Queen Without Crown

Chapter 110 The Heats Up Situation

King Sagar rode on his horse which had dark brown and shiny hair. Two of his personal guards, Timur and Diarto, followed behind.

They rode towards the small hill behind the palace, the route the king used to take when he was tired. As he used to do, King Sagar stopped at a small lake at the foot of the hill to give his horse a drink while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.

King Sagar sat on a fallen tree watching the glittering waters of the lake as if unaware of the danger that was coming behind him.

The two personal guards looked at each other then nodded. They approached King Sagar with slow steps, each of the guards wielding a sword.

Without warning, the two men slashed their swords at King Sagar's body.

Trang!

The sound of metal clashing resounded in the air. The two bodyguards were shocked when King Sagar suddenly turned around while swinging his sword, fending off their attacks.

"It turns out you're watching too. " The sneering smile of his bodyguard that immediately turned into two pale-looking young men.

"You don't look surprised, you seem to have noticed? "

"It is not difficult for me to realize the presence of the Daemonies. Your foul smell is very disturbing my smell."

"Bad! " The two men attacked King Sagar simultaneously and tried to push the Alsatian leader to the shore of the lake.

But unexpectedly, the young King was able to convolve and retaliate against their attacks. The man since childhood was forged and educated to become a leader in the future. Therefore he also had great fighting ability.

It did not take long, King Sagar managed to turn things around. Now he went ahead and urged both of his attackers. He had even managed to etch the tip of his sword on their bodies.

But both do not want to give up. They keep putting up a fight. Jump each other and look for the opponent's weak points.

The horses that they moored near the well neighed at their fear.they kicked around wanting to untie them.

King Sagar immediately slashed the reins and freed his horse. The beast galloped away leaving its master.

Kaaaack!

The sound of birds screeching sounded shrill in the air. Wind gusts stormed like a big fan flutter so as to make the grasses duck and blunt.

King Sagar looked up and saw a large black bird flying in circles over him. Without thinking, King Sagar can guess what a bird is.

Both of his attackers smiled mockingly. They feel in the wind.

"Give up now, maybe your life will be forgiven! "

"Don't dream! " King Sagar attacked again. The man now not only faces two Daemonies but also has to dodge an attack from the air.

Although King Sagar's fighting ability need not be doubted, but facing two Daemonies plus a Strix demon bird who is after his life he ends up becoming overwhelmed.

Several times the bird stuck his nails on King Sagar's back and tore them apart. While his two opponents happily add sword scratches to his body repeatedly. The body of King Sagar is now covered in blood.

The giant blackbird seemed impatient to enjoy the blood that emanated from the body of King Sagar and seduced his sense of smell. The bird immediately swooped towards King Sagar. Shortly before the bird touched King Sagar's body, the creature transformed into a pale-skinned young man.

The man's hand immediately gripped King Sagar's shoulder and his mouth grinned. A pair of sparkling sharp fangs ready to take the life of King Sagar. With a quick movement the man's head lowered towards King Sagar's neck.

Craass..

Bugh!

A splash of blood spurts into the air like a water hose from a tear in the neck. And the headless body collapsed on the grass which was now red inundated by blood.

A head rolled down leaving a trail of blood on the grass and ended up into the well.

Byurs!

The head goes into the clear water then re-emerges to the surface, floating on the water that begins to turn red.

"Honey, stop pacing around like that!" King Gaurav rebuked his agitated wife.

"I don't agree if Sagar should go back to his palace. You should have prevented it! " The woman's face looks very pale.

"Sagar isn't a kid anymore, Elok. He is a leader who has responsibility for his people."

"I know, but we don't know who the enemy Sagar has to face. Aaah.I can't calm down and keep thinking about my sister! "

King Gaurav approached his wife and hugged her back to calm her down. Queen Elok closed her eyes and wished her husband's words were right.

Suddenly a Royal Staff came and reported someone's arrival. Queen Elok immediately let go of her husband's embrace and walked out of the room unwilling to interfere in her husband's affairs.

A man from the fairy nation came to face.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The elf showed his respect.

