THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episode 50's. Answers to Suji's wait.

POVS. Suji Emperor.

Today we have all met our families again, but somehow my heart is so agitated. It was as if I was still thinking about Keiko's whereabouts. All this time I have felt guilty that I could not protect her, even in the depths of my heart. I love her so much, even wanting to make her an empress. He has given me a son who is so mighty, my son named Kenzi has the same good temperament as his mother. Suddenly in my long daydream, I accidentally dropped a bottle of ink on the table.

Gaggle.. Crackling.

The ink was splattered under the floor.

"Dad, what's going on?" Asked my son, as if he was surprised by the sound of falling ink that was currently scattered on the floor.

"No.. My son's. It seems I was too washed away in daydreams, why my heart was troubled thinking about your biological mother. I felt guilty for not being able to protect her, repeatedly thinking about how I could find Keiko. But still, I have no clear information about Keiko's whereabouts. I was very disappointed by Yiza's treatment of her, how much the woman who became empress right now did evil to Keiko." I took a breath and I pulled my hair while I was frustrated.

"Dad.. Be calm. I want to talk to you. I've met mom." My son's words surprised me.

"Huh, what did you say? You met Keiko? How did you meet Keiko?" I say to my son at this time. It was seen that Kenzi was making sure of the situation in my room and then he closed the door tightly and came back to me. My father already knew about the great secret that took place within the Yamada Kingdom and the Suji Kingdom. With a heavy heart I had to speak slowly, yesterday I met Keiko's mother. She was with Grandma Jisoo in the next village, I did not understand how they could meet but this secret seemed to open the veil of all the questions in my mind. Keiko's mother was the biological child of Consort Jisoo, the incident that occurred at my birth was like a reincarnation of Keiko's mother's birth. But the difference in fate that happened, poor Keiko's mother.. He's always wasted, while I'm still lucky to be in the kingdom." Kenzi said, looking me in the sharpest way.

"What?? Keiko is the biological child of Consort Jisoo? how did that happen?" I wonder at my son at this time.

"We have not known for a long time about the truth of Keiko's mother's identity.. The affair between Emperor Yamada and Consort Jisoo has given birth to Keiko to the world but my mother has a very sad story. He was banished by Emperor Yamada and found by one of the soldiers working in the Suji Kingdom. Until fate finally brought that karma back to life, he met you father and I was born in this world." He said firmly to me, his eyes glazed over as if he was holding the pain in his heart.

"Huh, so Keiko is now with Concubine Jisoo? I want to meet Keiko." I said to my son.

Not long after, my son nodded as he agreed to my current request.

"okay.. Alright, dad. Let's go to the next village, but we must be careful not to let Suzuka and Empress Yiza know about my mother's whereabouts." Say my son to me at this time. I nodded and we immediately went together to meet Keiko.

Arriving at the village next door, it was clear that there was a beautiful woman who had given birth to my son. He is right in front of me right now.

"Keiko, is that you?" I said in shock to see Consort Keiko's beautiful figure, even though she was long lost.

"Keiko, I'm sorry.. I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you. The deeds of Yiza, have made you suffer all this time. Let me go through my mistakes." I said to Keiko at the moment.

"Emperor Suji, come in! We better talk inside. I'm afraid that Empress Yiza will find out about my whereabouts." Said Keko who was so depressed when explaining about the figure of a woman named Yiza.

He seems to be very traumatized by what happened in the past. I followed her wishes, I immediately entered the house occupied by Consort Jisoo and also Keiko. Now that I'm sitting in the living room, I keep staring at her face. I don't want to stop staring at Keiko.

"Keiko, what's been going on all this time? I don't know how Yiza treated you. I'm grateful that I can still meet and see you right now." I said with a tight grip on Keiko's hand.

"That incident is over, Emperor Suji. Even though Empress Yiza has done terrible things to me and my son. But right now I'm happy because I can meet my real mother." Keiko said with a smile to me, how beautiful this view is. I can deal with a woman who has a heart as pure as silk, this figure of a woman is the mother of my proud son.

"alright.. Mom, dad. Now that we're together, I feel complete with the presence of you two. However, I still could not bring mother to enter the Suji Kingdom palace. I fear that Mother's life is threatened, because as we know Empress Yiza and Suzuka have a cunning temperament like Emperor Keytaro." Said my son by embracing both of us.

"Already, son. Don't think about me, you better save your people. Save the world from their evil, free the captives from the Kingdom of Keytaro. Create prosperity in this country. I always pray for you, my son, until the time comes for you to fight in the Black Valley." Said Keiko as if she cheered my son. Seen from a distance, Yuka approached me at this moment.

"Hi, Yuka.. How are you?" I asked the pure knight who is currently bringing me a drink.

"Well, Emperor Suji. I'm happy with all the secrets and reunite you." Say this sweet girl while soothing the heart of everyone who listens to her words.

"Dad.. Can I marry you, Yuka?" Ask my son with a smile.

"Of course, I can. Whatever makes you happy, I will always support you. But the marriage could not take place before the fight began. Keep in mind.. That 3 more days is the time of the second full moon, we will all fight in the Black Valley. Prepare yourself mentally, lest your feelings will destroy the burning spirit of the moment." My words warned Yuka and also Kenzi at this time.

They smiled and then they nodded as they understood my words.

"Well, if it's like that because we've gathered let's eat together." Concubine Jisoo said at this time, inviting us to eat together.

"Wah. cool. Kiita eats well..!" The cry of all welcomes the happiness that has now encircled our lives.
