Touji Dynasty Chronicles

Act 12 - The law of human power

It came on the 3rd of October , Memona arrived at the village called "Снежный ком" together with Fishy and Nyx. Memona together with Fishy and Nyx waited for the arrival of Touji II , Nyx and Memona teased each other who has better jokes at the very beginning of waiting for Touji II.
Memona after a long wait started to get impatient and in between she started stomping her foot.
- huh where is he...? - Memona said to herself , but it was said loud enough that fishy decided to answer her :
- Don't worry , surely Touji II will be here soon.
- Let's hope so. - Nyx added , causing Memona to become more concerned .
- Nyx , You are not helping!- said fishy with a half angry voice.

- What? After all, you don't know what could have happened to you...- Nyx said and rolled his eyes.
- Nyx! - Fishy said his name and Memona continued quietly.
- Well... , sorry Memona..- he sighed and Fishy smiled mischievously.
- And that's the point!- said Fishy with a giggle.
Memona fell into silence , so did Fishy and Nyx suddenly saw a coach which did not look like a royal coach it was black in colour and from behind the windows you could see a window curtain with bows and various haberdashery coloured frills. Behind these windows and curtains, if you could see there was a person inside, it was not clear if it was two people or just one. The coach was driven by two horses , on the left the first horse was brown in colour , its coat was very expressive and in the reflection of the light it shone a little. To the right of the second horse, which was black in colour, but on its hooves white hair could also be seen. These horses looked expensive, professional and well-groomed. The coachman wore a hat and was dressed all in black. He had a long black frock coat and a white shirt, he did not look rich or poor. When Memona,Nyx and Fishy saw Memona's coach she thought to herself.
- Touji II!? Is it really Touji II! Please let it be him.-
Fishy at that time said :
- Well , here we have your friend , Memon!- Fishy smiled at her crossing her arms.
Finally, when the coach stopped for a minute, no one came out, then Touji II came out from behind the door to the coach and said, looking straight at the three people.
- Memona! Hello, and who is this? - Touji II asked with curiosity.
- These are my friends , Their names are Fishy and Nyx - She replied smiling directly at Touji II.
- I am Nyx.- The postman nodded gently to say who is who.
- I am Fishy! But you can also call me Fishy ! - Fishy smiled at him as well as Memona. The postman felt a little embarrassed at this point, but that was not important to him. Touji II told the coach driver that he could already leave and before that Touji II paid him for the transport at a fair price. After a while when the Four were already left alone Touji II began to speak :
" So , I have to tell you something .... even though I don't know Fishy or Nyx very well , as Memona's friends I will trust you.'' Memona smiled slightly after a moment , Fishy and Nyx were surprised by Touji II's decision , but Nyx nodded and Fishy also smiled as did Memona .
- So... when I escaped. I met 4 people , they were revolutionaries who want to kill my father and bring about a new government in the country. I also thought that my father's rule was not good, so I also wanted to change it.... by becoming a revolutionary." Touji II answered seriously, even though he was a child he understood many things and did not seem to be acting childishly at that moment.
- I changed my name to Louis as a cover so that no one would know I was the king's son.... but I haven't changed my clothes yet," said Touji II, Memona didn't say a word because she was shocked, Nyx also stopped himself from saying anything, he didn't know what to say.
Finally Touji II heard Fishy's voice saying :
- All right, since it is your decision what you are going to do we should respect it and not stop you from being what you want to be.- Fishy said reasonably, Memona and Nyx were shocked by Fishy's words because she had never said such a serious thing.
- I agree , it's up to you to decide your own path.- Nyx added a little annoyed , because he rarely agrees with Fishy. Memona continued to sit quietly until she finally said:
- I still don't know how you even decided to become a revolutionary. - After a while they hear an unfamiliar voice, but after a while they understand that this person is the most important pillar of power in Russia, that is Tsar.
A tall figure emerged from behind a wooden hut and began to clap , Touji II and the rest of the people were frightened by the sudden encounter with Tsar the Russian , especially Memona was frightened. Tsara's words spoke :
- Very surprised at the simple change of sides? Hmm... well , well what do we have here. I wanted to check on my subordinates and help them and here I am encountering my guard , the postman and others .... also encountering the King's Son by chance.- Tsar said seriously and coolly looking at himself in the same way as he spoke.
- Tsar Panini!?! What is Tsar doing here!?"- Touji II shouted frightened.
