Queen Mayang is waiting for the Prince of Justice behind the palace. The Duma Master seemed to be unable to stand any longer.
"Where are they? You said they approved of this ritual?"
"The Prince of Judges himself said it was the teacher. So how could the Prince of Justice lie?"
"They just walk like snails. How could it be possible to meet the Celestial Emperor if the path was so slow." Said Teacher Duma annoyed.
"Don't talk so Teacher. Well.that's them coming."
"What should we do as the beginning of the Master?" Ask Queen Mayang.
"We must prove the sanctity of Princess Tara." Said the Duma Master.
"I mean Teacher? Don't we know Princess Tara is still a Virgin. Prince Judge himself said that until now they have not honeymooned." Said Queen Mayang.
"Stay to be proven. So that we don't do anything in vain."
"How's Teacher?"
"We'll burn it and put it in a ring of fire."
"That's very dangerous Master. How could the Prince of Justice allow it?" Queen Mayang felt doubtful in the way Master Duma said.
"It's the only accurate way to start a ritual."
"Well if there is no other way then I will tell the Prince and take him to the place we have provided." Said Queen Mayang.
Prince Hakim and Princess Tara walked up to Master Duma and Queen Mayang.
"You guys ready?" Said Queen Mayang. "If you're ready let's go" said Queen Mayang walking ahead into a forest.
The forest was not far from the Mayang Palace. Then they came to a big bonfire. The wood is arranged to resemble a small mountain. Then they stopped by the mountain of wood.
"Why do we go here, Mother? And who made this mountain of wood?" Ask the Prince of Justice after arriving at the place desired by Queen Mayang.
"We will use this fire as the first ritual." Said Queen Mayang. "It was the ruler who made this mountain of wood"
"Are we going to stay here or spend the night? But this fire is too big to keep warm."
"You think we're wasting our time here just staying over and feeding mosquitoes here?" The Duma Master said as he walked around the mountain of wood.
"Daughter do you really want to perform this ritual?" Ask the Duma Teacher.
Princess Tara nodded. And glanced at the Prince of Judges.
"Teacher why are you asking again? My son-in-law will indeed perform this ritual. Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten here." Queen Mayang said while looking at Princess Tara.
Princess Tara nodded.
"Yes. I'll follow as you want." The Princess Tara.
"If so do you mind if you prove that you're still a virgin with this fire ritual?" Ask Queen Mayang.
"Mother? Why should it be proven? I told you we haven't had a honeymoon. Why perform this dangerous ritual if only to prove someone is still a girl or not?"
"Basic stupid! Quiet down!" Hardik Teacher Duma.
"What's? You're gonna do a ritual to burn in this bonfire? What if you're on fire?" The Prince of Justice panicked.
"That's not gonna happen." Princess Tara said.
"Well, if the Princess agrees, sit down and close your eyes." Said the Duma Master.
Then Princess Tara sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. While the Duma Master was reciting a spell and the fire instantly lit up. The signal is very large and anyone who enters the fire will be burned in a few seconds.
The Prince of Justice looked at Princess Tara with a very anxious face. Likewise with Queen Mayang who is no less anxious. However, if Princess Tara burned in the fire, the Kingdom of Muria would definitely fight with the Kingdom of Mayang. That is what Queen Mayang is worried about.
"Wait for Master, let me ask Princess Tara one more time." Queen Mayang told the Duma Master.
"Daughter are you sure of what you think? You're not gonna burn in this fire? This is a holy fire. He would not touch and burn a still-holy girl. But otherwise if the girl had lied and was no longer holy then she would have instantly become ashes." The Queen said, It ensures that Princess Tara is convinced of her purity that has never been touched by anyone.
"Just do. Nothing will happen to me. But if you doubt it, then we will not do this ritual." The Princess Tara.
"alright. Get ready Princess .. I'll throw you into that flame." Said the Duma Master.
"Wait first! Can't we replace this ritual with another?" Asked the Prince Judge whose heart was beating very fast and whose face turned pale.
"No! This is the only accurate way to prove a person's honesty. The holy fire is never wrong in choosing its followers.
"alright. Do it slowly, lest my wife get hurt. You said you were gonna throw it, right?"
"I'll move it with my power." Said the Duma Master.
"Yes, you better use those words. You're gonna throw it like it's just an item." The Prince of Judges who did not accept his wife will be thrown into the fire. If moved, the effect may be different.
"Be prepared Princess." Said the Duma Master.
"I'm ready!" Princess Tara said as she closed her eyes.
"I'll lift you up now. Close your eyes." Said the Duma Master.
Prince Hakim and Queen Mayang held their breaths when they saw Princess Tara floating in the air and into the blazing flames.
In a cruel moment the fire had drowned Princess Tara and was not seen from the outside.
Prince Hakim and Queen Mayang were immediately confused and surprised. He did not see Princess Tara at all. Did he really burn and instantly become ashes? It should be within seconds that his body is still visible. Where did Princess Tara go?
"I told you not to do this ritual. But you're stubborn!" The Prince of Judges said with great anger when he saw that the fire was burning with a large buffer and Princess Tara was nowhere to be seen. They thought Princess Tara had turned into ashes in an instant.
"Please wait a few more moments." Said the Duma Master who was no less panicked. "Where did he disappear? How quickly it burns to ashes?"
"What did you say? My wife is burning and has become ashes?" The Prince of Justice was furious.
"Prophey our Prince wait until this fire is completely extinguished." Said Queen Mayang whose face instantly pale with no expression.
"If he dies then you two will face off against the Muria Kingdom. And war is inevitable." The Prince of Justice was very upset.
"Shut your mouth. You keep babbling. If he dies, it is his fault. Why would he lie if he was still holy then this fire would not touch him even if it was just a strand of his hair. You are such a fool! He's been lying to you and he's not a virgin anymore." Said Queen Mayang.
They fought until night and the fire was not extinguished despite repeated spells. And the Prince of Judges has also doused him with his strength. Even Queen Mayang had doused it by bringing water from the sea but the fire still did not want to be extinguished.
They were exhausted and thirsty from exerting all their strength in extinguishing the holy fire.
