Ranula (Full History of Wounds)
Red Shawl Girl

Zoya walks with Aunt Nor to their house. It's dark enough. And they just walked by being illuminated by a torch made of bamboo. Aunt Nor got this when they passed by a village earlier. It was fortunate that the villager was so kind as to give this torch, otherwise he and aunt Nor would have had a hard time walking in the darkness.

"Auntie, I'm afraid" Zoya whispered as she continued to hold Aunt Nor's hand.

Somehow he was really horrified to be in the middle of the forest that if a night like this really feels gripping. There are no lights and lights, even to look everywhere you can't. Zoya is really afraid if there are wild animals or snakes on her feet.

"It's okay, we'll be there soon" Aunt Nor replied.

"This is because of the prince earlier, if he had not hindered our journey, we would have arrived since then" Zoya grumbled.

Aunt Nor just smiled in response. But in his heart, he was actually quite worried by the admiring look of the Duke's prince earlier. Prince Erlangga's younger brother. More aptly her stepbrothers, because they are different mothers.

"The Duke was escorted by generals and soldiers when he left the palace, but why was Prince Erlangga not aunty?" ask Zoya. It seemed like chatting along the way would slightly reduce his fear.

"That's because Prince Erlangga doesn't like to be escorted by Ana, he'd rather go and go out on his own" Aunt Nor replied.

"huh, it's only fitting that he could be seriously injured like that yesterday" Zoya muttered.

"Prince Erlangga is a little stubborn" aunt Nor said.

"True, even tomorrow he invites me to meet" Zoya said

Aunt Nor immediately looked at Zoya in disbelief.

"He invited you to meet?" ask Aunt Nor.

Zoya nodded happily. He can't wait to wait for tomorrow.

Aunt Nor went back into silence, thinking that like her prince Erlangga had already put his heart on Zoya.

...

While at Ranula's royal palace...

Prince Erlangga was sitting in a normal place where he was relaxing and aloof looking for calm. Saung is above the roof top of the building where weapons storage. From up there, all areas of the royal palace can be seen easily, even the activities of the soldiers he can also watch from his place.

Tonight the sky is quite clear, maybe a few more days the full moon will appear. Prince Erlangga sat leaning against the wall with his right hand which he piled on his knees. Looking up at the star-filled sky. His eyes were full of meaning despite his face being flat with no expression.

However, a faint smile was immediately etched onto his handsome face as he captured the shadow of the beauty that had made his heart these few days piqued.

The shadow of a girl he had only met over a week ago. His beautiful smile and melodious laughter really made Prince Erlangga unable to not remember him.

Strange girl who always says about something she doesn't understand.

"DWell....."

His aunt suddenly muttered that name. The name that had unknowingly had indeed grown in his heart.

Prince Erlangga snorted a smile and shook his head slowly. He immediately gasped and realized that what he thought was wrong. Ana is just an ordinary girl from a lowly caste, and it is not appropriate that she harbors her feelings for the girl.

Although it could not be denied, if he could not remove the beautiful face from his head.

Prince Erlangga suddenly gasped, when he heard a noise down there. Like the murmuring of some people arguing with each other.

Prince Erlangga immediately jumped down and walked silently towards the place of the person. He immediately hid behind the wall, and looked down, where some soldiers seemed to be arguing and fussing over something. And this is about the Duke prince, his half-brother???

"You're sure the Duke's prince did it?" whispered one of them.

"Yes, I heard him talking to a general earlier. I can't hear you wrong. My ears are still functioning well" replied the soldier.

"I didn't eavesdrop, I just accidentally heard. Samar I heard if it turns out that all this time the Duke and General prince asked the pirates to kidnap the village girl to be sold and made into slaves" whispered the soldier again.

Prince Erlangga's heart was like being hit by something hearing that.

If this news is true, then the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the village girls was the man in the palace himself??? But what did the Duke do that for? He doesn't lack for treasure here.

"You're serious?" heard back the murmur of disbelief from his friend.

"Hey keep that voice down. If anyone hears we can die cungkring" maki the soldier.

"Yes, then why would the Duke's prince do that? Wasn't he a prince who had power. Even he very rarely went out of the palace." asked his friend.

"Where do I know, but obviously, I heard that the Duke wanted to capture a girl in Baloko village" the soldier said.

Prince Erlangga growled at that. He will not let the crime repeat itself.

"He wanted to capture the girl but not for sale, but for his own savings" the soldier added.

"Well, the Duke's prince sounds crazy" said his friend.

"Yes, and what I'm weird about is, she kind of mentioned a girl with a red scarf"

Prince Erlangga's heart was like falling down to hear the words of the girl with a red scarf.

Desan baloko

Girl with red scarf

Isn't that........... Ana????

Unknowingly Prince Erlangga kicked a flower pot that was nearby. To make the two soldiers jump in shock.

"Wire, someone heard" they murmured. And after saying that, the sound of thousand footsteps instantly rang out.

Prince Erlangga, standing with a perfectly hardened jaw. If it was true that the Duke's prince was behind the crimes that had occurred for so many years, then he would not let. During this time Prince Erlangga went out of the palace to find out who was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of village girls. And unfortunately, it turns out that the mastermind is a person in his own palace.

Prince Erlangga will not stay silent, he will look for evidence of the Duke's crimes. Enough had been their cold war in fighting for the crown prince's throne. And now prince Erlangga will no longer succumb to this. His life is for the people of Ranula's kingdom. And he will not allow anyone to disturb the tranquility of his people. Even though it was his own sister.

It was enough that he saw the grim cries of Aunt Nor who lost her daughter, and now prince Erlangga would no longer let aunt Nor cry for losing Ana.

No. gabe...

Ana....

He won't let anyone touch the girl.

It won't!
