The Will of Young Master

The Moon River Kingdom (Part 1)

Aunt Rima's face was as pale as cotton. His heart wanted to uncover the veil but he was shackled by the promise of loyalty to Asmarini. For a Shinayang, breaking a pledge of allegiance or oath will invite bad destiny until the end of his life. But for the sake of the nieces and nephews he loved so dearly, he was willing to sacrifice his life for them.

"Come, Bi. We're going to the study." Ray understood, there was something Aunt Rima wanted to say but I don't know what made her mouth heavy.

"What does Aunt want to say?" Ray immediately asked after they faced each other sitting on the sofa, "This is safe, this room is the safest room after the main room room that I and Litha occupy."

"Son Rayyendra, answer Auntie's questions before Bibi delivers anything related to your wife's family origins."

Ray nodded, Aunt Rima sighed heavily, "What is Nak Rayyendra's love for Litha?"

"Very big, so big that it fills the eyes, where the eyes look, my love for Litha will always be found."

Aunt Rima chuckled, "Including if Litha threatens Pradipta Corp.?"

Ray was aghast, what did this Aunt mean? Eyebrows wrinkling.

"Jawab it first."

Ray's turn sighed heavily, Pradipta Corp. was his life and Litha was also his life. How could he choose one of them, were they both now in his grasp. But why did Aunt Rima ask what was difficult to answer, what was so serious as to reveal Litha's true identity.

"Auntie, both are precious to me. I would be in trouble if I chose one, but if I had to take one off, I would hold Litha's hand until my last breath.

The middle-aged woman sobbed, not sad but very happy. Litha found her true soulmate, "May I hold you, son."

Ray smiled, he stood up and spread out his hands to welcome his wife's aunt's embrace.

"Thank you, thanks. Aunt and Uncle are old, not strong enough to keep our nephews, at least Litha has been in the right hands," said Aunt Rima patted Ray on the shoulder in her arms

"Auntie doesn't have to worry about Tisha and Vania. I'll keep them just like Litha, until I'm sure they're in good hands, just like Auntie is doing right now."

Aunt Rima sobbed and hugged Ray more and more.

"Ma-I'm sorry, your clothes are wet with Auntie's tears. Happy tears."

"Now tell me what Aunt wants to tell me."

Aunt Rima was no longer facing Ray, now she was sitting next to him.

"Litha's real mother's name is not Asmarini."

"My lord Princess, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ... I broke my vow. I plead for good destiny to be with me until the end of my life. I beg you, Ragnaya ... My lord Princess, forgive me, all for the sake of your children ... "

Aunt Rima strengthened her heart, affirming her choice to tell Ray everything.

"I mean Aunty?" ray asked confusedly.

"Did Nak Rayyendra ever hear of the Kingdom of Ragnaya, or better known as the Moon River Kingdom in the BX area?"

"Engg ... Yes, I have read the history of PT. Pradipta Jaya Coal's. There is a royal approval sheet that Bibi mentioned earlier in addition to the local government. The late Grandma who built it said that many of the royal requirements were compared to the government before getting mining permission."

"Although BX has a regional government but the regional rules are in accordance with the rules of the Moon River Kingdom and Tuanku the King has a higher power and authority than the Governor."

"Well! It turns out that such a royal story still exists today huh, Bi?"

Ray was a bit confused, why his aunt whom he had previously known as an innocent, emotional and fierce middle-aged woman, now looked so much different. The way Aunt Rima spoke and explained the sequence, detailed and elegant, resembled his wife.

"The Moon River Kingdom is the largest kingdom on the island of EX, encompassing not only the BX area but also AX and CX. But the center is in one of the cities in the BX area."

"Sorry, Bi. Why does Aunt seem to know so well about this kingdom? And what does this have to do with Litha?"

"The names of Tisha's biological mother, Litha and Nia are not Asmarini as they have been known. She was a Crown Princess of the Moon River Kingdom whose identity was switched off."

"Hahhhh!"

Ray jumped from his seat back to hear the fact his mother-in-law had been looking for.

"My Grand Master Crown Princess Dewi Anjani Dirayya is the name and title of the work owned by your mother-in-law."

Ray had a hard time swallowing his saliva, even in his shadow never crossed. This is a big surprise ...

"Auntie is Shinayang My Lord Princess, your mother-in-law. Shinayang is a special servant of the royal family who is only reserved for the King, Queen and children of the King and Queen. As Nak Rayyendra had Assistant Yan, more or less so. The difference is that Shinayang is in charge of guarding, accompanying and meeting the needs of my Master until the end of his life. The selection of this Shinayang through certain criteria, processes and rituals. When chosen, that is where the life of Shinayang is bound by a pledge of allegiance or an oath to serve whatever the words of my Master, good or bad. If we break then bad destiny will lurk us until the end of life. Bibi became Shinayang My Lord Princess when Bibi was 10 years old and My Lord Princess was 8 years old. Shinayang was indeed chosen who was the same age or slightly older than my Master."

