Chapter 27. The kings thoughts.
The king sweated alot when he saw Ryou step into the room.
Ryou came closer to Retasu as the guests began to whisper and gasp.
He came closer to Retasu .
"Ryou! Wh-" Retasu was cut off as Ryou's lips pressed against hers.
Retasu broke it with a smile.
The audience began to gasp again.
"Your Majesty, you might not have noticed it, but I love your daughter very much... More than any one in the world" Ryou said.
The king said nothing
Masaya shouted "Guards!" but the king put his hand up as a signal of silence.
'Does he really love my daughter that much... Have I made a big mistake...Was it wrong to engage Retasu with Masaya... He has come this far just to tell me this... He held everything... The humiliation ... the whipping and the hanging all for the sake of stopping my daughters marriage... Does he really love my daughter sincerely?'
The king mumbled "Y-yes...Pe-perh-haps...Y-you m-may g-get m-married"
Ryou and Retasu looked at each other and smiled, but, Masaya frowned.
"NO! They can't get married! No! They betrayed us, your Majesty! No!"
But the king said nothing. He just continued to sweat
"I have had it! I lost my patience, Ryou!" Masaya shouted.
Masaya took a sword and swung it against Ryou when suddenly... Retasu took another heavy sword from a nearby guard and swung it the opposite direction and it hit each other.
'CLANG!'
Retasu blocked the sword from hitting Ryou .
Ryou stood up and hit Masaya in the cheek.
"They cheated on us! They-" Masaya continued as he fell to the ground. But he was cut of went he door swung open another time.
A blue haired girl was leaning on one side of the pillars of the door.
"Like you didn't cheat on them" Minto said to Masaya as the audience gasped some more.
"W-What are you talking about!" Masaya shouted
"I mean her." Minto grinned.
She dragged a pink haired girl in...
She looked drunk.
She was hiccupping and as she did pink and blue bubbles came out of her mouth.
"And you know what... She needed 25 bottles of beer and liquor of beer just to talk!" Minto grinned.
Just then Ichigo shouted "Masaya! MY LUPH WHEN ARE WE GOING TO MAKE LOVE AGAIN!"
The crow gasped some more.
Retasu looked at Masaya and frowned.
"You blamed us for cheating on you.. and you were sleeping with another girl yourself!" Retasu said strictly and slapped Masaya on the same spot Ryou hit him.
'PLAK!' . Masaya stayed quiet then suddenly , he grabbed a sword and moved behind Retasu with great speed that Retasu didn't see him move at all, and he put it on her neck. It pressed into her skin slightly.
But he was too fast to be seen by anybody.
The crowd gasped... again... ( booring)
"Ryou.. don't move before I slit this girl's throat" Masaya laughed histerically.
No body dared to move not even the king.
Then Masaya pushed Retasu gently so that she would walk and Retasu obeyed.
She was so frightened.
Then they slowly went out of the church.
Ryou waited for them to go out of the church before running after them carrying a sword.
Then he caught up to them. Masaya was no longer carrying a sword but he held Retasu so tight she couldn't let go even though she tried .
Ryou ran in front of them with the speed of light.
He pointed the sword as Masaya's face.
Masaya was STUNNED! He stopped.
"If you're going to take Retasu away, you'll have to kill me first"
Masaya stayed put for a few seconds. Then he suddenly pushed Retasu to Ryou. Ryou instantly dropped the sword as Retasu fell on him. That gave Masaya time to run. Ryou couldn't stand up and catch him so he let him go.
Then he forgot about Masaya and focused on Retasu .
He kissed her, Retasu kissed back. "Finally it's over..."
