The Capital of Adya (State of Wirata)

Shuu looked at the area dividing board which was surrounded by a large wall stretching around the boundary that read Adya's Capital.

In front of them, many people were lining up to enter the capital, which contained a port and also the Central Kingdom of Wirata.

"What's wrong Miss Shuu? Why stop?" Jessy who was riding on Poppy suddenly turned her gaze to Shuu.

"Ah, it's okay Jessy. I was just amazed to see the carvings on the walls, they all depict our culture, our gods, society, and way of life. It stretches across borders"

"Jessy!" Odi suddenly called out looking annoyed.

"Miss Shuu should be riding the horse. We are her servants because we were assigned. If Miss Shuu doesn't ride the horse, it's because she doesn't want her horse to get too tired and choose to lead it like this. our luggage. But you don't even want to walk" Odi said curtly.

"Ho, that's been discussed before. I'm tired of walking. Besides, I have to save my energy just in case we're still being chased."

"JESSY!"

"Ah, guys, it's okay. I've calculated, that we won't be caught and I don't mind if Jessy doesn't want to come down." Shuu seemed to show a smile that said it was okay.

Shuu immediately grabbed Poppy's reins because the line had advanced and it was time for them to enter.

When they are in front of the checkpoint. All the officers looked at Shuu in amazement at her beauty.

Dobe went to the inspection officer to inform the reason they entered.

The inspector seemed to nod.

"Okay sir, you guys want to go to Adya Harbor. Please show your identity and your friends identity"

Odi and Jessy also gave their identity papers. While Shuu just silently listened to it.

Shuu immediately realized that he didn't have an identity card like his friends because his father was afraid if his identity was out, so he and his father just spent time in the Mountain.

"Shuu.." Odi patted Shuu's shoulder who had been dreaming. Odi looks worried that if Shuu doesn't have an identity because she lives in the Mountain, then they won't be able to enter.

"Ah yes sorry, I was daydreaming. I don't seem to have an ID like that"

The officer looked surprised.

"Miss, sorry everyone in Wirata Country from the age of three must have an identity document, otherwise they are considered runaway slaves because usually, only slaves don't want to give it"

"How dare you talk like that. Miss Shuu is not a slave" Odi said.

The inspecting officer hesitated.

"But yes it can't be from her appearance and looks like an angel or nymph, I don't think Miss can be a slave"

"It's been 26 years, isn't there a slave culture like that? Even though it's a culture from outside and not from us. Slavery violates humanity." Shuu looked down looking uneasy.

Shuu previously felt bad and wanted to cry because he saw that people who were getting closer to the capital were losing their culture, especially from clothes, most of them were wearing Gezela's all-black clothes. The capital should display the cultural diversity of the State of Wirata itself through the wall carvings on the border area. Culture is only considered a landmark to attract tourism and even more sadly, this slavery culture is already widely prevalent among the people of the capital city of Adya.

"My people, lost their identity" Suddenly tears appeared in Shuu's eyes.

Everything seemed to have stopped. The air, the trees, the flying birds, and the people around Shuu, only looked at Shuu and could feel his sadness.

"What do you mean Miss?" The officer seemed to want to understand.

"Culture is only made into landmarks and figures of speech, look at that!" Shuu pointed to the carvings along the wall.

"Do you see from the picture that there are currently residents of the Adya Capital representing the carving? Only less than 10% and even then from the royal family, upper nobility, and the elderly. From the outside, I can see because the people outside describe what is inside in a sense this is our capital. Inside, our people don't wear our traditional clothes anymore, that's understandable but this is a lot of wearing other traditional clothes. Why is that? Forgetting about origins, ancestors, culture, the homeland, and glorifying other lands

The officer gasped as if someone reminded him of the troubles of this country. So far, no one has taken this matter seriously, even the officer at first thought it was normal, but whether he heard it from Shuu, he immediately realized and felt calm because there are still potential successors to this country who are still thinking about the survival of their country.

