"What? Kouichi we been through this before, you don't have a brother named Kouji." said the King.
Kouichi didn't say anything; he didn't even look at him, he just look at the floor because he knew the answer. His father, the king will oppose him to go on the journey now. The king keeps rambling about many things, while Kouichi ignore him all the times. He just wants to go already, is too much to ask?
"-did you get it? You can't leave this castle with that kind of reason." King gave him a determination look, but that doesn't make Kouichi scared or anything, he still looks as calm as ever.
He sighs, "Father, even if you disagree with my decision I'll still going to find Kouji."
"WHAT!"
"Maybe you don't understand what I mean, but you promise and if the citizen know the king broke his promise more importantly to his own son, what will the continent say about Fener, about the ruler of the Light Continent."
A boy whom everyone called elder walked toward the King, he wearing all dark clothes and cloak and start to whisper, "Your Majesty, I think you better listen to His Highness request. What he said might be true; it will bring disaster to the power of Light also if Your Majesty worried about His Highness why doesn't let some guards follow him on his journey. "
The king consider the elder suggestion, then agree with him, "Alright, you can still go on the journey my child, but under one condition I will send some group to accompany you."
Kouichi let out a sigh, "Looks like I don't have any other choices."
The king happy with his son decision, and let him prepare for his journey. Kouichi soon left the Thorne Room; he looks left and right, see if there someone followed him around, after he thought everything safe, he change into a soldier uniform and ran to the underground.
In there, many guards and soldier are taking their rest. The raven boy went inside without a problem, nobody realize he is the prince, yet. Well, except two people who sat on the corner, both of them shocked after looked at the young prince dressing as a soldier. Kouichi noticed it and quickly ran to them.
"Geeze, here I thought you already done with dress up," said one of them, he is a fat boy who wore defender armor.
"Hey! Show some respect, you know who he is right!" the little guy who wearing an orange hat seems angry to the fat boy.
"Okay, okay, that enough guys." Kouichi separate the two of them before anything could happen, especially get the entire room attention. "Junpei, I wouldn't stick in these uniform if it wasn't important, ok?"
"So something happened? You-" before the little boy could finished his words, the young prince gave him a dead glare.
"Tomoki, didn't I told you not to call me that while I'm in this uniform."
"So-Sorry, kinda forgot about that."
"ANYway, everything settle on my side, you guys ready for the journey?"
"We sure did." Junpei gave a thumb up.
The prince nod, "Great, but-." He said in hesitation, "we got a little problem."
"And what is it?" Tomoki gave a curious look.
Kouichi gave a sign so they come closer and whisper, "You see, the devil want his minions to come." He let out a sigh "We need to find a way to make them not following us. Got any plan?"
The three of them thinking for a long time, 'AHA!' the only gesture Kouichi made, he whispered something to both of Tomoki and Junpei, who understand what their prince are saying, both of them saluted him and run to the town as fast as possible. 'They run faster than I thought.' Kouichi had not told them when will they left, which actually still 3 more days, but… Oh well, it was their problems.
When Kouichi still wondering around with his disguise uniform, he bumped into someone, 'Shot! Whoever it is please don't recognize Me.' he quickly bowed "I-I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking. I deeply apologize to you." It was so quiet and Kouichi start to felt guilty or nervous, but the person who being bumped just laughed, "Well, well. Your Highness isn't it too old for you playing dress up?"
The prince recognizes that voice, he quickly glance up, it was the same person, the one who gave opinion to The Majesty, the Elder. "I'm so sorry Elder, I-" the Elder cut his sentences, "Kouichi, I already told you, stop being formal and stop calling me Elder. I know it's my title but I'm still 19 years old, I'm not THAT old."
"But you older than me."
"Anyway, we talked about this matter and you already promise or you will be like in your father situation."
"Okay, don't worry about it Ken-nii." Ken seemed to be happy at his decision, soon they walking together to Kouichi's chamber.
The Elder, Ken Ichijouji, is the one and only apprentices of the previous Elder in the castle. Ken followed his master footstep to dedicate himself to the Light. After his master died, he becomes the next Elder at age 12, people said he was a prodigy and act wisely, so they didn't worried a bit. After he familiar with his daily works, he has other job and that is teaching the future Light. Ken teaches Dark Magic and the Priestess teaches Light Magic, both of them knew which is the best element for the young successor, not only that they knew what happened to the real Light, they support the young prince to look for his little brother and thus everything going exactly like they planned.
Arriving at Kouichi's room, the raven hair boy bow slightly to the Elder, "Thank you for earlier Ken-nii."
