Queen Without Crown
Chapter 108 Enemies In Blankets
Some days King Sagar feels there is a strange thing in his palace even though everything still looks the same. The bodyguards are still on guard and the royal staff are still doing their job well.
But there was something stuck in his heart, something unnatural yet he did not know what.
While the fairies sent by Queen Malea have her assigned to protect the border. So he actually had no reason to worry. However, his feelings remain the same. Odd.
At night when Queen Akemi has fallen asleep, King Sagar goes to the balcony to breathe fresh air. He accidentally saw about a dozen soldiers on patrol suddenly stopping in the shadows of the trees.
King Sagar squinted his eyes to see more clearly what they were doing.
"God! " King Sagar smothered his own mouth as soon as he saw the soldiers transformed into other people. They were now seen as pale-skinned youths.
A daemonie? They've infiltrated here? Jesus !
King Sagar immediately changed his clothes and went out to look for his personal bodyguard. As the King hurriedly walked down the corridor with the floor covered in dark brown flowers, suddenly the man's steps came to a halt.
There were two strangers in front of me talking. King Sagar never saw the two men. Although he did not know the names of all the bodyguards and staff in the palace, King Sagar was at least able to recognize their faces.
"Ehm! " King Sagar cleared his throat and approached them. But strangely enough, when they turned around King Sagar saw a familiar face. They were Timur and Diarto, his personal bodyguards.
"Good night, Your Majesty! " Say them in unison.
"Good night." King Sagar acted as if nothing had happened. If he had not seen the soldiers who changed, of course he would have assumed the two people in front of him were his original subordinates.
"Can you prepare a horse for me tomorrow morning? I haven't rode a long time." King Sagar tried to find an excuse.
"All right, Your Majesty. We'll get it ready now." The two of them immediately went to the stables to prepare the horses.
King Sagar immediately returned to his room and woke his wife.
"Wake baby! " His whisper while shaking his wife's body.
"Is it morning? " Queen Akemi looks sleepy.
"Std.. Please go to the children's room now. Take them to the secret room in the library. Don't tell anyone including the waiters! " King Sagar said seriously to his wife.
Queen Akemi's skull immediately brushed. She did not know what had happened, but from her husband's attitude she knew something serious was going on.
Submissively, the beautiful woman immediately entered the room of her two twins and led them to the library located not far from their room.
Queen Akemi pulls out a fairy tale book that is on shelf number three from above and suddenly the bookshelf in front of her spins backwards.
"Come in, baby! " Queen Akemi brought her two daughters' sons in and locked the door again.
Meanwhile King Sagar was still in his room trying to think of a way out. Right now he can't trust anyone. The intruders could disguise themselves as anyone.
"If the fairies were here... Eldrige, can you come over here? " Whisper King Sagar while looking down.

In the middle of the night, Queen Elok wakes up after having a nightmare about her sister. Somehow his hunch said that his sister was having a hard time.
"What's wrong, honey? " King Gaurav awoke to feel his wife's movements.
"I had a nightmare about Sagar. I'm worried! " The woman's pretty face looked tense.
"It was just a dream, baby. Sagar is a king. Around him were thousands of guards who were always ready to protect him." King Gaurav tried to calm his wife.
"But, my hunch says that Sagar is in danger." Obviously anxiety has taken hold of Queen Elok.
"Alright, if you're so anxious. Right now I'm going to order one of the fairies to check on her." King Gaurav kissed his wife's forehead before leaving.
King Gaurav went to summon one of the fairies guarding the palace.
"Rowen, please check the state of King Sagar at the palace of Alsatia and inform me!" King Gaurav orders a red-haired young girl.
"Okay, Your Majesty! " Rowen immediately tore through the air and went to the Alsatian palace through the dimensional hole.
The girl came out of the dimensional hole right in front of King Sagar's room. Without hesitation, the young elf knocked on the door of the room.
Soon the door was opened by a handsome and handsome young man.
"Good night, Your Majesty! "
"Good night, who are you? " Tell King Sagar.
"I am Rowen, the fairy assigned to Watu Ijo's palace. King Gaurav ordered me to check on His Majesty's circumstances."
"You happened to come, I'm so grateful! " King Sagar who looked pale now began to calm down.
"Come in! " King Sagar went into his room followed by Rowena.
"Please take me to see King Gaurav! " Pinta the ruler of Alsatia.
"Okay, Your Majesty! " Rowen immediately brought King Sagar to meet King Gaurav at Watu Ijo's palace.
When they came out of the dimensional hole, King Gaurav looked startled.
"I didn't think you'd be here, sister-in-law!" King Gaurav hugged King Sagar.
"There's something important I need to talk to you about! " Said King Sagar.
"What's wrong? "
King Sagar immediately recounted the circumstances that were going on in his palace. Also about his wife and son who are now hiding in a secret room.
"We have to pick them up soon." King Gaurav looks worried.
"Rowen, can you bring Queen Akemi and her two children here? Also, please call Eldrige to come see me soon! " The Commandment of King Gaurav.
"Okay, Your Majesty! "

Eldrige is currently patrolling around the dormitory. He raised his vigilance after hearing the news of the Daemonies' increasingly troubling appearance.
While walking under Princess Juwita's room, Eldrige wanted to see the girl. But suddenly he felt a telepathic call from a fairy.
