”Hmmm ... is it just fabrication? Or a prank from someone who wants to be pitied?“ asked King Azer with his deep voice containing innuendo and demands.
”No, His Majesty the King ..“ refutes Apan with bowed respect. Affirming Queen Arenda's words can be trusted.
King Azer shook his head to listen, but his gaze was straight ahead at the large door of the main hall of the palace.
”Apan ... is a good man, my best friend who makes me dare to dream .. he also made me able to survive until now ..“ flattered Queen Arenda with a serious look at her husband. Meant to show that Apan was a good man and a big influence in the life of Queen Arenda.
“Hmmm .. enough to make me want to say 'wow', but it doesn't make me want to applaud...that is, I don't believe it yet,” complains King Azer still looks forward in his dignified pose.
The atmosphere became silent, the dignified audience mostly put on a serious face mimic, the rest mused.
Either King Azer demanded clarification here, in the presence of a dignified person, or he was about to humiliate his own wife.
“What does my king want to humiliate his own queen?” remove Queen Arenda.
King Azer suddenly clasped his hands proudly and confidently, then dared to say, “I have been so loyal to you, my wife, or dignified beauties, not once have I been attracted to them ... except for a woman who made me dizzy until now .. that is you, Queen Arenda ..”
Then when his two hands returned to the previous pose, the glowing face of King Azer looked at Queen Arenda.
“I am a faithful king .. Then, show your loyalty to me .. and for that, you .. can be a role model in this Western nation, he said,” King Azer's toilet with great emphasis in every word, while patting his chest so proudly, hoping to be obeyed.
Queen Arenda was there. Confused to show his loyalty. He was not betrayed.
King Azer looked away again, looking forward, as if looking to wait.
It's just that, even though the second by second continued to pass, filling the atmosphere in silence and full of questions. Queen Arenda was silent in confusion.
Apan who can not do much is also fused in silence. Making it look like the world is waiting for a crucial decision from Queen Arenda.
Not knowing, still do not know what evidence the king wants, or what is able to prove that Queen Arenda is loyal and King Azer believes. He doesn't know yet.
Until because it was a little bored and did not want to waste his precious time, King Azer sparked an argument of cue clues. “Queen Arenda .. Is not often your smooth fingers are frowned upon by your male friend? Isn't hugging also you do? Though he is just a friend.”
Whether the fact was obtained from where, as far as the reality that Queen Arenda titi, never felt herself to open her identity.
“Isn't that normal as a friend? Doesn't my husband have friends?” ask back Queen Arenda tried to defend herself.
“Normal? When my wife is censured even by her male friend, when hugged by her male friend is .. is normal? Whereas you never tell the story .. If you have a very close male friend, until when everything has been revealed, then you talk .. Is that normal? Is normal according to one-sided point of view only?” insinuation King Azer loudly and straightforwardly.
Queen Arenda began to feel guilty. Yes, her husband was right, she should have talked about her best friend since long ago, she was wrong.
Queen Arenda had unknowingly incised the wound on her faithful husband and it felt brazen.
Queen Arenda was still silent at the thought of her every action and feeling.
”What is your proof of loyalty? What proof? Don't embarrass the Fairy race as loyal creatures!“ firmly King Azer demanded impatiently.
”Prove ... or if not .. I'll make sure your best friend will never have a beating heart again!“ king Azer's decree was hard as if it did not want to be rejected and must be obeyed.
The bitterness, fear and confusion began to combine to hit the Arenda tribe ensnaring him stronger as time ticked. Queen Arenda fell in contemplation.
Even Apan who tried to defend his sabbath was immediately rejected by King Azer.
”Silent witch! You have your own punishment!“
Apan was helpless, he did have magic, but it was not enough to defeat the Azer King guarded by magic anyway. There is no reason to kill King Azer.
Most likely, Apan will be given military sanctions.
Until again, the reality is quite tense is filled by the argument of the decree of Queen Arenda. ”Alright, because my fingers are frowned upon by another man ... I will cut off my fingers as proof.“
The left hand of Queen Arenda also manifests machete. What he immediately implemented earlier had been carefully contemplated.
Mentally stunned Apan, not expecting. But he was only able to flinch in a dilemma. ”A-Arenda.“
The entire dignified audience grew more and more serious looking at them. It was as serious as watching their favorite theater play.
King Azer was stingy, himself nailing himself as if waiting for certainty. No matter what his wife did was painful, for King Azer was convinced that this was the last way to prove loyalty.
