Queen Without Crown

Chapter 90 Is Not a Dream

When Princess Juwita was relaxing in the afternoon with her friends, inevitably she conveyed what had been troubling her mind since last night.

"Have you guys ever experienced anything weird while you were here? " Task Princess Juwita.

"What a strange thing? Mean what? "

"I mean. emm... have you ever seen or experienced strange things? Especially at night? "

"You mean like. ghost? "

"Yes, I that sounds ridiculous but.it looks like I met a ghost last night! "

"Where did you see the ghost? "

"In my bedroom window." Princess Juwita lowered her voice.

"You don't scare me, Juwita! " Ningrum shriveling.

"I'm sorry but I'm not lying. Last night there was someone sitting at the window and then he dropped himself down. Then when I checked it turned out that there was nothing!"

"You must be dreaming! " Said Ratri

"Yes, maybe you're too tired? " Sapna looked at Princess Juwita with worry.

"I'm not sure either. But I actually felt a cold sensation when his hand touched my cheek! " Daughter Juwita touched her cheek as if she still felt a cold sensation caused by the touch of that time.

"As long as I've been living in this dorm since a year ago, I've never experienced such strange things. " Ratri looked at Princess Juwita with a look of disbelief.

"Ah, maybe you're right. I'm too tired to hallucinate." Princess Juwita looked down lethargic.

"What a pity you're my roommate! " Ningrum hugged Princess Juwita's arm.

"But in any case this cannot be allowed! " Sari suddenly stood up.

All his friends looked at the girl in surprise.

"We'll find out if Juwita's experience is a dream or real! "

"How is it? "

"Jewith! If you are once again experiencing something strange, try to make sure that you are conscious! "

"Do I have to pinch myself? "

"Yes, you can do that too. "

"Then if I'm sure I'm aware, what should I do? "

"Search for help! Anyone will easily hear your screams. "

"But what if I get punished for making a scene at night? "

"Then wake him up!" Sari pointed at Ningrum.

"But I'm afraid of ghosts! " Ningrum's eyes were wide in fear.

"Everybody is afraid of ghosts. But we don't have to be sure if what Juwita sees is a ghost. Could he just be hallucinating? "

"Alright, I've never felt anything strange in our room either." Ningrum looked at Princess Juwita while nodding. "You can wake me up."

"Thank you! " Princess Juwita said sincerely.

"Have not thought too much! Now we're going to discuss our plan to go to the night market." Sari said to end the discussion about ghosts.

King Satria's entourage reached Queen Gita's homeland just as dusk began to disappear. The trustees of King Satria reported their arrival to the border guards.

Then the group was escorted to Watu Ijo Palace. The moment they arrived there, it appeared that a handsome man with shoulder-length black hair had been waiting.

"Gaura! " Squeak Queen Gita as soon as the man approached her horse.

"Dear cousin! " King Gaurav helps Queen Gita get off her horse. The two of them hugged each other to let go of the miss.

"You haven't forgotten me, have you, Gaurav?" King Satria patted King Gaurav on the shoulder.

"Of course not, my friend! " King Gaurav turned around and embraced King Satria.

They walked into the palace with Queen Gita in the middle. King Gaurav occasionally glanced at his cousin to make sure he was doing well.

Although King Gaurav had stopped expecting Queen Gita, the woman still held an important position in his heart, after his wife and child.

"Elok has been waiting for you since. She gets impatient when she hears you coming, Gita." King Gaurav smiled widely.

"I can't wait to meet Elok! " Reply Queen Gita.

The moment they entered the hall, a beautiful woman was walking gracefully down the stairs. Her purple eyes sparkled and a smile puffed up on her lips.

"Sir Gita! " Queen Elok sped up and ran to Queen Gita. The beautiful woman hugged Queen Gita tightly.

"Lok, you look more beautiful!" Praise Queen Gita.

"Ah, really? But sometimes I get jealous of the young girls that surround my husband! " Elegant Queen's lips sneered while glancing at her husband.

"What's wrong with those girls? " King Satria glanced sharply at King Gaurav whose face was flushed red.

"There are no cousins, they are just stupid girls who are inexperienced. Of course they can't compare to my very beautiful wife! " King Gaurav immediately hugged his wife's waist.

"Foolish girls! They boast of the youth I have lived through! " The voice of the Elok Queen sounded furious.

"You shouldn't think of them, baby. They are not even worth comparing to your shadow! " King Gaurav kisses his wife's hand.

Queen Elok finally smiled hearing her husband's encouraging remarks. Actually the woman was well aware of how loyal King Gaurav was to her. But the arrival of the young women had disturbed his composure.

