Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
TROUBLES
“Hey look isn't she the concubine's waitress?”
“Yes she is a waitress who does not give her respect to concubines Maura and the Queen Mother”
“See his appearance seems like he did not serve concubine Calista well”
“Haa pity that concubine after her servant all went and even died she was even betrayed her new servant”
“You're right, but instead she's a damned princess so no problem”
“Not that we should thank him?”
‘Hey hey your voice sounds so clear stop whispering like that!’ my mind's upset.
I cared nothing for them and walked into my room to take a bath cleaning all these imprints.
I came out of the bathroom wearing my nightgown. My nightgown was not pajamas, but more like a plain white kimono but not too thin, enough to cover my body so as not to be seen but not to cover the cold of the night.
“tok..tok..tok..” heard the knock on my room door. Who bothers me this night, when I intend to rest for a while and then see the state of Calista.
I opened the door and I found 2 guards standing at the door.
“What's up?” many confused. They just look at me, is there anything strange? I just use a nightgown without any makeup and my hair I also describe nothing.
“Our ally, you're the prime suspect of his poisoning a concubine.” They dragged me.
“Hey wait a minute, I don't understand whose concubine? I from noon was not at the concubine's palace.” said I was not happy.
“Concubine Calista is poisoned, and you're the prime suspect what alibi will you give later in front of the emperor when you say clearly not to be at the concubine's palace then where are you?”
“I? I was in the back Gazebo to learn to write!”
“We didn't find you there were only stationery and you hid where?”
“aa.paku..”
“Sign in and say to your excellency.” I was pushed to my knees on the floor. Damnit damnit! Knee hurts. I tried to stand by holding my sore knee.
“How dare you stand before the noble traitor!!” shouted one of them who was waiting for my arrival. I immediately got back on my knees, not because I said but my knees still hurt to stand up.
I look around me like you're in a courtroom with a judge, a defense, and a witness, and you hope a reliable lawyer can get you out of the way. But here I am alone as a defendant I mean a victim.
I looked in front of me My eyes met those brown eyes, yes the handsome man I met at the lake, the man they called the Emperor. I turned next to him, I was looking for Rey. Rey I can take her role as a lawyer who defends me because I'm with her.
“Where have you been? How could you poison your master” an old man who was near the emperor opened his voice.
“I didn't poison the princess!!” I'm upset about the allegations made.
“Do you have proof?” tanyakanya. Ah yes I am proof of what I can give I never understood about the law let alone the court.
“Do you have any evidence that I poisoned the princess?”
“Clearly only. You're not at the concubine's palace, even behind the servant's residence you're not found.” Haa of course was not found because I was in the park near the lake of the prince's residence.
“That can't be used as proof of old sir!” everyone was surprised by my stupidity. “Because I'm not there doesn't mean I did it! I'm nowhere that means someone else did it!” damn how I explain it. I can't say I'm practicing swordplay with Rey while Rey isn't here.
“Prisons him” I was surprised to hear this man called emperor instantly drop me as a suspect. The guards helped me stand up and took me to jail.
“Wait!” I said when I was standing with my feet even though it was still in the guard who was still holding my arm.
“This is your plan!” my shout glanced at the faces of the victorious smiling denizens of hell. “And you!” I stared intently at the man who gave me his word, whatever I might be considered presumptuous and in the law, the prison was waiting for me.
“You only see what you want to see just like them! And hear what you want to hear! Covering up all the truth in such a lowly way!” I shouted annoyed at the knee that was still in pain.
“Wait!” Zee suddenly entered the room. ‘Where did he come from, why not Rey’.
“Honor me brother..” says Zee. Zee looked towards me.
“So he only wears a thin nightgown inside the prison must be cold, if until he gets sick and dies is not it the same we let the original perpetrator get away.”
‘wait, means I'm just bait, to catch the original culprit? But how can you make others a victim! The palace is really scary. I cursed myself who used to want to stay in the palace just because of the Princess movie.
Zee took off his robe and put it on my shoulder. “Sorry, this is all I can do..” he said slowly on the sidelines. “Find Rey..” my word begs. Zee nodded in agreement. ‘hopefully Zee can be relied upon’.

“So how to use it?”
“Take it out of the sheath then insert it again.” he said indifferently.
