Queen Elok welcomed her husband with enthusiasm. He was expecting his twin nephews. But there was another surprise brought by her husband, namely the arrival of a monk who turned out to be the future king of the Kingdom of Watu Ijo.
"I've heard stories about you, Prince Adya. " Said Queen Elok.
"Call me Shani. " Guru Shani's voice was very calm.
"I'm so grateful that Master Shani saved my niece."
"It's just my duty as a human being." Teacher Shani humbled.
"So you're Queen Gita's sister? " Task the Queen Elok again.
"really. My sister had to bear a heavy burden because as a sister I couldn't protect her." A sense of regret emanated on the man's face as he recalled his sister.
"Don't feel guilty, Queen Gita is a great woman. Her husband loved her too. " The Queen of Elok tried to comfort Master Shani.
"I'm glad to hear that. Only, Gaurav said that his daughter was accused of the murder of King Sagar? "
"true."
"It must be hard for Gita. "
"We'll clear Juwita's name soon. Don'worry. " The Queen smiled.
Teacher Shani nodded. He prayed that the truth would soon be revealed and his lost nephew soon returned to his family.
Queen Elok then went to accompany her two nephews. They look exhausted.
"You go to sleep first. Auntie will be here again when it's meal time. " The Queen of Elok kissed the two boys on the forehead.
When the woman stepped out suddenly a small hand held onto her dress. Queen Elok turned around and saw Princess Wulan sitting looking at him.
"Auntie, don't go! " The little voice sounds sad.
Queen Elok immediately approached the boy. While looking down the woman clasped Princess Wulan's hand.
"Auntie won't leave you. This palace is now your home as well. This place is very safe." Said Queen Elok.
"Can I stay here until I sleep? " The little girl looked at her aunt expectantly.
"All right." The woman sat on the edge of the bed and sang a lullaby. The two boys then closed their eyes and soon a subtle snoring sound was heard along with the breath of the two.
Queen Elok looked at the two children. They were the children of his younger brother who had died at a young age. And now they are driven out of their own kingdom.
Tears fell down the cheeks of the beautiful woman. His regret witnessed the tragic fate that befell them.
"Auntie will fight for justice for you. "

Eldrige fell asleep without realizing it. His sleep has never been good. His new body as a mortal was still in the stage of adjustment.
Princess Juwita walked into the room where Eldrige was being treated to bring food. He looked at the man.
After putting food on the table, the girl walked over. Something has changed from the man but Princess Juwita doesn't know what. But one thing he can still be sure of, the man's love does not change.
The sense of haru infiltrating the chest of Princess Juwita saw the hard efforts of Eldrige to find her. How the figure of the Elfian Kingdom guardian elf was willing to leave everything for her sake.
Princess Juwita bowed to observe Eldrige's face closer. His hand touched the man's face, gently stroking him down the curve of his jaw and stopping above his curved lips like a bow.
"ah! " The girl was suffocating when Eldrige opened his eyes.
As if electrocuted Princess Juwita immediately pulled her hand back but Eldrige's hand immediately grabbed her. Eldrige pulled the girl's body down on her. The girl's heartbeats were chasing her heart rhythm.
"Eldrige, let go of me! " The girl's orders.
Eldrige did not heed the order. His other arm even encircled the girl's waist, confining her in his arms.
Their faces were now facing each other in less than an inch. The girl's warm breath gushed against Eldrige's facial skin whenever she gasped for air.
The girl finally stopped rebelling when she realized her efforts were in vain. Now he was silent in front of Eldrige's gaze. His last attempt was simply to try to raise his head as far away from the man's face as possible.
Not long after that the girl began to feel her neck bone hurt from fatigue supporting the weight of her head. His face gradually began to fall.
Anxiety emanated in his eyes that shaped bay leaves. Her lentic eyelashes were moving uneasily. Eldrige enjoyed it.
Cup.
The girl's lips fell just above Eldrige's. Princess Juwita's eyes were so embarrassed.
"Finally you kissed me first. " Eldrige smiled as the girl turned her face away.
"That's because you cheated." Reply Princess Juwita with annoyance.
"Cheat how? " Tanya Eldrige pretended not to understand.
"You pulled my body and didn't want to take it off. " The girl looked angry.
