Somewhere in Shem.


    A man was walking around the street. He looked very simple. He fit into the crowd perfectly and did not raise any suspicion.


    It was already evening and a few people were already gathering in the famous inn in Sham. It was known to be where most of the high-ranking officials gathered in the evening. If one wants to get information this was a place where gossip goes around.


    The man who was introduced as Dark previously looked for the best chair in the corner to have his sit.


    He arrived earlier so a lot of the tables were still free. A pretty lady was the one who came to take his other. Attendants in a place like this also get to hear lots of information.


    "How about you accompany tonight instead," Dark said in a flirting tone. The young lady blushed when she heard him speak to her. It was a known fact that she was beautiful and most of the men tried to get along with her.


    "say, how much are you willing to pay,?" the girl asked with a beautiful smile. She was usually selective of the men she hang around with.


    She was going along with this man because he looked handsome and she was sure he was not from Shem. The crown prince of Avalo has been there for some time so it was expected to see strangers.


    "Here," the man said dropping a small bag that contains gold coins. When the lady say that the money was much, she immediately sat down on his lap and took the money.


    "At your service," she said with a warm smile. Another lady saw the amount of coin he had dropped and she decided to walk over to him. If he was a rich man then she would be sure to make a lot of money working for him.


    " Do you need more company? " she asked as she blinked her lashes seductively.


    "sure," Dark did not refuse her. He was trying to keep a low profile at the corner. As long as women were surrounding him, no one will suspect him.


    "Another attendant came forward. He was happy to serve the Stanger since he seems to be having a lot of coins." what would you like?" He asked In a very respective voice.


    Dark shook his head and allowed the ladies to make the order At the other corner two men were paying close attention to him. "what do you think he is up to?" the first man asked his companion.


    "He is trying to blend in and get information," the other man said. His gaze was fixed on his drink but his attention was on the table opposite them. The first man nodded his head in understanding.


    More people walk in and order whatever they want. The place was lively with a lot of We on flirting around the men.


    "I heard the cursed prince went to Bozao, do you think he is trying to gather forces against his bother," one man asked his friend.


    " What nonsense are you saying? He does not need to gather any force. His wife is from Bozao. Maybe he went over looking for her," the friend answered.


    "if you ask me, I do not think our king needs to remain loyal to Avalo. Since prince Craig has dared to push out his brother, this will be the right time to strike and destroy Avalo" the man said.


    "That''s right, Avalo will fall easily with the strive between the two brothers. It should not be that difficult," His friend agreed.


    "Reduce your voice, that curse prince is not stupid, his mother is still within the four kingdoms. Do you know what will become of our kingdom if the man decides to attack," the third man on the table who has been quiet said.


    "What is there to be afraid of, I was close to the sixth prince of Avalo and he said the mother and son do not have a good relationship," the first man spoke up.


    "Even at that, you should not say things that you are not certain of. Did you not hear what happened in venums. The crown prince spread words that he was going to Pontus when he was in Venums. Who knows if he deliberately lead his men to Bozao when he was on his way to kill his brother? " the third man said.


    " Hmm, you have a point. He might still be within the four kingdoms but he is watching from the dark. That young man is scary, " the second man said.


    " Yes, he has shown us mercy once, I do not think he will be so kind the second time. It is best to stay out of his way, " the third man said.


    The first man was irritated by the way his friends spoke. They were indeed scared of the cursed prince like little children. " I did not know that you two were such cowards, " He said in irritation.


    The other men slammed their fists on the table causing some of the drinks to fall. "if you are so brave why not meet the king and offer to challenge the cursed prince," they said in annoyance. No man would fold his hands after being called a coward.


    The first man shook his head and got off the table angrily. "What is so special about him, if he was not using some secret powers will be so outstanding?" the man spat before leaving the place.


    Unknown to him two of prince Sébastien''s men were also present and they could not stand him insulting their prince.


    "I will deal with him, keep an eye on him," one of them whispered to his companion and left. After he walked out, the man still seated in the inn, saw Dark get up with the women in his arms. He walked into the inn to get a room.


    The man watched Dark from a safe distance. Dark got into the room and shut the door. Afraid of being discovered by Dark.. The man keeping watch paid a worker in the inn to inform him the minute dark got out of the room.
