Qiang Gu was still sitting limp, his usual burly hand clutching tightly onto the sword, now appearing weakly helpless.
Clack up!
Clack up! Her tears were unstoppable, flowing in turns. His eyes seemed to weaken all his abilities.
Now, the man had lost his spirit, even the burly arm was only able to hug the helpless Satsuki. He kept it as close as possible while praying. Although Satsuki's body temperature drops dramatically. But Qiang Gu was not desperate, he kept begging the god to keep Satsuki alive. Despite having to accept the fact that everything is not as expected.
"Hiks..get up, please.get up" cried Qiang Gu as hiccupped.
The sadness in Qiang Gu's mind brought him back to the past. He recalls a childhood he never forgot during his first meeting with Satsuki.
Flasbacks...
At one time, when the coronation of crown prince Kui who ascended the throne became a king, Qiang Gupun accidentally met with Satsuki, Satsuki, They met by accident and only once in a small favillion was quite hidden.
At that time, when a cheering sound alternately accompanied the presence of the new king in the country Kui. Little Qiang Gu even slipped away from the supervision of his nanny. The guards were dispatched to search for Qiang Gu without causing a commotion.
But, It turned out that little Qiang Gu had instead entered the forbidden area of the kingdom. He accidentally walked towards the corner of the palace to the south. He stepped into a favillion by himself, Qiang Gu had just turned six. But he's been very brave.
"What is this place? Why are so many hard spells stuck?" Little Qiang Gu asked, his eyes observant listening around.
He stopped at a slightly open door of the favillion. Qiang Gu approached the door and peeked at it.
"Eh, is there a sound?" The whisper of Qiang Gu silenced his mouth.
"Hiks.. hyks..." The sound of crying girls sounded so sweet that even slicing hearts sounded sad.
"Is there anyone in there?" Qiang Gu asked, even the tiny legs of little Qiang Gu began to step into the slightly dark favillion.
"Hiks..." The crying sounded clearer. The sound of crying could be heard slicing through the heart and was greatly tormented.
"Gee!" Qiang Gu was suffocated when he found the figure of a little girl his age sitting down bending his body. He sat in the narrow corner of the room.
"Hey... What are you doing?" Qiang Gu asked, speeding up his steps, and walked over to the little girl. The little girl who had just cursed and buried her face behind the pile of hands that she saw above her knees, began to respond to Qiang Gu's question. He eased his head and looked at Qiang Gu with his eyes.
"Eh, who are you?" Ask the little girl. Qiang Gu also looked at the look on the little girl's face and then he smiled as he stuck out his five fingers to face the little girl.
"My name is Qiang Gu. What's yourname?" Qiang Gu asked as he waited for the little girl to reply.
"The Qiang Gu? why would a ranger like you get in here?" Asked the little girl, she started replying to Qiang Gu's hand. They hold each other's hands together. Qiang Gu smiled happily then pulled the little girl's arm. "Aah!" Screeched at the little girl, and then the little girl started to stand in front of Qiang Gu.
"Greetings" Imbuh Qiang. Satsuki nodded silently.
Qiang Gu took a look and listened, staring at the tiny body of the little girl in his hope from up to down his feet. The girl's body was very skinny, her clothes were also very shabby. His eyes are filled with pretty well-fitted eye bags. His face was pale and puffy, Qiang Gu looked extremely concerned looking at him.
"What's your name?" Qiang Gu asked, repeating.
"my name? my nanny aunt said. My name is Satsuki..." Reply to the girl. Qiang Gu nodded and pulled her out "Satsuki are you hungry?" Ask Qiang Gu. Satsuki nodded "Ehm!" That was the only reply Qiang Gu got. Qiang Gu smiled and pulled him outside the favillion room.
Ngii... The sound of pain in Satsuki's ears as her feet stepped out of the room and saw the sunlight around her.
"Why?" Qiang Gu asked, turning towards Satsuki who had stopped "Si-glare... Where are we going?" Satsuki asked while closing her vision with the other palm.
