Chapter 5: A Trip to the East Part 4
"And what do you suppose you're doing? She turns around and saw the old man with a couple of men behind her.
"Leaving and you'll do as I say," Ren started to growl at them and they took a couple of steps back.
"You don't seem to understand, there is no way you can leave this ship," the old man said.
"And why is that?"
"Because that was the last boat that we had," he said. "You can swim but it doesn't stop us from killing this animal." Mayu look at Ren he stood his ground and didn't flinch. Mayu bend down towards him and pet his mane.
"I will not be treating like a cage animal," she said.
"Of course"
"And neither will he," she said. "I'll stay," the old man had a relief expression on his face.
"Send the both of them to the main quarters, give them anything they want," all of the sudden the men on the boat attitude change towards her. They started to treat her with extra care as if she could break at any moment. When she went into the room it was almost as big as her own back in Hittite.
The thought of being away from Hittite fill her with sorrow and regret. Not to be able to see her children anymore or to sing them a lullaby to sleep; even though that they sometimes wish she stop doing that. Amir thinks that he's too old for it. Tears started to flow from her face. Ren started to feel concern for his new master and purr next to her to show her some comfort but that only made her cry some more. She grabs a hold of him and cries even more into his fur.
Yuri Point of View
It's been two day, before they saw a Kail's ship. I'm a little afraid to tell the bad news to Zannanza. Knowing that he was the ship I couldn't just leave the situation as it is. When we got on the ship the children ran to their fathers. I stood back letting them have their moment with Kail. Then his arms were open towards me; only for me to take a step then stop as I turned to Zannanza.
"Zannanza, I am sorry but Mayu…"
Zannanza looks around to see that she wasn't standing next to her.
"Mayu she…"
"She made us go first," Amir said.
"She…"
"I'm sorry Zannanza there was nothing that I could do," Yuri said. Zannanza exhaled and look at Yuri.
"You did the right thing the main thing is that the children are safe," he said.
"Brother, we'll do everything in our power to get them back," Kail said.
"Yes we will brother"
"Kail these are my people they may not be so much understanding to foreigner as you might be," she said. "But I can still talk to them translate that's the only way that well be able to find her."
"Then we'll see to it that it is done," he said.
"But first we must get the children back to Hittite," Kail said.
"What!" Amir and Deiru said at the same time.
One week later
They arrive at the shore of Japan. They ended at the edge of a huge city with a palace right in the middle. Many people where going around and shopping.
Mayu was wearing a red Kimono and was standing next to Ren and the old man. It would be her first time in weeks that she was able to take a step off the boat and onto land. There was a carriage waiting for them as they step off the boat. Both Mayu, Ren and the old man got into the carriage.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll be the new queen for King Hiroshi," he said. "We were hoping to use you and your friend as a peace offering so you can stop this nonsense of the war they have"
"They?"
"The two Princes," he said. "The both of them are fighting for control and want to crown, when it was truly the Kings wish to give the crown to Prince Diasuke, but he's too young and the third child."
"By right it should go to the crown Prince," Mayu said.
"It's not that easy… Prince Jiro mother was of low birth and Prince Hiroshi mother… well she was just a lowly h…"
"You must watch what you say in a lady presents," Mayu said. "The way you talk about their mother must mean they pass away."
"Yes, while giving birth"
"How sad"
Finally they arrive at the castle and was immediately met up with a prince. He was talking to one of his advisor when the two of them were announce.
"Prince Hiroshi, Mr. Sato has return"
"Let him in," both Mayu and the old man came into the room when she first saw a glimpse of the prince she was shock. He was handsome and had long black hair and green eyes for a moment she almost forgot that she was married. She shook her head and let the thought go to the back of her mind.
"Prince Hiroshi, I have travel across the sea and came back to offer this woman to you," the old man said. "This lovely lady name is Mayu… Mayu introduce yourself"
"I'm sorry for this Prince Hiroshi but I have no choice but to say that I was kidnapped and I was held against my will and wish to return to my family," she said.
"That's no very nice," a voice said. Mayu turn her head towards the voice and saw a little boy next to his nanny. He look so much like Zannanza he even had blonde hair.
"Zannanza," she said and went over to the little boy. "No you not Zannanza… your Kedar, my beautiful Kedar"