"Eldrieg. I'm Rowen, the fairy who stands guard at Watu Ijo's palace. King Gaurav ordered that you come face to face now! "
As Eldrige got ready to open the dimensional hole, he recalled back to Princess Juwita. For a moment he looked up, towards the darkened window of Princess Juwita's room.
He doubted whether to say goodbye to the girl or not. But he did not know how long he would be gone, so Eldrige decided to go to his lover.
With agile and noiseless movements, Eldrige leaped upwards with two rounds in the air. His hand then grabbed the edge of the window very easily. And with a single flick, the window of the room was instantly open.
Eldrige immediately jumped up and then crouched down on the edge of the window. There he observed the dim atmosphere of the room.
The two girls in the room were sleeping. Eldrige then stepped towards Princess Juwita's bed without making a sound. The man lowered his head with a soft look of eyes filled with longing, observing the beautiful face of his lover.
That girl looks so pretty. His thick curled eyelashes occasionally trembled and made him look even more adorable.
Slowly touched the closed eyelids with the tip of his finger, then he brought his face closer and kissed it gently.
"I want to be the first person you always see when you open your eyes. And I also want to be the last person you see every time you close your eyes." Eldrige said softly with a subtle sigh in his chest.
It felt like Eldrige wanted to linger observing the girl. But he has no time anymore. Finally he stole a lightning kiss on Princess Juwita's lips before finally leaving.
After being outside, Eldrige immediately opened the dimensional hole and went to meet King Gaurav.
"Thank you for coming, Eldrige. Alsatian Palace is in trouble." Said King Sagar.
It also coincided with the arrival of Rowen along with Queen Akemi and the two twins the successor of the Kingdom of Alsatia.
"Dad! " The two children cried while running to King Sagar.
"Thank God you're safe! " King Sagar was relieved to hug the two beautiful children.
"Kids, come with aunty to your room? " Suddenly the Queen of Eloquence appeared with two servants.
"Come kids! " Queen Akemi stretched out her two hands, the twins immediately grabbed her mother's hand and walked in following their aunt.
After that Eldrige sat before the two kings. They looked at him seriously.
"We need your help! " Said King Gaurav.
*****
Princess Juwita has started attending school for a few days. The girl studied without passion as she had not met Eldrige since the man had saved her from the slave auction.
His mind was now filled with anxiety from not hearing from the man. So that he did not listen to Ms. Irma's explanation in front of the class. Princess Juwita really felt the last lesson of the day was very boring.
Princess Juwita's gaze was directed out the window on her right, looking at the white clouds clumping in the blue sky.
The girl imagined Eldrige looking at her among the clouds. The girl's lips were smiling and her cheeks were red.
"Jewith! " Someone poked his arm. Princess Juwita turned her head to the side and looked at Ningrum's face.
"You daydreaming? " Ningrum looked at him as if he caught her wet self who was fantasizing a no-no.
"What's wrong? " Task Princess Juwita and feel a bit embarrassed.
"Class is done! You don't want to go home? "
In a daze Princess Juwita circulated her gaze throughout the silent classroom.
"Come on! " Ningrum's hand pulled Princess Juwita's arm.
Princess Juwita walked following Ningrum obediently. They walked out of the school building towards the dormitory. By the time they reached the front of the room, they suddenly saw Miss Sekar coming.
"Good day, Miss Sekar! " Who are they.
"Good afternoon. Eat soon, after you eat come to my office! " After saying that Miss Sekar immediately left.
Princess Juwita and Ningrum looked at each other for not understanding why they were called to the office.
After changing clothes, the two girls went to the dining room and finished their lunch quickly. They did not want Miss Sekar to wait for them for too long.
"Sit down! " Miss Sekar's orders when they've been inside his office.
The two girls immediately sat in front of Miss Sekar. The woman was silent for a moment while looking at the two girls before her.
"You must be curious about Sari and the other two girls."
Princess Juwita and Ningrum looked at Miss Sekar. They were indeed curious about Sari's news now. But they were rather shocked when Miss Sekar also mentioned about Sapna and Ratri.
"Are Sapna and Ratri too..? " Princess Juwita's sentence wasn't finished because the girl was too shocked.
"They're both not involved in your abduction, but they know it and they choose silence." Miss Sekar's explanation adds to the heartache of the two girls.
"Why? " Daughter Juwita's voice shook and her eyes glazed over.
Miss Sekar did not answer that question. He just sat quietly and watched the reaction of the two girls in front of him.
"I just want to say that they've been expelled from school. Right now they're waiting to be picked up by each other's families."
"Can we meet? " The question that slid from Princess Juwita's lips certainly made Miss Sekar shocked. Even Ningrum.
"Jewith! " Ningrum Protest.
"I just want to know their reasons. Aren't you curious? " Princess Juwita looked at Ningrum's face.
"Yes, I'm actually also curious like you. But I don't think it's any good."
"alright. Miss Sekar, let me meet them! " Princess Juwita asked once more.
"good. Follow me! " Miss Sekar stood up and walked out ahead. Princess Juwita walks behind. Some girls who happened to see them, immediately stepped aside and whispered in curiosity.
Miss Sekar stopped in front of a room whose door was locked. The woman then opened it and told Princess Juwita to come in.
Princess Juwita took a deep breath before deciding to step forward. When the girl finally went inside, her gaze immediately fell on the three girls sitting with pale faces.
"Juwita Princess! "
The girl gasped as soon as her name was called in full with her peerage.
