Black Gem on the Hill

Disaster victim

Today Goidam is preoccupied with reports of casualties and damage caused by the 'curse' for the birth of his son. He's distraught about finding a way to keep the casualties from increasing and the damage from being dealt with.

But when he recalled the royal cash that had been thinned, Goidam began to raise the price of taxes so that many residents complained.

"Invite citizens to pay more taxes" said Goidam.

"But Your Majesty, the income of the people is limited only in the sea and farming, they have no more money. The mines in the south have been controlled by other kingdoms, is it true that Your Majesty is sure to raise the price of taxes?" ask the Prime Minister.

"Yes, here's the letter and spread it to them" Goidam gave a piece of announcement cloth, after the prime minister and the others left. He sat down while massaging his temple.

It had been the second day since Gamiroku was sent to the border, Queen Asuri continuously lamented the fate of her son, every night she could not sleep well until a black crease was seen in her eyes.

"Gamiroku.." - She looked out the window.

"Queen, you are summoned by His Majesty the King to the place of trial" said a female servant.

Without saying much, Asuri stood up and walked gracefully towards the trial venue..The dress she was wearing was waving as Asuri stepped her legs.

Arriving at the conference room, everyone was surprised when they saw the face of Queen Asuri who was originally beautiful had now changed, many wrinkles on Asuri's face due to the excessive stress she was experiencing.

"What's wrong with our Queen?" / "It is only fitting that the King will divorce her" / "She looks very depressed. after losing her child, she will now lose her husband!" whispered people.

"Shut up!" said the Judge, as soon as the atmosphere became quiet.

"As we know, His Majesty the King has filed for divorce from his wife, Queen Asuri, after consideration by the ministers and judges. We decided to declare that today and right now, Queen Asuri has been detached from the Silvercast royal family, besides, we have also revoked all power and titles that Asuri has." the judge said, he knocked on the hammer three times.

The woman was only silent as she felt the immense pain in her heart, wanting to feel like she was crying and screaming right then and there, yet who was she that could go against destiny?

"Is there anything you want to say to close this hearing?" ask Judge.

"Yes" replied Asuri, bowed down.

"Please..."

Goidam stared at Asuri from his seat of greatness, the witch always standing beside Goidam while watching the suffering that was being experienced by the woman.

"I have always been faithful to you, Your Majesty, I have never done anything. We were childhood friends, but I don't think you really understand me. You did your best after becoming King, you did not remarry, but how are you doing with the girls you once cared about? Even you don't acknowledge them all." Asuri said in a trembling tone.

"You always demand me to be perfect, I think you're wrong, couples should complement each other, like magnets. The man you threw away is our son. How many times do I want to say that sentence you still won't believe me. It could have been cursed by someone who has strong science like Yola" he said.

"Sorry, are you accusing me?" yola asked, starting to speak up.

"No" replied Asuri.

"But you call someone with a strong science like me"

"Yes right, you're a man of strong science. Could it be you who cursed my son while he was still in my womb?" Asuri looked at him sharply, she did not take her eyes off Yola.

"That's enough Asuri! He's disabled! And you are the cause! Don't blame anyone else! Get the fuck out of here! Or I'll kick you out of my palace myself" said Goidam.

"It could be that he is disabled because of you Goidam" Asuri replied, they looked at each other sharply.

"YOU DOUBT MY ABILITIES HUH?" Goidam got up from his throne and walked towards Asuri.

"I will prove that my son will be perfect! More perfect than anyone ever!" shout Goidam.

"Your ambition to have the perfect child will only hurt you, Goidam" he said, then he turned around and walked away from the courtroom.

"I'll prove it to you, Asuri" he murmured.

From this incident, it was clear that someone had greatly benefited. No one knows how to change the fate of Asuri and Goidam. Clearly, he had such powerful magic that he was able to change the fate of both.

Secretly Danma notices Goidam's troops escorting Gamiroku towards the border. He was waiting for the momentum to attack those troops with the hidden magic that belonged to him.

Danma was known as a servant who was very loyal to Asuri for many years, no one thought that Danma had magic, as well as Asuri. Because the middle-aged woman never used her magic for anything.

Tired of trailing and watching, Danma finally uses magic that can make people fall asleep.

"In a moment, then I'll get you Gami" he murmured, after all the troops fell asleep, he began to launch the action.

He ran up to the horse-drawn carriage, slowly peeking into it, but he found nothing but a scroll of cloth.

"Damn I fooled!" suddenly, the soldiers capture Danma and bring her back to the Silvercast kingdom.

Unbeknownst to Danma and Asuri, Goidam tells the soldiers to take Gamiroku to the sacred hill in the northern Silvercast region, a warrior who goes to the border only to trick Danma.

Previously, Goidam told Yola that it had succeeded in eavesdropping on a conversation between Danma and Asuri. The man certainly did not want the curse to return to his kingdom, so he decided to kill Gamiroku on Kaenhi mountain hill.

Yola had also given talismans to the soldiers who went to the border, the talismans made them immune to any magic, even if they were to be affected only for a moment.

"Your Majesty, we have carried out your orders" said one soldier.

"Good work, after that I will take care of Danma" said Goidam, he stood in front of the painting Asuri who was smiling beautifully with his imperial dress.

The soldier lowered his head and immediately left Goidam's room. "I don't know, actually who should be blamed from this incident Asuri. I also don't know why this heart always hurts when I see you cry" he murmured.

"Between the throne and love, both have meaning to my life. I love you so much, but my disappointment is far greater than my love" her fingers stroked the face of the Asuri Queen's painting.

"Your Majesty" said a girl in the doorway.

"Do you not know manners?" Goidam turned her body, the girl smiled revealing a row of neat white teeth.

"Who are you? Why did I just see you?" ask the man stunned.

"My name is Sasha, I'm the new servant in this palace" he said.

"Servant? You're so beautiful, why can you be a waitress?" Goidam approached him and looked at him for a moment.

"That is my destiny, Your Majesty" Sasha replied, she was acting 'genit' to her King.

"Your body is so beautiful"

"Will Your Majesty try it?"

"Can I?" ask Goidam.

"Of course, I can't resist the great King's wishes." he said. Goidam touched Sasha's shoulder and pushed her against the wall.

"Good, Mother's magic has begun to work on her.." Sasha's inner.
