The Secret Of The Kingdom

Believe It Or Not

Morning in the Kingdom of Tachibana.

The guards and maids who were assigned to escort the crown prince were already waiting in front of the residence. They lined up while waiting as their lord passed by.

Yuuren clasped Sara's hand, holding her until she got into the carriage. Sara frowned because her husband and best friend did not get into the car.

"Your majesty, you're not in?" ask Sara astonished.

Yuuren smiled faintly, he rubbed the head of his best friend. "You know for yourself, don't you, princess? I'd rather ride a horse." Yuuren replied calmly.

Sara almost forgot about it.

"You take it easy, princess, I will always be by your side. So don't worry, don't be afraid." said Yuuren, the crown prince closed the door of the carriage, he walked towards his horse which was now being held by eunuchs.

Aoki Shikamaru looked at the crown prince, the pineapple-pointed man waiting for a decree from him.

"Shikamaru, I'm taking my place. Don't let him go inside" he said.

Shikamaru nodded slowly, the pineapple pigtailed man knew what his crown son meant. "Okay, your honor."

Yuuren told the coachman to run the train, he immediately left. And Yuuren did not forget that he already had an appointment with Hidan. From what he heard from the eunuch, Hidan had already left early this morning. Maybe Hidan got there first.

Yuuren drove his horse slowly, riding beside Sara's carriage. As promised, he will always be next to Sara.

Unlike Yuuren, Gaara had prepared to visit Sasori's body at the funeral home. The red-haired man was already wearing white clothes in honor of Sasori.

Not only Gaara, everyone in Takahashi kingdom also wears a white Yukata along with his headband.

Gaara stepped slowly, coming out of his residence. On the way to the funeral home. Gaara crossed paths with Temari and Eiji, but Gaara had no intention of greeting his elder brother. He looked down at his brother and sister-in-law.

The right crossroads appeared at Temari's temple, he was infuriated by the cold demeanor of his red-haired sister. It was very desirable for Temari to give a blow to his sister's head. But Temari was forced to resist his wishes.

Eventually the three of them walked together towards the funeral home. While Kankurou had arrived at the funeral home, the brown-haired man was praying fervently.

Temari who stepped in first into the funeral home. He sat near Kankurou, after Eiji and Gaara. They both pray.

'Nii-sama, I beg for your blessing. I want to marry Sara officially.' Gaara said in his heart. Then his eyelids opened, staring at Sasori's painting.

After paying her respects, Gaara came out of the funeral home. The red-haired man looked up at the sky, hoping that his plan would work.

From a distance, Yuuren sees Hidan's entourage right at the border. He glanced at Sara, his best friend did not know if he would meet Hidan. Yuuren thrust his horse forward, approaching Hidan who was waiting for him.

"I'm sorry I made you wait for the noble one" Yuuren said after they went hand in hand.

Hidan just nodded and frowned slightly at the horse carriage behind Yuuren. But it was only for a moment, Hidan looked back at the crown prince of Tachibana.

"Without the crown prince asking to meet here.?"

Yuuren looked at Hidan calmly, though her heart was troubled. "I just want to get the word out to you, Your Majesty" he said in a calm tone.

"Prime minister, Takashi Sasori is gone."

But he had to make sure, why the son of tachibana mahkita did this.

Yuuren sighed softly, knowing it would be hard to talk to Hidan about Sasori. But he doesn't have much time. Sasori's funeral will be accelerated, as his rotten body may be exposed to the poison.

"Your majesty, maybe you don't trust me. If you're not disinclined, let's follow me to Takahashi kingdom." Yuuren led back an army from his kingdom.

"That's also if you want to see your noble friend" he said before leaving.

Hidan froze, his mind busy looking for answers. Whether he should follow Yuuren, or keep silent back to the Kurosawa kingdom.

While Sara heard everything, she did not expect Yuuren to tell Hidan in the middle of the border like this.

Yuuren held tightly to the saddle of her horse, she felt annoyed that Hidan did not believe her words. 'Why should I lie to him? That doesn't benefit me at all either. Moreover, it's about the death of someone, he couldn't possibly let this be a joke right?

"Think once." - grumbled.

Far behind, after Hidan thought hard. Eventually the king of Kurosawa kingdom followed Yuuren. He also wanted to ascertain whether what Yuuren said was true or not. Because lately Hidan is difficult to call his red friend.

"Let me now follow the words of the crown prince of Tachibana" he thought.

After they had traveled quite a distance, they finally reached Takahashi Kingdom.

Gaara who was walking towards his residence suddenly stopped to see the arrival of the group of Yuuren and Hidan. The ai tattooed man stared at the horse carriage behind Yuuren.

"That must be Sara." he muttered.

Yuuren got off her horse, and approached Sara's carriage. "Sara, we've arrived. Come down, he is waiting for you." Yuuren said in a soft tone.

Sara's body stiffened, the girl took a few breaths and slowly threw it away. After feeling she had relaxed, Sara opened the door of her train.

Yuuren smiled at him, Sara knew. Yuuren must have been encouraging for him.

For Sara to strengthen her heart, she must meet Sasori. "This is the last time Sara, you have to be strong" he said in his heart.

Sara received a helping hand from Yuuren, the girl got off the carriage. Her beautiful and graceful figure was able to make everyone not blink when looking at her.

Sara's gaze was fixed on the ai tattooed man who was standing waiting for their arrival. Sara stared at the clothes Gaara was wearing, as well as the servants and bodyguards.

They appear to wear white Yukata, while those who have just come wear colorful clothes.

Yuuren told his bodyguards and servants to join in honor of Sasori's death. And after Yuuren told them, they hurriedly changed into clothes.

"Do we also need to change into noble clothes?" ask one of Hidan's servants.

Hidan, who was angry at himself, stared intently at his servants. "Didn't crown prince Tachibana Yuuren have announced that? You guys should change clothes too. Sasori was still prime minister when he lost his life."

Hearing this they compactly lowered their heads, quickly the servants of Hidan went to change their clothes.

Hidan let out a heavy sigh, he was angry and regretful for not trusting Yuuren.

"But I haven't seen Sasori." he muttered, yes it's possible that Sasori is still alive. Hidan tried to deny it.
