[attr="class","hanatextd"]When Hanami had first received information in regards to having to perform an undercover mission, she had not expected it to be during a party thrown by none other than Clover Kingdom's own royal family. The young woman immediately found herself going into a state of panic and worry as she held the piece of parchment with the details, a letter sent to her directly from her captain. There was no way she could turn down this assignment, despite every part of her wishing she could.
What she had planned to be a relaxing day of painting she instead found herself being dressed by another mage within the Silver Eagles. It seemed they were well aware of her lack of fashionable wears in the region. In fact she only owned a total of two dresses, both of which were from her own homeland, not of Clover's style in the slightest. If she was to blend in with a crowd at a party for the highest of nobles within the kingdom, she therefore required a dress that would suit, one that made her presentable, but nothing too eye catching. It was the first time since joining the squad that she found herself not donning her mantle, something she bore quite proudly during her patrols. Instead she stood perfectly still as a thread mage within Silver Eagles worked on creating the perfect ensemble around her form, complete down to the last detail. It was an elegant, lilac colour dress that clung tightly around her waist before flowing gently down all the way to her ankles.
Despite how beautiful she may have looked to others Hanami couldn't help but feel that this type of thing just didn't really suited her, and it only served to make her feel all the more nervous. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she stepped out into the squad base's main hall, where she would await to be greeted by her captain who no doubt was dressed up formally as well so as to blend in. After all, he was much more well known than someone of her standing, he couldn't afford to be spotted or their whole plan would completely go up in smoke.
As she stood waiting, the permeation mage went over all the details she had been giving in the briefing beforehand. First they were to find proof the aristocrat was an enemy to the crown, then upon doing so they were to apprehend him, and take him and anyone else that tried to stop them into custody. They were going to have to be incredibly careful.
Post by Yuurei Krane on Apr 27, 2020 20:20:25 GMT -5
Yuurei was in his office when he got the letter from the prince about the party that he was throwing. The information that he had gotten had brought him to sigh with disappointment as it was not something he truly wanted to do. He enjoyed helping those in need, but he felt that the prince of the kingdom would be able to find other people who were suited for the job. It wasn’t just that, but he wasn’t going to be able to wear what he usually wanted as he would have to revert in wearing his kimono. On the job, it seemed like the prince wanted him to bring a companion of the opposite sex with him. He decided to bring Hanami with him and send her a letter. He wore his white kimono as it was a gift that was given to him a long time ago. His hair is longer than it used to be as it was tied and now he was tatted all over his body.
The Silver Tempest was ready to show himself to the woman as she would be waiting for him in the main hall as he asked.
“I haven’t worn this in a while. I forgot how comfortable these things were. Still, I guess I can’t refuse the request of the prince of clover. Still, Kouhei and Sekai need to bring themselves back to base, they been gone for a long time and I kind of missed them both.” He said to himself as he properly placed the earrings on his ears.
He would come out of his office as he would start walking through the hallways. He would take his grimoire but knew that he didn’t or wouldn’t have to use it. They already knew who the culprit behind this was, but they needed to take in smartly. His steps were fast-paced as he made his way through the area without a second to waste. The people in the base would greet him and he would do the same thing with a smile on his face. The only time he would act cold was when a woman approached him with her feelings. He had been let down too many times to allow a situation like that to happen to him again. The noble would see the young, beautiful, yet small girl waiting for him. Her hair nicely done and the attire she wore fit the occasion.
“I see you are dressed beautifully, Hanami. I wished I had my ring to take us to the capital quickly, but sadly I lend it to Kouhei for the time being. Still, we will get there on time or early still if we start heading there now.” He said this to her as he held his arm out so she could grab on to it so they could be on their way.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]Hanami's lilac eyes would lock with her Captain's golden ones momentarily as he stepped out into the main hall, her gaze quickly averting away from him. Despite being apart of his squad for a couple months now, she still wasn't that well acquainted with him, mostly just doing her work and avoiding conversation for the most part. Truth be told she found him incredibly scary, not in a bad way, she simply knew how powerful he was and that was terrifying enough for the permeation mage.
