Reveal The Secret's
CHAPTER 8 _ The Beautiful Queen
At night when they reached Zen's house.
“Huhh... Finally up to also” said Sasha as she sighed and stretched achy muscles
Arriving at Zen's house, they lowered the luggage on the horse's back, and brought it into Zen's house.
Sasha took out the things they got from yesterday's trip and put them on a table by the bonfire in Zen's house.
“Uncle Zen, can we check this roll now” asked Sasha
“Alright, let's check” replied Zen who was turning on the fire
They began to inspect the scrolls they had previously obtained from the dark forest.
“Actually this scroll what uncle” asked Sasha while holding the scroll
“It looks like I know this scroll, but I'm not so sure” Zen replied
“The Linch family used to have a family record written in a scroll. But when the chaos of the scroll disappeared somewhere. After I saw this scroll I became reminded of the missing family records” Zen explained to Sasha
“Then what is this roll in mean” asked Sasha
“Of course, we won't know before opening it
“Then, let's try to open” said Sasha who was looking for the end of the scroll
“The scroll is sealed uncle” said Sasha
There was a seal that locked the scroll. This was no ordinary seal, but rather a spell seal.
An ancient inscription appears to form a circle and there is also an image of an owl's head in the center. On this seal emits a golden-colored but not so bright light.
“Of course this scroll is in the seal, because in this scroll there is also a secret information of a family” Zen explained
“Then how can we unseal this” asked Sasha while giving the scroll to Zen
“This is a spell seal, this is indeed a seal made by the Linch family. And can only be opened by his descendants directly” replied Zen
“I am a descendant of the Linch family, but I can't open it” Sasha said with a puzzled face
“Of course there is a way, not haphazardly. To be able to unseal, we must know how the technique is. Each family has different techniques” explained Zen
“Then if I can't open it, who can open it, whether my father can” asked Sasha
“No, your father will not be able to unseal this, because your father is not involved in this mission” replied Zen
Long enough they thought of a way to unlock the seal that locked the secret scroll.
Sasha opened the next page of the book.
“What in this book is there is a way to unroll this” thought Sasha while holding the book
“Maybe there, try you open” Zen said
Sasha opened her family's book.
From the next page, Sasha found the writing is red, different from the usual written in black ink.
On this page again written a sentence puzzle
courage is the foundation of strength. Weapons are the medium for bringing out power. Our blood is the key to every emerging power
“It's like Uncle's motivational words, roughly what this writing means, why the writing is red, is it because there is a blood word in this sentence” thought Sasha while looking at the window
“So please, I have not been able to conclude” Zen said
While thinking about the meaning of the sentence they found from the page of the book.
Sasha's necklace begins to light up, indicating that Sasha must return to her place of origin.
“Looks like I have to go back Uncle, later I will think at home” said Sasha
“Then go back, I will also think about it here” Zen said
“Then how about this green stone’ asked Sasha
“Let me hold it, it seems like you don't need this thing where you live” replied Zen
Sasha gave the green stone to Zen. And Sasha went back to where she came from.

Arriving at home
“Aahhhh... very tired it feels, my body feels sore” said Sasha
“Rest first, you have made a very heavy trip” said Guin
“Alright, I sleep first” Sasha said
After Sasha fell asleep, Sasha dreamed of coming to a vast prairie, under the bright moonlight Sasha heard a mysterious voice in her dream that said, “On your body there is a key to strength, Sasha, this month is witness”.
The voice was repeatedly heard with the same words. Sasha wanted to answer the voice, but her mouth felt like it was in a lock, to open even Sasha's mouth could not.
Sasha slept uneasily, seen from her sleep that could not calm down.
Guin wakes up Sasha.
“Sasha, get up, what happened” Guin said as she patted Sasha on the cheek
Sasha was shocked when she woke up.
“What's Sasha, you're having nightmares again” asked Guin
“No Guin, my dream is not bad” replied Sasha
As Sasha told her about her dream, a mother's voice came from outside the room.
“Sasha, did you sleep” Mother said as she knocked on the door
“No bu” replied Sasha
“Then let's go down, let's have dinner
“Good ma'am, I'm coming down” replied Sasha
Sasha's heading downstairs for dinner.
For some families, dinner is a good time to talk between family members. And Sasha's family has always done that a long time ago, talking about important things or just joking around at dinner.
