Huli walked through the corridors of the palace, stopping in front of a window and looking out. the night was beautiful, you could clearly see the stars and full moon. Would she also be looking at the stars at this moment?
"Brother where are your thoughts? Are you on your way to the gate again? It's only been four days that the queen has left. I think she will be back in two days "
Huli looked annoyed at Hu and walked on
"if I were you I would be worried about the elders. As you know, you are the next in line who is old enough to get married! "
Hu winced
"please brother don't talk about that! Everyone knows that it will be a princess of the Snake tribe. But luck is with me! The third princess of the Snake tribe will only reach the age of getting married middle of next year! "
Together they walked to the northern garden of the palace. The northern garden was the garden where the foxes of the royal family resided. The garden was the largest of them all. In the garden was everything the foxes needed.
Huli walked over to his fox and stroked her fur. His fox lay down so that Huli could easily climb on her. When the fox stood up, Huli looked at Hu with raised eyebrow.
"Why are you sitting on your fox too? "
"Why are you so cold brother? May I not accompany you to the gates? If she won't arrive this night you would be lonely there all alone "
Huli looked at him and gestured to his fox that she could leave
"as long as you can keep up with me brother"
Haya looked out the window and saw her two sons leave the garden on their fox. Since Kaida left, Huli always went to the gates at night. she wondered why he took the trouble, the fact that there has been no message from her since she left said enough!
....
Huli and Hu quickly arrived at the gates due to the speed of their foxes. They climbed of the foxes and stared in front of them. Beyond the gates there was only a large area of grass and a few kilometers further the forest began.
"Brother why do you go to the gates every night ? Don't you think it's a bad sign that there hasn't been any message from her since she left? "
Huli looked into the distance with a smile on her face
"She left before sunset, which is why I feel that she is returning at night or at sunrise. Something tells me she would accomplish this task effortlessly "
Hu shrugged and also looked into the distance
"brother why we don't spar around to pass the time. It has been a long time since we have spared I wonder if you have not already become rusty "
Huli turned around and assumed a combat position
"let's find out my little brother"
After a few hours, they laid exhausted in the grass. They had been sparing all night. Hu looked with joy at his big brother who was lying next to him, with a big smile on his face.
Since the war there were rarely moments when his brother had such a facial expression. The war had changed and made him cold. He missed the carefree brother he had before the war.
"You have indeed not become rusty my brother. Someday I will win a competition! "
Huli looked at the sky and saw it was almost time for the sunrise. His broad smile disappeared from his face. He stood up and walked to his fox.
"It is high time we returned. The sun is almost rising"
Hu stood up and looked at the back of his big brother and sighed. How can his state of mind change so quickly! He tipped off his clothes and looked again at the forest just as he wanted to turn around, he thought he saw movement.
"Brother wait, I."
Huli interrupted him and said strictly
"little brother we don't have time to spar again, if we go now we don't have to deal with our mother"
Hu looked irritated at him. Why doesn't he let me talk! He could now clearly see that three horsemen were riding in the distance. He looked at Huli, who was already sitting on his fox and wanted to drive away. He put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. When his fox heard this, he quickly got up and stood in front of Huli's fox
"Little brother you are testing my patience!"
Huli looked back angry. He saw that Hu was pointing at something with his finger. When he looked that way he saw three horsemen coming towards the gates. He slipped from his fox and stood next to Hu.
Hu gave him a naughty smile
"what did you wanted to say, brother? "
Huli sighed and said nothing. His eyes were on the three horsemen who were riding. He immediately recognized Kaida by the color of her hair. When they were closer, he saw that she was accompanied by Rei and Kyro. Where are the other three that were with her?
....
When Kaida rode out of the forest with Rei and Kyro, two foxes stood in the distance. She knew that the light gray fox with six tails was Hu's fox. But they did not know the white fox with nine tails. She looked astonished at the fox that was visibly larger than Hu's. The fox had a powerful appearance and reminded her of Huli. It wouldn't be him right?
When they got closer she saw two men standing in front of the foxes. Hu waved cheerfully at them while Huli, looked straight ahead with his arms folded. They stopped just before them. Although Huli looked straight ahead, the wind through his hair made him look playful and very attractive.
"My queen as i have promised, I am here to greet you at the gates. I am counting on you to have successfully completed your task "
he looked at her with a small smile on his face.
Why is he so attractive, she thought. Although he only showed a small smile, he looked intense at her with his beautiful blue eyes. She climbed off her horse and walked over to him
"my king it is my pleasure to inform you that I have successfully completed the task"
Huli looked at her from head to toe. She had no injuries and her combat uniform was still clean. He ran his hand over her face and put the hair that hung over her face behind her ears. He saw that she was looking questioningly at him and that her cheeks were slightly red. He quickly pulled back his hand and wondered why he had done that.
"Little brother tell the councilors that I will move the council meeting to tomorrow and make my round today at the nearby village."
