"Baby I. Dancing in the dark. With you between my arms. Barefoot on the ground. Listening to our favor-"
" Please can you shut up already? You've been singing this song for an ENTIRE HOUR!!" Diana snapped toward the singing Howzer.
" But Dear!! This is a song for you!! " Howzer said.
King on the other hand just ignored both of them and looked at the window.
After they left from King's house, Howzer started singing the song "Perfect by Ed Sheeran" in their whole trip. Of course, someone will eventually snap if they keep hearing the same song and bad singing for an entire hour.
Howzer was sulking while driving towards their destination knowing he can't sing anymore. After a few more minutes of silence in the truck, they arrive at the place.
"We're here" Howzer said. Still sulking.
"Finally!! Sitting in your truck is freaking uncomfortable" Diana said as she open on the door and jumped down. King and Howzer did the same.
King then saw a really massive Japanese style house (Of course bcz they are in Japan) with multiple floors and high outer walls yet the house is visible from outside.
'Is this even a house?' King thought.
"Come King" Diana said to King as she smiled.
As they walk towards the gate, a guard then approached them.
"Good morning Ms. Diana and Howzer. Your brother is waiting for you" He said as he bowed towards them.
"Good Morning Gilthunder. Thanks always for your hard work" Diana said as she smiled.
'Gilthunder? Wait I know that name!! When did heard of that again?' King said to himself and started to think where did he know that name.
'Mehhh I can't remember it' He said and just shrugged it off.
"I don't deserve your kind words Ms. Dian-"
"Ohhh jeez!! come on Gilth!! its not like we don't know each other for a decade" Diana pouted.
"Bu-"
" No buts!! Just said thank you and accept a complement" Diana scolded.
Pause
" Yes Ms. Diana"
"Good" She smiled.
King just watched the interaction between them when Gilthunder just stared at him.
"Who is she Ms.Diana?" He asked.
"This guy?" She said and pointed King "This guy is the one who saved me last night" Diana said.
"I see." He said and walk toward King. "Thank you for saving our Princess." He said as he bowed.
'Are they always this polite? ' King thought
"No need to thank me. I just did what others would do" King said as he scratched back of his head.
"Still, Thanking you is all I can do" He said as she looked toward Diana. "Now I will not delay you anymore. Your Brother is in the strategy room. " Gilthunder said.
" Okay. Thanks again Gilth" Diana smiled toward him and leaned closer to his ear. "Please continue protecting my sister" Diana whispered and walked passed him.
"Y-Yes Ms.Diana" He said as he blushed and bowed. King followed Diana's back and Howzer.... Well he came back to his post since he and Gilth are the guards of the place.
"Now that you had your fun. Work twice as hard" Gilthhunder said to Howzer who is walking away.
"Yes yes Gilth-Sama" He said and walked somewhere. Gilth just look his back and then started walking from the opposite direction shortly.

"Are you sure this is a house?" King asked.
"Yes.. Why?" Diana asked.
" No nothing."
'This is just as big as a Palace' King thought completely surprised on how big the house was.
"You never went lost inside of this?" King asked Diana.
"No actually..... I mean I've been living here since I was a kid so I pretty much memorize the house" Diana said.
Nobody talks anymore after that which made it awkward for both of them. King then broke the awkwardness by talking..... obviously.
"So.... Where are your parents?" King asked.
Diana's flinched. " Ahmm... I-Its.... I-I don't really want to talk about it. I hope you understand" She said.
" No no it's fine. I won't force you if you don't want to talk about" King answered.
Awkwardness then came again.
'How far is this room?!?! This is awkward as heck' King thought. He then realize that Diana is not her usual stuff. She would always tease her back in the past but she kept silent during their walk. King thought it's probably something personal so he just shrugged it off. He then thinked of another question just to break the awkwardness.
"Ahmmm.... Can you tell me things about your brother?" King asked.
" My brother? What things do you want to know about him?" Diana asked.
" Well..... Anything you can tell" King said as he smiled.
" O-Okay" Diana said.
They then stated talking about her brother while walking in a very long hallway. Talking about Diana's brother lighten up her mood and now she's back at her usual self.
