"There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion."

Ricolo City
A young lad was walking around the market looking for something that could get his mind out of boredom. He was a bit in a daze that made him look like a handsome doll, his small pink pouty lips, straight high nose, a creased forehead containing set of arched brows with his pair of blue-green eyes that contained a wisp of wisdom.
"Isn't that the third young master from Shuho family?"
"He's so handsome at such a young age."
"No. He's beautiful. If I did not knew better, I would mistook him for a girl."
"I would be very happy in marrying my daughter to him."
Chun was very bored at their mansion so he went out for a trip outside, while grumbling underneath his breath, "I never thought that father would granted older brother's outdoor training even second brother could tag along. I'm the only one would be left out of it."
He located a nearby tea house because of his tired feet.
Fracshun Amoré
He heard of this strange tea house from his second brother. It was established under the insistent of the Second Princess to her father who was the King.
Chun sighed inwardly as he thought of the spoiled princess.
"Good Morning, young master," a waiter in his tail coat interrupted him from reverie.
"Let me lead you to your seat."
Without hesitation, Chun followed the charming waiter. Once he seated himself near the glass window frame, he ordered a chamomile tea.
In a dense state, he stared off outside while waiting for his tea. He didn't knew that every women in the place were looking at him with their predatory eyes while the men were being eaten by jealousy.
'Who could ignore this kind of beauty?' Thought by the young ladies present.
Xi Chen, the second young master of Xi Family and the First general in-charge of the north borders directed his soldiers towards the palace as they came back from their mission given by the King. He was one of the trusted generals of the King so this foretold mission was very relevant to their country and cannot be delayed to be reported.
"General, we need to eat. I'm hungry," Ryo Konishi, his second in command and also his most trusted friend said while having his playful smile.
Xi Chen stares at him with no expression and plainly states, "We eat after this."
The handsome young man sighed as the trick failed. He thought that he 'could' slacked for a bit but he knew well that this would be the outcome.
Chun was lost in trance while he held his cup of tea when suddenly he was snapped back from the noises of horse hooves that passed by the tea house.
He was by the window and timely saw the soldiers headed to the palace direction.
They look like the soldiers of the King. Chun sipped on his tea and ignored the scene.
They continued on their way to the palace while Ryo complained about eating and the general was so cold that he can't get married, and other nonsensical things.
"Look, General. There's the Fracshun Amoré tea house which has the best tea in the city. Let's try it!"
"Sir, it's not even a day that it was established and it just opened tod---"
The oblivious soldier suddenly felt cold shiver at his back that made him stopped on his words.
After he made the 'idiot' soldier shut up, Ryo went again on sweet talking their First general. Xi Chen with his indifferent face suddenly pulled the horse of the young man, it instantly halted and threw away the poor Ryo.
"General, what did I do?!" The poor young man was on his butt, his earlier dignified self was trampled by just a one move.
"Did you said that you want to eat? Then you can eat," Xi Chen coldly stated and usherred his men on their journey.
"Chen! Atleast leave my horse!" He shouted to the fleeting general with his soldiers.
"Sir, general relayed that 'you have feet so you can walk'."
The other soldiers snickered a bit as they passed by him. Telling him to have a 'safe walk'
'You ungrateful subordinates, I will punish you all.' Ryo thought as he dusted away the dirt and went to the said tea house.
Ryo grumpily walked in the tea house and seated himself by the window while still murmuring unpleasant profanities and planning how to make the training harder for his men. Even though Xi Chen was the general of their unit, he was the one who was tasked of the daily training of the soldiers by the general so the odds was on him.
Suddenly someone coughed, interrupted Ryo from his devious plans. He was left speechless when he looked infront, it was a beautiful being. What did he do to have this opportunity? Maybe being left by the general was a good thing.
Then he displayed his signature smile to the person infront of him.
"Are you okay? You look like an idiot."
Fran, a friend of Ryo and the manager of the tea house snorted at him.
While he smiled at Chun, "Young Master, we the Fracshun Amoré staff would like to present to you our black card as you are one of our first ten customers to avail our product," Fran bowed as he presented a black card with a golden phoenix insignia with some kind of red rose twirling on the foot of the phoenix.
"Oh, thank you," Chun simply stated as he stood up, receiving the black card while he handed his payment, after that he left, not minding the person infront of him.
"Young master? I thought I saw a beauty..." Ryo mumbled as Fran looked at the idiot talking to himself.
"Ehem. Young Master Konishi, what do you want to---?"
"Fran, who was that?"
He frowned at Ryo for cutting him off. What is this idiot thinking?
"Oh that young master? He is Chun Shuho, the third young master of the Shuho household. The doted son of the Ministry of Defense"
Suddenly, Ryo smiled wickedly.
Being a ladies' man was never been a title, it contained abilities too. And something perked his interest.
Bam!
"What do you want to order, young master?" There's a hint of irritation from Fran's voice while he stared at the perverted young man. He knew that something would be up.
And targetting that third young master would not be a great idea.