After considering that her two friends were from the village of Wura, the officer felt that Shuu was just a villager who did not have an identity, as seen from the traditional clothes that the three of them were still wearing, which showed that they simply lacked knowledge about identity papers.

The inspection officer immediately whispered something to Odi and stated that they would be released on the condition that they behaved normally as usual.

Odi who heard that was immediately happy and told Jessy and Shuu. They were ready to enter.

But suddenly there are security officers who feel there is something strange with their movements. The officer with the rank of three stars approached them and asked for all their identities.

The inspector looked surprised.

"Beautiful lady, it's just that you haven't provided your ID yet. If you're a slave, don't worry we'll just carry out an inspection and will return you to your Masters and Mistresses" The security guard reached out to ask Shuu for an ID.

"I-I don't have that ID card" Shuu while wiping the tears that had fallen from his cheeks.

The security guard seemed to squint his eyebrows and was ready to arrest Shuu. He was a responsible and royal officer, who wouldn't fall for Shuu's innocent face.

"B-but, I was asked by my dad to give this when I came in here." Shuu gave a circular engraving like pure silver, then there was a Secret Identity inscription with His Majesty's seal engraved on it.

The security guard and inspection officer looked surprised. They felt guilty after seeing the engraving.

"T-this is real, s-secret identity" The security guard stammered.

They also invited Shuu and the others to enter. After that Shuu was asked to do the filing to create a new identity.

Each silver metal engraving stretched out meant that the owner could change his identity several times. Only His Majesty King Tano's true identity should know, that's why it's called a secret identity engraving.

Shuu has finished doing the filing. The three of them went straight to Adya Harbor. On the way, they can see a large royal building stretching to the east which directly faces Adya Harbor to the west. In the capital, there are a lot of people walking around, unlike in the village.

They arrived at Adya Harbor. At the port, many people open shops for sailing supplies. They also use this to prepare their supplies. Shuu and Jessy went to buy food, while Odi with Poppy's horse was waiting for them at the port door.

While Shuu and Jessy were looking to buy some food, they passed a stall selling various paintings. Seen a very large painting is a painting of His Majesty King Tano and Queen Kinan and their only child, Crown Prince Sano.

Shuu stopped observing the painting that was around the large painting, he was lost in the painting of the city of Benki from Gezela Country. Shuu walked over to the painting and felt a very uneasy feeling in his chest.

"Shuu .." Jessy approached Shuu who had been silently observing the painting.

"Ah, Miss is looking at the painting of the ruler of this country," Jessy patted Shuu's shoulder.

Shuu looked at Jessy.

"No, Jessy. I was observing that painting" Shuu pointed at the painting.

Jessy looked surprised to see Shuu's worried face.

"What's wrong Miss? You look worried. It's a painting of the city of Benki, we will go to Benki Harbor later because that place is a Transit port"

"I feel deja vu when I see the painting. It's like someone is calling me there" Shuu held his chest tightly.

Suddenly Odi came to pick them up with Poppy.

"You guys. We have to leave immediately. I heard that Crown Prince Sano will be sailing on the boat of Vigza Academy along with the other students, he will also be doing his studies again at Vigza Academy. As a tribute, the boats will be run together and will set sail now, to wait for the boat. then we have to wait until tomorrow. This is the last boat"

Shuu and Jessy immediately got on the horses and the three of them rushed off towards the harbor door.

They immediately got into the boat before sailing, seen beside him there was a large and luxurious boat. Shuu looked at the boat in amazement, it seemed to be the Vigza Academy boat. Seen on the boat was the tall figure of a tan-skinned man surrounded by various soldiers who seemed to be the man's subordinates, the man's face seemed firm but dignified.

Then the two boats sailed close together. Suddenly the man's eyes turned to look at Shuu curiously.

Why are people still wearing those clothes? She's just like the royal family who have to wear those clothes. I admit that the dress is more beautiful than the other clothes. It fits her very well. Crown Prince Sano thought.

"It's a shame to have to wrap it in black cloth-like most of my citizens" continued the Crown Prince in a small voice and then he bit his lip as if he was annoyed with something.

"You're an idiot, Dad"
