Thanks for everything guys brace yourselves for this one, you'll want to jump through the screen.
"So where do we want to go?" Yona asks everyone, Yoon answers first.
"Actually I want to visit Ik-Soo again it's been a few months since we've seen him and I'm worried he's gone and forgotten to eat or something"
"Yeah that sounds good lets go see him" Yona says, they stop in on a town to get some supplies for the trip, a lot of people are out and they're all talking excitedly.
"Hey what's happening?" Yoon asks one of the girls chatting.
"Oh haven't you heard? The Princess of the Kai Empire is travelling with the King, her father to Hiryuu Castle, they're saying it could be to discuss betrothal"
"Betrothal?" Yona asks keeping her hood up but the girls answer anyway.
"Yeah people are saying she's going to marry the new king, I bet she's beautiful…" the girls start talking back at one another and the group moves on, gets their supplies and leave.
"It makes sense" Jae-ha is the first to speak.
"Yeah if he married this princess he's get support from the Kai Empire it makes sense" Hak agrees.
"I know" Yona says stopping to turn to them.
"But this girl has no idea what she's getting into" she turns back and no one brings it up again.
The group keep travelling over the next few days every village they visit they are all talking excitedly about the foreign princess.
"I hear she has the most beautiful blue eyes"
"I hear she has light red hair"
"Oh I can't wait for the wedding!"
"Oh I guess they will have children too, young royals how wonderful!"
"The king is very handsome"
"Oh I wish I could met her they say Princess Kiara is unlike another princess"
"Hey what did you just say?!" Yona suddenly asks, interrupting.
"Uh the Kai Princess is unlike any other?"
"No before that what's her name?"
"Princess Kiara, I heard that was her name" Yona looks back at her friends in shock.
"We need to go now" Hak says, Yona nods and they leave immediately.
"You don't really think?" Kija says as they walk down a path.
"God I hope not" Yoon says, Shin-ah nods.
"We'll reach Ik-Soo in about an hour, we'll ask him, he'll know" none of them said anything but they picked up their pace.
"Ik-Soo are you here?!" Yoon yelled.
"Oh good I knew you'd get here soon" Ik-Soo said, he looked like a mess but he also looked serious.
"How have you been?" Yoon asks going right to him and pulling out his medical supplies, out of habit.
"Good I just got back from the Kai Empire too"
"Why did you go there?" Hak asks.
"I had a girl to meet you met her too, she fed me actually to make up for not being about to pay you back"
"You met Kiara?" Kija asks.
"Yes"
"Is she really the princess of the Kai Empire?" Jae-ha asks.
"Yes fate has a funny way of introducing people, she has a hard time ahead" Ik-Soo says grimacing at Yoon dabbing a scape on his cheek.
"You don't say she's being married to a murderer!" Hak yells.
"That can't be helped, not now" he says.
"I am not going to let this girl be hurt like I was" Yona says.
"You can't stop it" Ik-Soo says sadly.
"He's going to kill her father" Zeno suddenly says, Ik-Soo nods.
"Shit that way he can control not only Kouka Kingdom but the Kai Empire too, by marrying Kiara" Hak says.
"What do we do?" Kija asks
"I told her she'd be okay" he realises closing his eyes.
"Zeno will save her" Zeno says suddenly.
"Whoa hold up" Jae-ha says standing in front of Zeno.
"If we go anywhere near the caste we will put the princess in danger" Zeno looks seriously into Jae-ha's eyes and he struggled not so shiver under it.
"Zeno has said before, with the power of the four dragons we can take one castle easily, Zeno can do this alone they can't kill me" he says moving around Jae-ha.
"Zeno stop" Yona says stepping in front of him.
"I'm glad you want to help but this seems more than that, what aren't you telling us?" Zeno doesn't say anything he just looks at the ground.
"She isn't her, not in body anyway" Ik-Soo says.
"But it is her isn't' it?" Zeno says looking to Ik-Soo.
"Yes her soul is the same"
"Whose soul?" Yona asks.
"Kiara, her soul is the same as the girl Zeno married Kaya was her name, she died young and left Zeno, the other dragons knew her too, and she was precious to us all"
"Zeno" Yona says softly
"Did you know? Is that why you've been so quiet?"
"Zeno felt something, something Zeno couldn't explain until now, Zeno will not let her be hurt by that man" Yona understands.
"Neither will I, we're going to Hiryuu Castle and we are going to help her"
"Fates wheels are spinning here princess even you cannot halt them" Ik-Soo warns.
"What else can I do?" Yona asks.
"I couldn't say, but I know you will do what you believe is right, just remember your way is not the only way" Yona nods and without even being there for fifteen minutes the group heads off again, Yoon had checked Ik-Soo for injuries, patched him up and restocked his food.
"Destination princess?" Jae-ha asks.
"Hiryuu Castle" she says simply no one argues not even Hak as they head out.
I don't know about you but I want to transport through the page and protect her too, so you can see I'm going away from the manga now since Kaya actually didn't know the other dragons but I'm going to say she did, I love Zeno! Actually I love them all for various reasons. Tell me what you think and hold on for the next chapter!
