For the period of one month, Krisha rested in bed while Famn did the paperwork.

It turned out that Krisha was under the suspicion of the Eloia Council of Magic for a period of time as even though the accident was written off as a `natural disaster' private investigation by Sakkral Dajin's family still carried on as the Dajin family are a extremely influential family, they needed someone to blame, naturally the best person to blame this time round would be Krisha who was known to have the ability to control water.

Luckily the Palace intervened and protected Krisha, however there was still a lot of paperwork to do, and the task to complete them was simply given to his page, Famn, sufficient to say, Famn wasn't exactly pleased about it.

"Why should I be the one that suffer when the person responsible for this whole mess is just lying in bed doing nothing?" he grumbled, "I know that as a personal page I should take on whatever responsibility the key have but no one told me I have to do paperwork! Now I'm just back at where I started."

Poking his head out of the covers, Krisha's smile widen at this unexpected tidbit of information, smiling gleefully he added the tiny morsel of information to his growing collection of information about Famn.

When the page had started his work, he was tight-lipped about his past and whatever Dajin tried to do, he could not get any information out of him.

However as time went by, Famn would occasionally slip a bit of information of his past. So far I know that he was adopted, wants to be a key and used to do paperwork, maybe he was a secretary! Mentally rubbing his hands together, his expression is of a person who struck gold.

So much information in one month, maybe I can find out his entire past in 1 year! It's a bit slow, finding out about Famn's past but I have to know where this being with such a nice and firm butt, with a height that is slightly above 6ft, the luxurious and smooth raven shoulder length hair, the pristine shape of his face and the shape of his body came from! With any luck I can acquire a relative of his and breed similar copies of him, this way I'm guaranteed to win the "Best looking page contest".

Krisha chuckled as he imagined the other keys faces when they see him win the contest every year.

The Palace of Eloia is famous for two things, one the beauty of its keys, rooms, etc. The other thing that Eloia is famous for is its annual Key competition. Once a year all the Keys gather together to compete against one another in terms of their page's beauty, their Masters, the new décor of their room, etc.

However the most competitive competition is the Ranking competition, the Keys are ranked according to the status of their Master, how many Master they have (the less the better), what kind of gifts they received and what House their Master is in.

For three year running, Krisha had been in the top 10 position, at a modest 6th rank, however this year he would definitely drop.Krisha grimaced as he recalled what Famn had told him.

Famn looked at Krisha in the eye and told him the bad news "Krisha, you know that the Dajin family blames you for their son's death" Krisha nodded mutely. "Well, they have decided that you are not worthy to be the key that represents their family and are in the midst of removing you from records.

Barely controlling the tears that threaten to fall, he flinched as he imagined what the other Keys would say, all the Keys are usually at least civil to each other but when during competition days they all turned to monsters. To the Keys the annual competition is the most important event every year, to them the competition is a matter of pride and bragging rights.

It's not fair! He wanted to yell I spent so much time seducing Clec Dajin so as to get into the top 10 but he had to get himself killed and all my effort were all for nothing, then Sakkral had to come and claim to be my Master as the second son of the Dajin family, with his You-are-dirt-compared-to-me attitude he would have gotten himself killed sooner or later anyway he snorted.

It took him a month but he finally admitted it. His `love' for Clec was simply love for his wealth and position, his `love' for Sakkral was simply possessiveness. He was not afraid to admit that he used people to get what he wants, but after all what values could a child learn from a brothel.

Deciding to cheer himself up by irritating Famn, he asked the most irritating question he could think of, "Famn, could you tell me about your family?" he impishly asked. Looking up from his work,

Famn cocked his head and asked "Why do you ask me a question you know I will never answer?"

Grinning, Krisha just nodded.

"Why don't this time you tell me about your family?"

Looking up in shock, Krisha paled then ruefully answered, "My father was the Key of Water, and my mother was just the breeding stock to get the next Key, that's all".

"That's definitely not all about your family"

"Too bad, you won't know anything else about my family from me." Laughing at the enraged expression Famn wore, he turned over and decided to take a nap.

~After 1 more week~

"Whee I can finally get out of the hospital!" Stretching his back he turned his head to look at Famn, "Is all the paperwork done?"

Nodding, he replied "The Dajin family decided to stop the private investigations as they were a drain of money and they thought that the investigation would go nowhere.

If only they knew he mused. "All right I'm officially in need of a Master, Famn take the purple book from under my bed in my room" he ordered.

Looking curiously at Krisha, Famn did as he was told and returned carrying a thick and heaving book. Wheezing and panting he put the book on the table. The book title was "Who's who in the Greund Continent?"

Smirking and cackling evilly, Krisha snickered out "This is this year who's who copy, YOU are going to flip through the book and find potential Masters for me." Whipping out a list out of nowhere, he pointed to it "This is the list of people who already have a key so count them out".

"Now I'm going to rest and get a well deserved facial and manicure, good luck Famn" Blowing him a kiss, Krisha left the room leaving a despaired Famn.

"NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!" A scream was heard throughout the Palace.
