The Last Whiteblood's

Prince Klein

A burly and tall warrior entered a tent reserved for his superiors. The soldier carried a letter in his large hand.

In that tent, there was a handsome young man, clad in a sturdy silver armor. His white skin and brown eyes will hypnotize every woman who sees it. He sat firmly in front of the table on which there was a map with four red dots as a marker.

Those brown eyes of his that were originally focused with the map in front of him became moving towards the soldier standing before him at this moment. It did not take long to look at the man, he turned to the letter the soldier had brought.

"What did you bring for me, Garne?" his baritone voice sounded gallant, he asked his subordinate who was also his personal bodyguard.

"Letter from Your Majesty, Sir" Garne replied as she handed the letter to her master.

"Oh? What's the need?" Garne raised her eyebrows. He opened the letter and read it. After reading the letter, he developed a lip on his face.

"There was something interesting going on in the palace" he said, throwing the letter on the floor. "Done everything, we will rush home" he said in a commanding tone, the young man rising from his seat.

"Okay, sir" Garne bowed respectfully and walked out of the tent.

The sound of trumpets at the city gates rang out to the palace. Dominick who was sitting on his throne immediately got up.

"The prince has arrived" he said. The ministers also got up and followed Dominick out.

The voice also crept towards Yaena's room. The woman was surprised to hear that, she immediately got up slowly from her chair. Her originally somber face brightened to hear the sound of the trumpet signifying the arrival of her earlier husband.

From outside the palace, a party of horses and warriors filled the city road that was directed towards the palace. Garne walked beside the young man, with her thin smile and also her eagle-like eyes, the young man continued to look at the palace.

The palace gate was wide open, Dominick and the palace officials welcomed the young man's arrival. The white horse that became his vehicle stopped at the palace grounds. The young man descended, followed by Garne and the soldiers behind him.

"Welcome back, Prince Klein" Dominick greeted her with a wide smile, hugging his daughter-in-law.

Klein replied to her and also with his smile. Dominick let Klein go, this young man in front of him was three centimeters taller than him and also more sturdy.

"Thank you for the welcome, Your Majesty" Klein said.

"Of course, you will always be welcome here because this is your home" Dominick replied.

Klein moved his gaze to a witch behind Dominick.

"Heaven Mage, nice to see you again" she said to Aciel.

Aciel smiled faintly, he said nothing but bowed respectfully. Aciel dislikes this man, besides being sneaky, Klein can also be a threat to Arion. But, he must not show his dislike in front of all of them.

Klein's eyes cast aside the front porch of the palace, he searched for a person he had longed for all this time.

"You're looking for Yaena, huh?" ask Dominick, who knows Klein's eyes. "Just calm down, she-"

"Darling" Yaena's voice from the palace's entrance meant Dominick had to stop her speech. Klein smiled at his wife there.

Yaena walked slowly down the palace stairs made of concrete. Aciel who was on Yaena's path walked backwards to give her a path towards Klein.

Klein hugged his wife in front of everyone. "I miss you" Klein whispered.

"It's nice to hear it" Yaena replied, with a slight mischievous smile. Klein almost wanted to laugh at Yaena's reply. He touched Yaena's stomach, and she knelt in front of him.

"Dad here, you miss Dad, huh?" whispered into the stomach of Yaena who was pregnant with her future child.

"Of course she misses you think how lonely she's been all this time?" Yaena folded her hands on her chest while putting on a sullen face.

"He who misses why are you angry?" Klein put on a look of wonder.

Dominick mendehem, making these two couples both look towards him. They just realized they were witnessed by people there.

"Let's go in. We'll welcome you inside" Dominick said.

***

Klein's arrival today wasn't without any ordinary reason, they called out to him because Arion Whiteblood had deliberately infiltrated this palace. And also, because Arion's position as Rabadar Empire's main fugitive made Klein have to act.

With the sudden appearance of Arion, Dominick must carry out a new plan by returning Klein again to the palace.

At this time, they held a meeting attended by palace officials and also high-class soldiers owned by Rabadar Empire.