"You said you were hungry?" Reply Qiang Gu while pulling Satsuki's arm "Ta-but, the nanny's aunt said. I wasn't allowed to leave the room no matter what" Satsuki explained starting to take off Qiang gu's arm slowly "Is your life as dull as my life? They, yes, they adults can only rule. Come with me. I'll take you to a place that can make her stomach full!" Qiang Gu clasped Satsuki's hand back and pulled her away. Then Qiang gu brought him to the area of peace.
"What is this place?" Satsuki's asking around. He saw tens to hundreds of people crammed together and laughed aloud, smelling wine everywhere.
"This is a big party" Qiang Gu replied.
"Pe-party..." Satsuki asked in her heart.
"Emh... If you haven't seen it, you'll definitely be very foreign right?" Qiang Gu began to push Satsuki to the end of the table "Please wait, I'll be right back" Imbuh Qiang Gu as he ran away from Satsuki, Satsuki was startled and wide-eyed "Wait! Don't leave me alone!" Shouted Satsuki. Qiang Gu turned his head in the distance "Wait there! I'll bring you plenty of food!" Shouted Qiang Gu as he waved his hand. Little Satsuki nodded then crouched down and folded her hands back on her knees, hiding behind the folds.
A few moments later...
Duk! "Akh!" Satsuki's strangulation fell after an adult man accidentally grabbed her "Eeeh.... Who's the child?" Ask the man a little for drunkenness. Then Satsuki loosened her face towards the adult man.
"sickness..." Little Satsuki's sigh. Then the man got angry and demanded the shabby little girl "Heh! Who are you, little shabby boy! how dare you enter this honorable palace?!" Shouted the puffed-up man (Fat, stocky-bellied) while pointing at "I..." Satsuki could only gulp her saliva and was extremely nervous as well as frightened. Her tiny body was even extremely trembling in the cold.
"Go! Don't be here! You beggar!" The man's shout kicked Satsuki's tiny body until Satsuki was dragged towards the palace guards "Sick! stopit!" Satsuki's sigh held onto her stomach which was hit by the brutal hands of the adult man. Then as the guards rushed over to drive Satsuki away, Qiang Gu came with a pile of food in his hand.
Qiang Gu darted looking for Satsuki to the place where he left her earlier. But he found nothing there.then, accidentally the eyes of the moon Qiang Gu was directed to an uproar. The curious Qiang Gu stepped in that direction with a tray mat containing food as well as lots of fruits.
"What's this?"Qiang Gu asked trying to break through the calf fortress of the adult men.
The moment he managed to get in there, his eyes immediately rounded perfectly "Degh!"
"Yahoo! It hurts!" Shouted Satsuki hysterically. Little Satsuki was even pulled out of the palace by those guards.
"Stop!" Qiang Gu ran towards the bodyguards and shouted "Let go of him!" Shouted Qiang Gu while kicking the bodyguard. While Satsuki could only cry when her hand was wrung and dragged by the guards.
"It hurts!" Satsuki. Then the bodyguards started releasing Satsuki.
"Hey! What are you doing! get them out of here! just distracting?" Shouted the puffer man. Accidentally the commotion began to attract the attention of the king Kui who had just ascended the throne.
"What's in there?!" Asked the handsome man with the royal crown on his head. He looked dignified as he stepped into the area. Although the woman beside him forbade the king to come down from his layover, but the king seemed interested in the commotion.
"What's this?" Asked King Kui to break up the commotion, the men who had drunkenly started turning their bodies towards the new king's call.
"Honor your majesty, there is a child beggar going into your great banquet and I want to expel him" said the king from a neighboring country who was a guest of the Kui kingdom.
"King Xi Zhi, where is the boy?" Ask King Kui. While the king's wife Zhang (Kui) lingling empress ran over to the king in a hurry "Hosh! Ohsh! Your Majesty, return to your stopover there. Because this is very very disrespectful" Lenguh the empress pleaded.
But king Zhang could only stare back as he stared at the boy angrily at the guards and tried to save the shabby girl the beggar thought was.
