Chapter 16

    We were shown to our rooms and it seemed like me and Luna's room was connected. She came into my room and asked, "So, how's everything so far?" "... It's fine. He hasn't said anything too stupid yet. The reason why I wanted to go on this trip was because of Izana," I answered. "Oh, you're tellin' me. I think he wants you BAD," She said. "Yeah..." I said. "Shall we go now?" She asked. "Yes," I said.

    We went to go have some tea with Raji and it was boring. No one talked till Shirayuki said, "Uhm, this tea is very good, is it good to you?" "Yes, of course. It is made with the finest of tea leaves to suit my pallet," Raji said. "I do have to say, this is the best tea I've ever had," I said. "Do you find the flowers in here beautiful, Prince Raji?" Shirayuki asked. "No, I find them a bit plain. This place needs more extravagant flowers," He said. "Yes, Of course... So um... Prince Raji?" Shirayuki asked. 'Uhhh, I'm bored!' I thought. "Yes?" He asked. "I think I'm gonna go outside a bit to get some fresh air," Shirayuki said. 'Something to do, finally!' I thought. "Oh, fine by me," he said and I sat my cup down and so did Shirayuki and we headed to Shirayuki's room.

   We went to her balcony and Obi asked, "It's a tough battle in there, isn't it?" "Hah, very much," Shirayuki said. "This view takes me back," Shirayuki said. "Yeah, it does. I remember when we were in the forest and I could see this view," I said. "I would like to go into town to see bars and such," Obi said. "Me and Akari's home was a bar," Shirayuki mentioned. "Oh, for real?" Obi asked. "Yeah, our grandparents ran it," I said. "I thought they were just pharmacists," Obi said.  "Well, that's where I learned about herbs," Shirayuki said. "Speaking of that, I thought you were born in the mountains," Obi said. "Well, we lived there when we were really young, but our grandparents took us in," I said.

    "Oh, I see... So who's this moon goddess you speak of?" Obi asked. "Well, she's a wonderful person from what I've heard," I said. "I'll take you guys to that dimension sometime, how about that?" Luna asked. "Sounds great," Shirayuki said with a smile. Then Raji came, "Ahem, since you've traveled a long journey, why not show you around this castle instead of one room?" Raji said. "Thank you, Prince Raji," Shirayuki said.

    While we were walking, Raji helped decide where to go and I didn't care, so I let Shirayuki pick. We decided on the greenhouse. The Obi started saying, "Going there is fine, but just to let you know, you're being watched from the shadows," I started looking around seeing guards and maids, but once Raji looked around, everyone started going back to their positions. "This is not a play!" Raji yelled. Then, he snapped his fingers, "If you'll follow me," He said and he led us to an underground tunnel.

    "This way we won't be watched," Raji said. "Don't you think we'll get lost?" Shirayuki asked. "These passages are for emergencies, it'd be difficult for someone who doesn't know it," He said. "What will we get lost?" I asked. "I've been here enough times, how rude!" He said. "I'm sorry, I apologize..." I said. He led us through the passage and we stopped, "Is that the way?" Shirayuki asked. "No it's down this way," He answered. Then we stopped at a fork in the road. Then, we went to the left side. "Hey, is it me or did we walk this way earlier?" I asked. Raji panicked, "Are we lost, your highness?" Shirayuki asked. "No, we're not, just be quiet! It's this way!" Raji said and snapped his fingers.

    "Um..." I said. "Yeah, I was wondering the same thing," Obi said. "Maybe there's a way to open the gate?" Shirayuki asked. "There are some chains we can pull over there..." Raji said. "If you say so, your highness," Obi said and walked over to the chain. "Ready when you are," Raji said and not too soon after that, the chains were pulled. "Hey, that wall moved!" Luna yelled. Obi then saved Raji because and arrow came shooting out of that wall toward Raji. "An arrow!" Shirayuki said. "Are you hurt, your highness?" Obi asked. "Yes... I remember that there are traps down here!" Raji said. "Maybe we should go back," I said. "How convenient," He said and then stepped on something to make an iron door fall to where we came from and the gate to open to where we need to go.

    "So, I guess let's move forward?" Luna asked. "What is going on!?" Raji asked. "We are wondering the same thing," Obi said. "Well, I didn't put the traps anywhere...! It's not my fault..." Raji said. "No one said it's your fault, why not stay put and wait for help," Shirayuki suggested. "No one comes here till morning, we're on our own till tomorrow," Raji said in a creepy voice. Then, we started walking for a long while. "God, are we done yet?" I asked. "Dunno," Obi said. "I hate it here!" Raji said and fell to his knees. "Are you ok, Prince Raji?" Luna asked. "Without a carriage, I can't continue anymore! You guys can go on!" He said. "We can't, you need to guide us," Shirayuki said. "Our lives are at stake in you don't remember!" Obi said.

    "Don't you think being together is all bad luck? Do you agree, Shirayuki?" Raji asked. "That's a different issue, Let's go, your highness! We can rely on your memory," Shirayuki said. "You don't have to tell me that!" Raji said and got up. Then, we moved forward. We then got to an area where there's water. My dress was short, so I didn't have to lift it and my boots were getting wet. Obi carried Raji on his shoulder and complained he's heavy. Then we got out and stopped at these steps, "Hey, can you guys wait a moment?" Obi asked and then started to run away. "Obi, wait-!" Shirayuki said. "I'll go after him," Luna said and ran after him. "Why is he going that way, hopefully not something bad," Raji said.

    Shirayuki and Raji started talking about something boring and the Luna and Obi came back with two children. "Let go!" One of them yelled. "Well, I got the culprits," Obi said. "What do you think you're doing, you two!?" Raji asked. "Lord brother!" Then, Obi let them down, "Greetings, I am Rona, The 1st Princess of Tanbarun and this is my younger brother," Rona greeted. "I am the 2nd Prince, Eugena," Eugena said. "1st Princess? It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Shirayuki," Shirayuki said and curtsied while I bowed since my dress is way too short for that. "I know, I've heard about you and your sister, Akari," Rona said. "Have you've been following us around here?!" Raji asked. "Princess Rona, Prince Eugena, do you know where the exit is?" Obi asked. "No, we lost our way here," Rona said. "I know a couple," Eugena said. "Why did you say that!? I wanted to watch a little longer!?" Rona said in anger. "I wanna go out!" Eugena yelled. "Stop you two and show us the way out!" Raji commanded.

    We made it to the greenhouse and Shirayuki got excited, "Wow, so many rare flowers and medical herbs too!" "Go on, take a look," Raji said sitting on a bench. "Wow, so pretty," I said fascinated. Then, I took a look around the greenhouse for a while. "Well, you don't see these every day, Princess," Luna said. "Yeah, This was an interesting day if you ask me. Raj isn't so bad I guess," I admitted. "So, how do you think Mitsuhide is doing right now?" Luna asked. "I think he's doing what I asked," I said holding a flower in my hand. "What is that Princess," She asked.

"Well, Protecting Zen and the castle,"
