Chapter 6
"W-wha.. What's that?" Princess Riisa cried.
Satoshi got shocked too. His mind whirled. Wasn't it a bomb? Inside the flower bouquet Lieutenant Matsumoto gave me? Then was that meant Lieutenant Matsumoto...
Then from behind a corner, Lieutenant Matsumoto run came in view. He was out of breath and look panicked. Upon saw Satoshi and Princess Riisa, who both laid on the floor but alive, his face relaxed.
"Jun!" Princess Riisa cried.
"You're so lucky," Lieutenant Matsumoto smiled a little.
"Jun, what do you mean?! What's going on? Kyaaa..."
But the Lieutenant grabbed her hard. "Calm down, Princess Riisa. I'll take you to where the Queen. The General will explain it, I guess..."
Satoshi saw enough and was beyond panicked. His mind already combined all the fact. Scared, he stood up quicky and run as fast as he could.
"Wait! Come back here!" Lieutenant Matsumoto shouted at him but Satoshi ignored it.
Satoshi thought back at what he saw at the Queen’s room, about the plan to make the King fall. So Lieutenant Matsumoto was with the General Ogura. Then what now, seems the plans changed somehow? One that Satoshi was sure of, he’ll be killed. And so Aiba-chan. Satoshi realized he had to saved his friend and kept running.
Suddenly the Palace full of soldiers run along, like in search of something or someone. Satoshi quickly hide behind a thick curtain and heard some part of their conversation.
"Prince Sho and Prince Hiroshi are nowhere to be found."
"Hurry, search for them! If you even try to protect them, you may be killed!"
Wh-what? What did it mean?
"Kyaaa..." A maid walked passed the soldiers’ way, knocked by them and fell.
"Get out of the way!" one of the soldier shouted and run away.
The maid sobbed. Her friend came over her tried to calmed her down. "Sst, be silent. If we don't fight we won't be killed."
"But I'm scared. Seems like at the moment it was coup d'etat!”
WHAT?! So it meant the General want to rule the Kingdom himself! He just used the Queen in his scheme! The Army was with the General, so was it also meant... Red was also the same! Satoshi couldn't believe it. After all the man was so nice and kind to him. Red even saved Satoshi for almost killed by car before. Was it just to deceive him? To gain his trust?
The sound of the soldiers searched for him got closer, Satoshi tried to run away, but where to? In his panicked state, he couldn't think clearly. Suddenly he was grabbed by someone and thrown into a room.
*
Red quickly closed his room's door. He calmly turned around and faced a group of soldiers passed by. "I saw the Japanese man run that way," he said pointed to the corridor at his left. "Quick, get him! I'll look after Prince Sho."
When the soldiers quickly obey him and away, Red came into his room again. "Everything's alright, now it's safe-"
Inside his room, Red saw Satoshi stuck between the sofa and the table. Did he threw the poor man too hard? Red thought. He quickly came to Satoshi and helped the small man up. Satoshi seemed okay, and just shocked. When their eyes met, Red smiled to him. But upon saw Red, Satoshi started to throw anything at his reach.
"You traitor! Coward! Cold-heart! Stupid!" said Satoshi while throwing cushions, notes, few papers, stationary, even an empty botle of mineral water. "You acted as a nice person, but actually you want to do treason, don't you?! You plotted with the General and plan to kill us all!"
"Ouch, stop it-" Red said in between tried to dodge any of Satoshi’s attack. "You're wrong! Listen to me- OUCH!"
A thick book landed ontop of Red’s head. It hurt like hell. But Satoshi’s attack seemed calmed down. Red dared to reach his hand toward Satoshi. But Satoshi quickly retort, "Don't touch me or I'll bite!"
Then Satoshi kept showing his teeth like an angry wild animal. Red felt defeated.
"Ok, whatever. But rest a sure, you're safe here because it's my room. Calm down, ok?" Red came out from the room. When he was already outside, Satoshi heard the door locked. Satoshi left alone at the room. He stayed silent for a while before saw around the room.
"Great, the exit way isn't just the door, right?" Satoshi said when he spotted the door window to the room’s balcony. He remembered his act few nights ago, and quickly formed his own escaped plan. He tore the window’s curtain and tried to tore it again devided it into few parts. He then tied the parts together to form a quite long emergency rope.
While he did this, Satoshi saw a piece of paper on top of Red’s desk. Out of curious, he read it. A letter?
Dear my brother Sho-chan. I agree with your plan. Let's meet again at the new Imperial Palace.
