Bab 2: Inevitable Rescue!
On March 25th, it's a morning filled with sadness in the air as half of the crimson capital was burnt last night and the massacre of the Royal family and Ryuuki is being held on trial for the massacre. as he keeps getting tortured day by day by the guards of the magistrate, he didn't tell anything to them as he's chained down in a prison.
Magistrate:- we will stop doing this to you If you would just open your mouth and tell us why did you kill your own parents.
Ryuuki smiles covered in blood and says "I'm under no obligation to answer your questions. moreover, my parents were nothing more than worthless fools who kept living under rules and still got outplayed"
Magistrate:- then what about your brother? did you also kill him as he was found dead in the river, not in the castle.
Ryuuki:- yes, I also killed him. I threw him in the river.
Magistrate:- now that clears it. soon you'll be put on trial and get your execution date. enjoy your current miserable situation as you're in.
a few days later...
as Ryuuki's execution date comes closer his injuries have been slowly healed. it was the night of full moon and half of the guards were asleep. a man with a cane in his hand comes to Ryuuki and saves him from the prison.
the next day, Ryuuki founds himself in a forest out of the capital and all of his injuries were treated by someone. he tries to remember what exactly happened but the only thing he remembers was that man's word before he saved him" let's make a deal. I'll save you from here and in return you'll owe me but before returning my favour you've to get stronger for me and yourself. your destination lies in the east." after Ryuuki remembers all this he says to himself "damn, I wasn't able to see his face clearly as I was losing consciousness."
Ryuuki starts moving towards the east of Kyoto as he sees his wanted poster all over town. Ryuuki manages to get a cloak, hat and a sword from one of the guards who secretly worked for that man,
Ryuuki says to himself in an annoying calm voice "tchh!! it's unbearable for me. imagine getting help from someone you don't even know. don't make me laugh. I'll not go to the east because of you it'd been on my mind ever since, that's why I was okay with being saved otherwise I'm better off dead."
"I don't know where my journey will take me, I don't even know what path should I take because the burdens on my shoulders are kept on increasing."
after crossing Kyoto, Ryuuki encounters a village whole burnt down but he was looking for a dojo(martial arts school). he saw the dojo he wanted to visit but it was all empty. there were few men near the dojo as Ryuuki asks them "did something happen here?" where the men replied " yes, don't you know what happened here last week? one of the students killed his own master here while it was a day off for other students." as Ryuuki says to himself " guess I've to find another place to train."
Ryuuki was travelling alone in the forest, a sudden voice came from the bush and he blocked the attack of arrows with his sword as Ryuuki's reflexes were extraordinary. where Ryuuki replies "come out if you've got some business with me, you coward!!" where the man hiding in the bush comes to Ryuuki at an extraordinary speed where both Ryuuki and that man's swords clash.
"being called a COWARD! now I can't let that slide" says the man with an exciting face and a smile on.
where Ryuuki says "I'm looking forward to it."
