In Forest Villa
A man lay on the bed lazily with his eyes closed, on the bed side a long and sturdy man was bending his upper body and touching the man on his forehead lovingly, while the latter ignored him continuously and lay on his stomach. Ah Zhou listen to me pleaded Lin Zhen; I am sorry it won't happen again and tried again to touch him but he dodged it "hump". Lin Zhen sat on his side and touched his hair gently trying to coax him. Fu Zhou refused to budge to his pleas; Lin Zhen could only gently caress his hair and kiss gently. He bent his upper body leaned closely to him and kissed his hair and earlobe lovingly.
After persuasion Fu Zhou laid on his back facing Lin Zhen, he took the opportunity to lift Fu Zhou and carry him like kola pulling both his legs around his waist and hold him in place. Fu Zhou tried to get down, so he wrapped one hand on his upper back and another on smacking on his butt to keep him in place. He walked out of the house walking in the direction of the pool, near the house.
Pool side is the favorite place of Fu Zhou, he carried him all along to the shore and placed him on his lap one hand on his waist and another on the face and kissing his face continuously on forehead, eyelids, cheeks, lips nose and chin asking him to listen "what he wants to say" later he lazily replied with "hmm".
Lin Zhen was instantly happy and pecked his thin lips few times Fu Zhou snorted. Lin Zhen spoke coquettishly "listen to me" I didn't mean to hurt you; I will help you solve the problem in trade you just need to accompany me for few days.
"No need" Fu Zhou rejected instantly.
Lin Zhen held him closely and said "I want to spend more time with you; this is the easiest way, so I decided to play along with them.
Lin Zhen was the crown prince of ZEMRU dynasty. He has two brothers and a younger sister. The two brothers devised a plan to trap him and make a way for them for the position, so they decided to talk to the king about the looters intruding in their territory and need to reevaluate the safety in the area that way he will be sent away.

The official who reported informed the king about the intrusion in the border and the need for strengthen the border security.
Lin Zhen's brothers who were looking for the opportunity to send him way left no stone unturned to make the king agree for their suggestion.

So there won't be any issues if he went along with him, providing some breathing space and access the situation without any obstacles. They can go to the Lemru under the pretext of trade and assess their stand about intruding the territory.
