Chapter 151 - From princess to pirate part 2

Along the way, we encountered a prince. The prince had escaped from Persia.

Tenchi: escaped?

Yona: well there was a war between Persia or how it was originally called Pars and Xing. Well, the war was going on for many years.

The Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a city of splendor and wonder, ruled by the undefeated and fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan was the young and curious prince of Pars who, despite his best efforts didn't seem to have what it takes to be a proper king like his father.

Tenchi: sounds like a certain princess I know

Yona: Huh? Lili seemed like she is a good princess. she was even helping the people suffering from drugs

"..."

At the age of 14, Arslan went to his first battle and loses everything as the blood-soaked mist of war gives way to scorching flames, bringing him to face the demise of his once glorious kingdom. The king was captured and prince fled

Tenchi: when did this happen?

Yona: this happened about three years ago

After escaping the horrors of the battlefield, the prince took refuge with his bodyguard in a mountain retreat belonging to the former lord and genius strategist,

Tenchi: he sounds like you

Are you a strategist?

"...*sigh*

he enlisted his assistance in his mission to reclaim his lost kingdom. Meanwhile, the royal capital of Ecbatana is under siege by the Xing and the queen finds herself captured by the mysterious masked figure behind the fall of Pars.

Tenchi: (hmm strange I heard the king of Xing only had daughters..wait could it be him...my master's apprentice...)

The prince and his party have escaped Xing's forces, Xing stopped at nothing to capture the prince. To draw out Arslan, Xing used an underhanded plan to massacre innocent villagers until the prince makes his appearance, but Arslan did not stand idly by while the lives of his people are at stake, so he goes out to take on Xing and his army of over one thousand soldiers.

Then that is when the monsters started rampaging...

Monsters would attack people and people would turn into daemons.

Daemons was a big threat and then exorcist was needed,.The thing was Exorcist was based on Xing...but their religion wasn't something that many followed...they weren't able to fully utilized their ways...that is when the Shepard met up with the prince Arslan...

The prince found that he was undermatch for the monsters and army regrettable promised the Shepard free reign to practice their religion in Pars...and agreeing to some other outrageous agreements that he was too naive to realize at the time...

Tenchi: why didn't he have an aid help him with the terms

Yona: It seems that the shepherd has a silver tongue and he had signed the papers agreeing before he knew it...

Tenchi: I can't stand silver tongue people

Yona: (aren't you like that?)

Tenchi: also...why are you telling me his backstory?

Yona: it's important for the readers

"...?"

Yona: just kidding. It will make sense.

After that was done. the Shepard left to gather his forces saying they are a great pilgrimage and exorcise the daemon threat... so they left going around the three kingdoms...This was also a way of moving his forces around without notices. also due to the church's influence, the Xing Kingdom couldn't touch them...however they didn't know that the church influence was growing and growing...

Tenchi: so what led to the prince seeking out the church...

Yona: oh yeah...apparently a priestess named Farangis shes not...that attractive...small chest

Tenchi: I beg to differ...very curvaceous

Tenchi says looking at her image

*cough...well it was her and wandering minstrel Give has joined Prince Arslan in his quest to reclaim his kingdom. But these new additions were far from enough to stand up against the vast army of Lusitania and the nefarious scheming of the Man in the Silver Mask.

Tenchi: I see...

Yona:...oh yeah the proprietress said she had received a vision from a goddess to join up with the true king...I guess the same as us

Tenchi: true king huh...

Tenchi went into deep thought...Yona noticed that he was trying to figure out something

Yona: Ry-ryouta?

Tenchi: oh nothing to worry about now continue

she nodded and continued

------

In the midst of war, the rumblings of King Andragoras' (king of pars) dark past have resurfaced, bringing even Arslan's right to the throne in question. The prince and his friends have counted on loyalty to Pars, but with doubt over the rightful succession, does that loyalty still include Arslan?