"Ariga- ah, th-thank you, C-Captain." Hanami stuttered at the young male's compliment, blushing in embarrassment at her slip up, almost reverting to her native tongue. Tentatively the maiden would link her arm in his, feeling the warmth of his body where they made contact with one another. Stepping outside of the squad base together, they would be greeted with a horse drawn carriage, blended in to appear like any other noble in the region. Taking her place inside the finely crafted cart, Hanami would give take a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. It was the first time she would be working directly with Captain Krane, and she was afraid after seeing her in action he would deem her dis-satisfactory and fire her on the spot. She had worked so hard to ensure her parent's dreams for her had come to fruition, if she failed here, she would become more than a mere disappointment to herself.
"Ah... Captain..." Hanami quietly muttered, barely audible, "The um..." she paused for a second attempting to remember the word, "PLAN! Is there plan to get proof?" She asked with a smile, happy she had managed to recall the term in clover's language fairly quickly this time.

He would smile at her reply to him and with her arm locking into his he would walk outside of the door. Yuurei’s motion would lead her to the open door of the carriage as he waited for her to enter first. As he watched her into the carriage he would give her enough time and go in right after her. The driver would close the door when they were both inside and settled, and he would crack his neck as he would just lay back on the seat and crack a few bones. While he did that he would look over to Hanami as she had asked him a question. He had pouted a bit when he heard her words and he made a ticking noise with his lips continuously smacking together.
The driver started moving the carriage now as they were now on their way to the Royal Capital. It wouldn’t be a long ride either as they weren’t far from this place. The ticking of his lips would stop as he looked over to her as he was done thinking about what they could do to get the man to spill the beans.
“We can approach him after a few drinks given to him. We could act as if we have people around the Capital who learned about his work and that we want in on it. Still, we have to ask him if he can tell us more about his plan, so we aren’t left in the dark. This way we get him to confess of course. I think its better that you are known as my wife. We will use your family’s name instead of mine so we don’t blow our cover.” He paused for a second as he took in a deep breath.
“I will go by the name Aoi, as that is my father’s name, so I figured might as well use that. So, we will act as if we are a husband and wife, Aoi Okamoto, and Hanami Okamoto. If there is any fighting then I guess we will have to take care of things quietly, but I hope it doesn’t come to that. If you think it’s a bad idea though, or if you have anything to add or even a better plan I’m fine listening to you. I do have to take my hair out of a ponytail.” He said as he took off the band that was holding his hair as it dropped all over the place.
“This way they do not have a clear view of my identity. So how are you liking the Silver Eagles so far, Hanami?” He asked her wondering what she would say.
The ride was smooth as it could be; there was nothing wrong with the ride as the horses didn’t have any trouble through the road. There were no complaints from the driver, so he figured that he would make a conversation with one of the members from his squad.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]Hamani's fingers fidgeted about as she listened intently to the plan, blushing even harder than she had before at the mention of pretending to be his wife. She wasn't against his plan by any means, it was simply difficult for her to imagine being anyone's wife, let alone her squad captain. The permeation mage would take a deep breath to calm her nerves, it was just pretend, it wasn't real, all she had to do was act the part.
It started to make more sense why she was chosen now though. Of course, using her name would draw least suspicion, it was not native to the country for a start. Therefore, they would appear far less likely to have any emotional ties to the royal family, making it much easier to persuade someone that they too wish to bring about their downfall.
"Ah, no your plan is good." Hanami mumbled while waving her hands frantically, as he offered to listen to anything she had to add. She'd stop, her eyes transfixed on Yuurei's silky black hair momentarily as he released his ponytail, it was so long and beautiful she was almost envious of it. Her eyes would quickly snap back up to his face as he spoke again, causing her to lose her train of thought.
