Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Prince's Harem ❯ Ken makes plans ( Chapter 4 )

AN: Let's see, I don't own Digimon. And if this is not what you really like, then don't read it. I know that it's not for everybody, but it is a good way for me to relax. So I write. Anyway, thanks to anyone who has read it this far.

Koushiro entered Jyou and his bedroom. Jyou was lying down on the bed and staring at the ceiling. Koushiro quietly walked up beside Jyou and gave him a kiss. "What's wrong?"

Jyou sighed. "As soon as Ryo reported back, the Prince sent him back out again." Jyou turned away from Koushiro and stared at the far wall. "I thought all of this was over."

"Prince Ken has to protect the crown. You know that. And sometimes the only way to do that is to have people killed. I know that's not normal for most people, but it is the way of royalty here."

"So are other things. You do know what will happen to Daisuke and Takeru if Ken were to 'disappear' like the others."

"By tradition, they would be executed. However, that only applies to women. There isn't any chance of either of them getting pregnant." Koushiro sat down on the bed. He sighed and continued. "However, he does have a plan. I'm sending a letter tomorrow to the capital asking for Daisuke and Takeru both to be granted their freedom by the crown, as well as the King's protection."

Jyou turned over and looked at Koushiro. "I just don't like this. I never have." He pulled Koushiro down and hugged him close. "All I want is for everyone to be safe."

"How is Takeru?" Koushiro decided to change the subject.

"He's getting better. He just needs to stay in bed for a couple of days. And without Ken in it." Jyou smiled.

Daisuke entered Ken's bedroom. Ken was already laying down in bed reading. Daisuke crawled up on the bed and straddled Ken. He sat down on Ken's stomach and took the book away. "Good evening."

Ken smiled. "That it is. How is Takeru today?"

"He's getting better. He's been really sick yesterday and today, but Jyou thinks he should feel better tomorrow."

Ken nodded and pulled Daisuke down into a kiss. Daisuke ended up with his hands on either side of Ken's head. Ken stroked the outside of Daisuke's thighs. Daisuke started to purr. "You like that," Ken said.

"Yep," said Daisuke. He leaned down and kissed the Prince. "So are you going to do anything else?"

Ken flipped Daisuke over quickly. "Like this?"

"And more."

Osamu looked at the message that his brother had sent him. It was curious to the extreme. He wanted two slaves freed soon as possible would be preferable and upon his death at least. He was studying the paper when he heard a knock on his study door.

"Come in."

"Your Highness, there is someone to see you. King Yamato says that it's imperative that he speak to you about an important matter," said the servant at the door.

"Send him in." Osamu wondered what Yamato could want to see him about. Their two countries bordered each other, but it was unusual for Yamato to contact Osamu about anything, never mind come in person.

King Yamato came in the door. It was obvious that Yamato was on a mission. He was a little angry and determined. "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. I've come on a matter of importance to my country. Several years ago, my brother was taken by slavers. Since that time, my father died and I was left to take over the country. It has been some time since I have been able to look for him."

"Why didn't your father look for him as soon as he was taken?"

"My father believed that he had been killed. I had found some evidence that he was alive, but my father didn't listen to me. So I had to put off looking for him until now."

"I can get you an order that tells the slave trader to tell you where your brother was sold, but I cannot technically have your brother released. It is illegal for slaves to be captured in other countries, I cannot hold his owner now responsible for the crime. So some negotiation will be needed."

King Yamato nodded. "That I understand. I have already tracked down the trader. However, he has been killed." He handed over a scroll. "Here is what I have found out already. I came to you to see what could be done."

Osamu read the scroll. He looked at Yamato thoughtfully. "I will have the servants prepare rooms for you and your entourage. I will need some time to find a solution to this problem. By tomorrow morning I should have an answer to your dilemma, I hope."

"I hope that this situation will be resolved and my brother is back where he needs to be."

Yamato left the room. Osamu tapped his fingers on the desk thoughtfully. It was obvious to him that Ken had ordered the slaver killed. The question was why. Osamu picked up the letter from Ken. He was definitely up to something. But if Ken had found the prince, why hadn't he freed him? All it would have taken was Ken taking the prince back to his country. There was something that was missing. And the only way to find out was to go talk to Ken.