“Sasha, have you studied the book given Principal Akibara” asked Dad
“Already Dad, I've read half of the book” Sasha replied with a smiling face
Sasha is very fast in reading a book, this has happened when Sasha first grade Junior High. Sasha's responsiveness in understanding a lesson is indeed quite extraordinary.
After they finished dinner, Sasha returned to her room to continue studying.
Sasha picked up the book previously given by Principal Akibara. This book is about first class literature.
At Akibara, the chosen major is very important to understand, but other lessons are also no less important.
“What time is it Guin, why am I sleepy again” asked Sasha who was sitting in front of her study desk while stretching her muscles
“It's ten o'clock at night, did you want to sleep” asked Guin
“Looks like yes, tomorrow morning Dad took me to Uncle Mic's house to see Linch”'s tah garden Sasha replied as she closed her textbook
“Then you go to sleep, I will keep you here” Guin said
“Alright, I go to sleep first, if this mirror shows strange things, quickly wake me up yes Guin” said Sasha as she headed to her bed
***
A bright morning has arrived, the sound of crowing chickens and the singing of birds that are oceanic makes the atmosphere of the morning feel calm.
Sasha headed downstairs for breakfast. As he climbed down the stairs, he saw Father and Mother waiting for Sasha to eat breakfast.
After they finished breakfast, Father and Sasha prepared to head to Mr. Mic's house to see the Linch family's estate.
“Dad, since when was Uncle Mic family close to our family” asked Sasha as he walked through the tea plantation on his right and left
“It's been a long time, even since the days of your great-grandfather Uncle Mic family has been with the Linch” family explained Father to Sasha
“Then, is there any previous agreement until Uncle Mic family come with Linch family during this” asked Sasha
“It seems to exist, but I don't know what agreement Dad also does not understand. Every family must have a family record, but Father and Uncle Mic didn't manage to find that family record until now”
On the way Sasha still asks a few things about her family. But Sasha didn't tell Dad about Grandma's book she found from the basement of her house.
“Good morning Mic” shouted Dad from the front of Mr. Mic's gate while waving
“Braum” while running to open gate
“I've been waiting for you since last” said Mr. Mic while opening the gate of the house
“Sorry Mic, we were busy chatting during the trip earlier, so a bit late” explained Dad
“No problem Braum, come please enter” invite Mr Mic
They entered Mr. Mic's yard and sat on the porch to talk. At that time Mrs Mic was not at home because of family matters.
After they chatted for a long time, Sasha's father asked to start touring the estate.
“Let's go, it's noon” Dad said while looking at his watch
“Alright, let's go to the back” take Mr Mic
“Before I have been here when I met uncle down there”, Sasha said as she pointed to where Sasha met Mr. Mic
The Linch family's estate is sizable, Mr. Mic is a believer in organizing the care and marketing of the crops.
Now Sasha's father intends to help Mr. Mic to ease his work, after Mr. Mic previously told him about the pain he experienced.
“Dad, Uncle, can't we stop for a moment, I'm tired” said Sasha holding both knees
“In front there is your Father's favorite place as a child, we just rest there” said Mr. Mic while glancing at Father and smiling
“ha... ha.. ha.. you intend to mock me yes Mic” said Dad laughed at the words of Mr. Mic
They went to their intended place and rested in that place.
“Uncle, do not want to tell me about this, it seems there is an exciting incident in this place between Father and Uncle” asked Sasha with a smile
“I or you who Braum” story asked Mr. Mic mocked Dad
“It looks like you just Mic. Ha... ha... ha..” said Dad laughed
“So like this, your father used to be naughty, never wanted if asked to learn by your Grandma. Every time you're told to learn for sure your father ran to this place to hide from Grandma's anger. I was always told to look for your runaway father, and find your sleeping father in this place. You don't imitate your father's behavior ya” mister Mic's story to Sasha
“Let's just Mic, Sasha is not like me, Sasha is a diligent child, unlike me when I was a child, who is always pursued by Mom if asked to learn” said Dad while laughing
They talked for a long time in the resting place.
They proceeded to look at the condition of the plantation belonging to the Linch family.
After touring the estate, they finally returned to the back of Mr. Mic's house. The route made Mr. Mic is indeed made to rotate so as not to go back and forth while monitoring the state of the tea garden owned by the Linch family.
