The Tradition of Destiny

08

It has now been a month since the marriage of Kenjiro and Lady Lou, and exactly 3 Weeks after Kenjiro was crowned the new King of the East.

Today there was a stirring up in the country. A very risky big decision has been made by Kenjiro. King Kenjiro just announced that he has decided that the Eastern country from tomorrow will be a country that is closed off from any social media. Everything that happens in the East will not be reported out by any media from abroad, if without Kenjiro's permission. If there is a single image or video or news about an Eastern country abroad without Kenjiro's permission, then the newsmakers and disseminators will be immediately sentenced to prison and even the death penalty.

Kenjiro's insanity was unacceptable to the members of the royal council, even Kenjiro's own father-in-law no longer had power over Kenjiro's decision as King.

"If you don't like my decision, then please leave your post right now, I won't cooperate with anyone who opposes me" Kenjiro said at a royal council meeting this afternoon.

"But Your Majesty, with the Eastern countries closed off from media access, it will greatly affect our economy. What about existing partnerships with other countries?" ask the Chairman of the Royal Council.

"The economy has not changed. Everything continues as usual, only the entire community is not allowed to use any social media. Internet networks across the country will be cut off. There is only an internet network inside my palace, so anyone who will upload any news, must get permission from me." said Kenjiro calmly.

"Then what about our communication or the community with people outside the country?" tanyanya again tried to open Kenjiro's mind that this decision was a big mistake.

"Did you forget how you communicated when there was no internet or phone? now do it again like that! Our country is a country that has the wealth that is needed by many countries out there, do not be afraid! They will continue to work with us. In addition, the cooperation contract that we have with all of them, it will not be possible for them to cancel, because they have to pay us a penalty if they withdraw from the cooperation." said Kenjiro fixed on his decision.

The meeting of the Royal Council was completed with a nil result, all able to be refuted by Kenjiro in order to keep running his decision. Kenjiro stayed alone in the room, closed his eyes and let out a big sigh as his head leaned back on the back of the chair.

"May you reappear soon. If I can't see you, then you can't see Hylen either. Wherever you are right now, please appear before my eyes." Inner Kenjiro on its own.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" reprimand a voice that Kenjiro has known since he was a child.

"Feng, I have to do this, I should be able to make him appear before me Feng. It's not fair that he can still see me from where he is now, but I can't see him even through the media. I have to do this Feng, I want him to appear before me." Kenjiro said without opening his eyes.

"I understand very well, sir. But you should rethink the risk of closing internet access across the country. If the public knew that the reason Master did this was only for the sake of finding him, it was likely that the position of Master as King would soon be taken over." Feng's advice.

"I really don't care if I lose this King's position. I really want to leave this country Feng." said Kenjiro in despair.

"Sir, you better postpone this decision and go calm yourself a few weeks, take a break from all these activities, maybe you can find a better way out to find him." said Feng trying to give input to Kenjiro.

Kenjiro opened his eyes then looked towards Feng who always only looked down when faced with Kenjiro.

"Feng, call the chairman of the Royal Council and say that I postpone any decision today, after which you accompany me for 2 Weeks in the Bamboo Forest" Kenjiro said.

"Okay sir, I will inform Her Majesty the Queen also to prepare." said servant Feng.

"No! Don't tell him anything! I just want to be with you! after all, my wife did not know anything about the bamboo forest, nor did I want her to know it forever." Kenjiro said firmly, and responded with a nod of Feng's butler.

"I'm waiting for you in the car." continued Kenjiro and exited the meeting room.

"May Miss Hylen be found soon, so that you can go back to living her life without feeling lost and a big hole in her heart can recover soon." feng's servant's prayer for his Master whom he had cared about like his own son.

As time goes on, Kenjiro and Hylen also continue to live their own lives. Kenjiro did not close access between his country and outside countries. However, everything about Kenjiro and royal court life is closed to the outside world. No one can take pictures of Kenjiro and Lady Lou anywhere.

Gongzie's grandfather, Father & Mother Olivia Lou, also died in a plane crash while on vacation. Kenjiro and Olivia Lou's marriage is not yet completed with the presence of a baby. The two had never had a holiday every time the two were together in the palace at the same time.

The state of the East was indeed very prosperous and peaceful under the arrangements of Kenjiro, but not within the Gongzie family. The seizure of the throne and property has continued since Gongzie's grandfather died, because Kenjiro as the greatest heir is now a King who has given up all his rights as Gongzie's greatest heir. Kenjiro has cut off all ties with Gongzie's extended family except for his grandmother, who now lives with him at the royal palace.

Five years is not an easy time for Hylen aka Brianna. Many cooking competitions he has participated in, from losing in the initial competitions to continuing to increase finally being able to stand as a champion, he said, even now Brianna has been able to lift the hotel where he works it into a 5-star hotel of course with a strategy from Keanu's intelligent brain. Brianna and Keanu have always been together for 5 years, always supporting and encouraging each other in the face of failure. But unfortunately Keanu attention since the first only considered and accepted by Brianna as a brother and close friends only.

Although Brianna always admired Keanu, but Brianna's heart could not be separated from the bond of his secret promise with Kenjiro. Brianna continues to climb the mountain of success to be at the top and become the greatest chef in the world, for one thing Kenjiro came to pick her up.

"Hey! you're daydreaming again." scolded Keanu when he saw Brianna daydreaming for herself at the hotel rooftop after noon she arrived from winning an early round of world-class cooking competitions.

"Hi.." said Brianna sweetly smiling at Keanu.

"What are you thinking?" ask Keanu.

"nothing. Why haven't you come home yet?" brianna asked Keanu.

"I just finished the meeting, there will be a big event at this hotel next month" Keanu replied.

"I know you're back, and this is your habit every time you come back from a competition. So I know that you must be here." Keanu continued as if he understood what Brianna was going to ask next.

Brianna just smiled then looked back at the dark sky above.

"Keanu, how did you feel when you finally made it to the highest peak? making your father's little hotel now a five-star hotel even exclusive and highly regarded." asked Brianna.

"I can breathe a sigh of relief, I can rest for a moment when I first arrive at the top, but after that I can not freely move anywhere at any time, being at the top of a mountain was not easy to survive. The shaking and blowing of the wind is actually getting louder in your life, slip one leg then you will fall down and if you do not quickly find a footing then you will be destroyed when your body falls to the bottom." said Keanu.

"Yes, you're right. But everyone always wants to be at the highest peak, not even a few who use fraudulent ways to be at the top" said Brianna.

"I don't agree with many people about achieving a peak of success, because success never really has a peak at its end. Remember the philosophy, above the sky there is always another sky? So what is in this life should be that we as humans should never stop trying in everything, because when we are complacent and stop trying, we should never stop trying, then it's time we start slipping and eventually fall." said Keanu and Brianna just silent.

"Are you thinking of withdrawing from this competition?" keanu asked slightly suspicious of Brianna's words.

"Somehow, I'm just starting to get tired of all this competition. I feel that all this will eventually only be in vain even if I manage to reach the world champion." Brianna said.

"What was your initial goal? you've always tried and I see you never even despair of facing any challenge. What exactly do you want to achieve all this time? Are you not really chasing this world champion? Is there anything else you want to accomplish?" asked Keanu, and Brianna just let out a long sigh staring silently at Keanu.
