Heir to a Sunken Kingdom
July 27th, 2009 by judessamaiHeir to a Sunken Kingdom
Once, there’s a Kingdom named The Kingdom of the Eternal Twilight conquered by an Empire named The Empire of the Rising Sun. All of the native people of that country are now slaves and serves the Emperor who thinks that the entire official of The Kingdom of Eternal Twilight had vanished and no one left. Now, there’s an official named Justine, he is a prime minister but he is a native of that Kingdom. He pretends that he is really cruel but truly, he hides the princess and he made an organization of all the Kingdom’s officials and trained them. The princess named Jasmine doesn’t know that she is an adopted child and she’s the princess. Currently, she serves as a slave of her own sunken Kingdom. When she’s 6 yrs old, her parents know about what will be her destiny as a princess and even she’s not their real daughter, they are really worried but they still join Jasmine in that secret organization without explaining why. She’s now 15 years old and she’s good in using weapons, using medical materials, and she’s really smart. “Your final performance exam will be next week. I know, all of you are good in fighting and I will say something important on that day.” Justine said. “Alright!”,Julian said. “I’ll train starting tomorrow to be prepared on that day”, Lian added. “Prime Minister, you said you’ll say something important, what is that all about?” Haina asked. “I’ll tell you after the exam”, Justine replied. “Hey! Jasmine. come on. You’ve a great fighting skills and everybody noticed that. Please help us train our skills.” Nina said. “Alright then, when will we start training?” Jasmine said. “If you want, let’s fight now. I know I can’t beat you but this serves as my training. Let’s fight one on one. We can use weapons.” Mark said. “Hey! Mark! We come first!!! And according to Prime minister, we can’t use weapons in non-sense things”, Haina said. Justine laughed and he went away. He whispered to himself “Jasmine, our Kingdom’s future is in your hand.” The next day, “Jasmine!!! I’m ready!!! Let’s train now!!!” Nina shouted while running. “It seems you’re really excited.” Jasmine said. “Alright then, shall we start??? By the way Haina, are you still wondering about the important message of Prime Minister?”Jasmine asked. “Truly, yes. Observe this, Prime Minister acts a cruel and rude leader but when he trains us, he’s really kind. Especially…to you….and… if there is no other official, he is really kind to the native people of this Kingdom… According to my mom, this is a secret organization. But they didn’t say what kind of secret organization this is, why is it secret? Why are we training?” Haina said. “Wow!!! You look so serious, what a very nice speech.” Julian said. “Hey! I don’t have any time for kidding, Do you think I’m joking?” Haina replied. “Haina’s right. Why will be that Prime Minister pretends that he’s cruel and rude if there’s an official???” Jasmine whispered to herself. “Stop that!!! Let’s start training!!! I’m starting to get irritated!! You already know how excited I am!!! “ Nina shouted. “Sorry, let’s start training. “ Julian and Lian said while covering their ears. “Let’s go to the training ground of this hideout” Jasmine said. While walking, Martin and Meyrin Campbell suddenly come and said “Hi, May we join you??? We’re from the other group but we really like your group because it’s the strongest.”. “Waaaa!!!! Why my life is always like this??? When we will start, there’s always an extra!!! When will we REALLY start!?!?!?!?!?!?”.”Uhm…. We’ll start now… But I think Nina, you don’t need to shout. Uhmm… Surely you can join us…. But you are????” Jasmine ask. “I’m Martin and she’s Meyrin. We’re twins.” “Really??? Wow… A twin again..Julian and Lian are twins, Carl and Mark are twins….”Haina said but…”No!!! Me and Carl are not twins!!!! I’m older than him!!! Are we really look alike???”. “Sorry… I made a mistake…”Haina said… “Now… I think…this is it!!! It’s the moment of truth…let’s start training!!! FIGHTA DESU!!!” Nina said. “Ok.”Lian and Julian said.
