"Alright my Queen, I will order some bodyguards to escort you during the journey.
"Thank you, King. I promise to protect our baby.
"No Queen, promise me that you'll be safe with our son.
"You too King, promise me you will win this war for the peace of the people and the kingdom of Zuma!
"I promise.
"Alright then I will prepare all the necessities of war, Guard.please call the others to immediately secure the mothers and children in the kingdom of Zuma, lest anyone be left behind.
"Okay Commander!
The commander-in-chief and all the troops and the Royal Guards immediately held an extraordinary meeting to discuss the strategy of war. In their tactics, they plan to involve volunteers from the people of the Zuma kingdom who willingly volunteered themselves to engage in war, especially young people.
after establishing the strategy came the time of the great war...
[In the Battle Arena]
"Give up King Ludo, then I will not attack you!
"Heh...., do you think I'm that stupid for you to deceive King Zedan....., I know your cunning stratagem...? (said King Ludo)
"What's the matter with you, why all of a sudden you ask for a war like this, I've never deceived you even I've divided the territory, property and power according to what we agreed to together fairly, haven't I? Then why do you deny it yourself now? (King Shouts) Are you not satisfied with all that I have given you?
"Yes you were so fair before I knew your rotten plan!
"What makdudmu?
"Basic con man...., you actually let us choose a less fertile territory? then try to deny that it is a pretty good territory and it will never dry up for us.
"Who told you that? (said King Zedan)
"You don't need to know anyone who told me that I clearly understand what you mean. All this time, you've been trying to monopolize us by robbing us of our territory.You've deceived us by acting as if you've been fair but you're nothing more than a big liar!
"Have you forgotten King Ludo? Didn't you yourself want to choose your own territory back then, related to drought it's none of our business.
"Ohya? then why did you restrict us from entering your territory to make a fortress and then forbid your people to trade in our area, isn't that the same?
"That's because I want to protect my people from the rebel attacks that have recently become our biggest problem.
"So you think we're the same as rebels?
"That's not what I mean. It seems like someone is trying to pit us both, because the news I've been getting about the rebellion that's happening is the people from your kingdom.
"I know enough now, you haven't trusted us all this time that's why you're doing all this....
"Haa. (cry voice).
The sound of the sword and the pounding of the legs of the cavalry marked the great battle that was taking place at that time. The inevitable battle cost many of each kingdom, especially since the Ludo kingdom was cooperating with other small kingdoms so their fight was fierce.
The war that lasted for 7 consecutive days was finally won by King Zedan.
>>>Short Story<<<
[Last day of the War]
"I beg you to tell me who has told all the lies about me is the King, and I will forgive you? (Raida of Zedan)
King Ludo who was lying weak and helpless due to the sword that was stuck right in his stomach.
"I won't tell you about it because I promised to keep it a secret, I can only tell you this.
King Zedan was then enraged and King Ludo instantly pressed the sword that King Zedan held through his own body and died.
The king was surprised, then immediately to where Queen Rubi was hidden by riding a horse. On his way through the forest, the King found many bodies of the Guards along the journey that were none other than the Queen Guards. With great anxiety, the King finally made it to the front of an old building, The king then ran into the old building and found the bodies of Simo and Yumina had stiffened near an old bed where Queen Rubi was lying.
[Into Old House Room]
"No.... (The King cried hysterically to see the condition of his Queen who turned out to be lifeless)
Why would...My queen. Didn't you promise to stay safe with our baby? But you left me alone like this? why. (shouts the King with tears).
"No, Your Majesty, the Queen has kept her promise (said Moorim suddenly).
Hearing him the King then turned around.
"Moorimme...
"Yes Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to her baby shortly after an evil witch came and killed the Physician and Queen, forgive me, for only being able to save the Queen's baby.
"Why don't you save the Queen too...? (shouting the King with mixed emotions) Hearing the King's cry, the baby in Moorim's arms finally let out a cry.
The king then took the baby and noticed something strange about the baby.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't have time to save the Queen because at that time an evil witch came to kill the bodyguards so the Queen chose to sacrifice herself and told me to go into hiding. (said Moorim while shedding tears)
"So you have sacrificed your life for the sake of our son, thank you for keeping your promise. (talking to the Queen's corpse while holding her baby).
The king did not stop her tears of regret. "What's with our baby Moorim's face, why does he look like a werewolf? What did the witch do to my son?
"Although Your Majesty, actually we all including the Queen had put up a fight when the evil witch wanted to curse him. But luckily I managed to get the baby to run away and hide.
"It's all my fault. I made all this happen, had I not consented to this war. Perhaps this will not happen and the life of Queen Rubi may be saved.
"King please don't blame yourself, maybe all this is fate. Regretting will only make the Queen's soul will not be calm in nature.
"I'm sorry, my queen, I can't protect you and our child! (when the baby's fruitful face becomes normal again)
"King look...., the Prince's face slowly changed!!
"You're right, it looks like the witch's curse isn't completely attached to my son. Thank you for giving birth to a handsome little prince for me...My queen I promise to look after our baby just as you sacrificed your life to protect it.
After that incident, the Queen's death day which was also the birthday of the little Zen prince is now forever remembered as a dark memory that never disappeared. The people of Zuma felt the deep wounds of their beloved Queen's departure, but the trauma that King Zedan felt made him desperate, this is also felt by the people because the King who has since turned into a closed King and spent more time in his room, is very different when Queen Rubi was still alive. If the King usually smiles a lot, now his face only radiates a face of sadness and deep regret.
Realizing that the King is changing, making the entire people of the Zuma kingdom worry about their next fate. Restless and understanding of the condition of their leader made the people of Zuma propose their desire for the King to immediately find a new Empress candidate, nevertheless they know it is not easy for the King to forget his beloved Queen given their Story which makes the nicknames known as true couple created and exist because of their love.
