The Bond of a Princess and a Prince
Episode 11
"Shifaruki Park? Strange place name?"
"The name sounds strange, but different from the contents of the place"
"What is the garden like?"
"Actually it was just a garden filled with various beautiful and fragrant flowers. Many couples come there often"
"Flower" the eyes of the noble Kimiko sparkled
"Right" Rei replied
"What if we go there!" Kimiko was excited
"Ahahaha, well-" Rei's words instantly came to a halt
"Hm? What's the matter Rei?" Ask Kimiko
Rei's face started to pale a little..
"Yahoooooo!!! Gawaaaattttt!!!" Shouted Rei suddenly
"R-rei a-what's up? What's so bad?" Kimiko asked a little frantically looking at Rei who suddenly shouted
Rei then directly held onto both of Kimiko's shoulders and looked at her a bit of horror for Kimiko who was looking at her.
"W-why are you?" Ask Kimiko
"Your highness.."
"Y-yes?"
"We forgot!" Exclaim Rei
"M-forget what?" Ask Kimiko
"Your Majesty, do you remember our first plan?"
"R-plan?"
"Aren't we just going out for a little while, but we've been out for a long time and it's possible that the king is looking for you" Rei said
Kimiko widened her eyes, she completely forgot about it.
"So bad, we need to get home soon. It would be terrible if Yoshiaki was looking for me and I wasn't in the palace" Kimiko said
"That's right, your majesty" Rei replied
Rei and Kimiko turned around and walked back to the castle.
"How could I forget it? I'm really stupid" muttered Kimiko
"You know how else, we had so much fun that we forgot about time" Rei replied
"This happened to me and Yoshiaki, too. Yoshiaki and I used to go home late at night" Kimiko said
"S-until late at night?" Rei said in disbelief
"That's true, but for a moment I'm not sorry either. I am so thankful we came home late. But in the end I've started to get to know Yoshiaki" Kimiko replied
"But this time I don't guarantee I'll regret it or not. I will definitely get angry with Yoshiaki and get punished from her" Kimiko continued
"Y-yah it seems like not just you, maybe I will also get the punishment "reply Rei while imagining what punishment will befall him when they get to the castle.
"Ugghh just thinking about it makes me dizzy" Kimiko said
They continued walking towards the castle.
But while on the way, suddenly their path was blocked by a crowd of people
"W-what is this? Why so many?" Ask Kimiko
"I-I don't know your highness, but we'd better get back to the palace" Rei replied
"Be good" Kimiko replied
Kimiko and Rei had intended to take a detour, but only a few steps did they stop their steps when they heard someone shouting..
"Please!!"
Kimiko and Rei immediately stopped their steps, they then turned around and heard the screaming sound again
"Please!!"
"S-the sound of someone screaming" Kimiko said
"D-where did it come from?" Rei said
The screams were heard more clearly
"Please!!"
"The voice came from the crowd" Rei said
Kimiko felt a bad feeling
Without saying anything, Kimiko immediately ran through the crowd of people.
"Your highness!" Rei exclaimed as he saw Kimiko suddenly running and barging through the crowd.
Rei immediately runs after Kimiko, though Rei is not only Kimiko's personal servant. She is also Kimiko's personal bodyguard
Kimiko kept breaking through the crowd, and the more she broke through. The screams grew louder and clearer.
"Please!!"
After jostling, Kimiko finally got out of the crowd and saw something happen.
Kimiko was shocked when she saw a girl sitting limp with a group of horrible men who drew a sword at her.
The scream was heard again, but it did not come from the girl.
Except from a middle-aged woman who kept asking for help and could Kimiko see the woman crying, her two hands were locked by 2 people.
"W-What is this." said Kimiko.
"I beg you to let go of my daughter, she did it by accident" said the middle-aged woman.
Little Kimiko began to understand the situation, the middle-aged woman was the mother of the girl.
The girl looked frightened, she looked like she wanted to cry but she was questioning it.
The girl looked the same age as Kimiko.
Kimiko was confused as to what the girl was doing wrong to make the man who drew his sword look angry.
Kimiko finally asked one of the residents.
