Queen Without Crown

Chapter 111 Refugees

King Satria looked at the two men impatiently.

"Juwita, I need Eldrige now. You can meet him again when our business is done. Come on, hurry up Eldrige! " Call King Satria again.

"Okay, Your Majesty! " Eldrige looked back at Princess Juwita for a moment, as if unwilling to leave the girl. Then with a heavy heart, he stepped following King Satria.

Princess Juwita looked at the departure of the two men she loved until they disappeared behind the door. The girl was still standing there for a while before finally ascending to her room with a thumping chest. He still could not believe it when he remembered Eldrige's words earlier. The man said he would marry her.

The girl did not realize her lips were smiling continuously even after she lay down under her blanket. He continued to imagine Eldrige's face and could not forget the comfortable feeling when the man hugged her earlier.

"Eldrige." The girl muttered the name of her lover. For him the name Eldrige is the most beautiful name in the world. Drowsiness began to attack him and his eyes were now closed.

When the girl started to fall asleep, suddenly there was a rumbling sound and the window glass started to shake. The bed the girl was sleeping in also creaked.

"earthquake! the earthquake! " A loud shout woke up the whole hostel.

Princess Juwita woke up when she had just fallen asleep. Before she was fully conscious, the girl felt a stranglehold on her hand and she also felt her body being dragged out.

"Come fast, Juwita! " Ningrum's voice echoed in his ears.

As if in a dream, Princess Juwita saw a commotion around her. In his eyes, the girls were running around in slow motion movements.

His footsteps faltered as the shaking still occurred. The wooden floor he was treading shook and rattled as if it would soon be detached from its stake.

The chandelier above wobbled and made a clattering sound as the crystals collided. Dust falling from the ceiling makes the atmosphere more gloomy and obscure the view.

"Quick! " Ningrum despite being somewhat overweight, but his strength was strong enough to drag his friend out of the dorm.

The earthquake is still going on. On the lawn, all the residents of the dorm stood up in panic. Some girls were seen hugging each other and crying.

Bru!!

Amidst the darkness of the night, they all watched the dormitory building and the school building slowly collapsing. The vibrations make the earth shake.

The dust that flew from the direction of the buildings resembled a thick haze. Everyone is reflexively covering their face for fear of small particles flying it interfere with breathing and make the eyes twinkle.

Klao!

Suddenly they were startled by the sound of bells in the tower of the school building that were thrown.

Swing..

"Yeah...!!"

Everyone screamed when they saw the large bell drifting towards them.

Shuuut...

Suddenly the bell seemed to bounce in the air as if it hit something. Even now it finally drifted in reverse direction.

Buuum!!

The bell fell to the ground with a loud noise. Because the bell was so large and heavy, it had sped nearly half a meter into the ground.

"Aaaah! " The girls were screaming hysterically at him.

Without them noticing at that moment Miss Sekar was moving her finger in the air and her fingertips were emitting a soft blue radiance. The beam slowly formed a transparent blue-colored magical shield.

Everyone there was shocked when they realized the appearance of a transparent shield covering them.

"Don't panic, you're safe now! " Miss Sekar's voice sounded calm, the woman was the only person who did not enter inside the shield. He now walked towards the dormitory building to check on the situation there.

The woman's face looked serious. He found an oddity. There were strange traces on the ground like excavation marks that extended around the dormitory building.

Miss Sekar is now inspecting the school building, there is also a former excavation. The woman then shook her finger. Suddenly there was a vortex of wind hitting the empty air in front of him. The empty air strangely formed a human figure. It was as if an invisible person was standing before Miss Sekar.

"Show me your form! " Shouted Miss Sekar among the rumbling sounds of the wind. He realized that the earthquake that occurred in that place was the work of that person.

But someone in front of him seemed reluctant to show his form. Even now there is a resistance made by the invisible man. The wind vortex that was sourced from Miss Sekar's fingertips now seemed to be pushed back.

Everyone who was inside the magical shield felt anxious. They were worried that Miss Sekar was getting desperate. Although they did not feel the effects or shocks of their fight, the fierce power struggle both looked very tense.