"And that time when we are kids. He always protect me from anything." Diana said as she smiled. She didn't even realize she's been talking for a while.
The conversation is good but there is one thing Kong noticed. She didn't even mention her parents even once. Only their time together as a kid.
'Probably some family problems? ' King thought and shrugged it off.
"How about you King?" Diana asked.
King is confused. "How about me?"
"Yeah! You got any siblings?" Diana asked clearly in a good mood.
" Ahmm.... Y-Yeah" King hesitantly said.
"Really?!? You got a sibling? Whats is the name of your sibling? How old is she? Or he?" Diana rapidly asked as she lean closer to King while King trying to lean farther from her.
"H-Her name is Elaine. She's 12" King obviously lied about the age part.
" Ohhhh Older brother ehh? " She said trying to tease him.
"Can you tell me stuff about her?" Diana asked.
King hesitated but he decided to tell her.
"Sure I guess so" He said.
"Yay!!!" Diana enthusiastically shouted.
They started talking about Elaine. King storied all of his past but he obviously modified it a bit..... Okay A Lot.
"So you left home and leave her to your cousins so that you can chase your friend who also left home because of his family problem?" Diana summarized the story.
"Yeah pretty much." King said he smiled brightly which then died shortly "I am such a horrible brother... I Am really really really horrible brother" King said as he look down.
"Yeah you are!! How dare you left her to your cousins at the age of 10!!" Diana yelled at him.
"Well I guess both of you are okay now right?" Diana asked. "Where is she now? He's not in your house yesterday"
King then became more sadder. "She...." He said having a second thought if he should tell her or not.
"She?" Diana asked.
He looked at the curious Diane.
"T-There was an accident that happened 4 years ago" King paused. "The house that my cousins are staying got... burned down by a fire accident" He said.
Diana gasped at what she have heard.
"You mean?" Diana said as she thought of the thing that probably happend.
"Yes.... She got caught in the fire accident and..." He paused.. " A-And died"
PAUSE
In verge of crying "She died while I was away.... She died because of me!!" Tears started to flow. "If I didn't leave her I could've save her! I coul-" He stopped shouting when he felt two hands wrapped around him. It was Diana.
"It's fine King... It's fine" Diana said.
'Must be tough having your sister and lover gone' Diana said as she tried imagining how would it feel like in that situation.
King just cried while Diana is hugging him. Seeing him cried like that make her think that he really love her sister.
"I think she'll forgive you for what you did... " Diana said as she tried to comfort him.
King didn't answered and wiped his tears instead. After wiping his tears:
"C-Can you let me go now Diana?" King asked seeing Diana had no intention letting her go.
Diana them let go of the hug and saw King smiled at him.
"Thank You Diana. I'm happy that I got someone to comfort me during times like this" King genuinely said remembering his days where he cry in bed all the time about his past yet he had no one to lean to.
"Your Welcome" Diana also gave a warm smile at him. "Let's go now" Diana said as she continued walking.
"Yeah" King said as he followed her.
[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]=[]
They continued walking for a while and now standing in front of a giant door.
"This is it!!" Diana said as she opened the door.
"Yeah I can see that". 'Who need such doors'
King thought as he saw the massive door.
"Come" Diana said with a 'come in gesture' interupting King on his thought. King nodded and followed her.
"You seriously had the nerve to keep me waiting here for too long" They heard a voice coming from the rotating chair.
"Sorry brother.. Howzer bought flowers on he's way making us late" Diana said.
"I see... Well I know the consequences if I let him get you so it's partially my fault" The guy said.
He then rotated the chair and there they saw young man wearing sleeveless black T shirt , pants and a black scarf "Welcome home. Diana" He greeted.
"I'm home Brother" Diana said to her with a smile.
He then looked at King."I Is this the guy who saved you last night?"
"Yes. He's the one I told you about" Diana answered.
" I see" He said and stared at King.
"What's your name?" He asked aftet shortly.
" K-King Cipher" King said almost stuttered. 'Why the hell am I so nervous?' He thought.
"King... Nice name...." He said as he smiled.
"My name is Angero General. Nice to meet you. King"