"Look...Even that handsome little guy helped her? whose son is he? really can't choose his friend" explained king Xi Zhi sneering.
"Zhang Qiang Gu!" Exclaimed the king of kui as he stepped towards Qiang Gu.
"ah! My why?!" Empress Lingling's cry went hysterically.
King Xi Zhi could only be stunned dumbstruck and not wrinkle as he listened to Prince Qiang Gu's name "Ruler? that kid my age is a prince? could it be that Qiang Gu is the son of King Zhang? Oh my God what am I doing?" Bathin King Xi Zhi.
The king and his empress approached Qiang Gu who stepped into the palace banquet area by pulling a shabby, crybaby girl. The little girl had no other ability but to cry.
"Darling?!" Shouting the lingling empress threw out Satsuki's hand that had been in Qiang Gu's hand.
"Ouch!" Satsuki's strangulation fell to the ground by the lingling empress's hand.
"Mother! Why are you even brushing Satsuki's hand" Qiang Gu asked. Empress lingling was angry "You can't go near her! understand!" The lingling empress whispered looked at Qiang Gu full of anger.
"But..." The whisper of Qiang Gu bowed his face down.
"Don't argue, or mom won't think of you as a mother's child" the empress of lingling warned her child. Little Qiang Gu nodded and obeyed the mother's orders.
But when Qiang Gu turned his head towards his father. He even found his father's authoritative figure "What's your name son?" Asked king Zhang softly. Satsuki who was still crying began to wipe her tears and replied to the king's question "My name... My name is Satsuki" Satsuki explained. King Zhang smiled and patted Satsuki's head and stroked her "Don't cry Yes uncle will punish the one who made the bloody elbow" explained King Zhang with a friendly smile. Qiang Gu agreed to his father's will and co-expressed his opinion "True started! The law of the unwise!" Pinta Qiang Gu ran towards his father and saluted.
"Of course, I will be fair to anyone" King Zhang said, shaking off his clothes as a sign of dissatisfaction. While the lingling empress began to clench her hands full of anger.
Exorbitant! why is that kid here! Bathin Empress lingling.
As the commotion grew, someone broke through the crowd and grabbed Satsuki's tiny body and hugged her.
"Miss! apparently you are here" Shouted the middle-aged woman, she took off her one child and hugged Satsuki tightly like she was afraid of losing.
Qiang Gu approached the woman and asked "Who are you.. Why do you seem worried about Satsuki?" Qiang Gu asked suspiciously.
The woman nodded and explained "I am Xing yan. I am Miss Satsuki's nanny" Xing Yan explained, starting to take the two girls and leaving.
"Wait on! I'm sorry" said Qiang Gu, bowing his body.
"Yes, what is the problem! you don't have to apologize..." Clearly Xing Yan turned his body towards the prince.
"Qiang Gu what are you doing son?!" Shouted the lingling empress angrily to Qiang Gu.
"Yes. Ms.... I want to take Satsuki to this big banquet. Your Highness may it?" Qiang Gu asked whining. The king nodded "May son..." Obviously while stepping back towards the stopover, but the lingling empress was angry and opposed to the will of king Zhang "Her Majesty! What the hell is there doing? why did you allow Qiang Gu to be friends with that child?" Jerk the lingling empress in a slightly high voice.
"We'll talk about this later" explained King Zhang. And listening to that answer, the lingling empress was dissatisfied and furious at the decision. Finally, due to the unbearable anger of the lingling empress, the lingling empress accidentally revealed Satsuki's true identity in front of the guests and royal patrons "I would be so unwilling if Prince Qiang Gu were to hang out with your brother's son! how annoying!" Rigorously. King Zhang who almost sat on his throne felt struck by lightning in broad daylight. He immediately twisted his body and threw out his clothes furiously "Srak!"
"What did you say?" King Zhang's cry was wide-eyed until it became clear, that now, the king's anger was piling up and almost booming at the right time.
While the lingling empress could only be silent as she stuffed her mouth with her five fingers.
"God! what did I just say?" Ask Empress lingling inwardly. The face of empress lingling was extremely deathly pale.
