"Wake up, Wake up you fool" Ashell's voice called in Kin's head. "Wake up"

Kin gradually opened his eyes and stared at his surroundings.

He tried to move but noticed he was in chains.

"Oh no, not again" Kin said.

"How long have I been out?" Kin asked

"Close to an hour." Ashell replied

"An hour? What exactly did they use to drug me?" Kin asked 

"I don't know, but, Whatever it was, it would have lasted longer if not for your curse" Ashell stated.

"Dammit, I can't believe I fell for a trap."

Kin thought back to before he passed out, he remembered seeing Hana smiled at him the moment before he closed his eyes.

"That crazy wolf girl.."

" Did they plan all this from the start?" Kin thought.

"This is what you get for trying to double cross someone, you just end up being double crossed yourself". Ashell said

"Well this was also your fault. After all the plan was yours". Kin replied.

"I didn't ask you to betray her, I just asked you to cause a distraction while she deals with the guards. Then you can sneak in Later, since the guards in the room had been dealt with, you would have no resistance."

"Well both our plans sucked." Kin retorted

"Let's just focus on where we are and how we will escape from this" Kin said.

"Well I've been trying to help you break free, but those chains aren't ordinary and your physical strength is not enough to break them". Ashell stated, the moment Kin was chained by those chains, she knew they were trouble.

"It will take longer before I can help you break free" Ashell added

"Sigh, this is bad. To believe I'll find myself in this unpleasant situation" Kin said.

As he was contemplating his next steps, five people came inside the room. He was familiar with three of them but the three others he never met before.

Majeed, Rashid's first son walked into the room with Hana, Meliesse and two men who stood close to the door while the other three drew closer to Kin.

"Hello Ashin, it seems you've found yourself in a bit of a pickle here".

"Lord Majeed, Kin said in surprise, or at least he Pretended to be surprised, what are you doing here?" Kin asked as his eyes fell on Hana and the woman he had met that night when he first encountered Hana. 'Still gives me the creeps' he thought

"Well, I was just passing by when I heard a sneaky rat had been caught in one of my father's warehouse. Oh you naughty boy, imagine how my father would feel when he finds out his favorite pet was trying to sneak into one of his prized secret tunnel and steal his treasure."

It wasn't news that Majeed was working against his father to Kin, but , Kin still found it weird that a son would betray his father, "Aren't they supposed to be family?"

'You know what, scratch that. Anyone can betray anyone. Even the closest of family members' Kin concluded.

"Lord Majeed.... It nice to see you too. Although this may seem like I'm trying to betray Lord Rashid, but I tell you it's not like that. In fact I can tell you there are traitors in that warehouse. They are the ones that need to be questioned, not me."

"Oh really? Well, sorry to disappoint you kid, but they work for me. Just like you, I'm also quite the traitor" Majeed replied

"Ahh damnit" Kin thought.

"Ashell, how much longer"

"This will take time, I suggest you get comfortable."

"I don't think I have much time."

"Do you know why you're still alive?" Majeed asked

"Because You don't like hurting kids" Kin replied.

"Kids? I've met alot of kids, but I can easily say, you're definitely not one of them." Majeed said amid chuckles

"You killed two guards on your first day, fought two child spies, and survived, encountered lady Meliesse and survived, you even succeeded in tricking her. You saved my sister from kidnappers and somehow, you are able to make duplicates of glaphnis cubes". Majeed said.

"Tell me, are you just lucky or is it all due to that curse of yours?" Majeed.

Kin would have been shocked, but he knew it was only a matter of time before his abilities were exposed, he was already able to keep it hidden for so long.

"What do you want from me?" Kin asked

"Well it not much really, first I need you to give me the glaphnis cubes you duplicated when you ran an errand from my father. I need to check out the other sites my father keeps his treasures hidden, and Second, I'm going to ask you this only once and I need a truthful answer from you".

"Who exactly are you?" Majeed asked

Kin's eyes scanned the room, his eyes fell on Hana whose gaze was still as cold and predatory as ever. Kin imagined a grown Hana and could not help but drool in his mind. 'She'll make a great addition to my Harem' kin thought.

He shifted his eyes to the woman at the corner, although she didn't look at Kin, he still felt her gaze upon him.

'Who the hell is she?' Kin thought.

As if she heard what he was saying in his mind, Meliesse suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Kin.

Immediately their gaze met, Kin was Mesmerized by her crimson eyes. They felt so beautiful, inviting and insidious and, and... 'Damn, what this feeling?" Kin thought as he felt shivers down his spine.

"Oh no.." Ashell's voice rang in Kin's head.

"KIN LOOK AWAY NOW!!" Ashell screamed at Kin

But it was already too late...
