Akitos's Condition

Akito Rosa returned to the kingdom, the guardian Liferia ordered his puppets to create formation in the forbidden land. As he was setting everything up, he used his four strongest puppets to be the host of nature's energy in order to release the strongest barrier, to protect not only his forest but to keep the evil entity inside the forbidden land.

"Father the king, I have returned" Akito kneeled at the center of the king's palace as his father seating on his throne and looked at him with serious faces, the ministers looking at him with some deep smile of respect, some with mockery and some who had sort of ideas in their minds to Akito.

"You still have face return to the kingdom, tell me did you enjoy not attending the banquet in the Terun Kingdom, the minister that is with you told me you left the banquet before it even started.. my bastard child did you know how much slap in the face you gave our kingdom if not for the minister that is with you dealing with it and appeasing the royals of the Terun kingdom everything would have been more complicated" The king was seriously angry at Akito because of how Akito acts in the kingdom, not only he did not care about nobility he also acts as a commoner visiting every place and using the countries money to build a project that the nobility could not even get any benefit from. Even still, he was the first prince of the kingdom and couldn't be detrimental to his heir, even though his favorite child was the second prince, he couldn't take back his word that the first prince was his heir of the throne in public if he couldn't get a good reason for taking it back or else he would slap his own face...

As the farce between the king and minister was happening, Zurawa watched to the right side of the king smiling at Akito while he nod at the exact time no one was paying attention to him. When Akito saw Zurawa nodding at him, he bowed down not to the king's words but to show respect to Zurawa as his older brother and master who taught him the art of sword when he was young, even though he was not really related to him, he was the one who respected Akito's action and protecting him not only from other minister but to the king that's why the king can't be detrimental because he knows if did even Zurawa will show his sword to protect the first prince.

"Go back to Terun kingdom and kneel to the royal family to appease their disappointment. We can't lose our alliance with them or else I will strip your title and everything you have" he looked at Zurawa for any reactions to his words when he saw Zurawa ignoring his words he already know that he hit the spot where even zurawa can't give any dissatisfaction to his words because its true they need the alliance with the Terun kingdom. Before he could smile, Akito said his words, which made him slightly angry.

"Yes, on one condition, I want to borrow the strength of the army. I don't need a lot. I just want my troops and a strong sword master to guard me. I also want my sick sister to accompany me on my travel, you already know my sister can't make it I want to honor my words. Father, please grant me this, and in return, I will kneel and bow my head to the Terun kingdom and I'm willing to step back into my own position as an heir of your throne" as they heard Akito's condition, the king and ministers were greatly startled to his words, even the second prince who was at the back of the ministers who were laughing and enjoying his brother's shame was startled by his words. There was a great commotion inside the palace because of the first prince's words. Some ministers who had seen Akito's works and kindness tried to convince him, but some ministers who are voting for the second and other princes used the opportunity and tried to apply for approval to the king for the first prince's condition and request, they always wanted their candidates to sit on the throne, so such opportunity can't be wasted for them even the second prince coax his father to grant Akito's request because he knows this is the best time to do so before his stupid older brother the first prince Akito Rosa take's back his words.

As the king was thinking about Akito's words and the sudden turn of events, first he asked the first prince Akito why he needed his troops and a swords master to go to the Terun kingdom. If his request was just to take his dying sister, then he would just throw out his word and even make preparations for both of them to leave. He didn't need a too righteous prince who would waste his money on the commoner or a princess who was dying from divine poison. He would just waste money to make her live and as long as they both travel they could take the opportunity to assassinate both of them or let the princess just die on the way without the blood warlock stopping the divine poison. Every month the princess would die in a month or weeks without any medical check-up. But for the troops, some of Akito's personal soldiers are strong bloodline users who followed him of their own volition. Not even the second prince's sweet words and money attracted the troops of the first prince. Why would he let go of such capable troops if he could use them for his own benefit? This would also make sure the plan of assassination could succeed.