I was curious to follow my brother's words, and he laughed a little at his brother who had been fooled.
“Ha?? Only in that way? You lied to me!”
“Hahaha.. Dad why do I have a sister like this?” asked my brother to the father who was reading the newspaper while looking at my silliness.
“Mother.. Why did you give birth to a sister like this?” ask my mother who is drying clothes.
“If there is no brother of yours, you will not be born.” replied the smiling mother.
“Mother defends who the hell!” I said annoyed to hear the answer.
“Hahaha, you know that there is no you home atmosphere will not be like this.” said mother stroking my head.
“So can teach me how to use it?” ask my brother who is still laughing.
“Alright, let me teach you”
My brother loved Japanese culture, and loved all kinds of stick-based sports, like kendo, kendo, and even softball. It is much different to me who likes music and art than sports.

The sunlight hit my eyes. I looked around me a lot of hay and dirty. Yes, I was in prison. But at least I didn't have a bad dream. Damn why the prison with a haystack is more quiet than a room with a thick mattress.
“You're up?” I raised my head to the source of the sound.
“What's up? I will forever not admit to things I never did!” I said annoyed. ‘why the main suspect who made me enter this prison came! Make my sweet dreams in vain!’ my grouse.
He just looked at me who was dressed like this rascal. I still wear my plain white nightgown and have been soiled for sleeping inside this prison.
“What did you do yesterday to make Calista's daughter poisoned?” why does he suck.
“Hah..” I just sighed harshly in front of him. “Which started, I told you I didn't poison Calista's daughter!!”
“I'm not saying you poisoned Calista's daughter. I asked where you were yesterday when it happened.” Said relaxed. He didn't accuse me this time.
“I'm with Rey” I'm finally honest even though I know this is not a good alibi because there is no evidence just a testimony from the accused.
“What do you guys do?”
“You're getting suspicious. Why did you study swordsmanship? You're just a waiter. And Rey would never teach a person who has no foundation at all, it's just a waste of her time”
“What's wrong with a servant learning swordsmanship? since I'm a concubine maid who has little guarding shouldn't I have the swordsmanship to protect her”
“You want to protect her?”
“Yes, I want to protect her. So there's no way I could poison him!”
The Emperor looked at me full of probes. Are you so suspicious of me right now?
“Where's Rey?” I was worried to see him looking at me suspiciously with his cold eyes.
“He was not in the palace. I told him to solve the problem in the village north”
“Ohh, you can ask Rey when she comes back. I was with him all day and was not at the concubine's palace
“Isn't that also your fault? You are a servant concubine of the emperor, you should be in the palace of concubines not in the place of a prince.” Fucking emperor! Why he always looks for my faults.
“Terden! If it was my fault, it is already. I was already in prison. And I take this as a punishment for my negligence that is not on the side of the princess, not as a defendant who has poisoned princess” I have really been lazy to face this one emperor. If it were not for his good looks I would not have answered at length.
He's still looking at me, this is really annoying.
“Your highness, please die this place. This place is not suitable for an emperor to step on. I've already conveyed everything, and you can leave here now” yes I've been really irritated and don't distinguish him from the others, he's a shitty guy.
If you ask me why I am disrespectful to an emperor, talking to him is not as polite as I am, you, that servant because I am not used to it. And when dealing with this annoying emperor it seems that there is no need to say politely, anyway if it is in the law because it is not polite also I am now in prison.
After the emperor left, I enjoyed my day in prison. Here I am still fed and drank, hopefully the food and drink are not toxic. Usually, if there is an antagonist, he will do everything possible to get rid of the intruder. I smell the food given, aunt has taught me how the characteristics of the food that has been poisoned both the smell, the color, and the texture.
‘hmm, it doesn't seem bad either, there's no sign of my inner poison’ then eat it.
“Meow.”
“Poko! How did you get in here?”
“Meow (pass the door)”
“Ya whatever..how is Calista doing? Has he improved?”
“Meow... meow... meow.. (he is still unconscious, it seems like someone wants to kill him slowly)” maybe someone else is just listening to the voice of a cat, but I I really understand what he's saying. Yeah, I've been crazy since I got stranded in this world.
“Killing him slowly? Poko can you check the food, drink, or medicine given to Calista? We have to help.”
“Meow.” Poko understood and went out of prison.

