Fate once again

The kidnapped prince

- You want me to do what? - Masari was so shocked that he could not even talk.

- I thought about this plan for some time now. If we were to rescue the prince Itar from the brothel, he would be able to return to the throne. 

-Prince Itar?  I heard he disappeared many years ago without a trace. Everyone in the royal family was looking for him. - Kedra continued. - It was almost 10 years ago. Are you sure he is still alive?

- Is that why they are still searching for him?

Masari looked puzzled. Sar'gen again had this information, which was not easily obtainable. It was strange and uncomfortable. Masari was left out again, and it was very obvious that everyone else knew more than he did. They knew Sar'gen's secret, and Masari was not close enough to be part of it.  

- But 10 years? - Kedra had her doubts.

-He is 100% alive. The artifact of the Wheyla is a peculiar one. 

-How do you know this? - Masari asked this again. He thought for a moment that for the past few months after he joined Sar'gen,  he had asked the same question many, many times. 

- My dad came from Wheyla and was close to the royal family before they betrayed him. The Royal family of Wheyla was always obsessed with power, and they were afraid to lose this power through treason. Royal family searched for the way to keep their royal blood untouched instead of protecting their kingdom and people...- Sar'gen scoffed and continued -    They traded everything they had to obtain this specific artifact - Grozia. 

- Grozia? - Solala interrupted Sar'gen...- I read about it in the ancient book. It is like an alert device. It would alert people to the danger if they linked to it, but it would not provide direct protection.

- Yes. This is correct. The Wheyla Royal family linked it to their bloodline.   

- Omg...but why can't they find Prince Itar? I am sure that the prince's family is looking for him. 

- Prince Itar was not in danger, obviously. The people who kidnapped him knew that if there was danger to his life, the artifact would alert everyone and disclose its location. They took Prince Itar to a brothel and convinced him that it was for his protection from assassins.  After they killed his mum in front of him. He believed his savior. However, it was just a plan of his half-brother who wanted to remove him from the fight over the throne. 

Masari again tried to ask the question, but Sar'gen stopped him with his hand. In his eyes, Masari could see that Sar'gen was not going to share how he knew it.

- We need to get inside the brothel and find Prince Itar. For my plan, I would change myself into a youth, but I need a companion. We would be a couple of lovers who are looking for a fun night. Unfortunately, Vilal would not be a good option...- Sar'gen looked at his brother, who was awkwardly coughing in the corner as soon as he heard his name... - So it would leave only Masari... - Sar'gen looked back at the man and signed...-  Masari will come with me. My change of appearance is very short, so we need to make sure to find Prince Itar before I change back. I do not want to cause uproar. 

Of course, Sar'gen was hidden a lot. In his previous life, Prince Itar was not rescued in time. He was killed in a brothel by assassins hired by his half-brother, Loda,  as soon as he became the king of Wheyla and destroyed anyone who could prove Prince Itar's existence.  

Itar's half-brother was a bloody tyrant who killed a lot of people and fought Sar'gen fiercely. Loda joined forces with Queen Zahla. Corrupted by the dark power of the Queen, Loda descended into the darkest quickly. Wheyla, the home of his father's family drowned in blood by Loda and Zahla in a previous life. Zahla used Wheyla's people as sacrifices for dark, bloody rituals to obtain even more dark power. When Sar'gen entered the Wheyla after many years of fighting, almost no people were left there.
