"The west assasins are forming an alliance with the east and they get stronger day by day, what do you think about it?" the king stated
"It will be easy to infiltrate the east since I already planted a commander in there" Kaname stated
"The west is form with the strongest assassins there is, without the help of the east then the Aikawa clan may be put in a tough position" the king stated
"You can't underestimate the opponent, you never know if that commander will betray you" he added
"I can turn the tables around with just the snap of my finger" Kaname calmly stated
"How will you do that?" the king asked
"It seems like his highness is urgently in need of my help, I had already been disregarded away so I'm sure I have no use as you rule" Kaname stated
Kaname scoffed as he said "Why don't you seek help to the third prince, after all you raised him attentively"
"It is the tradition of the Aikawa clan to kept the first born hidden until its reign, what I did was only for the best of everyone" the king stated
‘Never even once had you look my way, I understand that I was the son of the woman who use her power against you but even so, you should have been careful not to let me hear the conversation with your favorite son’ Kaname thought as he remembered the conversation Hikaru and the king had
“Father, I had a woman I love that I really wanted to have” Hikaru stated
“The daughter of the head of Fei clan, you had already told me about it ever since you were little, don't worry I'll make sure to let her marry you” the king responded with a smile
Hikaru shook his head as he said “I was already over with her father, there is this woman that I love more than her but she already belongs to your first son”
“What is this woman's name?” the king inquired
Hikaru gently smiled as he said “Yura Izumi, can father help me get her back?”
“That servant?, don't worry as long as you want it I can give her to you” the king replied
“But the crown prince is keeping her” Hikaru stated
“He already has the throne, it's a small price to pay to let you have her” the king responded
Hikaru happily smiled as he said “Really?, can father make her my wife?”
The king gently smiled as he said “Of course, I can make her yours anytime”
Kaname gazed back at the king after remembering the conversation he had heard
"All this time I was fine with you using me to pave the way for Hikaru, I was alright with the queen using me to get close to you" Kaname stated
"I was totally not bothered of being used and left out but laying a hand on my woman is unforgivable" he coldly stated
"What are you talking about?" the king feigned ignorance
"If you ever lay a hand on Yura Izumi, I will make sure to have you and your favorite son's head to the ground" Kaname stated
Just then, the door was suddenly swung open
"Who dares interrupts us?" the king stated
"I'm sorry Your Majesty" Mizuha uttered as she kneeled down and bowed his head
"What is it?" Kaname stated
Mizuha got up and walked towards Kaname while tears are falling from her eyes
