Genbu sat there, staring at the window.
“The sun’s setting, finally.”

His eyes felt heavy, his stomach, hungry. He can’t believe the Princess has gone missing. The same Princess he took care of since her birth, the same Princess whom he fell in love with, even though he knew it was wrong to love a mere human.

“Tcchh… Where did you gone off to, Kaila?” He closed his eyes, wishing if he opens them, Kaila would be in front of him. He didn’t realize that Kaila’s mother, Queen Rose, has entered his room, smiled when he mumbled, "Oh Kaila, how I miss you so… "

“My, my… A god like you to worry about my child?” She said, sitting on the velvet armchair in the middle of the room.

“Who wouldn’t? I cared for her for 13 years. How could I not worry? I’m like a second father to her.” He replied, all tired and ready to cry.

“You love her, don’t you?” The queen suddenly asked. Genbu jumped.
“I do not!” His face flushed.

Suddenly, his onyx-black ring glowed.
Kaila was contacting him!