“Look at my brother, this traitor is so sorry” haa two hell creatures visit me.
“Didn't you guys poison the princess?” a displeased face was emanating from them.
“Do you know your punishment might increase if you dare to fight me and even accuse me” concubine Vera said arrogantly.
“Whose are you? You are not a queen mother, only a concubine of the previous emperor, hmm rather you are a widow.” Oh I don't know in this world they know the word widow or not, I just want to say it.
“Did you forget the standing of a concubine is higher than a servant like you!!” Maura was getting upset.
“You want your punishment to increase for insulting a concubine of honor?” concubine Vera threatened.
“I'm not insulting. Just telling the truth. That you're a concubine instead of a suri” looks once the initially calm concubine Vera starts to get distracted with my words, and I'm happy to feel victorious because it has provoked her emotions.
“Supervisor!” he shouted, several guards on guard came to face. “Law whip him 30 times for already daring to insult a concubine of honor!” the concubine Vera.
“A..what's that.wait..I'm not insulting just saying.. auu” my hands and feet hurt, my hands hurt from being pulled by force, I'm not insulting, and my leg hurts when I'm not standing up already pulled out of these bars. I lyrics towards the residents of Nereka, they smile with satisfaction. It's not me just to keep quiet looking at them.
“Oh yes did not you unconsciously agree that you are only a CONCUBINE not a queen mother, I said mockingly by emphasizing the word concubine. ”and that means I do not insult you, right? I just said Ke.nya.ta.an.nya” continued megal the word reality and managed to make him who had just stumbled to be very upset.
“Quick whip him!!” yells with annoyance. hahaha somehow instead of being afraid of the law of lash I was even happy to see him rampage.
I was laid face down on the bench that was provided. They started whipping me.
“Aww!! Aww!! Slow down aawww pain!!” damn it turns out in the whip is really painful. It might be true to say that if it's good not to overdo it, I remember how happy I was when I saw the annoyed faces of the concubines Vera and Maura.
In pain I kept counting how many lashes were thrown. Finally finished, there is another one.. “Aaaww..” why it still continues.
“Hey stop!! Aaww!! Goddamn it!!” I rolled so as not to get whipped again and fell off the bench.
“Hey I've calculated it's enough 30, you're over 3 times fucking lashes!”
“What's 30? I calculated it was just 5, didn't I?” he asked the other guards. ‘fucking they conspired my inner’ was upset.
“What is this?” Zee came at the right time.
“Hail prince. We just followed the concubine's order to punish her whip 30 times for already insulting them” the concubines she was referring to were Vera and Maura, because no other concubine in this palace was still healthy and daoat ruled.
“I didn't insult her, I just spoke the fact that she's just a concubine not a housewife I don't want to lose. “And you've whipped me over 30 times!! And say that just whipped me 5 times!!!” I said annoyedly pointing at the guards.
“What's true?” Zee stared at the guard with his cold gaze.
“Ti..no prince servant has not been up to 30 times lashes.” I am really upset with this guard. Without a second thought I undressed the kimono I was wearing, took all my hair to tuck forward, and left my back exposed.
“Zee, count how many lashes on my back this is, is this what they say new 5 times?!”
Zee clenched his hands in annoyance.I re-raised my shirt covering the wound that had already shed blood.
“Guard!!” shout Zee. A few guards came straight to the caller.
“Their whip 50 times.” Zee said
“Pa.pengeran servant confessed, I miscalculated his noble servant just following orders. Forgive the inaccuracy of the servant in counting” the guard was on his knees asking for mercy from Zee. Huuh whether all the guards in this palace are very stupid in counting.
“Cambuk meraka as much as 50 with a multiple count of 2.” said Zee with devil aura.
“Zee, three times, I want them to feel 3 times.”. Maybe Zee's aura is also covering me.
They were taken by the guards to be punished. Zee helped me stand up and gave me some topical medicine.
“I can wear it myself.” said I took the medicine.
“Alright..” Zee's face flushed, ha it turns out she can be embarrassed too. “Do you want to rest in the room only with such a wound it is better to be in the room. I can ask brother to give his permission”
“No need Zee, thank you. I'd rather be in jail than have nightmares in room”.
“You are indeed a strange girl” he said stroking my head. Haah I haven't heard him say I'm a strange girl.
