This is an old tale that said originated from 北部省份 Běibù shěngfèn literally means Northern Province in Chinese language. It says that the kingdom did existed but the exact location was buried from the mind of the people, As if hiding it.

A student of mine from the back raised his hand. "Sir, what proof says that the kingdom was real?"

"Well, some unknown, that can't be traced artifacts were surrendered to the Kingdom of Ning 2000 years ago. A lantern, a ring and a crown that was said owned by the QueenWitch herself."

"All later said were stolen. The palace was burned and only a painting of the unnamed princess wearing the ring was saved." and turned on the OHP to show the painting.

After that I focused the lens on the ring. It was white gold with 6 small diamonds and a big one on the center. I can't help but look at the ring, for some reason it always give the feeling of remorse, pain and wanting something I can't explain.

---rinnnggggggggg----

The sound of the bell woke me up from my lost thoughts. "Ok class, let's continue nextweek on Literary Pieces from --- "

--knock-knock--

I looked at the door and saw a tall Chinese looking guy. My bestfriend Kimmon.

Rather than be glad, I feel irritated cause I can hear my students giggling for him. Really do they find this annoying guy attractive? "We will continue our lesson next week, Good bye everyone."

Everyone went on their way out of the classroom, while I faced Kimmon who always causing me trouble. "What is it this time?"

"What? Can't I just visit you?" and cheekily laughing at me.

"Sir, can we talk to you" I heard someone called me from my back. As I looked back, I saw my students Copter and behind him is Tee. All the others are already out of the classroom.

"Well, well, who's this cutie?" My friend

"Sir, Can I file sexual harassment against him?"

"Sure you may, I'll be your witness." Giving him my biggest smile.

"Hey! Hey! Hands up! I'm not doing anything here!" hahaha Kimmon backing down. "Well seems like you don't want me here, ok fine! I'll go out now"

Kimmon shaking his head walk out of the room "I'll wait for you in your office."

"Let's go out on a date, ok babe?" he gave Copter a wink

Copter just roll his eyes. My friend doesn't normally do that, I wonder if he really got smitten by my student.

"I'm sorry about that" I apologized, he just smiled, "It's nothing sir."

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

"Sir, you know you have my trust right?" he started.

"Of course, what is it about?" That got me startled.

"Uhmm sir..." he started but a sudden knock from my back stopped him.

"Sorry to interrupt up but our guest is already here" it is Kimmon, actually he went here in the university as we need to meet someone important.

"But--"

"It's ok sir, I'll just talk it with you some other times." Copter smiled at me, while Tee is avoiding my eyes.

"Ok, I'll let you know if I'm available tomorrow." and I already left the class with Kimmon.

When we arrived at my office my secretary already let the guest in.

"I'm sorry sir, I just can't stop them"
My secretary looked at me with sorry, seems she was taken back with these people.

"It's ok, just bring some drinks inside."
Kimmon's face is blank, we both don't like dealing with this guy but we have no choice.

When I opened the door, there stand facing the window a tall guy wearing a gray polo and black pants. But there are four body guards with him all wearing black suits.

He faced us and smiled,  I really don't like this.

"Mr. Kreepolrerk, I guess" he offered his right hand for a shake.

"Mr. Itthipat." I received his hand.

"And Mr. Khemmonta" he smiled to Kim which just nod at him.

"Have a sit." So this is the guy who said he knows about the artifact we are searching.
