Betrayal of the rising star

Description

A five-parter fanfic flavoured with thrills, love and heartbreaks at every corner, leaving you breathless yet craving for more.

Set against the backdrop of pre-modernised Japan, love, hate and betrayal within a majestic Kingdom are allowed to mature into a complex web that embroil both the weak and strong.The royalties and ones with political will are faced with their inner temptations and greed, and often trades their humanity for power and riches.

It is a time where fairytales remain fairytales, happy endings are fragments of our imaginations, freedom and dreams are nothing but fallacies for the weak, and true love prevails only with tears and bloodshed. Even kinship is put to test.

 

Foreword

The future of Aoihoshi turns bleak overnight as the shocking news from the Kingdom travels to the ears of the people, leaving them in a state of confusion. The assasination of the almighty King Akiyoshi Ryunosuke has caused a shock wave and politicians have forecasted a rewrite of history as the fate of the Kingdom remains uncertain. The struggles for power amongst the 2 legitimate sons, Kamiki Ryunosuke and Yuya Ryunosuke of the late King became more apparent, and there were speculations of a possible conspiracy that have led to the murder of the King. An independent investigation council was formed under the leadership of Kamiki Rynosuke, the eldest son, to investigate the death of his father. The investigations have crippled Yuya and his followers and soon, the initial power balance between the 2 brothers have shifted to the eldest. The court officials, with the influence of the Queen, support the crowning of Kamiki as the new King of Aoihoshi. Supporters of Yuya openly protested against the pending court decision, but were suprisingly prosecuted under various laws by the independent investigation council and some disappeared. With fear rampant among the land, the crowning was underway swiftly. 

In order for the succession, another family was naturalise into the picture, the Shida Manor who has served the generations of Kings in Aoihoshi as Head General of the Aoihoshi army. The youngest daughter of the family, Shida Mirai, was the childhood sweetheart of Kamiki Ryunosuke became the most likely candidate for Queen. However, things do not always go as plan. A sudden change of air puts the Kingdom and the Shida Manor in opposition, and the Shida Manor soon become trapped in a delicate situation that can cause the entire clan's extermination. The Okamoto Manor, the second in command, became the next potental family capable of offering a daughter's hand in marriage. 

The only thing standing in the way of the crowning of the throne, was just one secret that was swept under the carpet for 10 years... The secret involves a once pure, warming childhood memory and a banished royalty, and if ever it returns to light, it will jeopardise the status quo and tip the power standing. In a time of uncertainty that tears many families apart and kept many in fears and anxiety, Aoihoshi saw a group of highly skilled vigilantes whose identity remains unknown. Could this be related to the secret the Kingdom tried to hide.

Chapter 9: So, in the end Aoihoshi merged into Hikaru's kingdom... never thought such occurence would be the solution, but well, I couldn't think any other way for Mirai and Ryosuke to be together and at the same time Aoihoshi was still taken care well. Anyway, so happy that finally Ryosuke reunited with his wife, son, and best friend! Yay. Thanks for this awesome fic, Mei-chan XD

Chapter 8: I just finished reading it now, gomen... Anyway, I don't know how to start. *sigh* What is wrong with these people?! Particularly Ryosuke... he saved the whole of Aoihoshi and its people. Then he even allowed the people, who should have been treated as his enemies, to live. He has been so selfless all this time, can't he at least try to be selfish just for the sake of his one true love? This is just too painful beyond words... I can't take why Mirai and Ryosuke should suffer though they love each other unconditionally. They deserve happiness! And so, I'll be stalking this story til the end! Woooh~ I actually like the relationship Mirai and Yuto has now, and Hikaru is such a nice man...I do hope he stays good through the end. :) Well, the part with Ayame is not a fave though. xP

Kyaaaa! Thanks again for such nice chapter! It was heartbreaking yet so addictive as well. Will be stalking the next chapters then! Ganbatte! :)
