Love Story of a Cold-Bloody Man

Revealed

Kirana stared at the tapestry hanging on the pole of her living room. A map showing the connections between the Thai Pan dynasty and the Gaozu dynasty. Also some names of villages and hills are listed on the tapestry map.

'Yoside ... Gaozu dynasty, Choi Be hill, what does all that have to do with my past? Why is that shadow on my mind?' Kirana muttered in heart.

Re-observing the room after first stepping closer. A small hole in the middle of the map shifted Kirana's gaze. He approached the hole, peeking. It looks like a shelf that stands upright and some drawers that are tightly closed, like a secret storage.

"Yuki!" call him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Help me to pull this rug."

"For what, Your Grace?"

"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Hurry along! Help me!"

"Good!" They grabbed that thick little dusty thing, put it away together.

A bookcase as tall as a tall man was right in front of them. "Why did they hide this bookcase behind the tapestry?" Search Kirana curious. "Yuki! Help me rummage through this shelf!" her door.

Yuki just nodded in response to him.

Their hands began to busy ruffling the shelves. There are several important books of the Thai Pan dynasty. Kirana. Then back to shuffling.

His eyes were fixed on several drawers located under the shelves. Immediately he pulled one of the drawers that were tightly closed. Kirana was astonished to find dozens of crystals stored in a carved carved box. He put it back. Then opened some other drawers and found a perfectly formulated poison powder as well as some taels of silver and gold but put them back down.

Now only one drawer remains, Kirana opens again and finds a shabby shirt full of tears.

"Yuki, look!" demonstration. Yuki stared at a glance but immediately covered her mouth with one hand. "Geeh!" his screeches.

"What's wrong?"

"Th-what?"

"That's what? ask Kirana. He didn't answer. "Do you know about this shirt, Yuki? About, why would they keep it here?" Yuki was silent, her face expressionless. "Yuki?"

"Ahh." Yuki seemed to be flinched from her daydream.

"Why are you quiet?"

"Actually ...."

Yuki stopped her speech when she saw Kirana grabbing a green jeweled bracelet between the shabby clothes. Kirana caught something, I don't know what? Maybe an event in the past. Yuki just let her look at the bracelet.

At once Kirana closed her mouth trying to remember some of the events in her past. A shadow flashed on the face of a burly and handsome man smiling at him,

Kirana was still cursing as she kept trying to remember. Several past conversations began to break into his mind, an event at night, when a man placed a green gem bracelet on his wrist.

"Geeh!"

Kirana flinched, her chest tightened. The shadow of the past with Yosida began to appear in his mind. He began to remember the face of the man who was able to make him feel warm. "Yocide!" Suddenly Kirana gave her name. Yuki approached her immediately.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Kirana?"

"Kira?" Kirana. His brows furrowed looking at Yuki.

"Ah, sorry. I mean, princess Kiera," he said softly.

"No, Yuki. Just wait a minute ! What did you call me? Kirana?"

"Ah-iya-anu," he said. "I'm sorry for the wrong words, Your Honor."

"Do you .. know my past? Is it possible ... My name is Kirana? And, do you know my connection to Yoside? Yuki?"

Yuki was silent for a moment, a look of uneasy look enveloped him, his eyes glancing to and fro.

"Yuki, tell me the truth!" his insistence. Forcing Yuki to speak the truth. Silent. There were only the two of them in the room.

Yuki looked at her pushyly then slightly hissed. "All right, Your Majesty. I'll tell you the truth about who you are. But on some terms."

"Condition? What condition?"

Gluey! Yuki looked around, making sure it was safe without spies lurking and then approached Kirana. Clasping his five fingers on the edge of his lips, he said half a whisper. "Please promise not to tell anyone this!"

"Hm." Kirana looked straight.

Yuki begins to recount Kirana's past as the wife of Emperor Yosida, before being vilified for killing Kiera's daughter by her own in-laws. And the last one disappeared at night along with the destruction of his residence when he disappeared.

