26 Paths to Masalalu

"The future, the present or the past - all parts of life that must be accepted"

I stood under the stairs waiting for Aland who was looking for the prophecy book.

"Aland! There ain't?"ask me to raise my head.

"Not yet" he continued to search the book of divination among other old books seriously.

I folded my hands together on my chest, staring around the large library while waiting for him. I think in this library is very cool suitable for reading or sleeping. Haha.

"Meet," he shouted and hurried down the stairs and approached me with excitement. He lifted the thick book before me and took me to the sofa to sit down.

Slowly he opened the red-coated book with the title "Hope" and under it there was a smaller writing again "Ainsley Betley". I wagged my hand in front of my nose because of the dust and the smell of the old book that burst out from the book, indicating that the book was no longer read after all this time.

"Ainsley's? Is this a book of prophecy whose author or what?"ask me.

"You see this book called hope and somehow the hope written here always comes true, and we believe that this book is like a prophecy" he pointed to the title of the book.

"All the prophecies come from that book?"

"really so. There's even his latest printed book, it's just that it's incomplete in my opinion, "the point is.

"Who is Ainsley?"

"Your grandfather. Precisely Grandpa Ravanya, your name is Ravanya Betley" Aland revealed while looking at me who was surprised.

"So this book was written by Grandpa Ravanya?"ask me, Aland then nodded.

"Well try to read this one," he said.

Our kingdom will undergo a great change...

"Not that one," he said. I then switched to the paragraph below.

This kingdom will have a special guest. Those who once left will come back, take what they should have. Ravanya Firlangga, they will return to finish their love story.

I frowned confused

"Is this the reason I should be Queen?"

"Yes. It says you will take what you should have. Doesn't this mean you should lead again?"he pointed to one sentence in that paragraph.

"And we've led, why else?"ask me not to understand.

"According to the story of history you have not led here because you have been sent away to be secured from the war" said Aland again.

My mouth is in disbelief. So that's the reason but do I have to do this. The past and present are different. I'm Rani not Ravanya.

"Still not believing? Try reading the next sentence, "tell Aland after he holds his forehead back.

"Yes yes,"

They must have come. Bring change and illumination. His cavalry will come, come take life, his own life.

After reading the writing, I immediately remembered Grandpa's words. I'm stunned. The words were almost the same as Grandfather said. I touched my neck where Grandpa's necklace hung there.

So it's not someone who's going to take my life but I'm the one who took it myself. But what kind of life is meant?

"What does this mean for life?"ask Aland, and I think he's been pretty smart so far.

"Maybe...,"Aland thought for a moment."life of love?"continued.

"You know it is because of the love of our kingdom that is fighting against the demon-filled kingdom of Minurslis. Love and war are very sad in my opinion," he added. Aland leaned against the sofa and looked up at the sky high up in the library, like he was imagining something.

"If I had been there at that time. Ravanya's love life must have been better," she murmured softly but still sounded by my ears.

"So I'll get a better love story?"I looked at him who was still staring at something in the sky.

"I think so," he replied wistfully.

"Is that with you?"my jokes tease her and she looks at me right away.

"Don't misunderstand me I'm amazed at the Ravanya not you" he said. I laughed softly.

"Let's just remember I don't like younger people. I don't like kids," I chuckled softly as I ruffled Aland's hair. His face was angry.

"16 years is not a boy, yes" he said. I continued to laugh while holding my stomach that hurt from this joke.

"And again there is only Firlangga in Ravanya's heart,"he softly tweeted.

"Huh?"

"M-maybe," I replied with an indifferent shoulder. Aland furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Do you like Rilianza?"ask me to divert this conversation.

"There is he who likes me" he said, showing a look of dislike.

"That's great. You can move on from me and marry Rilianza, "my joke again comforts her.

"I don't want to get married yet. I've never liked you either" she said. I came back laughing.

"You're not a kid anymore" I laughed loudly and he looked at me cynically.

"Kim!"call someone.

Aland and I turned around. It turned out that Rilianza called me, and he did not call me Big Brother like Rangga and Daniel. And now he's looking at me sharp too.

"What?"ask her.

"What are you doing with Aland here?"ask her cynically. Can't he treat me kindly? It's not wrong that I gave her the nickname Princess that sucks, because she is so annoying.

"Look at the fans" I said trying to hold back my annoyance at her with a smile. But he instead rolled his lazy eyeballs in front of me.

"I thought you were greedy" he said.

"First Daylan, Firlangga then Rangga's brother and Daniel's brother and now Aland too?"ask him not to like.

"Daylan?"I turned to look at Aland and asked through my eyes "who is he?".

"Prince Minurslis kidnapped Ravanya," muttered Aland.

"Aland I don't like you being close to him" said Rilianza and pulled Aland's hand to get closer to him.

"Why indeed?"Aland brushed it off forcibly.

"He has approached Rangga's brother and Daniel's brother and he will now approach you" said Rilianza, angry and jealous. But more of a childish nature in my eyes.

Wasn't he the one who tried to get close to Rangga and Daniel?

I took a breath to ease my emotions and put on the best smile in front of her.

"Rilianza, didn't you try to decetin them? I can't because I exist, right? Yes, you should not be angry with me who is destined to be liked by many men, "my ridicule to him is upset.

"You're too confident."Rilianza raised her index finger towards my cynical face.

I ignored his words and hurried away from there. I will not take Rilianza's anger seriously because she is so childish.

***

I opened the door to the room I was staying in with Nina. Someone came up to me and looked at me feeling guilty.

"Where's the nine?"ask me coldly.

"I told him to go" replied Daniel.

"Why? Don't you want to be alone?"I looked away, not wanting to look at his face.

"I love you."

"Continue?"

"You have nothing else."

I kept quiet and didn't want to look at him. Suddenly he hugged me tightly, very tightly as if he did not want to lose me.

"Yes, I don't want to lose you. I'm sorry,"he said in my ear. I took off his embrace slowly then snorted softly.

"I'm sorry you are."Daniel smiled and was going to hug me again but I backed away from him.

"On condition that you be honest with me about Nina" I continued. Daniel was surprised.

"Hm..N-nina that..I-I.."he said broken while scratching his nape. I look at him panted.

"You're not sorry."I stepped away lazily talking to him again.

"Stupid,"he murmured.

Waitaminute! Whaaat!
