THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episodes 18. Kenzi's meeting with Emperor Suji.

With an uncertain feeling, I also rode on the white horse that I used to use. It was fortunate that Jae Jun used this white horse, so that I could cooperate with my mount. Throughout the journey my tears were breaking, how could Empress Yiza betray my biological father.

My heart rate was so tight, it was as if I could not hide this anger. However, I must save my father at this time, lest my father be deceived by the evil woman and the cunning emperor who is currently interfering with the security of the Suji Kingdom.

When I arrived in front of the kingdom, I immediately ran to find my father.

"Where is your father?" Shouted me as if not paying attention to the entire palace at the moment.

"O my son, where have you been? I'm worried about you, son." Say to my father with such a sad face. It seemed like he was completely confused facing the emperor Keytaro.

"Dad, can I talk to you? There are a few things you should know, but these are for both of us." My words to my father, the look on my face seemed to describe like I was confused. How not, what I said must have made a big question in his mind.

"All right, son. Let's go to the Amanta River there is a place for fathers to contemplate. Hurry up my son, soon we'll board the royal chariot at this time." Say it with my hand, as if he wants to know immediately what I want to say now.

At this time I was on the train with my father, seen from the look on my face describing anxiety. I can't wait to know what I'm trying to say. Arriving at my destination, I saw a beautiful river. It is fitting that my father often visited this place because this place is a very very comfortable place for us to contemplate, I finally got down this train and I sat on a rock.

"My son, you shall speak. Now it's just me and you, there's not a single person who can hear our conversation." Pinta dad to me while he can't wait to find out what I want to talk about.

"Dad.. Is it true that Emperor Keytaro pressured the Suji Kingdom to supply food to the Kingdom of Keytaro?" I nervously asked while looking at my father's sad face.

"O my son, I have known Keytaro for a long time. He always cheated on me, whatever he did to destroy me as if I were his greatest rival. When you were by my side, not at all did he try to overstep my throne. But when you're not on the throne, he puts a lot of pressure on me. Even utilizing the Suji Kingdom for the prosperity of his Kingdom." Said father with a tone so heavy, his voice so softly made me even more sad with his statement.

"Gee, my dad. Did you know about the truth that was actually hidden by Empress Yiza." My words to my father surprised my father. How could I call my mother Empress Yiza, as if I were talking about a stranger in front of her.

"My son Kenzi, why do you call your mother empress. Have you not considered your mother anymore?" Speak to my father with the current emphasis on him.

"Kenzi, do you know Consort Jisoo? She's been missing for a long time, I don't know where she is either. Somehow Jisoo's departure implied a big question mark on my father's mind. Is there a secret I don't know?" Just ask me.

"You better read this letter first, so you can understand what I'm saying. I don't want to talk much, let me know for myself." My heart to my father at this time, I finally took out a piece of paper that held many secrets in it and now my father grabbed it quickly. My father read it immediately, after this letter was finished being read by my father. Suddenly Dad started to tear and he hugged me at this moment.

Bruggh..

The hug that was so tight right now to me then she cried while saying something that shocked my heart. O my son Kenzi, there are too many secrets that Yiza has hidden behind me. But I'm proud to have you, and I've been thinking about Keiko for a long time. Keiko is your real mother, somehow Yiza cannot give offspring to me. Though in fact he had been in a dark relationship with the emperor Keytaro." Said my father with his tears occasionally.

"Dad... Hear Me. An Emperor Suji must not be weak in the presence of a woman, we must give calculations to Yiza as well as Keytaro. But the problem today is that the poor girl with me is none other than the son of Yiza. He had a much different temperament, he was very delicate and kind-hearted. Perhaps this is thanks to the guidance of Concubine Jisoo, I don't want this girl to get hurt because of Suzuka. Suzuka had challenged him to battle in the Black Valley." I said to my father firmly.

"Huh, what did you say? Black valley? It is outrageous that the boy, I want to drive them out of the palace. However, if I were to directly expel him, I would not be able to take revenge tactics to the Keytaro Kingdom." Said father while clenching his hands.

"Patience first, father. We should think clearly, whatever has happened is beyond our will. But we must be able to distinguish between what is good and what is evil today. We must protect Yuka from Suzuka's attack, I will continue to teach Keytaro a lesson. Dad can you help me command Master the weaponry to guide Yuka to make her a knight?" I said, pleading with my father.

My father was silent at this moment, it seemed like he was thinking then suddenly my father said what I wanted.

"Gee, son. Whatever you want I will grant you because you are my only son and the only successor of the Suji Kingdom. I trust you and I'm sure you'll be a fair leader." Dad's words make me happy.

"Alright, dad. After we return home from this place, we must strategize so that we can teach the emperor Keytaro a lesson. We stop the flow of springs to the Kingdom of Keytaro, let the people feel hungry until they we are free to become the people of the Kingdom of Suji." I looked at my father's face sharply.

"Good idea, my son. That way he would regret dealing with Suji Kingdom. You're a very smart boy, I'm proud to have a son like you." Said my father by patting me on the shoulder.

"Alright, dad. Let's go back inside the Royal palace, immediately send the weaponry teacher to go to Green Hill because that's where Jae Jun and Yuka are." I said to my father by passing away on the train of Suji Kingdom.