-Kazu-
A plan? New Imperial Palace? The King's letter for Sho... But why this letter was in Red's room? Eh, the date was the day before. Wasn't it the day when the King disappeared? What was that meant?
Ah whatever, Satoshi gave up he never thought too much, though. When the emergency rope finished, Satoshi tied it at the rail of the balcony, then started to climbed down. “Finally I got some act!”
But when he was already at the middle part, the emergency rope-made-of-parts-of-tored-curtain started to tear apart.
“HEH?! OMG!”
Ouch! Lucky I fall onto... grass? "Hiee?!" Satoshi panicked. He actually fell onto Rogreen's body. What he thought grass was actually Rogreen's fur. "Rogreen, why are you here? Where's Aiba-chan?"
Rogreen seemed confused for abit but his eyes said somehow like: ‘how could said something like that after already fell onto my body’. Rogreen then made movements to answer Satoshi’s questions.
"Ha? Just come back from morning walk? Don't know what happen?" Satoshi deciphered the movements in such accuration. Rogreen actually thought it was really great for his movement to even understood well. "Argh, it's an emergency you know? Aiba-chan is in danger. Come quick, Rogreen! Eits!"
They almost walked into a bunch of soldiers. Satoshi quickly hide behind Rogreen’s body. Somehow even though Rogreen’s body wasn’t that big nor Satoshi’s body was smaller, but the Soldiers wasn’t see him. Lucky!
After that Satoshi and Rogreen run toward Aiba’s room. Satoshi quickly open the door, but saw no one inside. “Aiba-chan isn't here. They must have got him somewhere. Let's search for him!"
But they came again into a bunch of other soldiers. Satoshi quickly hide behind Rogreen’s body again. Along the way seemed Rogreen started to enjoy their ‘hide-and-seek’ like play and decided to play along. So each time Satoshi tried to hide behind his body, Rogreen made some poses like handstand or The Liberty Statue pose. That made Satoshi too adjusted to the poses.
"Darn, don't fooling around!"
*
Meanwhile at the moment Prince Hiroshi just did one of his hobbies, created his own action-figure robot from anything around him he could found. This time, he tried to create a Robot Rogreen from one of his old picnic lunch box. Just luckily he did thsi under a table with a long table-cloth so he was well hiden. Well, he knew his mother didn’t really fond of his hobbies. "Ugh, the spare parts aren't enough. Eh, since when I'm here?”
Prince Hiroshi then tried to wandered around and saw a strange looking box full of wires attached up high at a pilar. “Ah, that can work."
When the Prince climbed the said pilar and stayed up high to the pilar tried to removed the strange box, another bunch of soldiers run around below him.
"Where Prince Sho and Prince Hiroshi may hide? We've searched everywhere!"
"May be under that table?" one of the Soldiers peeked inside the table-cloth. "Mm, I don't see anything. Just some weird stuff."
"If we can't find them, the General will be very angry to us!"
And so they left. Not long after that, Prince Hiroshi already succeed removed the strange box and came back hiding under the table-cloth.
*
Satoshi kept running with Rogreen, searched for Aiba. Each time they met soldiers, Satoshi will hide behind Rogreen’s body. But with Rogreen kept fooling around.
"Hosh, hosh, I'm tired of all that weird poses," said Satoshi out of breath. They already arrived at a room where two armed soldiers guard the door. "Aiba-chan must be inside that room. We have to do something. Rogreen, try to distract them."
Rogreen paled by heard this. He then tried to made movement to show that he: ‘had headache, stomach-ache, and was still confused at the moment’. Satoshi narrowed his eyes, and then pushed Rogreen in front of the guards. The pity dog fall then sat infront of the guard nervously, then suddenly Rogreen started to do some magic show: pulled pigeons from inside a hat, throwed flowers out of nowhere. Satoshi couldn’t help thought where could the dog even prepared the magic equipments. But still Satoshi quite amazed Rogreen could performed such magic tricks. Quite interesting.
When the soldiers distracted enough, Satoshi hit their heads hard with a vase he found nearby. "Good job, Rogreen!" Satoshi praised Rogreen after the two guards lost concious.
"Aiba-chan, I'm gonna save you!" Satoshi opened the door quickly. He saw inside the room were Aiba-chan, the Mother Queen, and Princess Riisa.
But Aiba cried, "Satoshi, NO!"
Satoshi then heard a click sound of a gun being armed right behind his head.
"Thank you, for your cooperation." Said Lieutenant Matsumoto pointed the gun at behind Satoshi’s head. Satoshi raised his hands in surrender.
