Nakago sat on the throne. He was the true ruler. Alexander the son of Huang Zhau sat by his side. Nakago was in a dark mood. His eyes were slitted. The little wench was way out of her league. She had alterior motives. He had seen them flicker in her eyes and then they were gone, and there was something hauntinly familiar about her. She had an inner radiance, a queen to the depths of her heart. She was like him, a doer and powerful if left to herself and that was frigtening.
"Alexander I want you to find out what that little wench is up to. I don't care if she's princess or not, find out what she's up to. Pretend you are in charge she'll tell you more that way."
Alexander bowed low and left. Nakago smiled. She was interesting and he couldn't remember the last time that he found a woman interesting. There was something about her that drew him to her like a moth to a flame. It was safer to use Alexander to find the information about her. She was too on her guard when he was around. He was positive that she knew who he was and he was equally positive that the ninja from the other night was her, but she wasn't alone that was ovious enough with the capture of Fiona. There had to be a reason for the madness. She was going to get herself killed, but he had nothing to say, if she was a enemy than she diserved death.
Soi ran the jeweled comb through her silky brown hair. She had send the maid away because the little girl put knots in her hair. A girl who doesn't know how to comb hair should not be a ladies maid.
Right after she spoke to Nakago yesterday she had informed the ninjas about the added protection in the country, she warned them that they had to watch out for Nakago. He's very powerfu, more powerful than they would ever believe possible but she was also a seishi so she held a chance against him, but the others didn't. They wouldn't understand, but she made them promise that the minute they see him they would run the other way.
Today was the day. There could be no more waiting. She needed the money now. The royal jewels of Kutou were hers tonight. This was going to be their last chance. The other ninjas were going to rescue Fiona and then create havoc in the palace while she headed towards the Jewel room. The plan was set and the adrenalin was already flowing through her veins. She nearly jumped out of the seat when there was a knock on the door. She grabbed the longest veil , just in case it was Nakago. She opened the door and was greeted by a bundle of roses from Alexander the Emperor's son. She smiled this was the fifth time that Alex had visited her in two days. She was positive that Nakago sent him. She had gotten him to tell her about Nakago and the fact that Nakago was the true ruler of Kutou Country. If she ever needed this information she would store it away in the memory for all time until next needed. She was sure that the Emperor of Honan Country would reward her greatly if he knew about all the tipids that she had gotten out of Alexander.
All she had to do was flirt just a little and add just a little dimple when smiling and he fell right into her hands. She could easily manipulate him to turn unknowingly against Nakago.
Alex was blushing and was as red as a tomato now that she had her arms around him and he was answering everything he knew about the Royal Jewels when there was another knock on the chamber door.
She opened the door and standing there in a silk black robe was Nakago. Her eyes opened wide. He looked so good in the robe; so handsome *dreamy*. She shook her head and bestowed Nakago with a brilliant smile using both dimples. Nakago eyebrows raised when he saw the flushed Alexander.
"You are ordered to leave now Alex and go do something else, maybe watch the prisoner, FIONA." He emphasised the name Fiona to see if there was even a flicker of emotion from princess Soalcu. The black veil covered her so completely that he couldn't even tell what hair colored she had.
"Take off the veil princess. I think we both know that you don't need to have the veil on. It is not a religious ritual from your country. I hear from Alex that you look stunning without it, no scars or broken skin. I do wonder why you only wear your veil in my presence."
"I don't want to take off the veil. I do as I like and I refuse." Soi said this with a tilt to her head. Her breathing was beginning to get ragged just from being in Nakago's presence. Without warning her veil was snatched from her face and there were audible gasps from both parties.