Miss Sekar's hair that had been rolled neatly is now scattered and fluttering. Her long dress was as if a ship sails in a storm in the middle of the ocean. And the woman's entire body trembled as it exerted all its energy against that invisible enemy.

I have to finish this fight. Who knows if this Daemonie horde will be here later..

Miss Sekar is now increasing her strength. His face looked stiff and his veins looked like tree roots. The gust of wind from his finger grew louder until it finally blew away his fighting opponent.

Braakk!

The loud sound of the collision broke the silence of the night. The ruins of the dormitory building were seen scattering into the air. The dust flew back.

Miss Sekar hastily came to where her enemy had just crashed. There was a man drooping weakly with blood spewing. His body was full of dust.

" Uhuk.. uhuk.. uhuk! " The man coughed while pressing on his chest.

"Who are you? " Ask Miss Sekar.

"Haha.. Don't be a big little fairy head. Soon you'll be bending your knees under my feet. And those noble girls will be very entertaining slaves!" The man grinned with red teeth because of his blood.

Without replying, Miss Sekar immediately incapacitated the man by throwing a long-distance slap. The man immediately collapsed unconscious.

Miss Sekar then closed her eyes and concentrated on telepathy.

"Eldrige, dormitory attacked. I'll take everyone to the Alsatian palace. Is it safe there ? "

" So, is everything safe? "

"Yes, everyone's safe. I have to take them away, I'm afraid that the Daemonies will come to attack. My powers are not against them."

"Bring to the palace. There's a fairy who'll help you there. Sorry at this time I can't come because the Elfian needs me too. "

"It's okay, Eldrige. "

"Please.Protect Princess Juwita ! "

Telepathic contact was cut off. His heart seemed to be scratched with a dagger from hearing Eldrige's last words. And the wound was sore and dripping with blood.

Miss Sekar returned to the group of people who were inside her magical shield. He opened the shield and tore through the air and tore it to open the dimensional hole.

"Enter all, we will go to the Palace of Alsatia! " His orders with a cold-sounding voice.

Everyone flocked into the dimensional hole. When Princess Juwita stepped in, Miss Sekar suddenly blocked her arm.

The girl looked at the woman. Her beautiful and innocent face seemed to shine in the darkness.

"What's Miss Sekar? " Task the girl gently.

Miss Sekar's lips are wrinkled. His heart was eager to prevent the girl from following him. Jealousy burns his soul.

"Thank God you're safe, Princess. " His words are contrary to his heart.

"Thank you, Miss Sekar. " The girl smiled. The smile of a young girl capable of melting frozen chunks of ice.

Raja Sagar immediately prepared a place for the students and staff of the Griya Pitutur School. The rooms are located in a small palace building which is actually a concubine's guesthouse. But since King Sagar had no concubines, the place was empty for many years but maintained.

King Sagar checked himself in as his staff prepared the place. He wanted his guests to feel at ease, especially his nephew.

"I'm glad you survived, Juwita. Later if your aunt comes she'll be very happy."

"Is Aunt Akemi away? "

"Your aunt and two cousins are in Watu Ijo Kingdom. "

"Oh, so? "

"But now that you're here, uncle will immediately send them home. "

They talked intimately as if forgetting to keep the relationship between them in front of friends Princess Juwita. The girls who saw the proximity of King Sagar and Princess Juwita felt strange. They began to wonder who the girl really was.

"Ehm, Uncle. I think I should go back to my friends. I don't want them to think that I'm using Uncle's kindness."

"You shouldn't worry about that, you're not my own nephew? " The man in his early thirties was somewhat confused by his nephew's remark.

"Regulations in schools forbid students to use the title of nobility. So I refuse to be treated special."

King Sagar nodded. Apparently this young girl in front of him really had a humble nature.

"Alright, forgive uncle if it makes you feel uncomfortable. "

"No Uncle. Uncle Sagar is very kind and I really appreciate it. But I don't want it to reach my friends.. "

"Enough, uncle understands. You don't have to explain anymore. I hope you feel comfortable in this palace even without special treatment." King Sagar smiled broadly as he stroked the girl's head. But when he saw the several pairs of eyes that were secretly watching them, the man quickly withdrew his hand.

