Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 5: Become Someone Else

After reading the information records of several young aristocrats living in the city, Alu left only three people who he thought were most suitable as substitutes for his disguise.

"Which one do you think is the most suitable?" Alu then asked Vita.

"Mn, this Hawke is the Princess' cousin. He is not very talented, and his personality is also very bad. He also likes to have fun. The princess may not like the man. I think he is no match for you, Your Highness." Said Vita.

"But these two people, one is a young genius who was recruited by the Kingdom, and the other is the little brother of the Princess who is also very talented in cultivation. He will probably become the crown prince later."

"Those two people have good personalities. Their relationship with the Princess is also very good. I think Your Highness can choose one of them."

"It's just that, it might be difficult to catch these two people. The young genius rarely leaves his place at the Royal Academy."

"Meanwhile, Princess's younger brother, when he goes out, there will always be many bodyguards guarding him. There are even experts hiding in the dark."

"However, if Your Majesty really wants them, we can still help Your Highness."

"Hmmm, I don't think the relationship between those people is that simple."

"But that's not important, my only goal is to join this hunting party to capture the Prince of the Sacred Wind Kingdom and the Princess of the Blue Spiritual Kingdom."

"In order not to create too much turmoil, it is better to choose the easy one."

"I know you must have a way of getting that man, Hawke, to come here. I want you to make him come now." Said Alu while glancing at Vita.

"But Your Highness, this Hawke. His personality may not be a match for His Highness." Vita reminded.

Even though Vita had heard that Prince Alu was quite skilled at disguise, she couldn't imagine how a cold and indifferent man like Alu would act like a useless bastard.

"You don't have to worry about it. All you need to do is follow my words." Alu replied with cold eyes as he glanced at Vita.

"Also, I think this Hawke is better suited to take on this mission role."

Vita who felt Alu's cold eyes did not dare to argue anymore. She quickly walked out of the room.

On the way, he still occasionally glanced back.

"Shit, what cold eyes. It's just beauty." She said to herself.

"Unfortunately the Prince is too indifferent to women. If not, I might prefer to compete for the position of his personal servant instead. Sigh." She sighed.

Although the woman who was probably the same age as Alu's father felt a little frightened by Alu's gaze, compared to that, she actually also felt charmed by Alu's gaze.

....

It was not difficult for Vita to make Hawke come to the entertainment venue.

Vita only announced that she would personally put on a show. Apart from that, she also announced that she would provide special services to lucky visitors.

When the entertainment venue spread Vita's announcement, not only Hawke and many other young royals, even some of the old nobles rushed out of their place just to watch the show Vita was about to put on.

Through the spiritual screen, Alu can watch the show quite clearly.

But, while the show made almost all the men watching blush, there was not the slightest reaction on Alu's face when he saw the Vita show that could be said to be extremely hot.

The Vita danced swiftly while showing the curves of her body that made the noses of the men bleed because they wanted to touch her.

While dancing, Vita also moved little by little towards one of the audience.

It was a young man who looked the same age as Alu. Even though the young man's expression looked very lecherous when he looked at Vita, the young man's face was actually quite handsome. At the very least, the women wouldn't be disgusted by him regardless of his attitude.

When Vita arrived beside the young man, Vita slightly lowered her head to approach the young man's ear. She is seen whispering something to him.

People couldn't hear what she was whispering, but seeing the young man's face instantly flushed red, even some of the old nobles couldn't help but be jealous.

In their hearts they all curse. "Fuck, why is this useless bastard going to get this lucky."

But no matter how jealous they were, the young man's background as the King's nephew made them dare not make a move on him as he went hand in hand with Vita.

However, unbeknownst to them, when Vita and the young man disappeared from their sight, the young man had already lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he found his hands tied in a room that did not look like a place of entertainment.

...

Hawke saw Vita standing beside him while a young man with his head covered sat in front of him.

Hawke could barely see the young man's face, but he could see the young man's black eyes very clearly. Although those eyes were black, they looked like they were emitting a light that made them clearly visible even if they were in the middle of the darkness of the night.

Just looking at those eyes, Hawke subconsciously shivered with cold. And that made him aware of the situation now.

"You guys, what are you doing. Vita, what does this mean?" He asked Vita.

Obviously he was surprised. Not only did Vita not take him to the room to provide special services, she even dared to kidnap him.

Even though he wasn't smart, he still understood the situation. Being the king's nephew, he had been attacked too many times by those targeting the royal family.

Vita didn't answer, but Alu spoke to answer him.

"You don't need to know because you're going to die soon." Alu replied in an indifferent tone, making Hawke startled.

"You want to kill me? Do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me, my father will feel it right away and he can come here in an instant."

Even though he was speaking in quite a loud voice, Hawke was actually feeling very nervous. Unlike the people who attacked him in the past, Hawke felt a different feeling when he was in the presence of Alu. He felt like he was in front of the grim reaper.

"Your Highness, there might be a formation hidden in this brat's body. If we killed him straight away, the kingdom might find out right away."

"If Your Highness doesn't mind waiting, we can prepare another formation to counteract theirs." Said Vita.

While Vita was talking, Hawke couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Vita's calling words while she was talking to Alu.

"'Your Highness.' Who exactly are you?" Hawke finally realized how serious the problem was.

Usually the people who targeted him were just ordinary people who had a grudge against the kingdom. But from Vita's words, it was clear they too came from the kingdom.

"Do not worry." Alu ignored Vita's suggestion while he got up from his chair.

"As long as I kill him, they won't be able to find him. No, they won't even realize he's dead." Alu smiled coldly.

Under Vita's shocked eyes, black flames suddenly flared from Alu's hand and it immediately charged towards Hawke who was tied in front of Alu. The black flames immediately drowned Hawke in the flames.

What surprised Vita was, when the fire drowned Hawke, Hawke actually looked fine. He didn't even look in pain.

However, soon Vita found something strange. She found Hawke's eyes suddenly go blank as if he had lost his soul. But it only lasted for a moment before Hawke's eyes lit up again.

However, they no longer looked like Hawke's. Rather, it emitted a cold light that could only appear in one person's eyes.

When Vita looked ahead, she found that Alu had disappeared from her front.

"Mn, this brat is indeed too bad. His cultivation is still at the first layer of True Spirituality stage and his spiritual source background is also very weak. This is actually no different from an ordinary cultivator's spiritual source." Hawke suddenly spoke while looking at the two hands he had raised.

"Okay, I'll go first." Hawke then spoke to Vita before he walked out of the room.

Of course the young man was no longer Hawke. But Alu.

The time Hawke passed out was actually quite long. Previously, Alu deliberately didn't wake him up because he wanted to use that time as a cover for what Hawke was doing with Vita.

"Your Highness, you." Vita spoke with an astonished expression when she saw the figure of Hawke who now walked out of the room. She clearly still didn't understand what had happened.

Phoenix power was far more mysterious and unfathomable than even the people of the Phoenix clan had imagined all this time.

With his Phoenix flames, Alu can annihilate a person's soul without injuring that person's body. And after that soul is gone, he can immediately enter his own soul to replace the original soul of the owner of the body.

When viewed from the outside, it was as if the owner of the body never died.

Phoenix Flames Burning Soul. It was the first stage of the Phoenix clan cultivation technique.

As for taking over someone else's body, that was not a cultivation technique. But purely because Phoenix Alu's soul possessed such an ability.

Disguised using someone else's body, that was the reason why Alu's disguise was never revealed until recently. Apart from seeing through his changed personality, there was no other way he could figure out Alu's disguise. Even a Nirvana king like Zaden couldn't see through Alu's disguise.
