Love of the Empress 2: King and Queen

The Arrival of the Nevarest Troop

'How could those people do evil to Dion?! Moreover, according to Dion he has been kidnapped since the age of five years! Good Lord! What kind of beast would be so cruel to this kind little boy?!' Magenta riled himself in his heart.

'It is not fitting for children to receive treatment like Dion did! What was the fault of this child that he had to receive evil treatment from those people?!' Gusar Magenta further.

A child has the right to be cared for, cared for, and loved by those around him or her. Because of the love he receives, children will also learn to grow into someone full of love.

If what is received by a child is bad treatment, then it is likely that the ugliness will affect the personality of the child. If the child does not immediately get the right treatment.

Hearing Dion's story to the end, Magenta was moved to give the innocent-eyed boy a hug. This time he purposely tightened his embrace.

In his heart Magenta prayed for Dion. May all the ugliness experienced by the boy not harden his heart. Nor does it make it resemble the personality of people who have been thrashing it.

With a voice that held in sadness, Magenta also said.

"Mother was sad to hear Dion's story." said Magenta.

Then the woman took off her hug and aligned her eyes again with Dion's two eyes.

With a determined look, Magenta continued his words.

"But, Son. Do you know? I'm grateful that I found Dion that night. And I'm even more grateful because I got to know this kind and polite Dion. I'm sure Papa Dion would be so happy to see you again, son!" Magenta said with a firm tone.

Both of Dion's eyes condensed.

"really? But Dion's changed a lot, Mom. Dion doesn't know if Papa still knows Dion. With all these injuries." said Dion in a voice that was almost like a wail.

Magenta felt his heart pinched upon hearing the despair in the voice of the boy before him. Then spontaneously grabbed his two shoulders Dion. Her squeezed shoulder was strong enough that it still felt small in her hand. Both of Dion's eyes were raised to look at him.

Then Magenta continued saying.

"No parent will ever forget their child, son. All parents will always love their children. Even until the child is grown up. Just like Dion's mom and dad. They must have loved Dion very much. And they must still be looking for Dion to this day. Trust mom!" Magenta said with confidence.

Two clear crystal feathers were soundlessly decaying on Dion's innocent and pale face. The boy could not reply to Magenta's words. This is caused by a sense of tightness and more hope that squeezes his heart.

Dion really hoped Magenta's words were true. That his true Papa is still looking for himself to this day. That Papa also misses him, just as he missed his Papa until now.

How longing it always torments the lonely nights that the boy has to go through in the secluded room where he is locked up. How longing it kept him through every wound and pain he had to feel for every shot of blood on certain nights.

Dion really misses his old life. And he really misses his Papa Yansen.

...

Brakk!!

Dion and Magenta were both shocked when they heard the door of the house being forced open. The second look immediately turned towards the door and found Boru entering the house in a hurry.

Boru looks like he just finished bathing in the river. It looks like her hair is still wet. And he was like his shower in a hurry. From the clothes she was wearing after the shower.

Currently Boru still wears dirty clothes before he goes to shower. And I don't know where the clean clothes are. Magenta did not see about the clothes as usual brought by Boru after his return he from bathing in the river.

"Mother! Mama!" Boru sounded panicked.

"What's up, kid? You surprised mom! And why are you wearing such dirty clothes? Where's the shirt you were wearing?" Magenta asked, reprimanding the son.

Boru was stunned when he realized the truth of the mother's words. He did not realize he was wearing the wrong clothes. He even left his copy shirt by the river.

"Ohh..! Siall-!" Uncompleted Boru cursed, his mouth made silenced by the sharp gaze of the mother.

Boru also took the oath of absorbency that was about to be thrown. Only then remembered back to what he had wanted to convey to Magenta. The reason why he did some carelessness today.

"What?! That's a real danger to Boru Somario! What if the current is heavy and you get carried away by it? How many times have you told me to take a bath by the river!" Magenta's curse rages.

"Dark! Duh! Yes mom! Pardon me! Boru promised never to do it again!" Shouted Boru while trying to release his ear which was picked up by Magenta.

"But Ma! Listen to Boru first! Boru then finds the source of the sound that Boru heard. And it turns out to be true! There is a horse that Boru saw," Boru continued.

"Yes! And I've seen red rhinos! What are you gonna say, huh? Just because of the horses, and you dare to go down the river like that! Aren't you ashamed of your age, Ru?!" Magenta continued to nag Boru.

"Oh duh! Mama! Listen to Boru first! Not just one horse Boru saw, Mom! But there are dozens, no! There may be hundreds of horses planted near the empty land on the river's downstream!"

"Then why? Could it be the property of the traders who just returned from wandering? Don't exaggerate something that's already common, Boru! You're a childish one hell of a time!" Magenta.

"No, mother! The horse does not belong to the merchants! Don't you remember that this time is entering the month before the celebration? The royal decree forbids people to travel abroad before and during the major festivities. And the average trader has come back about a week ago, right, ma'am?!" Boru continued to explain.

Magenta was stunned. He realized the truth in Boru's explanation.

Boru who caught the opportunity to save his ears immediately took the opportunity. Hurriedly he kept his distance back from Magenta. So that when his mother woke up, he could not reach back Boru's ear.

"Your words are true as well" Magenta murmured while thinking hard. He was just reminded of the month of great celebrations in this kingdom that will take place in the next month.

It was the biggest day of celebration in the kingdom of Goluth. Where the last rulers will do a procession of offerings for one full heart while visiting the meal of his predecessors who have not been at the top of the highest mountain in the kingdom of Goluth. The Tinggirest mountain.

Since centuries ago this celebration became the most sacred celebration that should not be missed every year. And while the king went to visit the tombs of his ancestors, the people of Goluth were forbidden to travel to distant places during the month of celebration.

Told by ancient parents, that once this celebration was missed. It turned out that during the following year his kingdom of Goluth faced many earthquake disasters, strong winds, as well as strange disease disasters that are difficult to explain by common sense.

And for those who break the prohibition not to travel far will also suffer a terrible fate. Whether it's dead, or left for dead by someone he loves. That's according to the story.

So that since then the great celebration continues to be held in this kingdom.

"If they don't belong to the merchants, then whose horses do they belong to?" Magenta asked in his murmur.

"King Daffa, Mom! King Daffa and his army are very close to our city! Most likely our city will soon be attacked by her!" Boru replied with a real-sounding cringe.

"What?!"

Magenta is shocked not to play. Meanwhile, Dion stared confused because he did not understand the real situation that occurred at this time.

"Therefore, Mom! Let's hurry out of this town! Before-"

Uncompleted Boru spoke, when suddenly the silence of the morning in the city was broken by the noise and the cries of the people out there.

Vaguely Magenta could land people shouting,

"Run! Everybody run! Nevarest's men are coming!"

Magenta's heart was pounding. Did not expect that he would face the direct time of war with their neighboring country.

"Come, Mom! We'll be leaving!" Get Boru to hurry.

Magenta's heart was still pounding violently, when he heard the sound of horsemen breaking the peace of his small town. Spontaneous course Magenta grabbed Boru and Dion's hands. Trying not to separate him from the two.

"It's too late, son. Like this city has been besieged by them.." lirih Magenta sounded resigned.
