It's been a while since I've listen to a good story with some drama and historic spice.
Sasra is a series of yaoi drama cds. There are 4 cd with 2 or 3 different stories each.
I'm going to talk about the 3rd drama cd, the 1sth story too. I've listened to this one first because one of the
seiyuu is Hikaru Midorikawa wich is one of my favorites and I liked the historic part a lot. In the cd he is playing a spanish soldier named Ricardo Alonso.
The story it's about when Francisco Pizzaro was traveling around The South of America
and managed to rule over the Inca state wich in our day is Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Chile.
Then the story begins with Kyria, a beautiful young man which is the prince of Inca . Because the
spanish took over the state his mother and sister had to be taken to a safer region but he remains for
nothing other than taking his revenge on the spanish and Pizzaro. He lets himself to be caught for
gathering more information from the inside and for planning his revenge. Pizzaro being sucker for
his beauty and wanting the hidden treasure of Inca keeps Kyria hostage in the palace and tells Ricardo to look after him.
Everyday Ricardo checks on Kyria and tries to have conversation with him and also get some info from him. He asks him about the sign on his hand and Kyria says that he was born with it. Ricardo thinks that it's a very beautiful sign and it's resembles a flower. One day he takes him to a walk in the garden. Ricardo wants to pick
some flowers for him that were near a water fountain (or something like that lol...).
Kyria barely gets near the water and starts to feel sick, then he fells in the water while Ricardo trying
to save him. Kyria screams like he's going to die from drowning in the water which was only half of
foot high, Ricardo tries to calm him but in vain then he kisses him. Back in his room, Kiriya hates
the fact that he fell in the water and let Ricardo kiss him. Then a guy named Gonzaro appears and
spits some words but Kyria can't understand him. (well I couldn't get much either lol ; I'm guessing
he also wants to make Kyria speak about some treasure, since I didn't get much I'll skip here.)
Ricardo is called cause of some trouble and that was Gonzaro who wanted to force Kiryia to speak about the treasure. He restrains Gonzaro and speaks with Kyria. The prince tells him
that there's no more values, they already robbed the country of everything and killed the king.
Ricardo shoves Gonzaro away and takes Kyria back. Next there's a part when Kyria speaks with a man
that I didn't get who it was lol. He tells him that he will never give up his pride as the prince of Inca then he
shows the man something, that made him amazed and happy I guess. The man tells Kyria that will take
time for his revenge to be accomplished and will have to wait.
Later, while Kyria was returning, a boy was caught by some spanish soldiers, and wanted to save him but Ricardo was there so he stopped them. When Kyria saw his act the prince had different thoughts about Ricardo now and wants to know more about him. Kyria visits Ricardo at his home and he feels happy to see him and Kyria asks him to speak in a more friendly way with him from now on.
Some times has passed and Kyria now is teaching the kids from of the town with Ricardo being near him. A child named Lus (or Luce) bumps accidentaly in Ricardo, he can't speak but he understands a lot of things.
When he bumped he got hurt by a ring given to Ricardo by Pizzaro, which he got from some other country.(stole) It was a Lapis Lazuli, a very beautiful blue marine cristal. Lus is amazed by it and points at Kyria, and Ricardo understand that the ring fits him well. Ricardo gives the ring to Kyria as a gift and he accepts it.
Almost at the end. Kyria's revenge had finally come, while he was having food with pizzaro and other important guy a soldier comes to announce they were being attacked or something of that sort. They take Kiryia in the cells and go to see what's happening. When Ricardo finds out he goes straight to save Kyria. He meets with Lus and tells him to help him save Kyria.
In the cells Kyria sees Lus and wonders why he's there; Lus actually tricks the guards telling them (well trough gesture since he can't speak ) that they are needed and the guards entrust the keys to the cell to the boy. The boy give the key to Ricardo. He lets Kyria free and asks him if came to give last farewell. The prince also says that he was born to put an end to the spanish carnation. He asks if Ricardo will come with him. Ricardo says he can't knowing he will be suspected of treason. Kyria leaves and his heart feels very pained.
On the war front Ricardo and a friend of his is looking for Kyria's body (I wonder why he thinks he died lol). His friend asks him what he will do after the war is over, if he will go back to Spain. Ricardo says that he can't go back because his journey is not over yet since he dose not know what will happen to Kyria. Meanwhile Kyria feels sad for letting Ricardo and finally understands that he has feelings for him, but for his country he had to take his revenge. In war Ricardo was fighting to protect their king, he suddenly hears the voice of a bird (a hawk I think.) and notices Kyria and behind him someone that was about to attack him. Ricardo screams out to him making the prince realize and kill the attacker. Then he looks back at Ricardo and he is happy that he is safe and says that he found the purpose of his journey then he faints.
When Ricardo wakes up Kyria was next to him tending to his injuries. He starts to cry and Ricardo tells him that he shouldn't cause his tears are the moon's and when he cries the rain pours then he kisses him. Kyria goes to prepare food then Ricardo is wondering what's happening with the war. Kyria is still tending to Ricardo's wounds and notices that he also has a sign, something that looks like a hawk. While eating Ricardo asks Kyria if they can remain like this forever. Kyria says that the country will die and that Ricardo will be seen as a traitor and he dosen't want to let him die. He notices that he didn't threw away the ring and still has it near his heart. Since the prince took a liking to it he didn't wanted to throw it, said Ricardo. Ricardo confesses his love and kyria cries again (lol). They kiss and yeah you know what's next XD.>//////>
After that when Ricardo wakes up Kyria already left. He wonders if he went back to confront with the court or war.(didn't get this part too much sorry). He dose not want it to let it end like this so he goes after him.
A boy tells him the path he takes is empty, like it will bring nothing. Ricardo gives the boy the ring and thanks him for giving him hope. He thinks that he will surely meet again with Kyria. Owari.
There's a 2nd story on disc 2 this time toking place in Edo. That one was sadder then this one so I will not get into it.
I want to add something about the boy Lus, he appears to be the story teller. The stories about the lovers he meets and he is cursed to leave forever (might be wrong) and look over the lapis lazuli ring. The lovers being raincarnated and having the same unfortunate destiny over and over.
The ring must be a jinx lol. Here's the info about the 3rd cd, cast and author:
