Imperial Destiny-[ Kouha Ren x Reader ]

Chp::9--Arrival

  It was dawn when you found everyone at the palace getting ready for your voyage. Along with the Sindrian King, the Kou nobles as well as you were now at the dock. Sinbad and his men moved to the ship and told you that they'll be going earlier since he needed to report to everyone about Kou's visit in their kingdom.

And so, their ship left. As the Kou Empire's ship were still being loaded with the luggages and goods, you noticed Hakuryuu and Kouyoku's excited faces. You approached them and greeted.

" Good Morning, Hakuryuu, Kougyoku. It seems like you're all set for today " you smiled

They smiled back and answered.

" Yes, We are. "

You looked around and noticed that the other Kou Princes were there as well but not Kouha. You can't deny that he really did hurt you last night. Those words, just struck you so bad but still, you wanted him to be there.

A hint of sadness were seen on your face and they noticed this. Just then, a hand was thrown on your shoulder and you quickly turned to meet the familliar ruby eyes of the magi.

" Judal? " you said surprised

" So there's no stopping this, huh? " he asked

" Yeah, but don't worry. I'm not staying long. I'll be right back " you answered

" Well, take care of yourself okay? " he smiled and ruffled your hair

You blushed a bit and nodded. Without anyone noticing, Koumei, glanced at you with an unsure look on his face. Just then, a flashback from what happened earlier suddenly occured.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" (y/n) and the others are leaving today. Let's go. " he said

Kouha, who was staring at a distance in the balcony turned to his elder brother.

" I'm not going... " he said in a low, sad voice

" Not going? Why? " Koumei wondered

" Its... A long story... "

The red haired prince noticed the sadness in his younger brother's face. He could easily tell that something bad happened between the two of you, making Kouha not interested to come.

" Did you argue with (y/n) , huh Kouha? " he suddenly interogated

The pink haired didn't answer.

" What happened? " Koumei asked again

The third prince sighed before answering. He turned back to the balcony view before spitting a word.

" Yeah... I said some awful things to her and I...I think I really hurt her...Very much "

There, his elder brother figured it out. That's why.

" What did you say to her? " Koumei continued

" That I... I don't care about her... " his voice was softer than before

" I see... But the truth is that you 'like' her, don't you? " Koumei patted his brother's back

He just nodded but deep inside Kouha, something was growing.

' I don't just like her... I LOVE her... '

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With that, Koumei's flashback ended. Everything was set for the voyage and so, you, Kougyoku and Hakuryuu entered the ship. It was about an hour ago when the Sindrian ship left and was probably nearing Sindria now. And so, after everything was set, the ship signalled and started moving.
