Magi belongs to their respective owners. Sadly not me. :(
Chapter 8 Decision
"Ane-ue I've decided I want to go to Sindria in the near future, but I am not sure how to bring this up to the Emperor." Hakuryuu asked her. Mei just stayed silent for a few moments before speaking up.
"Then how about we go speak to Father about it? I'll go along with you if you're worried." Mei suggested much to the joy of Hakuryuu.
"Yes, thank you that would be much appreciated." The fourth prince confirmed.
"Okay it's decided let's go." They began walking towards where they speculated the Emperor would be, on his throne. "Hakuryuu, when did you decide you wanted to go to Sindria?"
"I've been thinking for a while now, I think I need to see and learn the teachings of a great king who built everything he's had from nothing." Though my true intentions are to ask him for aid in bringing down Kou. Hakuryuu said. Mei glanced towards him speculating it wasn't the entire reason, but decided not to say anything. After all this was his choice, she wasn't one to butt in.
"Father, we would like to request an audience with you." Mei knelt before the Emperor of Kou. He swung his hand, and allowed them to speak. "Hakuryuu has something he would like to say." Mei quickly said gesturing Hakuryuu to speak.
"I would like to go to Sindria, and learn their teachings and diplomatic relations for future purposes." Hakuryuu clearly stated.
"Hnn...how would the purpose of that benefit Kou?" The elderly man voiced so clearly.
"If I may, I believe having Hakuryuu go to Sindria would be very beneficial if he trains there. The techniques and swordsmanship most certainly differ from that of Kou's. Knowing the people, king, and their way of living would be an extreme difference from Kou so being able to compare the two lifestyles and countries would show what Kou lacks and what Sindria doesn't." Unexpectedly the emperor began laughing loudly that it was ringing in the ears of the guards standing out the doors.
"Hahaha! As expected of Mei you thought of something quite smart, very well Hakuryuu you may go." He declared. The prince and princess bowed permitting them to leave. For some reason Koutoku had always taken a liking to Mei though she heard it was because she resembled her mother, his sister a lot.
Where's Judal? I wonder if he's hiding in a tree eating peaches again. I really wonder sometimes if he's the same age as me. "Judal! I didn't really think it was going to happen, but you're in a tree? Again!? And eating the peaches from the royal garden. I feel sorry for the peach trees you pick off of everyday." Mei said even though her attention was with the beautiful trees.
"There's no point in feeling sorry for that. Aren't they just trees? Why do you always care about small things like this. I really don't get you even after all these years. It's an even bigger mystery to me how you can still care about taking down Al Thamen when you're just like me, though you haven't actually completely fallen." The dark oracle shouted aloud.
"Judal, even after I keep telling you to be quiet about these things, you'll never learn. And I know you're trying to make me completely fall and join the organisation with you, but that won't be possible. Plus you aren't the only one I know who's plotting that. With all the 'priests' speaking so loudly within this palace it's more of a wonder to me how no one has figured all their plans out." Mei laughed inwardly.
Judal raised a brow wondering what she was talking about. There's magic they put up to make sure no one hears their whatever they're saying. I don't even know what's going on. Not that I care anyways, but how the hell does Mei get to know!? "Mei you've been back for what a few weeks, and you've already gone crazy. They have special magic they put, you shouldn't be able to hear anything they're talking about. You're probably being tricked by them or something." Judal jockingly said without knowing Mei had been taking that seriously.
It's weird. Normally if I heard something like this I would be worried or panicked, but...it just feels like everything is going to be alright. Such an odd feeling. Mei returns her attention back to the peach loving man-child. "I see, so it's magic they're putting up. No wonder there hasn't been any rumours around the palace. But it's alright, I've known for a while they were purposely letting me listen. It's Gyokuen, she would never be this careless. And besides, the only reason they let me listen was to have me accumulate enough hatred for them to completely fall since I'm not even half fallen." She whispers this under her breath. "Maybe it would've been better if I was half fallen." If I was at least half my rukh and magoi would be balanced out but.. my body is rejecting the smallest amount of black rukh I have and eventually my body will break. But before that I have something to do. Something I definitely won't let anyone else feel to have to do this. Stopping them from spreading anymore pain is my only regret before I die. "Judal, you like to kill right?"
"Huh? Of course I do! Fighting, war, blood! And Death. There isn't anything more interesting than that!" Judal exclaimed. His red eyes seemed to have glowed with the sun reflecting off making it seem like the color of blood was screaming.
"Then. Would you kill me?"
Cliff hanger! I know I haven't been really getting to anything interesting yet, but I assure you things are gonna get BIG.