"really?"

"Then? After that? How did you get here? And who exactly are you?"

Yuki whispered again near Kirana's ear, saying that before the abduction, she was indeed a servant of Kirana's daughter at the Gaozu dynasty residence. He also recounted that the Gaozu dynasty had been devastated during the war against the forces of the Thai Pan dynasty.

Kirana increasingly gawked at the words of Yuki. "When did that happen?"

"A few days after our arrival here as hostage prisoners" Yuki said with teary eyes.

"What does that mean? ...." Kirana recalled the incident when Thai Pan told her to go do the task for a few days. And after returning, he came with hundreds of soldiers and women hostage.

"Geeh!" hiss Kirana who began to fall limp remembered all the events that had happened to her. Something that made his chest tight. As if to cut his heart.

"Sir, are you okay?" Yuki was a little worried looking at Kirana who looked limp.

"Hmm" he said, trying to get up to sit on the wall.

"My lord, there's one thing you should know." Kirana's eyes narrowed. "Ying Hyen was actually not a good woman. She's the queen mother, the mother-in-law who slandered you and made you end up here."

"What?" Kirana grew weak and started crying.

"My lord, you must be strong. We must be free with the ties of this Thai Pan dynasty."

Kirana was still unable to hold back her crying, her hand touching Yuki's shoulder. This time her mind began to focus on her husband Yosida. "Yuki, say! Where is Yosidaku?" she said with tears.

Yuki's eyes looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry, Your Honor. I'm sorry I didn't dare tell you the truth in the first place." He tightly embraced Kirana. "My lord, there's one more thing you should know."

"Kirana just stared still with her cry.

"Tomorrow is the day of the liberation of lord Yoside and some of his warriors."

"Fighter soldier? Meanin?" lirih. Now Kirana's memory is back. Remembering a gladiator show he watched a few days ago. "So, that death-defying Yoside yesterday? ...." His eyes widened.

"Yes, My Lord! He was the Emperor of Yosides. Your husband!"

"really? He must know where I am!"

"But, Your Highness. How, do not harm yourself. If just one of the palace's inhabitants knew, it would be fatal to your safety!"

"You're right, Yuki. Then how should I?" Kirana is getting out of control, besides being sad she is now starting to fidget thinking about how.

"I think I have a way to work around it" Yuki said

"You sure?"

"Hm."

"How is it?"

Yuki started whispering something in Kirana's ear. Kirana looked understanding.

Yosida and his five ex-soldiers are preparing. A bright hue on their faces. Obviously, that day was a day where they would breathe in the freshness of free air after fighting by risking their lives. It appears that dozens of people are witnesses to their freedom.

Ying Hyen peeked at him from a distance. He wanted to hold his son. But whatever the power, Thai Pan was with Yosida at that time. Which is why he might want to appear in front of Thai Pan.

"Congratulations on your freedom!" thai Pan said with a straight face. Yosida replied to him half-smiling.

"Don't be happy!" thai Pan Ledek.

"Sad. You don't have to say what you mean. I know, you must have prepared some of your bandits for me, right? Your bandits are not my opponent!" yosida lirih.

Thai Pan looks back furious after a moment of sneaky smile. "May you succeed" he said as he passed from before Yosida.

"Thank you" said Yosida from behind Thai Pan.

The Thai Pan dynasty horse-drawn carriage was ready at the back gate of the palace. Yuki purposely left by using an all-enclosed robe to cover up his identity. He drove the horse alone by carrying two crates placed in a stretcher. And a small scroll of messages tucked in the pocket of his robe.

Kyaa!

The four-horse leg beat bears witness to Yuki's journey away following the Yosides. For the sake of his devotion to Kirana's daughter, he desperately did everything for Kirana despite having to endanger her safety. 'May I manage to meet you, Mr. Yosida.' he murmured inwardly.