- Touji II calmly... he was saying why he was here... - Memona said so that Touji would calm down and not say anything, she knew that Tsar might take it as an insult.
- Well I would like to ask what the son of the king of France is doing here, but when I heard your conversation nothing needs to be explained. Well, you're lucky that I didn't attack France when you were running away, because you wouldn't have ended well, since I've already defeated the Poles," Tsar said crossing his arms, still with a serious expression on his face. Fishy then was more frightened than when she entered the room where Memona and Tsar were talking.
- Tsar, please do not tell the King of France that his son is here.- Memona bowed begging him.
Tsar seeing his childhood friend , begging not to inform the king of france about his son broke down a little and not pretending to be so cool he sighed.
- I won't do it because in my country everyone has to be treated well , despite whether they are an emigrant or not. By the way, I will not do something that others do not want to do. And now I have to say goodbye to you , I have more important things to do. Tsar nodded and after a while walked away from them. Memona bowed saying.
- Goodbye...- Memona felt relieved that her request had worked.
After a few minutes of silence Nyx,Fishy,Memona and Touji II decided to go to St. Petersburg on horseback and so they went there.
When they arrived in St Petersburg it was starting to get evening , Fishy and Nyx split up to go home and Memona stayed with Touji II deciding to enter the St Petersburg palace. At that time when Tsar was spending time in his room after a while he heard a knock. So he said:
- Please come in.- He said loudly enough to be heard to enter. His eyes turned out to be his mother named "Annushka". Tsar stood up a little half-conscious from his desk and his mother said.
- Priviet my son... I see that you continue to follow your father's path...- Annushka specifically reminded him of his father so that it would affect his emotions. Tsar got a little sad and looked down , it definitely worked on him. Annushka smiled , Tsar seeing his mother's smile was more disappointed to see her.
- So what are you getting at ? Do you want to play with me again like I was a small child ? Hmm?- Tsar said speaking coolly but one could still feel the emotionality. Annushka approached him a few steps and said :
-Son , son , son you don't understand anything.... Am I right? Your father was not fit to be Tsar , just like you.-.
When Tsar heard these words he was a little saddened again for this reason.
- Well , fortunately I am not only concerned with authority , but with the welfare of my subordinates. I do not need large portions of food to be enjoyed. It is they who should, because they deserve my kindness,†said Tsar.
- Hmm... I'm disappointed in you.... when I talk to you... I feel that I hated you from the very beginning.- Annushka admitted honestly while continuing to smile. Tsar did not look at his mother for a while.
- If you hate a person , you are defeated by him. Well , it seems to me dear mother , that your jealousy is towards me , that you want power .... I just have to confess one thing to you. I am not afraid of you , not like before. The only thing I am afraid of is fear itself. Nothing else.-  Tsar looked her straight in the eye , coolly and she looked a little shocked , because her son had never behaved like that. She felt that one more step and something dangerous could happen to her. After a moment of silence she quickly left Tsar's room slamming the door. Tsar sighed and sat down at his desk again, planning and thinking, but the thought of earlier times with his mother and how his father had died disturbed him. After a while Tsar heard a knock again and said:
- Please come in.
Memona and Touji II appeared before his eyes.
- Hm? Memona and Touji II? How can I help you? - Tsar asked them and Touji felt a little stressed, feeling that Tsar was cold and always serious.
- I would like to ask , would there be a chance of peace so far for Touji II?- Memona asked him a little stressed again. Tsar raised his eyebrow slightly and nodded.
- It would have been possible.-
Memona and Touji II were surprised that Tsar agreed.
- Tsar... thank you very much...- said Memona smiling at Tsar and also at Touji II.
- I also thank you.- Touji II added.
- No problem at all. I would also like to apologise to you for frightening you , I did not mean to frighten you or the like...- Tsar said looking at the cards on the desk.
- It's nothing like that, you don't need to apologise.- Memona said and touji nodded.
- Well... you can go now.- Tsar said looking back at them. Memona nodded her head.
- Farewell Tsar.-
- You also Farewell.-
After a while Touji II left Tsar's room and Memona slowly left even before she was at the exit she heard the words :
- Memona , please you don't have to treat me like that since we are friends. You can also call me by my name.- Tsar suggested to her , Memona after his suggestion smiled and said :
- Of course -.
Memona left Tsar's room and he was left alone.
