Chapter 101 - Four Beautiful Boys (1/2)

The latest device the VinDev laboratories had been developing was a piece of technology that hadn't seen the light of the day yet. It was a top-secret invention and after testing its effects, they reached the conclusion that they won't make it public. It was so terrific.

Only the council of shareholders knew about its existence, all of the workers related to the manufacturing and even the magicians that tested the device had their memories erased. No one knew about its existence only the council.​​

That is why, it came as a surprise that such a thing had been stolen, and not a trace of the culprit was seen. It must be someone with extreme skill to do that, even more, someone who knew the exact time and place to make the heist.

”What should we do, Vin? Should we call the others?”

Kira was worried and was pacing around the room as her 'fake' husband was trying to repair the machine to call Princess Anne again. She knew the consequences of letting such a device out there in the world. It would be disastrous.

”No,” Vin said after hitting the machine for the nth time. It hadn't worked and he had grown desperate. ”We can't involve more people for the time being. There is a possibility that a traitor is among us…”

Kira gasped, ”how is that…?” she couldn't think of anyone from the council that could do that.

”Or…” Vin narrowed his eyes.

”Or?”

”That person was deceived and used,” Vin fisted his hand and sent another hit to the machine successfully breaking it. ”Dammit!”

All of his life was guided by a principle, never betray or deceive his friends and comrades. Loyalty at every cost.

However, this time someone had tested that principle and had tried to make him believe that some of his close people betrayed him. He wasn't someone to be deceived that easily but he couldn't talk for the others. They were more naive than they believe, especially that idiot Wizard Druon… or maybe not.

”What should we do then, dear?”

”Let's call for the black troops,” Vin said and Kira gasped.

”They are… are you sure?”

”There is no other way, they had trained for this,” he said as he pressed a number in his MINI. ”Even if the device had to be made public, we can't let innocent people be harmed because of it.”

The black troops were not ordinary soldiers, nor they were the usual kind of knights that worked with swords and held a moral code. They were a secret army under the orders of three persons, and only those three can give them orders, the Princess, Vin, and the King of Lith. No one else.

And only to them, this secret group with black masks and black coats responded.

”We should investigate on our side, there is no way that the one who was that powerful to break every defense of my barrier enchantment should not be known,” Vin was not that worried about the device. He had confidence in the Princess and the black troop to get it back.

Even more, if they reached to point of destructing it, he just could make it over again. Also, the instructions on how to use it were only in his head and the Princess, it was not that easy to put it in operation. So they still have time before the one who stole it figured out how to use it.

However, the real deal was that the thief was powerful enough to pass without being detected. If he could do it once, there could be a next time.

”Let's go flash the signal too.”

”But… that will alert everyone.”

”We must tell the other council members too and if we do this, then they know that this is an emergency, we must act now.”

Vin offered his hand as always to his beautiful wife and they both got up the stairs to the roof. There they will show the signal in the form of a lantern reflecting a little crown to the night sky.

”This should do for now,” Vin said with a sigh, ”At least right now, we know they are alerted.”

”How much should we wait, my dear?” Kira said with a sigh.

Vin smiled and giggled a bit. ”My sweetheart,” he took her hands and kissed the back with amazing tenderness. ”This will be a long night.”

Kira was enchanted again by his soft words and gentle eyes, then she nodded, not minding her burning face. She hoped that the fake marriage would never end.

Meanwhile, on the dancefloor of the Spring Dance, the many young boys and girls in couples were having a happy moment. After the first waltz and the elegant moves they were taught in their countries and the school intensive training weekends.

”Kya!!!”

”They are so handsome!”

”I love it!”

The girls jumped to the front of the stage when a group of boys with amazing voices and great moves took them by surprise.

”How can those girls be so crazy about those…”

”Yeah, those…”

”What are they?”

”A group of singers, right?”