After training they are really tired and want some rest. “Hey! It still early!!! Come on… let’s train more.” Jasmine said. “I really can’t stand now… My bones and my whole body are aching.” Nina said. “Mine too… Am I still alive??? Am I still breathing?? I think… It’s the end of my world… If I’ll die… Please tell my mom and dad that I love them…” Meyrin said. “So, this is how your group trains… Even me…I’m really tired… I think. this group is strong because of you, Jasmine” Martin said. “Are you sure you’re tired now???” I still don’t have any sweat… anyways… I’ve to go… I’ll just go to the garden” Jasmine said. Jasmine went to the garden while thinking of possible ways on how they will be out of slavery especially to their own place”. “We must do something for our freedom and for this Kingdom not to be sunken.” Jasmine said to herself…She stood up and said. “I must do something!!! This Kingdom must not be always like this!!! But…. What will I do??? How do I start??? I’m just a simple girl who never experience freedom, who doesn’t know anything except to fight, who doesn’t know my real self…Who Am I??? Yes…I am Jasmine… What am I??? I still don’t know… Then what can I do??? How can I fight for our freedom??? Can I do this by myself??? I know I’m not strong… From my heart, I really don’t know what the real meaning of strength is…” “Then, we’ll help you to know that… We’re your friends remember???” Julian said. “Why are here??? Aren’t you still tired???” Jasmine asked. “We followed you here” Lian said. “So, that’s what you’re thinking if you’re alone. How nice… You want freedom… and you want to know what strength is… You’re strong and good in fighting but you don’t know what strength is..wow!!!But truly…I just realized… Why do we need these skills…I’m not saying I’ve a great fighting skills but the question is why are we trained???”Martin said. “Maybe to save this country…this Kingdom” Nina said. “Why not…it’s possible…BTW why don’t we ask Prime Minister about that…next week??? Maybe he knows everything” Haina said. “Of course he knows everything! He is the Prime Minister and he knows everything that is happening in this place…this whole country…in this kingdom??? Or empire????” Nina said. “Thank you guys…” After days of training, at last, tomorrow is the final performance exam. “I’m really excited!!! Uhmmm…. I know I can do this!!! By the way, I really don’t know what will we do tomorrow…Will we fight each other??? Or will we fight with the prime minister??? Speaking of him… How will we ask those strange things???” Nina said. “Uhmmm… I’m not sure too… Goodluck to all of us anyways” Haina answered. The next day, the final performance exam, they are intense while waiting for Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister arrived, “Ok…Let’s begin…” He gets a remote from his pocket and he pressed the red button. After pressing, the training sticks, crows and other training materials appeared from the ground… “Wow!!! That’s amazing…” Nina said… “High Tech!!! so cool” Mark added.. “We have 5 stages, only 5. Using these bows, You must target the red circle. In the 2nd stage you must run into those training sticks and using your double sword, you must cut into half that sticks. On the 3rd stage, You must run into that corner and get your gun and you must shoot the red circle. On the 4thyou must fight w/ those moving crows. You must not fall and the crow must fall. On the 5th stage, You’ll do everything starting from stage 1 – 4 and run to the other side, get your bombs and throw to those androids. You must think that you’re in a real battle.” “Ok!!!”. They all passed the exams..Martin and Meyrin clapped for them. “Uhmmm.. Prime Minister, about the thing you want to say to us… you said it’s very important…What is it??” Haina asked… “Ok guys, All of you passed and I think it’s the right time you need to know the truth. Make sure you are all ready to face your destinies. You guys are royal blooded. You have been saved by your parents. They fight for your lives and for this country but all of them died. Most are just adopted children. I made this secret organization to train you well and to fight for our freedom. This organization is big… We have 10,579 members but most of them are not royal blooded. They are the sons and daughters of the Knights, Royal Guards, and Privates… It’s not true that the officials of this Kingdom are vanished because I’m one of the officials of this Kingdom