"Sera gather the generals for a meeting now, Arana, lead the investigation of Our people in Rashamsah from the palace"  

"Good Dad"

Yuki looked at Prince Sera who also saw him. Yuki's feelings are much lighter now, as the clarity regarding the fate of Princess Magitha and Queen Warda has been known. At least, his arrival this time could be useful for Prince Sera.

 

After that, Prince Sera gets busier and barely meets Yuki for a few days. Yuki only saw the figure of Prince Sera inside the palace from outside the bedroom window. That's just for a minute. Before Prince Sera leaves or enters the meeting room.

Since there was nothing to ask, Yuki decided to enter Prince Sera's study. Which is connected to the connecting door in the room. Prince Sera's office is neatly arranged. There was a large bookshelf on the north wall, filled with all sorts of books. 

Yuki traced each title of the book with her finger. When He finally found what he was looking for, Yuki picked up the book. 

The book contains information about some of the major countries in the world. Yuki's curiosity had already peaked, so Yuki engaged immediately, looking for information about the Rashamsah Country.

 

The land of Rashamsah is a very fertile land. However, because it is surrounded by mountains that are mostly rarely visited, making the country very closed to the outside world.

It is one of the four great lands besides Argueda and Garduete. It is bordered by Argueda to the east. From the capital Argueda, to the border can be reached by land and sea. About three weeks of travel. Yuki understood why Prince Sera was initially unsure when Yuki said Princess Magitha and Queen Warda were in Rashamsah.

The land of Rashamsah is protected by Goddess Barinda or Goddess of rain.

Yuki sighed. Not happy with the information you get from the book. The information in the book only tells the outline. Not answering Yuki's question, regarding the reason King Trandem dared to kidnap Princess Magitha and Queen Warda.

If you look, Rashamsah State should be an ally of Argueda Country.

They have been bound by an agreement between countries. Because of the fertility of the Rashamsah Land, many other countries are trying to control the territory of the Rashamsah. Therefore, the previous King of the Land asked King Jafar for help to protect his country, in return for ten percent of the harvest and natural wealth obtained by the land of Rashamsah every year, it will be given to the State of Argueda.

 

Why did they kidnap Queen Warda and Princess Magitha. What really happened. 

 

Yuki flipped through the books, reading up on the information of every country that had ever come into contact with the Rashamsah State. But still, Yuki did not find the answer.

"A few years ago, the Rashamsah State flourished by ruling a small country around. Precisely since the leadership of King Trandem"

Yuki turned around in surprise. The book in his hand fell to the floor.

Prince Arana was already standing behind Yuki, Yuki was completely unaware of his presence. Shamed, Yuki leaned over to pick up the book that had fallen at her feet.

"It's okay Princess, I'm sorry I've taken Princess by surprise"

Yuki saw Prince Arana was extremely depressed beyond the others. The bond between Him and Princess Magitha was enormous. Maybe because they are twins.

 "The Rashamsah region used to be a very fertile country" Prince Arana said as he looked straight ahead. His gaze was empty, his soul was like it was somewhere else.

"Ultimately ?" Yuki's question didn't understand.

"The former king, Balqira, was a wise and wise king. A King who is loved by his people but hated by corrupt officials because of the rules he made. Balqira always sided with his people and dared to oppose those who wanted to enrich themselves by oppressing others. Every political move that He made, made corrupt officials a big loss, as a result of which many want to get rid of King Balqira" recalled Prince Arana with a sad face. "One day, while leading a royal meeting King Balqira suddenly fainted. Since then his health has deteriorated. The court healers said King Balqira had an acute infection in his digestion due to his bad habit of delaying eating and eating spicy food every time. He was very sick and a month later he died"

The sudden departure of King Balqira, caused its own polemics in the government. Because King Balqira left without leaving any offspring and all his brothers had died of the same illness, before King Balqira fell ill. Finally, in order to avoid a power struggle, a Prime Minister was appointed who was known to be quite close to King Balqira. The Prime Minister is Prime Minister Trandem Jalbar.

Before taking the throne, Prime Minister Trandem had to marry the former Queen, Queen Cilia, wife of King Balqira. After the wedding took place, Prime Minister Trandem was officially appointed as the next King to replace King Balqira. 

When King Trandem took office, corruption was rampant. Taxes are rising. The poor are getting poorer, and the rich are getting richer.

King Trandem never cared about his people. He only cares how to enrich himself. Every workday is just drunk and having fun. He gathers the beautiful women of his country. Making Them as a tribute to be made a slave**** which serves him and his followers. It does not matter whether the woman is married or not, as long as it is old enough and beautiful. King Trandem will take it.

Reportedly, there was once a woman who had just given birth to her baby. The Trandem King was enamored with the woman, viciously killing her husband and baby in front of the woman. Then made the woman a lady in his palace. But before King Trandem could touch the woman, she was found hanged in the room, leaving her blood on the wall.

A curse of his vengeance.

King Trandem would never have children until the end of his life. And He will die as miserable as my husband and baby, because of a woman.

It is said that until now, King Trandem had no children even though He had tried everything. And as a result of his greed, made Goddess Barinda become angry. So as to bring down a long drought in the country. The once fertile land is now barren. People are suffering because of it.

Seeing this, Queen Cilia tried to relieve the anger of Goddess Barinda by holding a ceremony every day, to beg for forgiveness to Goddess Barinda. Unfortunately, until now, his prayer has not been fulfilled.

Only Queen Cilia still cares about her people. But his power is very limited. He is unable to fight the greed that haunts his country alone.

"I have not visited Rashamsah for three years. Precisely since King Trandem served as a King in the country" said Prince Arana while stunned for a moment. "I had absolutely no access to get near his palace. It seems, the Trandem King doesn't want me to be there".
