Ryujiro stands up.
"Not some extraordinary feeling being a king.. I was expecting too much.. Huhhh"
Yuki comes running and hugs him.
"I'm so proud of you, Ryuku-kun.."
Ryujiro: "Are you my mother or something, girl?"
Yuki: "Shut up! I'm older than you"
Ryujuro: "Well, in that case Vasilisa should be my grandmother"
Vasilisa: "I'm just 25, jerk"
Ryujiro slowly pulls back from the hug and walks towards the main gate of the palace.
The palace gets surrounded by a large group of people because they heard that someone was challenging the king.
Ryujiro gets ready to fight. But the unexpected happens.
The people start cheering him.
Vasilisa: "What the hell is going on here.."
The mayor comes there and thanks Ryujiro.
He says something to him.
Ryujuro: "Lisa.. What is he saying?"
Vasilisa translates the conversation and tells Ryujiro that the mayor was thanking him to free the country.
King Tsar Alexander ।। was a corrupt and evil king.. He didn't want anything for the people and all for himself.
Ryujiro: "I see.. Well then, people. The Empire of Russia.. Is my territory now!!"
People start cheering him.
Yuki comes and stands besides Ryujiro.
"This is your new king!! Ryujiro Kurogane.
And I.. Am your quee-"
Ryujiro: "The fuck are you talking about.. Shut up. "
Yuki blushes and giggles.
Ryujiro: "We need some medical treatment.
Treat these two completely.
And for me, just stop the bleeding and make sure that there is no infection or something.. Don't make the wounds heal.. I want to keep them as a memory. "
Yuki: "Are you crazy, Ryuku kun?"
Ryujiro smiles.. "Hmm.. Maybe."
Two and a half days later.
November 22, 1875. 6:36 AM.
Ryujiro: "The Empire of Russia.. It's time for King Kurogane to depart. I have to travel the whole world.
These armed and naval forces under me will keep this country safe."
People get disappointed at Ryujiro's statement.. But they accept it eventually.
"Yuki.. You're healed because it was just a scar on the cheek. But Lisa.. Your nose and mouth were bleeding.. It'll take time.. So take a good rest. I guess that right hand man.. What was his name.. Icology or something like that. I guess he threw you two knowing that who's tougher.. He fought you more seriously than Yuki.. That's why your injuries are greater, Lisa."
Yuki with a mad face: "I'll kill you if you call her Lisa one more time.. A nickname huhhhh!!!??"
Ryujiro says in a sarcastic way: "Okay okay queen. What can i do for you to calm you down?"
Yuki blushes: "Queen....??"
Ryujiro puts a hand on his forehead: "Oh hell no.. That's not what i meant."
Yuki: "Uhmmm.. Well, you can kiss my cheek where the scar is.. I guess."
Ryujiro: "Know your limits."
Yuki suddenly gets sad.
Ryujiro kisses her cheek.
"Now fine?" He touches Yuki's cheek.
Yuki stands there with a straight face.
Ryujiro: "What happened? "
Vasilisa: "I guess she's unconscious."
Ryujiro: "Ahhh my fate.. I wanna cry."
8 AM.
"Well then. Depart!"
Ryujiro, Yuki and Vasilisa continue their journey on the ship.
Ryujiro: "Go inside and rest, Vasilisa.
And you, Yuki.... Yuki? "
Her face was all red and she was lying on the ship while blushing.
"He.. He kissed me.."
Vasilisa smiles.
"I guess she really likes you, Ryujiro."
Ryujiro: "I know.. But she's a sweet girl. If it was someone else, I would've ignored.
But yeah.. I kinda like her."
Vasilisa: "Shhh.. Don't let her hear this.. Otherwise no one can stop her death."
Ryujiro: "Can blushing cause death?"
Vasilisa: "Maybe no.. But she's a different breed."
Ryujiro: "Hmm. Our next destination is China."
Vasilisa: "We have to travel to the other side of the world... How are we gonna do that with a ship."
Ryujiro: "We'll see"
Vasilisa: "To reach China from here, we have to travel all the way back to the route where you came from.. Travelling through the near Japan."
Ryujiro: "Yeah."
Vasilisa: "I heard that four years ago through some treaty, Japanese were allowed in China, right? "
Ryujiro: "That was only for merchants and officials. And only in some limited areas"
Yuki gets up.
"What?? So how are we gonna enter there?
Luck was on our side when entering the Russian empire.. But thgt won't work everytime! So how?"
Ryujuro and Vasilisa smile and say together.
"Massacre"
Yuki: "Huhh.. Crazy bastards."
