The Secret Of The Kingdom

The Meeting of the Crown Princes

  The prince left the park after getting enough rest, he stepped on his feet with a relaxed figure increasingly shining when walking under the hot sun.

"Onii-sama" called someone as he passed by a fish pond not far from the royal garden.

The Prince's steps stopped when he heard the voice, Yuuren turned his head and smiled when he saw the owner of the voice.

She moved her feet slowly but steadily towards someone who had called out to her. Yuuren sat down cross-legged in front of a beautiful girl who looked like her.

"Onii-sama was in a hurry. What's up?" he said slowly, there was a faint frown on his forehead when he saw the amused expression of his brother.

"Not really, I actually have to see my uncle Shikaku right now" he replied calmly with a sweet smile, holding himself back from laughing when he saw his sister who was blushing in shame.

He thought to himself, what made his sister act like that.

"So, does Onii-sama have free time today?" ask the sister. Yuuren thought for a moment, he remembered today's agenda. Then he shook his head as he recalled his schedule today was very congested.

"Gomen ne Yuka-chan, nii-san is very busy today. We'll have a chat next time, okay?" yuuren said to her sister.

Yuuren felt uneasy after seeing Yukatta's disappointed look, but how else? This is his job as Crown Prince, right?

He always remembered the words of his father, that he should finish his duties well. Seeing his sister's face turning grim, Yuuren hurriedly reprimanded him again.

"Hey, don't be sad like that. Nii-san promised, right?" she hesitated a little, but Yuuren tried to comfort her sister.

Yuuren smiled in relief as she saw Yukatta nodding his head, a sign that he agreed.

"This is my sweet sister" he said with a faint smile.

"Gomene Yuka-chan, nii-san should leave now. Nii-san is unwilling to make Uncle Shikaku wait. See you." then.

Yuuren got up and left the place.

Now he stepped wide towards the place of the royal advisor.

"Nii-sama.you even spent a little time with me." muttered Yukatta sadly.

"Shikaku, I think let me go to that meeting" Kakashi said, looking at Shikaku.

Shikaku glared, not accepting. Didn't they talk about this?

"Why is that?" shikaku asked slowly, he saw Kakashi kneading his temple.

"Didn't you read it? In the invitation letter it is written that the Crown Prince must be present with his sense, and now you know what I mean Shikaku." replied Kakashi flatly.

He was upset, should his comrades-in-arms understand.

Shikaku stood firm, side-by-side while staring at his best friend sharply.

"I'm also Kakashi's sense, you have to remember that."

Kakashi sighed, confirming Shikaku's words.

"But you're a Shikaku royal advisor, the King is in dire need of your presence here" Kakashi replied.

Shikaku seemed to weigh in on Kakashi's answer and finally he relented.

"Alright, you will go with His Majesty. You're right the King needs me here." breaks up Shikaku, although there is a slight disrelief in his heart.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought Shikaku would insist on his opinion.

"Then I say retreat." she said as she moved.

When he opened the door, Kakashi was surprised that the door had opened first.

Kakashi nodded and smiled faintly.

"Has His Majesty prepared?" ask Kakashi.

Yuuren shook her head, she had indeed not prepared. After all, what does this sense talk about? Trained it? But he will go to another kingdom. That's why he went with Shikaku, and Kakashi already knew about this.

Kakashi smiled faintly as he looked at the Prince's confused look.

"Look, Your Majesty, you will go with me to attend the invitation of the Kurosawa kingdom" Kakashi said slowly.

"Aren't I going with my Uncle Shikaku?" yuuren replied in astonishment.

Kakashi shook his head when he heard the answer.

"No, Your Majesty, you will go with me. Get ready, we'll be leaving soon."

Yuuren looked dazed, but she quickly regained her senses.

"All right, I understand."

*******

On the other hand, the ladies and soldiers of Kurosawa kingdom are seen busy preparing a place to be used for the meeting of the Crown Princes and their teachers.

This meeting is held every five years by the Kurosawa kingdom and of course has been approved by other kingdoms, even they always attend the meeting.

The purpose of this meeting was to train the Crown Princes of each kingdom so that they could carry out their duties properly.

The Crown Princes will also be specially trained for one month, they will be trained by some people who are believed to make them stronger and wiser to be made a King later.

They are the ministers of the Kurosawa kingdom who have been trusted to carry out their duties well.

Like A will train their defense when attacked by the enemy. Mui who will train about the laws in the kingdom, both his own kingdom and neighbors. Then there is also Samui who will train about financial arrangements, and about others who will be taught based on the position of their respective Ministers.

They had already finished their preparations, the place could already be used for tomorrow. Yes because the Crown Princes will be staying there from tomorrow.

It is located to the south of Kurosawa kingdom and away from the crowds so that the participants can concentrate on their activities.

During the training period participants are prohibited from meeting anyone, including their family members. Even if it can only be in a precarious situation.

Their teachers are training, but they are different from them. The teachers were stationed north of Kurosawa kingdom, they would also learn the same from the Ministers of Kurosawa kingdom but slightly different from the Crown Princes.

Crown Prince Kurosawa is preparing himself to welcome their guests.

"H-hah..it's actually a troublesome thing." he muttered lazily.

"But you must do well with the crown prince." sneered someone just entered the royal crown prince Kurosawa's room.

"You've arrived? Not the show" the question was truncated.

The red-brick young man sat before the crown prince of Kurosawa kingdom. "I have a special invitation, right?" he is full of confidence.

"heh, you're this." Hidan clucked. Somehow he looked more relaxed when his best friend had arrived. "What the others have already.."

"We have arrived here, Prince." they said compactly.

One of them sat in an empty place, coiled with the crown prince.

Hidan snorted, chuckling softly afterwards. "alright...With this our team is complete." he said slowly. Instantly the room was full of teenagers his age.

Seriate....
