Queen Without Crown

Chapter 151 Recognizing the Enemy

Eshwar was excited to welcome Eldrige. He was very worried when he saw Eldrige's pale face. And though Eldrige had already wiped the blood from his mouth, yet a trace of his stain was imprinted on the tip of his sleeve.

"Sir, are you okay? " Ask the young man.

"I'm fine, Eshwar. How's investigation?" Eldrige sat down after putting his bow and sword on the table.

"Prince Awang's room has been sealed since last year for playing chess with Prince Anthony. But strangely enough, I heard strange noises from inside, like the sound of a fight."

"So so?" Even though Eldrige asked a question, he seemed to have known before.

Eshwar immediately prepared tea for Eldrige before sitting on the bench opposite him.

"How could you get hurt?" Ask Eshwar.

"It's nothing, Eshwar."

"Don't say that, sir. I'm really worried. " Said Eshwar.

Eldrige smiled and drank his tea. The warm feeling spread through his throat then to his chest and ended in the stomach.

"Thank you, but I'm totally fine. Keep an eye on Prince Awang's room and report anything suspicious." After saying that Eldrige went to take a bath.

He secretly examined his wounds. The occult hit his chest and caused him to spit out blood. But he also responded to the attack. Although he had already lost his magic power, Eldrige knew some of the magic weakness points he could exploit. So we can be sure that the attacker was injured.

Water makes Eldrige's body fresher. While drying his hair Eldrige came out. He imagined that if he still had the bag, he would have applied the ointment and drank the concoction of his medicine.

Bruk!

Eldrige hit someone. Apparently Eshwar was still standing waiting for him in front of the bathroom.

"Guys.."

Ow hell!

The sound of women's squealing is heard. Eldrige was surprised and took down the towel he used to dry his hair.

"Jewith?" Eldrige saw the girl grimacingly holding her nose. The corner of his eyes was watering from the pain.

"You okay?" Eldrige anxiously approached the girl.

"Stop Eldrige! Aren't you ashamed?" The screams of Princess Juwita made him confused. Why should he be ashamed to help the girl?

"I'm just gonna go check your nose, you cry like that." Eldrige kept coming closer.

The girl turned her face away as Eldrige held onto her chin.

"Let me check it out for a second, Juwita." Now both hands Eldrige holding both sides of Princess Juwita's face, but the girl closed her eyes with a red face.

The girl's nose is fine. But Eldrige became anxious with the girl's behavior. He looked timid and bit his own lips a few times.

"Are you here to tease me? "

"No Eldrige, I'm here to check on you." Said the girl still with her eyes closed.

"Why did you close your eyes? Don't you want to see me? " Task Eldrige by the girl's ear.

"No Eldrige, I'm just embarrassed." At once the two girls eyes opened looking at Eldrige and then immediately closed again.

"You're so adorable." Eldrige smiled as he continued to approach the girl.

Eldrige's hand stroked the reddish cheek. Then it moved to the side brushing the girl's hair and tucking it behind her pointed ears. The red hue on the girl's cheek turned out to spread to the tip of her ear.

Eldrige could not help but tease the girl. She brought her face closer and inhaled the scent of roses from between her hair.

"Eldrige stop." Holding her breath Princess Juwita stepped back. His heart rate is getting faster.

"You came here and lured me like this. " Eldrige keeps pressing.

"I didn't...Eldrige, please stop." The girl kept begging. If Eldrige kept pushing him like that, he would not be able to keep controlling himself.

"What if I don't want to?" Challenge Eldrige.

Princess Juwita opened her eyes and came face to face with Eldrige's pair of red eyes. Body shaking. He's already given up. His entire body was now reacting to Eldrige's touch.

"I've never seen your body without clothes." The palm of the girl's hand touched Eldrige's open chest.

Eldrige was now silent as the girl touched him. Just like Princess Juwita, she never showed her body to a woman.

"You're hurt over here." Princess Juwita's wiggly finger touched the dark area on Eldrige's right chest. The finger moved down the area.

There was pain that Eldrige felt as the fingertips pressed down on him. But at the same time, the fingers lit a fire in Eldrige. If he had intended to tease the girl, now it was his turn to desperately try to hold on so as not to fall into her temptation.

"Jewith." Eldrige closed his eyes feeling the touch of the girl creeping down his abdominal muscles. "I'm going crazy."

Eldrige exhaled, lowered his head and touched his lips to Princess Juwita's lips. There was no coercion on the man's lips. There's just gentleness. He waited for the girl's reply.

Eldrige's eyes opened when he felt the girl's arms curled around his neck. Princess Juwita's head was raised with lips that bristled like rose petals. As if inviting him to take another sip.