"Ah, yes, the Silver Eagles have been good to me so far. I am very happy here." She smiled, truth be told she had had difficulty making any friends, but that was mostly to due to her being too timid to approach anyone or strike up a conversation. They had all treated her fairly well, and she had worked alongside a couple of them here and there for work purposes with little to no issues. However, she really had to work on boosting her confidence, and she was more than aware of that.
Post by Yuurei Krane on Apr 27, 2020 23:19:49 GMT -5
Yuurei would hear her words and chuckle at the motions of her hands as her eyes were locked to his hair. It wouldn’t be long at all before she told him how the squad had been treating her. That was good to hear and he was glad that they didn’t give her any trouble. She wasn’t from the kingdom originally, so to anybody that knew that she was an outsider. He was fine with that, however, and he just relaxed to know that he didn’t have to discipline his members.
He would move his hands to his hair and brush his hair back, but to only have it go back to the same spot it was before.
“Well at least they won’t really know it’s me. I never let my hair loose, so this would be a first. I don’t like when it gets in the way.” He said to her.
He was thinking about his plan as he was trying to see if there was anything that he needed to add to it. The noble kept thinking about it, but to no avail as he figured that if there was anything that was needed to add in there they would improvise.
“I guess we will be fine with the plan then, and if anything I think you should be the one to handle any roughing up on the Aristocrat’s guards, which I’m sure he will have some. My spells would only cause quite the mess and we don’t want that.” He said to her with a smile on his face.
The house continued their movements towards the Royal Capital as they were now inside of the city. It was beautiful within the walls and a lot of people wore fine clothes as they travel through the cities. Of course, there were a few stragglers who didn’t wear the best clothing, but those were the people who tried their luck in getting rich within the capital or were visiting. The wind wizard kept looking as he could see that their destination was near, which he was glad as he was feeling cramp for some reason. He figured it had to do with the fact that he was saw used to riding on his golems all the time.
“We aren’t far from our location. Don’t forget to use my father’s name for me.” He said as he looked at Hanami with a smile on his face.
After the travel through the city, the carriage would come to a stop. Yuurei could feel it that they were there, and the driver would hop out of his seat to move to the doors of the carriage. He would open it up without hesitating and Yuurei would step out of the carriage first. When the young lad had come out he would look into the carriage and he would extend his hand out as to help Hanami out of the carriage and of course out of chivalry.
“I do say you are quite stunning and I think you are going to make a lot of ladies quite jealous.” He said, but the reason behind it was a vague one.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]"Um, yea, I completely understand, I put my hair up for same reason." Hanami chuckled, instinctively reaching up and touching her hair that was currently done up in a far more fashionable way than her usual simple bun. While she hadn't realised it, her body had started to relax a little around the young man, he was far less frightening than she had always made him out to be now that she had an opportunity to talk to him directly.
Despite this she would remain quiet for most of their journey, just nodding at his instructions. She wasn't the greatest fighter, but she had a few interesting skills that made her a difficult target if she had to fight with anyone. Plus, they weren't planning on killing anyone, if everything went smoothly they might not have to even fight at all. Hearing him mention not to forget to call him the correct name, she would glance up, her eyes locking with his momentarily.
"Yes Ca- ah, Aoi." She blushed, casting her eyes down to her feet, it was going to be difficult to call him anything but Captain, but she had to remember, for his sake and the sake of their mission. Feeling the carriage come to a halt, Hanami would take one more deep breath, she had grown up in a world of nobles, just not these particular ones, however, many of the formalities were similar. This was a world she easily fit into, so she had nothing to fear or at least that's what she told herself. Stepping out of the cart she'd take Yuurei's hand to steady herself, his words making her cheeks heat up once more.
"Ah, I think they are more jealous with me being here with you." She chuckled lightly, her words not completely expressing entirely how she felt on the matter.

