HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 28 (Bag. 4)
At 5:05 A.M., Royal Palace of Doria. (18 Hours after the abduction)
“Welcome, Your Majesty,” welcome a woman who should be the Queen of the Kingdom of Doria. But, her appearance of wearing only a simple dress without a crown on top of her head made Arro and Agnor frown on their foreheads.
Agnor bowed to show a respectful attitude. They were now inside the main palace of the kingdom. But, many things made Arro and Agnor feel strange. The main palace which should be the busiest place as the core of all activities in the kingdom looks very quiet, at this hour should the palace servants have prepared to welcome the morning. Even in the throne that should be occupied by King Doria looks very worn. Just by taking a quick look at it, they were certain, not just a day or two that the place was not cleaned.
“If I may know, in what order did the Prince of the Kingdom of Vasileon come to visit at this hour?” ask the Queen to Arro.
“We want to meet King Lostire.”
The woman was a little uncomfortable. It's like he's nervous.
“Queen Anggira. Where's King Lostire?” asked Arro again after seeing the Queen's suspicious gestures.
“King Lostire, is in his room. Please come with me, Your Majesty.”
Arro and Agnor looked at each other, Agnor also felt the same way. Agnor turned her gaze down the places that the royal guards were supposed to fill. But nil, Agnor and Arro barely found any troops and soldiers standing guard.
They followed Queen Anggira into a large room inside the palace. Arro and Agnor were both surprised to see the King's condition lying weak. His body was very thin and his eyes were tightly closed. Only a slow movement of his chest showed that the King was alive and breathing.
“What happened to King?” ask Arro, astonished.
“I don't know, Your Honor. King Lostire has been experiencing this for years.”
“Why has no one treated or reported to the Main Kingdom?”
“We don't know who to report to, Your Majesty? The Main Kingdom has been in chaos for a long time. It has been more than a year no one has occupied the throne of the King.”
Is correct. If only, his uncle Argus would have done nothing. Surely the four Great Kingdoms will not bear the consequences of the rebellion. Arro realized how great the chaos caused by the work of one person with ambition and selfishness.
“I, descendant of King Lexander Kyrillos, deeply apologize to the Kingdom of Doria.” Arro then looked down in showing his regret.
“Our arrival destination, want to ask about someone named ... Xavier.”
The look on Queen Anggira's face changed. His eyes radiated anger. “Why Your Majesty is looking ...,” Queen Anggira's greeting is interrupted. He turned his head towards Agnor who was also looking at him in wonder. “Xavier is the cause of chaos in this kingdom.”
Arro again did not understand. “How can it?”
Queen Anggira did not reply, she walked towards the large table which was not far from the King's bed. There, the Queen took out a piece of paper from the pile of paper. Once convinced, he handed it to Arro that paper.
Arro read it, Arro was surprised by the contents of the paper. It was written that all regulations, policies and taxes in the entire Doria region would be held by Xavier. The King also gave Xavier full power to lead the troops and soldiers of the Kingdom of Doria. The sign of the King's stamp was printed clearly under the paper.
“Xavier is just a marquess whom the King assigned to watch over the royal border. Why and how the King issued the order, I never knew. Because after writing and announcing the contents, the King began to fall asleep and did not wake up again until today,” lirih Anggira with tears.
Arro snorted weakly. “I will help the Kingdom of Doria when everything is done. I beg you to hold on in a moment.” Arro promised, he would recover all this mess.
Queen Anggira wiped her tears. He looked at Arro expectantly. “I will charge you that promise, Your Majesty. Our people have suffered so much.”
Arro nodded in understanding. “So, where is Xavier now?”
...----------------...
“Build!” Xavier's voice again echoed after he splashed foul water onto Bella's helpless body. But Bella's body didn't budge. There was no sign that he would wake up. Xavier, who was furious, approached Bella's body and hit her face hard. From the corner of Bella's lips and nose, she let out fresh blood. “Are you going to keep pretending like this?!”
While Adena was struggling and crying bitterly heard the sound of blows and blows that Xavier did. He screamed loudly but no sound was heard. Xavier .. has already removed the sound from Adena.
Bella's body has been severely injured, her wrists broken, her face bruised bluish. While the man who tormented her laughed very satisfied. “Good, you don't need to get up. I like your resigned attitude, and please don't die soon. It's so exciting,” muttered Xavier with a big smile and continued his torture.
Xavier who was enjoying his ‘ activities’ had to stop when one of the soldiers approached him and whispered something. Xavier's eyes grew bigger hearing him. The prince had come to see him himself. Not surprised, but he laughed. He was imagining what reward Argus would give him if he succeeded in killing the King's descendants.
