THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episode 49's. Encounters.

Arriving where I reached the next village, the atmosphere was so peaceful and beautiful. There is a simple house, in which there is a person I love. We all got down the carriage and we walked into the simple house.

"Happy, Yuka. Must be Grandma Jisoo, missing you so much." Jae Jun said with a smile to me. My steps stopped and I looked towards him.

"Thank you, Jae Jun. I really miss you a lot, Grandma Jisoo. Hopefully my arrival can make Grandma smile wide." My words to Prince Kenzi's current personal aide.

Prince Kenzi took my hand and clasped it tightly, as he showed his concern for me. We walked together towards one of the houses occupied by Grandma Jisoo.

"grandmother.. I'm coming!" I said with a run, I immediately entered the house occupied by Grandma. Suddenly, there was a figure of a beautiful woman who was sitting with grandma.

"Yuka's.. My grandchildren. Have you gone home yet? Thank goodness, Yuka. You're done on a training mission." Say Grandma Jisoo with teary eyes.

The woman smiled and then she stroked my head. Suddenly, when Kenzi came and also approached Grandma Jisoo. I was surprised to see the reaction of the beautiful woman currently sitting next to grandma. The woman shed tears, while she kept such a deep novelty.

Consort Keiko, looking at Prince Kenzi.

"Mrs.. Why are you crying?" I asked this beautiful woman she also occasionally wiped her tears and she approached the prince. I was shocked at the moment when he said something that made me stare at him.

"My son, Kenzi..." Said the beautiful woman then she hugged Kenzi at this time.

"I'm sorry, who are you? Why do you call me Son? Do I look like your son?" Ask from Prince Kenzi.

The woman looked directly at Prince Kenzi at this moment, her lips twitched then she said something that made us all fixate.

"Kenzi.. I am your mother. The woman you've been looking for all this time I'm her. It was Seelir Keiko. The woman who gave birth to you was banished by Empress Yiza." Said the middle-aged woman with a surprise my eyes widened. My mouth gaping Serayu I was surprised to hear her words.

"Huh, you're my mom? Mom, I missed you. Turns out I still have a chance to meet you." Say hello to Kenzi by grabbing Consort Keiko's hand. Prince Kenzi kissed his mother's hand and immediately embraced with warmth.

"Sit all of you! Let's talk it out together. There are a few things I want to tell you all. Jae Jun, join us." Grandma exclaimed to all of us as she asked Jae Jun to join her sitting in the living room.

"Sit for a second.. Take a deep breath, make yourself calm. I'll tell you everything one by one." Grandma looked into Prince Kenzi's eyes.

Finally we sat together in this room, we gave the grandmother the opportunity to explain everything...

"Yuka's.. Even if you are not my grandson, believe me. My dear, so very big to you. I love you just as much as I love my grandchildren." Said Grandma Jisoo by taking a slow breath and exhaling it roughly as she carried the burden of explaining the next secret.

I nodded, then embraced the grandmother at this time.

Not long after, he continued his talk again. Now, his words were addressed to Prince Kenzi.

"Geez Prince Kenzi.. I know exactly how disappointed you are to Empress Yiza. He separated you from your mother. But one thing you should know, your mother is completely innocent. He had absolutely no idea about the evil plans of Empress Yiza. She was cast away on the banks of the river in a weak state after giving birth to you. But, good destiny still envelops his life, the universe allows you to meet at this time. As we know, there is a lot of common thread in the Suji Kingdom, but this also happens in the Kingdom of Yamada. With a heavy heart I have to tell my dark story.

Keiko and Yiza are brothers of one father, but different mothers. As we know, the events of your birth are like reincarnation of my life. Keiko is currently sitting next to me.. It was my daughter who was banished by Emperor Yamada. It repeats itself like karma the universe has planned. The universe has passed down the fate of this event. I want to tell you that you are my grandson." Grandma Jisoo said with tears at this time.

"Whataaa??? So, Prince Kenzi is the granddaughter of Jisoo's grandmother and concubine Keiko is Jisoo's grandmother's daughter who was banished by the emperor Yamada? This is really surprising.." My words suddenly made me very surprised, with the words of my grandmother to us. Prince Kenzi smiled and he said,

"Hmm, whatever the situation. I can only be grateful, because right now I can still meet my mother and grandmother. Although we were apart for many years, I am proud to have such a kind mother and grandmother. Thank you grandma.. You have taken care of and cared for the girl I love because thanks to you Yuka can be a very sincere girl. Right now, he had the title as a pure Knight and would fight against evil. Although, Yuka had to fight with her own biological sister." Prince Kenzi said with my hand and looked at Grandma Jisso's face.

Grandma Jisoo-pun smile, while she is proud to have grandchildren like Prince Kenzi.

"Mother, now that grandma has met with grandma's daughter and granddaughter. Will my grandmother continue to love me?" I asked my grandmother with round eyes, Grandma stroked my face and she said as she reassured me now.

"Whatever happened in the past will not affect my love for you, Yuka. All this time your figure filled my longing for my lost daughter. We have all gathered together now. Here we are all family. But, there is one message for you Jae Jun. Whatever happens later in the kingdom, don't you ever tell me about Keiko's whereabouts other than Emperor Suji." Grandma said, warning Prince Kenzi's current bodyguard.

"Good, Grandma Jisoo. I understand now, I'll keep this secret tight. Until that fight was fought." Said Jae Jun with him nodding his head and then posted his body while he understood the words of Grandma Jisso.

"Alright, the sadness is gone. Let us welcome happiness and victory. Prepare yourself for the battle in the Black Valley." Grandma Jisoo said with a pat on Prince Kenzi's shoulder and also my shoulder at this time.
