"Okay then. Could you please tell me where the master magician is? Because he's close by and I have some important things to talk about with him." Quatre said and sighted.
"I'm terrible sorry but I have no idea of who you're talking about" Heero said, a bit uneasy. It was out of character fr him, but on the other hand, this wasn't really an usual situation.
A frown appeared in Quatres face and Duo had a quite bad feeling about it. He really wanted to tell every one that he was the master magician, but Heero had told him to stay out of the way, and Heero was still his master, and Duo wasn't about to break an order just like that.
"I seriously don't have the time for this... Just tell me where he is!" Quatre said. Duo could almost see his anger. At that moment Trowa stepped in.
"As our King has already told you, we have no idea of where the master magician is, and even then, he should be dead. He should have died in the war." Trowa said calmly. As those words left Trowas mouth Duo felt magic rise, and it didn't have any good intentions. Duos guess was that Quatre was about to attack. He had to do something. This place was totally unprotected against magic and even a low spell wold have a great effect. He tugged gently on Heeros sleeve.
"What is it?" Heero hissed back at him. Duo shied away at the angry voice.
"I'm sorry Master, I'd like permission to speak, please Master" Duo whispered and stared at his feet. Heero didn't look happy, but the magic was rising, and it was no doubt it was a high level spell the blond prepared for.
"What do you want to say, this is important!" Heero hissed at Duo. Duo shied away even more. He hated his own reaction, he hated being a slave. He pulled himself together within a second and stepped forward, catching Quatres attention.
"Please, Quatre-sama, do not attack this place, it's unprotected and has nothing to do with this, nether do these people. The one responsible is already dead... so please, stop your preparation for the Kíhssé spell." Duo said, looking Quatre straight in the eyes. Some of his royal aura returning.
Everyone seemed utterly surprised, and Quatre the most.
"How... how did you know?" He asked falling to his knees, shame filing his eyes.
Duo stepped forward to him and sat down beside him. He smiled sweetly.

Heero got a bit irritated when Duo tugged at his sleeve, hadn't he told him to stay out of everything??
"What is it?" He hissed, but soon beat himself over it. Why couldn't his voice stay calm as he had intended.
"I'm sorry Master, I'd like permission to speak, please Master" Duo had whispered and looked down at his feet, not daring to meet his eyes. Heero got even more angry. Hadn't he told Duo not to call him Master? Why did he act like Heero was some evil old guy about to hit him?
"What do you want to say, this is important!" He hissed, and once again beat himself over it, he hadn't meant to sound that angry! Why couldn't he have his emotions under control?
Duo surprised him and everyone else by stepping forward and locking eyes with Quatre.
Was this really Duo?? The one who had just shied away from a hiss?
"Please, Quatre-sama, do not attack this place, it's unprotected and has nothing to do with this, nether do these people. The one responsible is already dead... so please, stop your preparation for the Kíhssé spell." Duo said. There was a different aura around him at the moment, like he was a great ruler, someone you trusted your life with in a heartbeat.
Heero didn't know what Duo talked about. This place had the best guards the land could supply. And what was this spell about?
"How... how did you know?" Quatre said, shame shining in his eyes.
Heero didn't know what was going on, and he didn't like it. He didn't like it at all. He wasn't in control at the moment, and he hated to lose control.
Duo sat down beside the blond stranger, smiling.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. You should have better control over that anger... With the power of the Kíhssé comes a great responsibility... I'm sure my great great great and-so-on-father wouldn't like it to be used against mare unprotected humans." Duo said with a sweet smile.
He thought he answered quite cleverly, this way Quatre would instantly know who he was, but none of the others would, but at th moment it didn't really matter. What mattered now was Quatre, who had started to cry harshly.
As he would for anyone else in Quatres situation, Duo put his arms around the blond, offering his support. The Kíhssé was the spell of instant death, but it was quite hard to make it right, and if anything went wrong, no one knew what would happen. It had only been used five times in history. And those times had been by the master magician. Duo wasn't sure if anyone else but the master magician would be able to do it correctly.
Duo whispered reassuring nothingness to the blond while slowly rocking back and forth. The blonds sobs were heartbreaking. Suddenly a voice brought him back to reality.
"Could you please tell me what's going on, Duo?" Heero asked. Clearly surprised about the events which had just happened.
