Queen Without Crown
Chapter 57 Release the Prisoner
The night is too late. The atmosphere outside was already deserted. The shops were closed and the street vendors had summarized his wares and returned home.
A man with silver hair dashed, running under the light of thousands of lanterns while holding a woman.
The woman seemed to bewitched to look at the face of the man who was carrying her. Although the face looked foreign, but the woman felt very comfortable nearby.
"We have arrived. Come down! "
Suddenly the words of King Satria broke the woman's daydream. Then he stood up while turning his face to hide his blushing cheeks.
"Come on! "
King Satria took his wife's hand and led her into the inn. At the reception desk, a male servant was standing guard.
"Welcome, Sir. " Say polite.
King Satria nodded. He then approached the waiter and gave him a piece of silver.
"Don't tell anyone about all of us, okay? "
"Yes sir, I understand! " His eyes seemed to sparkle looking at those shiny pieces of metal.
King Satria went upstairs holding Queen Gita's hand. The woman followed him obediently. King Satria then stopped in front of his room and knocked on the door.
"Tok.. tok..!
Eldrige's face instantly appeared as soon as the door opened from within. It seemed that the elf had not slept and was still on guard. Her face looks happy to see Queen Gita coming with her husband.
"It's nice to meet Her Majesty the Queen! " Say Eldrige while bowing respectfully.
"thank you. Who are you anyway? " Tell Queen Gita.
Eldrige looked puzzled, how could the woman not recognize him.
"He's Eldrige, library keeper. He was looking after our son. "
"Library guard? " Queen Gita is confused as to why a library guard turned into a baby caretaker.
"Not to be confused. He's a jobless worker! " The King's hand patted Eldrige's arm.
"Where's the baby? " Tell Queen Gita.
"Puteri Juwita is sleeping, Your Majesty. "
Gladly, Eldrige showed a sleeping baby with his hands on his head.
"That's pretty! " The Queen Gita.
The woman admired the tiny creature that was sleeping. If the baby was really her child, then Chen had already done a very outrageous thing. The man separated a child from his mother.
The touch of that soft and smooth cheek. A small mole under his eyes, reminiscent of his late mother. There were no tears coming from the corner of her eyes.
"Eldrige, we better go help Prince Gaurav! "
"What about the Queen and the Princess? "
"Let them here. Please seal this building! "
"Okay, Your Majesty! "
"Darling, we went to help your cousin. Stay here with our son! " King Satria looked at his wife's face.
The woman nodded with a smile. He looked at their departure with anxious feelings.
Outside the inn, Eldrige drew air with magic spells to create a magical fortress and seal the inn building. With the eyes of a layman, the place looked like an abandoned building.
Then the King of Satria and Eldrige hurried to the house of Lord Liu. From under the shadow of the yellow-leaved Ginko tree, they watched Master Liu's residence closely. The house was now guarded by more soldiers.
Eldrige closed his eyes and sharpened his hearing. He heard the voices of the soldiers whispering to each other.
"Prince Gaurav is captured! " Speak Eldrige.

Inside Mr. Liu's private detention room, Prince Gaurav sat tied to a chair. In front of him, Chen stood up while looking at him furiously.
"You who? How dare you enter Master Liu's house? "
"People like you don't deserve to ask me that!" Prince Gaurav.
"That's arrogant! How dare you come here and screw things up!" Jerky Chen.
"It's funny! Who do you think Gita is? How dare you carry it as if picking up a splattered item on the street! "
"You don't understand at all. Fen and I love each other. We're getting married soon."
"Don't dream! What is your position to replace a king as her husband? "
"Whatchu mean? "
"It turns out you're a real moron, Chen! You don't even know the identity of the woman you kidnapped? "
"I saved Fen, the man couldn't even look after him. He left Fen in the tavern during the explosion! "
"Aren't you the culprit of the explosion? "
"If so, why? They are a nation of invaders, not worthy of pity! "
"Evictors?"
"They scavenge the produce of the Eastern countries and employ the natives for low wages! "
"I don't know what you mean, but things like that shouldn't your head of state have to talk about?"
Prince Gaurav laughed amusedly. Chen is a naive person.
"Say, where did you guys take Fen?"
"She's missing out with her husband, why are you still asking? "
"Plac! "
Chen slapped Prince Gaurav's face, the man's lips dripping with blood but the smile still lingered.
Suddenly a soldier came in and whispered to Chen. The look on the young man's face turned tense, then he immediately left the place.
Chen went to see Mr. Liu in the main building. The old man looked angry.
"What are you doing, Chen? You've jeopardized our mission! "
"What do you mean, sir? "
"Don't try to lie to me again! Now tell me, do you know who the woman you brought to my house is? "
"He is a foreigner living in Elfian!"
"Prank...! "
Mr. Liu threw the ceramic vase on his desk.
"Stupid! You don't even know the identity of that woman? "
"I admit, she's a married woman." Chen's face looked terrified.
"Do you know who her husband is? " Mister Liu asked with a dead red face.
Chen shakes.
"His husband is King Satria, the ruler of the Elfian Kingdom! "
Chen's face grew pale. She did not think that the woman she had kidnapped was a queen. It turned out that his rash actions had caused a huge problem.
"For example, Mr. Liu. I don't know! "
"Your stupidity doesn't even get there, the person you're holding in my house right now is Royal Crown Prince Watu Ijo, Prince Gaurav! "
"What's? "
"Chen, this time your actions are not only endangering you, but also me and the whole country! "
"I'm sorry, Mr Liu! "
Master Liu exhaled a rough breath. He had to find a way to solve this problem. Master Liu was very worried if the Emperor knew all the things that were happening in his house.
"We must try not to let the Emperor know this. Your job now is to clean up the mess you made! "
"Remember, no trace is left! " Mister Chen's voice sounded calm and cold.
"Okay Mr Liu! "
Chen immediately left in front of his master.
*****
"Eldrige, I think I should go see the Emperor of this country! "
"But Your Majesty, isn't that very dangerous? "
"I've thought of everything, Eldrige! Tomorrow we will come to see the Emperor! "
"Your Majesty. "
"But before that, let's free that shitty cousin! Eldrige, do your job! "
Eldrige immediately scratched the air and made a dimensional hole tear. Then the two of them went into the hole and came out in the garden of Master Liu's residence.
They carefully searched for the place where Prince Gaurav was held. While behind the main building, some distance away from the pavilion buildings, they saw a small-sized building guarded by four guards.
"Prince Gaurav must be there! " Bishik Raja Satria.
Then they walked to that place. The four guards, who saw a stranger coming, attacked them.
"Wuuushh!"
Yet unexpectedly Eldrige directly blew them with a palm in front of his mouth. The freezing cold hit them so that the four stood stiff. But their eyes could still move and stare in fear.
"I just want to save time, Your Majesty." Eldrige.
"Good, this time I don't have to tell you. Go, in! "
The king of Satria opened the door with a key that Eldrige had taken from the bodyguard who stood stiff. Inside, Prince Gaurav sat tied to a chair with a bruised face.
"Hello, mate. Have you been waiting long? " Who the King of Satria.
"You missed the party! " Reply Prince Gaurav with a big smile.
Eldrige immediately released the bond on Prince Gaurav's body. The man then stretched his sore muscles from sitting too long.
"We're back now, Eldrige! " Take King Satria.
Eldrige re-opened the dimensional hole. Then they get into it.
Simultaneously, Chen came and found the guards frozen in front of the door. Chen was shocked and went straight inside. When he saw his captive missing, the man shouted furiously while kicking the items that were there.
