Summary: Changmin walked into the castle and sighed...
Changmin walked into the castle and sighed, the king had asked for him and he had a bad feeling about things here, the Great Saga was around here somewhere and he was trying his best not to run into him as he made his way to the privet hall where the king held meeting in privet without anyone interrupting them
Knocking the door and entering changmin blinked, almost surprised to see the prince there, sitting to the meeting table and waiting for him as well
Entering, bowing and sitting down as he was signaled to changmin knew the meeting began; the hall was sealed till the king lifts the charm by the end of the meeting
'So, I heard you managed to avoid a crisis in the village. It was a job well done'
'Thank you your majesty'
'I also noticed that you see absent from the castle those days, I don't think it would be a good idea for the general to leave the castle unguarded for such a long period, don't you think?'
'Yes, of course, your majesty'
'Then you'll be back into the castle starting now and you'll ask for permission before leaving it again'
'I beg to differ, your majesty' Kyuhyun bowed his head a little to his father and spoke up ' I was the one who granted the general permission to leave the castle so he could continue with his amazing job in avoiding one crisis after the other with subjects losing their magic and blaming us, the royals, for it'
'But leaving the castle unprotected…'
'But we got the Great Saga to help protect the castle' Kyuhyun smiled, bitterness and dislike well hidden in the smile ' isn't it his job, after all, to assure the castle's protection and predict when we'll be attacked?'
'It is his job, beside other things, but I still don’t see…'
'Father' Kyuhyun whispered softly, but his voice had something new in it, it was a serious tone, a one that said the subject was already decided and the discussion is done with. Usually, he wouldn't use it with the king, ever. But, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? ' I need you to trust me on this, the general must be the one to deal with those things'
The king eyed his son for a while, sighing he looked up at the ceiling of the room, it was so high up and was plain white, a frown stretched n his face for a while before he nodded his head, giving in to his son's desire
'Very well then, I will trust you on this issue'
'Thank you, your majesty' Kyuhyun bowed his head a little, giving changmin a privet look as he did so
'Thank you your majesty, I won't disappoint you'
'I hope so' the king sighed ' and on another issue' he eyed changmin suspiciously ' I got news about you attacking a subject in a common restaurant in the city, is it right?'
The king looked angry now:' on dangerous times like this we can't have rumors go around that the general is attacking innocent subjects like he please'
'I wish to shade a light on this incident, your majesty, for I believe you only know half the fact'
'Enlighten me then' the king sighed, this was too much for an old man like him
'I was out to have some dinner with my friends and lover, your majesty, after a long day of fighting the darkness on an empty stomach I was so tired and hungry that I was at a snapping point' changmin frowned, only remembering that jerk made him boil with anger
'That would be hard, of course, do go on' the king nodded, encouraging him to go on and tell him his side of the story
'We ordered the food and when it was served I decided I would feed my lover a piece of meat, after doing so I planted a kiss on his lips and hisses began' changmin almost spat now ' they were pointing at us and whispering. I tried to ignore them, I really did. But that jerk pointing at my lover and called him a slut, in front of me, I couldn't allow my lover to be insulted in front of me and sit there without doing anything'
'And why did they need to insult your lover?' the king cracked an eyebrow at him
'Because they see it as a shame to have a slave lover, your majesty' changmin frowned, and the issue was over. Changmin and Kyuhyun both knew very well that changmin was forgiven by now. The king always fought against those who mistreated their slaves, he believed that slaves should be treated with respect and kindness
'Well then, you did nothing wrong. But I do hope you will arrest the subject the next time and torture him in jail instead of doing it like that in public. If he insults anyone, slave or not, you got the right to press charges and arrest him, he will be punished and whipped publicly as a punishment, so you could have your revenge that way. No unexplained violent anymore'
'Yes, your majesty' changmin fought to hide his grin as he bowed once again
'Now, I need you to look at this' the king held out a paper for changmin to see ' this just reached last night, a little before dawn. I need you to go investigate it at once'
Changmin held the paper, all that was written there was the name of a city which wasn't far from the capital
'Right away, your majesty' changmin bowed
As the king lifted the enchantment from around the room changmin and Kyuhyun walked out after paying their respect to the king one last time, they were heading to the prince's bedroom when it happened
The two men came to a halt just a few steps before the prince's room as they came face to face with the Great Saga himself, the man they despised more than anyone
The Great Saga bowed his head a little to them and smiled that smile which always said he knew too much more than he spoke. Changmin bowed his head a little while the prince decided to ignore him
'My oh my, what an honor to have you here, general, as you seem too busy to come anywhere near the castle lately'
'I am a busy man' changmin tried, and almost failed, to keep his tone normal
'What're you doing outside your chamber?' Kyuhyun frowned
'I came out for a walk, my instincts are picking something up' he smiled
Changmin eyed the man, he was wearing some weird cloth once again and he was holding something even stranger with his right hand while he held his wooden cane with his left, it was a little white box. The strange thing about it was actually that it wasn't gold, it wasn't valuable at all
'Right' Kyuhyun almost rolled his eyes, but he too managed to restrain himself somehow
'Well then, don't let me hold you back' the creepy man smiled his creepy smile again and walked away
'I…' changmin frowned, why was it that he felt like he forgot something important about this man that could tie him with everything that's going on? Why was he so sure that the creepy Great Saga was indeed involved in all those strange incident and magic stealing? The answer was simple, because he never liked this man, ever.
