Revenge Journey
Chapter 17's

"Guards, what else do you know about the kingdom's eastern village and also the deadly plague that appeared in that village?" Ask Laren to the bodyguard who was next to his carriage

"I'm sorry prince, but I don't know too much information. The servant only knew that some time ago there was one of the citizens who claimed to be from the eastern village of the kingdom who arrived at the palace and said that his village had a very deadly plague attack it also cost him a lot of lives and he asked for help from the kingdom." The bodyguard explained in detail

"Hmm so it is. So what happened to that guy now?" Ask Laren curiously

"The villagers were killed before explaining in detail to the kingdom and also the king's highness. So that finally to ascertain the truth of the information provided by the population, the noble king sent several people and royal ministers to come to the village some time ago. And it turns out that the news of the plague was indeed the existence of the prince." The guard explained

Laren nodded back then pondered for a moment because he heard the words of the bodyguard, after a while later they began to enter the area of the village area.

The dried trees and dried leaves that fell welcomed Laren and the royal members who came to the village, because it was strange Laren asked one of his guards.

"Guards, is this month in the dry season?" Taren asked while observing the surroundings

"Hamba answered the prince Laren, this is not the prince's dry season but spring. But I don't know why the trees in this village area are so dry and the leaves are falling." Said the bodyguard while observing the surroundings

"I'm also thinking the same thing as you, hopefully we get an answer when we get to the village later." Laren

"Yes, your highness the prince." Reply to the guard

What exactly makes this area so dry in spring that it should be so beautiful? Does this have anything to do with this outbreak? (Batin Laren while observing the surrounding environment)

After a long journey arrived Laren and the others in the eastern village of the kingdom, when Laren immediately wanted to meet the village chief who was there.

"Guard, I want to meet the village chief here. Send me my message to her." Laren

"Okay prince, I will tell you." Reply to one of the guards there

One of the guards went to meet the village chief and relayed the message.

After a while of waiting, the bodyguard returned with the village chief there.

"I greet Prince Laren. I am so grateful to Prince Laren for coming to our village to help us." Said the village head while bowing towards Laren

"Hmm, fine then. Now I want you to tell me everything about this plague, with nothing to hide." Laren said as he stepped up and observed the surroundings

"Your princes have just arrived here after a long journey, have you not... Don't want to go rest first?" Said the village head while following Laren's footsteps behind him and trembling

Laren stopped his steps and looked at the village chief sharply and gave off a pressing aura towards the village chief.

"Uhh... M-please forgive the prince's servant." Said the village head while kneeling down as it was unable to hold back the aura belonging to Laren

And because the aura of Laren is too big so that the bodyguards and ministers there also feel pressured by the aura of Laren's.

"Do you not want the issue of this outbreak to be resolved quickly? Why tell me to rest first?" Said Laren while staring intently at the village head

"Not... That's not what the prince meant. H-just..." Said the village head while trembling and frightened

"What is it?" Ask Laren

"Just when some time ago Prince Stellan came here, I begged that Prince Stellan immediately act to overcome the plague, so that the problems of our village quickly resolved. However, Prince Stellan was even more angry with us and delayed to overcome this plague prince. Prince Stellan also without doing anything, the prince arrived to leave our village and also the problem of the plague in our village..." Said the village chief while looking down

"Hmm so it's like that" said Laren

It turned out like that, Stellan's brother's treatment of these villagers was very cruel. He gave false hope to all the people of this village. (Batin Laren)

"So we don't want to make the same mistake again, and make our village even more miserable." Said the village chief while remaining down

"Hmm there's such a thing... You calm down I'm not too tired now, I can rest later and also you don't have to worry, I will never leave my duty to help this village." Said Laren while patting the head of the village in front of him

"Hamba represents all the villagers, we are very grateful for the help of Prince Laren." Said the village head while kneeling in front of Laren

"I haven't done anything, so don't thank me first, now you get up." Said Laren while helping the village chief to wake up

"Good... Good prince." Said the village chief while standing up

Prince Laren was quite different from Prince Stellan, and seemed to be very different from the other princes as well. (Batin the village chief was observing Laren)

"All right now I want you to explain everything about this plague. Starting from the beginning of this outbreak." Laren

"Well, so the prince of this plague started appearing about four months ago, one of our citizens went to the palace to ask for help from the kingdom. After waiting for a week, then the kingdom checked the information about an outbreak in this village." Said the village chief

"Then what happened?" Ask Laren curiously

"After checking the truth about this plague, the king's majesty sent prince Stellan to deal with the case of this plague. We villagers are very happy for the arrival of Prince Stellan because we think that Prince Stellan will help and solve our problems." Obviously the village chief

Laren only listened to the explanation of the village chief calmly and carefully without saying a word.
