Chapter 6 - ᴹᴱˁˁᴬᴳᴱ (⁵): ᵀᵁ ᴮᴬᴼ, ᴷᴺᴵᴳᴴᵀ ᴼᶠ ᴹᴵᴿᴬᶜᴸᴱˁ

****In the middle of the central market of the Heavenly Kingdom of Tu****

The vendors and itinerants leave their work to watch what the prince of the kingdom is doing, who is sitting at a wooden table, while he greedily devours pieces of mango, looking at the sign of his first headquarters... commanding at the same moment the sign sculptor:

 Yes, yes, the letters are not placed straight, but rather zigzag. This is what innovation means.

Sculptor ** But Mr. Lee asked me...

The assistant scolds him so as not to put him in a worse situation: He said, "Put it crooked, put it like that and you are silent."

The prince read the sign with complete satisfaction: Prince Tu Bao Martial Arts Residence - Knight of the Land of Miracles

- A cart full of wooden tables and chairs stopped, then the prince landed on the ground, examining: What is all this?

The assistant answers confidently: I have ordered the most skilled carpenters to design the best equipment for your students

The prince sighs tiredly: Take it from here. I will open a headquarters for the arts, not for painting

The driver intervenes demanding: The carpenter asked me to receive his wages along with the transportation fee

The assistant's face was astonished at the impudence of this servant.

**Don't you know who this is? How you discusse us about cheap parts **

Prince Bao patted the driver on the shoulder: He is the one who will pay because he has the idea

Assistant (Lee): But but... Ah, I command you, my prince :(((

The young prince clasps his slender fingers behind his back as he wanders into the store, enjoying his realized ambition.

Ahhhhh, finally I have my own job, away from the headache of official meetings and complaints from slaves

- There was a verbal altercation between the assistant (Lee) and intrusive visitors, which prompted him to go out and survey what was coming -

Assistant Li ** Yes, Prince Bao, he will personally supervise their training

The two young men excitedly chatted between each other until Bao burst into the scene -

Is there any service?

They both knelt on the ground in fear of him until he ordered them to stand.

Young Man 1: My name is Kong, and this is my brother Fong. We can't wait to train under you and master martial arts

The prince whispered: Oh, you will not learn ordinary martial arts, but rather the arts of the land of miracles, which you will not find from any teacher.

Young Man 2: But my assistant told us that you will train the children of nobles only

Prince Bao grimaced at Assistant Li, then turned to them with a smile: Haha, I welcome members of the public and privates, there is no difference, and since you are the first to enter my place, I declare you as my official trainees.

They bowed at the same moment with one sentence: Grateful for your kindness, our Lord, Prince tu))))

Prince Gao dismounts from his horse with four guards:

Now I understand why you are so active, Prince. The Kingdom of Tu has a nature that makes the eye sweet and the mood lively

He bowed his head so that the other person would greet him kindly:

Prince Jagi, you have honored the heavenly kingdom

The guest stared at the sign: Martial arts? From the land of miracles?

Then the art teacher quickly pushed the boys away from his class:

Well, you'll be back tomorrow for the grand opening, remember. come on, let's go

Prince Zhao Gui walks into the store, Prince Bao follows him, and excuses himself...

I was going to visit you, to personally deliver the invitation to open the store, take it and remember to bring Assistant Jian Hao with you

The handsome prince receives it, and smiles a sweet smile, attracting the attention of visitors to the area.

Bao: Since this is your first visit, I must take you to the most beautiful places in the kingdom, starting with...

The prince interrupted him regretfully: In fact, I did not come for tourism, but to attend the meeting of the three clans. Although I was not successful in doing so, receiving this invitation made my visit valuable.

Prince Tu tightens the edge of the window and makes sure it is strong, then closes it in the face of eavesdroppers, commenting on the reason for the visit of the celestial mission companion:

It must be a new plan behind the Shi clan's back. They always agree to set him up, and as usual, the ending doesn't do them justice.

