(Third person's POV- omniscient)

Kairo tied up Lady Hana and he found it strange that she didn't even tried to struggle. All the time she sat quietly. Well, that went well.

Now the problem was, should he make her unconscious and leave her here or take her with them?

Because she was Gokudo's daughter.

He scratched his chin and he couldn't really come up with a plan as he thought, he would just ask brother Koji.

He said to Lady Hana, "Listen. I am already late at my next task and I might get an earful for it so, you better stay quiet."

She nodded obediently.

That was weird...

He scratched his chin some more and sighed. "Damn! They didn't tell me there was a daughter of that man! Now what should I do?"

She said with a low voice, it sounded more like she was stammering for some reason, "Y—you can t—take me with you..."

"But we never had any plans to take two targets with us!"

She said looking away, "B—but I might come helpful...if anything happens..."

"Like what?"

"L—like I am good at making poisons..."

"Nah... We have our master who is more expert in those not to mention, he is the one who made us grow antibodies in us. So, he is also good at making antidotes..." He bragged about his prince Rian as his chest puffed with pride.

"I—I can cook?" She said and Kairo blinked.

"And what we will even do with that? We can cook too and not mention, our master's wife is a great cook herself..." He again bragged about his prince and princess as his chest puffed... He muttered, "I am missing my princess's cook... It used to be so good..."

At that Lady Hana's face fell that the man who took her first kiss and made her his wife, was attached to some other woman! She was furious!

Kairo said, "Anyways, it seems I have to take you now."

Hana's face burnt with heat. Was he...was he going to do it now? Here?

No! That wasn't how Hana envisioned her wedding to be!

She wanted to have her wedding in their sacred lake and then...

She got flustered...

But then Kairo caught her waist and pulled her above his shoulder like a sack. She got confused and asked, "Wh—what are you doing?"

"Can't you see? I am taking you to my leader so we can decide what to do with you." He said and started to walk toward their next destination.

On the other hand, Koji and others had already caught Lord Gokudo and they had gathered in his room. The old man was sitting on his knees while his hands were tied up with a rope.

Koji asked, "You do know making a poison to kill our emperor is going to get you annihilated..."

Lord Gokudo was a stubborn old geezer as he humped and said, "Listen here! I don't really ask my customers why they want to poison from me. They give me a good amount and I make them whatever they request. I don't even know who are you all!"

Koji glared at him and said, "That is why we are going to take you with us..."

"But I have so many requests right now! I can't go!"

Koji hovered over the man and his glares intensified as the man flinched back. Koji asked, "Do you think you have a choice?"

He looked through his round glasses toward the four young men who looked like they had come from hell and he gulped. He certainly didn't have any choice here...

He had always told his customers to keep his location secret yet it seemed one of them had leaked it.

He wanted to know who was the culprit so he could poison him and kill him slowly!

Kondo asked, "Where is Kairo? Wasn't he the one to come here before us?"

Koji looked behind at the door and surely, he wasn't here... Where that upstart was!

Hans shook his head. He knew Kairo was about to get scolded by both Koji and Kondo...

And at that time, Kairo appeared with a woman on his shoulder...

All of them looked at him including the old man with gapes in their mouth.

Koji asked, his voice was cold and the glares were terrifying, "What are you doing carrying a woman on your shoulders during mission, Kairo?"

And the old man immediately shouted, "What are you doing with my daughter!"

Kairo said, "Relax! Relax! I wasn't doing anything... This lady poisonous was trying to kill me so I just took care of her."

He placed Lady Hana beside the old man as the old man growled, "How dare you touch my daughter with your filthy hands!"

Kairo glared at him and said, "Then how am I supposed to take her here? Did you want me to drag her by her hair?"

Hana's face turned red as she flinched and her father thought she was just feeling insulted as he growled again, "Dare you to talk about her like that! I will poison you to death!"

"Oh! I am already been poisoned by your daughter..." He said as he growled, "She poisoned me with Haneru!"

And all of them gasped including the old man. He asked, "How are you even standing here right now?"

Koji asked, his voice was now concerned, "Kairo, are you okay? Do you have any antidote with you?"

He said, "Err... I forgot to bring the antidote..."

Koji glared at him and said, "Take mine."

He shook his head and gave him a cheeky grin, saying, "I already got the antidote from her by force..."

As he said 'by force' Lady Hana flinched again and her father got angry.

Koji nodded now glad that it was Kairo who took the poison and not them. Kairo had a good resistance in his body. He was a knucklehead but his physical abilities were top of them.

Hans released a sigh as his partner was alright.

Lord Gokudo hissed at Kairo and said, "By force! You mean you had touched her! She is a maiden!"

Kairo was now irritated at him. What was he trying to say even?

He said, "She is going to get married and you touched her! Let my ropes loose so I can kill you with my poisons."

And at that time Lady Hana spoke. "F—father, I am afraid that's not possible..."

Her father looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

She said, "I am already married to him now. If you kill him that means you want me to become a widow."

Everyone froze and Kairo blinked. Married to him?

Lord Gokudo was so shocked that he couldn't speak and when he did he asked, "Wh—wha—what do you mean by you are married to him?"

"He—he..." Hana looked away shyly and said, "He kissed me..."

And once again, everyone froze and Kairo blinked.

"Hey! When did I kiss you?!" He shouted at her as she looked away shyly. And it made him cringed. There was no way he was married to this poisonous lady!

Kairo froze as he felt a presence behind him. It was Koji as he asked, his voice so cold and deadly that Kairo felt a shiver running down to his spine. "Kairo? You kissed her?"

He immediately turned around and said, "What! No! Why would I kiss this poisonous lady who tried to kill me—Oh!"

And then he recalled what she meant by the kissing. But that wasn't even a kiss!

Koji along with Hans glared at him as Kairo said, "B—but that's not even a kiss. It was because of desperate measures!"

Koji and Hans cracked their knuckles and said, "So... You did kiss her then..."

Hans said, "It seems like I haven't taught him enough mannerism yet..."

And Kairo said, "But that wasn't even a kiss!"

Who would want to marry a poisonous lady!?

****
[Arashi's POV]

Hiroshi came running and as he barged open the door, Arashi looked at him questioningly.

"What happened?" He asked.

Hiroshi said, "A small letter came..."

He nodded and Hiroshi gave him the small piece of the paper. It was a report from the mission.

He opened the letter and it was in codes. As he read he smiled that they had succeeded but his smile perished as it told that they were coming with a half dead Kairo.

His got worried and thought did he make a mistake to choose Kairo for this mission?

Bianka would be saddened if she came to know about it. He said to Hiroshi, "Prepare everything beforehand. I think Kairo is injured."

Hiroshi looked at him with a concern face and asked, "What did the report say?"

He said, "Nothing much. Just saying that they are coming back with two...two targets?"

Arashi was confused. Two targets and a half dead Kairo?

What was going on? He wouldn't be able to know unless they came so, it was better he waited and learn it from them about the situation.
