The God of War
The Two Princes
Tonight is a full moon, exactly 3 months after the competition was held. Zhou, who was crossing a palace garden, accidentally saw Matzu's daughter standing still on a red bridge and looking at the night sky.
Worried about him, Zhou finally began to approach Matzu's daughter. Because in addition to being late enough, the night air is also getting colder, piercing up to the bone.
"Master Matzu's daughter, it's already very late. The princess should immediately rest to prepare for tomorrow. Because tomorrow princess Matzu must welcome the princes and knights. And the wedding will also take place on the same day" Zhou suggested to the princess.
"Commander Zhou, I'm confused and scared. What if tomorrow my father and I were going to make the wrong choice? I've been feeling really bad for a few days. I feel very worried .." said Princess Matzu full of worry.
"The princess need not worry and worry. This competition was organized with the intention to find a viable husband-to-be for Matzu's daughter. An honest and noble-hearted prince." said Zhou trying to appease Matzu's daughter.
"Hopefully my father and I can find the right winner .." said Matzu's daughter expectantly.
"Of course, Princess."
"alright. I'm going back inside. Thank you commander, Zhou.." said Matzu began to wander away from Zhou.
"Together, Princess Matzu."
...🍁🍁🍁...
The princes and knights who attended the contest that had been organized by the Nobuhide empire at that time immediately sought the buried land as a medium of planting Japanese maple seeds that had been given by the emperor Nobubide. They also give the best fertilizer and treat it painstakingly and patiently.
Three months after the full moon has arrived. The princes returned to Nobuhide's palace. When meeting each other with fellow princes, they boast of each other's plant development.
"The plant of my Japanese maple tree is growing very well and is growing well" said one prince confidently.
"Mine is also growing very well. Reddish in color and very beautiful." said the other prince again while looking at a chest brought by his soldiers.
The lungs of each prince and knight are now starting to put crates filled with Japanese maple plants that they have been caring for for 3 months.
Zeus only showed a flat face but was still full of confidence. Finally, a prince began to greet her.
"What about your plant, Prince Zeus?"
"My future maple plants can't grow as well as yours." replied Zeus soberly, but they did not diminish his confidence.
"Well, it's a pity ..."
Meanwhile, there was one prince who looked a little anxious. He is the prince of Sanada. The seeds he planted did not grow at all. The prince had even used the fertile soil and fertilized it. However, there are also no signs that the seeds are developing. Of course it made him feel very anxious.
The plants they planted in a pot and put yes in a wooden crate so as not to be seen. And the emperor Nobuhide was the first to see him. However, Emperor Nobuhide was also accompanied by the Zhou commander, who this time also wore a black cloth to cover his lower face.
But there are two pots that have no plants at all. The pot only contains fertile soil. This left Zhou and the emperor silent for a while.
One of the owners of a pot without a plant that was none other than the prince of Sanada was bowing his head. While the only owner who was none other than Zeus, still stood with a chest that puffed forward.
Meanwhile, the owner of the pot with a plant that thrives and is strong, now began to smile mockingly towards prince Sanada and prince Zeus.
Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide and commander Zhou observed all the pots back. These two men seemed to remain calm and dignified. However, Emperor Nobuhide looked at the Zhou commander, and the Zhou commander nodded slowly. It was as if this small matter would be able to handle them well.
“I have decided everything to get the winner.” said the emperor Nobuhide after standing from his throne with alternating views staring at the princes and knights.
The princes and knights with the best plants now began to smile confidently, feeling confident that the emperor would choose one of them . They are very eager to wait for the announcement of the winner.
Meanwhile, Prince Sanada was getting bowed and felt he had no hope anymore. It was very different from the prince Zeus who still looked so confident even though his plants did not grow at all. Prince Zeus was upset when he realized he still had a rival.
Damnit damnit!! Apparently I still have a rival!! Cihh .. but I'm still lucky. If Luoi hadn't told me all this, then maybe I would have really lost! This time I must successfully defeat prince Sanada!!
The inner Zeus felt very confident if he was the one who would be chosen to propose the daughter of Matzu.
Emperor Nobuhide walked towards the pot ranks in front of him. When he reached the pot without plants, the emperor stopped and gestured for Zhou.
Zhou, who understood, now immediately raised the two pots without the plant, and then raised parallel to his face with each hand.
“Whose is this?” ask the emperor Nobuhide.
Zeus raised his hand up, while prince Sanada still lowered his head in fear and shame instead of play. While the other princes and knights laughed inwardly.
Zeus's? Why did this happen? This is impossible ... Has something happened? Has anyone betrayed and been in Zeus' camp? Or was there a spy sent by Zeus in this palace?
Inner Zhou could hardly believe all this, if Zeus was one of the owners of the pot without the plant.
"Whose this pot belongs to?” reenact emperor Nobuhide again.
“Have I, His Majesty the Emperor." replied prince Sanada with cold sweat that flooded his body.
“Come prince Sanada and prince Zeus .. ” order of the emperor.
With trembling and no confidence, prince Sanada began to pitch and stand near the emperor Nobuhide. Unlike the prince Zeus who was still walking puffed the chest of his field with his gallant.
The emperor looked at Zeus and Sanada in turn. Make prince Sanada's guts more and more shriveled.
