A new restaurant stands in Madya City. Several men were seen discussing in a special room they had hired to re-design a scenario of rebellion.
Brakk!!
One of the men kicked the table in annoyance which made everyone in the room startled and instantly silent. The man then massaged his forehead to relieve dizziness, after his rebellion plan the other day was foiled by a woman with great ease.
"That woman... If only the woman wasn't here. Maybe the scenario we've designed before must have gone smoothly!" Said the man who had a stature in his early 30s.
Hearing the man's words everyone put on a serious expression. Each person strongly agrees with what the man said.
The memory of when the bandits they hired turned into ice sculptures before they could reach the main gate, was still evident to the rebels.
"True, not a little gold that we have given to them at the beginning. But those bastards died in just one strike." One of the rebels was upset.
The footing that should have been propaganda to vilify the name of the Mayor and his believers, has now become a decoration for fish on the riverbed.
Actually, if the bandits succeed in making a mess and spreading fear in Madya City. The rebel members would come out from hiding places, then drive away the bandits as if they were heroes.
Once their names rise to the surface, rebel members will allude to the performance of the Mayor and military institutions that are not able to prevent chaos due to the attacks of the bandits.
When that happens the rebel members will start a propaganda agenda to the community to overthrow the Mayor and military institutions whose age is still as long as corn.
But unfortunately all the plans and scenarios they devised in such a way were unsuccessful, as they had not previously known the abilities of the Mayor whom they considered to be just an ordinary woman from a distinguished family in the Capital.
The funds they had collected from Rajendra's negligence in calculating the cost of construction were now gone, having been used as collateral to convince the bandits to work with them.
Plans to prevent the bandits who could at any time rebel back and want to control the City of Madya also they have prepared. Of course, the rebel members did not want a group of delinquents to take over the city they were supposed to control.
"Wait, didn't the woman give us an open invitation to come to the main residence?" Ask a member who remembers that they got an invitation from the Mayor.
The rebel members themselves do not know that Princess Amanda is actually not the Mayor, even they do not know the identity of the veiled woman who is the Princess of the Kingdom of Angasari.
The rebel leader, who heard the words of one of his members, immediately turned his eyes towards the man.
"Open invitation? Why didn't I know that before?" There was a trace of confusion on the rebel leader's face as he stared at one of the members.
Gaining a sharp look from his leader, the man instantly became nervous. Especially when his other colleagues also directed a gaze at him with a face full of question marks.
"Look... Last night Deswara came to see me where I used to drink. The traitor conveyed an invitation from the Mayor to attend a light banquet. But I refused it..."
"Basic stupid! Don't you understand this invitation could get us into a relationship with the mayor?!" The rebel leader was visibly enraged to learn that the member had refused Deswara's invitation.
When he first saw the Mayor, the rebel leader immediately put his heart to the woman. The Mayor's graceful figure and cold to everyone, making the rebel leader have targeted the woman as his companion in the future, even though they are on different sides.
Initially after the plan to overthrow the power succeeded. The rebel leader wanted to make a good impression on the depressed Mayor over the deaths of most of his citizens at the hands of the bandits.
But the rebel leader did not expect that when the bandits carried out the attack, the Mayor could easily overcome them using only a light flick of his hand.
Instead of being afraid of the woman, the rebel leader's desire to get her has increased. Who would not want to have a woman who was a high-level spiritual cultivator.
The rebel leader certainly wants him to strengthen his position in the future. He was also very sure that behind the veil and the all-black clothes covered by the woman, it must be hiding the heavenly beauty that surpassed even the Goddesses.
Just thinking about its beauty, it had already made blood dripping from the nose of the rebel leader. Although the Mayor had foiled his first plan, but he was sure with his face that could be said to be quite handsome can approach the woman.
But now it's all over. The golden opportunity given by the Mayor by inviting him directly, was actually destroyed by his own men.
"I... Last night I was really drunk and couldn't digest what Deswara had said..." The rebel member curled up in pain on the floor while holding his stomach, and looked at the leader with fear.
What everyone including the careless rebel members were worried about was happening. Their leader suddenly pulled out a sword and directly slashed at the man's neck without mercy.
Blood splashes instantly spread on the floor as well as walls made of wood. The clothes of a number of rebel members who were at the beheading place also did not escape the splashes of blood.
The head of the member rolled and his body collapsed, leaving a pool of blood continuously flowing from the slash wound on his neck.
"Araghh! Shit, you stupid fool! Now how do I apologize to that woman?!" The rebel leader yelled bitterly while squeezing his head, hoping to have a way to meet the Mayor.
Seeing one of their friends who died in the hands of their own leader. The other rebel members could only turn their faces away, and did not think too much of their friends because they had already made a mistake.
When all rebel members are busy coping with their frustrated leader. The rebel members were unaware that a number of Black Flag troops were moving towards them.
The people on the street who saw the Black Flag troop group walking hurriedly were curious. Feeling that there would be an important event, the people then followed the Black Flag army.
As the replacement figure of Arya to lead the Black Flag army. Arjuna looks impatient to take a number of people who have been the mastermind behind the bandit attack a few days ago.
"Those people don't understand the return of the favor at all..." Arjuna's tone sounded annoyed and he had a serious expression on his face.
Several other higher-ups who were in the group nodded in agreement with Arjuna's words. They all do not understand what the rebels' heads are really about, even though they have been given a decent life by Arya.
