He returned in the morning, a failure and tired. The very fact that he returned told his father that he was unsuccessful. Punishment was usually a whipping, but instead, You-ou decided to make the mission harder. Kurogane would have to sneak into the palace and kill Fai by hand and bring the body back. If he failed, then he was not to return to the kingdom at all. Exiled. Not that Kurogane would want to show his face there ever again if he did fail. His pride as a warrior would be too wounded to bear the crown at that point. A man far stronger than he would take his place. This time he would not fail. This time Fai would be asleep and not put on another display for him.

Or so he thought.

However, even when the Prince wasn’t trying, the very sight of the sound sleeping body that Kurogane now hovered over was a sight to behold. Kurogane had to drink it all in. He would be the first outsider to be this close to an Indegri Prince. Despite himself, Kurogane found him attractive. Fai was prettier than most of the Amazonian like women of his kind. Fragile. Sweet. It would be a shame to waste such beauty but…things had to be done. However Kurogane would admit that Fai had not wronged him in any way. Though a brutal warrior, there were honor codes to keep so he leaned forward and kissed the soft head. “Forgive me. For you have done no wrong. I am only obeying orders of my father.” He spoke softly as he pulled out his dagger.

“We are all servants of our father here.”

Kurogane pulled away to see blue eyes glowing. Literally glowing. Just what was this Prince? “W-what?”

“We meet again, Prince Kurogane. Judging by the fact that I’m still breathing means you enjoyed my little display the other night?” That damn smile was on his face. Kurogane could feel it.

He sputtered, “Ah! W-wait…you…damn…fuck you…how did you?” He growled before grabbing the Prince by the collar of his night gown and slamming him against the wall. “Just what the hell are you?! How did you know I was there?! I was miles away from here! And why the fuck are your eyes glowing?”

Still the same smile, even with a dagger to his throat. “I am a Borealin. You know we are a very secretive race, right? We hold many secrets. Now. Dear Now Exiled Prince of Okalus. Would you care to hear some?”

“Exiled?” Kurogane hesitated before regaining his strength and growled. “Fuck you! I ain’t exiled yet! I can still kill you!”

“Mmm…you can~ However there are guards outside my door. So I suggest you keep it down. Or you can continue being loud and they can catch you.”

“Tch. Your kind wouldn’t harm a fly. What would they do if they caught me?” The warrior scoffed, not believing that such peaceful people would punish him through execution.

“Hmm…for attempting to assassinate the Prince? Let’s see. All that pretty black hair would be shaved off.” Fai purred, running those long, smooth and pampered fingers through the natural spikes, causing Kurogane to shiver without realizing it, though Fai took notice. “And…well…” He chuckled. “Do you know how our secrets are kept?”

“You kill people like me?” He thought the worst. He couldn’t be the first foreigner to attempt an attack on the royal family…but his thoughts were cut off with a chuckle.

“Nonsense. We don’t kill. It’s against our very nature. No people like you are brainwashed and are set to serve as missionaries to seek out more followers. However since attacking the only heir to the throne, well they just might make you my personal slave. I might just call out so I can do just that. You’re pretty cute. And I think taking in the once mighty warrior Okalus Prince as a slave to the peaceful, loving Indegri Prince would be a far better punishment than simple brain washing.” That smile was now an evil smirk.

“You wouldn’t…!”

Fai wailed out. “Help! An assassin has come to kill me! Guards! Guards!”

The doors burst open. Two priests with staffs sprinted in and looked around, only to find that Fai had captured Kurogane with the weird glowing stuff that he had used to spell out his name in his last ‘visit’. “Oh my. A little late. But no worries. I caught him.” He giggled as the guards sighed.

“Really your highness? Don’t scare us like that.” One of the men scolded lightly, taking Kurogane from the blond. They started to head out before Fai stopped them.

“Oh. Before you send him to judgment, please tell my father that I would like to participate in determining his punishment.” He said with a soft smile and the guards nodded. Thankfully, Fai’s father agreed and the blond put on his robes and hurried down to court. A small atrium in the temple with seating for an audience of maybe fifty or so around three of the four walls was where Judgment took place. This was similar to Supreme Court, where only the most severe cases were held. In the center, a block where the accused stood, shackled to what appeared to be a large tree, trunk curved and twisted up into the ceiling where the branches spread out. It looked burnt. Dead. Yet it seemed to still breathe life. In front of Kurogane was an obnoxiously large phoenix statue, rising up with its wings stretched out. Engraved into its belly was a throne where the High Priest sat. The king. An elder man, but still looking rather young, despite a wrinkle or two. He had long white hair and was practically swimming in those robes. For this case, all fifty of those seats were filled. And the last to enter, standing at his father’s side, was that bastard of a Prince who tattled on him.

“This is an honor. Truly.” The King finally spoke in a superior tone as Kurogane snarled and struggled against the chains. “Not only for me, but for you as well, Prince Kurogane. Seldom few get to see the inside of the Judgment chamber. And to have an Okal, the Prince of the Okals, in my domain is truly an honor. As the King of Indegri, it is against my nature to wish misfortune upon any, but I am glad that I’m finally given a chance to show you the ways of my people.”

“Bite me!” Kurogane barked. There was a sudden murmur amongst the crowd.

“Temper temper young Prince. We are not like your kind. Even the worst violators are never killed or harmed. “ This is what Kurogane hated. He’d rather be sentenced to death than to spread the word of whatever bullshit they were trying to believe in. “My son tells me that this is not your first attempt at his life. However, instead of actually killing him the first time, you enjoyed a voyeuristic display of him changing out of his robes.”

Ruby red eyes shot to the blue and they narrowed as Fai smiled at him. In the background there was furious rage amongst the audience. No doubt elder priests of some sort trying to cling on to better days and more classical traditions.

“Normally, such a person would not even get the privilege of being a missionary, but would be stuck writing scriptures till the end of their days. However, my son has come up with a proposal that you may be interested in and I as well. We have agreed that you shall be his personal servant for one year. In this time, he will take it upon himself to teach you our ways. If you are ‘tamed’ at the least, then after one year you are free to do whatever you desire. If you are ‘converted’, then you are also free but have the choice in continuing the path of the devout and becoming a priest. If you remain who are now, then we will go with the first option and force you into writing scriptures.”

Kurogane’s eyes widened and he looked at Fai. That sonuvabitch. Serve? Him? Fuck no. But then again…anything was better than getting brainwashed and writing for the rest of his life. “Fine.” Not like he had a choice anyways. And he wasn’t going to make this easy for the Prince. He was going to make that man’s life a living hell.
