"Right Princess Rosemary Jen it is!"

The mysterious identity of his soon to be fiancée was revealed by Prince Rogan. 


With a slight frown of delightfulness, Prince Rogan seemed impressed already with his way of introducing his soon to be bride.
 


But strangely unknown vibes suddenly clouded the space of two boon friends in no time, the identity of the so called female disturbed the great upperclassman's aura a bit.
 


Why?
 


"King Louis's daughter it is, you claimed.

Uttering with his tone sounding serious, master Xavier hinted a little disturbance. 


As if he realised something.
 


King Louis was also one of the kings under master Xavier's rule, the most troublesome ruler was he who valued his ego first than joining hands with others.
 


He only steps ahead for his benefits.
 


Master Xavier never liked king Louis because of his cunning personality towards the policies and degrees.
 


The only reason why King Louis had to respect the degrees ordered by master Xavier was because he owned the young Europe entirely.
 


Otherwise it would have been long ago for Louis's kingdom causing disturbing chaos in the territories of young Europe.
 


King Louis was a greedy man.
 


Still he could never hold the guts to go against master Xavier and protest against him, at least till master Xavier is in the rule.
 


King Louis knew his limits though it was all forced.
 


Master Xavier never trusted him because the greedy king had a nature of gambling the trusts.
 


"Yeah.
What's the matter with him?

Prince Rogan questioned sounding curious when his about to be father-in-law's mention gained his ears. 


Master Xavier remained silent for a couple of seconds before preparing his next statement.
 


He owned no nature of gossips, yet warning his boon friend became the upperclassman's priority here.
 


"He isn't a man of promising relations until something is benefiting him.

Unfurling the mystery of Prince Rogan, master Xavier had his strict eyes ahead. Cold and blank was it hinting only seriousness. 


"The man who owns the habit of gambling the policies would toy minds.

The upperclassman intended to alarm his boon friend about the possible danger of this sudden proposal out of nowhere from the Louis's kingdom. 


But little did he knew, the danger wasn't actually about to knock his boon friend's doorway but his...
 


Master Xavier knew well that coming from Louis's kingdom nothing brings well omen hence he intended to warn his friend beforehand about it all.
 


For reasons unknown he wasn't feeling something right about the proposal from Louis's side.
 


"Gambling the policies?

Raising his brows up, Prince Rogan felt intrigued by the information provided by his upperclassman friend. 


Obviously the god of young Europe's guts and guesses never lied.
Hence taking his words into a serious fit, the prince of manly 25 stood up from his seat before approaching the huge transparent window at the other side of the space where his upperclassman friend was sitting. 


With a knowledgeable look drawn all around his features, the prince Rogan  looked the other way before gutting to speak up soon in reply to the alarm of master Xavier.
 


"The Princess is rumoured to be the most gorgeous woman in the entire territories of young Europe, Xavier.
"

Uttering with a hint of caution, Prince Rogan rather seemed to already own the valid knowledge about everything. 


Which certainly surprised master Xavier who transferred his cold eyes to him only to see him all serious and unaffected.
 


Even knowing about all that Prince Rogan seemed to be all okay for this very proposal from Louis's kingdom?
 


Why?
 


"She mastered medicines, skilled martial arts and studied law, she is fond of decorating herself in pure silk and diamonds.
She is an ideal woman of decency and royalty for whom numbers of eligible bachelors round the corners of the world are still fighting over for.

Unfurling the details about his bride to be, Prince Rogan seemed to be quite weird with his choice of words. 


In their world not many woman owned such many qualities and skills.
Only hearing the mentions about king Louis's daughter being so elegant and capable caused the upperclassman to understand where did his boon friend fell weak. 


Her beauty, her skills got Prince Rogan to fall in love with her already.
 


Master Xavier held his tongue calmly only so he could read his friend's thoughts in a lot more clearer way.


He wanted to hear Prince Rogan entirely before intending to make up any further statements.
 


Prince Rogan replied to the silence soon.
 


"A woman regarded as a literal goddess, she would bring heavy honour to me and my kingdom with her beauty and skills.

A hint of greed was heard in the tone of Prince Rogan's way of unfurling the further details about his bride to be.


Right, he was in want of her...
 