Yuurei chuckle when he heard what she had said about the girls being jealous because she was with him. That would be a big part of it indeed, but jealously only gets stronger when the woman next to him is pretty herself. As she got out of the carriage they would see that they were in front of a huge estate. It wasn’t the royal castle, but one of the many buildings owned by the royal crown themselves. This was the location of the party and it seemed like they were a lot of people outside already. There were people who were entering the place, while others watched who moved into the party. Yuurei would turn to his side as he held her hand and place it around his arm. He would smile at everyone as they would look at him. Yes, there were a few people that did recognize him, but there were others who would be surprised at the handsome man and beautiful woman wondering who they were and where they came from.
His hair was dashing as it could be and for a man with a hair so well taken care of it would just bring people to whisper to each other about it. Yuurei would continue his movement inside of the building with Hanami by his side. The noble as confident as ever would only make his move as he knew that they were on a job.
“It seems like people enjoyed how we looked. Still, we need to find that aristocrat. From what I was told by the prince, he’s wearing a black and blue suit, a little heavy on the weight as he has a big gut that looks like it’s ready to pop the shirt. He’s wearing a long robe, and he has a lot of jewelry on his hands. I head he isn’t that hard to spot.” He let her know on the description of the man as he kept looking straight ahead of him with a confident look on his face.
“Also he is the center of the party as this was thrown for him. Still, I think we should enjoy ourselves for the time being. We are here for a party, after all, the man should get a bit intoxicated before we approach him.” He said to her as he looked over to her with a smile on his face.
He had seen her blush many times before and he found it cute and adorable t see that she was nervous around him. If he recalled from her papers she was older than him, so he figured that she would be the one teaching him new tricks, moves, and even trying to get him nervous, but that didn’t seem to be her personality at all.
Yuurei would grab two drinks from one of the butlers moving around the area with one hand as he would move it towards Hanami before releasing it to her hands and taking a sip of his own. He would sigh with relief as it was an enjoyable feeling when drinking this.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]Hanami listened carefully, feeling herself get a little nervous under the watchful eyes of others. However, it seemed that they had managed to successfully blend in, not drawing further attention once they stepped into the main hall. The sounds of people chattering, glassing clinking and joyful tunes echoed through the building, it was so upbeat and joyful, it made the permeation mage a little sad that she would only get to enjoy the party for a short time. She wasn't one that tended to enjoy large crowds, but having someone by her side gave her a little more confidence and she'd thank him as he passed her a glass of what she could only assume was a fine wine fit for a king.
It seemed that no expense had been spared, the royal family showing off their wealth as Hanami spied some other forms of entertainment other than simple musicians, some jesters making the crowd roar with laughter from time to time. All the time, her lilac eyes were scanning the room, trying to locate a man that fit the description given to her by her captain. It took far longer than she would have liked, but eventually she managed to track him down, tugging gently on her pretend husband's kimono to get his attention before subtly pointing him out.
All they had to do was keep a close eye on him now, perhaps even send a few more drinks his way, although from the looks of things, that wouldn't be an issue. He seemed to rather enjoy his alcohol and didn't seemed worried in the slightest that anyone was onto him, as the aristocrat continued to chug down drink after drink as the evening continued to play out.
Post by Yuurei Krane on Apr 28, 2020 12:26:24 GMT -5
Yuurei kept himself close to Hanami. He looked around to only catch a handful of eyes staring at him. Ladies that were on their own catching the sight of the couple, only to whisper into each other’s ears to have them look in the direction of Yuurei. He would only chuckle as he shook his head and turned his eyes into a different location. He was looking for the aristocrat and it seemed that his partner had found him quicker than he could. The noble could feel the tug, which caught his attention and he would see that the man was enjoying his time as well. He would smile as they had found their target, but he would also notice something else. There were two bodyguards with him, which meant they would need a way to approach him without making it look suspicious or starting anything.
“Nice eyes you got there Hanami.” He would say this referring to the fact that she found their target, but it was so vague she could have taken it any way she wanted.
