Bab 15: Aoi is doomed.
"Kill princess Sakura". Kenji's soldiers aimed.
"Never surrender, surrender means death". Sakura shouted.
Her aim was at getting rid of Batolu, if that is not done king Shigeto can't be installed back to the throne. They are all Minamato traitors.
As she was about to attack General Akio, an arrow was fired at Regent princess Sakura. She knelt on the ground with her sword held downwards, buried inside the ground, grabbed her chest like she has myocardial infraction.
"Let's see who wins." General Kenji laughed. Sakura stares at Kenji while bleeding, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
The fired arrow didn't injure her that much because she was wearing an amor, it was the shock. Kenji suddenly swing his sword at her.
Sakura reciprocated and resisted it, fighting back and forth. Sakura was a warrior princess right from the day was born, she was trained in the generation of the warrior's. Before the regime of late Emperor Eiken, when the rebellion war started.
She risked her life at a very young age, to protect the imperial family and her siblings as the first child of the throne. She can be destroyed but can't be defeated, staring at Kenji's eyes straight and focused, with thier swords crossed against each other.
Loyal enuch sawyer got an information from their message bird, the letter attached to it is all about Regent Princess Sakura and the war between the rebels .
"Your majesty, princess Sakura has been shot in the battle". Enuch sawyer said panting.
"What, my sister Sakura". Emperor Daisuke banged his hands on the desk. Listening to this sad news the Emperor didn't think twice, his next move is to threaten the Regent.
Barging from his desk space, sawyer grabbed him, holding tightly. He whispered into his ear, "Your majesty, pull your self together. The Regent princess is not in the palace to save you".
Feelings of emotions over whelmed Daisuke, making his eyes teary. He fell on his knees, hitting his hand in the floor. Regent Aoi is the imperial rival, it was time to confirm consort Hazel's pregnancy.
"My lord, please pull yourself together. The doctors are around, everyone will be there including Regent Aoi".
"Despite all he has done and the mess he has put me, he turned me to a puppet everyone laughed at." The Emperor laments.
In the consort queens chambers, Regent Aoi ready brought the middle wives. To personally confirm consort Hazel's pregnancy. Beneath Hazel's blanket, I was laying underneath. Hazel was laying on the mattress with her head outside the blanket, and my hand pointed out to deceive Regent Aoi.
The midwife stepped aside, kneeling before consort Hazel. She placed her thumb on her wrist to palpate her pulse.. she instantly nodded, Regent Aoi smiled.
I can't feel any signs of pregnancy in her, "Your Excellency"
I was beneath the blanket smiling, we would not want regent Aoi to confirm her pregnancy, else she might be secretly executed. He would plan a coup against her, to kill her.
Outside the palace, all very important personnels gathered. The people there weren't much, it was just the Emperor, the dowager, Reina and her father.
The midvies was kneeling before the Emperor, together they held her wrist palpating her pulse. Suddenly, Aoi noticed they frowned their face bulging their eyes.
"My majesty, consort Hazel is eight weeks pregnant with a male child".
Everyone present was stunned by the midwives words, what a Mystery? Consort Hazel is pregnant for late Emperor Eiken.
Reina was not heartbroken, it wasn't her concern about Hazel's pregnancy. So far it's not for her husband, it belongs to late Emperor Eiken. The child is hers to nurture.
Regent Aoi grabbed his chest, he was in shock of the news he just heard. But she was not confirmed pregnant just now.
"Now consort Hazel is pregnant for my late father, to harm her is treason". Emperor Daisuke announced.
Regent Aoi and his children are doomed already, the best he can do to get his children out of the mess he has caused is to accept whatever the princess says and to re store impeached king shigeto back to the throne.
General wade came to place I was sitting. "Your Excellency," her highness is reporting to the palace tonight. He bowed.
I looked the Empress Dowager, she smirked. I can't think twice, allowing the scenario eat up my sanity. No one to run to, my child has committed treason, he can be executed.
The Emperor stood on his feet, he pulled me along side. Reina was heartbroken looking at them, "Daisuke." she shouted.
He didn't look back neither did he give her his attention, after shigeto has been installed the aidoru god ceremony will be performed.
The princess soldiers in the horse, captured General Kenji and Akio with a rope bonding then together. They were stripped off their amor and other uniforms, remaining the white inner covering.
They were tightly wrapped around theirs arms with a rope, sakura was unconscious. She was severely injured in the battle, scars and bruises all over her body. The black shirt she was putting on is already torn, her Golden amor has been broken down.
Returning to the palace she was looking tattered and unkept, Sakura was rescued with a palequinn. Inside the palequinn she was brought to the palace with Shigeto's help, while kenji and Akio are tied inside a wooden cage like slaves.
General Kenji and Akio didn't look before they leap, they taught they could easily get rid of Princess Sakura.
They were treated like slaves or criminals, what could have given them the audacity to try such a thing?
That very late evening they successfully made it to Yamato, I was so excited. Everything thing seems to work has she planned, general kenji and Akio has been dumped in the dungeon.
With several torture they didn't confess the coup they planned against the princess, they are useless children without their father's help.
The Emperor commanded they were locked in the dungeon very soon as they reach the palace. If proper care is not taken, general kenji and Akio might be executed.
Kenji has not had peace of mind ever since he returned home, he has put his entirety family into trouble, his sister might even be dethrone.
The Emperor was sitting in the imperial hall, sipping wine. Finally his mind was at rest.
I was emotionally satisfied, today her enemy would be executed like a slave, not only him and his brother. I can't keep re playing the scene amd memories of my mother and how she died in my head without been depressed.
General Kenji and Akio was on their knees outside the imperial hall, about to be excuted by slaughtering.