"Actually what happened, did the girl do something wrong?" Ask Kimiko
"Miss you'd better take a look, don't interfere in their affairs if you want to survive" replied the person
"Whatchu mean? Please tell me exactly what happened? Please tell me" Kimiko said
"Look lady, actually the girl accidentally bumped into and spilled the man's drink. Therefore the man was very angry, then this is what happened" the man replied
"Just because it hit and accidentally spilled the drink of the man until he drew his sword?. Really cruel"
"That's true, but the men were also often cruel to us"
"Doing cruel? Whatchu mean?" Ask Kimiko
"The men often threatened us, every day we had to give them money and if we didn't give it to them they would kill us with their swords. They also often do things that are arbitrary and indecent"
"That cruel thing, does His Majesty know?" Ask Kimiko
"Not yet"
"Why not?!"
"Because they also threatened us, if we dare to report them to His Majesty then we will be finished off by them."
"Truly demon!" Said Kimiko who was already unable to hold back her emotions
Kimiko clenched her hands tightly restraining the turbulent anger.
With heavy steps he began to approach the girl.
"N-miss." said someone when they realized that Kimiko was in danger.
Kimiko approached the girl who was sitting limp, some residents were shocked when they saw Kimiko who was very brave to come forward and help the girl.
"Help me" said the girl in a hoarse voice to Kimiko
"Of course, I'll save you" Kimiko replied
Kimiko helped the girl stand up, the girl then stood up and immediately hugged Kimiko because she was too scared.
The men smiled cynically and mockingly at Kimiko.
Kimiko looked at them with anger.
"Ho ho it turns out you have guts too miss" booed one of them
"Currently, why am I afraid of******* as much as you are" Kimiko replied
"How dare you, are you tired of living, huh!!?. Do you know who we are?!!"
"I don't care who you are, why I know you. Absolutely useless" Kimiko replied
Rei who saw it only shuddered in horror because Kimiko without a second thought directly faced with the gang of bandits.
Rei was very worried about Kimiko..
The chief then drew his sword right in front of Kimiko.
"Who are you!" Ask the boss of the bandits
"What use am I to tell my name to disgusting rats like you" Kimiko replied
The chairman began to get angry because Kimiko dared to humiliate him and his subordinates.
Kimiko took off her wound with the girl.
"Stay behind me" Kimiko said
The girl just nodded in agreement then positioned herself right behind Kimiko.
"Is it just because of a lowly girl like her that you dare to give your life to us?!"
"Who do you call a lowly girl!!" Shouted Kimiko with her floor.
The men were quite amazed by Kimiko's bravery, but their hatred for Kimiko began to surge.
"Based on girls don't know themselves!!!" Their leader then attacked Kimiko with his sword.
Bbbrrruuuss!!
Sophia's blood tests began to flow and fall to the ground due to the sword attack.
"Y-Your highness." muttered Rei while frightened.

"Ahh finally my task is done as well" Yoshiaki said after successfully completing his task.
"My feet are cramped because I sit down for half a day" Yoshiaki said
"Thank you for completing your noble task, you should rest immediately" the prime minister replied
"Alright" Yoshiaki replied
Yoshiaki also cleared her tables of the documents she had completed.
He then started walking out of his study.
But when he came out, one of the guards approached him.
"What's wrong?" Yoshiaki asked when she saw one of the soldiers approaching her
"Sorry king, I just want to let you know that Her Majesty had come here. But I told the Queen's Majesty that the King was busy and could not meet anyone. Forgive me, King" said the guard
"What did he tell you his reason?" Ask Yoshiaki
"No, your honor, forgive me"
"It's okay, I'll go see him anyway. Resume your duties" Yoshiaki replied
"Your Majesty" the guard replied
Yoshiaki starts to step foot into her and Kimiko's room.
The birds chirping beautifully make anyone who hears his voice feel very calm.
A cold wind that breathed out a few strands of Yoshiaki hair.
"It felt like being free from the cage that always locked me up" Yoshiaki said
Several soldiers and servants bowed their respects to Yoshiaki.
"The excitement is very calming" Yoshiaki murmured
After a long time, Yoshiaki finally reached the door of her room.
He started to enter his room, but when he entered it it felt like something was blocking him
"This room is so quiet, where's Kimiko?" Cherry Yoshiaki
"Kimiko.kimiko..?" Yoshiaki called Kimiko and looked for her throughout this room.
Yoshiaki and Kimiko's room is spacious, though it is said to be a room.
But in their room there are still some other rooms.
"He's not there, is he out?" Yoshiaki wonders when she doesn't get Kimiko in her room
"Guardian..!" Call Yoshiaki
The summoned guard finally came
"What's your highness?" Ask the Guard
"Did you see Kimiko? Did he come out of his room?" Ask Yoshiaki
"I saw the Queen come out with her personal servant. And they haven't come back"
"When did they leave this room?" Ask Yoshiaki
"It's been a long time, if it wasn't 5 hours ago, your majesty"
"5 hours ago they came out and Kimiko hasn't returned to her room?"
