00129. Conversation chaleureuse des hommes de Kayena (Warm talk of Kayena men)
“Eat.”
Two handsome men who would soon become brothers said simultaneously as their hands flanked the chopsticks, moving the two types of grilled meat into the same bowl. The owner of the bowl of white rice was so pure and fragrant that it fell silent in a few seconds, while looking at two handsome men who had just given him a piece of grilled fish and roasted forest chicken. In the next few seconds, he smiled and thanked me.
“Your Majesty the Emperor and Prince Kwang Min do not need to bother.”
The two handsome men looked compactly nodded, then threw their faces in the opposite direction. The action succeeded in inviting a smirk on Cesare's lips, as well as a small sigh of Khayansar.
Currently they are enjoying a meal together for the second time, minus the grandmother of Emperor Kwang Sun and the two Young Miss who are always with him. After having a mouth, the old woman could not join because she had to visit temple—one of her regular agenda on a certain date. Be they only eat with—Kayena, Kaezar, Khayansar, Cesare, Emperor Kwang Sun, as well as some officials close to the Emperor— in the pavilion near the lotus lake.
Under the darkness of the sky, they enjoyed the hearty warm rice along with the warm roasted meat enriched with a special taste, as well as the smell of burnt. Kayena ate quite a lot, because there were 4 men who were so attentive to the portion of the meal. Especially Cesare who has handled pregnant women. The man had a myriad of wobbles, both for Kayena and Kaezar.
Finished enjoying the dinner, they spent time talking, accompanied by a sakura tea that was special for Kayena, while the men were treated to rice wine rice—arak rice and alcoholic beverages produced from fermentation of rice starch which turned into sugar—best from Astoria. The taste of wine will change with the fermentation time. At the beginning of the fermentation process, rice wine will taste like fruits and slightly acidic like oranges (citrusy). The longer, the carbon dioxide levels in wine will decrease so that the taste will turn more soft and sweet. Also provided a light sweet snack in the mouth as a chatting friend.
“The appointment of Prince Kwang Min will be done the day after tomorrow,” said Emperor Kwang Sun, opening talks. “Later I will ask eunuch Kim to help you prepare.”
The Emperor's last sentence was clearly shown to Kaezar who was sitting next to Kayena.
“Thank you very much. Sorry if it is troublesome,” said Kaezar.
“No need to thank, because now you are part of the family.” The Emperor with all his emanating authority clearly retorted. His actions are always calm, purposeful, and in line. The fortitude and calmness he possessed was incomparable.
His strong nature, not easily fooled by opponents, became one of the advantages that are difficult to beat. In leading the empire, it was clear that he played a very good role as a leader. Wise, fair, broad-minded, and firm. If he finds fault, he will not tolerate it. Under his leadership, the Astoria Empire became better through the rise of various primary and secondary aspects.
“You'll be leaving soon after Prince Kwang Min's appointment?” the question did not get an answer immediately.
Cesare looks glanced at Khayansar— does not want to origin talk. Khayansar himself had decided that they should not stay in Astoria too long. Their purpose was clear; kayena's whereabouts. After meeting Kayena, they were able to leave immediately. However, the situation has been somewhat complicated since Emperor Kwang Sun's grandmother appointed Kaezar as his adopted grandson. There was no way they would just leave.
“There is no need to feel anxious, if indeed you must leave immediately after Kaezar is officially announced as Prince. Marriage is a sacred procession that should not be delayed,” said the Emperor, still with his composure. “Speed up the wedding is also good for Kayena and her baby.”
Kaezar understood the Emperor's intentions. Cesare, Khayansar, and Kayena. The Emperor always put his best first, especially to his loved ones.
“Wedding date has been determined,” replied Kaezar, representing. “We will be getting married soon, upon arrival in Edinburgh.”
“Good.” There was a sincere smile rising on the Emperor's lips, albeit very thin. “On the first marriage of Kayena and King Robelia, I was unable to attend due to state affairs. On this occasion, I will strive to attend the happy day of the two of you.”
The Emperor did not seem to mind speaking bluntly, as now there were only five of them left. While the others had stayed away—including eunuchs, servants, and soldiers of the Emperor who were ordered to guard some distance from the pavilion near the lotus lake.
“If I am unable to attend, I will definitely still send you wedding gifts.”
Kayena gave a small smile as she tightened her hand link with Kaezar under the table. “Your presence is a gift of infinite value.” He said as he stared at his first love in childhood warmly. “On our happy day, I want to see you present and mingle together as part of the family.”
“Difficult desire to resist, let alone come from you,” replied the Emperor before drinking the rice wine left in the glass. “I will try to come on your happy day.”
Kayena nodded while developing a smile. The only tangled thread between them had been settled through a sincerity. Another form of loving is sincerity, right? Some even say that love is the highest caste in love.