"Say what's wrong?" Ask King Gaurav without further ado.

"I came to report that last night the palace of the Angsana Kingdom had been attacked by the Daemonie group! "

"What about the Full King? "

"King Purnama was saved by the fairies but now the Angsana palace has been controlled by the Daemonies! "

"Bad! " King Gaurav shouted furiously. He thinks hard. The thing he was worried about right now was the possibility of those Daemonies attacking his territory, or even his palace.

"What about Nord, Elfian and Alsatian?" King Gaurav asked with a huff, his hand gripping the edge of the chair to support his body that was trembling furiously.

"It is likely that Nord will soon be conquered because attacks continue in their territory. As for Alsatians and Elfians, I haven't gotten word."

"Please call them immediately, especially Alsatians. Please tell me again soon! "

The elf immediately went to carry out the orders of King Gaurav. King Gaurav himself immediately ordered all his soldiers to increase the guard.

"Global war seems inevitable." Mumbled.

*****

Eldrige wiped the edges of his blood-soaked sword. The man's face remained calm even though in front of him the corpses were strewn with a rancid aroma.

"Thank God you came in time to save me, Eldrige! " King Sagar wiped his face with a splash of blood with a handkerchief.

"Thank you to your horse who returned to the palace and made a scene." Eldrige returned with his sword.

"I was thinking that I was going to die." King Sagar raised his head with a somewhat shaken feeling.

Still a shadow in his memory of the incident just moments ago when the man who was gripping him had prepared to tear his neck. But suddenly the man's head rolled down past his feet and his stumped body collapsed right in front of him.

In front of him, Eldrige had been standing with a drawn sword. Thick blood dripped from the flat metal in his hand.

Shortly afterwards, King Sagar seemed to be fixated on watching the fairy swing her sword, attacking the two Daemonies earlier. When they started to push, they then changed into a large dog-headed creature.

In their present form, both of them gained energy multiplied. They began to attack Eldrige brutally. They use the instinct of a wild beast typical of the Daemonie nation.

Eldrige twitched to avoid the attack of their sharp nails that were ready to tear his enemy apart. The elf jumped around while occasionally releasing punches and kicks towards the creatures.

"Let's go back to the palace, Your Majesty!" Eldrige's cry resuscitated King Sagar's reverie. The fairy then took King Sagar into the dimensional hole.

*****

Several servants came to clean King Sagar's wounds and change his clothes. Shortly thereafter came a palace physician named Bagio to treat him.

Eldrige watched the physician who was treating King Sagar. He met her as soon as the healer was done.

"Did your daughter go to school in Griya Pitutur? "

"How did you know?" The doctor was astonished.

"I met your daughter there, she was Princess Juwita's roommate."

"Puteri Juwita of the Kingdom of Alsatia? " The physician's eyes widened in surprise.

"true." Eldrige nodded.

"It's an honor because my son could be a friend of King Sagar's nephew!" Tabib Bagio was pleased.

"Ningrum is a good girl. Princess Juwita is so lucky to have a friend like your daughter! " The praise was sincere from Eldrige's heart.

"really? " The physician almost cried with pride at the praise he had given to his daughter.

"Stay loyal to King Sagar, no matter what! " Eldrige reminded.

"I will always be loyal to King Sagar!" The physician said solemnly. After saying that, the physician Bagio left the room.

"Two fairies have stood guard in the palace. They'll recognize the Daemonies in disguise." Eldrige stood looking at King Sagar lying down.

"Thank you, Eldrige." King Sagar looks weak on his bed.

"I'm going to go protect the school." Eldrige said goodbye to King Sagar.

"Go Eldrige, protect the girls. Especially my niece, Princess Juwita."

"I will bet my life for the safety of Princess Juwita." There was a strange glint in his red eyes as Eldrige said that

"I believe in you. That girl depends on you so much, obviously if she loves you so much." King Sagar chuckled softly.

Eldrige smiled as he held the thump in his chest. "I love him too much."

