✔️| The 2 Kingdoms

Heading toward the kingdom

Back at Amu and Sera...

Just like plan, Takeru has ordered Misao to take Amu to visit his kingdoms and stay there for a few days for Amu's safety.

"Dad, could Sera come with me? I feel uncomfortable being alone there." Amu begged. Takeru sighed.

"Sure, Sera could come with you. But you and her better not cause trouble for Misao." Takeru warned. Amu merely nodded.

"Arigato, Dad!" she hugged Takeru and ran back to her room to pack. Mako walked in after Amu ran out.

"Look like she is fine now." Mako said weakly.

"Mako, you should stay in bed. You're still weak." Takeru angrily shouted.

"Gomen, Takeru. I'm fine, you see." Mako tried to protest. Takeru immediately walked to Mako and helped her.

"Don't worry. I'll make them pay for what they did to you." Takeru muttered under his breath.

"Takeru, what did you do?" Mako questioned.

"You don't need to know." Takeru stated.

"But..." Mako said. But Takeru looked in her eyes, telling her not to talk about this. Mako stay silent.

At Tusk's kingdom,...

"Where's my son?" Chiaki angrily demanded to know.

"We don't know, your majesty. We're still on the search for him." The guard said, he was frightened by Chiaki's temper. Kotoha sat there, crying.

"Chiaki, what should we do? What if something happen to him?" Kotoha cried. Chiaki patted her head, to tell is going to be okay.

Suddenly, a maid came bursting in, "Your majesty, your highness. Someone destroyed all of our crops."

"What?" Chiaki asked, demanding to know more.

"I found this next to the destroy crop fields." The maid said, handing Chiaki the letter.

Chiaki read the letter:

Chiaki, this is what you get for telling someone to shoot at Mako. I can't believe you. I always thought you looked up Mako as your sister. But if you're this cruel and dragged Mako into this. You'll pay for it.

'Nee-chan got shot?!' Chiaki said in his thought.

"What's wrong, Chiaki?" Kotoha asked. Chiaki snapped out of his thought.

He cleared his throat, "You two go out first." The guard and the maid nodded. After they left, Kotoha restated her question.

"Nee-chan got shot. And Takeru is blaming it on us." Chiaki explained.

"Mako-chan got shot! But who?" Kotoha asked.

"I don't know. But he think is was us, so he destroy all of our crop!" Chiaki voice raised.

"I don't believe it." Kotoha covered her mouth.

"Believe it! He is such a bastard. How could he blame on us without any proofs?..." Chiaki stated, "... Maybe he is the cause of Tusk and his friends' disappearance. I'm going to have a talk with him." Chiaki clenched his fist and stormed out.

"Wait, Chiaki..." Kotoha said, following him.

Sera and Amu was packing their stuffs. Sera just finished writing the letter for Yamato and the others. She whistled and her pigeon came flying.

"Aqua, give this to Yamato. Understood?" Sera requested. The pigeon nodded.

"Sera-chan. Are you done?" Amu asked. Sera nodded. Misao was waiting at the main gate, as he saw Amu and Sera walked, he bowed.

"Amu, nice to see you again. And you too, Sera." Misao politely stated.

"Nice to see you again too, Misao-kun." Amu smiled. Sera just nodded.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." Misao excitedly said and helped them put their bags on the carriage.

"Your highness," the guard opened the carriage door and closed after the 3 entered.

'I see, you guys began to realize where I hid the gem, but it won't be that easy to get them.' The figure smirked. "I won't let you help Tusk that easily Amu."

So had you guys have some clues or deduction who is the mysterious figure? Here's chapter 12, hope you guys enjoy it!