"All right." Queen Elok nodded. "Satria, I'll take Kak Gita to the room first. I'll be waiting for you for dinner in half an hour! "

"Yes, Elok." King Satria kissed Queen Gita on the cheek and let her go with her cousin.

Queen Gita walks with Queen Elok to her room. The woman felt that something was troubling the mind of Queen Elok.

"What's up, Elok? " Queen Gita asked as the two of them were already inside the room.

Suddenly the Queen of Elok sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Queen Gita became very confused.

"So, lately I can't stand my situation! " Elok Queen tried to wipe away her tears.

"I understand, Eloquently." Queen Gita nodded. He understood the situation of the woman. Although King Gaurav loved her dearly, the Royal Council would, for sure, continue to urge the man to seek a concubine in order to obtain an heir to the throne.

The marriage of King Gaurav and Queen Elok, which has been almost fifteen years, is haunted by the absence of the crown prince. They only have a fourteen-year-old daughter named Princess Devi who is ill.

Queen Elok laid her head on Queen Gita's lap with a trembling body. He felt his chest was very tight.

"There were some girls who were brought to this palace to be chosen as concubines. Can you imagine that? My heart ached once upon seeing the girls looking at me haughtily and scornfully." Queen Elok let go of her strangeness.

"Patience, I'm sure Gaurav won't do rash things." Queen Gita tries to comfort.

"Oh yeah, how's Devi doing? Why don't I see it? " Task Queen Gita again.

"She was in Graha Usadha for regular treatment." The face of Queen Elok grew even more grim.

"How is he doing now? "

"There hasn't been any meaningful change, I wish there was a miracle so Devi could recover." Queen Elok let out a long sigh considering the frail health condition of her son.

"Tomorrow to meet him, okay? " Queen Gita patted Queen Elok's arm.

"Yes, Brother. He'll be very happy. "

*****

Tonight Princess Juwita sleeps early because her body is very tired. He even slept before the curfew bells rang.

Wuuushis..

Suddenly the girl felt a gust of wind hitting her body. The girl reflexively pulled her blanket and covered her entire body to the head.

Wuuushis..

His body trembled in coldness, a cold wind blowing through the blanket that wrapped around his body.

Wuuushis..

This time he could not stand it anymore, his sleep was completely disturbed. Princess Juwita immediately opened her eyes and came out of the blanket.

"Yeah! " A screech came out of Princess Juwita's mouth.

His eyes were terrified when he saw that someone standing by the window was looking at him.

There was a chill emitted by the person dressed in all black, making the entire body of Princess Juwita shiver and her heart pounding unruffled.

"Who are you? " Daughter Juwita cried out with all her might, but the sound that came out of her mouth was just a small, meaningless hiss.

Suddenly the man walked over without making a sound of footsteps, as if his body was floating on the floor made of fine and shiny teak wood.

The more the person approached, the more Princess Juwita recognized him. He was the young man he had seen falling from the window of his room.

The young man pulled the corner of his lips to form a smile. But for Princess Juwita it looks more like a sneer.

Suddenly the girl remembered the advice of her friends to deal with a situation like this. A situation where he is not sure if it is real or not.

Princess Juwita's fingers immediately pinched her own body. His hands that were beside his body were only able to grab onto the area of his thighs.

The girl frowned in pain to respond to the pain her pinch inflicted on her thigh.

"Luck! " The girl complained.

It turned out that the effect was not just pain, but as if his consciousness was returning. His body was now able to move again and respond to his brain commands.

Princess Juwita immediately woke up from her sleeping position, still looking at the young man. His feet immediately descended on the other side of the bed to stay away from the young man.

The girl moved quickly closer to her roommate's bed and shook her friend's body to wake him up.

"Ningrum, wakeup! " cries.

But his friend was still asleep, as if he felt nothing.

"He won't wake up! What do you expect if he wakes up? " A soft, cold voice sounded from behind.

"Who are you? " This time Princess Juwita was able to speak normally before the young man.

"Is it important for you to know?" Answer the young man.

"of course! I want to know the identity of the person who broke into my room and asked me while sleeping! " The anger that controlled Princess Juwita's soul made her find the courage to fight the intimidating figure.

"Haha..I can't believe you're so brave little girl! " A very strange speech was uttered by the young man who looked still young.

"Well if you're so curious, my name is Nicolae! " A cold and claustrophobic aura seemed to be crammed inside the room when the young man mentioned his name.

Princess Juwita stood looking at the young man whose height was far above her boldly.

"Nicolaus! " Daughter Juwita mentioned the young man's name.

Suddenly Nicolae's body disappeared from his presence as if it had just vanished without leaving a trace. Princess Juwita blinked her eyes as if she had just woken up from a dream.
