149. Curious

After mastering himself, Rex asked again.

" Did you decide to go away from your husband and his new wife's life...?" ask Rex carefully.

" yes. I did go away from him forever." said Hadini with teary eyes.

" What do you mean...?" ask Rex.

" Wait here, you can see in a moment..," said Hadini while looking up at the cliff.

Rex followed Hadini's gaze and was shocked to see many men in uniform, who he believed to be royal uniforms, stalking Hadini.

Suddenly hundreds of arrows shot towards Hatini. The woman swiftly repelled the rain of arrows with her sword. Unfortunately, from the hundreds of arrows several arrows managed to injure Hadini's body and make him fall down.

" Yes...!" call Rex to help by blocking the rain of arrows by standing in front of Hadini.

But strangely all the arrows passed just like that as if piercing through the shadows.

" Yes...!" call Rex in a panic when he sees blood coming out of all of Hadini's mouth, nose and ears.

Apparently the arrows fired were deliberately smeared with poison. And Hadini was wounded in the poison.

Aware of not being able to help Hatini, Rex went to the troops who were still shooting the arrow. There he could hear the archers talking.

" Sampe when do we keep shooting ?. Kasian that woman. It is not fair to attack a woman with a rich gini. We are men, and she is women. Moreover, some of the arrows have been laced with poison.", said an archer with a huff.

" I don't have the heart either, but I want to do it again..," said another archer.

" Emang there is a grudge what is Princess Kenanga same woman ?. How can an archer's army hurt a woman while she's sitting at the pelaminan...?" ask the other archer annoyed.

" Ssttt.., shut up. Our job is done and we're back now...!" an archer reminded me.

Rex frowned and saw how the ten-man archer troop was retreating in order and lost behind a tree.

Afterwards Rex rushed over to the dying Hearini. He tried to help Hadini but in vain because he could not touch the woman. His hand seemed to touch the shadow and it irritated Rex.

" Aaarrgghh. Why can't I touch you...?!" rex asked riled up but made Hadini smile.

" You don't forget that we're different dimensions. We won't be able to touch Rex." Hadini said.

" What can I do then...?" rex's not feeling well.

" I've always wondered who told them to kill me" said Hadini lirih.

Rex understands what Hadini wants. He carefully told me what he had heard.

" I didn't overhear the archers talk earlier. They were talking about a woman named Princess Kenanga as the one who ordered them to attack you.", Rex said hesitantly but managed to surprise Hadini.

" She... Princess Ke... Kenanga...?" ask Hadini in a stammering voice.

" Yes..," said Rex quickly.

Somehow hearing the name made tears fall on Hadini's pale face.

" So he did. She...., why this ?. I had given up my husband for her, but it turned out to be her reply..," murmured Hadini sadly.

" You mean that woman is the woman that your husband is currently marrying and is appointed as his empress later...?!" rex asked, rounding his eyes.

" right. I didn't think he was this bad. But gapapa, I finally know what my new Husband's wife looks like. Thanks Rex. Now let me go, Hadini said, pressing the wound on his chest.

" Stay here and you'll see everything Rex. Sorry Rex, I'm leaving now." said Hadini.

The wounds on Hadini's body from the poisoned arrows gave off a bluish glow. Rex stayed away because he felt glare.

A moment later Hadini's body was enveloped in the blue light and shattered into pieces into ashes of various colors.

Rex sculpted while observing the colorful ash. Suddenly Rex was surprised to have moved. Rex was in a crowd. There seems to be a big party there.

Rex spread his gaze all over and was shocked to see Prince Jareka sitting opposite a woman at the temple.

But Rex saw if the prince Jareka at that time looked agitated. Many times he stared out the gate as if he was waiting for someone. Rex believes that Hadini is what the Sultan is waiting for.

Then Rex sat down while observing the couple who seemed busy receiving congratulations from the guests.

Prince Jareka was uncomfortable with Princess Kenanga. It seems that he was also suspicious of the woman who was now his wife.

At noon, a couple of brides were directed into the palace to change their costumes. Prince Jareka and Princess Memories were placed in different rooms.

Arriving in the dressing room Princess Kenanga asked the fairy to come out for a while because she wanted to change her own clothes.

" I'm sorry, my Lord, but this second dress is a little difficult" said the bride-to-be.

" I know. Later you can help me put up the clothes. How's...?" ask Princess Memories half force.

" It is good, my lord..," said the bride-groom resigned because it is impossible to defy the orders of the princess.

After the bride-to-be came out of the room, Princess Kenanga called out to the man hiding behind the window curtains.

" How is...?" asked the Princess Memories half-whispering.

" Successfully my Lord..," said the man who was Princess Kenanga's secret bodyguard.

" good. How's the last condition...?" ask Princess Kenanga.

" We make sure the woman dies, my lord. Because the poison dart that We fired was partly right at the target." said the bodyguard, bowing his face.

" You guys are reliable. I'm proud of you guys.." praise Princess Kenanga while giving her two thumbs up.

" I'm sorry, my lord. If you can find out who that woman really is...?" ask the secret guard.

" That woman is the first wife of my Husband..," said Princess Kenanga quickly.

" Sultan Jareka's first wife...? " ask the bodyguard in disbelief.

" yes. My husband told me before that he was married and had a wife he loved very much. I'm angry, I'm upset. I do not want the presence of the woman to backfire for my household later. That's why I'd better get rid of him in the first place. And I'm glad that finally the woman will no longer disturb my Husband and my household..," said Princess Kenanga with a satisfied laugh.

Princess Kenanga's laughter came to a halt as the bride's fairies knocked on the bedroom door. Princess Kenanga asked her secret bodyguard to leave immediately.

" Yes, come in...!" said Princess Kenanga while gripping herself in front of the mirror.

" Now We help to decorate the face of my Lord yes..," said the bride-to-be.

Princess Kenanga simply nodded and let her face return.