**** In the midst of the splendor of the Tu Clan King's Pavilion, with a charming view of a transparent lake, depicting the colorful sea creatures inside, the three leaders (Tu-Zhao-Yan) sip green tea, worrying about a very important topic---

Commander Gao hurriedly put down his cup: They are clearly hiding something. Their words contradicted what Assistant Jian Hao had said when he arrived.

Leader Yan: True, true. He almost died under torture, but he kept telling stories of their deaths, and then what? They surprise us by returning, denying everything he said.

Leader Gao: Didn't you also notice the facial features of the son of the Shi clan? He never dared to say a word to his father, but this time he did not say anything that would make his father happy, but rather remained silent until they left.

Leader Yan: Leader Tu, should we invite the sage to confirm the authenticity of Heaven's message? Or perhaps he could knock on the gates of heaven and inquire about what happened during their journey?

Leader Tu: What query are you talking about? What you say goes beyond the unseen of heaven. Also, we cannot summon the Wise whenever we want, as long as we do not receive any response from the Wise. This means that we must be patient, until we discover the reason for these young men's insistence on secrecy. What are they afraid of? What did they live on that strange land?

***Ruling Hall...the Kingdom of (Xi)**

The princes of the Shi clan leave the discussion hall for the first time, enjoying what happened and will happen to their third brother, which prompted Prince Shi Hua to automatically go to the person closest to him in the palace, to a heart that will embrace his weakness and brokenness, and support his fateful decision. Here he is at the pavilion of the only queen, who exhorts With constant sounds of screaming and smashing, heavy through the door of her room, despite the chaos and cursing that prevailed in the place, where five guards tied up a woman, whose body had been severely beaten and smashed, her malicious enemy was wailing...

The son bowed his head to the lady of the kingdom, then glanced at the woman who was begging him for help: Your mother, your mother is a murderer. You killed my child before he was born. You killed your brother, Prince Shi Hua. Your mother has no heart. She is a murderer.

The lady sighs bored at what is being said about her: I allowed you to say more than you deserve. Should I order the cutting of your womb?

The prince exhaled in exhaustion from repeating the scene of humiliation that his mother endured every time for the palace concubines, so he ordered the guards: Take her out.

The concubine was dragged out with a torrent of insults and accusations: Leave me, leave me, you murderer, you heartless woman, you hateful old woman, you are planning with all your filth to retain the title of queen, but the eye of God is witness to the extent of your evil.

Her last sentence had little effect on his ears, as his ears were accustomed to such loud music. Finally, his furrowed eyebrows straightened as calm returned to the ward.

The mother complains before looking at the face of her son who has returned years after a dangerous mission:

 Do you see the style of concubines with their queen? Because I am nice to them, I maked them go over me . Why you stand, sit down 

Withdrawing would be better. That what was going on inside him. He answered her with signs of dissatisfaction:

 I just came to say hello

She smiled excitedly: You didn't go to that malicious wing before me, did you?

She kept waiting for any response from his rigid features, then she smiled and concluded: Yes, yes, focus on your military duties. The position of caliph should be yours. Don't let anyone take your place in the heart of the king. What strength and immunity I have now because of you... and what loss you suffer. You mean my death... Do you understand what I'm saying?

He remained where he was for a few moments, waiting to hear something that would remove even a little of the heaviness from his heart, when she surprised him with the harsh response:

Shi Hua, I don't want to see those features on your face again

_As the queen of the most powerful clans, she must have learned about what happen to her only son, but her royal blood overcame the maternal desires within her to comfort him.

You are Shi Hua, the commander of the armies of the most powerful kingdom on the land of Shizuo. No matter what your responsibilities are, you must not allow weakness to occupy your face, in front of anyone, even if it is me....

** He left her wing and took on more responsibilities. He kept walking and walking outside the palace, amidst the whispers of the courtiers that replaced flirtation with his enlightened face... his solid build... his features sweeter than the face of a charming Roman god... it turned into a discussion about his First failure, What punishment will the kingdom's lion impose on his favorite cub?... Many opinions and many laughter around him forced him to stop at the courtyard fountain lost in its waters, and the picture of Prince Tu Bao and Princess Yan and Shi appeared laughing...
