk at charles back.
"my lord I'm really sorry but all of my assassin has been killed before I was investigating and only found out that this war start with shadow assassin's and after killing all the strongest man of our kingdom they finally declare a war" igraciel said, charles just stop walking for a bit and continue again.
"how about survival rate of the other slave??"charles ask.
"it's impossible to survive if the enemy wants to kill them as all of them has been captured"igraciel said but he soon stop talking when he noticed that charles is still weak and crying over this matter.
" why did it has to happen right now when I was weak,why did it has to happen when yoma us not by my side?"charles tears is visible to anyone but the try to ignore charles and act like normal they know how painful it was as he's husband pick that fucking chin-ze over him charles is the most beautiful people here in this kingdom and yet he choose a new mistake of his.
"we're here" geonin said as they arrive to the peaceful castle where her mother freya is staying, geonin push a woods that nailed in the well they walk and went up to climb and get out of the secret passage this passage was made only after charles possess the kingdom of enderlaid,who think that he will need to use it this early and in this situation.
their travel actually took almost one day as it is far, Charles feel that he's whole body lose its strength and only wanted to take a rest, at this time there's no reason to fight for enderlaid as it wasn't really that important for him, seeing how charles looks depressed yin and yang hug him to ease the pain they still want their papa yoma but as for now they can't leave their daddy like this he is the only parent that yin and yang have so what ever happened they have to protect him even if they cause it their own life,lady freya order the other maid to make a dinner, before approaching charles and the other as soon as she can reach her son he embrace him and rub charles back, charles only show a fake smile that anyone can notice how he feels right now he was indeed smiling but for some reason this smile is full of sadness and broken heart emotion, charles head to his bed and fall his body, the soft material that has been use to make this bed make charles bounce two times,but charles doesn't seems to care at all,he remembers when yoma use to wake him up early in the morning,but now he has to be alone only lady freya, yin and yang can be with him, charles fell asleep thinking of yoma his tears ar all visible and everyone can see his pain seeing him in his current state, While lady freya decided to let yin and yang sleep with him.
***********
knock knock knock.
a gentle but loud knock from the front door wakes charles up he was lying on the bed weakly as he don't have any strength for any activity for his whole day, aaron open the door to saw his young master again using this room that has been empty since they move in the kingdom.
" young master it's almost nine AM and lady freya is waiting downstairs with gildeon and some other servant from your kingdom" hearing this words charles hurried to come down at the main hall just to saw that some of servant he know is alive, charles almost fell running all the way at the main hall but don't mind it he just arrived the scene lady freya, yin and yang sitting in their designated sits and igraciel and the others kneeling before them charles walk slowly as he was all familiar to all the faces here except for the other who seems not close to him specially the knights kneeling besides igraciel.
" greetings my lord this is the survivors who escaped from the war" said igraciel.
"I'm glad that you guys escape safe"
" this one is if I'm not mistaken is the maid who captured gildeon's heart, that one in geonin, lover and igraciel do you mind introducing me the others?" gesturing for igraciel to continue.
"they are some of the knights and maid who stay loyal and swear to give their loyalty to you your highness"
"and that guy kneeling besides you?"charles is rather more interesting at that man who is getting his wrists hold by igraciel.
"my apologies for this but this servant is my partner"
" you do like guys too? oh I see well,since when did you have him without telling me any details?" this question makes igraciel move a bit this reaction is not what he think that charles will said so he was rather shock by this sudden change.
"I'm really sorry my lord"
" it's fine I can't do more about that stuff"
charles massage his head as he was mad and irritated for no reason, charles raise his head to look at the so called survivor,he was planning on taking care of them too since he can't abandoned them they still his people before.
"aaron let them stay and treat their wounds as for their job they will work here" aaron just nods before assisting them,yin and yang stand infront of him holding two weapons it was a scythe and a spear but both like a toy as it is in a smaller size for them to handle it better, after the sudden attack charles think that this two have to be careful more as he wants them to stay with him.
"daddy can we switch weapons?? we like weapons but for kids it has to be discreet"yang said he and ying love the weapon as they wouldn't sleep without it by their side, but charles think that he has a point.
" okay then how about metal umbrella for yin and for yang ....uhm"charles can't think about what to give to yang.
"belt whip??oh belt sword a sword that can easily hide as a belt??"hearing this yang widen his eyes as he really love the ideas of their new weapons.
"but since the weapon wasn't built yet just stay with those"said charles pointing at their weapons.
"the king of fiorei has arrived" shout by the guards outside, charles turn into cold man with a killing aura and his eyes turns to red for the first time yin and yang notice this and they know what is happening, the king of fiorei vow a little then stand up,he saw the charles that worth it to called demon,he tremble in fear but stay still his hand is shaking but he's not here for fighting.
"king charles I'm not here to fight you I just happened to saw yoma outside my kingdom"he said while still shaking.
"and?it's not my business anymore"
" he has been getting wip by someone he's bleeding all over his body when I saw him"
"what? well he choose that life over me I can't interfere"charles said it clearly but he was definitely affected by this man said he raised his hand and ask the servant.
"but since your intention is something to benefit me I'll invite you to have a dinner and warm place to sleep"charles said.
it was that night and you can hear loud sounds of instrument people talking and the happy atmosphere charles decided to pull out a party to welcome this so called king from the other kingdom they even discuss some business matter about the two kingdom,but at this time charles already dispatch some assassin to investigate and follow yoma even though he's a little mad at this pathetic decision of yoma he still care about him even the pain from yoma is still itching in his heart making him sometimes can't breathe normally.
then someone performance start to entertain both of the king one of the performers is yin and yang who will dance with umbrella in ying's hand.
