THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episodes 30. Keiko
POVS. GRANDMA JISSO
At least I'm more comfortable here, even though this village is very foreign to me. I willingly stayed in this place of seclusion, only for Yuka to survive Suzuka's target. The countryside is very beautiful, like in exile. The beautiful scenery makes me comfortable here. I tried to walk around the village, until I finally saw a woman who seemed to know him.
I approached the woman, her face still remained the same as her beautiful long hair.
"Is it possible that she is Keiko?" I ask in my heart at this moment.
I wanted to reprimand this woman, but I was afraid that she would avoid it when I approached her. I convinced this heart to try to make sure that that woman was indeed Keiko. With a doubtful step I also resolved to rebuke the greeting of the beautiful woman.
"Sorry are you Keiko?" I asked the middle-aged woman who was very beautiful. She smiled, the smile she looked so beautiful. It is only natural that Kenzi became a good child because of his mother's temperament which was so very gentle.
"It seems I've known you, but somewhere? It is true that I am Keiko. Do you know me?" Keiko asked in a friendly manner at last when I hugged her body tightly.
Bugh!!
This very tight hug illustrates my gratitude to Keiko.
"Have you forgotten about me? I am a concubine of the kingdom of Yamada. I am Empress Yiza's personal concubine. Do you remember me Keiko?" I asked subtly to this beautiful woman.
"God.. Is it true that I met Consort Jisoo? Why did you come out of the Yamada Kingdom?" His face seemed to mean a big question mark.
"Keiko, can you come with me? I just happened to move house. My house is at the end of the road there "Tanyaku to Keiko while I invite her to come to my house.
"Alright, Consort Jisoo. I'll come with you, it looks like there's something important you want to talk about. Go quickly!" Said Keiko as she wanted my invitation. Finally we both walked towards the house that I just occupied, from the look on Keiko's face he was so confused by my presence in this village.
Right in front of my house right now, I immediately let him in by locking the door tightly so that no one would hear our conversation.
Cekrek.
The door is closed tight right now.
"Please come in, Keiko. Be sitting.. Now that it's safe, I've locked the door tight." I said to Keiko at the moment.
"Senior concubine, what happened? For decades I had hoped to meet one of the royal residents. But no one has ever met me." Said Keiko with a sad look on her face.
"really that? I would love to see my son, but so many restrictions were placed on me by Empress Yiza at the beginning of the covenant." Say it with tears.
"Before I wanted to ask you Keiko, How come you can live in a remote village like this?" I asked Keiko as I wanted to find out why she lived in a remote village very far from a kingdom.
"Concubine Jisoo, this story is so heartwarming to me. Where when I agreed to lend my womb to give birth to a royal son. I never thought I'd have such a bad luck. All of this was the result of the evil deeds of Empress Yiza. The Emperor did not know that I was thrown into a river. After I gave birth to such a handsome son, I was banished by all the empress aides back then. My body was so weak that I had just given birth to a baby. I don't know why after I realized I was in a swift and dangerous river. It seems that the empress planned for me to stretch my life in the river, but God's help was always there for me. The universe helped me until I reached this village. All these years I've had major depression, how shouldn't I be able to breastfeed my son? But I don't even know where I live at the time." He said so heartwarmingly.
"So you weren't exiled by Emperor Suji all this time?" I asked with curiosity.
"No, concubine Jisoo. I've never even spoken to Emperor Suji Paska before I gave birth to my son. That night my eyes were covered with a black cloth and I was carried on a horse-drawn carriage. My body was thrown away with a helpless weakness." He said very emotionally.
"It's evil that the Empress. I did not expect that the son of an Emperor Yamada had a very bad temper. Fate is good to you Keiko, Empress Yiza is now in a state of disaster. His affair with Emperor Keytaro has been wide open. Even his two daughters would fight each other in the Black Valley." I said to Keiko at the moment.
"What did you say? Black Valley? The valley is very dangerous. Why would the princess of Empress Yiza be fighting there?" Keiko asked in confusion.
"I have told you several times that the universe has cultivated its karma. A good destiny will come to a good man, but if he has a bad temper and plants something bad then a bad destiny will come to Yiza." I said to Keiko at the moment.
"Where is my son? I'd love to hug her, I haven't even given her a name yet." Keiko said so heartbreakingly.
"Keiko, a beautiful, kind woman. Your son is a crown prince in the Suji Kingdom. His name is Prince Kenzi, Kenzi is a good boy. He has a temperament like his father and mother, you better stay with me so you can meet your son. Your son must miss you because he knows the truth about his identity." I said while calming Keiko down at the moment.
"Kubelai hair, while I love Keiko like my own daughter. We are far away, you could say I was the nanny of the crown princess. Keiko was much younger under Yiza, but the maturity of this woman was so astounding to me. Keiko nodded her head as she agreed with my current invitation.
"Alright, concubine Jisoo. If you please, I'll stay here. As long as I miss my son. I'd love to see the look on. I'd love to hug her, Consort Jisoo." Keiko said to me.
"I'll never mind if you want to stay with me in this house. This house is a given house from your son, so you have the right to occupy this house. I left my house because I was terrorized by Suzuka and Empress Yiza." I am disappointed in myself at this moment.
"Why did you go avoid Empress Yiza? Do you have any mistakes?" Ask Keiko to me.
"Keiko, I have absolutely no fault for that woman. But he who has been afraid of his sins all this time. Ria discards her youngest daughter from an affair with Emperor Keytaro. The girl seemed to be an outcast princess. That girl's name is Yuka, she's the sweet kid I raised. Yuka's life was far from enough when living with me. There was no help at all from the kingdom of Keytaro or from Empress Yiza. Now this girl is training with your son to fight the evil of her own brother." I said firmly to Keiko.
"So... Yuka and Suzuka are going to fight each other?" Reaching Keiko's eyes, she is shocked by the fate that has happened to the Suji Kingdom.