Dominick sat on his throne, watching his people from there. There was Klein who had been wearing the Prince's clothes, and then there was Aciel who was sitting opposite Klein while holding a staff with his right hand. Then, there was Reilo who was Klein's younger brother, he was sitting next to his older brother.

Not to forget, five royal councils were also present there, participating in discussing Arion.

"We've lost the opportunity to capture Whiteblood. He was like a ghost" Theo shook his head slowly.

"According to Prince Reilo, he also grew stronger. Arion was able to knock the Prince out of the building with one move" Robio said.

"One move?" klein whispered in a mocking tone. Reilo just stared flat at his brother.

"Yes, Whiteblood is getting stronger, and it's going to hurt us" Redmund said.

"Then, what should we plan?" ask Dominick.

Arion grew stronger and it was indeed very detrimental for the party who wanted to capture him. Not to mention the people who were willing to help him, Rabadar had to think twice before catching him.

"This kid can make you hesitate to hunt him down, it's quite troublesome as well" Klein propped up his head with his hands.

"The last whiteblood has attracted the attention of many people in this world, not a few who are willing to catch it. His blood is precious, I once read a book about that legendary clan" he continued, calmly.

Aciel narrowed his eyes at Klein. "What will he plan?"

"Have you ever thought he was here to meet his adoptive family?" klein asked, guessing.

Aciel's eyes widened, he glanced at Dominick who showed a startled reaction.

"I'm just guessing, it's my hunch that he's here to meet them. Is it possible he's on his way to his family's place?"

The deg!

"Geez, he's able to see where Arion's going. This can be bad if left!" the already anxious inner Aciel.

"How do you guess, Prince? Arion could have gone instead of the former royal family" Aciel tried to make everyone doubtful.

"You have a point, Heaven Mage. He could have gone to different places and done what he wanted to do" Klein nodded slowly. "But the question is, why is he here? Who has he met? Isn't that certain, he was trying to find out about the whereabouts of Hanza and the others?" Klein smiled obliquely.

Aciel frowned. He had already guessed that this man could go against his words.

"He went in and out quickly. Find out where they are and maybe he's going there right now and asking for their help"

"Hmph, what kind of help do you mean?" ask Aciel.

"Okay, help with help like that"

Dominick understood Klein's intentions. "He's looking for Daendra"

Klein grinned. "It could be, Your Majesty"

"Do you know that?!" Aciel said inwardly, he looked at Klein in disbelief.

Dominick got up from his seat and immediately ordered to prepare an army. He asked Klein and Reilo to take part in this pursuit.

"Go to Athiesh Kingdom! Find him and don't let him meet Daendra!"

Klein stepped quickly in the corridor, suddenly Aciel emerged from the turn and almost hit Klein.

"You seem to" said Aciel, slightly raising his head up.

"Aren't you gone?" aciel asked, puzzled by Klein who should have left with Reilo and the others.

"I don't need to go with the others, after all I can catch up with them quickly" Klein replied lightly.

Klein stepped beside Aciel while patting the witch's shoulder.

"It looks like your plan failed miserably, huh, Heaven Mage"

Aciel frowned, he turned to Klein who was beside him.

"What do you mean?"

Klein felt amused, he grinned then let out a short sigh. "Don't pretend to me, Heaven Mage, you can't lie in front of me. You're trying to shake the existence of your old friend"

Klein had known from the beginning apparently, he had realized that Aciel was still on Arion's side, but it was no big deal for him. To him, Aciel was nothing but a subordinate of Rabadar Empire.

"Let me tell you, Heaven Mage, Whiteblood I will definitely catch it with my own hands. No matter how hard you try to defend her, she must be in my hands" Klein raised his palm in the air and clenched it tightly.

"I'll try not to tell people about siding with you to the fugitive. So, you don't try to do the no-no, if you do, I'll make sure you're sorry"

After Klein threatened her, he patted her on the shoulder three times and left. Aciel clasped his staff tightly. Realizing that his movements are limited, he can only hope that Arion can take care of himself.
