Kris was sitting in his office, looking over documents and reports that had been submitted to him about the state of affairs in exo-l. The latest reports were about some T.O.P. guy who had tried to cause trouble in his kingdom. Obviously, he had found out about it and had already sent his men to stop him. Problem was that Kris knew that T.O.P. guy and he couldn't figure out why he would do something so rash. He was loyal!

He had already met T.O.P. and needless to say, the latter was surprised. What he had to tell Kris next did not please him at all. So, he expected, no awaited the disturbance he heard next. He was ready for the person who burst into the room a few moments later. He slowly looked up from his reports to glare at Suho....and the glare was returned.

Suho was riding silently for the most part, fighting his inner demons, when as they were getting closer to the east castle one of their forerunners came back.

"My king! We found someone and you should probably see them."

Suho and the group rode faster in the direction pointed when they came upon someone Suho didn't expect. "Rise?"

"Your majesty!" Rise bowed to Suho whose utter confusion must have been evident because she chuckled kindly when she saw his face. "How have you been?"

"How?.... How have been? Is that... Is that all you can say? After disappearing? With no information.... Kris! Kris is around. He is the one in the eastern castle isn't he? So what is this? Is he finally ready to see me? Is that why he left signs for my people to pick up?" Suho was fuming, losing his composure until Sohee put her arm on his shoulder to calm him down.

"Spare Rise. You are misdirecting your anger."

Suho looked down at Rise, who continued to look kindly at him, with sad eyes.

"I am sorry." Suho apologised before turning to his group. "We are riding to the eastern castle full speed. Rise do you need a ride back?"

"Thank you sire, but I want to walk." She said sadly. Suho knew why she wanted to walk. She was extremely kind hearted and could not stand setting her kings fight. But too bad because he had an earful ready for Kris.

They rode into the castle and it seemed that everyone was waiting for them. He asked for directions to kris's office, and walked towards it full speed, first clenched. 

Next moment he burst open the doors, not waiting to be announced. His blood boiled at the sight of Kris sitting on his desk, with the orange glow of sun illuminating him from being him through the floor to ceiling windows. His blood boiled at the sight of the beautiful creature who abandoned him
