SOMEONE FROM HELL
Ye Ruo sat at the side of the window looking at the dark night skies. Tomorow they will make an appearance in public and in national TV. Yuki planned everything till the very last detail. He just needed to cooperate with it. Leaving everything to her, as long as his father and other brother lives.
Unknown to Ye Ruo a pair of bloodshot red eyes is looking on him from the darkness not far from where he is.
"You will just be my pawn. It's indeed a small world. You're the eldest brother of that bastard who killed me." a cold and chilling voice whispered in the darkness.
Ye Ruo suddenly shivers. For some reason he felt a chilling aura that has been lurking in the darkness.
" I guess I'm over thinking, and probably tired. The cold night is taking its effect on me. I better sleep." he murmured to himself. Not being aware that the moment he left the window and close it. The shadow that had been watching him vanish also.

The dark figure was striding fast and stealthy. It reach the wall of the palace, and with a swift move, it able to climb without making any noise.
"this aura. Someone from Hell is here?" Yuki mumbled. Who could it be? As she pondered. The imperial guards went passed by her. She concealed her presence and power. For someone in hell to be here. There's probably a conspiracy. She never thought that humans, blinded with greed would make a contact to the underworld.
"let's see how long you can keep up" she smirked. Then with another flick. She disappeared. She recalled that the crown prince had said something about him witnessing someone taken over the body of empress. So that means, the empress now who is sitting, is actually one from hell.
"this is more entertaining than I ever imagined" she softly said with a bloodthirsty appearance.

Early in the morning Ye Ruo was pacing back and forth, thinking deeply. Today is the day. He needs to steel his emotions. How would he keep a straight face like nothing happened? His emotions will betray him. He was in deep thoughts when suddenly the door opened. A figure in black dress appeared. It's not the usual medieval clothes. But of the modern generation where a black gown would look sophisticated enough when it is being emphasize by the curve of a body.
Yuki appeared in a black dress. Her long and slender arms looks flawless with her silky skin. The crown prince was stunned for a moment. Trying to absorb what he is seeing. That young woman who always wear black and old fashioned transformed into a Goddess that can over turn the whole world. His mouth is gaping and eyes stared fixedly on her.
" uhurrmm, if you keep staring at me like that I'll gouge ur eyes till it becomes an empty black socket." Yuki simply said after discovering the look that Ye Ruo is giving her.
"cough, cough, sorry for that. I was just mesmerized for a moment. Don't blame me." he cough twice after catching himself looking at her with glimmer in his eyes.
" I suppose you are ready? If not, I can handle it on my own. I don't want someone to slow me down with my plans. " Yuki directly told him. With a hint of warning. Her eyes narrowed and sizing him.
" I can handle. Best believe I'll do my best." the crown prince eagerly said. But his eyes betrayed him. Yuki sigh and beckoned him with her point finger. Ye Ruo obediently went forward. Heaving a deep sigh. He look at her helplessly. Yuki ignored his pleading eyes. Not a moment will be wasted. She poke the space between his eye brows and with a sudden feeling. Ye Ruo became emotionless. He is still considered normal though. But his emotions were only suppress. So that watever questions, or watever he sees won't betray him.
" better?" Yuki asked.
"mhmm, it is. Awhile ago I was feeling nervous and almost have an anxiety breakdown. But right now. I feel nothing." Ye Ruo explain. He felt bewildered. But he never dared to question her.
Yuki gave him a glance and he understood already that they should be leaving. Today was announced that there would be an auction and it was only 5 rare items. And only the one with higher status are allowed to participate and bid. That place would be their first target.
They are little far from the center of the city. It would atleast take half a sinchen time (1 sinchen= 2 hours). And during the time on the way. No one spoke a single word. As if, it will jinx their plan. Ye Ruo chose to zip his mouth afraid that if he ask any question he would accept this mysterious lady and also his benefactor. He took a glance of her to see what she was looking at. But the moment he lifted his head and look at her he almost jump out of the car.
"Aarrgghh!!!." he suddenly screamed and turned into a corner of the car. Hoping it would swallow him. He was scared witless. He though that his feelings would be suppress. But who knows. The moment he look at Yuki he almost fainted.
Yuki was havinv fun looking at the scared crown prince. She saw from the corner of her eyes that he would lift his head and look at her. And for some reason, she gave him the face of an evil fox smile. Her mouth stretch wide till it reach both side of her ears and showed her sharp teeths. Her eyes glowed red. And she looked at directly at Ye Ruo. Who would have thought seeing her like that, the effect of what she did to him earlier would be of no use.
She wondered, ignoring the still scared crown prince who was sweating badly. That spell she put on him probably only have effects on humans and not with demons or anything paranormal.
She smirked at him. And gave a snub look. " act more like a grown up. You almost peed on your pants. Such a disgusting man." she berated him intentionally.
Ye Ruo feeling wronged, tried to calm himself and sit straight. He brave himself. And dared not to say any single word but just whimpered in the corner.
