182 Leaving Habakar (1/2)

Ryuu glanced towards the person who identified himself as Liang Meng who was currently kneeling with his hands cupped and his head bowed in front of Ryuu. Suddenly it struck like thunder to him the markings on him were that of one of the regiments of Royal Guards who actively act guard the core zone from unauthorized intrusion as well as act as Guard for his eldest sister.

Ryuu gave a small cough before he spoke, ”Please raise your head Captain Liang Meng, if I may inquire about the purpose of your visit.”

Liang Meng raised his head as he produced an ornate cylindrical box in front of him as he spoke, ”Your Highness, Her Majesty send a personal message for and ordered us to escort you back.”

Ryuu's brow furrowed in thought as he thought, 'Why did my sister send what seemed like a Royal Decree for me to return back.'

Ryuu studied the cylindrical box as he thought, 'hmmm it seemed like those puzzles the third mistress used to give me to play as a child.'

He used a few combinations on the dials on top of the cylindrical box and soon with a hiss the box opened revealing a jade slip inside it, Ryuu picked it up as he put it against his forehead and a quick insertion of Ki he had the contains of the slip was known to him, as he went through it Ryuu cracked a smile, as the jade slip destroyed itself.

He stored the box inside his space ring as he turned towards the Emperor and sweat dropped upon seeing the look of fear at many people present some of them looked as if ready to run, 'Well seems like my sister's guards can be scary.', he cleared his throat as he spoke, ”Your Majesty I wish to convey my deepest apologizes as owing to private reasons I have been recalled back as such I will have to take my leave from your wonderful party.”

The Emperor Tsuramatsu wanted nothing more than for Ryuu to leave currently, the guard kneeling behind Ryuu was not only scaring him but also everyone present as such he forced a smile on his face the last thing he needed was annoying Ryuu and meet a swift end, the guard was strong enough to deal with any and everyone present.

The Emperor stood from his seat as he spoke, ”Please Prince Ryuu you do not have to apologize for anything I understand as family is important, but I would love if you would visit my country and stay as my guest in my palace the next time.”

Ryuu just gave a short bow towards the Emperor as Tsuji stepped forward, ”Royal father with your permission I wish to see Daoist Ryuu off.”

Tsuramatsu: ”You may my daughter.”

With that Ryuu left the garden with Tsuji as Captain Liang Meng trailed behind him.

Tsuji spoke with a hint of sadness on her voice, ”So I guess you will be leaving then, Ryuu.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Yes I will be but who knows we might meet again in the future, Senior Tsuji.”

NO words were spoken as Tsuji escorted him towards the palace entrance before facing each other, ”Well then Senior Tsuji I bid you fare well.”

Tsuji nodded at that as she spoke, ”I hope that you may have good fortune in your future adventures.”, with that she leaned forward before kissing Ryuu on his left cheek.

Ryuu blushed a little as Tsuji spoke, ”This was my way of thanking you for all the help you gave us.”