"So Bibi knew Litha's mother from the age of 8?"

"Officially yes, but Bibi has known him since he was a toddler in the royal family, because one of the criteria for becoming a Shinayang is a member of the royal advisory family. Uncle Aunty is my Lord King's advisor who handles the finances of the Moon River Kingdom."

Ray was still digesting all of Aunt Rima's stories, like the colossal drama he watched with his wife but this time the facts immediately intersected with her.

"Because Shinayang's duty is to serve my Lord for life, he is not allowed to marry and have a family. As a guarantee, Shinayang was castrated the day after uttering his vow."

"Eh, what!! It's a violation of HAM, Bi. It can be reported."

Aunt Litha chuckled, "Our royal system is closed and our execution is underground. So we're going to solve the problem before it gets out. Cruel indeed, but it was necessary to maintain the tradition. Strangely all the people do not mind the rules that have existed since before the colonial era of the western country. And Shinayang is a prestigious position because being the closest person to my lord and his family will be a family that is seen in high strata."

"Why was my mother-in-law's name changed?"

Aunt Rima was silent for a moment, taking memory 30 years ago.

"Your mother-in-law was born from the womb of my Lord the Queen Mother. As the first and only child, she was titled Grand Master Crown Princess, who would be appointed as Her Majesty if the King died. Although the King has a son from his other wife, but the one recognized in the rules of the Moon River Kingdom is a child born from the womb of My Lord Queen regardless of gender. If a Queen cannot provide a child within 5 years of becoming a princess or crown prince, then the title of Queen will be removed and given to another wife of the King who has children. This dethroned queen should not stay in the palace because it is considered a disgrace, she will mingle with ordinary people while still getting benefits from the kingdom.

The general tradition of the kingdom which is always related to politics is usually wrapped with the marriage of members of the royal family. My lord Princess Anjani, Litha's mother, was betrothed to a Prince from the CX district, although my Lady refused, she was still required to marry the Prince after studying in City Z.

While studying in City Z, My Lady met and fell in love with a level older brother who eventually became your father-in-law. Their love struggle is very heavy, Run leave their lecture, whereas Aryasena just wait for the advanced schedule for the thesis exam. Moving from one city to another removes the trail. In the city of A Tuanku the Princess and Aryasena married under the hands of. One afternoon while waiting for Aryasena in the city park home from work we were caught by the royal troops and brought before the 14th King Pursawarman, Litha's grandfather.

My aunt and my Lord Princess received a whipping gift directly from the King, but all that did not melt the love of my Lord Princess, even loudly she declared that she had married a farmer boy. As a result of his statement, your Aunt and mother-in-law were expelled, and the Queen Mother was stripped of her title and replaced by my Lord Princess Malina, the second wife of my Lord King. Likewise, My Lord Princess is no longer the Crown Princess and is replaced with Prince Drana as the Crown Prince.

When we wanted to leave EX island, Shinayang my mother My Lord Princess told us, so we were careful and hid because Prince Drana would never be able to calm down if my Master Princess was still alive. He still feels threatened because if at any time the King forgives the mistakes of My Lord Princess, then the title of Crown Princess will be returned and the Queen Mother will also return to the palace.

Sure enough, we were chased and hunted. We even hid in the street sewers all night before we made it out of EX Island. When we arrived at the capital, My Lord Princess asked one of her friends to fake death and replace our resident identity in exchange for all of my Master Princess's personal savings equivalent to the price of one luxury house unit in the Capital.

With the rest of the dime we had, we went to City A, to meet Aryasena with a new identity. My lord a princess named Asmarini and her own Aunt named Rima Wastini. Thankfully, when we disappeared without any news, Aryasena was still faithfully waiting for my Master Princess to return by his side. Then a new life begins with the marriage of Aryasena and Asmarini, and Bibi finally also meets the soul mate with Aryasena's own sister.

For the Moon River Kingdom, my Lord the Princess and her Shinayang have died, but the King considers us still in the world because we have not found our bodies. Prince Drana lost track and never hunted us again. But ... In the last few months, we have felt that something is lurking. Fortunately, my Lord's children are not with us.

We can't tell anyone because my Lord Princess told me never to bring anything up about the Moon River Kingdom. The less you know, the safer Tisha, Litha and Vania are from the hunt for Prince Drana."

Ray gawked in disbelief at all, the story Aunt Rima had just told was like the one in the movies.

Moon River? Crown Princess? The shinyang?