"Why do you need all your troops in this, you just gonna visit the Terun kingdom to appease them"

"To answer Father the king, I found a good dungeon to train my troops. It has good grounds for training. I want to leave some of them in that area while we proceed in the Terun kingdom. After I return, I want to clear that dungeon with my troops to let them have more experience and sharpen their environmental combativeness". Akito gave a brief explanation. his father was a bit tempted to take the dungeon for himself and train his own troops, and such dungeons mean there are at least treasure or even better relics, but if he really became greedy now it would really bite him making the first prince take back his word. He was really pitted to choose, he could only grip his throne handle and swallow his anger because he knew what was best to choose out of the two.

"Alright by my name, as king Anui Rosa, I grant you permission to take one hundred of your troops and.." before he could say more, Zurawa immediately volunteered to be the prince together with Tera and Ranga, which greatly cost a commotion again, and this time Akito also said his peacemaking to the king making him angrier, but only swallow it, in the end, he allowed Zurawa his right hand and the strongest sword master in Rosa kingdom together with Sniper Queen and Hammering lord to volunteer because he knows that Zurawa and the others really favor Akito for the throne if he won't allow it everything that was discussed with other ministers would go in vain.

After everyone leaves, the king, with a serious and ugly look on his face, calls his shadow guardian, one of 3 guardians of the kingdom. The shadow guardian is not as strong as Zurawa, but he has the best blood ability that could hide his presence and stay in the shadow of a person and kill them as an assassin could. In an instant in the shadow of the hall, there was a man who appeared out of nowhere.

"Your majesty what can I do for you," the shadow bowed to the king with all his body dressed in black with a half mask on his face on his waist 2 daggers could be seen and on his back was a bow. He was always ready for combat and in order to fulfill the words of the king.

"Send this to the pavilion. I don't care how much it costs to let them assassinate my stupid, bastard son and sickly daughter. I didn't need them to even enter the Terun territory just make it so that no trace could be left behind. The assassin should be a bloodline holder like Zurawa so that he could not be discovered by those three that followed him or else everything would be lost cause "

the shadow guardian slightly looked at the king with some disappointment but could not do anything, he was neutral, after all, he swore on his name and blood that he would only protect the king and its ideals for the kingdom just like any other shadow guardian that's been before him.

"Yes your majesty, I fulfill my mission in delivering your letter and words to the pavilion" he accepted the orders of the king and again blends with the shadow of the Hall again and disappears as if nothing happen.

After a day, Akito gathered one hundred of his best troops together with Zurawa, Tera and Ranga as they were preparing to set out. Akito, with two escorts of maids, was with him escorting a sickly 9yr-old girl in one of the three carriages with a full of cloth on her body. Akito half kneeled to the ground in front of his sister and caressed her cheek with love and care. Akito was only thinking of his sister who was his only important family. He would rather trade all his riches and title, even his life to save her little sister, and now he finds hope he won't let anyone stop him. He bet everything on this chance and all his troops that he treats as his family and friends join him for this even his older brother/master came to his aid in his mind there is no room for mistake, no not this time.

"Ah.. my little Sister, you don't have to worry this brother of yours will fulfill his promise. You will also see my new friend. I hope you don't get scared easily or else hehe"

"Brother, don't do anything stupid. All I need is you and our family" the pale little girl, was mature in his attitude and love his brother who was there when no one was.

" Of course, I won't. We will still go on our adventure didn't we agree? Just keep this a secret alright I found a cure and were going to take it with the help of our friends in the forest so don't get scared all right"with a serious and very weak voice while smiling at his last words.

On the terrace of the palace, the king was watching both the brother and sister in their farce. He was really angry at Akito. He didn't say a word or bade goodbye nor to even say a safe journey he just watched from afar and turned his back. In the south of the kingdom's city wall, an unknown man was hiding in the darkness with ten other lackeys of his. Their aura was completely concealed and couldn't be detected. They were on the lookout for the troops and carriage of the first prince waiting for him to leave the city.

"Soldiers, Form line protect the prince and the princess," Ranga gave orders with his loud voice the team form their formation started to move with Ranga in his hoarse at the front, Zurawa and Tera on one of the carriages also resting having their own worlds located on the left side of the prince carriage with his sister and 2maids chatting happily like he was not a prince sometimes he said stories and laugh with the maid and sometimes he plays like he was the younger one while his sister lecture him with real voice but with a tender smile on his face and the last carriage was located at their right side the carriages was stuck with their food and other necessities....as they travel the road of no return...