“Finally reached the end, it looks like you just went back to the house Mic, the day is getting late” said Sasha's father
“What does not want to rest first Braum, pity Sasha” said Mr. Mic invite to his house
“No Uncle, we just go home, I still have to study for the school entrance test” said Sasha
“Alright then, be careful on the road ya” Mr Mic said
Father and Sasha return to their home.
***
After arriving home, Sasha went to take a bath and went straight to her room to continue studying.
Time showed at 19:00, a mother's voice came from outside the room.
“Sasha, open the door” mother said
“There is bu” while opening the room door
“This is your dinner, it looks like you are tired, I can't bear to tell you to come down to the bottom” said Mother while giving the food that I brought with the tray
“Thanks Mom for dinner” said Sasha
“Learning that focus ya” Mom says as it passes
Sasha went back to her desk and put her dinner on the desk.
“Guin, you where” says Sasha calls Guin
“There's what Sasha” replied Guin appeared beside Sasha
“I've not focused on learning, how about we go to Gunma to get around” with Sasha
“Ya already, let's go” said Guin
Sasha goes to the mirror and activates the time portal to Gunma.
The time in Gunma is different from the time in which Sasha lived. It is impossible to predict the time of day and night.
This time when Sasha arrived in Gunma in the afternoon, around 16:00.
Sasha arrived in front of the entrance gate of Gunma village. It looks like the residents are engaged as usual.
Sasha, Guin and Oly begin to enter Gunma village.
“Where will we go Sasha” asks Guin
“We go to the market only yuk, in the market more crowded” invited Sasha
They also went to the market.
Gunma village is very different from the village that Sasha lives in, probably because the community is still very traditional.
Arriving at the market, Sasha was interested in one of the bookstores that were not too crowded to visit.
“Excuse me” Sasha said as she entered a not-so-big bookstore
“Please enter, want to find what” book said a woman who guards the bookstore
“I don't know what book you want to find, if you can if you want to look around first” asked Sasha
“Please little girl, that shelf over there is a collection of cookbooks, that's a book about weapons, the very back of it is a history book, maybe not all recorded history, he said, but there is enough information in every book” said Auntie keeper while showing a collection of books arranged on wine in the store
“Thank you Aunt, it seems I am interested in the history book” said Sasha
“True, finally someone interested also read history. In addition to its location at the very back, the books are also a bit dusty, understandably, not many are interested in studying history, so I rarely clean” explained Aunt Guard
“Thanks for the explanation Bi” said Sasha
Sasha went to the history bookshelf located at the very back.
It is a bit dusty, even the touch of a human hand does not exist.
Sasha is interested in the history of the Gunma kingdom. Sasha picked up the book and slightly read the front.
“Wah, it turns out that the kingdom of Gunma has existed since 1005, has been very long, whether here what year, which is clear when compared with years outside this dimension is very far away, more than 1000 years” Sasha said while reading a book
“Sang Queen has arrived”
There was the sound of a soldier screaming and being joined by horse steps.
Sasha came out to look.
Seen as the Queen was standing on her chariot, and as she poured money on the people in the market, upon arriving in front of Sasha, the Queen looked at Sasha with a smile, Sasha smiled back at the Queen.
“Sang Ratu is beautiful, besides that he is also kind” said Sasha who is still looking at the Queen
“The Queen is indeed very good, she often does alms like this, but the Queen's attitude is very contrary to the King, although the King rarely out of the Kingdom, but the Queen's attitude is very different, but the rules he made sometimes troubled us as traders. The big tax rules felt like they were strangling our necks” the bookstore keeper's aunt told Sasha
“That's true, but I see it looks like this Gunma village is prosperous” asked Sasha
“Of course prosperous, although the rules of the King much burdensome to us, butu Raja is very concerned about the agricultural system in the village of Gunma, in addition, the King is also very protective of the villages under the control of the Kingdom of Gunma” explained the guardian aunt
Sasha is increasingly interested in the history of the Gunma kingdom.
While listening to the guard's aunt tell him, Guin tells Sasha that the necklace that Sasha is wearing has started to light up
“Sasha, your necklace” says Guin
“Wah, very fast, whereas the time to the dark forest I was almost two days here” said Sasha
When saying the word dark forest, Sasha so remember that the scroll that He got in the forest was not successfully opened.
“I forgot, about the scroll, can't meet Uncle Zen at this time, I have to go back and think about the scroll” Sasha said inwardly
Sasha thanked the shopkeeper. Then Sasha headed to the back of the bookstore to return home.
