The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

The Dark Story of Westtrink Village

Lucius takes Alena to a village far enough from Westtrink village to find lodging and of course to rest because of Alena's condition that has not fully recovered due to the poison. They would look for a safe inn because Alena wanted to open the box given by the Holy Order. Indeed, he was impatient especially the words of the old man in the village of Wesstrink.

He hopes that in the box there are clues because he will find out who was the first witch born from Westtrink village. It turns out that he was not the only one who wanted to know, Lucius and Amy also wanted to know what the contents of the box were very secret by the Holy Order.

While heading for the village, Lucius forces Alena to one horse with him. He did not allow Alena to ride alone because it was very dangerous. With Alena's condition still not good, he could fall from the horse. Although Alena did not want to, she still insisted that's why Alena sat in front of Lucius.

The journey they took to another village was not close because they needed a short rest especially Alena seemed to have fallen because that's why Lucius did not allow Alena to ride alone.

"We'll take a break!" lucius orders him to stop his horse.

"Why, Prince. Don't waste time!" said Alena.

"You're not doing well, Ernest. Don't let us get to the village but you're dead!"

"I'm fine, don't be so scared!"

"No, you're not okay. Set up the tent, Bastian!" lucius' orders.

"Prince!" Alena was about to protest but did not so because Lucius carried her down from the horse without cue.

"Prince!" Alena doesn't like to be treated that way.

"Hm?" Lucius looked at him with a smile.

Alena sighed, never mind. He could not prevent what the man was about to do so he should not argue too much as his body felt very tired today. Lucius took him to the root of a great tree and sat Alena there.

"Not denied?" tanyakanya.

"I'm so tired today."

"That's because of the poison that's still in your body. Your condition will soon heal if you get enough rest."

"That box, I want to see it" said Alena because she couldn't wait any longer.

"We'll see it after the tent stands. Now just rest, I'll get you a drink."

"Thank you, Prince."

"Can you just call my name? I'd rather you say my name directly."

Lucius led Alena carefully to the tent, and there was already a place for them to rest. Some food has also been prepared by Amy, the box is also inside. Bastian and Amy get orders to stay on guard because no one should know what Alena and Lucius are up to.

The food was exhausted, the antidote did not forget to be drunk by Alena and now they will open the box that made curious since then.

"What do you think it's all about, Ernest?" ask Lucius.

"That's it, but I got a little hint from an old man while I was fighting those bandits," a thin knife was taken because he wanted to open a neatly closed box and the box was covered with melted wax.

"What did the man say?"

"Everyone said the first witch was born in the village of Westtrink and she also said the witch could be anyone and I'm sure, in this box there will be a clue we have to solve!" the box cover was already open after Alena removed the melted wax using her knife.

Lucius and Alena looked at each other, it was time. The box is placed and the contents are removed. A fairly thick old book, two crosses as well as several other objects were given by the sacred order to Ernest. The box was removed, now they focus on the book because they believe there will be a clue from the book.

When the first sheet was opened, Alena and Lucius read the inscription written by someone who was also devoted to the Holy Order.

In 1467 the village of Westtrink, at that time the village of Westtrink was very prosperous. The whole village lives in harmony. They farmed and raised livestock as a livelihood but all that changed when Lady Lilya came to the village. She was a graceful woman, all admiring her beauty to the point of making the men in the village want to have Lady Lilya.

She is a wonderful and rich woman. Because of her beauty and wealth, Lady Lilya married many men but no one knew the whereabouts of Lady Lilya's husbands. Lady Lilya's child was also a lot of that time but she did not age and still beautiful as ever. No one knows why her beauty can be like that but every month there will definitely be a young woman who becomes a victim. His blood seemed to be drained, as well as his heart that disappeared.

The incident continued to happen repeatedly and no one knew at all but one time, a servant who worked in Lady Lilya's house accidentally heard a scream from the basement floor, the waiter found out what happened. The servant was surprised that the Lady was performing a perverted ritual in that place. Lady Lilya is a devotee of the devil, she gets her beauty and wealth from allying with the devil.

Not only that made the servant surprised, he also saw Lady Lilya sucking the blood of a girl and eating her heart. It was a condition he had to do if he wanted to obtain immortality. The waiter told the entire community that no one believed but when Lady Lilya was gone, the entire Westtrink village agreed to see if what the maid said was true or not.

I was also among them, we went to look down at the basement to confirm what the waiter said and it turned out that what the waiter said was true even more crazy, we found the men who were Lady Lilya's husbands dead and dried up. We suspect that their blood was used as a bath by the Lady because there was a bathtub full of blood that could not freeze there.

Not only did we find the bodies of the Lady's husbands, we also found that the children born by the Lady had already become the victim. All Westtrink residents were furious, they burned down the house of the Lady who was away. They waited for the lady to come back and judge her but she knew what the citizens were going to do. Lady Lilya was furious, she killed everyone who knew who she was but I got away with it. As a result of the anger, a curse was given by Lady Lilya to all the people of Westtrink village. Therefore, the curse remained so that the village became a cursed village.

Lady Lilya went into hiding. Some say the Lady hid in a village but others say she was dead after giving birth to her child. No one knows much less that the incident has been decades but in recent years, news of a cult that took the victims of young girls back heard in the palace of Kent Arsia.

Alena stopped reading for a moment and turned to look towards Lucius. Somehow he suspected that everything had to do with Kent Arsia but that was what happened because the devotees were in the kingdom. Alena is back reading with Lucius, all the more interesting.

The kingdom of Kent Arsia was a prosperous kingdom, at that time the queen had no children. Queen Hana and King Leon made every effort to obtain offspring. Here I don't dare to write too much but they have two daughters, Arabella and Ernest. Lady Lilya was revived, the ritual came back to life and the victims fell back.

I wrote this after I heard Ernest was slandered to be a witch and was left with my little life I wanted so badly to help him but I couldn't. Only the Holy Order can help me convey what I wrote. Poor princess, my, she was made a scapegoat for what she did not do when she was the daughter of Princess Mauren who died of a strange disease and in fact Mauren's daughter was the last descendant of Lady Lylia.

"What?" Alena was surprised, and so was Lucius. So Ernest was a descendant of Lady Lylia and not the daughter of queen Hana? Alena looked in shock, Lucius moved and stepped away. They both looked at each other with the same thoughts. Is what was written in the book true?
