One and Only
1 - Attempted Murder.


At a celebratory feast inside the modern royal harem palace, a backup dancer is invited to enliven the feast. A dancer with each fan in both hands moved with grace and amazement. The members of the harem were amazed to see it.


A royal advisor began to feel worried and had a bad feeling when he was invited to attend the party, the man opened a piece of his handkerchief while holding and hoisted it towards the front of his dining table. Behind his pretext is waving a personal handkerchief towards the dancer who hints at an interest with the performance shown, actually, the reason for waving a handkerchief is to let his handkerchief get exposed to the wind from the fan game of the dance property. When the wind hit his handkerchief until it was slightly torn because of the strong gust of the fan swing, the man looked carefully at his handkerchief. And that, doesn't look good!


"This handkerchief was slightly torn due to the exposure of such a powerful swing from the fan, proving that the fan was very sharp! Why bring such a sharp fan to dance? Isn't that dangerous? Oh, no!" at the end of his sentence, he realized something.


The royal adviser, Arvan Reynard, saw traces of a torn handkerchief line. On the edge of the tear line it is greenish brown, whereas the color of the handkerchief itself is bright blue. Arvan brought the handkerchief closer to smell the scent. There's a little foreign smell. It was not the smell of his handkerchief or the used swing from the rusty fan, after all the fan was very sharp, so it was impossible to rust and cause such smelly stains.


"There's something wrong with the fan! Both fans are problematic!" inner Arvan was so aware of something grave.


"King, Queen! Careful, that fan is poisonous!" shouted Arvan screech.


"Soldier guard!" the king cried as soon as he heard Arvan's screeches sign of threat.


Hearing Arvan's screech and the King's call order, the harem concubines screamed in panic and immediately felt uneasy.


Seeing the royal soldiers flocking into the room the backup dancer immediately changed the direction of the dance to attack his target at the venue of the party. His movements were faster than the troupe that had just entered the room and the dancer was directly targeting the King. As soon as the King was subjected to an assassination attempt, the shadow warrior who had always been guarding the King appeared out of nowhere like a lightning shadow. The shadow warrior was so protective of the King and became a shield for him, fending off the killer dancer's attack until he changed the target and aimed the fan at the Queen.


SRETT!


One of the fans managed to be fended away, but one of the other fans managed to hit the Queen. Precisely scraping and hitting the left neck of the Queen.


AKH!


"Queen!" screeched King


His Majesty directly supports the fallen body of the Queen. The killer dancer was instantly bent by the royal soldiers. The shadow warrior still faithfully protected the King who was hugging the Queen's body.


"Baginda King, thank God. You're okay .. uhuk!" queen's


"Queen, hangin! You can't fall asleep!" raja


The king did say that, but the Queen who was hit by the incision of the poisonous iron fan slowly closed both eyes.


"Call all the royal doctors right now!" The King's orders echoed throughout the room.


Arvan came closer.


"Before the other doctors arrive, let me stop the bleeding and the toxic effects on the wound of Her Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty. Please take Her Majesty the Queen to a room" Arvan said


"I myself will bring the Queen to my room" said the King


A concubine dared to come closer. She's Azkia Reynard. The younger brother of Arvan Reynard.


"Sister, what about the Queen?" ask Concubine Azkia


"Silver will try to stop the bleeding and remove the poison with existing medicinal ingredients. Please go to the house and get our tribe's antidote there" replied Arvan


"To home? That means I have to get out of this royal palace?" ask Azkia


"I will be responsible if anyone asks later. Take it and show this badge as a permit to the outside, you must be allowed. Tell me it's an emergency and I'll ask you. Come on, hurry up .. " said Arvan


"Alright," complied Concubine Azkia who immediately ran to get out of there.


•••


Just a few moments later, he sat down. There was a woman who hurriedly ran to get out of the region immediately by hugging something in her hand.


People from the tribe there were seen preventing her from leaving, but the woman was reluctant to buy time. The girl who saw the situation did not hesitate to come closer.


"Excuse me. Sorry, what's going on?" ask the girl


Seeing and hearing the commotion, made the girl dare to ask. Seeing people preventing the woman while kneeling made the girl realize something, namely the status of the woman who was trying to prevent her departure. Starting from clothes, makeup, to accessories used.


The young girl immediately bowed respectfully before the woman.


"Greetings, Your Majesty Concubine! Sorry for not being polite to ask, what is this? Is there anything I can help you with?" ask the girl


"I didn't expect to meet anyone from the kingdom here, moreover it was a Concubine. I am not interested in matters related to the kingdom, but it seems that this matter is quite complicated and also critical. I can't just close my eyes to see it," she said


"Who else are you? Are you trying to keep me from leaving, too?" ask the woman who turned out to be a King Consort.


"Concubine Azkia, please don't go. The situation is at risk, please postpone your departure for your own safety. Yourself is very important! Other than a Concubine from the King of this country, you are our tribal Lord Princess. Think once again of your safety" said one of those who prevented the departure of the Concubine.


"The safety of the Queen is more important, I must immediately bring this antidote," she said, Consort Azkia.


The young girl who was still bowing respectfully before Concubine Azkia straightened her body.


"What's wrong with Her Majesty the Queen?! Ah, no! Come on, I'll help. You're going to the royal palace, aren't you?" the young girl asked in panic.


"I shouldn't talk about the kingdom, but can you really help me?" ask back Concubine Azkia


"Whatever it is, I will help you with all my might" the young girl replied firmly.


"But out there tribal warfare has already begun. Don't put your safety at risk, "prevent the servants of the Western tribe.


"How will I believe you will be able to help my beloved daughter as well as the Concubine of the King of this country, Miss Wanderer?" asked a middle-aged man who had just come out from the western tribe's main residence.


"Dad!" peekik Concubine Azkia


"Lord tribal leader, you also know me. I promise and believe I can escort your daughter and Consort from the King of this country to his destination. My life is at stake" said the young girl confidently.


"Dad, I have to go now! Brother Arvan, it's waiting for me. It's an emergency, Dad! Please get permission from you," said Consort Azkia


"Okay, you can go. I entrust my daughter to you, Miss. Sorry to bother you again this time," said the Western Tribe leader


"Eh! Dad gave permission immediately?! He seems to know this girl, who is he? Why do I have to keep wearing a face veil?" inner Concubine Azkia


"It is my duty to help" said the girl


"I believe you, Miss Helper. You can definitely keep my daughter safe, just like you used to do with this tribe, "inward Western Tribal Leader.


"I'm sorry for my disrespect, Your Majesty the Concubine. Come on, this way. We'll ride horses faster." The young girl immediately pulled Concubine Azkia's arm to come with her.


"I'm not interested in royal matters, but the story is different when it comes to the Queen. Did he say, Brother Arvan? Isn't that not the name of the current King?" insinuations


The young girl who pulled Concubine Azkia's hand directly climbed onto the back of her horse after finding it.
