Junta & Wizarding World
#16 Kou von Rayka's
Junta wanted to see who was shouting like that, but before he made a move, he was already surrounded by countless soldiers wearing shiny armor.
“Uh... What is this?”
“You! Return the treasure you stole!”
Suddenly a young woman with white hair and blue eyes came out from the crowd of soldiers, the same height as Junta and she looked to be about 18 years old. his body was wearing light armor made of leather, his blue eyes were staring intently at Junta and his right hand picked up the sword he had placed on his waist.
“Hey hey.. No need to threaten me with such a sword, I don't understand what you guys are talking about, what treasure do you mean?”
“It's funny you say that like a thief! Though you yourself still hold the treasure!”
The junta looked at the thing he was holding, and of course he was currently only holding the black stone he had found earlier on the street.
“Oh, you mean this stone? All right, all right, I'll give it to you”
Right after the Junta said that, all of its besieging warriors raised their swords and attacked the Junta simultaneously.
But no matter what happened, the entire army that attacked the Junta bounced backwards, as if there was a strong wind that kept them away from the Junta.
“Sister, I've only been gone for a few minutes and you've made trouble?”
It turned out that the one who threw out those soldiers was Kou who came out of nowhere, right after Kou said that, the other soldiers who were behind the white haired woman pulled out the sword that was on their waists.
“I don't know what's going on, but I'm warning you to back off and don't go near my brother!”
Right after saying that, slowly the ground that was stepped on by Kou froze into ice, Kou's body also let out white smoke like an ice that had just been removed from the refrigerator, which was just released from the refrigerator, slowly the frozen ground spread out and almost hit the soldiers.
Responding to the threat given by Kou, the white-haired woman took out the sword she had from her sword sheath and pointed it right at Kou.
“I don't understand who you are, but if you defend that thief then you should also be punished!”
“You said my brother was a thief? Do you know what insult you just said that was?!”
After Kou said that, suddenly there was a gust of cold wind that hit everyone around Kou, it seemed like the wind was coming from Kou and that wind was strong enough to make the soldiers slightly retreat from their starting position.
“Kou”
“Sister! I asked permission to kill all the soldiers that were here! They've insulted us as thieves!”
“Sorry but I can't give you that permission, calm yourself down and don't threaten them”
Kou looked like he was upset by his brother's decision, it was obvious from the look on his face, but even though he was upset, he still obeyed his brother's wishes and began to calm himself, slowly, slowly, the soil that was frozen becomes normal.
“First, I don't know who you are a white woman, but, Me and Kou are just someone who came from a very far country, I found this on the street right where you stand now, she said, before I found this, there was someone who hit me, maybe he was the thief you were looking for”
After hearing the explanation from the Junta, the white-haired lady instructed the soldiers present to lower their weapons.
“I want peace, therefore I will give this stone if this is what you want, after I give this then let's return to the busyness of each of us”
“Oh the blue and red haired wanderer! Me and the 50 soldiers who are here might be able to accept your statement, but alas, our queen would probably be very disappointed if we could not catch that thief”
“So, what do you want? You want to imprison us?”
Kou clucked his tongue after hearing the question from his older brother.
“I just asked you to explain to our queen what you explained to us just now”
“I see, I completely understand why you asked me for such a thing, alright, take us to queen mu”
And after the Junta said that, the Junta walked towards the castle which was located not far from where they were standing, they followed the white woman who was walking in front of them, and the soldiers who were there followed Junta and Kou behind.
“So Kou, have you got some information?”
“Sure Brother, I'll tell you now if you want”
“The situation is not right, let's talk about this after we finish our business here”
“I can easily kill these soldiers Brother, and that way our problem is finished”
“Kou, I know you're very angry about the humiliation, but violence doesn't always solve the problem, after all we still don't know what powers there are in this world, better we stay careful”
Kou only fell silent after hearing his brother's words, not long after the Junta said that, they had already reached the castle gate, the gate was made of stone with a gate made of wood, there were two guards wearing heavy armor over there, from head to toe, all covered by armor made of shiny iron, as the white-haired lady came closer, the two guards quickly opened the gate and paid their respects to the white woman.
