"What's? you think Da is dead. Don't you, Bahm? or is it. king Bahima?" Daffa gave a cynical smile to the haughty man on the podium.
The ministers and officials in the Balairung room were silent at once to watch the conversation between the king and the king's advisors. All of them had the assumption that there would be a fierce fight between the two.
Therefore, many of the audience who attended wanted to go out of the hot room. They did not want to be affected by the feud between the Daffa king and the Bahm nobility.
"It should be, Da is already dead by now. But alas Da has something that has saved Da's life. You know something, Bahm. Because Da heard, you have ordered your men to go look for him to the Da family residence. Time heirloom.." said Daffa at length.
Bahm's eyes widened slightly. Seeing Daffa in front of him was enough to shock Bahm. Even more so when he heard about the Time Heirloom from the mouth of the king of Nevarest.
Unknowingly, Bahm immediately squinted his eyes at Daffa.
"The way you know about Time Heritage." murmured Bahm in a voice that was not loud but also not too slow.
"of course. Because that time has been with me for a long time. This bracelet is the Time Heirloom you've been looking for" Daffa replied, showing the bracelet he wore on his right wrist.
At once Bahm looked at the bracelet in Daffa's hand. And he couldn't hide the lightning of envy that adorned his two beads.
Daffa saw that glint of envy. And he was satisfied that he had managed to heat up the cucasian man in front of him.
"That's.is Time Heritage? Don't lie. You must be making it up!" Bahm evasive. He tried to cover up the envy that had heated up the entire contents of his heart.
"Haha. You never know what Time Heritage looks like. So don't just accuse Da of telling lies. After all, it's up to you to believe it or not" Daffa said indifferently.
"But I'll tell you one thing, Bahm. How do you think Da survived an assassination attempt by the king's envoy Erlan? Don't you also know the details that happened in the barracks back then?" Tanya Daffa asked Bahm to think.
Bahm frowned.
'Yes. How did he survive the deadly poisonous snake? Didn't you think my intel, when Daffa treatment was inadequate?' bahm muttered in his heart.
"Well, just like this. Let Da tell you the truth that happened to you. So that later you will realize the truth of Da's words about this Time Heritage," added Daffa back.
Flashback to the day when the king of Daffa is attacked by a hitman..
As soon as the assassin metamorphosed into dust, the sword in Daffa's grasp fell to the floor. Rather his dagger that had left a nicks wound on his arm had been smeared with poison. Because Daffa slowly began to lose control of his right hand.
Feeling the situation was precarious, Daffa rushed out a glass vial that he always carried in his pocket. In the vial it contained poison neutralizing liquid that had been prepared by Damsi long before his departure to the battlefield.
Daffa tried to open the vial with one hand and his mouth. But unfortunately, the snake venom seemed to spread very quickly. Daffa lost control of one hand and one leg.
Daffa then fell on both knees. And the vial he held fell and broke instantly.
At the following moments Daffa felt it was the last seconds of his life. He called out to the guards outside with the remnants of his power. Because now he has perfectly fallen on the floor.
After the guard died, Daffa began to lose consciousness. But then something magical happened.
Daffa saw a beautiful and tall female ghost, with purple hair and hazel eyes that reminded Daffa of his own two eyes.
The ghostly figure suddenly appeared and crouched down in front of Daffa. To then reach for the Time Heritage bracelet that Daffa is wearing. Daffa then saw the ghost whispering something. And Daffa watched between conscious and unconscious as the situation around him slowly changed.
Daffa seemed to be able to see when all the events that happened in this room came back repeatedly and continued to retreat. Until finally the discussion of the incident stopped to the moment when Daffa was repairing his war clothes. It was when the intruder had not come and attacked her.
Unnerved by what had just happened, Daffa turned to the ghost of the woman who had accompanied him to see the process of time decline. The ghostly figure gave Daffa a friendly look. And Daffa caught a sentence coming out of the ghost's mouth.
The sentence is, "Grandmother's task is complete. From now on, your life will be safe, Cu.."
The ghost slowly disappeared. Leaving the silent Daffa glued while fixing the clothes nga.
At first Daffa had not realized that time was repeatedly backward. But when Eunuch Jung conveyed the arrival of queen Tasya's envoy, and Daffa witnessed the intruder who had posed as the wife's messenger, Daffa finally realized what had happened.
Somehow, the ghostly figure had made time go back over and over again. Daffa also stared at the bracelet that had been grabbed by the ghost. And he also remembered the words of Father Arca to him first, while his father gave the bracelet to him.
"This is the Time controller Bracelet, Daff. With this bracelet, you can repeat the time to the time you want. This bracelet is an important heirloom in our family. So, use it as well as possible," Arca's father's message first.
Realizing the bracelet had saved him, Daffa took advantage of the time he had been given back by drawing up a plan. He rushed to drink the contents of the poison vial from Damsi, before the intruder managed to injure him.
And when he fought back and had to be wounded, Daffa pretended to have been badly wounded. It was carried out as a plan that suddenly appeared in his mind. Plans to uncover some mysteries about the enemy behind the shadow, who turns out to be the Bahm nobility, otherwise known as the king of Bahima the ruler of Allain.
Flashback complete.
"So that's it. Now you already know that Da does not tell lies about the bracelet of this Time Heritage. Da let the rumor that Da is dying circulate freely. That's what you've done to work behind the shadows, just like you've been doing all along. Nice right?" Daffa said with a mocking look.
Bahm was furious because he had been controlled by Daffa. Even so, he remained calm. He did not want to give Daffa the satisfaction that he had managed to make Bahm feel so stupid.
With his haughty style, the nobleman then gave a short flick with his two fingers. And five shadow troops immediately appeared around Daffa. The five of them drew their swords towards Daffa.
Seeing this, Bahm smiled. An astonishing sentence then came out of his mouth.
"It's okay if you're alive. But after this, I'll make sure you'll be buried in the ground soon. And no one will testify that you are alive when news of your body has arrived at the palace later" Bahm said confidently.
Daffa looked at the minister and the officials who were still around him. And almost all of her immediately lowered her head and turned her gaze away. Somewhat almost all the officials felt awry and were afraid to fight the Bahm. Because of his existence which is supported by Alul Lazam.