"Yes your honor"
"Then find Kimiko, ask her to see me immediately" Yoshiaki said
"Okay, your honor, then excuse me" replied the Guard
"All right"
The guards went out and searched for Kimiko and her personal servant in the palace.
"5 hours ago he left and has not returned to his room, where has he gone until now not returned?" Yoshiaki muttered
Yoshiaki is not too dizzy, because he thinks Kimiko is walking around the palace alone.
While waiting for Kimiko's arrival, Yoshiaki then opens her photo album.
Although it is said to be a photo, but actually it is a painting adapted from reality.
Or easier as a replacement for Photos, because the kingdom still has no advanced technology.
There are many memories, ranging from photos of her as a child to photos of her who finally married.
30 Minutes later..
Yoshiaki finally finished looking at her photo album while recalling every incident in the photo.
"Ahh I now really miss papa" Yoshiaki murmured
"But by the way why is Kimiko so long ago, it's been half an hour but she hasn't come yet?" Cherry Yoshiaki
Yoshiaki got up from her seat then put the photo album back in its place.
Then suddenly the soldier he had ordered to find Kimiko finally came back.
But what confused him was that this soldier came back with a gasp of breath and a slight look of panic on his face.
"Where's Kimiko? Didn't she come back with you?" Ask Yoshiaki
"Y-his highness"
"What's wrong?"
"Y-Her Majesty the Queen is not in the palace. Me and some of the soldiers are already looking for the Queen in all corners of the palace. But we have not found where Her Majesty the Queen is" the Guardian said
"What!"
Yoshiaki was shocked when she heard that Kimiko was not in the palace.
"If he's not in the palace, then where does he go?"
"I don't know your majesty"
Then suddenly one soldier appeared again
Braak braak braak!!
"Your majesty!" The soldier who just came
"What else is it?!"
"W-there was a servant who saw her Majesty the Queen go out of the palace" said the soldier
"Kimiko out of the palace?! How can?!" Yoshiaki
"I don't know your majesty, I was just told by the waiter"
The atmosphere began to become rowdy when hearing Kimiko's disappearance.
"Make the waiter face me!" Yoshiaki
"Oh, your honor!" Reply the guard then went to execute Yoshiaki's command .
"Then you can go" Yoshiaki said
"Oh, your honor!" The other soldier then went out of the palace
Now in this room there is only one Yoshiaki.
"5 hours ago Kimiko came out and hasn't come back yet?! Plus the news that he left the palace without my permission? What the fuck?!" Annoyed Yoshiaki
A few minutes later, the waiter finally arrived.
"Your highness." call the servant
"Just get to the point, is it true that you saw Kimiko go out of the palace?" Ask Yoshiaki
"Yes, your honor, I see it"
"When did you see him come out?" Ask Yoshiaki
"If not wrong about 5 hours ago noble" replied the servant
"So Kimiko left the palace 5 hours ago?"
"Yes your honor"
"Is he with the soldiers?" Ask Yoshiaki
"Not your highness"
"So she went out on her own?!"
"Not even your majesty, there are 6 people coming with the Queen" the servant replied
"6 people?!"
"really"
"Do you know who they are?!"
"I had seen it, 5 people were the chef of this palace then the only one if I am not mistaken he is the personal servant of the Queen's majesty" the servant replied
"It's so weird that the guards should have reported this to me" Yoshiaki said
"S-that's a noble thing actually..."
"What's wrong? What exactly is it?"
"S-I saw her Majesty wearing an outfit similar to those chefs, even I saw that her highness the queen was also wearing a chef identification necklace. Her Majesty the Queen hid her face and covered her hair.
It seems that the Queen's majesty disguised herself so that she would not be caught by the guards" the servant replied
"So, it's not strange that I didn't get a report about Kimiko's passing. But why didn't he ask me for permission?" Cherry Yoshiaki
A few seconds later
"J-don't-don't." Yoshiaki said as she recalled something
"A-what's up, your majesty?!" Ask the Waiter
"Nothing, you quickly go" Yoshiaki replied
"Good noble" replied the waiter
The waiter then left the room.
"Didn't Kimiko come to me to ask my permission? But since he wasn't allowed to see me, he came out?!" Yoshiaki muttered
"But where did he go?!" Cherry Yoshiaki
"Guard!" Yoshiaki