*****

The sound of noisy footsteps in the corridor began to dissipate ahead of the curfew bells ringing. The bedroom occupied by Princess Juwita is now also dark. The candle flame covered glass syringe had blown Ningrum before the girl slept.

Princess Juwita is now standing by a window overlooking a grassy courtyard lined by trees. Half moon in the sky, its shadow reflected on the windows of the dorm building.

Teng... teng...teng..

The atmosphere is getting quieter. No more giggling voices of girls or their whispering chatter.

Tok..

The sound of a slick knock shocked the girl. Princess Juwita hurriedly walked across the room and opened the door. Instantly his face glimmered as he recognized who was in front of him now.

"Dad?" The girl shrieked stifled and instantly hit the towering body in front of her.

"You all right, honey? " Ask King Satria.

The girl nodded in her father's arms. Princess Juwita just realized that she misses him so much that it feels like crying. King Satria felt his daughter's body tremble in his arms and realized how fragile the girl felt.

"Let's have a chat downstairs! " King Satria led his daughter who was still struggling to embrace him.

While descending the stairs, Princess Juwita saw several people had gathered on the bright first floor. He saw Eldrige being among them. The man stared at her unblinkingly from where she was standing next to Miss Sekar.

There was a sudden dislike in Princess Juwita's heart seeing how close the two were. Although the girl actually missed Eldrige so much because she had not seen him for a few days, she decided to pretend not to see him.

King Satria sat in a chair next to his daughter. All around him were Eldrige, Miss Sekar, Faye and King Pelvis. They were talking about a matter that Princess Juwita did not understand. Occasionally the girl glanced at Eldrige who was secretly looking at her. But the girl still did not want to see him.

"Alright, then I'll go home now." Said King Satria while stroking his daughter's hair. They all stood when King Satria said goodbye.

"I put my daughter to you. It seems like Eldrige can no longer be here because we at Elfian need him. In exchange there will be Faye with you. But not now, maybe for the next few days. " The words of King Satria made Eldrige and Princess Juwita look at each other.

Meanwhile Miss Sekar smiled at King Satria. "Thank you, Your Majesty! " Said Miss Sekar.

"Juwita, I'm going home first. Take good care of yourself! " King Satria looked down at his daughter.

"Yes dad, say my regards to mom." Princess Juwita clasped her father's neck and kissed his cheek.

"Come Eldrige, we're going home now! " King Satria immediately walked towards the front door followed by Miss Sekar, King Pelvis and Faye. Meanwhile Eldrige was still standing in his place while staring at Princess Juwita.

"Juwita, i.. " Eldrige didn't know what to say because she saw the girl who looked like she was angry with him.

"Get's Eldrige! " Daughter Juwita turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"No! " Suddenly Eldrige hugged the girl's waist from behind.

"What are you doing Eldrige? My father's up ahead, he'll kill you! " Daughter Juwita panicked and tried to escape from Eldrige.

"No, your father can't kill me that easily. Your father will probably bless us anyway." Eldrige tightened his arms and placed his head on the girl's shoulder.

Princess Juwita stops her attempt to escape from Eldrige's embrace. He tried to digest the meaning of the man's words.

"Whatchu mean? " Task Princess Juwita.

"Your father hopes that one day you will marry someone who can protect you like me." Eldrige still remembered the words of King Satria yesterday.

"Eldrige Actually? " At once Princess Juwita forgot her anger.

"Your own father told me." Said Eldrige while inhaling the scent of his lover.

"Then what about you? " The girl was amused from feeling Eldrige's breath on her neck.

"I'll talk to your father after all this is done, I'll ask him for his blessing. I want to marry you." Eldrige's whisper was soft right in his ear.

Princess Juwita was surprised and smiled shyly at Eldrige's words. She could not imagine herself getting married and bearing the title of Lady Eldrige.

"Do you want to marry me, Juwita?" Eldrige asked with his heart pounding.

The girl was silent for a while, she was too nervous and embarrassed to answer him.

"I.. "

"Eldrige, why did you take so long? " A cry has shocked them and made the two break away from each other.

"D-dad? " Nervously Princess Juwita looked at a man standing in front of the door.
