Queen Without Crown

Chapter 126 Falling

Shuuu...

Princess Juwita's body slid down very quickly. Both of his hands extended upwards with his back body. His hair was fluttering like a flame that was being blown by the wind.

Eldrige slid over the girl. He moved his arm downwards with all his might to grab Princess Juwita's hand before the girl hit the ground.

Bugh.

When he almost touched it, Eldrige's body hit a rock that protruded on the cliff wall. His body was blown in the air.

Throat's choked. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the girl's body slide down further.

Boom!

Crick.

The sound of falling objects and the sound of crushed bones echoed from the bottom of the abyss. The fishy smell of blood penetrates into the sense of smell.

Eldrige's horse, which had the heaviest weight among them, had slid first to the ground. The beast's body was torn apart and its blood splashed in all directions. The horse fluttered for a while and remained motionless.

Eldrige's heart instantly melted. She was afraid Princess Juwita would get her next turn. With trembling hands he reached to his waist and pulled his whip. He quickly threw his whip, trying to catch the girl's body.

The whip lit up in the darkness and swirled closer to Princess Juwita's body. As soon as the whip managed to lock him up, Eldrige immediately pulled him. The entangled body of Princess Juwita is now pulled upwards.

Eldrige's feet immediately kicked against the cliff wall, his body swirling in the air while holding Princess Juwita's body safe in the winding of her whip.

They glide slowly and in control. The air feels cooler. Slowly the girl opened her eyes and was surprised.

"Yeah! " Daughter Juwita shouted loudly. His moving body suddenly made the whip that twisted his body shake and detach.

"Yeah! " The girl went back to freefall.

Eldrige immediately pulled out his whip and threw it towards the surrounding stones. The tip of the whip managed to twist a stone, then Eldrige swung down to catch the body of Princess Juwita.

Swiiing..... Grep's!

"I caught you." Her speech. Eldrige swung while hugging the girl's body.

Their bodies were now hanging about ten meters above the ground. Princess Juwita hugged Eldrige's body tightly.

"Eldrige, why are you here?" The girl was confused. He circulated his gaze in all directions and still could not guess what place it was.

"Where are we? What.. are we dead?"

"Then we are in heaven." Eldrige stared softly into Princess Juwita's eyes.

Princess Juwita became misbehaved because it was looked at like that. He squeezed out Eldrige's clothes, yet he felt his palms go sticky and wet. He pulled out his hand and saw the blood on his palm.

"You're hurt, Eldrige? " The girl was scared.

"Small injuries only. " Eldrige smiled. His feelings were very relieved because Princess Juwita survived.

Eldrige's hand holding on to his whip became tingling and numb for a long time. The pain from the wound on his back was now spreading and his body was trembling.

"Eldrige, are you okay? " Princess Juwita realizes something is wrong with Eldrige.

"I don't know, Juwita. I'm not usually like this. " Answer Eldrige.

Princess Juwita felt Eldrige's body temperature rise. "You're feverish. "

"Fever? " Eldrige is confused. He never had a fever. But now he felt cold and his body shivered.

"Eldrie? " Daughter Juwita grew anxious about Eldrige's condition.

"I'm okay, don't worry. Hold this whip, Juwita. Hold on tight! " Eldrige's orders in a weak voice.

Princess Juwita obeyed Eldrige's orders, she clasped tightly onto the golden flaming whip.

"I've held it. " Said Princess Juwita.

"Good." Said Eldrige.His body was sweating and was no longer strong enough to hold the weight of both of them.

Shuuu...

Eldrige's body suddenly slumped and slid down.

"Eldrie! " Shouted Princess Juwita in panic.

Bruk!

Eldrige's body fell to the ground. Princess Juwita could not see the man's movements.

"Eldrie! " Princess Juwita was swinging in the air while screaming hysterically.

Eldrige, don't die..

*****

King Satria heard reports that Eldrige had taken Princess Juwita away during the execution. The man smiled.

"Eldrige kept his promise. " She said in relief.

Prince Awang came with some soldiers.

"King Satria, I wonder if you have anything to do with the escape of the prisoner who will be put to death this afternoon? "

"You locked me up here. And you still accuse me ? " King Satria stared intently at Prince Awang.