too… Zhen Haina, you’re a daughter of the Duke Zhen Rin and Duchess Zhen Myre. Shah Lian and Shah Julian, you are the daughters of Margrave Shah Diao and Margravine Shah Kim. Khan Nina, you’re a daughter of Baron Khan Shinn and Baroness Khan Su. Hyun Mark and Hyun Carl you’re the sons of Earl Hyun Jae and Countess Hyun Ning. Since you Meyrin and Martin are here, I will tell you the truth. You are the son and daughter of Marquis Caliph Xing and Marchioness Caliph Tian. Now you know the truth, we are here to save our Kingdom from slavery. We’ll put it out of being sunken! We’ll build a better Kingdom that The Empire will be surprised that they lost.” Justine explained. “How about me??? Why am I here??? I’m not a royal blooded girl after all.” Jasmine said. “You are” he said. “huh???How did that happen??? I think that’s impossible. I’m just a simple slave of this Kingdom…I mean…this Empire…” Jasmine replied. “The decision is all yours if this Kingdom will really be an Empire or it will remain a Kingdom. You have the highest rank..” Justine said. “But that’s impossible” Jasmine answered. “Wow!!! Cool… now I see why we can’t reach you… especially in fighting… You’re really cool.” Meyrin said.. “Wait…I know I am Martin Campbell and she is Meyrin Campbell not Caliph Martin and Caliph Meyrin… We’re not adapted and we know that our parents are the Marquis and Marchioness but I know it’s Campbell not Caliph…”Martin said… “Your parents changed your family name for security and hiding purposes.” Justin replied. “I really can’t get it… Why does the decision mine??? What rank do I have??? Am I an adopted child??? Who are my real parents??? Who am I???” Jasmine asks. “You’re the princess.” Justine answered. “Princess??? I’m sorry your highness” Nina said to her. “What??? Are you kidding??? I’m not a princess. I can’t be a princess… I’m a just a slave… This Kingdom isn’t mine…” Jasmine asked. Justine smiled to her and said “Why can’t you believe??? Is it because this kingdom is sunken? And you don’t want to heir this sunken kingdom??? You don’t want to rule it??? Is that what you mean???”Justine asks angrily. “No, no, that’s not what I mean…”Jasmine said. “Then what?!?!?!?!?!Justine ask. “I know what I can, I know I can’t rise this Kingdom..that’s why… I can’t believe… Am I really a princess??? W-what should I do???” Jasmine asks with her teary eyes.“Anyway, you’re the princess. I’m sorry for those words… What will we do now???” Justine ask… “I don’t know… I really don’t know.” Jasmine answered. “Hmm… what if, you’ll declare a war??? To the empire??? And all of the members of this organization will fight w/ us…” Martin suggested. “Pssstt…brother!!! What do you think you’re saying???..Uhmmm.. Princess…I apologize for my brother” Meyrin said. “I’m just suggesting…What’s wrong with that??? If I’m suggesting something, it means I’m active” Martin said. “But brother!!” “No, that’s fine… Ok… I’ll do what you said…. We must gain our freedom… and let’s show to them, we don’t deserve to be a slave!!! The decision is final…Tell the other members of this group that get ready and we will fight w/ the Empire and said to them, Your Princess is here!!!” Jasmine said. “Ok!!! Yes!!! At last!!! The real battle…I can’t wait!!!!” Mark said. “I can’t believe!!! It’s the moment of truth… I don’t care if I die, at least, my life isn’t become useless…” Haina said. “In a war, one shall stand, and one shall fall and I’ll make sure that the ones who’ll stand are us!!!” Jasmine said. The members of that organization call all the members for the meeting… The organization has a total of 10,579 and all desires to fight for their freedom. Through the computer, they hacked the IP of the Empire so they are able to contact the empire and know all of their bases, weapons and others. “Great job princess!!!, I never think you can think all of those strategies… you’re really smart.” Carl said. “I’m a princess… I must act like a princess… I must not waste any time in doing non-sense things.” Jasmine replied. “Cool words of yours. By the way, when will we fight???” Carl ask, “On the right day, when everything is ready…I think, we’ll move secretly… Uhmmm… I want you to inform all the native of this Kingdom that they must be prepared for the coming war and tomorrow, I will officially declare a war…” Jasmine said. “Princess!!! We got a signal from one of the officials of the Empire, I think they already tracked us” Haina said. “Let me see…No… we