STRONG FROM BORN

Oeeee.... Oeeee.... Oeeee.... Oeeee....

The sound of a baby crying from the room of the queen who had given birth to her first son at exactly 12:00 noon. At the time the Emperor and his ministers and generals were holding a meeting of state affairs.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor. Your son has been born," said a physician who was holding the newborn baby. 

The Emperor approached his queen wife who had given birth to the son who would be his successor in power. 

"Thank you, my wife," he said, kissing his wife on the forehead. 

"You have struggled to give birth to my offspring in good health"

"Your Majesty the Emperor. I can see that the prince has the physical body of a God of war. He also has god-level spiritual roots" said the physician explaining the body condition of the Emperor's newborn son. 

"Hahahahahahaha...." laughed the Emperor loudly.

"I am truly blessed by the heavens and the universe" said the Emperor.

"My wife, you are the incomparable luck of my life. You have given me a son who will be the ruler of the universe" said the Emperor proudly and carried his first son.

The Emperor proudly carried his first son, still covered in blood and amniotic fluid, to the podium to show his ministers and generals. 

"My loyal ministers and generals. Behold, my first son has been born with the physical body of a god of war and the spiritual roots of a god who will be my successor and the ruler of this universe." The Emperor said with pride and a loud voice so that everyone on the dais and even the soldiers guarding the gate could hear his voice. 

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor. The Kingdom of the Sun Realm has been blessed by the heavens and the universe," said the Prime Minister in praise of the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor. We have given you a descendant who will be your successor" said the Commander-in-Chief praising the emperor. 

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor" said all the ministers. 

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor" said all the generals. 

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor" praised all the troops on the podium.

"With the birth of my son who will be the crown prince and future emperor who will be the supreme ruler, not only in this sun realm but in the entire universe. I ask you to educate my son with all your abilities and knowledge until he grows up and is able to pass on my scepter of power," said the emperor. 

"From now on I will make him the crown prince and give him the name 'INDRA' " said the Emperor.

"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor"

"Long Live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor"

"Long Live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" 

All the officials, ministers, generals and troops on the imperial podium said. 

A few moments later a eunuch ran hurriedly to the emperor and whispered something in the emperor's ear. 

"Your Majesty the Emperor. Another son has been born." 

"What?" said the Emperor in spontaneous surprise. 

The eunuch didn't answer and just nodded his head.

"My loyal imperial servants, gentlemen. I am retiring because my beloved queen wife has called me. She needs me to be by her side immediately at this time" said the emperor to his subordinates then resigned to walk quietly away from the podium. 

"Escorting His Majesty the Emperor" replied all the ministers and generals.

"My wife, are you alright?" asked the emperor worried about his wife the queen.

"I'm fine Your Majesty" replied his wife in a weak tone exhausted from having given birth to her second baby in such close proximity.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. The Second Prince has been born, but" said the physician and then stopped his words. 

"But why, Mr. Physician?" asked the emperor.

"The second prince's physical body is just an ordinary physical body and does not have the spiritual roots of a god like the first prince" replied the physician in a hesitant and disjointed tone. 

"How so? My wife and I are direct descendants of the ruler of this realm, how can I have such a flawed offspring?" asked the disappointed emperor. 

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor. But I think the First and Second Princes may be both a blessing and a calamity for nature and the empire" said the healer hesitantly for fear of offending the emperor.

"Master Physician, why do you say that? My second son is not a catastrophe, I don't want to hear you say that. I have struggled and tried to give birth to him with all the strength and ability I have left," said the queen. 

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. But this is the reality. The First Prince was born with a special body and spiritual god who is born 1 in 1 million years. While the second prince..." said the healer and did not continue his words that could hurt the queen's heart, the emperor's beloved wife. 

"Then what should I do, Mr. Physician?" asked the emperor sadly and disappointed.

"Throw it away. His Majesty the Emperor must dispose of the second prince who might be a disaster for this great empire of the sun" said the physician appealing to the emperor for reassurance. 

The emperor was shocked by the doctor's words and looked at his wife. 

The queen shook her head with tears of sadness as she was sure that her husband would obey the words of the number one imperial physician who was renowned for his ability and vision of the future.

The emperor walked slowly outside the queen's room. The conditions at that time made the emperor feel helpless about the situation that brought him to his knees and looked up at the sky. On the one hand, he was an emperor of the sun realm who had to prioritize the fate of the empire he led and on the other hand, he was also a husband and father of his twin sons. 

"Yes, heavens. Why are you giving me such a difficult choice? I will be the cruelest father in the world and even in this universe for throwing away his own biological son. But if I do not do so, I will be the most selfish emperor for not thinking about the fate and survival of the people and the empire that has been built with a lot of hard work and effort by my ancestors. What should I do, O glorious heavens?" said the Emperor, asking the heavens with a sad and pained whimper and filled with indecision and confusion about the path he should choose. 

The physician put down the second prince he was carrying and approached the Emperor

"Your Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty must make a choice. I know it is a difficult thing to do. But His Majesty must choose between the fate of the empire or the second prince" said the physician in a serious tone to help the emperor make his choice. 

The queen got up from her bed and forced herself to crawl out to meet her husband, His Majesty the Emperor. The four maids did not help because they were rejected by the queen.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty" called the queen

"No, Your Majesty! Don't throw away my son. Although he was born unlike the first prince, he is in good condition and healthy without any defects. Strength and ability can be built and molded with hard work, I will educate and nurture him well so that he can grow according to the expectations and wishes of His Majesty the Emperor. Please don't throw away my son" said the queen pleading in a soft, sad and sobbing tone.

