"Generals, I'll leave everything else up to you all." Victor smiled as he grabbed a gun and a dagger, slipping it into the side of his pants.

"Your Highness, please be at ease. We will definitely complete your tasks." General Rykiel replied back as he nodded towards Victor.

"Mark, you ready?" Victor asked as he looked to his side.

Mark was grabbing a uniform and putting it on. Currently, they had just located some soldiers sent out from the palace. Victor had knocked out two soldiers before taking off their uniforms. Now, they were already dressed up in the blue uniforms with their identities attached onto them to show who they were.

The two soldiers, who had been stripped of their clothing, were held within General Noe and General Miende's arms.

"Yes," Mark said as he quickly buttoned up the buttons on his shirt. Dressed in blue, the cold glare from his eyes seemed to pop even more. Mark turned to look at Victor, quickly spending a quick minute to admire his figure.

Victor could feel Mark's eyes linger on him and he couldn't help but feel delighted. "Then, it seems that we will have to set out now. Thank you for everything, I'll make sure to send news as soon as I can. Please tell my Father not to worry about anything, and please don't worry about my well-being. General Mark will be enough to protect me." Feeling a little mischievous, Victor couldn't help but wink towards Mark.

"Then, good luck to you, Your Highness and General Mark." General Noe sent them off with a farewell and encouragement.

Victor looked at the two horses in front of him. Although this world was more modernized with the technologies and such, horses were still used as transportation among soldiers of the castle. Well, it made sense since there weren't that many roads built in Y Nation either.

Victor mounted himself atop a horse as Mark also got on one. Then, they set off towards the heart of Y Nation, the capital, Aniline.

Victor came to a stop as he stood before the gates that lead to the castle of Y Nation. Mark, from behind him, got off the horse as two guards came towards them.

"Cards."

Victor hand them his and Mark's card. Taking a quick peek towards Mark, he gave him a silent warning.

The guard looked at their cards for a second before letting them in. "You may go. Leave the horses, another guard will come to pick them up."

Victor let go of the horse and walked inside. The castle was certainly big, much bigger than the one Allen and Rain lived in. But, no matter how big it was, Y Nation's citizens were starving themselves to death. All the money went towards this castle.

Away from earshot, Mark was finally able to talk to Victor without having to worry. "It seems that this is the reason why so many citizens were wanting to revolt." Mark couldn't help but shake his head.

He had been to Allen and Rain's castle too many times. Their castle wasn't outrageously big, but Mark had always thought it was still befitting of their status. Now, looking at this enormous house that stood before him, he was a bit shock. The difference was that A Nation distributed a big amount of money towards public charities and event, while Y Nation used almost all of their money to build this castle.

Victor also couldn't help but shake his head. "We need to find a way to meet one of the princes of Y Nation. There should be two princes currently within the castle. The oldest is Prince Nile at age 18, and the youngest is Prince Will at age 10 years old. Once we find one of them, our goal is to slowly get acquainted with them. Then, if we get their trust, we will reveal our identities and help them devise a plan to take over the throne. Our safest bet is Prince Nile because he is the oldest and also the one that citizens praise most."

Mark walked beside Victor as he asked, "So get close with one of the princes then think of a way to get Prince Nile on the throne?"

Victor replied as they passed by a garden of flowers. "Once we finally get Prince Nile on our side, we can then slowly take out the people of N Nation that have gotten themselves into this castle. I won't be surprised if the king of Y Nation has already been assassinated secretly."

"Alright then, Victor. I understand my role. It will be easier if I get acquainted with Prince Nile. This way, I can also find out about who is the one controlling Y Nation. It will be safer if you meet with Prince Will." Mark couldn't help but make a slight joke even in their positions. If there was one thing he knew, being too tense might give away his cover.

Victor widened his eyes slightly, "Are you saying that I act like a child?" Turning his eyes to Mark, his face held a grin even as he questioned him.

