章 56: She's My Lover

The room silent for a moment before Grey finally speak again.

"Then, we'll leave tomorrow morning." He smiles at Yuina and turns to look at Kyra. He pats on her hair gently. "Tonight, make sure you make a cure to your friends first. We'll bring your White Moon Lily tomorrow."

"Mister Grey..I'm sorry. But I can't just let you bring My Lady there. It's quite dangerous. So, I'm offering my help to escort you to the Heliodor kingdom." Jett said after thoroughly think about it.

Hayden is in a condition where he can't protect Yuina right now. So, it is his responsibility to protect her along with the other two dragons. He will try to keep their identity low in human form until Hayden fully recovered. After all, he can put Grey under the spell to make sure he will not remember any of abnormal event if they had to use their power later.

"Sure. But, I need to have word with General Kiki and the King first." Grey said.

Yuina gasps a bit. She was just remembered that Hans is also at the palace right now.

"Wait!!" Yuina and Kyra shout at the same time before they look at each other.

"You knew?" Kyra asks Yuina. Her eyes turn a bit wider.

"Ah! Yeah... I forgot to tell you." She scratches her temple a bit.

"Did he do something bad to you?" Kyra holds both of Yuina's shoulder. Showing her concern.

"N..no.. don't worry." Yuina smile at her.

"What is it?" Grey asked, looking at both of the women.

"Uh…it just...I thought you gonna tell him that we're here. You know..he probably attack us and kill us.." Kyra said.

"Huh? No. He wouldn't do that. So far, he's the wise King I've met." Grey said making all other people inside the room turn a bit bitter with that statement.

'If he's the wise King, why the hell he tried to kill Yuina? Crazy.'

"Don't worry, I won't tell about our plan. I just want to know their strategy to stop this drug from spreading to another province."

"Err..if you say so. Then, off you go."

"Hmm..I'll see you again later." He caresses on Kyra's cheek before he out of the room.

'Well…let's pretend that I'm not hearing anything at all..even though I kinda figure out who they are. Better pretend to be the air.' Asahi monologue inwardly.

Kyra continues on making the cure using the White Moon Lily that Yuina bring back earlier.

After two hours, she finally has done making the cure. She put it inside the ampule. One flower could only make for five ampules. Kyra sighs.

"We need a large amount of this flower to save this city."

"We'll find it." Yuina pat on Kyra's shoulder before all of them return back to their barrack.

…

Grey went inside the meeting room after getting permission.

"Your Majesty.." Grey bow his head to King Hans.

"Grey..come in." He smiles at him.

"Speak up." He said again after Grey takes a seat at the side of the table which has a few important people.

"Your Majesty, we have found the cure for this drug effect. However, the location of this herb is quite far. I am personally requesting to go and retrieve this herb with your authorization, Your Majesty."

Hans silent for a moment. He tries to make an assumption from his point of view. He did saw Yuina at the well today. Plucking some herb. He also encounters with Jett, Cerulean and Roux.

Hayden and two other dragon guardian also in a state where they can't fight. So there must be someone among them who know how to make a cure. He or she must be not a simple person. Before, base on the story of commander Zuko, Hayden, and Yuina fall from the high and deadly cliff.

But the last time he saw both of them in Emerald province, they did not have any serious injury or scar. Which means, they have been treated by someone who specialized in the medical field. But who is this person? To be able to create a cure that no one knows how to do it in the past years is something…so incredible. It'll be a huge asset if he can obtain that person.

But…he or she are now sided with Yuina. It's not gonna easy to persuade that person. People around Yuina is very loyal to her. Unless…Grey can make that person change that he or her's mind.

"This person…who make the cure..do you know who it is, Captain? How do we trust it?" He asks. Try to pry any information from him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. She had skills and knowledge. I trust her judgment." Grey acknowledges Kyra's skill. His lips curled up a bit.

'She? So, it is a girl. Judging from how Grey describes her..he's in love with that girl, huh?'

"Well, if you trust her then I will also trust you. You may go to retrieve the herb you mentioned. If you need any backup, state it now. I will send your troops here."

"No, Your Majesty. I'd be done in a short time. No need to draw out my troops." He smiles after getting permission.

"Okay then. Let's discuss the mission for tomorrow. I will personally go and visit the warehouse where they made those drug. I don't want to attract more attention. Just enough with me, Lord Albert and two of my soldier. General Kiki, I appreciate if you could block the attack from the pirate. I believe they will get the information about me being here and try to assassinate me tomorrow. Grey, you in charge of the cure."

Kiki looks at him with a bit of concern. "Your Majesty, how are you gonna dealing with those people ?"

Chuckles, he looks at her with a smile on his face. "I have my own way of dealing with things. Don't worry, you just do your part."

Lord Albert at the side already glare at Hans. If he being careless, other people will found out about his secret. So he needs to do his part to make sure none of them will enter the warehouse, except he and the King alone.

"I see. Then I will deal with the pirates." Kiki did not ask anymore. If the King decides it to be like that then she can't say no, is she?

"If there's nothing else, let us start to prepare for tomorrow."

All of them agree and leave the room after King Hans and Lord Albert left. While in the guest room, Lord Albert glance at Hans a bit.

"Hans, you need to be careful. You don't want people to know what are you, right? You can take this chance to get rid of those dragons while the guardians in a weak condition."

"Albert...Yuina still didn't awaken yet. I did not feel threatened even if she already obtains her power. She wants to play with those human..let her be.. she'll be mine forever. I'll live for long years. About those dragons….well, once Yuina return to me, they all will bow to me too. So, no need to hurry. We can use their help in the meantime."

Albert sighing. He doesn't understand this man's thinking at all.

"Then why did you try to kill her in the first place?"

"Heh... I thought she will awake, but then she still asleep. After all, its the only way I could solely rule this kingdom until she's awake and gets her abilities back. Even if I did kill her that time, do you think she'll die?"

Albert frowned upon hearing his question.

"She will not?"

"Of course not. She's my lover, we share everything. All that I have, she also has it. I am after all…half of her." Hans grinning.

"General Hayden. He loves her as well as you love her. What would you do about it?"

"Hayden? He's a mere human. Believe me, once she's awake, she will leave him. A human cannot be compared with us, the immortals."

"So, is this the reason why..you just let her go around the kingdom and gather all dragons again? Because you know, she will be at your side, in the end?"

"Hmmm.. something like that." Hans smiling.
