The Love of the Maharani

Intruders in Nevarest

"What happened to your mom, Anna?" Jordan stared worriedly at the figure of the woman lying before him, Elva.

On top of the bed, the gold-plated columns lay the previous queen of the land of Nevarest, as well as his wife Jordan, Queen Elva.

The last time Jordan met Elva, it was a dozen years ago. He could still remember his beautiful wife.

But seeing Elva's current appearance in her bed, Jordan's chest felt like it was being overwritten by a very heavy burden.

Missing is the clear white skin of Elva, because now the skin of his wife looks dull and pale. Jordan was also very surprised to find that the beautiful black hair he once admired had now turned all white.

Elva looks like she's asleep. But when Jordan tried to wake his wife by shaking her arm a little hard, Elva did not wake up. Finally, Jordan asked Elva's condition to his daughter, Anna.

Anna, with her appearance in the queen Nevarest's typical oversized gown, bowed sadly upon receiving a question from her Papa, Jordan.

"Mama.in Anna's intention, Rani's mother had a decline in health conditions since a year ago," said Anna began the story.

"He.. what pain?" Jordan asked with eyes still focused on his wife's face.

Meanwhile, Anna glanced at the closed wooden door. Precisely in the small hole under the door, Anna saw the shadow of someone there.

Immediately Anna's heart seemed to stop. He weighed many things before giving Jordan an answer.

'Mommy, how is this? How can I warn Papa about the current situation in Nevarest? The man's spies are everywhere. Am I safe enough to say it right now?' anna's mind was at war with her own.

"Anna! What's wrong with you? What is your mother really sick? He didn't wake up at all however Papa woke him up" Jordan lamented.

"Mama.., I mean Anna, Mother Rani is sick from unknown causes, Pa," replied Anna ambiguously.

"One day, when Mother Rani drank tea with her errand boy, Mother suddenly fell and fainted. After that, Mother several times had to wake up, even if only for a short duration, about ten minutes. Until finally Mother became what she is today, and could not be awakened again," Anna ended the story.

"How exactly do royal healers work?! Why can't they do something to cure him!?" Amuk Jordan on empty air.

For some time, Anna was silent. Until the voice of a servant outside the room who reported the arrival of someone.

"His Majesty the Queen, Maha Patih Adda is about to face!" Said the man's waiter.

Knowing who had come, Anna felt her nervousness slightly subside.

'Finally Uncle Patih has arrived. Hopefully Uncle can explain Nevarest's condition to dad!' anna cried out in hope.

Outside the room, a middle-aged man of Jordan's age looked dazed. He is Patih Adda. Veteran general of the famous Nevarest country to all four countries. He was around his mid-forties.

Earlier, when Patih Adda was practicing breathing in the front yard of his pendopo, a loyal servant of Queen Anna came to see him. From that servant Patih Adda got word from the young queen that the king of Jordan had returned.

Instantly Patih Adda immediately stopped practicing and immediately tidied himself to face the king. While preparing, Patih Adda recalled his conversation with the young queen on the night before the queen's coronation, 3 months ago.

The flash back on.

Princess Anna: Uncle Patih, I don't know when my father will come. But he'll come back someday.

However, if I have not had time to tell my father about the condition of Nevarest lately, please Uncle Patih who told his father. Because lately it seems like I was being followed by the shadow army belonging to that person.

I was afraid that if I told my father straight away, he would do evil to him immediately.

Patih Adda: Well, princess.

Princess Anna: thank you, Uncle.

And now, Patih Adda had prepared the letter he had written so painstakingly. Because he had to avoid being caught by the shadow troops just to be able to write the letter.

So before he wrote the letter in his hand, Patih Adda deliberately took up an assignment outside the city of Nevarest. To get away from the shadowy spies.

When the male servant who had just announced his arrival, finally came out. Patih Adda's nervousness is getting worse.

How not, if at this time he will be reunited with his king. It has been a dozen years since the king's sudden departure. And now the king came back suddenly.

When the door had opened, Patih Adda immediately stepped inside the Orchid castle pavilion.

Once inside, Patih Adda immediately looked at the king's eyes. Even if it only lasts for one second. Because of the prohibition for the king's subordinates to look directly at deliberately.

In an accidental second earlier, Patih Adda was very surprised by the appearance of the king of Jordan at that time. Because the appearance of the king is very different from the clothes commonly worn by the king or the people of the land of Nevarest.

Precisely the appearance of the current king of Jordan reminds Patih Adda of an old acquaintance. Little friend Patih Adda who also disappeared without a trace, then returned home suddenly.

"Greetings to your Majesty!" Patih Adda said hello.

"Greet you too, O Great Coach!" The king replied, Jordan.

Patih Adda then came to approach the King of Jordan who was still sitting on the edge of Queen Elva's bed, until the distance between them was about three meters away.

"What's really been going on at Nevarest while I'm gone, Patih Adda?" Ask Jordan suddenly.

"That's.." Patih Adda glanced at Queen Anna, who gave her a soft saddle.

After a moment of hesitation, Patih Adda finally replied with an ambiguous answer.

"There's too much going on, my lord. So that it is difficult for me to start," replied Patih Adda.

'Again the ambiguous answer I got. Anna, now the great coach Adda gave me an ambiguous answer. Actually, what has happened in Nevarest during my time away?' Jordan is a monologue in the heart.

'Is there something that makes them both not free to answer my question? Even in this private room?' Jordan was still silent.

Jordan looked around the room. He seeks to use his inner power (inner power) to sense the existence of others.

Inner power is a deep power that only talented people have. There are two types of inner power in this world. It is a type of physical strength, as well as inner strength.

Examples of physical strength include above-average muscle strength, strength to lighten the body, strength to withstand heat and/or cold, and others.

While examples of inner strength include above-average five-sensory power, invisible seeing power (metaphysical beings, past events, past events), and others.

Each inner power consists of five levels of power. That is the basic level, the middle level, the high level, the supra level, and the ultra-abstract level.

Those five levels of inner power could be seen from the color of chi in their eyes. Chi is the aura of inner power when one uses it.

To a basic degree, the chi color of their eyes is canary yellow. Middle level, the color is bright green. The high level of chi is blue. The supra level of his chi color is red. As well as its ultra level of chi color is white.

As of this moment, the king of Jordan suddenly closed his eyes and used his inner power to track the whereabouts of others in the room.

Instantly also the color of chi in his eyes turned blue, which could only be seen if he opened his eyes. And Jordan could immediately find the whereabouts of someone other than him, Anna and Patih Adda in the room.

And with his inner power, Jordan was able to find that person's position. The intruder hid behind a room pole about five meters from where Jordan was.
