AKINA

~• The Rise Of The Emperal's Daughter •~

( The Truth part 2 )

Inside the underground training room, there's still a room for lunch and dorms where the mens can stay. And here I am also sitting in a chair in Lord Ti Yu's another office here in underground.

He's pouring a tea now in his cup and I told him I don't want one. He sips at it and stayed silent for a minute. I also remain silent, I don't know how to ask him without getting suspicious. He might think I'm crazy for minding there business.

But I'm also curious about those times. I don't know why but there this part of me to know badly what happen to the King.

Lord Ti Yu was about to talk when someone enters his office.

"My Lord-oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you have a gues-.."

I look at the familiar voice behind me and he immediately stop talking too as he sees me.

"Akina?"

"Kai?"

We both shout in unison. Not again, please tell me I'm not seeing this man's face again. Why is he even in here? Don't tell me.....

"What are you doing here?"

"Kai, is one of my secret warrior student"

Lord Ti Yu answer me instead of Kai. And why is that? He was just a merchant. How did he get so lucky?

"How about you, what are you doing in here?"

Kai ask looking at me.

"I bought her here"

Lord Ti yu said. Ok, I think it's better to let Lord Ti Yu answer all our questions since he's been cutting us off.

"How come?"

"She had the King's Raikan Necklace"

Kai's eyes goes wide after hearing those words to Lord Ti Yu. What's with the people and there gasping? Is this necklace really important to them?

I mean it is the King's pendant but I don't see anything special about it. It's just a big metal pendant. Well somehow it is special because it's also my mother's.....

"Wait a minute"

Both of them look at me. Now I'm totally confused. If this is the King's most valuable belonging, then why did it fall into my mother's hand? Don't tell me my mother steal it? Oh come on that's nonsense. My mother wouldn't do that.

"If this is the King's necklace, so why on earth my mother had it?"

I said looking at Lord Ti Yu, I knew he knew something about this. I can feel it. He stayed silent for a minute, I can't bare it the longer he stayed silent the more my heart beat fast. I don't know why but I'm nervous.

"Are you sure your mother didn't ste-ok I'll shut up"

He immediately said as I glared at him before he could finish his sentence.

"I mean why do your mother had it, it's impossible. It's a very valuable necklace the King won't just gave it away......unless"

He stops. He fucking stop at a very peck. He averted his eyes from me to Lord Ti Yu.

"I-is this......it's true isn't it?"

He ask Lord Ti Yu. What is it? Are they keeping a secret?

"True what?"

They didn't answer me. Looking at Kai, he was only looking at Lord Ti Yu then after seconds of the Lord's silence his eyes grew wide. Why are they doing this?

"Will somebody please tell me what's going on? I can't handle this secr-"

"Unless your mother is.....Hona"

"H-how.. ."

I stumble with my words.

"How did you k-know?"

"Is your mother Hona"

Lord Ti Yu look at me. It was not a question it's more like statement.

"She is my mother"

I don't know what emotion is Lord Ti Yu was showing me. He stand up from sitting on his chair and walk in fronts of me, he's hands found it's way to both of my shoulder.

He seems surprised, and relieved?

"If you are Hona's daughter then you are the rightful one to be our new emperor"

It didn't dig down in my brain. I don't know what his saying.

"W-what do you mean?"

"You are the King's daughter"

I gasp a harp air. No words came out of my mouth. He is joking right now right? I look at Kai but he is only smiling. Why? Why is this happening. This isn't exactly wha in my mind since day one.

"No"

"What?"

"No! I'm not the late Emperor's daughter. This is not happening. Tell me you're just making that up"

"But we didn't Akina"

Kai was the one who answers.

"Your mother Hona was a servant in this palace long ago, but eventually the King fell inlove with your mother's grace fullness and they unexpectedly had you"

I move away from them, no.

"I'm not the King's daughter, my Mama told me that my father was a merchant that died from an illness, and that's it!"

"That's the only thing your mother want you to know"

"How would you know"

I ask Kai. I can't hold it anymore. My tears burst from my eyes. Warm tears flow down my cheeks.

"I don't know. But I'm sure your mother did think you'd be like this if she told you"

I don't want to talk anymore, why am I suddenly feeling weak now? I don't know if I want to believe that, but if I knew that it will be such a big impact on me. I didn't travel from Fa Tan to here. I should have just directly kill Xhu Ban.

My head starts to feel heavy. It's because of the lack of sleep and maybe I'm stress from all of this, all of the thinking ang knowing and pretending I'm strong on my own but I'm not. The wound in my back where Miss Dhaipa hit me with a whip is sting again. It might be from the sweat.

Damn it. Why am I feeling so weak.

"Akina? Are you ok?"

I can hear Kai ask but my head starts to spin around and all I could remember is blackout.
