Queen Candidate
71

"When do we go back to the palace?" zhia asked in between their journey.

King Bhian and Zhia rode one horse together, while Pangliam qai was alone behind the two. Although feeling sad to see the affection of his King who managed to make his singles soul struggling.

Commander Qai still looked calm even though in his heart thrashed to see the one in front of him.

"Why? you're not feeling well here?" asked King Bhian who was afraid Zhia was bored.

What's more those who are there have been a few days and always fight against the enemy.

"Not that!" deny Zhia quickly.

"Then?" asked King Bhian in curiosity.

"Just want to know, because the situation here has also begun to recover as natural as possible we can already leave this area, you will definitely not only take care of this!" zhia.

"Wait two more days until you fully recover huh! residents have started to cultivate their fields and farms, the forest has also started to return as before, everything has gradually normalized even the sick have returned to their homes, but there's still a little more work to be done before we get back" King Bhian said, prompting Zhia to turn her head to the side because of King Bhian's face beside his.

"What's that?" ask Zhia curiously.

King Bhian smiled at Zhia's question.

"Secret" she whispered, Zhia gripped the man's hand gently in his stomach because one hand of King Bhian was holding a horse rope and the other was holding Zhia. Zhia held the hand in her stomach.

Of course Zhia's pinch was not felt at all for the man who was even more smiling.

It was not unwilling to tell Zhia what kind of work to do. King Bhian just didn't want Zhia to go back from the inn without him. Although the girl's departure still follows her but there is also a sense of worry in King Bhian.

There will be enemies attacking in large numbers. Although there was no doubt about the ability that Zhia had, there was still a sense of worry.

King Bhian kissed the cheek of dear Zhia and smiled afterwards. Zhia just looked down embarrassed, because after all usually the one who kissed her cheek was her father or her brothers and mother.

But this time the one who kissed her cheek was not her family against her future husband. Although it would be one family as well but still embarrassed, what else Zhia who had never had a relationship with another man.

"Are you not sorry for me who doesn't have a partner, Your Majesty? my lonely soul thrashed to see you behaving sweetly towards princess Zhia" muttered Commander Qai softly and only heard by herself.

His face was sad to mourn for him who still had no partner.

"Where is my soul mate?? where is he?" continued Commander Qai is still lamenting the fate of his widow.

After a while of traveling, they finally arrived at the inn at night. And something strange made the three people who had just arrived were astonished.

"Your Majesty! Yang Mu's... Princess Sir!" the soldiers who approached King Bhian and Zhia looked shocked when they saw Zhia with King Bhian.

"Why?" asked Commander Qai who even got a look of wonder from the soldier asked.

"What's wrong with you? what the hell is going on here?" asked Commander Qai again when he saw all the soldiers looked shocked and relieved and there was a look of fear on their faces.

Until finally the two servants of Zhia came out from the eater with happy and relieved faces.

"Mr Princess! thank goodness you are well" said one of the maids when Zhia had come down from the horse with the help of King Bhian.

"Whatchu mean? I am fine" said Zhia, more astonished by everyone who saw her as shocked and in disbelief.

"Gather you all together" said King Bhian with a flat face and a cold voice.

"Explain!" said King Bhian.

A soldier lowered his head for a while then replied as to what had happened there.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, we have been negligent in looking after the Princess" he said, looking down in fear.

King Bhian, Zhia and Commander Qai who were before them still did not understand. Is it possible that Princess Zhia escaped, Commander Qai thought. King Bhian thought the same thing.

"Last noon after His Majesty and Commander Qai left there was an intruder who entered here Your Majesty, they searched for the Princess and messed up the situation here, the waiter searched the Princess everywhere but did not look, we also did a search inside the inn while some caught the intruder, we even searched the outer area of the inn but did not find the Princess" obviously one of the soldiers.

"We wanted to give the news to His Majesty but we don't know where His Majesty and the Commander went, finally we can only conduct a search in this area Your Majesty, we also finished off one of the intruders for not telling us where the Princess is, because we thought the Princess had been captured by them" the other explained.

"Where is the intruder?" ask King Bhian.

"We hold it in that narrow room, Your Majesty" pointed the soldier at a small building in the corner of the front yard.

"Why did you guys put it in there? is the intruder a goat?" zhia asked innocently when she saw a small building and could only be entered by two adults.

"The intruder is the human Princess, we put it there so that they will open their mouths about the reason for their arrival" said the soldier.

Zhai only nodded while still thinking, what place does it fit? how many people are in there?. But he did not want to ask much more because there is still something that King Bhian wants to convey again.

"How many are they?" ask Commander Qai who agreed to Zhia without response.

"They have five commanders but now there are four because one has been killed" said the soldier.

"Have they not given any evidence?" Ask King Bhian.

"Not yet Your Majesty, that's why we didn't get them out of there"

King Bhian nodded then turned to look at Zhia who was beside him still putting on an innocent face.

"Daughter Zhia! didn't you tell them before you left?" the question was firmly on Zhia which made the girl feel trembling as it was only this time that King Bhian showed that attitude to her.

Zhia simply shook her head still with her innocent look.

"Although it's your servant?" again, Zhia shook her head.

"That means you ran away from this place without anyone knowing?" Zhia nodded.

King Bhian interrupted with a faint smile on his lips which made Zhia look suspiciously at the man beside her.

"Back to each place, tighten the guard again lest there are more intruders" said Raja Bhian firmly.

"Okay Your Majesty" said all the soldiers and disbanded.

"You prepare dinner" King Bhian saw the two servants of Zhia who immediately lowered their heads and assented.

After all disbanded as ordered, King Bhian pulled Zhia into the inn.

"You must be punished for leaving without permission to cause chaos here" said King Bhian firmly also to Zhia who immediately put on a sad face.

Do not want to dispute what else to defend themselves, because it feels guilty Zhia only resigned if given punishment by King Bhian.
