Chapter 4 - the royal guards' mission
The Lost Prince
Yuya POV
Yuto and I Knelt on the ground, seeking forgiveness from our fathers.
"Gomenasai Otosan" Yuto said
"2 generations of Royal Guards of King Akiyoshi. we failed you once again" the old man said as he looked into the sky and back at us.
"sorry to interrupt, but otosama , we have yet to fail you. we just need some more time .... and we need to see the Queen" I said.
"the Queen is dead"
"I know she's not. otosama, we'll bring the prince back, we will restore Aoihoshi. so please hide nothing more from us"
"we overheard your conversation. and we suspected it long ago since the Queen's body isn't found either" Yuto added.
both fathers sighed.
"That bastard king Minoru loved the Queen so he kept her alive for himself. for 20 years, she lived in that palace with the man who killed her husband and sent her family to eternal damnation. somewhere in the palace, she lives. where exactly, we don't know. but it'll be dangerous to look for her ."
"don't worry, otosama. Queen Lisa (wife of King Minoru) loves us, remember.moreover, as royal guards of King Minoru, we can move in and out of the palace freely" Yuto said.
"we have it all planned out, otosama. we have pledged our lives to Aoihoshi, we'll do what it takes to rescue our land. there's simply too many Yamada's dead and alive in Aoihoshi, so there's simply no way to locate the prince.Queen Umi is the only key to finding Prince Ainosuke. "I added
"my sons, Aoihoshi thank you for your bravery and perseverance. be safe, cause the prince will need both your help to return"
our fathers pat our shoulders and bidded goodbye.
Yuto and I looked at each other, as we both know that the dangerous journey to restore Aoihoshi has started and there's no backing out.
"Gambatte" we said to each other.