are safe… It’s just a signal that one of the officials of the empire will come nearly to this base…” Jasmine said. Haina sighed “good thing, I thought… It’s the end of my world??” The next day, “Are all informed??? Are they prepared for the coming war??? Are they ready??? For those who don’t have their places to hide, gather them and let them hide here… especially the children” Jasmine said. “OK!!!” Knights and Privates answered. All are safe and prepared and now all of the television turned on and “I am the Princess of this Kingdom, Princess Riau Jasmine. I will say especially to the empire that we are still not finished. I declare a war against you to fight for our freedom and to show to you that this Kingdom do not deserved to be called Sunken Kingdom!!! I surely say to you, you can’t win over us… We prepared for this battle for freedom for how many years!!! You became happy in this kingdom while thinking that the people here are idiots but now, I say, prepare your coffins!!! For you will surely loose!!!” and the screen disappeared… “Wow…She’s really cool!!! Or hot!!! Or I don’t know!!!” Nina said. “Haha… are they kidding??? They can’t win over us!!! I think they are only few…hahahaha..how can they win???” the current duke said. He don’t know that Justine is there… Justine get his swords and killed him. “That’s your final laugh” He said. “We will attack the palace and municipals now!!! Prepare all the weapons, the guns, swords, bombs, bows, the tanks and all of our weapons… I have something to give you… This is our transmitter… I made this… It has other uses.. One can see one in a form of 3D or let’s just say, a hologram by pressing the red button.” Jasmine said. “Alright!!! Let’s go!!!” they said. Using tanks and canons, they attacked the basements and municipalities and others… “Huh??? How did they have that weapon???” the Emperor said. “Knights!!! Call our knights!!!” “Yes, Majesty”..After a minute “Emperor!!! Our Knights…they’re losing!!! We need more knights!!!” the right hand of the emperor said. “Call the other knights!!! What are they doing??? Are they resting??? They don’t have any right to rest!!!” “Yes!” “Why??? What happen??? How did they gather all of those soldiers??? They’re many!!!” the emperor whispered to himself. “Because we’re using our minds!!! And we.. don’t deserve to become a slave!!!” Justine said. “You!!! Prime Minister??? How dare you to trait us??? So… you’re one of the native of this Kingdom…hahaha. FOOL!!!” the emperor said. Justine gets his sword but the emperor’s right hand shoot Justine at his back… “hahaha!!! You fool prime minister… You don’t know what can I do..hahaha” Emperor said.. “You are not the one who shoot me… But even I die, It’s not yet over… My younger sister or let say the princess will win…They’ll gain their freedom!!! I know!!!” Justine’s last words… Jasmine came to the palace and saw the emperor laughing..She attacked the emperor and said “It’s over… In a battle, One shall stand and one shall fall…Now you know that you can’t win over us… As I have said… We are the ones who will stand and you will be the ones who’ll fall…I always have my words!!!” Jasmine said. And she saw Justine lying w/ blood. “Justine, Justine…wake up…” and she saw a paper dropped from Justine’s pocket.. She read it..”Justine, please take care of your sister. I don’t know what will happen to us in this war… but please promise us… Take care of the princess… I know you don’t want to be the prince of this Kingdom but please tell Jasmine that she must be the princess of this Sunken Kingdom. Tell her that we apologize for when she’s on my womb; we promised that she will see this wonderful world and appreciates the beauty of nature but one month before her birth we have been conquered… She’ll now suffering from slavery. And she’ll grow up with dark clouds and sky because of the weapons. I wish, after this war. She’ll live up with peace on her heart.” “Ok mother…I will..” she said while crying” And now after knowing that Justine is his brother,she lives in peace while ruling the Kingdom. They are now out of slavery… Zhen Haina become the Duchess, Shah Lian and Shah Julian become the Mangravine, Khan Nina become the Baroness, Hyun Carl and Hyun Mark become the Earl, Meyrin became the Marchioness and her twin Martin became the Marquis and they’re using Caliph instead of Campbell… The people of that country always say “Thanks to the Princess, she was sent from heaven.”
