Court Rebellion

"Mr. Oka... Do you have any clue where Prince Oji could have went?" Mr. Oka lifts his hands to show his innocence. Galliun points his sword at Mr. Oka.

"Prince Oji has seemingly disappeared... He's not in the castle... Nor is he anywhere in the town... Where. Is. Prince. Oji!?" Mr. Oka gulps.

"I have no clue... Plus he hates me... How could I do anything to him if he won't let me close??" Galliun growls as a mysterious tension fills the air. Galliun's eyes turning envy green.

"So does that mean you WERE planning on doing something to Prince Oji... Even AFTER you almost killed prince Frederic!? Galliun's teeth grow sharp as Mr. Oka's eyes widen.

The carriage was a beautiful light purple with gold accents. The windows were massive with bright purple curtains over them. The beautiful afternoon setting sun shining in. Oji looks across the cabin at Hannah who sits beside the royal messenger. The one who delivered the letter for the colosseum rambler.

"So... Tell me more about this Court of Appeals Rebellion..." Hannah looks up at Oji.

"Putting it simply... There are people... Both Royalty and Court members alike that like to believe the court of Appeals has to much power behind the scenes... And thus... The rebellion was formed" Hannah goes back to looking out the window. Oji sighing as he also looks out.

"Not regretting your decision already are we?" Oji looks back at Hannah.

"No... Just thinking to myself..." Hannah sighs.

"We're going to have to change your appearance" This grabs Oji's attention as he shockingly stares at her.

"Why-" Hannah looks out the window again. She quickly closes the curtain.

"Changing ones appearance is only part of it... The Court of Appeals has a special policy in place that forces every member to either change their name... Use codenames when at meetings... Or change appearance... For safety reasons..." Oji squints before looking away. Hannah opens the window back.

"This is only the beginning of your career within court of Appeals ranks" she turns to the window and smiles as she whispers to herself.

"It's also the beginning of the end... For RoeKanaoWorth as a country" Oji squints his eyes.

"Did you say something?" Hannah gasps and shakes her head.

"J-just talking to myself..." Oji gives her a suspecting glance before looking away.

"Okay" Hannah exhales.

Kiyoko digs through some drawers trying to find something as he sighs.

"Where did you go Oji...?" Kiyoko flops down on his bed.

"Wherever he is... Kiyoko... He's strong enough to protect himself... He'll be back soon..." Kiyoko flops over and sighs. Frederic leaning on the door.

"Even still... I'm still nervous... What's happening... Everything seems to be going by me at 100 miles an hour... And I can't do anything but watch as it flies by..." Frederic walks over and sits beside Kiyoko.

"Yeah... It's scary how fast time flies... True... We may have lost Oji for now... Eventually... You'll lose me too... I don't ever want to leave you behind... Kiyoko... But I don't think I could ever stay forever... In your life... I may just end up as a time pass... But one day you'll learn that the time spent with me or Oji... Albeit short... Was the best time ever... Learn to love what you have... Before life takes it away from you... And your forced to love what you had" Kiyoko takes a deep breath and sits up.

"Thanks... For that... Frederic..." Kiyoko smiles brightly. Frederic instantly recognizing it as a fake smile.

"Well... Dad's waiting for us at the table... So..." Kiyoko nods.

"Kay'!" Kiyoko walks out as Frederic watches sorrowfully. Frederic sighs as he looks down. He turns to look into the mirror hanging on the wall. He tries to fake smile like Kiyoko. He turns away and walks out.

Aristol sits in his chair as Kiyoko and Frederic walk in. There is a sadness in the hall between them. A few buttlers set the food. Frederic looks at Oji's empty seat. He picks up his fork and grabs a bite of his food. Steam exits his mouth.

Stomping echoes quickly in succession along with the sound of horses approaching the castle.

Frederic slowly chews the food. His throat gets heavy. His eyebrows loosen. He puts another bite of food in his mouth. Leaving the fork in his mouth.

The guards watch in horror as a large brigade of High Class Royal knights on horses and some carriages at the front arrive.

Kiyoko looks over and stops eating. Aristol slamming his hands on the table shocking the guards.

"F-Frederic!? Are you okay?" Frederic slowly chews his steaming food. Tears falling down his cheeks as his eyes water. Aristol rushes over.

"Talk to me Frederic... Please!" Without a word Frederic puts his fork down. He silently reaches over and hugs his dad. Aristol reaches down without a word and hugging Frederic back.

Oji sits in his carriage with Hannah as he watches the scenery pass.

One of the guards slam the door open.

"King Aristol Sir!" Aristol still hugging Frederic looks up. Slowly rubbing his hand over his head.

"T-t-the... A Royal..." Aristol pats Frederic's back as he silently cries into his shoulder.

"A Royal Caravan!" Aristol's eyes widen as he sits Frederic down.

"Okay, I'll be there shortly" Aristol looks at Kiyoko and Frederic.

"Dry your eyes Frederic..." He takes a tissue to Frederic's eyes. Frederic pushes Aristol's hand away shocking him. Aristol puts the tissue away. He sighs as he rests his hands on their shoulder.

"As of right now... Training is effective... But this should also be a time of growth as well... I'm sorry for not being the best father Frederic... There's a harsh reality... That you haven't reached yet... Nothing lasts forever... You have to be ready to grow... And fast..." Frederic sniffles a bit. Kiyoko is shocked.

"If you ever chase honey... You must expect to be stung by bees... Now we have business to attend to... And I need you two..." Aristol stands up and stretches his hand out.

"Come on... Step up to the plate... Take the new destiny given to you... For this may very well be the last chance you'll ever get" Kiyoko gulps and stretches his hand out. Frederic watches in awe as Kiyoko takes Aristol's hand. Kiyoko stands up as Frederic reluctantly takes Aristol's hand as well.
