Chapter 1
His birth was predestined. All his people have been waiting for the birth of a new ruler. After a long wait, the heir was finally born into the world.
"By the gift of the Gods. The heir to this kingdom has been born into the world. He will later lead this country. He is also the one who in the future will protect our country. He is the heir to our nation. He is the son of the nation of our kingdom⦠Welcome this new ruler !"
Jaya Prince Rio! All called for the same. In fact, not only humans were enthusiastic about the birth of Prince Rio, but nature also greeted the birth of the heir later.
The wind creates storms across the country, like a dancer. This hurricane dances to make patterns on the ceiling. No one was afraid of the coming of this storm, but they were happy because nature also accepted Prince Rio.
As with the wind, the sky is no less eager to speak. The roar of thunder was heard everywhere, which could be interpreted, the sky was also happy with the birth of the new ruler of this land.
Everyone cheered, all enthusiastic about the birth of Prince Rio. Everyone had high hopes for the Prince, who was only 40 days old.
Just like babies in general, Prince Rio can't do anything. He was still closed when his father rocked him. Nor does he weep when his People cry out his name.
He was calm in his father's warm embrace, and seemed sound asleep in his little sleep.
"Let's start the ceremony!"
The celebration began. All the pairs who were present there enjoyed the ceremony for the purification of Prince Rio, as well as the appointment of Prince Rio as the Crown Prince of this nation.
Just because he has become the Crown Prince doesn't mean that Prince Rio has to bear all the responsibility of the country's leadership for now. Of course not, everything needs a process.
Later when he was 17 years old, it was mandatory for Rio to carry out his duties.
"Become a useful Leader in the future, my son."
A father wishes the best for his son. Which father doesn't want his child to be the pride of the nation, every parent hopes for the best for his baby in the future.
"Look dear, even though he is still a child, our son is already very strong, just like his father."
"You're right dear. He already looks very handsome, his eyes are beautiful like his mother's," replied Dad.
"His lips are also sweet. He is so perfect. The Gods have given us this very precious little Angel," Dad continued again.
Kissed his wife's forehead. Rio's parents kept praising little Rio who was fast asleep in Ranya's lap.
Hundreds of years they waited for Rio's birth, and now after a long wait they were finally given the opportunity by the Gods to pet the tiny baby named Rio.
The Lunar Kingdom was made happy because of Rio's birth, and all the People of this nation felt they had received a truly incomparable Gift.
The celebration continues. Festive parties and Bazzar are also still coloring this country. Joy is evident in this Lunar Kingdom, everyone is dancing, laughing, and doing what they like to make this country happy.
All the Peoples unite, and rejoice to make King Byun happy. Queen Ranya kept smiling, while praying to God so that Rio would become a useful child in the future.
Rocked Rio in his lap. Rio looked calm in his mother's arms. He didn't cry at all, what else bothered Ranya.
It seemed like little Rio didn't want to bother his mother, so he just slept in his mother's warm and comforting lap.
****
40 days 40 nights, this celebration is still going on without stopping. The People were pampered with the magic that this Lunar Kingdom had. Starting from the fireworks display to the magic show are also displayed in the celebration.
The audience who came did not feel bored even though it had been 40 days, on the contrary they were more enthusiastic because the People's Party that was made was not boring.
King Byun did not necessarily make this celebration only for his people. The entire royal alliance was also invited as well. By inviting all the kings from neighboring kingdoms, King Byun hopes that others will also feel the happiness that he feels.
Everyone did come, but there was still one thing that really bothered King Byun. What else was he worried about this time? Is Rio's presence still not enough?
Could it be because the party was not lively? But that doesn't seem to be the case, because everything has gone according to plan.
If that's not it, then what is?
"My lord?" Ranya comes to scold. Seeing the looking King Byun made Ranya anxious.
"I've noticed that lately my lord is not in the mood anymore. Is there anything my lord is thinking about? My lord can tell me about it, maybe I can help ease my master's mind."
This is called a dutiful wife. When there was pleasure in front of her eyes, she did not forget her duty as a wife.
When the husband is worried about something, then a wife must be there to help relieve that anxiety. Then a woman is considered a good wife if she can lighten the burden experienced by her husband.
From atop his throne King Byun replied, "Nothing I can think of, it's just that this celebration is incomplete without the presence of my friend, the Sun King."
His restlessness was caused by the absence of a friend, "Perhaps the Sun King has his reasons, why he did not attend my Lord's invitation."
Ranya tries to explain the situation. Ranya came not just to talk but to make King Byun calm down and smile.
"It doesn't look like him. You know how the Sun King treats me? He trusts me so much and I trust him more than a brother."
King Byun is getting more and more gloomy, he is annoyed by the absence of the Sun King in his celebration.
"I understand what your lord is feeling right now. Maybe he forgot to tell your lord the reason why he couldn't attend this celebration that your lord made..."
It seemed difficult for Ranya to make King Byun calm down again. Because a Byun's love for his friends is beyond the breadth of the ocean
