Tomio then stood up and started walking. He was smiling. 'The Seven Kings? It's been a long time since I met those kids. I hope they are doing fine. I can't wait to meet them.'
Chapter 8: Ryo's Birthday.
Tomio came back to the training. When he opened the door he saw no one was inside the room other than Tatsuo's personal maid, Kyoko.Kyoko then looked at Tomio. She then bowed."Tomio-sama. You are back.""Where are Tatsuo-sama and Asami-sama."Kyoko then raised her head. She then adverted her eyes away from Tomio."...""Is something wrong? Did anything happen?"Kyoko then again looked at Tomio."Actually. Ryo-sama and Moriko-sama came. And they....""What did they do?""They beated Tatsuo-sama and Asami-chan to an extent where he needed to go to the doctor."Hearing this, Tomio got angry. His vein started to show up because of rage."What did you say.....""..."Kyoko didn't answered.Tomio's aura then started to be visible. Even Kyoko who doesn't have that much magic can feel it. Because of the insane amount of aura, Kyoko started to sweat."To.. Tomio-sama. Please calm down.""Oh. Sorry..."Tomio then calmed his heart down. 'I must not lose my mind. If I do, I don't know what will happen.'Tomio then spaced out. Kyoko then tapped Tomio on his shoulder.Tomio then came back to his senses. He then looked behind and saw Kyoko bending while her hands are behind her back."Are you okay, Tomio-sama?"Tomio then suddenly blushed."Ye...Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to check on Tatsuo. So, excuse me.""Okay."Tomio then walks away then meets up with Tatsuo and Asami.They then chatted.----A few days later.Tatsuo was discharged. He was walking through the castle. He then noticed something.The whole castle was preparing for something. Everyone was busy. Tatsuo then saw a couple of maids chatting in the distance. He then walked up to them.When Tatsuo walked up to them the maids noticed and bowed down."Oh my, Tatsuo-sama, good day.""Good day. Please raise your head."All the maids then raised their heads.Tatsuo then looked around."Is something wrong Tatsuo-sama?" asked one of the maids."Is some kind of event gonna happen in a few days? Everyone seems to be busy.""Oh you don't know? Ryo-sama's 9th birthday is coming up in a few days. So everyone is preparing for that.""Ryo-nii's?""Yes.""I see. Anyway, thanks.""You are most welcome Tatsuo-sama."Tatsuo then walked away and the maids continued their chatting.While walking, Tatsuo was rubbing his chin.'Looks like Ryo-nii's birthday is coming up. I should get ready too.'Tatsuo then speed up and started to run to his room.He then opened his room's door and went towards closet and opened it.The closet was full of clothes like shirts, pants, coats and all...Tatsuo then started to look for a dress that will suit him.Suddenly the door of Tatsuo's room opened. He looked behind and saw his personal maid Kyoko standing on the entrance."May I come in, Tatsuo-sama?""Kyoko-nee! Come in!"Kyoko then entered the room and stood beside Tatsuo."Hey, Kyoko-nee, which dress suits me the best?"Tatsuo then turned behind with 3 suits. One was black, another was deep blue and the other one was white dress."Hmmm. May I check?""Go ahead."Kyoko then grabbed all the 3 suits. She then first brought out the black suit and put it in front of Tatsuo's body. "Hmm..." -Kyoko.Kyoko then changed and put the deep blue suit in front of Tatsuo.Then she again changed and put the white suit in front of Tatsuo.Kyoko then took the three clothes and put 2 of them back in the closet."White suits you the best, Tatsuo-sama.""Really? Thanks!"Kyoko then bowed down."May I help you change Tatsuo-sama?"Tatsuo then blushed."N..No! Its embarrassing for me to change in front of a lady. Please stand outside the room and I will call you when I'm done.""As you wish."Kyoko then went outside the room.After a few minutes. Sam had called Kyoko from inside the room."You can come in now!"Kyoko then opened the door and saw Tatsuo standing in full white dress. A red flower on the pocket of the suit. A black tie and a black