THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episodes 3. Conflict with Suzuka.

Today I am preparing to go to the traditional market with Jae Jun, as usual I want to see the prosperity of my people. Not a few people still have difficulty surviving.

"Prince Kenzi.. Are you ready? The white horse has been in front of the royal gate." Jae Jun asked me this time.

"Well, wait for me at the gate. I'll hurry there but I want to meet my father first." I said to Jae Jun then I left Jae Jun at the moment.

For this time I want to talk to my father about advancing the prosperity of the people of Suji Kingdom, slowly I walk then I meet the father who is sitting on the throne at this time.

"Good morning, dad." My greetings to my father as I bow.

"Good morning, Kenzi. Looks like you've been preparing to go around socializing with the people." He said as he understood what I was going to do today.

"That's right, dad. I want to explore the villages that are behind the Suji Kingdom. It seems that for the prosperity of the people to be immediately in peace, yesterday I went around with Jae Jun on horseback. It turns out that there are still many commoners who are very difficult to find a mouthful of rice, my purpose around the village is to express the prosperity and welfare of the people of Suji Kingdom. Don't you mind what I'm doing?" I say to my father at this time.

"Gee, Son. You inherited my nature, your temperament is so strong as a Prince Kenzi. As crown prince you should think about the state of the people, not just about your own wealth. I'll always support you, son. Continue to be a just and wise prince." Father's words at this time calmed me down. Dad's face is so stunning, dad is my role model at this time.

"Alright, dad. I'll be leaving soon but before I ask my father for help, don't say this to my mother and sister because they will definitely not like the mission I'm doing right now.

"Hehe. Take it easy Kenzi, I know exactly the nature of your mother and sister. So hurry up with your mission, watch out for you in the streets." Excited father at this time.

"See you, Dad, I'm leaving." My heart to my father with me immediately left this room.

As I walked towards the gate, Jae Jun was already preparing the five horses lined up. I will ride one white horse and four others will be ridden by my aides. I'm more comfortable using my own horse, than I have to ride a carriage. I do not want my people to bow down to me, so this white horse is my vehicle.

"Jae Jun, I'm ready." I said to my aide named Jae Jun.

"Well Prince Kenzi, let's go." Jae Jun exclaimed to the other three aides.

As usual we went around the village to see the state of the people, we did not hesitate to help the people who were very troubled. Our food and vegetable supplies are distributed equally because this is my main goal of equalizing the prosperity of the common people. After feeling enough to enter the villages. It was time to find that sweet girl. My eyes were aiming at everyone who was in the traditional market. This time I was at one point, I saw the figure of the girl I met yesterday.

"Stop.." My words to the adjutants, they halted at once. All the adjutants stopped right behind me. I came down my horse and I pointed to the girl I saw yesterday.

"Prince Kenzi, the girl's name is Yuka. Look out, if Prince Kenzi wants to get to know her more." Jae Jun said to me at this moment.

I turned to Jae Jun and smiled. I got off my horse and I came to the radish-selling girl named, Yuka. His face seemed to imply worry.

"Hi, Yuka. Are you selling radishes today?" I ask the girl now.

"Sorry, sir. Today I don't sell radishes.I came here to buy medicine because my grandmother was very sick." Said this girl surprisingly.

I offered to help him, and I ordered all my guards to call the royal physician. He looked at me, because he knew that I was a prince of the Suji Kingdom.

"You don't have to worry, Yuka. I'll help you, let them find a healer, we'll go to your house now." I said to Yuka at this time as I calmed the uneasiness of her heart.

I immediately approached Jae Jun along with some of my other aides.

"As soon as you call the royal physician, take the physician to Yuka's house. Grandma Yuka is sick now." I said to Jae Jun.

"Okay, Prince Kenzi. Later I will bring the healer to the house, Yuka. Please Prince Kenzi leave first with Yuka." Said my aide as he understood my orders. I immediately went back to Yuka and we rode the white horse I was carrying.

"Yuka, get on the horse. Soon we'll go to your house to help your sick grandmother." I said to Yuka at this moment. Finally we both went to meet Grandma Yuka who was lying limp at home. Arriving in front of Yuka's house, I finally entered and saw the condition of Grandma's condition. It seemed like Grandma Yuka's state was not okay, her body was so limp and her face was so pale.

"Yuka, let me see your grandmother. I want to talk to him." I said to Yuka at this time.

"Please, Kenzi. Come in. I'll wait for the healer outside. With not much thought, I immediately went in and met Grandma Yuka who was lying weakly on the bed.

"What do you feel? Your face is so pale. Can you still survive?" I asked Grandma Yuka this time.

Suddenly Grandma Yuka was surprised to see my arrival because it turned out that she recognized me at this time.

"Prince.. Is it true that you are Prince Kenzi? Thank you so much for the prince being willing to visit my little hut." Grandma Yuka's.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok.

There was a knock on the door, it seemed like Jae Jun was approaching me.

"Come in, Jae Jun." I'm yelling at Jae Jun.

"Prince, the physician has come. Better let the healer treat grandma. Let's just wait outside, Prince." Speak to me at this time.

"Well, we'd better wait outside. Let the healer treat, grandma." My heart goes out to Jae Jun.

From a distance Suzuka was following the healer, while she was not happy for my help to Yuka. slowly she approached and the commotion could not be avoided.

My sister slapped Yuka in the face and warned her not to get in touch with me. Here I am not silent, I will always protect this girl from all the threats Suzuka gave me.

Plakkk

I returned Suzuka's slap, I treated her like she treated Yuka badly just now.

"Kenzi, brazen you." Suzuka said by leaving us.

This incident will be a long one when I deal with kaka and my mother. I will not hesitate to protect my people, especially the girl named Yuka.
