The shining sun so quickly submerged itself in the western horizon as if it was so tired and already wanted to rest. The night that Alena was worried about finally came, the night of the fifteenth in which the issue of a heretical ritual was held and tonight a calamity would occur.
That night, the fire was lit. The hunted animals obtained have been processed. That night, they will enjoy the animals together. The banquet table was neatly arranged, the king and queen were already sitting in its place. Ernest and Arabella had also sat in his place.
The prince and some of his men were already in the place that had been provided, as well as the other officials. That night the moon shone brightly but it was not a sign of good because the brighter the moon shone then a perverse ritual that would take its toll would surely happen.
"The moon shines so beautifully, Ernest. The scenery of steps that we can not get especially we will not always be here. What if we sneak in at night to see the beautiful moon and fireflies?" bring Arabella.
"No. Older brother. We are forbidden to go out by Mother and Father," Alena refused.
"We invite Prince Lucius, Father will definitely not refuse."
"No, Brother. I don't like tonight, I want to be in the tent."
"What's up with tonight, Ernest? Is something going to happen?"
"No, I just don't want to go let alone Mother already forbid. Anyway my leg is hurting so I don't want to trouble you guys any more than this!"
"Well, if so, I won't force it."
"From the fact that we go to see the fireflies and the moon, isn't it better that you forgive the situation and invite Prince Lucius to meet and talk?"
"No, Ernest. I'm ashamed!" arabella.
"But big brother likes it, shouldn't he know how Arabella's brother has been feeling all along?"
"Forget it, I'll find the right time to say it. Not on a hunting show like this!"
"I will support you, Brother," Alena said, hugging her sister.
"Thank you, Ernest" Arabella hugged her sister. Queen Hana who saw the familiarity of her two daughters smiled, she hoped that her two daughters continued like that and did not fight over something especially because of men. He also hopes that Arabella can take care of her sister always let alone anyone who wants Ernest's death.
The sound of music and singing rang out, making the evening's event so festive. Prince Lucius never stopped looking at Alena. The woman was completely filled with mysteries that made her even more interested in knowing and that made her even more curious.
From the darkness of the forest far enough away from their tent, a group of people who were doing heresy began to gather. One victim was taken, waiting for another. They will perform the ritual at midnight of course after their busy Queen comes.
"How, has everything been prepared?" ask the one who is the queen's right hand.
"Of course, but the poison can't kill him and the people we sent can't kill him. If there had been no Prince Lucius William, Ernest would have gotten us to be the mastermind but he escaped. Tonight, we must not fail to get rid of her!"
"While brought in, all preparations were prepared and some people were already on site to carry out the next plan."
"Good, when the moon is over the head the ritual must be carried out."
The men were preparing, awaiting the arrival of the queen. Time was so fast turning, the sounds of music and singing were no longer heard because all had returned to their respective tents. As ordered by the queen, no one was allowed to go anywhere but the intruders had already given information to the fellow who was in the middle of the forest.
The information was immediately transferred to a group of people who wanted to perform the ritual. Two victims were already in place. Two of the victims were laid on a stone slab. One on the right and the other on the left. Both of the victims' hands were tied and their mouths were clothed with cloth.
They looked frightened as people wearing black robes were standing around them. The two victims could only wriggle in fear let alone those people started to read strange incantations from a discussion they did not know.
The spells that were spoken grew louder and louder, and the people praised the demon god they worshiped. Time has almost shown midnight, their plans began to run. Each tent was given smoke containing sleeping pills, they drugged everyone in the tent. It is done so that they are free to do anything without disturbing.
After making sure everything in the tent was asleep, the soldiers on guard and some servants were unconscious. The intruders made sure of it carefully and after that they went to the forest to follow the ritual let alone the queen had arrived.
"Honor to the queen's Majesty!" the followers of the queen bowed respectfully to greet him.
"Execute the ritual, immediately!" queen's orders.
The ritual begins, the candles are lit and they read the incantation. One glass of strange liquid was given to the queen and after that the queen surrounded the two victims and poured the liquid over the victim's body while reciting the incantation. His followers also read the incantation when it was done, two victims who would soon die could only be frightened without being able to do anything.
After the strange liquid was finished being poured, someone gave a knife to the queen. The knife was slightly bent, with the handle adorned with a small skull at the end of the handle. The knife was sharp and sharp. After the skull knife, a skull-shaped cup was given.
The mantra is read again, the moon is already overhead so that's the time. The spell was read aloud by the cultists and after that the queen shouted while raising her knife high.
"I present this girl to you and accept what we give you!" after shouting so, the sharp knife in hand hit the chest of the victim. Not only hit the victim's chest but the victim's blood was taken and his chest on the side to remove his heart. Truly a heretic sect, they enjoyed the ritual by drinking the blood of the victim and enjoying the heart of the victim.
The other victim is still alive. He was terrified to see the dead. His blood was allowed to flow, that's why the victim who was found always died in a dry state.
"What about this one, Queen?"
"Now, kill him. Take out all his blood and heart and throw the body into Ernest's tent. Don't forget the other tracks, put his heart near Ernest. He would not die with poison and murder but he would die being tried by everyone because they would all think that he had performed the ritual inside his tent!" this way Ernest could not avoid, the king and queen would not be able to save Ernest because there was real evidence in Ernest's tent.
That's the stratagem they took to kill Ernest and tomorrow, Ernest would really be considered a witch and then he would be judged and he would die by being burned like death to the witches who were judged in general.
The men began to move, carrying out the queen's orders. Ernest had to die as a witch for everyone to think that if there were no more witches and when that happened, their group would have no one to suspect him.