"It's okay, we will help you the best we can, but… I think I put you into a worse situation." Ken felt a little guilty because of his suggestion, now about 30 soldiers and 10 guards will follow our little Prince.
"Don't worry, I already think of a plan."
It was the day for their departure, Kouichi lead all the party to Nate Town which located on the West, the journey took only 2 days by carriage and yes… The King told Kouichi to use a carriage, so he didn't need to walk or dirtying his shoes, he was wearing a royal clothes with a cape and the Kingdom Royal Logo, plus he tied his hair. They arrived in the city at sunset; the guards and soldier were tired, as well as the horse. Kouichi decided to spend two nights in here, he told to the party to enjoy themselves and order anything they like. These make all of them lost their guard and also a perfect chance to run away.
Like usual the guards changing shift to look after the one and only Prince, on the other hand, the Prince locked himself since they arrive. When it was almost mid-night, a defender and an archer walked to Kouichi's room, but they being halt by the guards.
"Address yourself!" said the guard.
"Junpei Shibayama, Defender class from Fener City, working in 2nd division." The defender saluted.
"Tomoki Himi, Archer class also from Fener City and 2nd division." The archer also saluted and then continues, "His Highness want to see us."
The guards think for a while, one of them check whether he already asleep or not, apparently the young Prince hadn't asleep yet, he also let Junpei and Tomoki to come in. Junpei locked the door, as soon as the door locked, Kouichi stand up; he started to speak, "Great, did you guys get it?"
"We sure did Your Highness." Tomoki took out a package.
"Good, now you guys just need to wait for me at the gate." Both of them nod, they went out from the room.
"His Highness is sleeping, don't disturb him." After said that both of them acted like their enjoying the party.
Inside the room, Kouichi change his royal clothes into a commoners, his took of his ribbon and let his hair fall, he cover his hair by using a hat, he wearing a boots now and not to forget his yang necklace. After pack some of his things, he jump from the window (they planned Kouichi's room will have one or two windows), he jumped from roof to roof.
He stopped at the most deserted path, soon he arrive at the gate, both Junpei and Tomoki already waiting. "Good job, Your Highness you're mission is a success." Said the fat boy.
Kouichi realize something, "Oh yeah, you guys need to stop acting like that."
"Acting like what?" the youngest boys a little confuse.
"Don't treat me like a royalty, call me by name please."
"WHAT! But we could-" Junpei cut the little boy words " Fine by me, Kouichi."
"JUNPEI! Aren't you being a little too informal" Tomoki get mad.
"Hey, don't get mad at me. He the one who said to call him by his name." Junpei is pointing at Kouichi, who is nodding.
"I-I- I will call you master instead Your Highness, i-it's not that I want to disobey your command… I-It just… I-I-I just can't call Your Highness by name. " Kouichi sighed at Tomoki statement, 'Well it's better than Your Highness.'
"So.. Kouichi, where should we go first?"
Kouichi thought for a moment, "Well, it's better if we go to a place which is difficult to be spot, then we can decide where to go next. We better go quickly, they will start searching first thing in the morning." Thus they went to a village, located in the middle of the forest, the village didn't have a name and the villagers not bother to name it.
Like as Kouichi suspected, early morning the guards came to check on their Prince, after found the empty room, all of them made a huge commotion. The news spread quickly, it also reached Fener before noon. When the king knew about it, he command thousands of groups to look for his son, not only that he also told someone to make a poster, a missing poster and he will give a reward to those who find his son.
On the other hand the Elder, found the situation quiet amusing. 'Well I guess it was his planned and I think he gave me my punishment.'because of this commotion the King asked for the Elder opinion frequently, and sometimes he blame this event happened because of him.
Now, let's back to Kouichi's party. They stay in an abandon house, the Prince look at the world map, while the others just looking at him for an hour.
"Okay Kouichi spill it out. We can't understand until you say something" Junpei had enough with the silence atmosphere.
"Oh, sorry. I just trying to figure it out something." He snapped from his own world.
"Maybe we could help, master."
He let the world map on the lied on the floor, "Eight years ago, when my brother being took by the soldier. The soldier didn't come back until three days after, so I currently calculating which the places they went."
"Three days…. Well from what I heard, if we from Fener we can get into two places. One is Sefte village and the other one is Kalores village." Said Junpei.
"We near Sefte and Kalores a little far from our current location." Tomoki looked at the world map.
"I guess Sefte our next stop, if Kouji not there, we go to Kalores next." Seems the Prince make up his mind.
Both of his friends nodded.
