3. Death Sentence for The Queen
Huling Na-update:
2023-01-16 20:19:10The cold palace, the farthest tower of kingdom Baskara, an abandoned building, many cobweb and rats roamed. Bad smell filled the air, making the soldiers can’t stand the smell. The cold palace of Baskara kingdom was kind a prison for guilty members of the court before getting punishment for their crime. They would be taken there waiting for the trial.
Queen Rengganis laid on a wooden cot. The sunken eyes started to open slowly. She was shocked knowing where she was in a pathetic condition. Queen Rengganis bursted into tears, wailing. Loosing her beloved mother in front of her eyes with such a horrible thing. King Abra was wild, he cut her mother’s neck with no mercy. Queen Rengganis suddenly held her own neck. She felt faint, choking, even hard to breath. Blood spattered, looked clearly when King Abra pulled up and lifted her mother’s head up.
“Hang this woman rebel’s head in the square!” the shout was heard before she passed out.
Rengganis couldn’t think clearly. Her husband used to be gentle, full of love, and suddenly turned into a a vile heartless demon. Rengganis’s soul shoke violently, weak and fragile woman who lived in peace never felt being intimidated and pressure, looked messy. Her smooth body was dirty with rom dust. She pulled her hair like she was crazy because of frustration and fear.
“Hei, you hear what they say!” Rengganis heard a loud barritone voice in her ears. She tried to take a gulp, held her breath, and sharpen her concentration.
“Yes, I really felt sorry for her, her queen titled removed just like that by the king.” Someone with different voice tone complained.
“I heard within three days if concubine Madhavi is still unconcious, King Abra would sentence Queen Rengganis to be hanged,” said the other one.
“No!!” Rengganis screamed. She stood from bed. Sceam louder like crazy one. “You’re such a savage, Your Majesty!”
“My God, she hears us. Now what?”The first voice heard.
“Leave it! She’ll quiet. Now, King Abra is the ruler, we’re in his command. Just obey him if you don’t want to die!” another one said.
Queen Rengganis, or it’s just Rengganis for her royal title had been taken off by her husband. Reangganis realized there were a conspiracy. Only the dumb couldn’t understand. She thought Madhavi wouldn’t awake before she’s hung.
No concubine as brave as Madhavi, a former maid in the queen palace, a beatiful girl, nephew of Ki Kastara –the king’s advisor-.
“My king husband, why are you so cruel to me?” Rengganis felt devastated. Her body trembled, fell weakly on the dusted wooden floor. Her crying was no longer heard, only sob was heard once in a while.
‘I just can’t figure it out, where’s your heart?’ she whispered.
“Listen, she doesn’t yell and cry anymore.” An annyoing voice from the guard heard again. They laughed. Rengganis squinted her lips, feeling sick. She wanted to shoot that senseless mouth with dirt.
Rengganis tried to calm her down, think something although fear covering her. She stole a glance to that closed wooden door and looked down.
‘I was adored and now I’m insulted,’ she complained.
Suddenly, the wooden floor shook. Rengganis pulled her face, her heart raced. She jumped, afraid if there’s snake under the floor. She jumped on that wooden cot. Slowly, the wooden floor cracked. Rengganis’s eyes widened, her mouth opened ready to scream. She took her foot off her wrapping silk sarong, tried to stepped on that cracked wooden floor, but she pulled her foot back when the cracking got wider. She’s ready to scream.
To be continued….

All of the sudden, there was a flash, someone quickly moved, jumped off the opened floor. A tall, strong men, stood in front of the cot, looking without expression at Rengganis who’s still in shock. The man was on his armor. His body was full of blood spatter even in his hair down to his face. Rengganis could smell it, but she didn’t care as if his scary and horrible look wasn’t scary at all. Rengganis breathed sigh of relief. She smiled. Unconsciously, tear dropped on her dirty and dusty cheek. “Commander, Commander Khandra,” she called. They’re staring at each other, that stout man put his finger on his mouth, asking her to keep silent. “Queen Rengganis, are you okay?” that stout man whispered, his muscular arm tried to wipe Rengganis tears, but he held it.

Commander Khandra had just visited the hideout. He was amazed at Rengganis's appearance, wearing a sleeveless shirt, with white pants tied tightly with a rope.