"I'm just responding to your actions. You touched me first. "
"Yes, check it out. " Eldrige thrusting her face.
"Take me off first. " Daughter Juwita squirms in Eldrige's arms.
"Why? "
"You are still asking. How can I check you out in such a situation? "
"You don't need your hand. This is how it can be. " Eldrige raised her face until their lips touched each other.
"Eldrige, you.. " The girl was already about to scold Eldrige when her words were swallowed back because Eldrige was now kissing her.
With the rest of her consciousness Princess Juwita tried to keep her face away but Eldrige now held her nape. The man tilted his face and deepened his kiss.
Princess Juwita sighed. Between enjoying and rejecting. But Eldrige's charm has crippled his wits. Now he's even returning Eldrige's kiss.
"Eldrie.. " Mover Princess Juwita closed her eyes when their link came off.
"You're mine Juwita." The claim of ownership over the girl made Princess Juwita's chest rustle.
"But I can't, Eldrige. " A spotlight of sadness gushed in the girl's eyes.
"Why? I gave it all up just for you, Juwita. "
"It's all for your own good, Eldrige. " Daughter Juwita releases Eldrige's embrace. Now he sits on the bed, covering his face.
"Tell me the reason! " Eldrige could not accept that rejection.
"I promised Miss Sekar to stay away from you in exchange for her saving your life. "

Since the departure of the princesses to the village of Kulm, several things have happened in the palace. King Badre has sent several invitations to the nobles in the Kingdom of Dewanata and surrounding areas to follow the competition to find a husband for Princess Pertiwi.
Therefore, the magnificent palace began to improve to welcome invited guests. Guest rooms are prepared. Of course, do not forget the shamans and necromancers were brought in so that the event could take place successfully.
Prince Awang who was secretly looking for a shaman to help him, several times felt disappointed because he only got his words sweet without proof.
"I don't want a prophecy, I want real proof! " Shouted the man after expelling one of the shamans for the next time.
"The great shamans all gathered for King Badre, Your Majesty. " Prince Awang's personal assistant bowed in fear.
"There must be something else. The shamans in the congregation for King Badre were only sows for matchmaking. I want someone who has supernatural powers. " Shouted the man again.
"That's why I heard from one of the shamans that such a thing is now forbidden, Your Majesty. All of that is because the palace suspects that shamans who have supernatural powers tend to be evil." The assistant said.
"That's exactly what I want. Quickly search anywhere shamans like that! "
"No more searching, I've come." Suddenly a dreadlocked and thin-bodied old man with a shabby yellow saffron cloth that was just wrapped around his sensitive area stood slightly bent at the door.
"Who are you? " Prince Awang asked somewhat angrily because of the person's impoliteness.
"I am Jadukari Daalal Nath. " Say the man.
"Why are you here? " Task Prince Awang.
"I've come to help you, Your Majesty. I have been waiting for your arrival for a long time. "
"Whatchu mean? " Prince Awang suspected that the man was a lunatic.
"Don't get me wrong. " The man said as if he could read Prince Awang's mind. "I know your true purpose. I can realize His Majesty's ambition. " The hoarse voice of the man seemed to persuade.
"My ambition? " Prince Awang still did not believe the strangely dressed man.
"The Kingdom of Dewanata. " The man left a soft nudity at the end of his sentence.
"How did you know? " Prince Awang began to be interested in the man's words.
"I know everything. " Jadukari Daalal Nath's voice was full of confidence.
"If you're so great, then why didn't King Badre invite you to the palace? "
"It was because of his hatred for the defeat of King Bharata in the past. He gave it all to me. " The old man's face frowned furiously.
"Why does he blame you?"
"As shamans who accompanied King Bharata, they considered me the one who influenced King Bharata to invade other kingdoms. "
"So you're the shaman who accompanied King Bharata? " Amazes of amazement radiated in the eyes of Prince Awang. The shaman King Bharata is famous for having high supernatural powers. Some stories say that the shaman can raise the dead.
"True, I'm the one. " The shaman's chin was raised haughtily.
"Good, you're the man I was expecting." Prince Awang's smile widened.
His heart was happy not overbearing because it had a blessing that he did not suspect. The strongest shaman who only he heard his story came willingly to help him.
"This is destined. " Jadukari Daalal Nath smiled widely revealing his teeth black and partly dated.
