Meeting.
They are soon summoned, but by Minister Zhang, not the King, as expected.
"Minister. I heard of the news and I'm here to help."
"News of what..." Minister Zhang looks very suspicious.
"The death of the king, of course..."
The other man is shocked. "How do you! What are you really up to? Sabotage Xingxi?"
"It is as I said. I am here to help avoid a civil war for the throne. With a worthy, rightful heir."
"The King had no relatives known to be alive. There are no tracks anymore of princes WuXing and Zuo."
Beryn shakes his head slightly. "Not them, indeed. I'm talking about Qiu Zhao."
His eyes widen. "The prince died more than a year ago! The killer got rid of his body in the forests!"
"I can guarantee he is alive, but can we count on your cooperation?"
"If you have prince Zhao in your hands, you most certainly can count on me."
"Start the preparations for the crowning and give the announcement."
Some time after, they take Flesh and Chan to the king's quarters. They are free to do as they want, even take WooPil there. Meanwhile, preparations for the funeral and Master Beryn...marking his territory.
Zhao is very down, it doesn't feel good to be back...lots of memories, mostly bad ones. He is not saying anything, not being of company, he could explore the beautiful quarters but hasn't much will.
Eventually Beryn returns to them. Of course his purpose is beyond avoiding the civil war, there is also his own gain. It is a risky investment and he is well aware, but it can bring to so many advantages, should it work. He is calling there lots of his people, wanting to know everything. The situation is still too delicate. Naturally Minister Zhang is suspicious of him and he is kinda right.
He wants to be close to the boys, become their friend, earn their trust. He looks at what each of them is doing and first of all, he gives some words of comfort to Zhao. "...you are doing the right thing. I won't leave your side, you can always count on me for anything."
Done that, he approaches the others.

"If he hadn't interests, he wouldn't be helping us...I have never even spoken to him before today, I randomly saw him at the shop." And he wasn't yet aware who Flesh might be.
"You only have to speak to WooPil about it...you...you don't have to worry, we don't have to do anything." He would feel so awkward to consumate with Chan.
"If I may...my people figured out what servants stand by the Minister's side. They will report to him our every move, I would go for someone else." He has plans for Mae. XD
«I didn't know him either, until he came to me, looking for you. He was right though, the situation could have caused a civil war without a legitimate heir to the throne. You are saving many lives, taking this burden on yourself.»
Also since Chan would 100% top with no compromises xD «Shi, of course. I just hope he won't get the wrong thoughts…» He sighs.
«If you already know which are the right servants, you should point them out, so he doesn't risk to get some asshole close to him.»
He slightly nods. "He was right, some people here are like parasites. I still am not safe from them myself..." He is very worried they might attempt to do something. "But if I am here, it is to avoid conflicts and war...I want to do it."
Relationships with two tops are always the most difficult. XD Especially when no top is willing to give in. "If he wants, he can even spend the night with us to see we are not doing anything. I mean...I know you are together and...I really am not interested, I can avoid doing it..." He scratches his head nervously.
He is glad to hear, since it is exactly what he wanted. "If Bixia allows me, I can point the people I believe to be more suitable to serve him. We have to act quickly, before the minister arrives."
He nods and sighs. «I guess it is all set, then… we are going to do this…»
He is not a soft top. «I will spend the night with him for sure, he hates to sleep alone… besides, there is no need to consummate, they wouldn't even have any way to test it happened anyway. It's all on our word.»
He looks at Zhao, since it's up to him.to.give Beryn permission or not.
Exactly. It is safe from that point of view. If you like, you and WooPil can go to see the residences and choose, I will let you have the one you like the best."
He stands up, nodding at Beryn. "We can go. Xiexie for everything..."
Beryn leads the way to meet the servants. Renewing starter inc.
