Mayang's newly awakened concubine was astonished. In his room was his father and Eldrige was sitting looking at him.
"What's he doing here, Dad?" The woman's face showed dislike.
"Eldrige is here to help you, Mayang! You should thank him!" The chairman of the Permadi Council held his son's hand.
"Why should I thank the troublemaker?" Proudly, Consort Mayang pointed his index finger at Eldrige who was still looking at him calmly.
"Darling! Can you show her a little respectful attitude? He saved you! You owe him your life!" His father's face was red from anger and shame at his son's brazen behavior.
Seeing his father's anger, Consort Mayang became daunted. His father was not a person who liked to play games. But he really didn't understand why he owed his life to the library guard.
"Everyone in this palace knows your secret, Mayang!" His father's voice softened, his face looked extremely concerned.
Concubine Mayang was wide-eyed, she could no longer speak. What the hell is going on? Has Ahren betrayed him?
"Did Ahren betray me?" The woman's voice was full of emphasis.
"Brakk!"
"You can't even appreciate Ahren's sincerity? That poor kid almost died trying to save you!" His father kicked the table so furious, making the woman jump.
Ahren almost dead? What did he miss? Why doesn't he remember anything?
"We'd better do the ceremony, now!" Eldrige suddenly opened his voice.
The Chairman of the Permadi Council nodded. Concubine Mayang looked confused.
"The ceremony? What ceremony?" Concubine Mayang looked confused.
"The ceremony of annulment of the treaty with the devil Sitr !" His father looked at him sharply, as if skinning him.
Concubine Mayang gulped. It is not surprising that his father knew everything. Does everyone know that too? Including King Satria?
The beautiful woman was bowed lethargic. There's nothing more he can do now. If everyone in this palace already knew his secret, then his life was over. Can he bear it?
"If you don't do the ceremony, then your life will float!"
Consort Mayang's face turned pale with fear. He remembered his agreement with the devil. His soul had him pawned the old demon.
"Eldrige, start now!"
Eldrige nodded and drew a Pentagram on the floor and lit a candle in each corner. Eldrige told Consort Mayang to lie down in front of the Pentagram. The lights in the room were turned off.
Eldrige sat cross-legged in front of Consort Mayang, then said a spell whose language was unknown to the woman.
Soon the atmosphere in the room changed, it was gripping and getting colder. Although the air was cold, but sweat soaked Consort Mayang's forehead.
Suddenly a black shadow that was darker than night, was present. There was a very terrible angry growl and made the woman's guts shrivel.
"Concubine Mayang, try to follow these words!" Eldrige's orders while raising both his hands into the air.
"Ego dimittam, Abripio a !"
Concubine Mayang then imitated Eldrige's words.
"Ego dimittam, Abripio a !"
The shadow of the creature twisted furiously. He doesn't want his prey to just come off. The shadow of a claw quickly shot to Concubine Mayang's neck and strangled her.
The woman squirmed in pain and was out of breath. His hands were clenched and his tongue stuck out.
Seeing this Eldrige then threw sea salt and made the claw release the neck of Consort Mayang. The woman coughed.
After that, the lights are turned on. Consort Mayang is lying. His entire body was filled with sticky mucus and smell.
"I recommend not cleaning up that mucus until morning. I'm afraid the devil will come again." Said Eldrige to Concubine Mayang.
"You mean, I have to let my body be filled with this disgusting slime until morning?" Concubine Mayang looked at Eldrige in annoyance.
He had even forgotten to thank the elf who had saved his life.
"Darling, you must obey Eldrige if you want to survive!" His father immediately rebuked.
"Eldrige, thank you very much!" The Chairman of the Permadi Council looked upon Eldrige sincerely.
Eldrige nodded then went out. Unbeknownst to anyone, Eldrige smiled in satisfaction at his pranks.

Meanwhile King Satria lay weakly on his bed. His face was bluish and the corners of his lips were broken. But his mind had devised various plans.
Tomorrow he will hold a closed hearing for Consort Mayang as well as remove his position as First Concubine officially.
Then he will urge the Royal Council to lift Queen Gita's exile sentence. And he'll soon pick up his wife so he can go back to the palace.
Then he remembered Eldrige. He immediately called the elf, because he could not wait to know the results of the annulment ceremony.
Eldrige immediately came to King Satria's room. His face looked tired, but King Satria did not care, he just wanted to know the results immediately.
"The ceremony was successful, Your Honor. Now Consort Mayang is free." Eldrige.
"good. Then tomorrow he can take the trial!" King Satria smiled with satisfaction.
Meanwhile Eldrige was sleepy in front of him. The energy of the elf was already drained, but King Satria still spoke at length.
Despite being ill, the man still seemed to have a lot of energy to talk. He stopped when he realized that Eldrige had climbed into his bed and slept next to him.
"What are you doing, Eldrige? Wake up! This isn't your bed!" The man nagged. But Eldrige's eyes were closed. The elf had already flown into dreamland so as not to pierce the man's shout.
Angrily the King of Satria laid his body next to Eldrige. The man put a roll in the middle as a barrier. His face pouted, tonight he resignedly had to sleep in bed with Eldrige.
*****
Early in the morning Eldrige woke up in shock. Because there was an arm that was hugging his back. He immediately turned around and immediately looked at the face of King Satria.
"Yyyyyy..!"
Eldrige shouted loudly and made the King wake up. The man blinked his eyes and was not yet fully conscious from his sleep.
"What's up?" Ask King Satria.
"Why is His Majesty sleeping in my bed?" Eldrige asked half-shouting.
"What's? This is my room, Eldrige! Why are you sleeping here?" King Satria immediately woke up and nagged.
Eldrige just realized that this is the King's room. Then he hurriedly got off the bed and left the place without a word. His mind was muddled because of this embarrassing incident.
The king of Satria just looked at him in wonder. He shuddered in horror considering that he had hugged Eldrige.
"Basic crazy fairy!" Aspersion.
After that the King of Satria immediately got ready. He told his assistant to invite the Royal Councils to come together. Today he will begin the trial of charges to Consort Mayang.
