"A kiss was enough to save him…"
Wei Shin stared into the ceiling, tracing the shadow coming from the glass window beside his bed. Yes, he was back in his own room. The truth is, after hearing what the royal physician said, he couldn't even look at Zi Yuzuo in the eyes, nor in the face.
Every minute, he was tempted to kiss the Prince. Which is making him more anxious and ashamed. Wei Shin slapped his cheeks real hard enough to make it red, "What the heck am I thinking right now?!" He blabbed out to himself
And yes, he had decided to make the transferring of his yin energy quick today so that he could grab the chance to sleep back at his room. His room was beside the Prince's room so if something might happen, he will be alerted immediately. Besides, Yunmei was there, guarding the Prince.
But what if the old man was right? Will Prince Yuzuo wake up right away like sleeping beauty? What will happen though? He didn't know, that's why it was so frustrating for him. What kiss will it be? A smack? A french kiss? What kind of kiss was the old man talking about?
Wei Shin again slapped his face and rolled on his bed while hugging his pillow, he couldn't help but blushed.
[Gather yourself,Jinli!! What is wrong with me!?]
DICCU: What is wrong with you though? Do you have diarrhea?
[What the heck is that? Where did you get that, Diccu?]
DICCU: I just heard it, you know when you can't sleep at night and rolling on bed
[Well, thank you for the concern but I'm not feeling that right now]
DICCU: Oh, my bad
[ Diccu, you're hopeless]
Before Wei Shin could spill another word, the doors on his balcony suddenly opened. It delivered a strong impact of chilly wind to him which made him close his eyes and blocked his face.
Wei Shin stayed still, "Is there a typhoon today?" He asked himself. But was taken aback when a shadow emerged at the end of his bed. "Okay, this is not funny," he mumbled, a little bit scared.
Wei Shin was paralyzed when the shadow touched the end of his bed. It was a human, wearing a blue robe and thick hood. From his height, he knew already who it was.
Wei Shin met his jade green eyes, it was glaring sharply at him. It was glowing under the moonlight that was reflected by the window. He gulped "Prince X-Xiao Zhen?" he stuttered
The male didn't reply, instead he pulled out a dagger from his robe pockets. It caused the male on the bed to flinch.
Xiao Zhen walked towards Wei Shin, he had this mischievous grin on his cheeks the moment he touched the soft cushion of the bed. "Good evening, my dear Wei Shin…" he giggled, there was something in his tone that made Wei Shin feel shivers down to his spine.
Xiao Zhen touched the male's face with the edge of the sharp dagger he was carrying. "Aren't you happy?" he asked, he was pleased by the male's reaction "Don't show that face to me," he mumbled
He clenched Wei Shin's jaw "Do you want to save Prince Yuzuo that badly? I pity you,because you will never see him again…"
"Stopp!!!!!!!"

It happened under the blooming days of the magnolia tree. The peach and white petals falling down on them were bringing a more romantic atmosphere.
"My Prince...I will stay by your side forever" a smile stretches young Xiao Zhen's cheeks. Seeing the handsome and adorable Prince on his side was enough to complete his day.
Yes, The second Prince of the Carnatia Kingdom, Xiao Zhen, was so in love with Prince Yuzuo. They are destined for each other even though they're still young. They were bonded by their parents, the first ruler of their kingdoms.
Sexuality wasn't a problem as long as it will gain more followers and wealth towards each other.
Xiao Zhen and Zi Yuzuo grew together, from their childhood up to their royal training for the throne. Until the day when Prince Yuzuo was destined to attend the Empire war.
After 5 months, Zi Yuzuo came back. He was different from what he used to be. He started to be quiet and cold to everyone.
It is said that, the second King, his uncle tries to steal the throne from him by using the empire war to kill him. They thought that Prince Yuzuo died in the battle, they even spread it as rumours throughout the whole kingdom. But the truth was, it was his uncle who also killed his parents while he was risking his life during the war.
When Zi Yuzuo came back with Qi Feng from the war, everyone was surprised; as if they were really expecting him to rot there. Of course, Prince Yuzuo already knew about the false rumours.
He went straight to the King's throne and used his sword straight to cut his Uncle's neck in front of everyone. From that day on, everything inside the kingdom changed, the prosperous and wealthy Rosalia Empire was built again.
Zi Yuzuo cut off everything unnecessary, including the bonds between Xiao Zhen and him. It almost made the Second Prince dashed to the palace after receiving a letter of goodbye. He was so broken hearted, but was delighted again as he convinced himself that he will get Zi Yuzuo back.
Until Wei Shin came that day, the attention who's only for him turned to illusions. The small time Zi Yuzuo spends for him vanished into thin air. He wasn't the apple of the eye anymore. He decided to befriend Wei Shin to observe the things he lacked. Maybe when he copied Wei Shin's character, the Prince would fall for him.
But it led Xiao Zhen to disappointment. After knowing that Wei Shin wasn't that special after all, he began to drown himself into obsessive jealousy. He started to hate the male secretly and made some plans to erase him from the Prince's line of sight.

"Stopp!!!!"
The door was widely opened and the two figures on the bed were surprised. Qi Feng dashed towards and quickly pulled Wei Shin away from Xiao Zhen.
"Second Prince of the Carnatia Kingdom, What are you doing?!" Qi Feng's voice was full of authority. He was pointing his sword towards the Prince with his sharp and fierce eyes.
Xiao Zhen's face turned pale, he instantly withdrew the dagger he was holding a while ago as it fell down. His face started to turn anxious and restless,he was like a cat now with a tail behind his back.
He whimpered and slid down on his knees, covering both of his ears like there was something whispering to him. "S-Sorry, I-I d-d-didn't mean t-to d-do s-such things…" he stuttered.
10 of the royal guards under Qi Feng marched inside the room, circled around the second Prince who was still in dismay.
Unfortunately, he managed to stood up and clung onto Wei Shin's legs with his shaking pupils and sudden whined "Wei Shin, I'm sorry…" he cried "Forgive me, you're the one at fault here because you stole my only dear Prince Yuzuo" he pleaded.
Wei Shin was surprised and frightened at the same time, he tightened the grip on Qi Feng's clothes. It was the first time for him to encounter such a person with a quick change of mind. He didn't know what to respond to.
Qi Feng ordered three of his subordinates to pulled Prince Xiao Zhen away from Wei Shin, "I, Qi Feng, the royal commander and Wei Shin's personal guard, witnessed the Second Prince, Xiao Zhen, pointing a dagger to the royal highness' slave to commit treason...I will now give my orders to send the Prince back to Carnatia Kingdom, he will be now banned from Rosalia Empire...It will serve as my temporary punishment from the power Prince Zi Yuzuo gave me.." he ordered
'DING! BREAKMETER: 90%'
"No no no!! Don't do this, Qi Feng!!!! I want to see my Prince!!! Pleaseee!!!" Xiao Zhen cried out while the guards were dragging him outside the door until they vanished.
"He must love the Prince so much…" Wei Shin uttered, with a pity on his face.
Qi Feng glanced at Wei Shin and saw how he was trembling, he didn't hesitate to pull the male into his embrace. "You are too brave to hold back your fear" he brushed the male's hair "You can cry now, I'm here…" he whispered after feeling Wei Shin's grip from the hem of his tunic.
The tension inside Wei Shin's body lingered up and in an instant, he found himself crying. Letting out the heavy shock that triggered him flew out.
Qi Feng stayed silent, he didn't disturb the male because even him could feel the sting inside his heart. As for someone who's adoring Wei Shin so much, he doesn't like it when the male was in this state.