The wind mage would lead them around the room as they were enjoying their time, keep a safe distance from their target, so they wouldn’t get spotted out, or even look suspicious with them always being near the aristocrat. His drinking habits was crazy, and even though Yuurei was drinking, he made sure it was at a really slow pace than he usually would.
“We should approach him soon. I don’t want him to become too intoxicated that he can’t speak or anything of the sort.” He said to Hanami with a smile on his face.
She was cute and innocent or that was how he saw her from his point of view. He started walking towards the Aristocrat without hesitating with Hanami by his side. The aristocrat would notice the two approach him as they got closer and he would only smile and look at the two before stepping closer to them.
“How are you two enjoying the celebration. I can’t believe the prince would throw such a beautiful party for me. I don’t think we’ve met before.” He said as he looked at Yuurei and Hanami.
Yuurei would smile as he slightly bowed to the aristocrat in front of him.
“Yes, I am enjoying the party, what about you my love? Also, yes, we’ve never met before. My name is Aoi Okamoto and this is my wife Hanami Okamoto. We’re nobles from the Rising Sun who moved over to this kingdom not too long ago.” He said this to the aristocrat.
The large man would nod when he heard this as he would rub his belly for a bit and took in more alcohol.
“I see you two are married lovely wife you got there. I would have wanted her for myself. I can see why you went for herself there Aoi. Anyways, anything you want to talk about Aoi, or does your wife have anything to say?” He asked and while some of his words were slurring, he was still fine with his speech.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]Hanami would blush at his comment, not realising what meant by his words, taking them as a compliment to her physical appearance. While she understood the words, understanding their meaning was another thing entirely. She would follow him around like a lost puppy, careful not to raise any suspicions as she tried her best to communicate with people that approached them. All in all, everything seemed to be going quite smoothly, and it wasn't too long till Yuurei believed it was time to approach.
"Ah yes, the party is very lovely. So many lively people." She smiled as she was spoken to, blushing slightly at the man's comments, while feeling a little sick having hear them come from such a man. She quickly wished to change the subject off of herself and on track to getting the truth out of him, "The party was thrown for you? You must be Lord Warren, it is a pleasure to meet you." Hanami added, using the formal lines she had memorised perfectly while bowing her head gently as she recalled the name from the briefing.
"Yes, yes, that is I indeed. How wonderful that you have heard of me!" The man chuckled, seemingly delighted by everything happening around him. Then again, who wouldn't feel at least a little joyous to have a party thrown by royals in their honour. It wasn't something that happened on a regular basis after all.
Hanami wasn't entirely sure how Yuurei wished to mention the prospect of working together, and finding out exactly what the man was up to, but she did have a plan for once they had begun speaking. If she could help it, she didn't wish to harm anyone, not even his bodyguards, attacking them and knocking them unconscious would be a last resort. Instead once her 'husband' and Lord Warren had started to get along and they had the proof they needed she would briefly mention going to get herself a new drink. As she predicted Lord Warren was just like any rich, powerful and drunken aristocrat, he was incredibly stupid. He wouldn't dare allow a lovely lady such as herself to go alone to do such a task, sending one of his guards in her place, ordering them to fetch it for her, which would leave only one left standing beside him. It was a trick her mother had taught her many years ago, one that rarely failed when it came to the nobles of Hino, and it seemed they were just as gullible here in Clover.
While her plan had succeeded it wasn't perfect, getting both guards to leave his side would be near impossible, she had known this from the start. So she would prepare herself, ready to strike the moment Yuurei made a move to tell her to do so.
Post by Yuurei Krane on Apr 29, 2020 1:23:57 GMT -5
Yuurei would look at Hanami and he would smile because he was glad that she had been calmed when speaking to the Aristocrat. He heard Hanami mentioned heading out for another drink, and one of the guards was going to escort her. Warren thought about something and then he looked at the two and wondered if they were truly married.
