Click here to read part 1 of this story

The next day, Jara went to ask the White Tiger Emperor for help. But, The Rat King Jara knows that the White Tiger Emperor Hasto and the Ox King Saha are in great term. The Rat King Jara did not dare to mention a name towards the White Tiger Emperor, unless he can be certain that the White Tiger Emperor is now on his side.



"The Rat nation has a massive powerful nation within the Golden Empire, approaching our nation again and again. It is a horrifying experience for our nation. We ask for your assistant, your Excellency." The Rat King Jara said.



"What has this nation done to you" the White Tiger Emperor asked



"They approach our nation again and again, you’re Excellency. It is the most horrifying experience for our nation and we humbly ask for you help to put down this great evil." The Rat King replied



"What do you mean by approaching again and again." the White Tiger Emperor asked.


"They just keep coming" The Rat Queen who was beside the Rat King started crying.




"What do you mean by they keep coming." The White Tiger Emperor ignored the Rat Queen’s tear and asked



And the Rat King and Rat Queen replied with the same answer.



So the White Tiger Emperor asked the same question for ten times and all ten times, the Rat King and Rat Queen replied with the same answer, with the Rat Queen crying throughout. The White Tiger Emperor was starting to loose patient with the Rat King and Queen.



Finally, the Rat King and Rat Queen gave up and left the White Tiger Emperor’s, palace.



Later onwards that day, the Ox King Saha demand for the Rat nation to compensate for their unexplainable invasion of the Ox nation again.



The Rat King Jara decided to return to the Rat nation and called for a military alliance with five different nations to protect the Rat nation from the Ox nation.



The Ox King Saha went back to the Ox nation. There was talks about invading the Rat nation for a while, in the Ox nation’s Senate, but it was been dismissed, because the Senate decided that if any military action is to take place, it should go through with permission from one of the three Emperors first. In the end, the Senate of the Ox nation decided that, they will only push for compensation for the time been and if the Rat nation continues to avoid answer, then the Ox nation will bring the case to the Emperors and the Supreme Senate of the Golden Empire.



Back in the Rat nation, the Rat King Jara called upon help from twelve alpha nations.



"The Ox nation a massive and powerful nation within the Golden Empire has been putting their footstep into our weak and helpless Rat nation again and again. I fear for the life of my nation, my people and my country. I humbly beg you all to join us to fight against this evil." the Rat King said to the twelve nations.



Out of the twelve nations the Rat King called to ask for help, five replied, The Queen of the Sand nation, the King of the Horse nation, The King of the Yellow nation, The King of the Silver nation and the Queen of the Moon nation.



The news soon reached the Ox nation and at first the Ox King and the Senate hesitated for a while about what they should do about this situation and then decided that if the Rat nation formed a military alliance against the Ox nation. Then the Ox nation should stand even stronger to demand for the Rat nation to compensate for their invasion.



"Now, we got even less reasons to ignore the Rat nation for this invasion." The Ox King said and then demanded the Rat nation to compensate the Ox nation, for their invasion one more time.



The Rat King Jara chooses to ignore the Ox nation and started to rebuild his scattered army. The Kings and Queens of the five nations that have agreed to form a military alliance with the Rat nation soon wrote a join letter to the Ox nation, asking for the Ox nation to withdraw any approach from the Rat nation.



When the Ox King Saha, saw the letter written by the five joined nation he was quick to response, requesting to have a formal meeting with the leaders of all five nations, on their territory, within the Capital of the Moon nation. The five nations were soon to agree



"The Ox nation has only made one attempt to create a diplomatic relationship with the Rat nation over three years ago and that was the only contact we had in prior to the Rat nation’s unexplainable military invasion to our Ox nation four weeks ago. Although, our nation sustained minimum damage, the Rat nation has no right to attack the Ox nation for no good reason and it is absolutely in our right to demand the Rat nation to be compensating for their actions. An attempt to create a diplomatic relationship with another nation is an action that opens up a door for two nations, not a threat or attack, a door which the Rat nation’s leader insulted and we here in the Ox nation just left them to be and yet the Rat nation still has to assault us, three years later. The Rat nation should be taken responsibility for their action and nothing more." The Ox King said, while meeting the five national leaders within the Capital of the Moon nation.





The five nations soon send their own agents to investigate the matter and the truth return as the Ox King has said and as a result, abandon their military alliance with the Rat nation and started to get into good terms with the Ox nation.



Loosing their military allies, the Rat King Jara started to look for new allies against the Ox nation. The Ox nation was still demanding for the Rat nation to explain themselves for their attack upon the Ox nation.



