Queen Rushi
Chapter 118 Clear Details
‘’In front of our two eyes, my sister and I witnessed it for themselves, how they ruthlessly slaughtered innocent crocodiles. Without a second thought, my sister and I were so scared that we ran away and left them behind who had been slaughtered.’’
Queen Rushi did not expect after hearing everything. One of them only intended to deliver a dead baby to his family. But his uncle viciously killed the previous King by scapegoating crocodiles.
Clear details flowed straight from the corner of Queen Rushi's eyes, as the woman clenched her hands.
‘’Truly cruel. I've never met anyone as cruel as him. What makes an uncle like this?’’

Palaces
Siruverash who was sitting on the chair, only looked at a painting that was partially covered in cloth. Lately the palace has become quiet in the absence of King Raion and Prince Rodigero, who are busy looking for Queen Rushi.
He only plays a glass of wine in hand without drinking it. ‘’You must be happy, right? I have sent Queen Rushi to you. Right now, you two must have met.’’
‘’Hm .. Humphehe .. Ahahaha! Hahahaha!’’
He chuckled softly with increasingly loud laughter following, until finally the clear details flowed from the corner of his eyes.
‘’Zehi mo Nashi(No more forgiveness),’’ says Siruverash.

Swamps
The crocodile did not expect because Queen Rushi to cry as if feeling the same pain. He saw the woman standing with her hands clenched.
‘’As Queen, I am the first lady who has an obligation to protect you as a family. I'll make sure everyone in Aslan's country gets the same position without any differences. I'll make my uncle and half-sister pay for their crimes. This is my promise!’’
‘’Yang Mulia? May I ask?’’
‘’If we come with Your Majesty back to the other country, can I and brother feel safe?’’
The woman being questioned was silent for a while until she finally sighed with a smile. ‘’I understand your anxiety. But, I can assure you that no one will dare to harass anyone who follows me, for I stand to protect them.’’
‘’Then I can leave quietly. I entrust older brother Wani to His Majesty,’’ said the crocodile.
‘’Eh? What do you mean say that? You will not die,’’ said Queen Rushi.
The crocodile told Queen Rushi that the burns she received from the fire cannon were so deep that she did not miss a second of being tormented. Even for breathing, the pain from the burn was like suffocating him.
‘’The cannon penetrated my thick skin so that the wound was very deep in the body. Your Honor, can I still ask?’’
‘’Of course. Ask as much as you want to know,’’ said Ratu Rushi.
‘’Before, our mother always sang a song for me and brother. But, since they were all gone, I have never heard singing again. My mother's singing always made me feel at home. I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but can Your Majesty sing? Maybe I can feel at home again for the last time before leaving.’’
Queen Rushi fell silent with teary eyes. He was very sad to hear that the crocodile was waiting for his death. Because there was nothing to use to accompany the song, he only grabbed a shard of jug to be used as a drum. His hands began to hit in a slow, slow tone, then sang in slow fashion.
‘’Remember when I told you no matter where I go~
I’ never leave your side, you will never be alone~
Even when we go through chances, even when we’re old~
Remember that I told you I’ll find my way back home..’’.
Clear details fell from the crocodile's eyelids before the reptile closed its eyes. ‘’Thank you, Your Grace...’’.
