CANDRASA [LOOKING FOR HEIRLOOM SWORD]

Chapter 21: The black-robed man.

Hanada prepared for his welcoming event, a healer bandaged his wounds and put herbal concoctions impregnated with his sword incisions.

Hanada stared at his scar, if Hanada had mastered the water element he would have treated the wound himself. With that, his injuries would quickly heal.

Hanada walked to the throne of the king, his father was already waiting there. The guards opened the door that was towering almost to the ceiling for Hanada.

The woman gulped, seeing her father wearing their national dress. The clothes that the king was wearing should only be used for important royal events.

In the vast room some of the core officials of the kingdom gathered, they greeted Hanada by bowing their heads.

"Hanada..." His father opened his voice first.

Hanada saluted by bending her knee,

"Yes Your Majesty."

"My age is no longer young and you are my only heir." Said King Nahda.

"But unfortunately, a woman cannot become a knight, Hanada. " The king rose from his seat and began to walk closer to his father.

"What does His Majesty mean?" Hanada scrunched his forehead.

"Today your future husband from the Kingdom of Brahma will come." The king held both of his daughters shoulders and helped him stand up.

Hanada broke away from her father, she shook her head then took a few steps back.

"Why father? With all due respect I refuse your request." His words made everyone nervous.

"I beg you, let me prove that I am worthy to lead this Kingdom." Hanada looked at the King with confidence..

He only wanted to be a knight, he felt able to lead Nahdara without the help of a King and husband though.

"Hanada, listen to me!! You're 20 years old. It's time you got married. You know, I can't give up my throne to a woman, Hanada!!"

"There is no history for our Kingdom, to be led by a woman!!" King Nahda looked at Hanada sharply, Hanada shook his head not understanding with such an ancient rule.

"I'm your daughter, you can change that rule, Your Majesty." Hanada remained firm on his stance.

"Initially, I thought so. But, I can't change the rules that I already have. Hanada, you can still lead Nahdara with your title as Empress." King Nahda approached his daughter again.

Hanada retreated a few steps away from him, all the higher-ups regretting Hanada's attitude. They all fuss over it. Hanada ran out of the room leaving behind her father and the higher-ups. Everyone sneered at Hanada's attitude.

"This is the result if you let a Princess with Sword and Magic in that Academy. He thought he could be a knight. Cih" one of the higher-ups whispered to the other higher-ups.

King Nahda who was still fixated on seeing Hanada also heard the whisper, he snorted and then lowered his head. After all, plans had already been arranged before Hanada's return.

The rule of Nahdara Kingdom was not to allow a woman to lead the kingdom, a woman could only accompany her husband as an Empress and could only lead part of the territory under the King's permission.

The Brahma Kingdom is a work led by the sister-in-law of King Nahda. His sister, Princess Nauri, married a Crown Prince of the Kingdom. So, they decided to marry their two children so that the throne of the kingdom does not fall on the other.

The man to be married to Hanada is the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Brahma, named Isa. The other one is Hanada's own cousin.

King Nahda walked back to his throne, his advisers asking about the continuity of the show later.

"How is it going, Your Majesty?" Ask while looking down.

"Still do as I ordered before, keep Hanada tight so he doesn't leave the Kingdom!" Decree of the King.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Speak advisor.

Water grinned, he gave his best friend a glass of water when Candrasa was already in a sitting position.

"It's so fresh, my throat feels so dry." Candrasa smiled slowly.

"Of course, you fell asleep for 3 days," the chuckling water mocked his best friend.

Candrasa turned her head towards the door of her room, she was like she was expecting someone to come.

"Who are you looking for?" The right-sensitive water immediately asked him.

"Did Hanada know I was conscious?" Candrasa looked at the Water sitting on the chair beside her.

"I don't think so." The water lowered, he couldn't possibly say that now.

"Don't Master Wija know?" Ask Candrasa again.

"Yes, Master knows. Already, don't think too much. He'll know this sooner or later." Water answered while covering up his lies.

Candrasa just nodded then daydreamed, there were many things she was thinking about. Unsolved puzzles must be known immediately.

From the start, that little Steaming Sword. Where did Hanada get it from, also about the words that Hanada meant when she was in an unconscious state.

Candrasa felt her fast-spinning energy helping her to recover more easily. He was sure, it would only take him some more time to fully recover.

The people of Amarata who know the condition of Candrasa have been aware of very happy. This time they were gathered together while talking about Candrasa's determination to cure the plague that attacked them.

"I felt as the Crown Prince was announced to go in search of the sword, the pain in my body began to improve." Said a middle-aged woman who showed scratch marks and blisters on her hands.

"You're overreacting!!! I heard he even failed to get the sword." said a man wearing a headband.

"But I love his courage. As we know, the shadow demon is not an easy opponent to defeat." The others spoke and glorified Candrasa.

Not long after the noise from the direction of the market was heard, a man in pain was running around like a man of disobedience. He even wagged his sword carelessly at others.

"Die you !!! Die!!!" Shouted the man, occasionally he scratched his sword-wielding hand.

A horrible sight, for some. Seeing her like that made them nauseous, the blister wounds on her body were even torn apart due to her ferocious scratching.

"See??? The sword quest that the Crown Prince conducted meant nothing. We are still in the same condition!! This plague still haunts us!!!" One of the men was disappointed in Candrasa, she started trying to provoke the people into agreeing with her.

"Yes!!!!" Said some other man with a compact.

"We need to get to the palace!!! If they still can't handle this plague well, we force them down from the Throne !!!!!" The man said while raising his hand.

"Yes!!!! Agree!!!!" People were getting influenced by the man's words.

A man in black robes witnessed the unrest that existed among the people of Amarata. He laughed a little, his eyes implying happiness. Who exactly is that man. The black-robed man with a sword engraved beautifully on his waist.
