Rise of the hidden dragon.

HISTORY OF PRINCE AKARI

Footstep could be heard as the maidservant hurried down the corridor, turning round a corner, she almost hit the young eunuch, taking a step back and bowing, she apologize and was on her way.

Stop! The eunuch said turning to her direction and walking to her.

The maid was already frightened and didn't know what will happen next since the eunuchs were not ordinary.

Why were you in a hurry now? Did you not realize that this place is forbidden to the maidservants at this hour of the day? Asked the young eunuch.

Paying respect to the eunuch, my apology my lord, I was in a haste to get to the new consort but eyes as the mountain I have not which make me miss the way my lord, pardon me lord, I just join the royal service yesterday, replied the maid.

Hmmm! I see, but do you know why it is forbidden to the maidservant? Asked the eunuch.

I don't know, my lord, replied the maidservant.

But do you want to know why? He said walking to her, bending down until he reached her ear, he whispered, making the eye of the maidservant large as if she has seen a ghost. The only thing that kept on ringing in her mind was that it is a taboo.

At another place in the palace, the new consort was secretly escorted to the king chamber through a secret channel.

Ai, the emperor turn as she came in, looking at her as she stood in the same place she was since she came in.

Not bad, seems like you have learn where your place is, come, come he said gesturing to her, if you can satisfy me then I won't kill your kin but if you can't you know what will happen. After he said those words, sound of pleasure could be heard.

Fast forward to nine months after...

My queen, is it time yet, the maidservant asked as she saw the expression on the queen face.

Yes, call the imperial doctors and also notify the emperor, said the queen.

Running out of the chamber, the maid did as she was told. Later on, screams could be heard as the queen was in labour after two hours the cry of a baby was heard.

It is a boy, but why is his eye completely white, questions could be heard as the imperial doctors look at the small prince, wouldn't this be a coincidence with what the high priest said.

Quickly informed the emperor, the imperial doctor said.

The emperor was informed and instead of going there to look at the baby, he only told them to call him Akari.

Since that day onward, the consort and her baby was isolated to the farthest place of the palace, never to be heard of again.

(smiles, do you think that was all, no, the story is just about to start, that was just a brief history of prince Akari, but aren't you curious about the mother, who is she?)

Guess what?

This chapter is solely dedicated to prince Akari and his mother, a woman who taught her son and sacrifice herself selflessly to be everything for her son, teaching him everything he has to know about the kingdom and the world outside of it.

(recap)

A king without his crown, a farmer without his tools, went on a journey separately to see if they can find a successor. Why, asked the mother.

Hmm, I cant think of an answer now mother, what is bothering me is why we are in the darkest place, mother, I am seventeen this year and I have never interacted with anybody other than the eunuch, the maidservant and you, Why mother, why?

If you can answer my riddle, then I will answer your question.

Mother, I think I know the answer to the question you asked and the question I asked they both have the same answer. I know what to do.

Take this pendant, you will know what to do with it but don't lose it no matter what.

(Now, a brief history of the prince mother)

The prince mother, the last consort whose name was not even known by the emperor himself, was the only child of the peasant farmer and wife, albeit adopted was treated as if she was truly their daughter and when she was forcefully taken, they were grieved.

The prince mother has a special blood flowing in her vein, but who she really was no one knows not even her. In her blood, there are things that trigger broken memories which can be pass from her to her son. Another thing is the pendant, it can conceal itself on the carrier and can also defend if the carrier will it.

(and that is all we need to know about the mother, an unknown origin that can't be trace).