“Wait before you go off with my guard to get a drink, can you do me one simple pleasure?” He asked her and Yuurei was curious to hear what it was that he was going to say.
“May I ask what you want her to do Warren?” He asked for her just to get an answer out of him quickly.
“Prove to me that she is your wife?” He asked, and when Yuurei heard those words he chuckled as he walked over to Hanami without hesitating.
The wind mage would look at the small yet beautiful girl and he knew what to do that would bring the man to stop questioning stupid things even if he had the right to do so. Yuurei’s hand moved to the bottom of Hanami’s chin and he would lift her face up towards his with a nice and gentle touch. The noble would lean towards her without a second to waste, as his hair moved down with him. He would press his lips against her as he closed his eyes for a bit as he made it as passionate as it could get. When he was done the man would stand up straight again as he would look over to Warren as he licked his lips having her taste on him with a smile on his face.
“There is your proof. Now I have some stuff to speak to you about if you want to hear me out.” He said to Warren.
The man would giggle a bit as it was a nice scene to see two happy couples kiss. It also seemed like his new friend wanted to talk about something, but he wasn’t sure what it was about.
”Sure we can talk about anything you want. Just in case I will let my second bodyguard go along with your wife so we can have some privacy.” He said to Yuurei.
Yuurei would nod as Warren would lead Yuurei to a place they could sit down, and Yuurei would take a seat right next to him.
“So, I have heard rumors from my little birdies. It’s about a private matter and I want in on it. I too have the same feelings for that person and would like to what’s the word sit in the Royal Court as well.” He paused for a bit as he could see that Warren was surprised that he was so blunt about the situation.
“As you can see me and my wife are not originally from clover, so when I found out one of its natives had mutual feelings I figured I would jump on the opportunity.” He said this to Warren.
Warren would smile and chuckle as he placed his hand on Yuurei’s thighs. The noble flinched a bit when he saw this as he didn’t like what was going on here. He felt a bit sick to the stomach as he looked over to Warren.
“What I can tell you is this. Your little birdies are correct in the matter with the royal court, but if you want to know more you have to do something for me. It’s too bad you have a wife, unless…” He would say this as he would move his hand upward on Yuurei’s thigh.
The Krane couldn’t take this anymore as he would move his hand onto Warren’s hand and he would stop him right where he was. The wind mage would remove the hand off of his thigh as he would look at Warren and then get up from his seat.
“Are you saying what I think you’re saying. It’s that why you sent both of your bodyguards with my wife, so you could be alone with me? I asked that you tell me more about what I want to know and let me join you on that matter, or else I will tell everyone your dark little secret.” He said this to Warren.
It was in this moment the aristocrat had screwed him over as he thought this man wouldn’t think or jump into that conclusion. It shocked him and he got up from his seat and tried to please with Yuurei, but he wasn’t budging. That was when Warren told him about everything and asked Yuurei to join his side. The Silver Tempest would smile when he got all the information he needed and he would move his hand out for the aristocrat to grab.
Warren would chuckle as he would grab Yuurei’s hand. The wind mage would pull Warren closer to him, and once he got close he would do a few things. He would put a rag into the man’s mouth, turn him around as he pressed him against the wall and squeezed his arm behind his back. He would place cuffs on the man’s wrist that prevented him from using magic.
“You are hereby taken captive for conspiring against the Clover Kingdom and the royal family.” He said this to the Aristocrat, and when he tried to resist, but he felt weak due to the cuffs.
Yuurei wasn’t sure if Hanami was fine on her own, but he would move through the back of the party as he didn’t want their cover blown and would wave for her at the outside of the building, so they can take Warren to the prince.
[attr="class","hanatextd"]Hanami was about to leave with the guard when he heard the nobleman question their relationship. The permeation mage felt a pit in her stomach form, fearing he had seen through their performance as he asked for 'proof' of their marriage. What happened next was an absolute shock to the young woman's system as her captain didn't hesitate for a moment to swoop in, gently locking his lips with her own in a short, but passionate embrace.
