Chapter 11: Chapter 11: The King's Move
In the middle of the ancient palace, a man with long, dark black hair sat on his magnificent throne, placing his hand on his cheek in contemplation, then in a calm but powerful voice, he said, "It's time."
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the palace shook, and a terrifying dark aura emerged from him, creeping through the walls as if searching for a specific target. This man was Taiga, the king of the Hokkaido region, and the son of the former king Kenji.
Miles away, as Sebastian was walking along one of the mountain paths, he sensed that aura, and suddenly stopped, closing his eyes for a moment, before whispering, "If... you finally move, Taiga."
Taiga's move was not an ordinary one, as he was one of five kings who controlled the great regions of the country: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, and Kinki.
His father, Kenji, was a man to be reckoned with, known for his sharp wit and deceit in wars, where no one could predict his next move. Although Taiga inherited his father's power, he hated him for one reason: deceit and deception.
He didn't believe in the devious methods his father used to achieve power, but at the same time, he didn't oppose him much when he was his deputy. Perhaps out of respect for his position, or perhaps because he didn't find the strength to stand up to him at the time.
But now, after inheriting the throne, he was following his own path. And the first step in his plan… was to move towards the power he had recently sensed, the power that didn't belong to any ordinary person, but to a man he knew well: Sebastian.
"Is this what you were waiting for?" Taiga muttered to himself, rising from his throne, while his servants bowed silently, awaiting his orders.
One of his loyal commanders was watching him silently, knowing that this move might be the beginning of something much bigger than anyone could imagine.
One early morning, Sakura was eating breakfast with her son Roy like every day, and at one point Roy told her that he met someone named Sebastian who was very strong. Sakura was surprised by his words and said, "How did you meet him? When and how?" Roy was shocked by the many questions and said, "He suddenly appeared and told me that I am still weak and have a long way to go to become strong." Sakura bit her lip and said, "Don't get close to him again, and if you see him, just stay away from him. Do you hear me?" Roy said in a low voice, "Okay, mom." Sakura smiled and said, "Good boy." Then she said, "Today I have very important work to do. Will you guard the house for me?" Roy was surprised and said, "What kind of mission is this?" Sakura said, "A mission with an old friend, but promise me that you won't leave the house. Even with your strength, you are still inexperienced and ignorant. Do you hear me?" Roy said okay I promise
