The Bloody General Sword

The Eps 48

The gaze was sharp looking at General Geem who was eating, they were both having dinner in the tent, felt the bristles of General Geem bristling, inexplicably, coldness on his nape and sweat running down his back.

What the hell's going on? I had this fear when I was a child, when I was living with my father in Gem village near the Kyusu River. This kind of feeling I felt when I met him, General Ochtosk whom I had given to drink the water of the Kyusu river so that he turned into foam.

Without Renzai noticing that his eyes had turned jet-black, he kept looking down at his reflection from the water inside the glass.

"Renzai are you okay?"

"I'm fine, A. D."

General Geem refocused on his food, he felt that fear again, a sharp gaze killing from his front. Suddenly he dared to look at Renzai, they looked at each other, General Geem was silent, his eyes widened, but tried to behave normally.

"Dad will take Renzai's meeting, you can sleep in dad's room, tomorrow morning, we'll go back to Hangjang." He turned his eyes away, but from the corner of his eyes he glanced back at him. His sweat dropped, his nape felt cold, and he patted his daughter's head as he normally would.

The general came out of the tent with bated breath, he walked quickly towards his daughter's tent, he then peered from afar making sure that Renzai was still in his tent, he was still enjoying his food. With a hasty step she entered her daughter's tent and stared at her entire belongings. He then picked up a book hidden inside a rectangular chest, General Geem came out of it, carrying the chest while running.

General Geem arrived inside Kim hyun ki's tent, because the tent there was already empty so there would be no one to disturb him there. He then opened Renzai's rectangular chest. His hands trembled in fear, all the books about the Ochtosk kingdom gathered inside the coffin.

"History of the Kingdom of Ochtosk? Rise of the kingdom of Ochtosk." Under the books were pieces of the Ochtosk royal flag there. General Geem trembled, his breath up and down, he held the chest holding back his tears that were about to fall.

Renzai, you can't be that general, you're my daughter.

General Geem knelt on the floor crying sobbing, bowing while hugging his daughter's crate, he sobbed knowing the harsh reality he had to accept.

***

Someone walked behind him, leaving General Geem shocked to death.

"You, aren't you ...."

"Sst, General Geem, I am one of General Kimi ga's loyal followers. I may betray him, there is only one way to help your daughter and our general from the entanglement of this curse, take his sword, take it, separate him with his sword and take General Kimi Ga to the river Kyusu, if you don't do it, fate will repeat itself, he will continue to slaughter people, the same as in those days."

"You mean I'll...." General Geem shook his head loudly, "I won't do it, she is my daughter, how could a Father take away the life of his own daughter? That's not possible." General Geem clenched his hands tightly. Her tears were not held back.

"Please help me, how can I return my daughter."

"There is no other way, General. That's the only choice you'll make." Say one of the Akai. The general bowed while kneeling his tears fell.

The man had now left as if in the night wind.

***

The wind blew, the five Akai stood in the vast field covered with grass, the former battle was still left there. The four Akai surround one of the Akai, the Akai Rui.

"You have betrayed." Hatachi Kecam.

"A traitor can't stay with the general" Otaru said, raising his sword at Rui.

"You don't deserve to be with us anymore." Tutsima said it with a tone of anger and sadness at the same time.

"A betrayed Akai must die at the hands of another Akai." Matsue said so while closing her eyes, she was unwilling to look at Rui.

The man smiled bitterly, he looked at all of them. "I betrayed. I deserve to die. But let me live until then, until the General's own sword slashes my body, let me live." Rui looked at the four of them with a face of supplication.

Hatachi turned his face and held back his tears. "You're a fool, Rui, no more little friend of yours named Kimi Ga, no more of your first love, you realize he's General Ochtosk, you can't change your destiny." Hatachi shouted at him and left from him.

"Goodbye Rui, our paths and goals have been different. During being Akai with you for decades, I was proud to be with you, goodbye."

The four Akai have left him, now Rui is alone, he chose this path, he is willing to betray for the happiness of his little friend and his first love as a child, although it will never be reciprocated forever, in the days of the Ochtosk.

"Perhaps, you would have chosen the same path as me, if only you had seen how the happy smile and laughter of princess Kimi ga like I saw her. As his little friend, I just want to return that smile before he turns into a ruthless general." Rui murmured.

General Geem could not sleep that night, since knowing who his daughter was, he could never calm down. The face of the man, he was one of the great warriors.

"I now remember their faces, why did I just notice them? When I had given a kyusu river water drink to a woman who turned out to be their General, she turned into foam. I was unconscious at the time, and five men were there, crying for their general's death. One of them was the man earlier, but how could it be, that happened decades ago, why did they still look young?"

General Geem shook his head, "I have to do something, but I don't know what I'm going to do to my own daughter." he muttered as he lowered his head.

"Kill him before turning into General Kimi Ga."

General Geem was surprised instead of playing, he stared at that figure who was none other than the prince of Hangjang.

"Prince?" He muttered, "Why do you know about Renzai?"

The prince then fell silent, he curled his lips. "Because right now I have remembered who I really am. I am the prince of Yamagashi descended from the second King Ochtosk. It's the only way to stop General Kimi ga, there's no time left, when he has completely transformed into General Kimi Ga, then your daughter Lee Renzai is gone, she has fused with her own past, because your daughter is the present of General Kimi ga, she must be destroyed immediately, otherwise the kingdom of Hanjang could be hers easily.