After passing through the gate, the situation changed, there was a not too big road made of white marble stone, the road leads Junta and Kou towards a square-shaped garden with a statue made of plants standing in the middle, when it reaches the park, the road that was originally straight became branching, there was a road that led to the left, right, and straight, the white-haired woman took a straight path and did not take long, a magnificent castle can be seen.
The castle was very large and majestic, made of stone but the stones looked more sturdy than the stone at the gate earlier, when it came to the very large castle door, the guard opened the door to the white woman, right after it opened, the beauty of the castle began to shine, the first thing the Junta saw was a red carpet that extended straight, at the end of the carpet, there was another large door, when viewed from its spatial layout, it seemed like the one behind the door was the throne room.
The woman walked straight along the red carpet, during the Junta's journey to see how beautiful the castle was, so many things that the Junta had never seen before and were very difficult to explain, but even though the Junta did not understand what it was, the Junta could still feel its beauty, it did not take long for them to arrive at the big door that the red carpet was leading to them.
“I, Elizabeth Hako, ask permission to enter into the throne room!”
Right after the white woman said that, the big door opened, the first thing the Junta saw after the door was fully opened was a throne, a large and beautiful throne, he said, the seat is slightly above the floor so if you want to sit there you have to climb a small staircase, and also the chair was seen made of gold with a blend of red cloth as the seat, the seat, the road to the throne was covered by a red carpet that was slightly more luxurious than the red carpet that Junta had been through earlier.
After following the white woman into the throne room, the Junta realized that there was someone sitting on the throne chair, she was a woman, she looked short, maybe shorter than the Junta, he wears a small crown on his head which signifies that he is the ruler here, his hair is brown and his eyes are also brown, The junta cannot predict exactly her age but she looks young, the reason the Junta cannot predict her age is because the queen does not look like an ordinary human, because he has brown rabbit ears.
“You've returned Hako”
“Yang Mulia”
Right after Hako, the white-haired woman said her greetings, she knelt on one leg as her pedestal, it was a form of homage to the queen and anyone would know that.
“So... Are they both thieves?”
“Your Highness, maybe you want to hear their explanation”
After a slight beat, Junta stepped forward and stood right beside the white woman who was doing the tribute.
“Your Majesty, I first wish you health and prosperity with your kingdom, my name is Junta, and this red-haired woman behind me is Kou, we are from a country very far from here”
The queen just quietly sat leaning back while listening to Junta speak.
“This morning, I wanted to take a walk in your city to take a look at its beauty, but, suddenly I was hit by someone, that person immediately left when he saw me and after he left, he said, I found this on Jalan”
The junta took the black stone from his pocket and showed it to the queen who was sitting on the throne.
“If this is indeed your stolen royal treasure, then I will return it to you”
The queen was still speechless looking at Junta, her expression remained unchanged, her neutral expression made Junta unable to read her wish and this made Junta a little uncomfortable.
“Once, give the stone to the white-haired lady who is beside mu”
The white-haired lady stood up and faced towards the Junta after hearing the order from her queen, the Junta who understood what to do finally gave this stone to Hako.
Right after Hako received the black stone.
The castle was suddenly violently shaken.
It looks like there is a very strong earthquake.
After about 4 seconds, the shaking stopped.
“Your Majesty!”
Junta immediately looked behind him to see the state of Kou.
And there.
Kou knelt on one foot as his pedestal, like the one who paid homage to the queen, his right hand touching the red carpet he was on and his gaze focused on his right hand.
What surprised Junta was Kou's hair color.
Kou's hair is usually red.
Now it's white.
“Kou!”
Junta ran towards Kou and Kou quickly stood up from his position, after he stood up, his hair slowly came back red.
“I'm sorry Brother, if I didn't use that power, then we would have died by now”
“What mak-”
“Your Majesty!”
Suddenly there was a soldier entering the throne room, he looked like someone who had just run around the world, his facial features looking so frightened that his legs trembled endlessly.
“Your Majesty! The servant received the information that near our castle there was a very large army! Their number is estimated to be 800 thousand soldiers!”
When the queen wanted to speak, came again one soldier with the same condition as the previous soldier.
