Unbridled

Chun opened the letter handed by her butler. The letter came from her father, Shenin. It told her not to go home this winter season because his uncle from Phoenix continent would be staying at the mansion. Even though it's illogical to see a King leaving their own kingdom but Zeno could do it because he's that 'incredible', dismissing his duties to the person who he trusted the most, his mother, Chun's grandmother.

The most avoided matter of Shenin occured and he didn't like this situation, when he couldn't control the outcome.

Shenin wished Chun to be healthy and always stay out of trouble, and that was the end of the letter.

The silver haired young man sighed inwardly and folded the letter.

"Did you prepare my dinner, Art?"

The butler thought that his young master would discussed about the trouble she caused but unexpectedly she just asked for her food, not finding anything unusual on her as she lazily smiled and with a carefree manner played with her silver white hair.

"Young lord, you need to be mature sometimes. You're turning 18 this upcoming month and you're not acting up on your own age," Art blurted his opinion that made Chun's carefree manner disappear.

The room lowered few degrees as she gazed at her butler with her apathetic eyes, "It's better for you to mind your own business, Art."

Suddenly she beamed and hurried the butler for her food, like what happened earlier did not occurred.

Art liked that real Chun, the young master who he knew well. They were connected through their soul so he knew what was Chun's feeling as well as Chun knowing his. It's a mutual link between them, a contract that they shall abide until their last breath.

The butler obliged and the young master once again enjoyed her food.

Sereign Continent

Lucraine Country, Ricolo City

At the palace of the King in the throne room, the first general reported his findings about the hidden sect which was the Skywave sect who had the object that the King wanted to retrieve, now it was stolen by an unknown thief, in an unknown location.

Unanticipatedly, the King wasn't angry about the failed mission. He just chuckled with a dark glint on his eyes, "General Xi Chen, I wanted to share an imperial secret."

After the discussion, Xi Chen was silent until Ryo caught up with him outside the palace gates.

"What did the King said? Does we get dicredited or get a punishment for not able to retrieve a precious item?" Ryo asked as he observed the quiet general.

Xi Chen with his usual indifferent face glanced at Ryo and ignored him.

"Really? Ignoring me again if you wanted to avoid answering my question!" Ryo exclaimed, not liking about his friend hiding secrets from him.

"It's an imperial secret," just that sentence made the nosy Ryo shut up.

King Sewan was left alone on his throne while covering his face with his hand as he laughed. His middle-age face morphed into a sadistic expression as it turned suddenly into a man with a handsome face, his blonde long hair cascaded on his back as he removed his crown and put it on the chair and he stood up.

His tantalizing blue eyes was like the ocean waves, it drew ones in. Aurumn, the deity of war and strategy smirked as he went to the balcony of his throne room and gazed down at the dazzling city lights of the night. It was beautiful to see yet danger lurks in.
