Lord Eiji sit on a pad in his study room where is the opening windows to see the view outside. He tries to clear many urgent documents that the court sent him on the yesterday in.
In the noon of the end of winter, a visitor stood patiently outside at the western gate for a while when the guards scanning check him before let him in the area.
A lord's assistant informed his master that Lord Eiji's friend name Kyojin has been waiting for him at the guest's welcome room. A middle aged lord walked to the end of the hallway to see his surprising visitor who has not see for long time since the big land attacked him.
"Nice to see you, Kyojin"
"Nice to see you too, Eiji"
"What should I do for you?"
"Should I have a concern to see you, Eji?"
"No, my friend"
"I come here because I had not seen you for a long time."
"Sound sweet"
"What happened to you, my friend? You looked try and too old."
"No, I'm fine."
"Hn? But I heard that you have a problem with the big land demon. What is his name? Mmm, let I guess that he is Cheng Po Long, right?"
"You are always smart and I cannot hide it from you. Yes he is my enemy and he wants my land and the northern land."
"Does the north lord know his aim?"
"Yes and we are alliance but not strong enough to against the dragon. He is the great demon that I ever fought. Unfortunately that he did not kill me and looked like he had a problem so he went back even though the fight doesn't end up."
"I guess that you don't trust him much."
"Yes. He might challenge me on one day."
"What can I do for you even if I'm not a lord?"
"No and thank you, Kyojin. You are a good friend but this is my dilemma."
"How rude"
"Hn?"
"I'm your friend and what's the problem if I want to help you."
"Kyojin, but I…"
"Even if I'm not a powerful demon but I knew one can help you defeat that dragon."
"No Kyojin. This is my land and my obstacle. I don't want your help."
"It's that so. Alright, I know that I annoy you. So I should go now. See you, my friend."
"Kyojin, I'm sorry."
"Never mind and it didn't happen. Please call me if you need my help."
"Thanks"
Lord Eiji knew his friend worry about him but this is his problem and he cannot push Kyojin to the trouble. What he should do if Cheng Po Long takes the land and the people from him. His land might on fire if he falls to the Amber Dragon of Huang Shan.
