Some of the audience seemed to approve the words of Princess Nadira. There was a look of disdain directed at me.

"Nadira watch your words" said Prince Sera dislike.

"But big brother, I know Big Brother is crazy about him. But that's not the reason you want to believe his bullshit"

"Nadira is enough" said the King to stop the dispute that occurred.the entire audience immediately silent.

"Sorry Your Majesty, Princess Yuki also has a sharp intuition like her mother's Ransah Princess. Wasn't it because of believing Princess Ransah, the Queen and the Crown Prince were able to survive the distress" Reverend Naru chimed in beside me. Some of the other attendees nodded their heads in agreement.

"Dad, it's good that we listen first to what Princess Yuki wants to say. After that we can decide whether we will believe it or not" said Prince Arana who was talking quietly with His Majesty.

The king nodded his head in approval. I'm relieved the King will listen to me and not be swayed by Princess Nadira's words. "Continue My daughter." The King's orders later.

"In a dream, the Servant saw Princess Matgitha and the Queen in a room above a tower high enough. Princess Margitha told Servant He was taken captive by King Trandem when he returned on his way to the palace"

"Did Margitha also say what purpose Trandem captivated her ?"

I nodded my head in doubt. Staring at Prince Sera for a moment to ask for support. Prince Sera nodded his head. His hand tightly gripped my hand.

"In addition to wanting to use them to rule the country, King Trandem also wanted to make Princess Margitha as one of the concubines who could produce offspring for him"

"Dad.apa Daddy believes this" asked Princess Nadira growled.

"Daughter Yuki can you tell me specifically what you saw in your dream ?" Prince Arana suddenly asked.

I looked towards Prince Sera. Prince Sera nodded his head. "Tell me what you saw. Arana lived in Rashamsah for ten years. He was close to the previous king"

"I was in a tower that was quite tall, the room was small with only one bed and a table with a bathroom without doors. Like a prison. The door is made of solid iron. If you see the color, the door is just installed there. From the window, I saw a long river outside the palace, close to the forest. There was a statue of a woman pouring water in the middle of the river. His face was facing the tower"

"It must be the west tower. I can't be wrong" Prince Arana said.

"Do you believe a word that has no proof ?" Ask Princess Nadira cynically. I didn't know her hatred for me was so great. He looked at me as if I were a disgusting thing, which must be removed immediately.

The sound of a gong rang out loud enough. A Soldier came inside in a hasty manner. Breaking chat.

"Report Sire, Prince...The envoy has got the information the Prince wants" he said respectfully.

"Good"

The guard stepped back, then turned towards the door of the hall. Not long after He returned with two confidants of Prince Sera.

After paying their respects, with a reverent attitude they gave the paper scroll to Prince Sera. A bodyguard of the King stood up and took another scroll of paper which was then handed over to the King.

"Your Majesty the King, Prince, we have asked the Soldier who happened to be there to investigate. And from reliable information, Princess Margitha and the Queen are indeed in the palace of Rashamsah"

Rumbling sounds filled the hall. Princess Nadira seemed to sneer in dissatisfaction. But he didn't comment much.

"Bad Trandem He dared to play games with me. We've just been at war. Prepare an army" said the King as he stood up in anger. Prince Arana bent down to pick up the paper that was released from the King's hand. His face seemed to harden as he watched the contents of the paper. Curious me. "I will cut off his head and drag his carcass on the streets to let Him know who He is playing with fire"

I glanced at the paper that Prince Sera was holding. A photograph taken in secret. Maybe a waiter took it. Princess Margitha and the Queen sat side by side with their legs tied in chains. The Queen's face looked very pale. Princess Margitha lowered her head. There is no usual joy.

"Dad calm down"

"What a Sera are you not angry your mother and sister are treated like that" said the King still full of anger.

"Not so Dad, I'd kill Trandem with my own hands if He dared to touch Margitha with a single hair. But, if we send troops and engage in battle now without proper preparation, I fear that it will only endanger the lives of Margitha and mother. Until now they have not made any demands meaning they do not intend any peace Father"

The king digested Prince Sera's words. He sat back. His emotions began to be mastered. "You are right" said the King at last. The king looked up at the soldier who gave the report. "Continue investigating and report everything to me"

"Okay, your honor"

"Sera prepare the troops just in case, Arana help your sister make a move"

"Good Dad"

I looked at Prince Sera who also saw me. Feeling relieved because in the end I could help her a little.

Since then, Prince Sera and Prince Arana have been busy working out a plan to rescue Princess Margitha. Every day they held a meeting at the Prince's palace.

I went into the Prince's office when the Prince was not around and found out about Rashamsah. My curiosity is no longer stifled.