"Kinda," Mark liked how there wasn't a wall that seemed to separate them. It made him feel closer to Victor.

"Well, you're not wrong." Victor said as he slightly rolled his eyes in a joking matter. "But anyway, Nile and Will are said to be close brothers, born from the same mother. The king of Y Nation has a wife and two consorts, all in total, he had five children. His wife is a beta, Queen Talin, and she is the mother of Louis and Will who are both alphas. The first consort is an omega male, his name is Consort Lani and he is the father of Princess Selene, an alpha at the age of 15. The last consort is a beta woman named Consort Esme, the mother of Princess Kalaya, a beta who's 13, and Princess Lia, an omega who is 8, the youngest of the royal family."

Mark took a second to process all that information. "The king of Y Nation has two consorts too? I thought it was a law that the royal families in all nations could only have one spouse, no side consorts?" Saying this, Mark lowered his voice as a guard walked pass them and slightly leaned into Victor's ears.

Victor could feel Mark's breath hit his ear, his voice suddenly beside his ear and Victor had to fight against the urge to move away. He fought the blush that wanted to appear on his face. "It was a law before but now that the government has collapsed with the fall of their president, most nations have begun their own laws. Although A Nation doesn't follow the governing of the government anymore, there is still a law that the king must have only one spouse and no consorts. Y Nation probably changed that law."

Mark could see a very light blush upon Victor's ears and he couldn't help but feel amused. Upon his frozen exterior, a twinge of amusement sparkled from his eyes.

As they walked inside a garden, the voices of a few people could be heard. Immediately, both their body tensed up as they hid behind a wall and listened in on the conversation.

"You! How dare you do this to the Prince?! Princess Lia, know your status! You are the daughter of a consort, who had gotten her position from seducing our king. What gives you the right to touch the prince, born from the Queen, the rightful wife of the king?" A woman's voice could be heard, panic and anger arising from the tone.

"You stupid servant! I'm the princess, you are a mere maid. My mother is the most loved, not like that useless queen of yours. Plus, your so called prince is weaker than me, an omega! That gives me full right to control him however I want! Guards, snatch that boy for me." A voice so youthful, but her words were much deadlier and dangerous. Stubborn and bratty, she was spoiled.

Victor look at Mark, and came to an agreement right away. They were about to do something to Will, whose body has still not matured or become as strong as his brother, Nile.

Stepping out from their hiding place, they saw a lady hugging the body of a boy in her arms, and two guards walking towards them. Mark ran for the two guards right away, subduing them almost too easily. Victor walked towards the girl and Will.

"Are you alright, Your Highness?" Victor bowed first before he looked at Will's eyes. Dull and lifeless, they reminded Victor of his own before.

No response, as if he hadn't even heard Victor's question.

"You stupid guards! How dare you disobey my orders? Do you know who I am? I am Princess Lia, the daughter of Consort Esme. " Lia looked like a beautiful doll, but her heart was too evil. Her expression was twisted, her eyes filled with anger.

Victor couldn't deal with the bratty Lia. When he looked at Will and saw such lifeless eyes, his heart screamed out in pain too. Standing up, his eyes filled with fury, he looked at the little girl. "Princess Lia, is it? Isn't your mother the woman who had used her body to seduce the king? I heard that before she became a consort, she was a prostitute who sold her body to nobles. The citizens say that she is an evil woman with a black heart. It seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Crude words that shouldn't be said to a child of 8 years old, but it was clear that Lia was not a normal 8 year old.

Lia's face heated up, embarrassment and anger in her eyes. Screaming, she ran away, her poor servant hurrying after her.

Mark looked at Victor and just like before, Mark saw the clear anger within his eyes and how the atmosphere had immediately shifted towards his favor. One step closer to determining why Victor went abroad, and it had to do with his pheromones.

"Wh-who are you?" A shaky voice reminded them that there were still some other people with them.

Victor and Mark turned to look at each other as Victor nodded. One step closer. Now they needed to be even more careful.
