Prince Keiji Fujiwara? So the man I've been forced to marry me is prince Keiji Fujiwara? The first son of Hanbei emperor Fujiwara? Oh no! How'this? Even a moment ago I had almost killed him with my arrows ...
Inner Kikiyo began to fidget back because she realized this reality.
"Hc. Prepare a horse for me, Masamune-sama! We'll be back at the palace soon!" tell Prince Keiji in a voice so firm and charismatic.
"Okay, Prince Keiji. I will prepare a horse for the prince." said warlord Masamune with such a low tone of speech.
"Oh yes. Order also for the palace servants and all to prepare a wedding feast for me tomorrow! I'm going to marry Miss Kikiyo!" said Prince Keiji began to turn to look at Kikiyo who currently even looks like a person who is dazed and confused.
"Well, Prince Keiji." replied warlord Masamune obediently, the meskulun was actually filled with some question marks in his heart.
Like, remarry? Is it not enough to have 2 wives? Though his two wives were very beautiful and the daughter was so honorable and had a clear and dignified offspring. But why would Prince Keiji still want to remarry? And this time the prince Keiji even wanted to marry an archer girl who had this unclear background?
Maybe that's what warlords are thinking right now. But of course all those questions could only be kept very tight and neat by the warlord Masamune.
"Oh ... it-it .. uhm ... anu ..." said Kikiyo interjected and suddenly became stammered and misbehaved.
"Just calm! All the wedding business will be taken care of by my people. Let's now return to Fujiwara Castle, Miss." said Prince Keiji lightly.
Actually Kikiyo is the only daughter of a physician who is so famous in his village. But because a few years ago there was an attack in his village, the father was accidentally killed by one of them.
Her mother also died long enough from an illness. Until finally for 3 years, Kikiyo is just living alone, by being a female fighter and also as a healer in his small village.
Prince Keiji began to extend his right hand to help Kikiyo stand up. At first Kikiyo looked so doubtful, but eventually Kikiyo began to accept the suggestion and stood up.
...⚜⚜⚜...
Prince Keiji began to enter the territory of his palace and was followed by warlord Masamune and his soldiers. In the streets some of his people always pay tribute to the prince Keiji through it.
The Fujiwara kingdom area looks so beautiful and has air that is still so cool and natural. The classic red bridge built on the river always looks stunning by the soul of Dazai.
Because in modern times the bridge, ancient buildings like today are very rare. Even if it is in a certain area.
Apparently the presence of the prince Keiji was welcomed by his two wives. Empress Shiina and princess Boa looked so sparkling as they welcomed her husband's return.
But the smiles of the two beautiful women now began to fade when they saw Prince Keiji who came with a girl wearing a large white robe belonging to the prince Keiji.
Who's the girl?
The inner empress Shiina started to look a little gloomy back.
Unlike Boa's daughter who could still slightly cover up her unrest with her smile. Although actually in his heart is also very curious, who exactly is the girl who this time brought home by the husband.
"Shiina, Boa .. she is Kikiyo. And I'll marry her tomorrow. Please help Kikiyo for her wedding tomorrow." said Prince Keiji, sounding so dignified and wise, like the real figure.
"Wedding?" woe to Empress Shiina was so shocked as if she still could not believe what she had just heard from her husband.
His forehead was wrinkled and there was a disappointment painted on the face of the empress Shiina. While the daughter of Boa prefers to be quiet and obedient with what has been ordered by the husband.
"Yes, my wife Shina. I have to marry Kikiyo. I will tell you everything later." replied prince Keiji slowly and fixedly staring at his first wife hoping that Empress Shiina could accept Kikiyo's presence.
"My wife Boa. Please take Kikiyo to her room and help her clean up" Keiji told the court, turning to Boa's daughter.
"Well, Prince." princess Boa sailed slowly and obediently and began to invite Kikiyo to immediately go to her new room.
Before Kikiyo left them, the beautiful girl also paid her respects to empress Shiina and prince Keiji.
Empress Shiina still looked so glum as she looked at the backs of the Boa and Kikiyo princesses who had already walked further and further away from her.
"My wife is dear Shiina." said pangera Keiji as he grabbed his wife's clothes and faced her.
But apparently Empress Shiina immediately brushed off her husband's hands and turned back.
"I'll rest for a while. I don't feel well." said empress Shiina starting to wander away from Prince Keiji.
Prince Keiji followed him to his room.
"I want to rest. My head is so dizzy .." said Empress Shiina back when they reached the room.
"Do I need to call the palace physician? Or ... uhm ... What if Kikiyo checks you out, honey? In any case Kikiyo is also a healer" Prince Keiji suggested.
Hearing the name mentioned again by the husband immediately returned to make the empress feel increasingly upset again.
Yeaup! Which woman is willing to share her husband with another woman? While sharing with princess Boa alone, empress Shiina felt so sick and claustrophobic. Now she must feel it again, because her husband will marry a girl again.
Which woman's feelings aren't shattered when she sees all that? Even though Prince Keiji married the women for a reason, it still could not reduce the lara in heart.
"I beg you ... Right now I don't want to talk about her ..." said empress Shiina so softly and her pair of eyes had started to look teary.
"Shiina .. I'm sorry to you. But I have to marry her, Shiina. The village was attacked by a group of pirates. And again because ... uhm ... and because of something ... I had to marry her." prince Keiji tried to explain to empress Shiina.
"Will it always be like this? Do you always have to marry a girl when you help them?" empress Shiina asked sounded so quivering and stifling.
And of course the words from Empress Shiina were enough to make Prince Keiji feel guilty.
