The God of War
Crown Prince Nobuhide's Wedding
After resting for quite a while, they now began to resume their journey to head to the Maeda empire. They arrived at Maeda's palace before dusk.
The Maeda Empire warmly welcomed the arrival of the crown prince from Nobubide along with the rest of the royal family. And they also gave the banquet very well and had already prepared a place to rest for them for a few days. Because the crown prince still has to discuss his marriage between himself and the crown princess Maeda.
Even this proposal was also well received by the Maeda palace family. Because these two empires also knew each other well. Even the relationship between emperor Nobuhide and emperor Maeda was like a friend.
The next day, the wedding was also held in luxury at the palace of Maeda. They invited the people of Maeda as well as several clans, a stronghold not far from the Maeda palace. Several other families from the palace were also present to fulfill this wedding invitation. Even the celebration and wedding ceremony is also held for several days.

That night, Zhou was seen pensively on the terrace of a pavilion. He stared at the moon accompanied by several stars that adorned the dark night sky.
The sounds of the animals in the wild broke the silence of this cold and desolate night. Because some people had already returned to sleep and rest in their respective rooms.
The blowing night wind felt so strong and cold, and made the reddish and yellowish leaves still fall.
Angan Zhou was still filled with pieces of his past memories. Zhou still felt so devastated by the fateful events that had befallen him. What his own half-brother did to him. It still feels very hard to believe all that.
How can treasures and thrones blind the eyes and make someone so cruel as not to have a heart? It's smirking!
If it was just power, it was possible that Zhou would prefer to budge. As long as his family can live in peace and happiness. But his half-brother apparently even with his insistence poison himself to throw it on the cliff of the valley of death at that time.
"Why did you just come back? Aren't you just assigned to deliver the invitation to Fumio's palace? Are you lost? Haha ..." suddenly there was a conversation of the soldiers who were passing not far from Zhou.
"No. I just had a little chat with the residents of Fumio. I feel very sorry for them." said one of the soldiers who had not even taken off his armor.
"Why?" ask the other soldier to know.
Hearing the father's empire was now being discussed by them, now increasingly made Zhou to want to listen to it more.
And it actually happened that Zhou also wanted to know what the current Fumio palace was like. The palace that Zhou lived in since childhood, and he had to leave it because of the actions of Zeus.
"The present "Fumio Empire is very different. Unlike the old days who always mengomurkan people and always unite the people. Ever since the crown prince Zeus succeeded the emperor during the emperor Fumio's illness, things have been very chaotic and messy. People say they become very selfish and only attach importance to the palace family. They often employ their people excessively, always suppressing and even oppressing the people. The crops or the mines are always handed over to the palace. They only pay a little for the people. It's so sorry."
The man told me with a face that also looked sad.
"You're right, Tanjuro! How shiny! And do you know I heard from one of the servants there, if the crown prince Zeus and the queen mother treated the emperor Fumio so badly when the emperor Fumio was sick." said the soldier starting to lower his voice.
But all of that was very clearly heard by Zhou who was currently starting to clench his hands. His jaw started to harden. While his pair of eyes started to water a little and blush because it was already filled with anger.
If it was just him who was harmed by Zeus, perhaps it could still be tolerated by Zhou. But this time it was his own father. Zhou would not forgive that person.
Moreover, if until Zhou found out if Zeus was the one who made his father sick, maybe Zhou will come and take the life of Zeus and his stepmother.
It's just that, all that Zhou can't do right now. Because Zhou still had and carried a responsibility as a warlord of the Nobuhide empire.
At least Zhou must devise a mature plan to avenge him and to reclaim all that should be his. And of course the ultimate goal is to save the emperor Fumio and the people of Fumio.
A peaceful life and world Zhou would recreate! Although there must be bloodshed to fight against his own half-brother. Justice and truth must be done!!

The next day Nobuhide's court family began to say goodbye to immediately return to Nobuhide's palace. And this time they will return to Nobuhide with a gift of a beautiful daughter-in-law to the emperor Nobuhide.
The emperor Maeda and the queen mother let go of them completely because they had to part with their eldest daughter. But inevitably they have to let go.
Because that's the consequence. If you have a daughter, then one day the princess must marry and leave her parents because they have to come with her husband and serve for the husband.
"Why do I feel so familiar when I see a new warlord from Nobuhide's empire? Have I met him before?" murmured emperor Maeda when he saw the departure of Nobuhide's palace family through the terrace of his palace.
"His face is very handsome and handsome. Like a prince, isn't it, my husband?" replied the Queen Mother who was standing right beside him while pulling the corners of her lips to form a smile.
"Hmm? Do you intend to match her with our youngest daughter, my wife?" the emperor turned to throw a question at his wife while looking at her.
"If Yue is willing, I don't mind. How about you, my husband?" the queen mother now even berbalil ask again with a face that is still decorated with a smile. "Their warlords are quite young and handsome. And of course his ability in war is also no doubt." he continued.
"Huftt .. I will discuss it with emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide first. After all our daughter is very young (18 years old). Better not to hurry ...we better take a short walk hanami near kui. Come .." said the emperor Maeda began to pitch and was followed by the queen mother and several palace guards.
