Velvet Red

16: The Kingdom Hidden In The Leaves

  An: I COULDN'T THINK OF A NAME FOR THE KINGDOM XD

    Akaashi returned to the castle wrapping his side. Not waisting time on it, he won't to his study.
    " You're moves next Bokuto-san. How to counter act it is the question " Akaashi hissed grabbing his books. Thumbing through pages till he landed on the one he needed. A mean smirk kissing his lips.
   Idalia stood poking her head in watching the raven. The 4 year old pondering what she could to get her fathers attention.
   " Idalia. What are you sneaking around for? " Akaashi smiled turning to his daughter. Idalia giggled running to his side. The moon wrapping an arm around the star.
    " Why is mama reading these books.. They're not in Japanese " Idalia raised and eyebrow.
    "It's Latin my little velvet red. It's a book of spells" The raven picked his daughter up sitting her on the desk.
     "Why does mama need magic? "
    " You know the war I told you about? " His daughter nodding.
    " Mama is learning magic to help defeat the bad guys. "
    " :0 is uncle Kōkō helping defeat the bad guys? When can I see him again? I like uncle Kōkō! He's funny! " Idalia giggled. Akaashi dare not lie to his daughter again.
    " I don't know when or if you'll see him again. He's one of the bad guys"
    "Oh..." Idalia said her posture dropping. Her hair falling slightly loosing some of the curl. Akaashi felt his stone heart harden just ever so slightly. He wrapped his daughter into a hug.
    " I'm sorry babygirl.. Here. How about I teach you the basics of spell casting " Akaashi was trying his best to help cheer his happy girl back up. Idalia looked up a small little chip in her movements.
    " Really!? I gonna he a wizard like mama! " Idalia giggled looking over at the book. Akaashi smiled slightly ruffling her hair.

    Bokuto how ever was not in a study. Instead he was around a fire of a kingdom hidden in the leaves ( an: oop- shameless of me djjdjd)
    " So you're a real kingdom " Bokuto said looking around. House in the trees connected with rope bridges. Some on the ground for all the heavy things. Atsumu only nodded.
    " We're not a fairytale. We all live out here. All except 'Samu. He picked up a job workin' for that moon prince. " The blonde stated staring at the fire. Bokuto's head started working though. Maybe this was a good thing.
     " How well do you know the woods? " The sun asked looking towards the fox. Atsumu only laughed.
    " Yer kiddin'! We know everything about these woods! Every part. And every stone. "
    " Even the ones the Moon's use for trading? " Bokuto sounded like a kid in a candy store. The blonde only gave him a daring look.
   " And all the trails yer kingdom uses. "
   " Sir" A knight approached the kings getting on one knee. His curls falling in his face hiding him slightly.
   " I have information on the king Akaashi "
   " What is it Omi? " Atsumu stood up helping the knight stand.
    " Osamu has told us he's been learning magic. Dark magic. That of a witch. " The knight glanced at Bokuto.
     " Sir Bokuto " He nodded.
     " I believe this information would be vital to you. Yes? " The curly haired man said. The silver haired man nodded. The alliance was already forming between the Suns and the Kingdom hidden in the leaves.
     " Has Osamu told you anything else? " Bokuto stood walking to the knight.
    " Akaashi has started teaching his daughter the basics of spell casting. And he's informed princess Idalia that her uncle Kōkō is a bad guy"
    " Kiyoomi! " Atsumu warned.
     " Shh germ. Oh-" Kiyoomi realized then why he'd just screwed up on a big level. Atsumu groaned rolling his eyes.
    " So Akaashi is turning our daughter into a witch.. And has told her I'm a bad guy. Guess he's tired of lying. And if that's so.. Then she has another truth she needs to learn" Bokuto turned to the knight.
     " How often does Osamu give you Information? And how? " Kiyoomi only smirked.
     " Once a week. He tells the king he's going to help with supplies. When he's actually meeting me at a half way point. Sometimes I'll ride back with him. To kill suspicions. " The knight saw the gears in Bokuto's head spinning.
    " The next meeting is next Saturday. Maybe the princess will be getting a box delivered "kiyoomi started
    " With someone inside " Atsumu smirked.
     " Well.. We've been peaceful long enough. We can be your spies. The kingdom hidden in the leaves shall fight beside the sun army" Atsumu stated. The knight next to him giving a nod.
     " I will gladly fight for you sir Bokuto "
     " And I'll gladly fight next to you sir Kiyoomi "
