It was already the 3rd day of continuous work with papers: there was necessarity to finish all the work before leaving the capital.
There were riots on the country border, local governments could no longer cope with barbarian raids on the villages, so the king decided to send an army there to deal with this problem once and for all.
Wei Huan lazily leaned back in his chair, yet for a military man who was used to spending most of his time in battle, such a load on his back and eyes seemed much harder than carrying a 100kg weapon box.
There was a knock on the office door.
—General, can I enter? — The door was opened by a young military man.
—Come in. Speak. —The leopard took off glasses and rubbed his eyes.
—All preparations are over, sir, we can move out today! — Young officer said clearly and loudly.
—Alright, then we'll leave at noon. Go warn the others.
The young man saluted and left the office, leaving the door open. General's eyes were hit by the bright light of the morning sun from the opposite hallway window.
Wei Huan stood up and after stretching his stiff muscles a bit walked out of the office into the brightly lit corridor of the palace. “I should go wash up and change clothes before leaving,” the sight of the leopard after three days of isolation in the office was terrible.
For the military, such an action didn't take much time: after half an hour the man was already ready and was walking in the direction of the main exit.
Suddenly, a red-haired guy in white ran out to meet him, but without calculating the distance and speed of running, he crashed right into Wei Huan's chest. Suddenly scared, the cat staggered back and almost fell back, as at that moment a large hand gently caught his waist.
—Don’t run through the corridors and knock people down, — man said calmly looking at the culprit of the incident.
The red-haired boy was the only prince of the kingdom, and, despite the fact that he was not biological son of the king and queen, he was loved and respected by everyone, for his gentleness and kindness to everyone around him. We can say that this youngster was considered as a little angel, keeping joy and peace in the palace.
The General wasn't exception, he watched Mei Xing grew up for more than ten years, and even such a battle-hardened military man like him couldn't treat this little sun coldly and spoiled the boy in every possible way.
But from the perspective of the young man, the attitude was different. Since childhood, since he got to the palace and met Wei Huan, he always asked for leopard's attention, following him everywhere, and when he was driven away, he hid somewhere and quietly watched from the hiding place, of course boy has been always noticed. As a teenager, Mei Xing realized his feelings for the general. He calmly accepted this, but decided to wait until he came of age to confess his love to him. But he had no idea that the leopard saw and understood everything perfectly, he just pretended not to know.
—Brother Huan, are you really leaving the capital? Will you participate in the war with the barbarians? How long will you be gone? Do you have to leave? What if something happens to you? — The guy grabbed Wei Huan’s sleeve and began to ask questions one after another. Sadness, worry and fear mixed in the cat's eyes.
—Hush, ask slowly, — the man tried to calm him down.
—May I at least go with you! Please! I... I think something will happen while you're gone... I'm scared. — This was not another whim or excuse, there was a real fear of something unknown in Mei Xing's eyes, only the General could not understand what was the reason.
He hugged tensed young man and stroked his head:
—Everything will be all right, the palace is guarded by the best military men in the country. I can't take you with me, because it's very dangerous, I don't want anything to happen to you, — Wei Huan said gently. looked sadly at the little prince.
—No, please… — Tears rolled down from emerald eyes, legs became fragile, hands holding man's sleeve weakened.
—I have to go. — The leopard released the young man from his embrace and continued on his way to the exit from the palace.
A week after the army departure from the capital, the king and queen were killed, and the prince went missing...
