Chapter 7 - The Fight Between The Two Kingdoms [ Part 2 ]

Third Person's POV

The real Crowned Prince has been assassinated by an unknown assassin. No one knows that, that assassin is the.. 3rd Prince, Prince Heimon.

Prince Heimon was actually secretly joined in an assassination group, and that group was the most wanted group in the whole Xeorrado Empire.

They say that group of assassins was so strong and powerful. No one can beats them and they're hard to find because of their many random secret hide out.

But, Prince Heimon found their secret hide out where they're currently hiding. Prince Heimon ambush their hide out with his 2 trustful assistant. The 3 of them ambush the secret hide out of the assassins and they defeat all of them..

They actually not kill those comrades of the assassins leader. The assassin members are really many. Those assassins are protecting a room, and maybe that room is where their leader is resting.

When they open the room, they saw a two man. The one man is sitting on the chair while drinking it's tea, the second man is standing beside the first man.

"Looks like we've find the assassins leader now, Your Majesty." Xenorio said and put the iron in his shoulder which he was holding then smiled dangerously at the two man Infront of them.

Xenorio Cestorano Nirenzo, he was the childhood bestfriend of the 3rd Prince Heimon and also the first assistant of his Royal Highness. He was also the Marquise Nirenzo's 4th son.

He has a black hair, as dark as the beautiful night sky, he has a beautiful deep blue eyes, as deep as the beautiful deep blue sea, he has a slicked pointed nose, he has a beautiful soft ivory skin.

Prince Heimon smiled dangerously and laughed with an annoying tone while his second assistant, Ciero smirked with annoyance.

Ciero Lagunayan Sempierzo, he was the second assistant of the 3rd Prince Heimon and also the 3rd Prince cousin from his Mother's side.

Ciero Lagunayan Sempierzo. He has a blonde short hair layered, has a sharp deep, rich dark purple eyes, has a slicked pointed nose, has a soft warm ivory skin. The second man drew a sword and pointed it infront of the three.

"Oh my, do you want a death match?" Xenorio asked and smiled dangerously at the second man who is infront of them.

"Lowered your sword Alseo!" The assassins leader said to the second man named Alseo. Alseo smirked and lowered his sword.

Alseo, assistant of the Leader of the most wanted group of assassins in the whole Empire, the "Bloodlust of the Crimson Moon". He has a platinum blonde hair, has a purple sharp eyes, a slicked pointed nose and has a pale ivory skin.

"Lowered your sword too Xenorio!" Prince Heimon said and then Xenorio lowered his sword.

"Be thankful, If only Prince Heimon hadn't really ordered me you would probably be dead now." Xenorio said with an annoying tone and then Ciero smirked because of annoyance.

"Stop bragging Xenorio! Can you please shut your fvcking mouth?! You're really annoying if you just know!" Ciero complained and smirked.

"Then, why don't you just leave and then go back home? You crybaby!" Xenorio teases Ciero while Prince Heimon is not paying attention to his two assistants that's fighting.

"I'm not a crybaby at all you freaking childish Nirenzo!!" Ciero teases Xenorio back and then Xenorio teases Ciero back again and again.

"How lame.." Alseo whispered. Xenorio and Ciero heard what Alseo whispered and then Alseo join their fight.

( A/N : I'm actually laughing silently here when I'm writing this scene if y'all just know.. I can imagine those three fighting inside my head HAHA!!)

"By the way, Prince Heimon why are you here? Are you here to kill us or to take us to the dungeon?" The assassins leader asked to Prince Heimon.

"No.." A short answer of the young Prince, "Then, why are you here? And as I know, you three killed all of my comrades?" He calmly said and smiled.

"As I can see, his smile is really fake. He might be really strong and powerful. His mana.. I can't even sense it!" Prince Heimon thought.

"I'm here to join in your group!" Prince Heimon bravely said in a serious tone. The three stopped fighting when they heard what Prince Heimon answered to the Assassins Leader's question.

"Oh?" The assassins leader suprisely said and laughed lightly.

"What?!" Suddenly the three said at once.

"...And also, we didn't kill your comrades. We just make them fall asleep." Prince Heimon said with a serious face and clenched his hand.

"What do you think, Lady Alseo?" The Assassins Leader asked to Alseo. The two assistants of the Prince wondered why the leader is asking Alseo and they also wondered why the Leader put a "Lady" when he called Alseo.

"You little Prince is qualified!" Alseo said and pointed his index finger to the Prince. The Prince reaction didn't change, it's still serious as ever. No reaction, just calm and serious.

Alseo's true identity is actually unknown. Only his comrade and assistant knows his true identity. Alseo is actually a woman. A woman with a man's name, a woman in a man's disguise. Quite bizzare in the sight of the two assistants of the Prince.

"Hey! Xenorio, Ciero.. Are you joining us?" The Prince asked with a serious face to his two assistants.

"Whenever you go Your Highness.. I'll follow you and protect you with my life." Ciero answered in a serious face and bow down to the Prince his serving.

"You little lame frog!..You passed!" Alseo said and pointed his index finger to Ciero.

"L-little l-lame f-ffrog!?" Ciero's said in annoyed tone while clenching his hands in the floor.

"Yes, LITTLE.LAME.FROG!" Alseo said with an annoying tone to Ciero and then smiled at him brightly.

"T-then.. Thank you! You war freak gorilla!" Ciero thanked to Alseo and smiled fake.

Xenorio holding his laugh because he will be in trouble if they both hear his laugh.

"Ughh!! You little lame frog!!!" Alseo shout and the both of them fight again.

"Then, it's your turn now Xenorio..What is your decision?" Prince Heimon asked to Xenorio with a cold gaze and serious face.