True, Louis's daughter was famous all around the young Europe.
Who would not want a woman who knew too much to be so gorgeous? 


Though nobody yet saw her but a rumour about her did madly fooled many, even her portrait couldn't capture her beauty...
many said. 


She was one goddess who could even lit up desire in a rock.
Prince Rogan was still a man with a foolish heart. 


The weird egomaniacal confidence in his tone was what caught the main attention of master Xavier who was still silently observing his boon friend attentively.
 


As person who only understood the language of selflessness than owning any preferences in matter as such...
the god like man only judged his friend who was lost momentarily.


Obviously status matters the most in marriage...
beauty does the very first, but. 


Also hearing such positive contents about the lady, master Xavier himself wasn't much surprised why Prince Rogan was acting that way.
 


He had obviously developed a serious liking on king Louis's daughter.
 


Indeed!
 


"Letting King Louis toy my mind in return seems not much of an hard deal, don't you think?
"

Turning around, the red haired Prince questioned the upperclassman friend who was still sitting on the couch on the other side of the space. 


Master Xavier took a minute or two just to stare at his friend features to measure his level of seriousness about his thoughts which he just unfurled.
 


"You seem to risk it all for her.

And very soon preparing a careless comment about it, master Xavier tore his ocean like blue godly eyes away from his boon friend before settling it on somewhere else without any care. 


Master Xavier seemed to not mind about him anymore.
 


"Who would not for a woman like her, my friend?

A couple of playful chuckles soon by then rang around the huge hall of two reputed man. 


Prince Rogan laughed off his friend's lack of interest in such matter.
 


Obviously master Xavier was the type of man who would never care about worldly matters.
It was worthless to discuss it with him. 


He would not understand any emotions than kindness.
 


Not only he was a strict follower of celibacy but also was he one man of heavy morals, people don't worship him for nothing.
 


"These are all myths.

Uttering blankly master Xavier at this point had nothing more to alarm to his friend. 


Neither he wanted to bother about it nor he wanted to meddle in Prince Rohan's matter anymore.
Cause obviously the question about his future doesn't concern anyone but only him. 


Yet why a certain amount of uneasiness still bothered master Xavier for reason unknown?
He didn't feel it all so right yet he managed to compel away his disturbance and not make Prince Rogan notice any of his silent worries. 


The god of young Europe decided to be the part of his boon friend's joy than minding his business any further.
 


Meanwhile hearing master Xavier stating that with his cold blank eyes, Prince Rogan approached the seat beside him yet again.
 


Obviously the upperclassman has never been interested in worldly matters, Prince Rogan knew him way too well.
 


"Beauty doesn't lure you, neither the qualities.
What does then, Xavier?"

Questioning with an obvious clue of playful curiosity, Prince Rogan watched his upperclassman boon friend closely. 


Master Xavier could be the ruler of rulers but he still had no selfishness in him.
He was powerful and the most respectable character of young Europe who was contributing his entire life in his people's well-being without any greed. 


Although him being this young, he never got used to his playful youth.
He has always been serious with his duties while growing up. 


Both the friends have known each other since childhood, despite of such massive difference in reputation both never felt any greater or less with one another.
 


Master Xavier became the ruler of the young Europe at his early delicate age of 15 while Prince Rogan was yet to be crowned as a king of Hooran.


He was just a Prince learning experiences.
 


Hooran being still ruled under the look out of master Xavier makes Prince Rogan a lot lower rank to match the upperclassman's level but not letting the difference in the status cause illness in their friendship, both the boon friends never minded the official relations in lone.
 


Being friends with one another since so many years, somewhere Prince Rogan still never denied the fact that there was something he lacked which could get him understand master Xavier in a more clearer way.
 


Master Xavier might sure be very close to him but sometimes it becomes hard to understand him.
 


"I live with no greed, you know that.

Master Xavier commented with usual blankness as Prince Rogan kept looking at him with some harsh silence for few seconds. 


Obviously master Xavier lived with no regret.
 


But does he not feel need of anything in his life?
No land he desires, no being he wants, no things matters to him. No emotion he values except humanity...


How could a man live without any wish...
without any need? Without any desire? 


Without any greed...


"What if one day you develop a greed for something?