Thus, there will be no gossip that defames either his wife or his family.
'Srep' cut right fingers and fingers flick Queen Arenda, until her teeth bit each other with a hardened jaw, resisting pain.
Apan who wanted to help Queen Arenda was even blocked by the order of the king of the West, so that Apan did not touch again Queen Arenda. ”Stay glued there young man! Don't touch anyone's wife or whose possessions will uproot your life!"
"And this is an order from your boss!“
For that Apan was back again flinching in the burden of a dilemma. Triggering his breath a little unstable, along with an uncontrollable heartbeat.
However, even though Queen Arenda had grimaced holding her hand due to pain. King Azer was not satisfied, he did not even display an impression of empathy or pity; he wanted it.
More than that, the atmosphere became more tense when King Azer's right hand suddenly manifested a razor and the order reappeared from him.
”Cut your right hand with this razor ..“
Queen Arenda put on a painful face and bitten, she looked at the razor thrust by her husband. But no argument came up. Somehow Queen Arenda understood her husband's wishes.
Apan even berserked by it, except for the serious dignified persons, but kept under control, listening only.
Not much to complain, Queen Arenda grabbed the golden razor, with a bitter and ironic face, she briefly stared at the razor with meaning.
'For the sake of proof' yes, 'for the sake of proof', those two words were humming softly in the queen's head. He loved King Azer. Loved her husband very much.
”I want my wife to feel every inch, every milli, every second of pain .. in order for you to understand, the pain that is in my chest ...,“ said King Azer who indirectly exposed his heartache and jealousy.
So without hesitation, with all her might, Queen Arenda began to slash her own right hand, slashed from her shoulder.
”GAH ... ARGH ..!“ even Queen Arenda was bitten, screeched and occasionally held her breath.
Because that was the commitment of the queen, although quite ironic and painful, she accepted it.
”This is outrageous ..!“ chirps —tengkiling— Apan with a look of horror at the actions of Queen Arenda.
Seeing a golden opportunity. King Azer suddenly said, ”If you do not want to see your friend suffer... Cut off 90 percent of your best friend's right hand with a katana, thus, the pain will not feel.“
Apan was flabbergasted and his net turned to Queen Arenda who had now knelt down resignedly, slashing her right arm, causing golden blood to wash over her hands, even more beginning to drip onto the floor.
As soon as Queen Arenda did so, the pain would be even more painful when she had to cut her own bones.
”Gyaah .. haah-haah .. gah ...“
At first glance Apan looked at King Azer who remained standing firmly looking apathetic. But he certainly listened to her with that attitude.
Apan's anteater hurriedly jumped and approached Queen Arenda while giving a proposal. ”Save your hands let me cut quickly!“
Unfortunately though the idea is good enough for the current conditions. Queen Arenda shook her head resignedly; she refused.
”Not ... no. .. no...“ He even continued to slash his own hands like the neck of a slaughtered cow.
”KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ..!“
That cry of pain managed to fill the atmosphere within this main hall. Queen Arenda was getting excited and used her strength to cut the bones of her right hand hard enough.
Half the flesh of his shoulder had been torn off, shedding golden blood, displaying the wounds he had suffered.
Apan really can't do anything. His breathing rose and fell in a dilemma of bitterness.
Until the shout once more from the Queen of Arenda, emphasized all her deeds and words. If loyalty to her husband is absolute!
Right, had cut off Queen Arenda's right hand by herself using razor blades. Golden blood gushed the floor around him. Enough to make the whole person frown so dumbfounded.
King Azer was aware of his wife's proof. Not only that, Queen Arenda with her determination and strength left, she was able to get back on her feet with a stumped hand.
Stand strong as a person of high dignity. To the extent that the flat face that seemed without expression was real, hinting at the success he presented concrete evidence.
However, with his success, King Azer said, ”Good ... That is enough to prove your loyalty, never cure that hand with a pill or anything!“
Sontak Apan objected to the statement, even Queen Arenda to fall in contemplation.
Already no matter also Queen Arenda, she was wrong and said not to want to lose her husband's sincere love.
More complaints from Apan were immediately interrupted by King Azer's raised right hand, a gesture reluctant to be rebutted.
So silent in the sluggishness of Apan there, absolutely he did not have power, could not stop the decree.
In the wake of the shocking incident, there has been or even did not dare the honorable audience to comment.
Then along with the time, without much ado, calmly and still exuding an impression of authority, King Azer twisted his body. Back to step steadily towards his throne again.