Eldrige's head lowered again and landed another kiss on the lips. This time Princess Juwita replied to him. The girl even allowed him to go down the depths of her mouth.

When the girl pulled Eldrige's hand, she just followed him. Eldrige gulped as the girl pushed him onto the bed. He could only be fixated with his heart pounding.

Princess Juwita then went up to the edge of the bed and approached Eldrige. Seeing his courage, Eldrige's guts suddenly shrank. As a person who had lived for 300 years of course he could guess what the girl wanted. Of course Eldrige wanted it too, but not now. They are not tied to the marriage.

He involuntarily crossed both hands in front of his chest. Covering her upper body that had been exposed since then made the girl lose control.

"Don't Juwita!" Eldrige curled up as Princess Juwita began to touch her.

"Jeez, Eldrige. Don't be such a coward." The girl forced her hand.

"Juwita, I love you. But I can't do it." With trembling hands Eldrige held the hands of Princess Juwita.

"Don't refuse, Eldrige." The girl's hand was so agile that it slipped into Eldrige's chest that it pressed against her wound.

"Well!" The man screamed.

"Stop fighting. I was hesitant at first, too, but I was willing to do it for you." The girl looks real. Slowly he pulled the hand of Eldrige covering his body.

"Alright Juwita, if you really want it. But.but I don't know how. I'm.I'm still a virgin." Eldrige finally gave in to his persistence.

"What?" The girl seemed to not care, she was busy unfolding her dress.

"I want to be the perfect lover for you. But.."

Puk.

Eldrige was silent when something wet and slippery stuck to his chest. Then gently Princess Juwita flattened it all over the bruised area.

"I just want to treat you, Eldrige. Eshwar came to me and said that you were hurt."

"Ah, treating?" Eldrige. She was embarrassed to have imagined the no-no.

"I don't think you're so scared to treat. Don't you usually treat other people? Was it because you were a fairy that you never felt pain?" The girl continued to speak without realizing how red Eldrige's face was.

"After this eat the porridge that I prepare, then sleep." The girl stroked Eldrige's head gently.

Eldrige just nodded and stared at the girl's departure.

"Stupid!" He covered his face with one hand while laughing at himself.

*****

In Prince Aswang's room, Jadukari Daalal Nath sat cross-legged on the floor while regulating his breathing. His sunken eyes closed.

"You okay, Jadukari?" Prince Awang who just entered saw the mouth of the old shaman covered in blood.

The shaman opened his eyes. The lentic eyelashes that grew around his eyes flickered weakly.

"An old enemy of mine is in this palace. I'm afraid he'll screw up our plans." Jadukari Daalal Nath.

"Your enemies? Who?" Prince Awang sat on a chair in front of the shaman with a frown.

"She's the elf guard of the Elfian Kingdom."

"You mean Eldrige is here?" Prince Awang's eyes widened to hear it.

"His Majesty knows him?" Ask the shaman.

"of course. He ruined my plan to execute the princess of the Elfian Kingdom."

"Wah.wah, it turns out we are indeed united by destiny." The shaman smiled widely. His black teeth were now red with blood.

"What's that fairy doing here?" Prince Awang looked at the shaman who was now starting to light his firing rolls.

"Unfortunately I didn't get to ask. What if one of His Majesty's bodyguards were to investigate?" The skinny man sucked his gunshot and blew his smoke into the air.

Prince Awang who hated the smell of tobacco immediately shook his hands to keep the smoke from entering his nasal cavity.

Although he did not like it but Prince Awang did not forbid the shaman to smoke in his room. He was willing to tolerate the bad habit of the shaman who liked to smoke and light incense in his room because he needed his skills.

"I'll tell them to find out. But what about you? Are you up to fight Eldrige? " Prince Awang's question seemed a challenge to the shaman.

"Your Majesty don't doubt my abilities." A dark aura emanated from the shaman's eyes to make Prince Awang shudder.

Prince Awang was between fear and admiration for the man in front of him. But if Jadukari Daalal Nath is loyal to him, he will be able to get rid of the barrier that blocked his path.

"I trust you." Prince Awang said solemnly.

A new understanding between the two. Cooperation based on revenge on the same side may not be a reasonable beginning, but that is what unites the two.

"Help me to get rid of my opponents in the dart match so that my victory can be absolute and no further matches are needed." Prince Awang looked at Jadukari Daalal Nath with a sly smile.

"I'll screw up their bows so no one can hit the target." Jadukari Daalal Nath chuckled happily.

"Good, after that there is no reason for King Badre to reject my proposal." Prince Awang smiled with satisfaction.
