Chapter 4 - The Missing Girl and The Missing People

"Yen Heaven Manor is not a low-class area! Don't let them underestimate our power!" In front of his soldiers, Barbara yelled aggressively "Bring them down until we got them!" Barbara is the Queen of Yen Heaven Manor, they are so-called the rotten people.

One hundred years ago, the Yen Heaven Manor is the most respected person among the four manors. Queen Barbara is the one who ruled the city until she got married to a low-class man and she received hateful criticism towards her husband. After days passed, the rumour spread about Barbara killed her husband. After the unfortunate tragedy, the Yen Heaven Manor begins to tumble.

"Yes our Queen!" the troops exited the gate in a march."Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!" The Queen collapsed as she fell on her royal chair, the disbelief and felt fear once more. "Everything will be fine" she stated to herself as she tried to calm down.

When the Black Heaven soldiers saw Samwell arrive, they bowed "Young Master, Young Master! We lost her! She escaped" Samwell was about to execute the soldier for failing to do their duty when David interfered."What the fuck are you doing?" David asked him but he shoved his hand away "How dare you get in the way of my business! they failed to capture her again!" Samwell angrily said that makes David feel angry too. He found the situation unfair, they failed but it is not worth killing.

"Our life is precious, don't you think because you are the young master, you can easily kill people. Give them a chance!" David jumped off the horse and walked away inside the Yen Heaven Manor. Samwell gave them a chance as David wanted "Go find her!" Samwell went down on the horse to find David inside

"Did he just enter the Manor without a permit?!" Samwell got panicked when David enters the Manor without a permit. "Young Master, the people in Yen Manor are gone even the soldiers and watcher.

"What exactly happened here?" He said as he walk inside the Manor to find David. As he entered the Manor, he noticed that the houses are entirely destroyed by the fire. The village was quiet only the step of his foot is making a sound. The war he expected was actually quiet after, the place seems a little bit odd, he expected a terrible war, and many injured people inside. He nearly forgot David, who isn't actually inside, while he was exploring. "William!" He shouted while the sound lingered in his ears, it is completely quiet and his voice is echoing.

"Where are the people of Yen Heaven Manor?" He asked himself, his voice carries a troubled tone.

"William!" he shouted again but he did not receive a sound coming from David. He immediately went outside where the two soldiers are there waiting for him.

"Have you noticed a guy earlier, did he come back?" He asked the two soldiers, they bowed again as they feel sorry "No, Young Master" He immediately ride the horse to enter the Manor again "Don't wait for me" he said and he started to run the horse as he entered the Manor.

After a long minute, he arrived in the central area, where there is a lovely, spacious garden and an antique town. When he came, he thought that people were retreating, but instead, he found nothing; the place is quiet and empty.

After walking every corner of the streets, Samwell saw David facing the woman who was on the ground "William!" Samwell called him, David faced him where he was with worry.

"Samwell, there's an injured woman here" David was about to walk towards him when the girl moved her hand to grab David's head "William!" too late, the woman held a knife around his neck. Samwell retrieved the blade from underneath his robe and flung it, striking the woman's arm.

"Agh!!" a perfect strike of Wen Xinhua

"Let me go! Samwell help!" Samwell pulled out the knife once again to strike the lady after David yelled in fear but could scarcely figure out its face. Samwell took a careful look at the woman. "He-in?!!" Samwell was astonished as he clearly noticed the woman's face. He finally noticed her face as she turned around and faced him.

"He-in what are you doing? let him go!" the woman let go of David and he quickly ran into him "Samwell! I thought she was injured that's why I approached her" Samwell checked his neck, and he felt relieved he found nothing "You're okay right?" David quickly nodded "I'm fine, I'm okay"

Samwell turned his face to the girl "What are you doing?" Samwell said as he walked closer to her, David could see the girl's bare face once she removed her hood; she was stunning and had white skin.

"What are you to him?" the girl asked coldly and her eyes were cold as ice "Your boyfriend?" Samwell was shocked as he heard her "That's bullshit!"

"I'm kidding" the girl giggled and laughed as she found his reaction funny, from a cold girl, turned into a lovely girl "Wen!" the girl hugged him tightly and smacked his back "I missed you, It's been a while" she happily said.

"What are you doing here, you almost hurt William, don't ever lay your hand on him, ever!" Samwell with a serious tone of his voice. "Woah chill, young master, I'm not going to take your boyfriend! you even hit my arm!"

"Who said he's my boyfriend?"

"Bec–" Samwell cut her "Why are you here" Samwell came to his senses, and He-in took on a serious expression "I'm running for a boy and I thought this kid Wellyam you brought was him"

"William, not Well-yam. He's innocent, he's with me all day long" Samwell paused and faced David was now standing and dozing off on his back with a gentle snore. "Why did this guy torture me…" Samwell murmured, he lifted him up and now David was carried on Samwell's back.

"What's with the boy you are chasing?" Samwell asked her" I don't know, but I had a suspicion that he had murdered the second consort to the Queen, King Acts. Then, I saw him running away wearing a white robe the same as that boy wearing, and why are you here in the midst of the war?"