The Rat King Jara soon went to the Red Dragon Emperor and call for help.



"King Saha and the Ox nation, has been making constantly making approach towards our nation, causing fear and terror amount the people of our nation. They won’t stop approaching us. The Ox nation is strong and powerful and we the Rat nation is weak and in poverty. The Rat nation is weak and vulnerable. We have no choice but to ask for you’re great Excellency for justice and protecting in this darkest our. We can not withstand the horror from a nation like the Ox nation, marching upon our door step again and again. We humbly beg for your assistant, for your support and your protecting, you’re great Excellency." The Rat King Jara said to the Red Dragon Emperor. As he speaks, the Rat King’s hand started to trimmer.



"I'll see what I can do." The Red Dragon Emperor said as he walked off his chair and slowly helped the Rat King off his knees. The Rat King was not wearing very decent cloth, which Jara later onwards said that the situation is so argent that he rushed here, as soon as possible. The Red Dragon Emperor soon called for the servants nearby to get the Rat King some decent cloth and something to eat, before sending him off, back to the Rat nation.



Feeling something demeaning has been done to the Rat nation, the Red Dragon Emperor was quick to send a messenger to the Ox nation, to call for a representative from the Ox nation and to come forward to his palace.


At this time the Ox King Saha was still far away at the Moon nation, where the Queen of the Moon nation has invited the Ox King to tour their nation for a few days and join them in their festival for the moon, which is within four days, before returning to the Ox nation. As a result, the Crown Prince of the Ox nation, Senator Borko was been send to visit the Red Dragon Emperor.




Borko soon visited the Red Dragon Emperor and speak. "You're Excellency. It is in the hobby of our nation to open up good relationship with other nations, wherever we can and it is not in our nature to use any unethical method to achieve greatness for our nation. The Ox nation only made one mere contact with the Rat nation once, over three years ago, which is in a diplomatic meeting hoping to open up trade or otherwise to have some nation in good term with, within the other side of the Empire and then we went to strengthen our relationship with some other nations. Yet, three years later..." Borko’s sentence was been cut off.



"You said you just want make friends amount some other nation within the Empire. You say you and your people just want to open trade, but yet your nation is harassing the Rat nation again and again. If you or your nation ever go and approach the Rat nation again, then I will be calling the entire Empire upon you, taking military action to attack you if necessary and that is final!" The Red Dragon Emperor roared.



"We only been in contact with the Rat nation that once, with the diplomatic approach and it failed when the Rat nation insulted us and we left. It is only because the Rat nation..." Crown Prince Senator Borko was cut off again.



"I don’t care what they do. The Ox nation is not to approach the Rat nation again and that is final!" The Red Dragon Emperor yelled.



"But you haven’t heard our side of the story yet." Borko said



"I heard your side of the story and I am saying you are not to approach them ever again!" The Red Dragon was really angry.



"They what about their invasion of the Ox nation they..."Crown Prince Senator Borko was been cut off again



"If they invaded your nation, what does that tells you? They don’t like you! And you are to leave them along!" The Red Dragon Emperor yelled.



"What about compensation, they should compensate for their invasion and..."Borko was been cut off again.



"If you didn’t went to harasses the Rat nation, then they wouldn’t have attack you wouldn’t it." The Red Dragon Emperor yelled angrily.



"Our nation has only been in contact with the Rat nation once three years in prior to this invasion, in diplomatic meeting and then they invade us." Borko was very unhappy and he was struggling not to get angry.



"Well, of course you invade you, you approach them, and they are scare of course they will invade!" The Red Dragon Emperor said



Borko was furious, but he thought it wasn’t a wise move to speak furiously against the Red Dragon Emperor, at this stage. Angrily, Borko resigned from the Red Dragon Emperor’s palace and went back to the Ox nation, with the angry news. The news created national anger within the Ox nation. The Ox King Saha who just returned from the Moon nation was furious.


Crown Prince Senator Borko took responsibility of this situation and asked to resign as the Crown Prince. Saha hoped for him to stay, but Borko insisted on the resignation. The Ox King Saha and the Ox nation’s Senate elected Senator Grato to become the Crown Princess and replace Senator Borko.



The Ox King Saha was furious and after consulting with the White Tiger Emperor in private, The Ox King Saha decided to take this case towards the Supreme Senate of the Golden Empire, the only body within the Golden Empire that is more powerful then the Emperors and deal with the Rat nation within the Golden Empire’s Supreme Senate, once and for all.
