A GROAN OF FLICKERS IN THE NEXT ROOM
46
Maria came out of her room and started walking down the hallway to go to where the banquet was held. With a beautiful looking face and beautiful dress, Maria looked so charming that she made the king and Antareksa look at her as if stunned.
"You've come my wife?" the king said with a sweet smile.
Mary nodded her head and began to look for a place to sit.
"Sit in front of me. So that I could look at your pretty face" the king told Mary to sit opposite him who was automatically next to Antareksa.
Kumala looked up at Maria. He really felt jealous because the king continued to praise the beauty of Mary instead of her.
"That necklace is perfect for you to wear. Your white skin seems to make a bright impression with the color of the necklace. You really don't make me stop staring"
Kumala who was getting furious immediately kicked a fork on the table. Just contact the king and all the residents there staring at him.
"Let's eat. I think Maria is hungry" Kumala smiled cynically at Maria.
Maria who was aware with a dislike gaze from Kumala also casually took the food that had been served.
"Let's eat" Mary began to invite the king and Antareks who had been staring at her ever since.
Antareksa immediately feed food into his mouth and chew the food slowly. His heart felt bitter when he was next to Mary at this moment. Somehow he felt something strange when he was near Maria after doing something last night.
A few minutes Antareksa was stunned and just stared at his food because he seemed to feel something strange when Mary chewed food into his mouth.
"Repeat your food and if possible increase the food. Many dishes you may have never eaten before"
"Ba.baik" Mary answered briefly the king's words.
He was so unwell of the king's hospitality that he did so in front of everyone. Mary thought that the king might have fallen because he returned his every touch when Mary did so with disgust.
"You also eat a lot, so you stay young and can't snail. Hahahah" the raja terbahak meledek Kumala.
Some of the bodyguards behind her also held back the laughter to make Kumala feel embarrassed by the joke of her husband.
"I'm done! i'm leaving!" Kumala walked by leaving Mary, the King and Antareks, who continued to eat her food.
Kumala was so embarrassed and furious with the king's joke that he seemed to be no longer beautiful and old. It was fitting that Kumala would have covered hundreds of years old, even if he were still a human, he might have died.
But thanks to the knowledge he practiced and learned in this stealth world, Kumala can still take care of himself until he looks young even though his true form when becoming a demon is indeed very terrible.
The woman closed the door hard and walked towards the dresser. He looked at the face in the mirror and started muttering to himself.
"I'm still pretty. My face is the same as before. I think I'm the prettiest one here. Maria Takan might be able to defeat the beauty I have! yes really! she will never be able to match my beauty!"
"But what is this ? it's skin?" Kumala's eyelids look there are wrinkles at the end of the eye, making the woman continue to pull the skin of her face to tighten.
The more drawn the wider, the skin of Kumala's face is visible in the mirror. Then he was frustrated slamming all the items on his dressing table and began to fall on the floor.
"I misjudged it. He will surely defeat my position and he may change my position in the king's heart. Nah! this can't be allowed! I need to get him back home as soon as possible"
*******
The panicked king immediately took the water and gave it to Mary. Unlike him, Antareksa took his own water in a teapot and immediately finished his drink.
"What's wrong?" ask the astonished king.
"The food was so good, that I didn't properly chew it and immediately swallowed this food" Antareksa gave a flat excuse.
"Yes right, the food is great. I was just about to answer you but the food was just about to go down the throat" Maria gave an excuse.
"Oh so. You guys are indeed very compatible sister sisters. You're a woman who easily takes a Maria's heart. You managed to take my heart and now you can take my very cold sister's heart. You're a good brother-in-law to Antareksa"
Maria and Antareksa looked at each other and began to scoop the food back on her side.
"Later I'll spend the night with Kumala. It's a day for him, and tomorrow I'll come back to you. You don't grieve, you can spend your night with Antareksa"
The antarksa again choked when listening to the words of the king.
"You're crazy, huh?! you split your wife to me?"
"Are you not happy, brother? you're a good man and I'm sure you'll look after Maria for me. You don't have to have any more relationships with Maria. You can talk or tell us about our kingdom or tell us about our family tree. I just want you to be with Maria so she doesn't feel alone and has no friends to talk to"
Mary was stunned, how could the king let his wife back together with her own sister. Indeed, this world does not have good guidelines and tatak rama.
"I can sleep on my own" Maria began to express her opinion.
"No! I'm not gonna leave you alone! You have to be with Antareksa because he's the one I trust right now"
Antareksa smiled wryly and began to stop eating it.
"Do you really believe me? aren't you afraid I'm gonna touch your wife?" Antareksa began to ask seriously.
"Of course not. I trust you, but not completely. I know you're very cold to anyone including me your own sister.And unlike your attitude to Maria, you talk to her a lot even with a rude talk"
Maria started staring at Antareksa. He did not feel the difference in attitude from Antareksa to him as the king said.Main the case with Antareksa who felt camggung when stared at by the woman beside him. His heart was pounding and his tongue was stiff.
"I'm going to go to my room" Antareksa got up and left Mary and the king.
"Look at that guy. He was like a wolf. Cold and mysterious"
Maria smiled with a force. He was so uncomfortable when he had to be alone with the king let alone his gaze which seemed like it would pounce on him..
"I'm sorry, can I ask you something?"
"Have you given a present to the queen?"
"Well, who do you call queen? A win?" the king laughed when he heard Mary think that Kinanti or Kumala was the queen.
"I think she is" said Mary stopped when a pair of eyes caught her from between the doors of the room divider.
