Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

8. Let the Liar Believe he can Lie

"Why am I here..." Dan Heng's lips were twitching as he was sitting in the studio of the Prince, trying to read something about the ancient tomes, but the presence of Blade in the room wasn't making it easy.

He was literally reading the same sentence for a while. He just couldn't help but feeling the need to punch him from what he has done the day before.

"I aM tHe pRincE So I cAn cOmMIt sExUal HaRrAsSMentn" he whispered and imitated his voice as he was trying to read the book ot then grit his teeth "My ass. I will punch him so hard I swear" he kept whispering to then smile in an angelic way as he noticed Blade closing one of the report he was reading, meeting his blue eyes

"So? Got any memory back?" he asked and Dan Heng pushed a little the book away from him

"No"

"What do you want to know?" he asked at some point and Dan Heng tilted his head "Don't look at me like that, you must have questions about yourself"

"Yes" Dan Heng crossed his arms "How did the Imbibitor get between two lands? Sure, he's a figure, but do you really think the Holy Order will surrender to you or the Emperor just because you have him.. Me.. I mean me...? It sounds pretty naive" he said and Blade laughed a little

"The Holy Lands have been spoiled by you... It's quite funny you don't understand how many times the Holy Lands won battles just because they used you to heal entire armies. I am sure many soldiers won't even join the battle knowing their beloved healer isn't there" Blade laughed "Cowards."

Dan Heng tilted his head "I mean, I have no idea how to use those powers you speak about so I am nothing but a normal civil, couldn't I just be free from your disputes? I seriously can't see the reason of being here"

Blade did massage his own temples "You will be used for negotiations, but indeed, if the Holy Lands won't accept, then you will have no reason to be here" he stand up and sat close to him "This means that by that time I will have full power on your destiny, and that means I will grant you the pleasure of dying by my hand."

Dan Heng looked at the book, trying not to expose himself as he could feel a little, just a little of stress.

"It would be such a pity though" Blade added as he touched his long black hair and Dan Heng sighed hard to then turn and look at him with fierce eyes "What? Now you will tell me only Yinxing touched your hair like this?"

"Can you stop talking about him already?" he said "He's dead, it's rude to talk about dead people." he said to then cross his arms feeling just mad and frustrated

"If he's dead why did you call me like that when we first met?" he asked and Dan Heng grit his teeth

"I was still... under the poison, I did hallucinate probably" he lied and Blade laughed to then lay the chin on his own palm, staring amused at him

"Hm... So you were hallucinating even the first day in my manor?" he asked and Dan Heng looked away embarassed

"Okay fine... He used to look pretty similar to you, that's why I really thought he was somehow... back to me.." Dan Heng was again feeling sadness in his eyes

"When did you two meet? And why no register talks about him?" he asked annoyed and Dan Heng had no idea what to tell him "And why is he the only person you remember... You didn't even know who you were, but this Yinxing stayed." Blade smirked "Was your secret lover nobody had to know?"

Dan Heng blushed to then laugh a little "Sorry, he was my best friend! I might... I might have felt something for... No I am not going to talk about him. He's dead, that's it. Who he was doesn't matter to you" he cut the conversation and Blade at that point laid the free hand under his chin to make him look at him
