"Ghou!!"
As Zhou's entourage was about to leave Nobuhide's empire, a man ran up to him and called out his name aloud.
He was also escorted by some of the palace's soldiers, as he was still under surveillance and would likely soon be sentenced to a dungeon for some time which had been determined by the emperor Yoshinao. He is Luo.
Zhou turned around and looked at Luoyi flatly. However Luoyi immediately gave his salute to Zhou. And this was the first time he had done so sincerely.
"Luoyi, is there something you want to tell me?" tanya Zhou flat.
Luoyi took a deep breath then took it out slowly to catch her breath back.
"Zhou ... uhm ... no! I mean the first prince of Hades, can I talk to you for a minute?" luyio looked doubtful, as he felt unsure if Zhou would give the time to him.
Zhou was silent for a while, until he finally started to answer, "I'll talk to Luoyi for a while" he told one of the Fumio soldiers and walked away from his entourage.
Zhou headed to a bridge over a river not far from his entourage waiting. While Luoyi was tailing him and continued to glance at him with a gaze that was very different from usual.
If you usually always look at Zhou with a look of disdain, then the gaze this time more respect and disdain towards him.
"What's wrong?" tanya Zhou looked straight ahead at the river that had clear water.
"Prince Hades. I want to apologize to you for my attitude towards you. I have done you much wrong, even to all of them. I am evil and heartless. And I regret having been on the side of the emperor Zeus. I am so sorry ... I'm sorry .." said Luoi regretfully.
"I've contributed a lot to every move and evil plan of the emperor Zeus. I was also one of the men behind the attack on our village, I was the one who ordered Takeda's soldiers to put hemlock's poison in your food and Toshie's prince, I was the one who sent you a painting for the emperor Zeus. I am so sinful! I was guilty!!" luyi added with a trembling voice.
"I was so stupid that I could do all that. I was so stupid for taking sides and helping him back then. And .. and that's all I did just because I wanted to destroy you. I'm sorry, Zhou .. I'm sorry ..."
Luoyi's pair of eyes were already reddened and teary, even her voice had already sounded more and more raucous.
"I'm such a fool! And now ... Now I've lost my father. In front of me he killed my father! I couldn't even save him back then!! The person I respect the most and cherish the most in this world, has been killed by Zeus in front of me!! I really feel really bad and useless!!"
This time Luoyi was powerless to hold back her crying again as she recalled the moments her father had laid before her at that moment.
Zhou glanced at Luoyi staring at her, but there was nothing she could do, except to give her advice.
"Better late, than never to change at all. You can still make up for all your past mistakes and sins, Luoyi! Keep up with all this! Think well of all this! After your sentence is over, change and redeem everything! The devotion and sacrifice of Daimyo Nobunaga is enormous! Continue the fight on the right path!"
Said Zhou staring fixedly at Luoyi who was now also looking at him.
Zhou shook his head slowly and patted Luoyi's broad shoulder, "No. They won't give you the death penalty. In any case, it is because of you that we can destroy the fragment of Zeus' soul and seal it in another world through that portal. Prove to them all if you can change. And you do deserve to be a good and competent warrior!"
"Excite, Luoyi ... my brother!! Because I never thought of you as an enemy! I never hated you either. We even came from the same village and grew up developing in Nobuhide empire together!" zhou carved out a thin smile adorning his handsome face.
Luoyi's thin lips trembled, her tongue as if it was a mute listening to Zhou's words. He was very sorry and very bad in front of Zhou. He had done everything dirty all this time to get rid of even to draft Zhou, but Zhou had never grudged or hated him at all.
"Remember my message, always do good and assume good. Never look down on others. Even if he looks so low, it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be appreciated. Something that looks simple from the cover, it could be storing something very valuable."
Zhou's words were reassuring, and increasingly made Luoyi regret her past self that never appreciated Zhou. In fact, he just considers Zhou like trash who is not worthy of getting anything, including Lily and Azzael Shin Guto's heirloom.
"All right! I gotta get going. They were waiting. Bye bye!" Zhou patted Luoyi's broad shoulder twice then turned around and sauntered away leaving him.
Zhou soon found his entourage again and began to ride his white horse and gave orders to immediately begin the journey to the Fumio empire which was quite far away.
Their entourage grew further away, but Luoyi, Yaoyao and Nagamasa were still staring at their departure as everyone had already passed into the palace again.
Somehow these three men felt heavy enough to let go of Zhou and his entourage.
Commander Zhou ... not .. but prince Hades .. I hope someday I can see you again. Even though you are actually from the Fumio empire, I still admire you a lot! We are so great and awesome!
Nagamasa's mind was still staring at their departure.
Empress Nouhime, I'm sorry. Because I can't find Prince Kenshin and princess Saika. I can't bring them for you. If only I were stronger, if only then the war could have been resolved sooner. The loss of a loved one was very chest-stifling. I can still remember so clearly, when I lost both of my parents back then, even all of that happened in front of me directly! Sorry ... I was so weak and could not defeat commander Nakai at that time. If only I had been a little stronger .. none of this would have happened .. never ...
Inner Yaoyao still felt guilty over all of this. He was still staring at the departure of Zhou's entourage.
Zhou, I'm going to change! I'm not going to waste any of this!
Inner Luoyi who was also still staring at their departure.
"Luoy! Prince Toshie gave the order to immediately take you to the dungeon!" said a palace soldier and then blocked one of Luoyi's hands.
Then the other soldier immediately blocked the other Luoyi's hand again and immediately led her to a building connecting her to the dungeon.
