THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episodes 17. The message from Jisso's grandmother.

Today I feel reluctant to do the exercises. For some reason my feelings were erratic, something seemed to be happening inside the Suji Kingdom palace. I also tried to approach Yuka so that she would understand what I was feeling.

"I want to talk to you!" I said to Yuka at this time.

"What's the matter prince Kenzi? there seems to be something important you want to talk about." Yuka said with her innocent face.

"It looks like today we didn't do the exercises. I don't know why my body condition is declining, my feelings are uncertain. I thought about the situation inside the Suji Kingdom palace." My words while explaining to Yuka at this time.

"Well, if you're not feeling well today. You better rest and not train me today." Yuka said as if she understood what I was feeling.

"Alright, Yuka. Can you make me a bowl of soup? today I'd love to eat some warm soup." I said to Yuka as I asked for help so she made me a bowl of soup.

"Of course I can, Kenzie. Wait a minute, will you? I'll make you a bowl of really good soup." Yuka said as she passed away and then she went to the kitchen to make a bowl of soup at this time.

Not long after Yuka went to the kitchen, there was a knock on the door.

Tok tok tok tok tok.

The sound of knocking on the door from the outside, it seemed like someone was approaching me at this moment. I immediately peeked out from behind the window, there was no way I would open it right away without me checking first. As I stared outwards, it turned out to be Jae Jun. I finally opened the door and let him in.

"Prince, there's important news for you right now." Jae Jun said with a very panicked look on his face.

"You've entered first, don't speak now. I finally pulled her hand and Jae Jun is currently inside the hut.

I immediately shut the door of this hut tightly, I don't want anyone to see our conversation.

"What's up, Jae Jun? you seem to be feeling worried right now." I asked my personal bodyguard named Jae Jun.

"Look at the prince, there was a terrible commotion. This was caused by the emperor keytaro. Since the departure of Prince Kenzi, Emperor Keytaro has been increasingly involved. He rampaged inside the Suji Kingdom palace. Even he asked for groceries to be supplied to the Keytaro Kingdom at this time." Jae Jun said with eyes that showed sadness.

"What?? emperor Keytaro could have acted when I was not in the Suji Kingdom, but I could not leave Yuka alone. Tell you what, please take good care of Yuka. Teach him basic techniques, I'll be right back after I meet Emperor Keytaro." I said to Jae Jun at the moment.

While we were discussing, Yuka suddenly came to bring me a bowl of soup that I ordered earlier.

"Prince Kenzi, it turns out Jae Jun is here. This is the one bowl of soup you ordered ready for the Prince to eat." Yuka said innocently, I finally grabbed the one bowl that was in her hand then I immediately spoke softly to Yuka.

There was a riot there caused by Prince Keytaro. Are you willing to wait in this hut with Jae Jun? he's been sent by me to keep you here." My words slowly explained what was going on.

"I'm not really a problem, Prince Kenzi. If you want to return to the Suji Kingdom first. Go ahead, but I'm worried if you can't go back to this hut ." Yuka said with concern.

I was silent and then I sat down without speaking a word, I enjoyed this soup slowly because I wanted a bowl of warm soup. After I finished it then I immediately grabbed my bag as I was about to rush off to the Suji Kingdom, but there was a slip of mail falling down at this moment. I grabbed it and I read it immediately.

"There's this letter.., I seem to have forgotten something. I need to read this letter now. From the beginning Grandma Jisoo has left this letter to read with you, Yuka. Before I leave, I'd better read this letter. Will you be ready Yuka, to accompany me to read the letter?" I asked Yuka by showing her the piece of paper that I was currently holding.

"Well prince, let's read it together." Yuka nodded her head, as she agreed to read this letter. I slowly opened the letter and we both read carefully, how surprised I was when I found out the truth. Only half of this letter I read, I was surprised by the contents of this letter and we looked at it while we were surprised.

"Yuka's.. Is this letter really?" I asked Yuka.

Yuka shook her head as she did not understand what her grandmother had written.

"Prince Kenzi, we'd better continue until we've finished reading. Let us understand what this letter is really about." Yuka advised me to continue reading this letter. Finally we both read it back to the end of the sentence written by Jisoo's grandmother,

"You must take care of each other, if you love each other. Suzuka is the older sister of Yuka, while Kenzie is the son of a concubine named Keiko. Suzuka and Yuka are the children of Emperor Keytaro while Kenzi is the son of Emperor Suji. You keep this secret good for supplies later if there are obstacles when you fight." The last words my grandmother wrote in this letter.

Yuka cried bitterly, as she did not believe the reality she received. I feel the same way now. This pain was so turbulent to the emperor Keytaro.

"How could my father's whole life be harmed by that evil emperor?" I hit the table in front of me.

Brak.

The sound of the desk bang I was currently hitting, I clenched my hand as I held the burning emotion at this moment.

"What's wrong with you guys? What's going on?" Ask Jae Jun at this time.

"Jae Jun, I must go to Suji Kingdom immediately. I must give the calculation to the evil emperor." Kenzie said firmly to Jae Jun. But I forgot that Yuka was beside me, that in reality this girl was the biological child of Emperor Keytaro.

"Prince Kenji, did you forget Emperor Keytaro was my father. Please don't hurt him, I've never felt a father's affection" he said, leaving my heart broken, at once I was struck by a very worried feeling but I tried to explain this to Yuka.

"Yuka's.. Hear that. Even though your father was bad to me and my father. But this has nothing to do with you, let the bad get the consequences. In fact, Emperor Keytaro was your father. Trust me, Yuka. I want to solve this problem well." My words gave understanding to Yuka at this time. Finally I went to the Royal Palace using the horse used by Jae Jun, while Jae Jun accompanied Yuka to be in this hut.
