Not quite far, Lucian had already spot the roof tops of the villager's houses. It was not such a big village since the kingdom took most of the land. "We're finally here his highness, " One of the men said.
Lucian just pulled the leather ropes around Bukla's face, making it to stop. He just stared at the place then sighed softly.
[I just hope Pierre won't be a pain in the ass as always, because I swear I will make sure he will never speak again]Lucian thought to himself.
"Alright let's start what brought us here! " He state then raced off still on the horse while the others followed after his command.

"Finally we're here! " Pierre said after getting off his horse. "I can already smell the money... They better be ready, " He state exaggerating.
Lucian just glared at him, and trying to deny his eyes from rolling. "Come on lil brother, it's going to be fun and father will be amazed if we just co-operate, " He convinced smiling at him.
"Let's just get over with this, I don't wanna be here either, " Lucian said then took his bag and started walking away.

I just wanted this mission to end already, I just can't stand him. As I was still walking, something was thrown to my direction, without looking I just caught it, since I sensed it too early. I then turned and saw three little boys staring at me. Two of them were scared,while the other one looked at me boldly, but I could hear his heart pounding so hard. Still carring the little red ball, I walked towards them.
"Let's go! The stranger is coming! " One of them screamed, and the scared ones ran leaving the bold one to gaze at me.
I squat to be in the same position as him.
I stared into those brown eyes, like those of of my wife, then smiled.
"Um...we are v...very sorry h...his highness, " He stammered.
"We?? The others didn't look sorry, they ran off, " I said.
"They are never like that, i...i don't know why they did that... I am so... Sorry his highness," He state.
"It's okay... Here, " I said then opened my palm revealing the little ball.
He then took it and held it tightly like his life depends on it.
"Th...thank you, " He said.
I stood to leave, then he asked a question. "Um his highness, who are you really? " He asked without stammering.
I looked at him, then raised a brow. "Why ask? " I asked.
"Um, your eyes are different, and the aura coming out of you, I've never felt that, " He state.
I then asked him a question. "And have your parents ever explained why you have white hair at this age? "
"They tell me it's a genetic thing that I inherited from my great grandpa, " He answered.
"Oh, also mine might be a genetic thing, because my decendant Damon, left it to me," I state.
"So you are....
" The devil's son, "I said then my eyes glowed in crimson red.
" Wow, that's cool, "he commented.
I just smiled, then walked away.

If we are working together, we have to stay together, not wandering everywhere, lil bro, " Pierre said when I joined him for the second house.
"My bad, " Is all I could utter.
We heard foot steps coming towards the door. "It's your turn now, " He told me.
Later we collected a lot amount of money, but Pierre was being harsh on the poor families, I just had to convince him to take the little then give them time to get the rest.
Finally, the last homestead. Through the outer appearance, the owner must be rich. When the door was opened, we were ushered in very nicely, but I didn't like it, although Pierre seemed to really enjoyed it.
I just sat at one of the fake gold chair, I could tell because I'm used to the original ones.
Then my thoughts drifted to my Hazel[I wonder how she is]
When all was done, I was about to walk out, then the owner introduced me to his daughter.
"She's very lovely, and she cooks very well, she will really make a good wife, " He state.
I just stared at her. "I'm not being rude but I can't accept your offer, thank you, " I state then walked out, leaving Pierre inside.
I headed towards Bukla and patted his head as he ate the carrots my maids had packed for him. I really enjoyed whenever no one was disturbing us as we bond. Then someone came and stood beside me.
"If you are one of the daughters trying to convince me, not a chance, " I said without staring.
She then removed her mask. My eyes widened as I stared at her.
"Long time no see, Lucian, "
