Zetoma stood up quickly.“What do you mean?!” he asked the soldiers so loudly.“Healer Fergodo leave the palace. The gatekeeper saw him leaving this morning in a carriage. He brings a lot of things. He says to the guard that he is going to get a potion for the King.”“Then you just believe it?!” Zetoma shouted.The two soldiers in front of him bowed. Their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled with fear. Seeing Zetoma’s anger, King Darian got off the bed and walked over to Zetoma. King Darian held his prime minister’s shoulder.“They are innocent, Zetoma. Fergodo is a doctor who has served in the Kingdom for more than thirty years. Even before Queenie’s birth. It is natural that they simply trust what Fergodo says. Then they open the gates of the Kingdom. So Fergodo can come out easily.”Hearing King Darian’s words, Zetoma was a little calmer, as were the soldiers standing before him.“You can go. Close the door, please. Say the guards to keep this matter from being heard by the
“What will be if King Eric brings all those monsters to attack the Bright River Kingdom?” asked Queenie.King Darian looked at Queenie, Zetoma, and Argo alternately. King Darian’s face was agitated. It looked implies fear and anxiety.“The Bright River Kingdom absolutely be razed to the ground. Another thing, everything that the monster army passes through will definitely be damaged and destroyed. The red orchid formula can be turning animate into bloodthirsty, heartless, and full of anger. That’s why I ask Fergodo to make the antidote as well. A monster formula antidote that also works as a quick wound healer.” King Darian explained everything.Zetoma sighed desperately. If Darian King had told him before about this secret, he would have supervised Fergodo even more tightly. But it was too late now. Fergodo must have almost arrived in the Kingdom of Nicundhra.All sat silent. They had one choice now, to find Fergodo and return the Red Orchid formula. But they still needed to find out
Argo, sitting in front, was completely unaware of Deril’s existence. Even Leya, sitting on Queenie’s shoulder, didn’t see Deril. They were all focused on looking toward the front. Somehow, Queenie felt Deril smiling behind the nape of her neck. He hugged her from behind when he learned that Queenie wasn’t resisting.Being in Deril’s arms, Queenie felt warm and safe. When Fewa flew faster, Queenie didn’t need to hold on too tightly to Fewa’s back. Deril was like a guardian angel hugging her from behind.When they arrived at the boundary of the Nicundhra Kingdom, Fewa started flying low. Argo jumped down. He was about to help Queenie when he saw Deril behind Queenie. Deril then brought Queenie jumping down from Fewa’s back.Then Fewa changed his form into a human. Saw Deril, Argo, crossed his right hand over his left chest and lowered his head. He saluted. Deril immediately gave a sign by shaking his head. Put the forefinger in front of his mouth. A gesture so that Argo didn’t speak any
After blocks, they arrived at the gates of Nicundhra Palace. Suddenly, a young man with a handsome face and bold black hair blocked their way. Argo and Queenie looked at the man with squinting eyes.“Why are you blocking our path?” asked Argo.“I would like to invite you to rest in my inn,” the man replied with a friendly face.“We don’t need accommodation. We’re almost at our destination. Now get out of my way!” Argo commanded.But the man didn’t flinch at all. He stayed in front of them and looked at Queenie. The man hoped Queenie had a different opinion than Argo.“Can you rest in my inn?” he asked Queenie.The young man must feel scared seeing Queenie’s cold and frozen face. But he, even more, forced them all to stop at his inn. Queenie squinted. Looked more intently at the figure of the young man in front of her.She looked at some Nicundhra residents, who were busy. The location around the palace gate was always crowded. Usually, the community’s business center was placed around
Deril saw Queenie eating. The girl looked so pretty. Although Queenie’s face looked cruel, for Deril, it was an exciting combination. Queenie saw Deril. This man in front of her was completely different. Previously, Deril was a silly guy who loved to joke.Deril was now in front of Queenie and was an authoritative-looking man. Black clothes with gold trimmings made Deril look like royalty. After Queenie finished her meal, she immediately returned to the topic of their conversation.“So, is Fergodo in the Palace of Nicundhra?” asked Queenie.“Yes, Fergodo is in the Palace of Nicundhra. He has also given the Red Orchid formula to King Eric, “ Deril replied with a frozen face.Fewa and Argo instantly glared and turned to Deril. They feared everything that would happen. That Red Orchid Formula would be the beginning of destruction for many kingdoms, especially the Bright River Kingdom.Then Argo and Fewa looked at Queenie. The girl kept a stony face at Deril’s explanation. She didn’t look
They walked towards the gate of Nicundhra Palace. Deril was a leader at the front. Queenie and Leya, as women, walked behind Deril. Then Fewa, Argo, and the other two men walked to the back. Behind them were two horse-drawn carriages carrying musical instruments.“Deril, do you know our names now?” Queenie asked.Deril suddenly stopped their step. He should have known their names. He saw the gate of Nicundhra Palace, a few steps away in front of them.The guards in front of the gate had already seen their arrival. It took more time to go back and look for information. The two guards smiled. It seemed that they had recognized them.“Welcome, Mr. Blades. Our Kingdom is very happy to invite you again,” said one of the gate guards.“Thank you guard, it’s great that I and my entourage can be here. We always try to fulfill the invitation of King Eric.”“Please come in. The guard behind the gate will show you the pavilion, where you all can stay to rest.”“Well, ah ... I have some gold coins
“Welcome, Mr. Blades. Come, we will take you to the pavilion,“ said a palace guard who had just arrived before them.“Thank you,” Blades replied.As they all prepared to follow the guard to the pavilion, two maids of Nicundhra’s Palace came.“Please Miss Remaia, the King is already waiting for you.”Remaia, who was Queenie’s transfiguration, turned to Blades. Her face showed concern. Went into King Eric’s room for fun, indeed worried Queenie and everyone else. But Blades always tried to calm down.“Go, Remaia, just wait for us there.”The guard who readily took them frowned.“Of course, you’re not going to the King’s chamber, Mr. Blades. As usual, only to miss Remaia will be in the King’s room.”“Oh, yes. I totally understand. Don’t worry, Remaia will certainly stay there.”They then separated themselves. Remaia and both maids walked to the other side of the palace, and the other, with the palace guard, headed to the left of the palace. As they were walking, Blades clenched his hands.
“Remaia, you’re getting amazing. Because of your perfect service, I always miss you,“ said King Eric.They were sitting down to enjoy dinner together in King Eric’s room. King Eric saw Remaia just silent with a cold face. She slowly chewed the food and ignored King Eric’s words. Remaia was not at all interested in King Eric’s compliment.So different from Remaia that existed in King Eric’s memory. Remaia, who a few minutes ago made love to him in bed. Because what King Eric had in mind was his own imagination.“King, is the Red Orchid formula so powerful?”King Eric frowned. He stopped his hand, which was bringing food into his mouth.“You seem very interested in the formula,” said King Eric.Queenie immediately changed her tone. Make it a little spoiled.“Of course, my Lord. If you get stronger, then it means that my position as your beloved woman is getting higher. No one will bother me.”Queenie felt like vomiting at the sound of her own voice. A tone of voice that sounded like a c
