Long ago,
In the high province of Humamoto, was a
High General who commands in honour and has by experience won countless battles:
General Yamagata Aritomo.
Serving for over 45 years, standing beside the Emperor : Emperor Meiji who was 15 when he took over the throne. Kumamoto was flourishing in peace and in wealth and the country was modernizing as fast as a bird can fly. Just as soon as everywhere was peaceful.Then came the 50 days siege of the Kumamoto Castle.
The army lost it's composure due to a large time frame war of non-stop combat and no sign of resting.So many dignified figures died and it was a tragedy and a trauma to all of Kumamoto because most of the towns and some parts of the Castle were badly damaged and it did wreck their economy because they will have to rebuild their palace and fortress.
After so many years Emperor Meiji and his special advisers alongside the strong labourers partake in building the castle much stronger than before and signed numerous treaties to stop wars and enhance productivity.
Shortly the bandits of Higawara attacked Kumamoto which was rich in gold and ivory for their selfish gain.This also caused another grieve for the King because his army suffered a great loss from the 50 days castle siege that he has to hire some of the nations best mercenaries from other provinces to fight and defend Kumamoto.
EPISODE 2:
They fought countless war and yamagata aritomo died,he died so the survivors can continue the journey to the castle safely to warn the King. When they broke the news to the King about his long serving servant he was so depressed that he was ill for so many days before accepting fate.
It had a great impact on the army. The morale of the infinite soldiers fell, so they have to recruit young blood from the villages of kumamoto to become Soldiers and also the post of the general was still vacant and everyone was at their peak just to be selected as the general during the recruitment training.
Soon after they was a poor orpan whose name is Takairo jitsu who was overlooked because he was the last hope of his family name. So they didn't pick him out of pity.
Lucky enough he had an encounter with the princess who was going to meet the prince of the next village,she had snicked out of the palace to meet her so called prince and didn't carry any source of protection but she fell into a trap which killed her horse.
EPISODE 3:
Then the orphan was in the bushes watching all that is happening. Seeing the princess alone on the dangerous road which is always deadly and cunning he had pity on her, then encountered the prince who only lied for his personality and was the kingpin of a brutal thug group he r***d the princess on the spot in his presence.
Takairo reached out to a nearby baton and hit it on the leader,everyone was startled at such courage. Then a brawl begins he knocked down the famous fighters in the clan. They all ran away leaving the unconscious princess half dead.
He kept the princess in a safe zone then rushed for his cart carrying fresh fruits but declined his tasks to deliver fruits to save a dying life. He took the horse from the cart and took her to the nearest inn.
The inn told and explained to him that holding on to a Royal life is highly dangerous as it can lead to prosecution of both parties involved.
EPISODE 4:
The next morning there was a rowdy scene along the dangerous road since they saw her shoes and the dead horse. They all knew she has been kidn*pped.
Soon after vital investigation they saw a large cart of fruit they moved it to the market and asked for the owner of the cart and it soon points to the orphan.
Shortly the whole imperial family and officials was at his gate demanding for his arrest. The inn soon came out and solely defended him and told the Royal highness
that he was the one who saved his daughter for the bandits.
When the princess was brought they couldn't believe their eyes and summoned the young recruit to assault him but he didn't flinch he took them all down leaving the King speechless,then he came down from his chariot and Takairo bowed down.
EPISODE 5:
There was dark clouds covering the sky when the Bandits enraged killing some officials.
An arrow was fired to the King and Takairo took it on his chest for the King when the bandits saw him again they all ran away, thinking about the experience of yesterday.
Soon they promote Takairo to the post of the second general on the spot drawing him closer to the King,Takairo explained with his intelligence that all of this was set up by the King's younger brother and the General to dethrone and assassinate him. It soon dawned on him that he needs to be very careful.
Takairo was so keen on getting the plans of the General and the King's younger brother. But after so many traces of following them he came to realize that his brother wants to personally want to divide the Kingdom into half. Late at night Takairo entered the General's room and tore the bag he used in carrying Kumamoto's political and ancient scrolls to the next province and soon went back to sleep.
The general sneaked from the upper chambers to the stable and soon took off on his horse thinking everyone was asleep but Takairo wasn't, he hurriedly rushed to the stable to ride on his horse following him.
He travelled really far from the kingdom and Takairo followed him so far that he saw all accomplises so many against Emperor Meiji he told the King all his plans but declined that his brother can't do it.
Meanwhile the princess is madly in love with Takairo and convince her father to make him the head of her Security team.
The King was furious and declined her opinion silently telling her that the battlefield is made for the poor who initially has nothing to lose,but the princess told the King of the genuine love he has for the King's loyal bodyguard.
EPISODE 6:
Few weeks later Takairo was crowned and honoured as the General of Kumamoto he also led the young bloods in numerous victories and conquering many provinces and stretching the territories of Kumamoto.
Later the King lifted him up to the position of a special adviser this sent ripples to the kingdom and the old councils of the King because becoming a special adviser Takairo is now their Superior and they don't want to be a follower of a young boy.
Sooner than later the King finally agreed to fix the marriage between Takairo and the princess because he knew his time is near and trust his special adviser the most and also entrust the princess care in his hands.
On the day of the wedding the King was killed and Takairo was the major suspect and he was tried in court and also imprisoned but before accepting the court charges against him he vowed and told them that he would sleep in an empty coffin for seven days without food and water.
And that if he survived the term he would be free from going to prison for being innocent but the whole court burst into laughter chanting that he wants to kill himself and the judge soon agreed and he was placed in the coffin sealed tight and guarded by the 7 special forces except with a condition that he would always speak to his wife every night.
EPISODE 7:
And they all laughed saying that their conversation wouldn't last in three days and on the fifth day he ordered his wife to get him a parrot hail and healthy with his mouth sealed tight so he wouldn't talk on that same night alongside two days feed for it.
The banned General and some soldiers came in laughing that he would have died so he opened the seal of the parrot's mouth when he heard them discussing about their evil scheme and the parrot repeated everything they said they were shocked and at the same time afraid they want to break the coffin open and the princess called the judge who caught them wanting to break the coffin and they were exposed and at the same time executed.
Takairo was free and soon become the chosen Emperor.
