9 Queens Reques (1/2)

”That is one thing I wanted to discuss with you Shaman Iore.”

”Please, just call me Iore my queen.”

”Then just call me Harrah!” the queen said.

He is a bit surprised, ”how dare I am my queen to...”

”Please? You must practice it now!” Harrah convinced him. Her eyes were sparkling like a cute pet.

”Then your requests my-- I mean lady Harrah? I am ready to hear them.” At least, he could say something else aside of her true title.

Harrah made a short moment of silence then smiles. ”That would do.” she agreed on him calling her 'lady's instead.

She really is like the previous queens of the land, the grandmothers of the previous great Kings. Iore thought.

”Now, Iore...” her gaze has become serious. ”I want you to pretend you haven't found it yet and that, I lost my memories then I am just an ordinary person.”

Iore is confused. How he could do that!? They've waited for so long, ”But my--, er, lady Harrahina.” He can't agree on it yet.

”Please, Iore!” Harrah convinces him.

Staring at this girl's innocent like kitten face, can he refuse? No, he must not yet give in right away but he will listen to her reason more. He let her continued.

”You know, I want to explore this place without wearing my title.”

He doesn't understand it yet then one of the guardians speak out.

”We can't believe either of the queen's request.” Byakko who speak out first.

”Yes, I long to come out from here but we have to stay for a little while more,” Genbu added.

Seiryuu who's most bad-tempered among the five stayed silent. Hiryuu and Suzaku are the guardians who never question whatever their kings decision.

Iore has so many questions about the queen's request.

”It is just, I was born into a very important family and so, going outside is not easy without bodyguards around me. Anywhere I go must have security measures! I dreamed to wander the world without people recognizing me!” Harrah spill out happily. She even dancing around while saying those.

”Please Iore!” Harrah staring at here sweetly, begging.

”But lady Harrahina,” he filled with astonishment.

”I understand the situation of this land. That's one thing I wanted to see by my own eyes. But I want to visit the places without revealing who really I am. Please, can you trust my good intentions?”

”Not only I wanted to walk freely on this land without everyone knowing who really I am.” Harrah change into being serious. ”I want to know who is loyal and not, to the king and the throne.” She added.

And that's enough for him to agree on. He can't refuse to this kind of requests as long as the true heir of the throne is here now in this world and the five guardians have awakened, nothing should fear anymore. The peace and stability of the land have finally come soon.

”That I cannot refuse my lady,” he bows in agreement. I will do my best to cover you up.

”Oh, thank you Iore!” Harrah jumps on him and tightly embrace him. Warmth surrounded him. It was too many compliments he received.

”My lady, I was overwhelmed.”