Tenchi: so I'm guessing that

Yona: yeah it was said that Hilmes was the son of the previous King the current kings, brother

Tenchi: (Seriously is this you...I feel someone just copied your stories... let's not say any of that through): ok just tell me what happens...I have other things I have to do

Yona: (does the dream end soon)

Yona thought not knowing that dream time you can live a lifetime and only a few minutes passed outside

Well, the prince acquired a large army and marched on Pars. this was a few months ago. When the march happened many people died but in the end, Xing forces here repelled and forced back...

after the forces of the church joined in the war...

The Church's addition leading to victory changed the tides...They set up camp in the kingdom of Xing. The king had been rescued but he was a shadow of his former glory...and he was made a follower of the religion...

It is unknown the details but monsters came to be after the war and the Shepard and his exorcist freed them...he also begin peace talks with Xing...the war that had lasted for many years...

The prince had noticed something was strange...he got nothing for his work...only disdain...the knowledge of the prince may not be his son hit his ears so he felt nothing from his son and wanted to get rid of him...so he used the church plan to make his eagle as a therion

Saying it was to end all evil in the world

however, the prince knew everything wasn't as what it seemed

Tenchi: I got the gist of it. The prince left along with some of his loyal followers in secret. There you met him and smuggled them...

she nods

Tenchi: what about the queen

Yona: well I hear that she wasn't touched yet. Due to her beauty, the king of Xing wants her to be happy and come to him willingly. I hear when news that the King hasn't asked for her back her mentality seemed shaken...

Tenchi: I see ( I don't really care...but I wonder how his daughters see this...): Ok now what about your lady in waiting...

Yona: well I haven't heard much but I hear she is in the military there...she is in a strange situation...

Tenchi: (no kidding she is the illegitimate child of the king.)

Yona: I mean with the church it is tough for the military

Tenchi: (Yona...I think it's a good thing you didn't become the queen...well that puts everything into what order...now I understand the basic)

Soo-won was a person who was jealous of me made a deal with Dio for power. the price was his body and soul. Soo-won had just acquired the power of the werewolf or not werewolf but Lycan

which is similar to the nobless. Dio got to him before he knew it. For Soo-won he thought it was a devil or something so he gave up without much fight...

Dio talked with the church and convince the silver mask to aid him in the rebellion in response the church will aid him to reclaim the thrown and aid in the taking over control from arslan...all they needed was to put into rumors that Arslan wasn't his true son...(even though he is) but it wouldn't matter if it was true or not doubt is a strong thing...The king being a warmonger...would spend months on wars...it wouldn't be surprising his wife cheating on him...

As for how Dio has input on the church...it simple...the churches 'god'...is his half brother...

A being whose powers are to take away emotion...and leaving only 'Repose'

The church is creating the versions to power his brother. 7 in total all possession the sins of man, L.u.s.t, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Pride, and gluttony. rumor is once they control all 7 sins they would gain control over all of life...

Tenchi: (strange there are nine sins...why do they always forget about Despair and Desire...there are always nine. Number 9 is a symbol of wisdom and initiation. It is the last number before the next harmony. Desire is the strongest and most powerful sin...huh where did that come from)

Well now I know what is going on...well sort of

---------------------------

Tenchi then looks at Yona who is staring at him... and he licks his lips...

side: yona vs Arslan

Tenchi: yona I'm surprised you all met and became friends fast

yona: oh it wasn't fast

then an image of bodyguard vs bodyguard statigist vs statigist yona vs Arslan. each was fighting in each other weapon of specialty

Tenchi was shocked at what he was seeing

they were looking like they would kill each other

Tenchi: what stopped it

Yona: oh it was Lili she used water bending and splashed us with water...speaking of that..why don't you teach me water bending

Tenchi: I didn't teach her... I showed it a few moves and she was able to use it. maybe she was made to use it...it was like she was one with water

Yona: well she is from the water tribe

tenchi:...yeah that must be it...(or she could be....)
