Tied to a pole, Xander sat down on the wooden floor and looked at what was in front of him silently. Behind him, I was doing the same thing by turning my back on each other.
The coolness of the night on the mountain accompanied by high torches makes the atmosphere now a little gripping.
In an atmosphere like this, Xander tells all his problems in the past, ranging from how his father's nature to the end where he must be forced to separate from his lover.
Note: The story is almost the same as the one Stevent told in the Prince's Chapter in Part 8. Do not want to repeat the same story, so if you forget to go back to that chapter.
It's just, there's a little debate in Xander's version of the story.
I felt a fairly strong manipulation power from him.
He said in his story:
"A moment after finding out my lover was threatened by my father, I became very angry..."
"Of course, my sister doesn't know about it yet, so I can't go blind."
"I immediately carried with me the angry feeling of acting to do what my father wanted..." As he said that, his mouth curled into a smile. "And when he no longer suspected me and considered me as his loyal servant, I began to carry out my plan."
"I got my dad planning a letter from the legendary killer, Cike Nuwang"
"By giving a little respect and a visitation to him, he foolishly did that."
"At the moment after that incident, I immediately made a scenario where I left the house to look for my ex-lover. And as you already know, my real goal is not to search for it, but to survive the attack of Cike Nuwang."
"My brother is still young so the assassin can't possibly mess with him, while my mother... He already knew the dangers of father's plan, so he pretended there was a business assignment."
"My mother at that time was very resigned, he knew he (father) would not listen and considered what my mother said was just a talk of support."
Feelings of heaviness, joy, pleasure, contentment, and a bit of awsih are formed from the sentence after the sentence.
But even so, of all the feelings that accompany his sentence, only the feeling of contentment is the majority of those sentences.
When I saw Xander's facial expression, I thought a little about things ahead. Is that look the face that I will make when I spend it?
Speaking of women, she said she had a lover, and she was definitely not the princess.
From how her father balked at the relationship between the two of them, it seemed that the woman was a commoner.
......................
From beginning to end, I didn't get the name of her ex-boyfriend. Is it just a fictional story?
No, her grinning mouth became the mark it was all genuine.
"What happened to him..." I tried to ask him, but my voice seemed too heavy to continue. "...To your ex-boyfriend."
As he asked that, Xander showed no sign that his lips would move. He just kept silent and dumbly stared blankly at the wilderness.
"Hmmm..." I give up, getting into a situation like this is not a good thing.
"What does this have to do with what's happening now?" I threw in my question and changed it to a new one.
He lowered his head and looked at the dull wooden floor that became the background of the pole.
"He's..." His voice stopped, but there were signs he wanted to continue. "...He's coming back, right in front of me." He repeated the first word.
From the arrangement of the sentences, I can conclude that the person is...
"Your ex-lover?" I made sure in a cold tone of confusion.
Nodding up and down became a silent answer from him. He was like a puppet driven by a machine.
"It could be obvious" Instantly I reflexively almost asked who he was.
I can't go beyond my limits, right now I'm just an ear for her who's depressed.
"What do you want to ask?"
"No, it's not..."
"In that case, I can only say a few things to you."
I was a little bit surprised by his statement.
What'd he want to say? Moreover, this is special to me.
"I'm sorry." A feeling of guilt accompanied that sentence. "Because of me, he's like this, and because of me, too, all this happened."
"..."
I can only be silent because I still haven't heard the situation.
"If I had been really looking for him then, maybe none of this would have happened, nor would he have fallen into that abyss."
He offended his ex-girlfriend, probably... But from his words, it was clearly his ex-girlfriend.
Fall into the abyss? Whatdoes thatmean? Was he a criminal or something?
"..." - ".I still don't understand at all, not even connecting at all.
"From the way you shut up by putting on that face, it seems you still don't understand." He was disappointed with my observation. "Explain it directly. Widya, my ex-lover was the mastermind behind all the incidents just before until after yesterday's exam."
Hearing that, my body stiffened a little and felt a chill run through my skin, my hair that had just stood up from the cold was now standing up more and more because of that statement.
"Huh? She's she? How come?"
After all, I still could not show this shocked look. I need to stay relaxed.
Not to mention this information was information that surprised me a little. If I can poke it all out, maybe I can get something good.
"You know the SANGKUNI company?" Xander unceremoniously explains who Widya really is.
Hearing that name, I immediately looked up and was a little relieved. Not because the problem is over, but because everything is getting clearer.
"He is the leader..."
When I said that, all my consciousness seemed to be taken away by something. The hot and cold weather fused like it wanted to blow me up from the inside.
"He's... That's leader?" Answer me stammering.
This was no longer just madness, but beyond my reasoning. I didn't even think that Sangkuni was a woman. Moreover, he was the one who Xander had loved.
Then, who was the mysterious person at the time I was in that earthen building?
Without a new sentence from Xander, we could only be silent to each other as we looked at the stars on a beautiful, silent night.
Some later, Stevent and Dahlia showed up and worried about both of us.
Nothing new happened after that, I took Dahlia, with both Xanders, home by leading them. After all, the big Xander can't walk normally and that's what we have to do.
The night ended in exhaustion as we had to descend a hill filled with mystical and high powers.
While at the base, our feet feel a sore sensation that has never been felt.
......................
New day...
I should have gone to school this morning, but...
A bet is still a bet, then I'll keep it, even if it's a bet on myself.
Right now in front of me was a wide wooden table typical of the company's higher-ups, a glass wall adorning the side of the room, the entire contents of Ningru City visible only from that glass wall.
An old grandmother sat behind the table and looked at me with a suspicious look at me. The wrinkle on his old face was clearly visible from my catch.
"Rasyid Londerik, what do you want? How dare you face me with such a look." He's ready to finish me off at any moment.
It does not look scary, but the assumption that he is the God of Anitya is inevitable. I miss my mouth a little, and I will end up in dust.
"I hope you have enough to trade for your current inappropriate attitude."