'Let's go inside' Kyuhyun allowed changmin into his room and closed the door ' before you leave, I want you to take those to sungmin' he held what looked like a little, golden ring box and handed it to changmin, changmin bowed at once and slipped the thing into his pocket ' tell him I'll come over before lunch time and I'll spend some time with him'
'Of course, your highness'
'Be careful on the mission today, it won't be easy'
'I know… but…'
'Huh?'
'Be careful of him, I don't trust him at all. He's just too suspicious and my guts tell me he's involved in all this mess somehow'
'You mean the one and only Great Saga, huh?' Kyuhyun sighed ' I think so too. He's too weird and suspicious'
'I think he's up to something bad. But I got no evidence and you know how much the king likes him and listens to him. He have a huge power over the king'
'Tell me about it' Kyuhyun rolled his eyes ' sometimes, heck, most of the times he makes my life a living hell when he goes against me. I just want his head on a silver plate. It will be my first decision as a king'
'And I'll happily obey' changmin smirked. Both men fantasized about their joint dream together for a while before they came back to reality with the knock on the door and the servant announcing that the prince was late for god knows what
'I'll be on my way now, then' changmin bowed his head a little ' but as I told you, your highness, do keep an eye on him and if you got the chance, search up his chamber. We need any evidence against him to get him out of our way'
'I'll' Kyuhyun nodded, already thinking of a plan to accomplish this while changmin left to the house.
The ride didn't take much; his horse was pretty fast as always. As he opened the door and entered he saw everyone sitting in the living room together and chatting, even sungmin was sitting on the couch and looking at them, not talking a lot, but nodding now and then and pouting sometimes
'I'm home' changmin called out, making his presence known ' I've got us a new mission' he told everyone and turned to smile softly at sungmin, reaching into his pocket and handing him the box ' the prince sent you this. I don't know if you're familiar with it but it's somewhat like a closet, it's filled with cloth and stuff for you to use, you can empty it in your bedroom'
Sungmin eyed the box and blinked, wondering how many things would fit in it
'And he says he should be here around lunch time to spend some time with you' changmin added and smiled at kibum. He could see him still worried, he saw him worried this morning, since he was summoned to the castle kibum was worried, he was worried it was because of him changmin would be punished, but seeing the wide smile on changmin's face kibum relaxed a little, only a little, for he needed to hear it from changmin to believe that he didn't cause him any troubles, again.
'It's alright. The king said I could torture them if I explained why first' changmin smiled. Well, it was something like this which the king said, right?
'When are we going?' yoochun sighed, looking up to meet changmin's eyes
'After lunch, the prince would be here to keep sungmin company, and it would be only a short ride so we would reach in half an hour or so'
Yunho nodded:' good to hear'
'Let's just hope we won't' fall into a trap like the other time' junsu sighed heavily
Changmin decided he wouldn't tell them the source of information he got in his pocket. He knew they wouldn’t agree to go if they knew about it, so he always kept pulling straight faces on while he explained some more about the mission to them
