Madam Mary's Chamber.

Madam Mary asks confused "I don't think there is no trace of any lady who met our Xavier".

The man still hesitates as if he feels conflicted for some reason.

Mary smiles assured and persuades him "George. You don't have to hesitate. I am just worried about Xavier. I sent you instead of others because I trust only you among the servants. You are the only boy from my country serving me for years here. You are like the other son to me and you too care for Xavier, don't you? I want to know who that lady is. I want to know if that lady is suitable to be Xavier's wife. If that's what our Xavier wants, shouldn't we help him? Would I able to live if he ends up suffering in this political marriage?"

George bows and speaks faintly "There is some information but I don't know how that will help, Your Highness".

Mary's eyes lit and she asks eagerly "What is it?"

George answers in low voice "Madam Maya might know who the woman is, Your Highness".

Mary asks with a surprised smile "Maya?"

George nods before adding "Yes, Your Highness. His Highness has met Her Highness earlier than I assumed and heard he even saved Madam Maya".

Mary is intrigued and worried at the same time "Saved? From what? Perhaps…Was there any other attacks on her other than that day?"

'Jesus Christ!'

George shakes his head lightly "No, Your Highness. I am still unaware of anything. I need to investigate further for more details. As far as I heard, it seems Prince Xavier and Madam Maya has met few times and already in friendly terms. Prince Xavier might have talked with Madam Maya about the lady you are searching for. I am not sure of anything yet as no one witnessed Prince Xavier with any other lady other than Madam Maya".

Mary smiles and nods "It's good then. I will ask Lady Maya about this and keep searching for the lady. We have to find her soon before His Majesty talks to Xavier about his marriage".

George states worriedly "Your Highness…If His Majesty gets to know about this…".

He is worried that The Emperor might get to about his investigation. Madam Mary too would get in his bad terms for going against His Majesty's wish. Who would dare to go against him if he wishes to bring Southern Realm's Princess as Prince Xavier's consort?

Mary smiles bitterly understanding George's worry. But she speaks solemnly "I know what a political marriage does to one's life. Would I allow that to my son? Never!"

George could only leave silently after hearing her determination filled words.

Somewhere in one of The Four Realms.

"Are you certain about this information?"

Two men were seated facing each other in an abandoned place. The surroundings around them clearly show they were hiding in this sort of place where people won't enter easily.

The broken chair on which they are sitting makes creaking sounds from time to time whenever they lean back or shift their positions.

A man speaks nonchalantly "I won't be suggesting if it's not".

He looked too chilled for a man who is plotting against someone way stronger than them. On contrast to him, the other man seemed to have a suitable expression on his face. Anxiety, confusion and prominently fear.

He stammers reluctantly "I-It's just…"

The other man smirks and scoffs "Let's just say you are scared".

The man gulps and exclaims "Of course I should be! That monster doesn't die! No matter how many times I attack him he gets back alive! Do you even believe he is still alive after stabbed by my poisonous dagger?! He was merely 15 years then!"

The other one speaks boringly "You just need to try hard".

The man complains "I put my life on the line several times but that bastard...walks around alive as if nothing happened!"

The other man speaks calmly "How wonderful it would be...if he disappears. You can rule your Realm again and I will have the Nothern Realm...As for the Western Realm... If Kalki disappears, I will destroy that Crown Prince too in no time".

The man mutters under his breath "You are underestimating Kalki-"

The other man states closing his eyes calmly "I will get him to you. All you have to do is just kill him from distance. There is no one in this world as skilled as you in Archery".

The man still states his hesitation "Everything will go in vain if the rumour is not true".

The other man smiles "I am ready to gamble with my everything. Do you think I would if I am not certain?"

The man nods finally and whispers "Fine. I will do it. This is my last method to kill him anyway. I have tried every poison on him. That monster should die this time! He has been too lucky to survive my ten years of attacks! I will kill him this time!".

The other man yawns "Now get out. You are disturbing my sleep".

The man could only leave silently.

'If only you didn't have that brain...you would have rotten in the ground under my feet'.

The other man opens his eyes and stares the man with murderous intent. His lips twitch into a smile which was too dangerous for a smile.

After a few days.

The Countryside Pavilion. 

Sarah burst into the chamber and shouts "You are accompanying them to the battle?!"

Maya jumps in fright while she is checking her outfit. It would be suitable to say that she has been in a daze last few days. As if she always wakes up from a trance.

Perhaps certain incident still lingers in her mind these days? Prince Xavier is indeed a playful man who played with her emotions.

Sarah walks towards her in hurry and gasps "Why would you-"

Maya asks her before she could finish her question "Why not?"

Sarah went speechless in disbelief but asks "How can you? Who allowed you?-"

Maya smirks smugly as she knows Sarah can't speak after this statement "Your Crown Prince did".

Sarah "...." Huh?!
