“I'll get out of here. But let Murdock stay. He will help you track the whereabouts of the two intruders.”

Grey considered the request of king Aruchi, then highlighted Murdock who was now looking at him sharply.

“Good. I'll give you one week. If in that time you can not bring the intruder out of Geogini, then go and never disturb our calm.”

A deal made that day was like a Boomerang. Grey could not calm down with the decision he took, because he himself was like betraying his ally's kingdom.

If Grey had not made the decision and had chosen to forcibly expel King Aruchi and his troops, Grey was also worried, as Murdock was there. Not to doubt the commander of Junot, but Murdock is known as the commander of nine lives. He cannot be defeated easily.

“What are you thinking, prince?” ask Ivory to worry. Because after returning to the palace this afternoon, Grey looks restless.

Grey smiled, then hugged Ivory who was looking for a comfortable position in his arm. “Nothing.”

Ivory rubbed Grey's chest. “Do not save your problems alone. Who knows if I can help. I'm not as dumb as the prince thinks.”

There was a small ruckus chuckling at Grey's lips. He kissed Ivory's head and hugged her tightly. This time, he was afraid of losing the woman in his arms at this moment.

It was getting late, and Grey still could not close his eyes after successfully driving Ivory to dreamland. He saw a beautiful face that was closed tightly with a smooth snoring on his slightly open lips. One laugh without a sound again appeared in Grey's lips. It was like a dream to be with Ivory, the girl he considered to be a wild girl and her many minus behaviors were now in full swing, looks comfortable and not piqued at all when the index finger slips the hair behind the ear.

“If someday I have to leave her side, I hope she always receives a lot of affection from anyone. She's a nice girl, and of course very sweet.” Grey murmured while gently rubbing Ivory's cheek with her thumb. “And I hope, he can also accept any risks and consequences of the life I live.” Grey closed for a moment, once again putting a brief kiss on Ivory's forehead and then trying to close to follow Ivory to dreamland.

...***...

Dust flew because of the race of several pairs of horse legs that hit the quiet streets. This area includes a fairly arid countryside, minimal population, and also often experience drought. They live not far from the sea—just a few kilo meters, but strangely, this village is really like a dry village that is difficult to get water. Also, they cannot consume seawater for their living needs. Tawaruna Village. The village where Ivory lived from childhood until he stepped foot into the palace.

“What clues did you get from your man, Commander Murdock?” grey asked, trying to convince if they were not rash and wrong in making a decision.

Yep. Murdock actually lived in Geogini after the deal was struck, along with a confidant who was helping the king investigate the whereabouts of two intruders who were most likely now plotting to leave Geogini.

The whereabouts of Murdock and one of his bodyguards are kept secret by Grey from the allied kingdom of Geogini. For the time being, he was still breathing a sigh of relief because no one had sniffed, suspected or caught Murdock inside the Geogini palace, either, and hope no one will know until the mission of king Aruchi ends. Because if that were to happen, there would be more terrible fatalities than the severing of the allied and bilateral relations between the kingdoms. Worst of all, Geogini will be attacked without resistance, it is written in the allied agreement. Strange, but it is. And they all agreed to a treaty that sounded totally unmoving to that side of humanity.

“Before, I would like to ask you, prince.” Murdock's voice broke the silence and confusion inside Grey's head.

Grey pulled the reins of his horse when he heard Murdock's voice interrupting, and at once three others stopped.

“Have you closed all access in Geogini region? Can you guarantee those two people won't run out of here?” murdock continued with great emphasis. He had a great duty from his king, and certainly did not want to disappoint the Aruchi king as a form of loyalty.

“You doubt me? Hey, Commander Murdock, I'm not stupid, and the commander and the Geogini warriors are not as stupid as you think.”

Murdock shrugged not to apologize for his sarcastic remarks. He only made sure that there were no errors or communication errors between him and the prince.

“Then, do you think they won't look for allies? Paying 'insider' to open access, for example?”

It's already clearly reflected in Grey's brain. Last night he thought of a strategy so that anyone from Geogini would not conspire and make the mistake of helping the intruder escape.

“I'll be in charge if it happens.”

As their horses race back, they head to one of the places considered to be hiding places by two intruders who kidnapped the daughter of king Aruchi twenty years ago.

Earlier, before going to meet the Grey prince, Murdock had time to understand and memorize the map and layout of Tawaruna village. He is a observant. And here they are. The wind blew hot, the sun was scorching as it burned its head, and the dusty dry soil that was inhaled made it congested. They arrived at Tawaruna.

Murdock took the lead in front, circulating his gaze towards the surrounding houses. Grey follows the horse Murdock's steps. Until one thing that made Grey wide with a look of disbelief. Murdock stopped in front of a building that was no stranger to him. A place he never expected would be the destination of Murdock, a place he knew and knew. Grey is at a loss for words. He froze on the pedestal of his body which felt like it was wavering. The house, which is currently sealed off as uninhabited, is Ivory's parents' home. How could they be intruders?

If it is true, then,

So, Ivory.[].

Seriate.
