It takes pain and a whole lot of tears when you love

Jayden sighed, he had been taking over Minho's job currently, because of the other's current condition. He was miserable, tears were always present in his eyes. He had been crying his heart out as he was still devastated. You can really see how much he questions himself about the reality than what was written in the book. He questions about his choices whether was it really a good idea that he even agreed to take this mission in the first place.

It was not his life, it was Rino's... and on that thought, he sometimes wish he could strangle Rino for being a coward, but he understood the difficulty for  prince of be in love with a chief. Being the future of the Kingdom, it was not easy.

Jayden rubbed his temples, not knowing how to help his cousin and take his position for the meanwhile.

Pair of footsteps came in as it confused Jayden of what was going on, until his father came in.

"The King is calling for you, on a very important matter." his dad told him as he nodded, stood up and followed him.

"What is it this time?" he asked his father.

"A threat was sent from the borders of our Kingdom and it seems like it was for both King Lee and King Choi. Someone is starting to declare a war." His father answered as they arrived on the great hall and Jayden was walking in with authority to the King.

"Your majesty, you had called for me?" Jayden bowed and faced his uncle.

"I am sure you have a clue of what this is...right?" The King showed Jayden a dead sheep, that made Jayden almost threw up because of the disguting scent.

"Someone is threatening our Kingdom, your majesty." Jayden shortly replied.

"I am honored that you are handling the Prince's position for the mean time, and because of that, I want you to also investigate more about this threat that people of the rebellion had sent us." he nodded quickly as the King commanded him.

"As you have wishes, Your Majesty." Jayden bowed again, following his command.

"How is the prince's condition right now?" his uncle asked in worry.

"Worse...he had been skipping meals lately and his eyes are always puffy. I really do not think the prince is in his best condition to even take a step right now as he was still on his stage of grieving heartbreak." Jayden answered, lucky enough that they were the only two inside.

"Her Majesty Queen Mina will accompany him for his comfort, as I, want you to search along with your father for the hunt of clues of what the enemies will bring us." The King commanded as Jayden nodded again and bowed.

"Right away, Your Majesty." Jayden left the hall and his father following behind him with their men.

"Search every corner of the Kingdom and find any traces of the enemy. Leave no man behind and be safe." Jayden ordered.

"Yes, General." All the men replied as Jayden went on his way.

Queen Mina could only at the poor fragile boy, his puffy red eyes that were swollen, his messy hair and his fingers running through them in frustration. Minho was a whole mess, his room was messy, he was in the stage of his first heartbreak, and it really affected him this much.
