Chapter Forty – His Siblings.
He searched every nook and cranny of the forest but only saw horse marks and an arrow, that Han said barely missed Margaret.
It had the ‘DDD’ inscription belonging to Dark Dragon Dynasty on it’s arrow head.
“How dare that scum come into my forest and attack my Luna!” Walt tried shaking off the rage building in his head.
He stretched his paws and made a zoom towards the border and back to the river within ten seconds.
“I dare the idiot to return” he barked to the trees and birds responded by flying away from him. The animals within scurried to their holes.
“Walt, I’m telling you, Chan must have told the King to leave. You won’t see them anymore. They’re long gone” Han whispered behind Walt.
He made sure to talk in whispers as the Wolf was already red with anger. And wouldn’t hesitate to tear him apart.
“You should have split his head” Walt scoffed before going back in, letting Scott take over his body.
Han averts his eyes from his nakedness, “Well, I wasn’t expecting him. And he was with Chan. Chan didn’t sell us and let us escape”.
He helped put his jacket over Scott while Scott wore some shorts he stashed around a tree.
“Alright then, I’d try to bring Chan back alive for his kind gesture. But your Prince friend, not promising”.
Han clenched his fists, “I don’t need such a friend. He nearly killed me and my sisters”. To think, he had helped him escape. The princess had kept her promise punish his sisters.
Scott headed into the cavern, “This reminds me of my promise. I’d be visiting the Blue Moon. We need to visit the Red Mountains soon”.

His horse trotted into it’s stable. Chan hissed as he came down, remembering the incidents of the day. The glare Han have him haunted him.
He never imagined to reunite with him in such a way, after three years. He was glad they weren’t after each others head at the moment.
He bowed to all the soldiers that passed as he headed to the castle. He was still obligated to bow to them as they were all older than he was.
Being the King’s right hand didn’t spare him from those unnecessary pleasantries. It didn’t save him from anything.
It did give him a room in the inner palace, the safest place in Dark Dynasty. But it also where the Queen and her pesky daughter lived.
“Chan Han! Wait for me, your princess commands it” Chan stopped on his way. He forced his body to disobey the command but it didn’t.
“Your highness. Han isn’t my surname. Not any longer” he didn’t deserve having Han as surname now. He broke their brotherhood oath.
“Whatever. Come, tell me about your journey to the forest. My brother is too grumpy to tell me?” she was literally pulling him towards her room while chattering.
If her brother thought she was rude, Chan thought she was talkative. But none ever told her that to her face. Anya was literally some god.
Princess Anya tried regulating my breathing before holding unto Chan’s face, “It better not. Or else, my mother hears it and take your head”.
Chan took no time in leaving her room, and the inner palace at once.
If he had to do something to keep his loved ones in peace, he’d have to do it quietly. Or anything else could jeopardize him too.
“Chan!” King Gerard called out to him just when he was about leaving through the gates.
“Chan, there’s a development. That you won’t like” King Gerard raised a flyer with a face. Chan read the name and sent a glare to the King.
“You are putting a bounty of Margaret. Don’t you want her for something!” he dragged the flyer from his hand.
Gerard was taken aback by Chan’s outburst but he expected nothing less. If it was his sister that was being priced, he’d lose his cool. He just didn’t know what his mother was thinking.
“I'm sorry, My King” Chan apologized after the King went quiet. He should really control himself before he get killed before fulfilling his course.
“I don’t want this either. We can’t get into the forest but a bounty hunter can. I promise if she’s here, she won’t be killed” he drew the boy to a hug. It would be hard for him.
Chan felt no warmth in him anymore. And his promises, empty. He gave a fake smile to show he's going to be okay, but he was far from that.
