After picking kakeru up Ranmaru, kakeru and Shindou went inside the castle to see Kazemaru. When they got inside the palace, Ranmaru immediately changed his clothes from his casual clothes to his formal clothing and then they went straight to the throne room. When they got to the throne room Ranmaru stepped forward and knelt before Kazemaru.

You have called father. - Ranmaru

Come up here Ranmaru. - Kazemaru

As you wish father. - Ranmaru

Ranmaru went up to the throne.

My people my son Ranmaru has returned to fulfil his duty as the crowned prince! He will go the prince camp next month let's all welcome him home! - Kazemaru

*(Crowd cheering)*

After the introductions Kazemaru called Kenji for him to meet his older twin brother.

Kenji I want you to meet Ranmaru, he is your older twin that was sent to banten for him to train and be responsible in handling affairs. - Kazemaru

I know we met already but I can't accept the fact that he is the crowned prince and not me! How can I be sure that he is more prepared than I am!? - Kenji

You will know when time comes. - Kazemaru

Father may I excuse myself for a minute it seems we have an uninvited guest. - Ranmaru

None sense how can there be an uninvited guest, when this room is protected by guards, and those guards are trained by our late grandfather. -Kenji

Ranmaru snapped his fingers and then Shindou opened the door and saw a man has kidnapped kyosuke.

Nobody moves or else this kid is toast. -Man

Let the boy go! I'm the one you want right!? - Kenji

No, the thing I want is the king's head! - Man

Ranmaru got irritated and went towards the man, when Ranmaru was almost near kyosuke bit the arm of the man and ran towards Ranmaru.

*(kyosuke bites the arm of the man)* Ranmaru-nii, pls. help nii -san! He was captured by one of his men they said that they were after the king's head and the queen's third son! Then they also said that they will kill the second prince and will make slave of you! So pls. help nii- san! If you don't they will be shipped to another country as slaves! - Kyosuke

I'll help them alright, so go to Shindou now and close your eyes if you don't want to see blood. -Ranmaru

I understand. - Kyosuke

When kyosuke went to Shindou, Ranmaru drew his sword and then the man attacked, kenji assumed that Ranmaru was about to get himself killed but Ranmaru dodge it like it was nothing then the man rolled on the floor. When the guards came to check the body the man was already dead.

Impossible! How can he kill the man when I didn't even saw him lift up his sword plus his sword is clean not even a single drop of blood was seen on his sword. - Kenji

It's not impossible look carefully at the tip of the sword. - Kazemaru

Wha- no way! How is it even possible? - Kenji

Ranmaru used his speed to strike the man with his sword w/o kakeru seeing on how he killed a man and Ranmaru always makes sure that the tip of his sword is clean aka ( w/o anyone noticing the blood) - Shindou

*(smiling)* is anybody hurt? - Ranmaru

No one is hurt your highness -soldier

Thank goodness. - Ranmaru