Needless to say, Hanami's head was swimming with confusion, she knew it was all an act, one to trick the aristocrat, but the butterflies she felt in her stomach at this point were no joke as her face went bright red as she felt the stares of strangers in her direction. She would turn away quickly without a word so not to give herself away as she headed off with the duo of guards towards the bar. She hadn't been planning to get a drink for real, but now she felt like she needed one.
By the time she reached the party's drink stand she had calmed down a bit, far less people focused in her direction. Her heart however, was still beating rapidly as she thought about what had just occurred. In a small fluster she would order her drink, asking the guards if they would like anything, but as she suspected they'd both shake their bald heads, not wishing to drink while they were technically on the clock. Turning back around, her eyes would trail over towards the direction of her captain and Lord Warren, her eyes widening as she spied him arresting him already, he certainly worked fast, but quietly as it seemed next to no one had even taken note. Acting quickly before the two body guards could turn to see their boss in his current predicament.
"Your boss is arrested. It is suggested you both come quietly, telling us what you know will likely get you free before day is over. Fleeing now, you will be labelled guilty." Hanami would simply whisper to the two males so they weren't overheard. It seemed that while they were not overly intelligent they were at least smart enough to listen, rather than try to fight her, even if she did seem to be weak, they were surrounded by some of the kingdoms most powerful mages, it would be suicide to try and cause chaos here.
"It seems you understand, that is good." The permeation mage released a sigh of relief, as she would not have to get physical, their mission complete. Moving through the crowd, they would manage to leave the party all together, without a fuss from either of the guards, who seemed intimidated enough by their boss being in cuffs to not try to start anything stupid. She would smile upon seeing Yuurei outside and away from the other guests, happy she had done her best to help without causing a ruckus just as they had promised the prince.
"Wow did you really get him talking quickly?" Hanami would ask in disbelief, already assuming the answer was yes, after all, her captain wasn't an idiot, Lord Warren wouldn't be in cuffs already if he hadn't, "These two will be good, they seem smart enough to know best decision is coming and talking with us." She added, gesturing with a smile to the two bodyguards who honestly seemed shocked that their lord was in cuffs, perhaps they didn't know his plan and simply worked for him. It was possible they had not been told the intricacies of their lord's plans, but they would have to be questioned none the less.

Yuurei was waiting for Hanami outside of the party and while he was doing this, he figured he would tie up his hair back to how it used to be. He would do that quickly and when Warren noticed who it was that he was trying to flirt with, he would only be embarrassed. He knew exactly who it was that arrested him. This man was known as the Silver Tempest, the captain of the Silver Eagles, and the head of the Krane family. Warren wanted to talk, but he couldn’t because he had a damn rag in his mouth. He couldn’t believe that he had been treated like this and he could only start to assume that this party was all a plan to get him to spill the beans. It bothered him, but at the same time, he knew what his faith was going to be.
When he heard her speak up about how he got him to talk quickly, Yuurei looked away from Warren as it was not an enjoyable time to be touched by man. Still, he figured he would spill the beans to her.
“Yeah it seemed that he was interested in me and jealous that I belonged to you. He tried to make a move on me, and the only reason why his bodyguards were sent with you was that he didn’t want anybody to know his dirty little secret.” He said as his body shivered as he caught goosebumps.
He didn’t mind the sexual preference of other people, but he didn’t enjoy it when they made a move on him. Still, he shook his head to get that thought out of his head as he would look at her and was glad that these two guys had come with her quietly.
“That’s good to hear. I’m glad they didn’t cause you any trouble. Now we should make our way to our next destination.” He said as he started walking towards the Prince’s location and the palace.
While he was doing that he figured he would speak to her.
“Sorry about the kiss. I hope I wasn’t a bad kisser.” He said with a nice little smirk on his face as he knew he wasn’t.
