The Secret Of The Kingdom

First Meeting

Yuuren spurred her horse faster when she saw the horse Kakashi was riding running almost leaving her.

Now they are on their way to the Kurosawa kingdom.

Yuuren frowned when she saw Kakashi suddenly stop.

"What's Sensei? Why did it suddenly stop?" asked Yuuren in surprise.

"We should rest first His Majesty." Kakashi's reply received a protest from the Prince.

"No Sensei, we must hurry to Kurosawa kingdom. The more we buy time, we'll be left behind and I don't want that to happen." Yuuren said firmly.

Kakashi who heard him smiled faintly, his student is now growing up. Not just the physical, but the way he thinks has changed.

"Alright then, we continue the journey" Kakashi said as he led back their journey.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination safely.

Now they were entering the Kurosawa kingdom gate, for a moment Yuuren thought why he left alone with his sense after seeing the Crown Princes escorted by several people.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be able to ride that fast, even though His Majesty's age was only 11" Kakashi said honestly.

Yuuren flinched upon hearing the sentence that Kakashi had thrown.

"Sensei is too much, I think it is also thanks to the training of sensei?"

"really?" kakashi asked while looking suspiciously at his Prince.

"Yes! That's right" Yuuren replied firmly trying to make Kakashi believe him and he smiled faintly when he saw Kakashi believe him.

"Kakashi Hinata?" say someone.

"Hi, Hasegawa-sama?" kakashi replied slowly, he recognized this person. His long silver hair, as well as his tall posture and not forgetting his big smile as usual.

"Hurry up?" he was a little surprised.

"The crown prince wants to be fast to the Kurosawa kingdom, he does not want to come late."

"So so"

"Well.. That's how it is." replied Kakashi while scratching his head which was actually not itchy.

Yuuren glanced at the two people in turn, thinking whether the man who spoke to her sense was Kakashi's brother or father. Physically, they look very similar.

Kakashi knows what his Prince is thinking because he will explain before the Prince misunderstands. Kakashi got off his horse and approached Yuuren who was still riding his favorite horse.

"Your Majesty, introduce him is Hasegawa-sama Minister of State for the Kurosawa kingdom" he said slowly and firmly.

Yuuren looked at the person Kakashi introduced her to who happened to be staring at her as well. Yuuren got off her horse and stood in front of Kakashi.

"Include me Tachibana Yuuren, Crown Prince of the Tachibana kingdom" Yuuren said with a faint smile.

"So he's the son of King Raido?" ask Hasegawa to Kakashi.

"Yes, he was the first son of the noble King Raido."

"How many children does Raido have?"

"Two men and one woman"

Hasegawa fell silent after hearing this, then smiled at them.

"Let me show you the meeting place" Hasegawa said as he led the entrance to the palace.

Deidara seemed to be busy himself with the files in his hand.

"You look very busy" said Sasori suddenly. Breaking the silence.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm busy." Deidara said.

"What are you doing." it's Yamaguchi's turn to ask.

"It's not important, I'm just reading the Crown Princes' attendance list."

Sasori and Yamaguchi looked at each other in wonder.

"When have you been interested in that?"

"Just now." Deidara answered honestly.

"Hmm, the kingdoms of Kurama, Kazahana and Ameyuri could not attend" Deidara said with one eyebrow raised.

"Reason?"

"Because they don't have the Crown Prince" Deidara explained with a sinless smile.

The only one who heard was nodding his head in a swetdrop. Since when did they forget that the kingdom did not have a prince?

"Did Takahashi take part?" sasori asked carefully.

"Yes, Takahashi kingdom is coming. Only one prince came."

"How come? Don't they have two princes?" asked Yamaguchi who had been silent earlier.

Deidara sniffed his shoulders no matter what.

"You look so serious" said the figure who suddenly appeared from the direction of the door.

"Compact tumben" he said again.

"Those who follow me" they answered compactly again.

After answering like that they stared intently at each other, as if speaking through the eyes.

The one who heard him snorted laughter, while the one who was laughed at put on a gloomy look.

After everything had returned to normal, he decided to ask them back.

"Where are the others?" he wondered because there were only three of them in this room.

"Not come Your Majesty" Deidara replied in a mocking tone.

Hidan glances sharply at Deidara's sign that he doesn't like it.

The one who found the gaze was just smiling innocently.

"Itona is coming with her sister, Lin and Koharu are in the library" Sasori replied.

"Kei and Kakoru?"

"We are here Your Majesty" replied the newly arrived Kei.

Hidan turned his head and looked intently at the young man named Kei earlier.

"I told you how many times? Don't call me that name if we're only here" he said firmly.

They just smiled at Deidara intending to code, but it seemed Deidara did not understand their code.

Tok tok!

"Lake in!" sasori replied firmly.

Srrrgh

"What's wrong?" hidan asked quietly after seeing who the person who knocked on the door had been.

"Your Majesty is asked to appear before the King and Queen" replied the courtly servant.

"All right, you can go"

"Sumimasen" said the waiter.

"Hmm" Hidan only mumbled softly, looking at his companions for a moment before moving on to fulfill the call from Kaa-san and her Tou-san.

"Well, we've arrived" Hasegawa said suddenly as they were in front of the hall.

"Arigato Hasegawa-sama" Kakashi said softly with a faint smile.

"Hm, please come in. There is still time to rest for a while before the meeting starts." Hasegawa told them.

"Alright, once again I thank you Hasegawa-sama."

"No need to say Kakashi, anyways you guys are guests here. Guests are the same as the King, we must welcome him well." Hasegawa said with a smile.

They went inside after Hasegawa left them.

Yuuren was surprised when she saw

the Crown Princes have come and gathered at the meeting place, not least he who just joined.

Then Yuuren sat in the place that had been provided according to the name of the kingdom that was listed in the seat.

Yuuren sat down uneasily, to be honest he was nervous because this was the first time Yuuren had attended such a meeting.

None of them he knew, especially the views of those who seemed unusual to him. He sighed softly to reduce his nervousness and it worked, Yuuren was grateful in her heart because her nervousness was gone.

Yuuren set his gaze all over the seats that each of the royal heirs had filled like her, he frowned when he saw that there was an empty chair.

Yuuren was grateful that she was not late to come to this event, at least not to let him embarrass himself.

'How long will this event begin, I can die of boredom' Inner Yuuren shouted.

"Baginda the King has arrived!" exclaim the royal guard.

Yuuren flinched, she cursed herself for still having time to daydream at a time like this.

He looked at the wide open door and saw the King entering the room followed by a young man who looked like the King.

'Prince kah?' Tenzo looked up, his gaze still fixed on the young man who was now sitting beside the King.

He nodded back as the young man looked back at him.

The nervousness he had felt was now back present because he was caught staring at someone he did not know.

Kurosawa Tobirama the King looked intently at all the Crown Princes.

He also saw some empty seats of the kingdom that could not attend the meeting.

He sighed for a moment and glanced at his son from the tail of an eye.

Tobirama smiled very thinly, when he saw the son just silent and sat quietly by his side.

Seriate...