"Uncle go first, if you need anything, don't bother."

"Thank you, Uncle." The girl smiled and looked at the departure of her father's cousin.

Princess Juwita rejoins her friends. The girl got a beautiful room with lots of windows. There are two medium-sized beds for four people.

"You know King Sagar? " Task Ningrum while they were both inside the room.

Princess Juwita was a bit hesitant to come clean to Ningrum. But given the girl's sincerity and loyalty, Princess Juwita finally decided to tell the truth.

"King Sagar is my uncle. He's my father's cousin. "

Ningrum was shocked to hear his best friend's confession. He did not expect that the simple girl who slept with him every day was the nephew of the king of this land.

"So your father was..? "

"My father is the Satrian King of the Elfian Kingdom." The words of Princess Juwita next made Ningrum even more amazed.

"That means you're a Princess? "

"Sstt.. Don't be so hard, Ningrum. I don't want anyone to know. I want to be treated like you."

"Okay, Princess! "

"Ningrum! " Princess Juwita pinched the cheek of her friend's kingpin with anxiety.

They laughed together as if forgetting the terrible event they had just experienced. When two girls came to occupy the other bed, they stopped giggling.

"Juwita, do you look familiar with King Sagar? " Task a girl named Rinai.

"King Sagar? " Task Princess Juwita pretending not to know.

"Aren't you aware that the person you were talking to was King Sagar? " Rinai was amazed by the stupidity of her friend.

"Sorry I don't know. I thought he was the palace staff." Princess Juwita shook her head.

"It's so stupid of you, Juwita. Fortunately, the king was not angry! " Ayu, the other girl growled as if in disbelief.

Princess Juwita's face looked so innocent that her friends believed that the girl really did not know.

After turning off the lighting in the room, the four of them closed their eyes.

After breakfast the girls gather in the cool and beautiful courtyard of the palace. They enjoy a pleasant morning atmosphere.

Due to the current emergency, while the learning activities are not held. The girls were a little grateful for that.

As they were enjoying the leisure time, suddenly they saw a group of young men their age walking down the corridor of the palace opposite the building they occupied. The young men looked like sons of nobles.

"Who are they? " The girls started whispering while giggling.

They grew even happier when some of the young man threw a smile at them.

Princess Juwita who just happened to come out of the building and walked into the courtyard unintentionally also looked towards the young men. It was unexpected that he saw the familiar look of the face between them.

At the moment when the girl was staring towards the young man, suddenly the person turned to her. Their gaze locked and caused a subtle pounding on the chest of the girl.

"Cannot be. I don't like it! " Murm Princess Juwita while turning her face away.

It was unexpected that the young man immediately left his entourage and walked across the courtyard. It made the girls suffocate hysterically because the young man looked so handsome. His figure truly resembled the image of a handsome prince.

"Mr Princess, I'm so glad we're seeing you again! " The young man said as he looked at Princess Juwita.

It seemed like his disguise all along had to be exposed now thanks to the young man.

Princess Juwita looked at the handsome face before her somewhat irritatedly. The sigh he had felt earlier vanished without a trace.

"How are you, Prince Ryota? " Remain politely.

The girls who saw him had a heart attack. They did not expect that his friend knew the young man who turned out to be really a prince.

"My news has never been so good as to be able to meet you, Princess Juwita." The man's words made the whole girl melt, but not for the girl before him.

"I'm so honored to hear that. But I'm sorry, don't you care if you're separated from the group? "

Prince Ryota who had just realized that his entourage had already disappeared at the end of the corridor immediately chuckled softly.

"Yes, I have to go now. But I'll see you later." The young man intended to grab Princess Juwita's hand but the girl quickly dodged.

Although somewhat disappointed but the young man still developed a smile. He thought maybe the girl was embarrassed because there were her friends.

"I'll go first, Princess! " The young man bowed respectfully before leaving following his entourage.

When Prince Ryota had left, Princess Juwita only realized the gaze of her friends were on her.

But suddenly there was someone pulling his arm and dragging him away.
