SETTA

Setta grinned as he lazily chewed on a peach watching Draco ruthlessly destroy the dummy before him, the other soldiers at the barracks watched their general warily. Draco had almost destroyed half of the training dummies making him unapproachable as the soldiers just watched in awe and horror. He had been training all day, his hair was now unbound spilling over his shoulders. The muscles on his back and arms were tense and the passing maids would constantly stop and stare. Of course he himself found the scarred general attractive and would sometimes flirt with him but he was just too uptight and serious often drowning himself in work, he would sometimes think that the general would grow old alone pity he had such good genes. Black hair and bright lilac eyes was a rare but attractive combination, not to mention his height and that body. He shook his head, he was unconsciously checking the general out. Draco might be attractive but he was kind of boring for him. He watched as the general clutched his head and ruthlessly pushed his sword into the sand, his dark aura was close to being visible, he chuckled a bit.

It had been a month since the assassin incident and seeing as the general was bound to the assassin they had no choice but to keep him. It was agreed that Mina would keep an eye on the assassin since she was the only one the assassin would speak to while he would keep an eye on Draco. He was surprised as the said General was now making his way over him, he cocked an eyebrow as if asking if something was wrong.

"Come on we're seeing him." Draco stoicly stated as he walked away not even waiting for him to follow. But Draco was always like this to him so he didn't mind as he followed.

"Oh? Lead the way then." he grinned as the general just glared at him. Since they were bound then it was natural that they would know where each other was. The entire walk was silent as Draco didn't even bother to fix his appearance, the maids and officials stared at him as they passed some oogling at his body some wondering why was the usually well dressed general was half naked. He frowned what was bothering Draco that he was behaving strangely?

"Hey don't get angry but what are you feeling right now?"

Draco sighed and put a hand on his chest gritting his teeth.

"Lately it feels light and it hurts a bit."
His eye widened, it was obvious that the general was either unfamiliar or hardly felt the emotion and must've been venting his frustration on the dummies earlier.

"Well that feeling is happiness, though I'm curious as to why would he be happy."

"Why the hell would he be happy?" the general grumbled as they ended up in front of the Silver Scorpio tower. Both of their brows were furrowed, the Silver Scorpio tower was hardly used since Je'hel accidentally put it on fire from a magical experiment it was fixed but people were too scared to use it since there might be traces of magic that might be dangerous.

"Are you sure he's here?"

"Well it lead me here."

He shrugged and was about to open the doors that's when a whiff of purple caught his eye. Raising his brow he walked to the side of the tower, seeing a pavilion and was surprised to see his sister, Je'hel and the assassin. He could hear Draco's footsteps behind him as he stifled a gasp.

The three seemed to have a good time, as Mina was braiding the assassin's hair and Je'hel was chatting with him occasionally smiling. He was wearing his usual attire, a white tunic with slits on the side and white pants that only reached knees it was a contrast to his tanned skin. Looking behind him he saw Draco with a dumbstruck look, his face a faint shade of scarlet. He furrowed his brows wondering if it was a side effect of the previous events or something else.

Naturally it was the assassin who detected them first, he sent them a smile and the assassin gave him a polite nod.

"Perfect timing you two! Come on join us" Je'hel beckoned them closer with a gloved hand, he strolled casually landing on his sister's side while the scarred general just stood next to Je'hel.