Xenorio gulp and don't know what decision should he make. His mind is messy and can't make a decision because, if he join the "Bloodlust of the Crimson Moon" and if his family find it out or if any noble family find it out.. His reputation as the next head will be ruined.

Not just his reputation, his name and family name will be ruined because in Noble society. Whenever they see you doing a scandalous thing or anything that can caught by their eyes, a humor will begin.

"I..I Xenorio Cestorano Nirenzo, will join in the "Bloodlust of the Crimson Moon" and will follow His Highness and will protect until my last breath.." Xenorio said in an anxious tone and bow down infront of the Prince his serving. The expression of the face of Xenorio is serious. Even his tone is an anxious tone, the expression of his face is more serious.

But, inside of Xenorio. He didn't actually wanted to follow the Prince in joining the assassins group. He overthinking in what will happened to him if there's a noble see him. Xenorio didn't feel this kind of feeling before. An anxious feeling. This IS the very first time of him feeling this kind of feeling.

A year has been pass-

Xenorio is ventilating outside that is quite far from the hide out and Alseo saw him with a serious expression but, when she see his eyes, It is shrouded in anxiousness. Alseo approach Xenorio and sided with him.

"You look anxious.." Alseo said while looking at the sunset, "It's almost night" she thought and look back at Xenorio.

"What are you doing here?" Xenorio asked in a cold tone while staring at the sunset.

"Huh!? Why are you asking me?! Am I not allowed here?! And by the way.. This is where I always hangout!" She annoyed said to Xenorio and Xenorio looked at her.

"And also, this place is already occupied by me and you know that!" she added, Xenorio holding his laugh but he failed. He laugh out loud and Alseo was surprised.

It was her first time seeing Xenorio laugh, because Xenorio has been anxious and not smiling since that day... Alseo just smiled at him and look at the moon. "Oh! It's night already.." she whispered and smiled then look at Xenorio once again.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?" Xenorio said and smiled while looking at the moon. She close her eyes, smiled and look up at the moon again that shines so bright then nod as the answer..

"Wait, about what he said earlier.. It's sounds quite familiar..." she thought, "Ahh nevermind.." and shake her head while her eyes is closed then sighed and smiled while looking at the moon. Xenorio look at Alseo that shaking her head and Xenorio asked, "Whats up with a deep sigh?".

"Ahh no no..It's nothing" she answered and forced smiled then she looked up in the sky that filled with sparkling stars in the night and lay down her back while smiling.

Silence.

A few minutes has been pass already, it's close to an hour. No one even spoke one of the two.. The surroundings are quiet..No one of them spoke. All you can hear are the moving leaves on the tree because of the wind breeze.

Alseo gets up and Alseo speaks..The silence between the two of them break when Alseo started to speak.

"This is the first time we didn't argue while talking isn't it? How bizarre!" She said then chuckled, Xenorio looked at Alseo while smiling like he was relieved that she was smiling.

The wind breeze blows hard.. Alseo's hat flies away and dance with the wind.

"Ah!" She said while her hands is trying to reached her hat that's dancing with the wind now.

"Hey, you'll fall if you-" Before Xenorio could continue what he was saying to Alseo, they both fell.. The two of them fall unconscious when the both of them has fallen to the ground.

- 2 hours pass -

Xenorio was the first one had consciousness while Alseo is still lying on the ground unconscious.

Xenorio was shocked to what he's seeing right now. A beautiful woman that have a beautiful wavy platinum blonde hair, has a pale ivory skin and a slicked pointed nose. At first he didn't knew who the woman is but in just a few seconds, he knew that as he can remember..

Alseo was the one who was he with, but he sees a beautiful woman that's looks like just the same age with him, beside him and the woman is lying unconscious in the ground like him earlier. He thinks and thinks and think until he got the answer of "Who's this mysterious woman beside me?".

"A-alseo!?" He whispered and the woman gained consciousness then answered, "Yes?" As she wiped her eyes.

"A-alseo!?" He repeated with a loud voice and a surprised tone.

"What!?" Alseo asked and then wondered why her voice was feminine.

"What happened to my voice?! Why is my hair so long and why did I turn into my original appearance!? Oh wait! The time!" She thought and then, she took her pocket watch out of her pocket.

"What the hell!?" She shouted in shock. "Why now!? why whyyyy!?" She mumbled uneasily in her seat. Alseo's real gender wasn't revealed to all of the member of the "Bloodthirst Of The Crimson Moon" except to her assistant, Verilxon.

[ A/N : Verilxon, the one who pretend to be the assassins leader in their first encounter to them.. I know that this is kinda late sorry! ]

Alseo was such a beautiful person, as if she was a Goddess. She has a beautiful long wavy platinum blonde hair, a slicked pointed nose, a pale ivory skin and a perfect body shape of a woman.

"Hey, Alseo.. Just stay calm! What are you mumbling and why are you uneasily in your seat!?" Xenorio worried asked to Alseo.

"Nothing- Ahh! Wait! H-how d-did you know that I'm A-alseo!?" Alseo stammered, while pointing her index finger to Xenorio. With her expression on her face she was surprised and at the same time embarrassed.

"Well, Just a guess.." Xenorio answered and then stand up.

"Let's go now, the others might be worried to you." He said and then give his hand to Alseo. Alseo hold his hand and Xenorio pulled her up. While they're walking way back to their base. Both of them surrounded by silence and awkwardness. No one talks about what happened earlier, Xenorio is silent, Alseo was still embarrassed.

10 minutes pass-

Alseo and Xenorio get back safely to their base. The guards of the base are all asleep, as if they're not guarding. They're just sleeping peacefully in the middle of the night. Alseo just sighed and shook. Xenorio didn't pay attention to those guards. He just walks towards the front gate while looking straight ahead.
