KIKIYO
the journey home

Yamato hugged him tightly, after entering a village crossed by his horse carriage, kikiyo looked outwards, very quietly, but as she looked downwards, she looked at him,

It turned out that everyone was prostrating on the ground when they saw the emperor passing through them.

"Em, why are they all prostrating like that?" said kikiyo

"That's their sign of respect for this emperor."

"Are you a man of great honor?,"

"Not really, but it's been like that before."

Yamato said lying.

Actually it was not like this, every citizen who saw the imperial carriage passing by would surely bend his body and shout that the emperor lived to be three times longer and they were very happy.

After Yamato was born and liked to follow his parents' journey to go to the neighboring empire,he strongly rejected such respect because he thought it was very noisy so he asked all the people to prostrate and not speak in the slightest otherwise they would be punished.

"Are you an emperor who likes to oppress your own people?." Kikiyo said as if she did not know about Yamato's background.

"Of course not dear, it's just a rumor hahaha."

"There are rumors about you."

Kikiyo's tone was full of questioning

"Eh,Hem, why can't we talk about the others, for example like later we'll have how many children, so."

"Gosh."(-_-)

Before long the horse-drawn carriage stopped while still passing through the village, there was a mother who was carrying a baby dragged by two soldiers because the baby he carried did not stop crying, the soldier was afraid it would make the emperor angry.

Kikiyo rushed to get out but Yamato blocked the door of his carriage.

"Where are you going, baby."

"I'm curious to see."

"Alright, I'll also come down."

The soldier holding the mother and baby wanted to smother the baby's mouth when they saw the emperor coming down from the carriage.

"Stop, you can make him die." Said kikiyo while rushing towards the soldier who was smothering the baby's mouth.

After reaching kikiyo immediately took and kicked the soldier to fall to the ground.

"Damn it, let go of the baby's mother."

The soldier was confused, but upon seeing Yamato's eyes, he immediately took it off.

The mother of the baby's body trembled violently in fear, kikiyo approached her,

"This is your son, madam."

"Thank you, your majesty, if it were not for your majesty it would have been a slave child,."the baby's mother cried as she spoke.

"Surely your baby is hungry that's why he cried, here's takeah."kikiyo took out five gold coins.

"Thank you very much, your majesty ."

Just now the baby's mother was willing to pay her respects but immediately detained kikiyo.

"Stand up, I understand for now because your body is still very weak."

The woman left feeling calm, kikiyo returned to the horse carriage.

When his steps were approaching Yamato, there was an arrow shot towards kikiyo, with Yamato swiftly pulling at kikiyo's waist for him to hug and dodge the arrows.

"You're okay, baby."

"Yes, of course because your movements are fast too."

Yamato was very happy to get praise from kikiyo, so at least he could make kikiyo need him.

"Protect your majesty" shouted a general who was with the entourage.

All the soldiers rushed towards the emperor and surrounded Yamato and the kikiyo who were in the arms.

Hugo and Muso went straight for the one who dared to attack the emperor as well as the empress,

Yamato asked kikiyo to get back on the train,

"I want to see."

"Danger dear."

"But I'm curious."

"There was Muso and Hugo chasing."

"Ih, you're a nyebelin."

Yamato instead became unable to bear to not devour kikiyo's lips.

Kikiyo tried to let go of the kiss but could not, now she could only give up.

Their faces met Yamato sticking his forehead over the kikiyo.

"Dear."

"Hem."

"Love me, I'll try hard to change."

"I will try to love, but never be someone else or change anything that is in you if you feel comfortable with yourself now,change little by little for the sake of the people and this empire becomes more prosperous no matter."

"Thank you, baby."

"Yes." Yeah."

The kikiyo and Yamato's entourage return on a journey towards the central imperial palace,

Somewhere, in the residence of an imperial minister, a woman was screaming hysterically.

"Akh, damn it, my plan failed because of that village girl."

"Please don't be like this lady, it will only hurt the lady herself." said a servant.

"Relax, now I can calm down, when I get information that the Emperor has found the woman he has been looking for, what else is the woman now in this middle empire, this is the Emperor, traveling alone with my emperor, sleeping with him, I'm afraid." the woman was already like a madman.

"What if the lady asks the hit man to kill the woman, miss."

The woman looked directly at her servant.

"You, clever, and I know who I can tell to do this job" he said with a cynical smile

The woman was preparing to meet someone she knew, she wanted to meet the aunt to ask for help from the uncle who was the leader of the middle of a secret army.

He doesn't know at all but, a lot of rumors say that the uncle entered into a secret assassin organization.

After finishing the makeup, the woman rushed to leave her residence, to go to see her mother first to ask for support.

He arrived in front of his mother's house,

"Mother."

"Yes my daughter, what are you here for."

"Mother, I'd like to ask my mother for help to go to my uncle's house."

"Why again, didn't you ask your uncle for help a while ago."

"Yes, but it's all a mother's failure."

"Why, maybe?."

"Because the woman helped heal the emperor while being paraded."

Brakkk

The sound of someone hitting the table.

"Learn how dare he interfere with our grand plans."

"Yes mother now we must ask uncle for help."

"Yes you're right, baby, let's go.

Yamato as an emperor did have some ministers to assist him in carrying out the vision and mission of the middle empire.

But there was one Mentri who wanted to defect, he was the middle imperial defense minister who was in control to ask for some generals in the middle empire.

And also he got some support from the general side, the Minister also has a younger brother who is married to a man who became one of the leaders of the secret assassin organization.

Making him even bigger head to immediately obtain this middle imperial throne.

Elsewhere, the horse-drawn carriage that Kikiyo and Yamato were riding in had entered the central imperial capital, the cry of the people heard the sound of the people welcoming the emperor home safely.

"May the emperor be healthy and long-lived." Speak to all the people who are there.

Kikiyo who heard the joyful voice immediately wanted to look at the window.

"There's something strange." said kikiyo as she stared out the window.
