"What is rain?" Nehan was worried because Nindiya was raining in her carrier.
"No." The answer. He sank his embrace.
Nehan walked quickly. Soon they will arrive at Guntur village. But Nehan's gaze stopped when he saw that the tent had been standing not far away.
Nehan who was holding Nindiya who was still crying in her carriage accidentally crossed paths with someone who looked like a royal warrior.
"Hey young man. Have you ever seen a royal party on this road?" A soldier asked him.
The soldier ran off to rain. He who saw someone who was rained and brought the woman he carried made the soldier curious.
"No." Answer Nehan briefly.
"Hmmm... This chick? Is..." The soldier was curious, why was there such a young pair of mudis in the forest.
Could they be lovers who are doing something indecent. Or they were doing whatever it was, but looking at the humans in the forest, they could have been a guide or at least provided information.
Before the soldier finished his sentence, Nehan explained who the woman he was carrying was. He is his wife. And that makes the soldier a mangosteen. He also said there were bodies of soldiers and people dressed all in black.
"So. What about the Princess?" The soldier asked because Nehan had not said where the Princess was.
"Porter?" Nehan remains vigilant. Because they may not be good people.
"Yes. We are from the Lokapraja kingdom. We are looking for our daughter who is not home yet. Could the princess be dead?"
Because Nehan saw that the soldier was not lying or suspicious, Nehan believed in the soldier.
"Maybe you mean Princess Padmasari?" He opens his voice.
The soldier stared at the young man who looked calm. He knows about their daughter. The princess does not know much. Only an educated or important person ever knew about the princess.
"Yes. Ah you know that. I think you're an educated man." Guess the soldier.
"Not really. I know where the princess is. He's still alive."
"Thank God. All right then, you'll take us. So that we can escort the princess back to the palace."
"Let's follow me. But the corpses of the soldiers should be taken care of as well. They were five hundred meters away. Follow this path." Unmistakably. He pointed to the path he had just walked.
"Oohs... Alright. Then then. Soldiers!"
Some soldiers gathered. Then the one who spoke to Nehan was the leader of the soldier. They were seen obedient to the orders of the soldiers.
Now the soldiers, numbering about fifties, are divided into two. Thirty soldiers were assigned to take care of the corpses of the fallen soldiers. The other twenty followed Nehan.
The rain was getting heavier, making their clothes drenched. Nindiya still faithfully embraced Nehan who carried her. He felt a cold all over his body. But he was happy because he did not have to walk anymore.
"Are you going to sleep in my arms? Won't you come down for a second, queen."
"Hehehe... I'm the queen." Chortled.
Finally Nindiya came down from Nehan's sling. He did not feel ashamed of the soldiers who noticed the affection they were doing.
"Young people. Huh... I think I'm remembering my past." Tell the soldiers who are near them.
"Haha... Just be jealous." The other one.
"Noah. You're not ashamed?" Nehan looked at the sweet face of his wife.
"No." Plain talk.
Long wet hair due to rain water that continues to flutter Nindiya. His face looks white. He shivered in the cold.
"Huh... It's cold, yeah."
"Yes. Here's your hand." Nehan took Nindiya's hand to rub the rub and he blew Nindiya's soft hand.
"Hhhmmm is muted." He muttered. A smile on her tiny lips.
"Do you have to show off your affection? You must be the newlyweds." Guess one of the soldiers.
Nehan did not respond to the soldier's remarks. Because they have seen the big house in the village. Nehan did not take them to the physician's house or his own. He led the soldiers to the inn. Princess Padmasari and her two bodyguards are there.
"Puteri." The warrior leader along with his subordinates immediately knelt before the Princess.
"Yes. You guys get up." Declared.
They also stand. They feel relieved. The princess of the Lokapraja kingdom they found. With this, his only duty was to take the Princess to their kingdom.
The soldiers who were there were well received by the innkeeper. This inn is fairly small because it is actually just a big house from a large family. Some of the residents of the room were already working outside the village. Twenty warriors who were nowhere near enough, could only stand in a hall that was ten times seven meters wide.
An ordinary hall of village people would gather to discuss with each other. As for a surau in the village of Guntur. But the surau was only used for worship.
