Chapter 2: The, Master Hane

"Crown Prince!" Crown Prince!"

"Hmmmmmm???... Call me Hane when outside." The prince replied short and glared at Attendant Ling.

"Crown Prince, how can I address you with that name? His Highness will kill me if he ever hear of this." Attendant Ling cried.

"Then, Master Hane.."

"Alright Master Hane." Attendant Ling sighed then frightened at the sight of a shadow guard instantly appeared infront of them.

"Report."

"My Lord, here is the files for the investigation you asked last night. The security was tight but I obtained them, nonetheless. There was nothing peculiar while I was reading the files in the beginning, However,..."

Silence grew after he looked at his attendant. Signaling the importance of the next result of the shadow guard's investigation. No one has to know yet this information. Crown prince looked at his attendant. Understanding the meaning of that look, Attendant Ling excused himself.

"Then Master, I'll leave first." Attendant Ling shut the door. After a few minutes....

"My Lord, there was a woman. A woman witnessed the crime, but she did not scream nor even dare shout for help even though the things happened before her eyes. I have a strong feeling that she is involved in all these chain of events."

"Hmmm. Either she was scared, excited to see such crimes or she was the mastermind. As long as she is not directly involved in the crime yet, do not act recklessly. We'll let her off. In the meantime, follow the woman."

"Yes my Lord." Replied Shadow Guard Number One.

The Crown Prince sipped his glass of wine and savored the flavor as if in deep thought. After an hour of leisure drinking, he stood and murmured.

"Hmmmmm it seems like there is more to this than meets the eye." Crown Prince thought to himself.

"Let's go!" Three shadow guards followed suit behind the Crown Prince.

"Attendand Ling, we'll return to the palace."

"Yes Master. I'll get the horses right away."

"I'll meet you at the junction and.." The Crown Prince ordered but was disrupted after because someone bumped unto him.

Everyone was frightened upon the sight of this. "Preposterous! You dare bump on our Lord?" You know the meaning of this??" Shadow Guard Number Two shouted. Crown Prince raised his hand to silence the shadow guard.

"My Lady, are you alright???" Asked the prince.

"Yes." The lady answered and raised his head to face the Crown Prince. Everyone was thunderstrucked speechless to the beauty infront of them.