“Your Majesty! Thankfully you are okay! I saw a big army around here! and out of the army came a giant magic ball that then drove quickly towards this city! But all of a sudden there's a giant ice cover over this castle and town and it looks like we survived because of that giant ice shield”
After hearing that, Junta turned towards Kou.
“Didn't I say? If I don't use that power then we're dead now”
“Is that ice shield your ice, red wanderer?”
Hako said that while walking closer towards Kou and Junta.
“Call me Kou, and this is my Brother, Junta, I was quite distracted by that call you know, and yes, of course it is ice that I made with my magic power, I sensed something very strong approaching at high speed, so I made that ice shield to protect me, and my Brother”
Hako closed her eyes and nodded, then turned her body to face the queen who was still sitting on the throne seat.
“Yang Mulia”
“I understand, they already made movement”
The queen stood up from her throne and walked down towards the place of Kou and Junta.
“Thank you wanderers, you have saved this kingdom from destruction, I want to repay your kindness but unfortunately we have nothing.. And also, I want to ask for your help”
“I listened to Your Majesty, what can my sister and I help?”
“Short story at the moment we are at war, the troops that are near our city at this time are troops belonging to the enemy, I can't let them take control of this city because this city is the capital of my kingdom and my only remaining territory”
“So, if they manage to take this city, of course this kingdom will be wiped off the map, a crushing defeat”
“To be precise, therefore I ask for your help to drive that army out of here, I'll bet that right now, they must have run out of mana energy, no matter which, considering that they made such a powerful attack to destroy this city, and I believe that the army is their main force, if we manage to deal damage to that army.”
“Then the power of the enemy will be reduced by a large”
“Tepat”
Kou who daritadi quietly listened to the course of the conversation now began to open his voice.
“What's in it for us?”
“Of course any assistance requested there must be a cost to be incurred, right now, my kingdom really has nothing, but I will promise you something, something, I will grant whatever you wish, 4 wishes”
Hako looks very upset, she closes her eyes and turns her face away in annoyance, Hako is upset that her kingdom has to beg for help to someone they don't know, not even from their kingdom, this made the queen look very weak and Hako did not like it.
“How's Kou?”
Kou placed his right hand on his chin, he looked like a person who was thinking hard, but he finally said.
“Sister, you are the head of the Rayka family, the decision is in your hands”
Junta closed his eyes and folded his hands together, a moment of silence before Junta opened his mouth.
“Alright, we will help you Your Highness”
“I'm so grateful o wanderers”
“Because now we are friends, I think it is better that you call us by our name, I am Junta, and he is Kou”
“Of course, Junta, Kou”
After saying that, the rabbit queen clapped her hands twice, after which came a female servant approaching towards the rabbit queen.
“Please take our two guests to the living room”
“Good Your Majesty”
And then Junta and Kou went to follow the servant out of the throne room.
“Yang Mulia.”
“What's Hako?”
“I don't want to blame you for asking someone we don't recognize, but, what if Junta and Kou are spies?”
“If that was the case then this kingdom would have been destroyed, this is a Hako” bet
“I know..”
“You are the head of the military in this kingdom, you should know our situation better than anyone else, if we don't ask Junta and Kou for help, maybe it's only a matter of time before the main enemy forces attack this city”
“I.. Very understand that, we already do not have military power anymore, we will be destroyed if we just sit and wait, if Junta and Kou really fulfill their promise to help us, he said, we have hope, but.. If they are spies.”.
“Then it is the same as not getting any help, and it will only accelerate our destruction, nothing will change Hako, if indeed Junta and Kou are spies, he said, so the end of the story of our kingdom still remains the same is the destruction of”
“I understand Your Majesty, on the other hand, if indeed the one who saved this city from the attack of the main enemy force consisting of 800 thousand soldiers is Kou.. Maybe we should be on the bright side of”
“I agree, Kou has a power that I have never seen in my entire life, his strength really cannot be underestimated, if all this is done, I absolutely do not want to be hostile to them, he said, especially Kou”
“Then.. What are your plans at the moment Your Majesty?”
“For now, let's follow up Junta and Kou in the living room, we must provide the information they need and devise a plan to attack the enemy forces with them”