"The problem is, the fairy who is always with you is doing it." Prince Awang said in an accusatory tone.

"What if we do some research? " Prince Awang proposes.

"Then my daughter's case is also re-investigated. I don't mind at all." Challenge King Satria.

"Huh, the case is closed."

"Then I have no more business here. I'll go now and don't try to get in my way! " King Satria flicked his robe and stepped away leaving Prince Awang who was standing at a loss for words.

"Blognal! " Prince Awang growled furiously. The veins around his face were protruding.

King Satria mounted his horse followed by some of his soldiers who deliberately accompanied him during the trial period.

*****

Princess Juwita swung her body to reach the rocks on the cliff wall. As her hand managed to reach for the slightly wide rock, the girl jumped up and held tight to the stone.

Slowly the girl crept down. When looking down he felt bad. Legs trembling. Occasionally his footing missed and caused small stones to scatter downwards.

"I should be able to. " Relatedly.

After a struggle that was quite draining his energy finally his feet were tracking the ground. After taking a deep breath, the girl moved heartily in search of Eldrige.

"Yeah! "

Princess Juwita shouted in surprise. His feet hit an immobile body. Something stuck to his feet. Although he could not see in the dark, he knew it was blood.

Princess Juwita immediately crouched down and fumbled around. He touched something smooth like velvet but in some parts it felt soft and sticky.

The girl was trying to control her heart rhythm. He had to ascertain what lay before him now. He ventured to scour the body and finally made sure that it was the body of the horse.

"Huh." Princess Juwita breathed a sigh of relief.

He then walked back and thought about where Eldrige had fallen. In the darkness, he faintly saw something white.

Princess Juwita ran over but her feet tripped over the bush until her body fell down. His hand felt sore stuck some small pebbles.

When he looked up, his face was right in front of someone's body.

"Eldrie? " His hand fumbled at the figure in front of him. He was convinced that it was Eldrige.

Princess Juwita hugged Eldrige's body. His hand went down the man's face and felt a sticky liquid at the temple. The girl then placed her index finger under Eldrige's nose to make sure she was still breathing.

"Eldrige." Princess Juwita cried after feeling her breath. He really felt helpless.

Circumstances began to ripple with the sounds of insects and night animals. Princess Juwita was very afraid that there was a wild beast coming because it smelled blood.

"Lord, help us. " The request sincerely.

Suddenly a light was seen up there. The light slowly came down. There was a silhouette of someone jumping down and when it came to where Eldrige's whip hung, the person picked it up.

"Who? " Task Princess Juwita when the person is already down and walking over.

"Hmm, I thought it would be like this. " Said the man while shining his lantern on Princess Juwita.

"Miss Sekar? " Daughter Juwita was surprised to find out that the one who came was Miss Sekar.

"Eldrige's hurt. " Miss Sekar crouched down while inspecting Eldrige.

"Help us. " Daughter Juwita pleaded.

"Eldrige will die if not immediately helped." Said Princess Juwita.

"I beg you, help him. "

"I'll help him as long as you want to do my wish." The woman stared intently at Princess Juwita.

"I will do anything to keep Eldrige safe. " Say the girl meant it.

"Good! " Miss Sekar immediately lifted Eldrige's body and wiped it.

When Princess Juwita walked up to her, Miss Sekar stopped her steps.

"Don't approach Eldrige again. "

"What's? "

"If you want Eldrige to survive, never approach Eldrige again! "

"But why? " Task the girl who doesn't understand.

"Givers should not fall in love with humans. He will be weak and die. So stay away from Eldrige. As much as possible, don't let them see you again. Can you promise? "

"I. i.. "

"Please promise me or I'll let Eldrige die here. " Take the woman.

"Don't! Please save Eldrige. I promise I won't go near Eldrige again. "

"If you can disappear. Eldrige would have been desperate to find you if he had realized. You see for yourself his body is now weak. It's all because of you. "

"good. I'll go and disappear. I promise no one will ever hear about me again. " Say the girl with tears in her eyes.

"good. I left these lanterns here just in case of a beast. " After saying so Miss Sekar jumped up while carrying Eldrige's body.

Princess Juwita looked up despite not being able to see anything. His heart felt empty. Everything was taken from his life. Now he's completely alone.
