THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Chapter 29. Emperor Keytaro and Emperor Suji.

POVS. EMPEROR KEYTARO

My existence has become a threat to Yiza and my daughter, as well as my current inner state. I also feel threatened by the birth of the crown prince named Kenzi. If my secret with Yiza is exposed, then woe to me. Not only am I the wretched one, but Yiza and my daughters will be threatened, but only now do I think about where my youngest is? Looks like Kenzi didn't play around to challenge me subtly. He tries to make tricks to get Alaku stuck by the two kingdoms deal.

My mind was turbulent, only the restlessness I felt was left today. My condition worsened as my people began to starve and thirst. The water source in my kingdom is very dry. If I make the slightest mistake, this kingdom will be liberated by the Suji Kingdom. I was pensive on the throne, I was thinking about how to tear down the Suji Kingdom.

There seems to be no more chance for me to rule that kingdom. Kenzi's figure is so influential in it, I must immediately plan something with Yiza. Right now I order one of my bodyguards to infiltrate into Suji kingdom.

"Sun.. Come here!" I said to my personal bodyguard.

"Greetings, Emperor keitaro. Is there anything I can help you with right now?" Saying from a personal bodyguard. "I command you now to infiltrate the Suji Kingdom. Meet Yiza and bring her here." I said to my current personal bodyguard.

Suddenly my bodyguard looks panicked, seen from the waves so very scared when he heard my orders.

"Sorry, Emperor Keytaro. It's really risky for me. Is there any other way I can meet Empress Yiza?" Ask from my personal bodyguard, and he strongly objected to him infiltrating the Suji Kingdom.

I understand what my bodyguard is feeling right now. Kenzi is a prince figure that should be taken into account, I also if the wrong step can fall into the trick.

"Sun, there's no more reason for you. Go to the Suji Kingdom. You met Yiza and that she's here." Speak from me at this time in a loud and firm voice.

Even my personal bodyguard did not dare to refuse, he immediately rushed off with the other members. After my bodyguard left, this mind felt very agitated. There was an erratic feeling like a premonition of my bad destiny. I try to play the harp that is in this kingdom. This is my way to calm myself from anxiety. I play this instrument while I hold back the inner upheaval that is flailing restlessly. So wary of this while waiting for the arrival of Yiza to come here. Three hours have passed, but my bodyguard has not yet arrived. I walked over there here, signifying the worry in my heart that was indeed very uncertain.

"Keytaro's.. Where're you?" Someone's voice rang out loud, it seemed like it was the voice of Emperor Suji. Woe to me right now, if indeed my bodyguard was caught by Emperor Suji's bodyguard. I immediately got up from my throne and I immediately approached the commotion that occurred in front of the kingdom.

"Can you be courteous to enter into the kingdom of others?" My words to the current Emperor Suji.

"No need to talk. Why did you order your bodyguards to infiltrate my kingdom?" Emperor Suji's heart was so enveloped in anger.

"Wait for Emperor Suji. What is this really about?" My words don't seem to know anything.

"O Emperor keytaro. Don't you ever trick us now. My father had a crown prince who was so intelligent. Your lies have been read by me, so confess. If it is you who ordered your personal bodyguards to infiltrate the Suji Kingdom. What exactly do you want? To the extent that you ordered your bodyguards to come infiltrate my kingdom." The words of a Prince Kenzi were straightforward, like he was laughing at me right now.

"Hi Keytaro's. Take care of your mouth, do you courteously towards the prince of the Suji Kingdom. I should have been angry with you. Do you think I don't know about your affair with Yiza. Don't be crazy, you're Keytaro." That speech surprised me so much. My eyes widened as well, when I heard his words at this moment.

"It's amazing of you, for years you cheated me and then you used it. Now I know about your affair with my wife." He said so angry at me.

"Oh.. So you already know about the affair with your wife? Good, if it's like that. I don't have to bother to explain this. I managed to fool you Suji." I said very arrogantly at this moment. I had to admit to a secret in the past. My price is at stake, in the eyes of both of them I've been very despicable.

" It is very cunning, Emperor Keyaro. Is there not another woman you can make a lover? Until my father's wife you took it too. Actually I don't care if Empress Yiza isn't my mother. But this pain in my heart is because you betrayed my father. For years, you have hidden the rot you have done. How do you think so that you still have the face to ask the Suji Kingdom for help." Prince Kenzi said as he insulted me at this time.

"Shut your mouth, Kenzi. Do you know that you are also not the son of an empress? You are the son of a concubine who lent her womb so that your father would have a son." I said while hurting Kenzi.

"Hey.. Emperor Keytaro. I am grateful to have been born to a very good mother. Everyone said that Consort Keiko was a good woman. Anyway, I'm still the flesh and blood of my father. Suzuka is your daughter. There was no blood entanglement from my father, not even a descendant from the Suji Kingdom. You better take your kids to stay with you now." Kenzi's words hurt me so much. How not what he said was true, but it was painful for me.

"That's it.. My son's. We'd better fight this bad guy." Said Emperor Suji who started to get emotional.

"So you want to fight with me? O Emperor Suji. What's the reward if I win the fight later?" I asked while negotiating with him, because I needed power right now. The state of my kingdom is on the verge of destruction. This is the only way for my people to prosper.

"Calm down Keytaro. I don't have a crafty temper like you. If you win the fight later, you can rule over my kingdom. But if you lose, I will free your kingdom to join my kingdom and you will leave here." Said Emperor Suji who was so confident.

"Test.. Are you so confident to win the game? All right if it's like that. We fight in the Black Valley." My words challenged Emperor Suji.

Prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok.

The sound of applause from the crown prince of Suji Kingdom.

It's like a betel in two, your nature is exactly with your son Suzuka. Well if it is like that, we are waiting for a fight that will determine your destiny, Emperor Keytaro." The cruel speech of the crown prince of the Suji Kingdom.

They also left my kingdom without returning my current personal bodyguards.