T-shirt inside the suit."My. You look Wonderful, Tatsuo-sama.""Really? Thanks!"Tatsuo then looked at the mirror and saw himself."Alright! I'm gonna wear this at the party!"Suddenly a known voice was heard from the entrance.Tatsuo and Kyoko then turned around and saw Asami standing with her hands holding each other."Oh my god! Takkun, you look so good!""Hehe. Really? Thanks a bunch!"Asami then ran towards Tatsuo. Her eyes was sparkling."You really are handsome!""Hehe."Tatsuo was blushing. Kyoko standing beside them was spectating the scene. She then put her hands on her mouth."Oh my."Asami then grabbed Tatsuo's hands."Hey we will be late for training! Let's go!""Wait let me change my dress first.""Ok."Asami then backed off. But Tatsuo wasn't changing."Hey what's wrong?""I... I mean. You are in here so its a bit embarassed...."Asami then blushed as she saw red marks on Tatsuo's cheeks."O-ok."Asami and Kyoko then went outside the room.Tatsuo then changed and a few minutes later he went outside the room.Asami then grabbed Tatsuo's hand and charged off."Lets go!" said Asami.Tatsuo then nodded.-----August 17th. Fire works were launched across the town. The town was in full festive. Laughter and joy was everywhere as it was Ryo's birthday. Inside the castle. The hall room was decorated brightly. The huge chandelier which was never used other than special occasion was shining brightly. People were dressed in many fancy dresses. Everyone was holding a glass of red wine. Some were talking to each other."His Majesty did a really great job decorating this hall room.""You are right."Suddenly, many guys wearing red uniform and holding a trumpet each came in from the huge entrance door. They then started to play their trumpet in a beautiful tune.A person then shouted."His Majesty is coming now!"Everyone started to whisper.Then the king Nishimoto Yoshiaki came walking.Everyone then kneeled down.Then again the guy shouted after the king went inside."First Prince, Nishimoto Ryo along with First Princess Nishimoto Moriko and Second Prince Nishimoto Tatsuo is coming now!"Then the birthday boy Ryo came inside along with Tatsuo and Moriko.Moriko then bit her tongue."Tsk. Why is he with us?""..."Ryo didn't answer.Ryo was sweating. Thinking of that incident."What happened at that time? Was it just my imagination?"Yoshiaki then sat on the middle throne while the princes and the princess sat a little behind the middle throne.Everyone was looking at the royal family.Yoshiaki then pulled up his hand."Everyone! Thank you for coming to my first son's birthday. Today marks the 8th birthday of Ryo's, which means he will be going to the magic academy from tomorrow. So now, enjoy the party at the fullest."Everyone then raised their glasses."Cheers."Many people came to Ryo congratulating him for his birthday. Ryo kept on giving a smile. Some gave him wrapped gifts, some gave him flowers. Some came to the king with their daughter to introduce them to Ryo.After receiving all the gifts and congratulations. Ryo then bit his tongue."Tsk. Who does they think of them? Bringing their ugly daughters to me so that I can marry one of them. Bringing cheap gifts.""I know right." - Moriko."My my, Ryo-nii. Calm down.""Shut up failure.""..."-----After a while. The door then opened. Suddenly Tomio came inside.'I was thinking where Tomio-nii was. I guess he was busy.'Tomio then entered the room. Behind him was 7 human figures. 5 of them were males and 2 females.Everyone started to whisper."Aren't they are the 7 kings? This is the first time they came here.""You are right. Whats happening?"Tomio and the 7 kings then kneeled."Happy birthday Ryo-sama. I hope you are enjoying this small party.""Hmm."Tomio then looked at Yoshiaki."I have brought the 7 kings with me. Hope you are not angry for me escorting them.""Of course no." - Yoshiaki.Suddenly a sweet girl's voice was heard behind Tomio.The girl was pretty young. She was about 5 ft 6 inches tall. She had a pretty face."Your Majesty. I was hoping to meet you. Happy birthday Ryo-sama.""Thanks.."