“When your baby is born, do not forget to send a letter to Astoria. As his only uncle, I will gladly welcome his birth.”
“Definitely,” says Kayena and Kaezar—together.
Cesare and Khayansar were secretly relieved and happy. There are those who must be sacrificed indeed; for the sake of making their little brother happy. One form of the sacrifice was the Emperor who gave their little brother to another man, and he had waited long enough to be with their younger brother.
“Either why, I feel that you guys will have a daughter.”
The Emperor's next words, managed to make Kayena, Kaezar, and the two Pexley brothers surprised.
“Male or female, your baby will definitely be very adorable,” added the Emperor with a smile that is growing. “If you guys have more than one baby, allow me to give one of them a name.”
Kayena and Kaezar looked at each other. Before Kaezar finally took the opportunity to talk. “Of course, His Majesty the Emperor. We won't mind if you want to give our baby the name.”
The emperor nodded with a satisfied feeling. The baby born by Kayena will get great affection from the Emperor, because Kayena is a woman who has her own place in her heart. Despite not having the chance to be together, at least the Emperor was relieved, because this time he released Kayena with the right man.
“Are you going to continue like this?” the question was raised by Khayansar, moments after Kaezar asked permission to take Kayena to his room. Pregnant women need rest, because the air is getting colder.
“Like this how does it mean, Brother?”
“Self. Shouldering the burden as an unaccompanied leader.”
“Kakak is also still single at an age that is not young anymore.” The Emperor chimed.
Like a gun eat sir, Khayansar who starts a chat looks attractive the corner of the lips. Creating a thin smile arch, when he is trapped by the topic of his own conversation.
“Because have found a partner as well as an antidote to wounds obtained from previous marriages. Are you also not willing to start trying?”
“For now there is no,” replied the Emperor, then. “However, the demand to pass on the descendants of the imperial family, will gradually make me take on an escort. Heredity must still be born, even without love in the process of making it. After all, a man like us only falls in love once, the rest is an attempt to pass on the offspring.”
Khayansar actually somewhat agrees and does not with the Emperor's words. However, the condition also applies to him.
“Then what about Brother? I heard that the woman has lost her husband this year.”
Khayansar fell silent— did not expect that Emperor Kwang Sun would bring the topic about women “itu” at their talks.
Emperor Kwang Sun who saw the gelagat looked to smile thinly. “We are indeed suitable to be brothers, because our romance stories are also almost similar, although not the same.”
There was a mocking tone tucked in the sentence. However, Khayansar did not take the sentence seriously, as it was based on facts.
“So, how? Not after a year of mourning, can women in London get married again?”
“Hm.”
“Good. That's a golden opportunity, Kak.” Emperor Kwang Sun casually gave a solution. It was as if they were no longer the two adult men who had the post of State leader as well as the territory leader, but rather only two men less fortunate in romance matters. “Is Brother worried for fear that the woman is still harboring feelings for another man?”
“I am more concerned with his nature which is more concerned with the happiness of others, than his own happiness.”
“Truely match with Brother,” response Emperor Kwang Sun. “Kakak also always attach importance to the happiness of others, to the point of forgetting his own happiness.”
Knowing that Khayansar would not answer, Emperor Kwang Sun would fill their empty glasses.
“Let's make peace with the past, brother. We've been through some tough times. Now all we need is determination to achieve happiness with the right person.”
Khayansar received a helping hand from Emperor Kwang Sun who again gave him a drink. “Hm. I've thought about it too.”
“So, therefore Brother also reminds me to immediately find a companion?”
“You've been alone long enough. It is also time for this empire to have a consort.”
“Alright,” agree Emperor Kwang Sun. “I will also consider the solution for empress position.”
The two beautiful men then both fell silent while enjoying their respective drinks. Destiny does sometimes like to be funny, because loyal men do not need to be doubted like them, it must be wasted. The presence of Cesare in the middle of them—after the man went to the restroom— made them both aware; only Cesare was so lucky in terms of romance. Although not surfing the straight streets, the romance of Cesare is quite good. In addition to being the first person to marry at a young age with the woman he loved, Cesare also became the first person to have children between them.
Cesare is the most fun with women. Cesare even claimed to have never been in love until a fairly adult age, more precisely when he met his wife in a free match between fellow Knights. Who would have thought, the youngest former Warlord from Robelia fell in love with a Sword Master with a real identity as Princess Hygria. Without further ado, when he realized he had found the woman he wanted to be a companion to life, Cesare willingly gave up everything for the sake of the idol.
“Cesare and Kayena are one unity when fighting for love.”
Khayansar remembers very well when her father—Khie de Pexley said so. Given Kayena and Cesare it is indeed almost similar in terms of nature; only the gender version is different.
