"Okay master," the assassin said. "But will Emperor Dean agree to do what you told him to do?" he asked.
"Yes, with no doubt, he will do as I command." The cloak figure responded. "Go and meet the others and tell them what had happened. Tell them our enemy is so strong so they will have to continue their training, aggressively this time around."
"I will do that, master," the assassin said and bowed his head a little then turned to leave when the cloak figure stretched out one of his hands. His hand came out in front of the assassin, holding the bloody heart that belongs to the assassin.
"On second thought, why don't I go and convey the message to them. You failed me, you could have joined your fallen brothers and not hide in the shadows. I will not have a coward among my warriors," the cloak figure said and he withdrew his hand from the body, and watched as the assassin fell down to the ground, stone dead. With a satisfied sigh he stared at the heart in his hand beating slowly, he watched until it stopped, then he blew a breeze on it and the dead heart started beating once again. Slowly, it entered his hand. He sighed once again, this time very loudly and then disappeared and then the dead body of the assassin engulfed in fire.

Kudarma Kingdom:
Emperor Dean Palace:
Lord Kira woke up earlier than Emperor Dean. She quietly left the bed and went to have her bath, after that, she put on one of her clothes, a very black loose wool trouser with a shirt. She sat on the front huge mirror in the room that Dean made for her and dried her hair and afterwards combed it until all the tied places were smooth. When she stood up, her hair was almost reaching her feet. She quickly rolled it into a bun and placed her hat on it. Putting on her irked face, she left for Adaoh room.
Greeting the woman who was seated on her bed and reading. She went to sit close to Adaoh, her face relaxed.
"Good morning Adaoh, Dean told me to come here that you want to do something with me, so what can that be?"
Dropping her book on her bed, she stood up and looked at Kira.
"Nothing, he wanted me to remove something, a spell that was casted in your body,"
"That's all?" Kira asked.
"Yes Kira," Adaoh replied.
"I hope you won't make me look ugly in Dean's eyes. I want to look more beautiful to him, if you can Adaoh,"
"Oh my dear, what if it is forced love?" Adaoh asked.
"Forced love? On who?"
"On you, let's assume Dean used a spell to make you fall in love with him, what will be your reaction when you find out about it?" Adaoh asked.
"He can't do that,"
"I said 'assume' Kira."
"I don't like that kind of imagination. The love I have for him is heaven made and there is no one who can replace him in my heart. Come on, let's do what he said," Lord Kira said.
"Right.... close your eyes my dear." Adaoh ordered and Lord Kira did as ordered.

Ashland Kingdom:
The Palace:
Storm ignored the look he was receiving as he ate his food slowly as he watched how Warlord Marcus ordered the new guards to carry the dead bodies of the guards away from the Palace. Every servant in the palace was busy, cleaning the blood.
Gwen was seen examining what was left of the dead body which belongs to the assassin.
As soon as he had woken up, Storm went to the servants quarters and asked for the palace cook, seeing her, he told her to prepare something for him to eat quickly. He then went to inform the guards guarding some of the rooms where the Empress and her sons were in and they in turn informed Empress Rose who then sent for her brother.
While others were squeezing their faces, Storm was busy munching on his food.
Through with her investigation on the assassin dead body, Gwen, went to meet Storm where he was seated.
"What did you find on him?" Storm asked Gwen.
"He has a bird mark on his left shoulder, Storm," Gwen replies and then looks around them. "You do know they still think you are the one who had killed the guards and heap it on that assassin."
"Do not care Gwen, they can't fight me and besides, all evidence are pointing to that dead assassin. They haven't seen him around in Ashland before so...."
"But still yet, the doubt is in their eyes."
"Like I said before, I do not care," Storm said.
Morgan started heading towards their direction in anger.

Kudarma Kingdom:
Emperor Dean Palace:
Adaoh Room:
"You can now open your eyes now," Adaoh said and went back to previous position. "Tell Dean it is done."
Lord Kira opened her eyes and smiled. "I will tell him," she said to her getting up from the bed.
Adaoh could only nod, pick up her book and continue reading from where she stopped.
"Adaoh, I am going to ask Dean to bring you out of this room. I want the both of us to walk around together."
"I doubt he will allow that Kira," Adaoh said. "Anyway, you look better now."
"He never says no to me, you just wait and see."
Adaoh smiled and didn't say anything.
Lord Kira left her room.
Coming outside the building which was Adaoh prison. At the last minute, Lord Kira removed her hat, allowing her hair to fall loosely around her. Walking towards Dean's room, she could feel all gaze on her but didn't care. Every guard and servant all stopped to stare at her, they were all stunned by what they were seeing.