"I lost the girl, she's the missing girl who created the magic in Flower Heaven Manor, I don't believe in magic. Nonetheless, it appears like the boy you're chasing and the girl I'm after are on the same side, and I believe that they are involved in the current situation here, the death of the King, and the war between Yen Heaven Manor and Flower Manor" Samwell explained.

"Magic, Magic, Magic" He-in walked around and pointed at the boy at his back "That boy William, where did you meet him?" The atmosphere went silent, and then David started to snore.

"I met him at the North-East boundary of Black Heaven Manor, he must— shit! He must have come from the Flower Heaven Manor?!" David spoke differently from the Flower Heaven Manor, so Samwell did not consider him suspicious. "He lost his memory, but he spoke English, I assumed he was someone who lives somewhere outside"

"We have to go to the Flower Heaven Manor" He-in was about to leave when Samwell stopped him "I didn't wear royal garments, so we can't go there." He-in released a heavy breath, "What are we going to do now?"

"Let's find her, she is still in the West-North, did you bring your horse? You can't share with us" He is referring to David, who is soundly dozing behind him. "I never leave my baby; I always have it with me." She was speaking of her white horse. They immediately left the Yen Heaven Manor, the moon will rise in an hour and it is getting dark.

The dark has arrived, and they are on the way back to Black Heaven Manor riding their own horses. Their skins are whipped by the wind as the grasshoppers sing, when suddenly David starts murmuring "She killed my lover, she just *^&$$%$%&*" Samwell and He-in were confused by what David stated after hearing it when he remained asleep.

He-in open a conversation with Samwell "Why did you let him call you Samwell, you didn't even let me call you that since you hate it, change of heart huh"Samwell ignored her and expressed confusion about why he had allowed David to call him Samwell rather than Xinhua. "Stop talking, I'm tired"

"Hmm okay, if you say so"

"Agh!" David groaned as He-in and Samwell both turned to look at him as he continued to ride the horse in the back. "Seems like you had a bad dream" He-in said while laughing

"I killed myself, I… I saw a girl wearing a thick jacket with a syringe in her hand. It looks like it is" David cried in terror and remarked, "I don't know why it showed up in my dream."

"Syringe? What the fuck is that?" He-in swore without being mindful of her own words

"You don't know that? I don't know too" Samwell and He-in rolled their eyes as they released their deep breaths "Where the hell you came from? Killing yourself is impossible since you even valued other people's life." Samwell replied, in the other hand, He-in heard growling in their surrounding.

"Shh, stop talking" Samwell must notice the sound too, David was confused as he speak "What happened?"

"Stop, I heard something at the near west" Samwell went down to check out the sounds. "Stay still" he walked slowly towards the near west but he found nothing

"Agh!!!!" Samwell took the bow and arrow on his back, striking the huge fox with the arrow as it struck its head. David screamed in anguish when the huge fox bit his leg. "Wen, there's more in the North and East!" He-in said, she pulled out her crossbow, let go of the rope, and instantly tossed it against a tree so that she could climb it while Samwell hit the big foxes in just one shot "Hang on!"

In a northerly direction, He-in struck the foxes. "Wen, clear!" She landed on the ground and was about to take David away suddenly her arm hurt and started to bleed a lot, she forgot that Samwell had struck her arm. "shit!" she swore, "this fucking asshole really hit my arm"

Samwell eliminated the foxes in the East and rushed straight to David, who was sobbing and had a serious wound. He was strangled by the teeth of the big fox. "This is fucking insane" David yelled out in pain. Samwell smelled the huge fox's saliva that had been left on his wound; it wasn't hazardous, but it needed to be removed since the blood was getting deeper and darker. "Hold on" Samwell took the thin fabric on David's forehead and he tied it around his leg and he tied it tightly. David groaned due to the tightness of the leash but He-in stopped him.

"Stop!, don't do that, his wounds…." He-in stared at his wound that is now healed "His wound is already healed" Samwell was shocked by what he saw "This can't be!"

"The huge foxes are made in magic. The fox who bit him was only a figment of his imagination, a hallucination created with magic, thus it heals itself. We can only experience pain for a brief period, depending on the moment and duration of the magic. We eliminated the foxes, therefore the pain and injuries they caused are also gone, the missing girl and missing boy were definitely connected to this because we were looking for them." He-in explained while holding her right arm, it was bleeding a lot, and David noticed it.

"He-in, your wound is bleeding so much"

"No, I'm fine, the right in front of you should apologize, that asshole" He-in rolled her eyes and went back to her horse.

"About the war," Samwell said, "About the war, the Queen of Yen Heaven Manor must already order her men to bring down the Flower Heaven Manor, we better check the Flower Heaven Manor as much as possible. He-in you must better go back and heal your wound. William and I will go back to my place"

"Bring me there! I want to go with you, I badly want to seduce your older brother!" He-in received a rough smack on her head

"Ouch"