The Emperor ignored his wife the queen's words 

"Eunuch" called the Emperor. 

"Your Majesty's servant" replied the eunuch. 

"Call the Minister of War He" ordered the Emperor.

"Sovereign my lord" replied the eunuch and left the emperor.

"Physician Scribinus" called the Emperor. 

"Servant of His Majesty the Emperor" replied physician Scribinus. 

"Wrap the second prince well lest he catch a cold and fall ill for he will be banished away from the empire and this realm" ordered the Emperor.

"Do it Your Majesty" replied physician Scribinus then bathed the second prince thoroughly and wrapped him in a long cloth well and neatly and left his face to breathe.

Moments later Minister of War He arrived at the queen's residence 

"Greetings Your Majesty the Emperor. What are your orders, Your Majesty?" greeted War Minister He and asked the Emperor. 

"Minister He. I want you to take the second prince away from this empire if you can place the second prince in another world" ordered the Emperor.

"What?" said Minister He in surprise. 

The Emperor looked at Minister He with a sharp gaze because he saw Minister He's spontaneously surprised reaction. 

"Excuse me, Your Majesty the Emperor. Isn't the Crown Prince endowed by the heavens and the universe with the physical body of a god of war and the spiritual roots of a god?" asked war minister He confusedly.

"This is the second Prince. He was born physically perfect but he won't be able to cultivate for his entire life. And this will be a curse and a calamity for this country. So I want you to banish him far away from this sun realm. Banish the second prince to a remote world inhabited only by weak humans so that he can live a comfortable and normal life," the emperor explained firmly without showing any sadness. 

"I see. Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. I will carry out Your Majesty's orders" replied war minister He. 

War minister He took the second prince from the hands of physician Scribinus and carried him carefully.

"This is my storage ring. I give this as a gift to him for being born into this world. Inside this ring is all the wealth I have in my lifetime, I give it to him as a token of my apology" said the Emperor saying goodbye to his son the second prince. 

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor" replied the war minister He taking the storage ring given by the emperor and then asked to leave. 

"Minister He. Wait a moment" pleaded the Queen 

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" asked Minister He. 

"Because he is going to be banished I want to see him, hug and kiss him for the last time" pleaded the Queen helplessly.

Minister He gave the second prince to the queen. 

The Queen embraced and kissed the second prince with warmth and deep love and inexpressible regret for throwing away a baby who had no faults and sins just because he was born without a body and special spiritual roots. 

"Forgive your mother, child. I could not raise you properly like a prince. I was also powerless to defy your father His Majesty the Emperor's will to discourage him from disposing of you. Remember son deep in my heart you are my best son. You are the light of my life, therefore I will give you the name 'SURYA' which means light for the path of darkness, "said the queen in a sad and disappointed tone unable to hold back tears.

With a heavy heart the Queen then gave the second prince to the war minister He. 

"Minister He. Don't listen to what the sag queen says. She is the dark side of the Great Sun Realm Empire. Give the second prince the name 'SURA'. Dispose of the baby as far away as possible in a remote and lowest world where humans live peacefully without power and warfare so that he can live and grow up well. Make sure you leave him with a family that has no offspring, then return here" ordered the Emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor" said the minister of war He then left the sun realm empire.

"Physician Scribinus" called the Emperor.

"I am Your Majesty the Emperor" replied physician Scribinus. 

"I want you to keep this incident a secret. I do not want this incident to be heard and reach the ears of all the people who will stir up and damage the balance of the empire." The Emperor ordered the physician Scribinus to keep the birth of the second prince a secret in a normal state of disability because it would not be able to cultivate. 

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty's orders will be obeyed and carried out to the best of my ability," replied physician Scribinus solemnly. 

"Thank you for your hard work Mr. Physician Scribinus" said the Emperor.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has nothing to be ashamed of" replied physician Scribinus. 

"Eunuch Roi. Make sure today's events do not leak out" ordered the Emperor.

"By the sovereignty of my lord His Majesty the Emperor" replied Eunuch Roi. 

"Take Physician Scribinus back to his residence and reward him with 100 medium rank spirit stones" the Emperor told Eunuch Roi. 

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty the Emperor is wise" replied physician Scribinus with great respect and gratitude. 

"Yes, my lord, Your Majesty the Emperor" replied the Roi eunuch as he excused himself and invited the physician Scribinus to leave the queen's residence.

"The four of you are maids serving the queen right now. If you still want to stay alive, keep this secret and keep your mouths shut!". If this becomes public knowledge, the four of you will become my main targets in addition to Minister of War He, Physician Scribinus and Eunuch Roi. Do you understand?" said the Emperor threatening the maids who witnessed the incident at that time. 

"Yes, my lord, His Majesty the Emperor. We will remain silent and keep our mouths shut and pretend not to know about this incident and will pretend that this never happened" replied the four maidservants of the queen together with deep obedience shrouded in a sense of death, if this matter leaked out and became known to the public then the four of them would become easy targets for the emperor's accusations. 

The maids immediately took the queen back to her bed to rest, then they cleaned up the queen's room that had been dirty and messy. Because it was raining, lightning was flashing and the sky was cloudy. The Emperor himself returned to the imperial reading room to calm himself down and think about his actions and decisions, whether they were right or whether they were decisions that he would regret for the rest of his life. 

Minister of War He immediately left the sun realm empire to carry out the task orders given by the emperor without being noticed by anyone including his loyal subordinates. Minister of War He was a single man who still had no wife and no relatives so he did not need to say goodbye to anyone to take the second prince away.
