AYU MBOK
In hostages

"Remove me!!You guys don't know who I really am?! I come from a noble family, and I am a Crown Princess!you know what punishment you got after the royal guards found me here in this condition?! you will all be put to death!Akh, let go of me, my hands hurt all!"Shouted the princess Kinanti while whining and threatening the citizens who had taken hostage, even though they did not mean evil, they are just desperate and impatient because they have not received any help from any party.

"You think we care!? Precisely good if you turn out to be a noble, and what?you're a crown princess?! hahaha, but your behavior in no way reflects a crown princess!but it's okay!It will be very profitable for us! that way we'll get more by negotiating, because it turns out our captives are important people!not really, friend! Ahhaha!"One of them even laughed out loud and there was no fear at all once the name of the royal higher-ups called princess Kenanga.

"Haha, we'll get help soon because the most important person from the palace is here!we're gonna win a lot, guys!"Add the other one.

"You're wrong! They'll arrest you once they find us here, and you'll be severely punished for daring to harm and abduct the crown princess, so let us go and get us back to the relief post!"Shouted Princess Kinanti with her arrogance that did not diminish even in a dire condition.

"we will then kill them! let it be a warning to them, if we don't play with our threats!"Say the other one while Bu brandishes their weapons.

"Wait, wait, wait! you better be patient!we're not going to give you any help, we're looking for a way to get into your area, as you know, the road to here is completely covered by landslide material!"Neneng tried to calm them down.

"That's why!!if you really care about our situation, you should do everything you can to reach us, what proof!?I see with my own eyes, you guys are busy taking care of those in other areas!you are really unfair!"Shouted one of them with a furious rage.

"we are really sorry if we have not been able to provide maximum service and assistance, we lack volunteers and there is no help from others, we are waiting for additional energy and additional assistance again, I'm sure today help for you will come soon!"

"we have to wait how much longer?!what until we die?! look at your children, they are in pain and starving!"

"He's a doctor, we can treat the sick and check on those who need medical help, we'll also try to find food from edible forests,let's focus first on how we can survive while waiting for help to arrive! For that, let go of our bond first, we promise we will not run away and will help you as much as we can!"

Neneng tried to convince them and was supported by the other hostages with a reassuring nod of the head.

"Yes, he's right!do you think, do you not feel sorry for your families who need immediate medical help!?I can check them out and take care of those who are sick!"Said princess Darwanti, a would-be crown princess who also passed to the third stage, she was an experienced expert doctor.

The victims of the disaster stared at each other as if looking for the right decision.

And finally they agree with what the hostages offer, they release their bond except for Kinanti's daughter,

He remained tied up because the citizens did not like his arrogant and menacing habits, he was really insensitive to their situation which was really depressed by difficult circumstances.

Neneng and the hostages also tried to provide assistance to them as much as possible, there are those who check their weak conditions, there are those who care for the sick victims, he said, as another helps find tubers around the village so that it can be cooked and eaten as a stomach booster.

................,.

"How are all the food and medicine ready?!"The crown prince made sure everything went perfectly to immediately provide assistance to the isolated area and was soon able to rescue the hostages who turned out to be Raden Ayu was also among those kidnapped.

The crown prince was so anxious, he was afraid that something unwanted would happen to Raden Ayu and the other hostages.

"His Majesty, even tents, sleeping pads and clothes are also ready to be sent by helicopter, but the problem is, the problem is, their area was on a steep spot and there was no wide place for the heli to land there!"Report the bodyguards in charge of taking care of all the relief materials.

"You just do it in a plan, I, Grand Prince Satria, Grand Prince Airlangga and some of the guards will try to approach them by land, Grand Prince Susena, Prince Duma and Prince Arjuna remain on standby in this area, those here also still need a lot of help,,!"The crown prince gave all the Princes who were deliberately sent by the palace to descend into the currently precarious disaster area, even the selection process of the Crown Princess was forced to be postponed because of natural disasters that befall and more must be immediately handled.

"Ready Your Majesty!We will do it according to orders!"

The other said in unison, except for the Duma Prince, it seems like he has his own plans to destroy the crown prince's reputation in the presence of the people who are currently eager for a hero figure to help them.

The Duma prince told his subordinates to kill the hostages and provoke the citizens into hating the Crown Prince so that they wanted to eliminate the crown prince themselves which they deemed useless.

...****************...

"Slerpp!blaise!"

"Let'soo!"

Shouted one of the residents, one of the hostages fell because of being hit by an arrow that came from nowhere.

"Let'soooooo!"

"Yahaaaaa!

Everyone was ragged, they all panicked and ran for cover.

Neneng and the other volunteers who were caring for the injured victims were no less surprised, he said,,

Residents swiftly recaptured the hostages and pointed the weapons back towards their necks and used as shields so that no more attacks occurred.

"You lied!! he said we'd get help soon, but the proof is we're under attack, what this is called justice!"One resident yelled at Neneng as their protest, disappointed that instead of the help they received, they were surrounded and ready to be slaughtered.

"I told you this from the beginning, but you don't believe me and you trust him! just be true to what I say! you will all be slaughtered and put to death now!"Princess Kinanti's words further enraged them.

Jamba!

"Let'soo!"

Another one of the fallen hostages was shot using arrows, they grew more panicked and frightened.

"Make them stop attacking and lay down their weapons, or you'll be the ones we're going to slaughter!"Said one of the residents to Neneng.

Neneng tried to find the shooter who had not appeared, he intended to give a signal to stop attacking, but after being observed, Neneng was sure they were not the palace guards, there were no palace attributes they were wearing, but after being observed, Neneng was sure they were not the palace guards,and oddly enough they weren't after the citizens, but it seemed like they were intent on slaughtering the hostages.

"Wait on!! They are rebels!are you not aware?! they intend to slaughter us hostages, and not go after you! they don't use the attributes of the government, so I'm sure they are the other party who intends to provoke us!"Neneng said as he continued to be on standby and look for enemy figures who did not know how many they were.

"Don't believe him again, it's been proven that his speech is just a joke!"Other words, they no longer want to believe the word Neneng said, the results are always disappointing.

Suddenly the attackers surrounded them, their numbers were quite large and they were ready to slaughter anyone in front of them now.

"Who are you really, and what is your purpose in attacking us!?"Shouted one of the citizens who was their leader.

"We are told by the crown prince to slaughter you all! you are rebels who endanger the kingdom!"Reply to their commander while continuing to point a gun at the citizens.

"Don't provoke!I know you're not from the palace!then why did you kill the hostages!? show your identity as a bodyguard if you're really ordered by the Crown Prince, show your papers!"

Shouted Neneng boldly.

Sretta!

One arrow slid into Neneng's body, but suddenly the arrow from the other direction deflected him until the arrow broke before hitting Neneng's body.

There are attackers from the opposite direction, one by one the enemy fell under attack by the other party, it looks like reinforcements have arrived, now Neneng can breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled happily, he said, because he knew them with confidence, Finally the Princes came at the right time.
