The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 71 MEETING WITH FOUR VILLAGE HEADS 1
At the end of Bahir City to the north there are 4 villages that can be said to be far from the village adjacent to the city.
The nearest village can be 1 day 1 night riding with the village adjacent to the city. Or 2 days of travel during the day.
And no less unique also the four villages are far apart from each other. And further along with the other three villages is Kampung Naraya.
In addition to the village is far from the other 3 villages, it is also located in the highlands. And about 2 and a half miles from the village there is a deep abyss.
Now the residents of Naraya Village live a little, there is no more half of the initial amount. As a result of the bloody tragedy a few days ago, many of them died.
So, now many houses are left dead by their owners. Some were broken, but have been repaired. In those empty houses the Red Cloak Army stayed for a while.
While the Centauri Palace Army temporarily returned first to the Sunscreen Country. To come back to this area was easy for them. Staying through the Gate of Light they had arrived quickly.
The only ones who have not returned to the palace are General Jessica, Freya and Daniela, 2 beautiful girls from the Investigative Division.
But they are no longer in Naraya Village. They had gone to Bahir City to investigate the movement of the palace troops as well as the state of the city.
Prince Revan could do nothing. He could not help the beautiful girl who had already placed space in his heart. There was no right for her to organize General Jessica's duties.
He and General Jessica were both in the same position, both under the leadership of Grand Queen Aurellia.
After all he was still under the leadership of the Commander 1 of the Red Cloak Army, Prince Nelson, his own uncle.
Back to the discussion of Kampung Naraya....
Elder Darius, the new Head of Naraya Village a few days ago was appointed, he said that about 20 years ago there was a young mistress who came to this village with a baby boy who was almost half a year old.
The young mistress claimed to be the victim of a bloody tragedy that occurred in Kotaraja. The tragedy of the overthrow of King Neshfal Abraham by his own concubine, Grand Consort Helen Gretha.
The young mistress confessed that her entire family was killed as a result of the incident. Only he and the baby he claimed to be his niece survived.
Eventually the residents accepted the young mistress' presence and made a home for the woman and her baby boy.
About 5 years the young mistress and her nephew lived in Naraya Village, there was a bloody event in this village.
In this village suddenly visited by 5 palace soldiers. And it was unknown why they had directly attacked the young mistress and her nephew.
If you have dealt with the palace soldiers, the villagers can not do anything. Until the Head of Naraya Village itself. Because if meddling in the affairs of the palace people will lead to death.
So, none of them dared to help the young madam against the 5 palace soldiers. Eventually, the young lady was killed in the incident.
While the boy who was 5 years old at the time was initially able to escape from the pursuit of 5 palace soldiers. But even though the boy escaped from the pursuit of the soldiers, he ended up dying as well from falling into the abyss.
★☆★☆
After completing his bloody duties, the 5 palace soldiers came to the Head of the Village at that time and held him accountable for his village's accusations of hiding and protecting the descendants of King Neshfal Abraham.
Because as has been known by all residents of Bentala Kingdom that Grand Concubine Helen Gretha is determined to eliminate all descendants of King Neshfal Abraham.
Only from his descendants can live and reign on earth the Kingdom of Bentala. Although actually descendants of Grand Concubine Helen Gretha came from the nutfah of the late King Neshfal Abraham as well.
The Head of the Village could do nothing. Finally he gave his life as a redeemer for what was considered a great mistake by the palace.
If he is not responsible for his actions, then the entire population of Naraya Village will be slaughtered by palace soldiers. What a cruel and sadistic man!
Frankly, neither the Head of the Village nor the residents knew that the boy they helped was one of the descendants of the late King Neshfal Abraham.
Because at that time the young mistress had obscured the identity of the boy she was carrying. Not to mention the child he brought to this village turned out to be a descendant of King Neshfal Abraham.
It was only fitting that the young mistress would protect the boy desperately to the point of sacrificing his life.
And from that time until now Naraya Village, even the entire village at the northern end of Bahir City has always been the watch of the palace.
A few days ago ±100 palace soldiers and dozens of palace warriors slaughtered most of the inhabitants of this village under the pretext that there were reports that it was here a den of rebels.
Since the events of 14 years ago until now there are no more foreigners into this village because the next Head of Village forbids it. And there is no activity that refers to rebellion.
The days of the residents of Naraya Village are only filled with farming, farming, and trading in the city. Sometimes they hunt in the woods. Just like the activities of the other three villages.
If this village is still accused of being a nest of rebels, what can they do. Although the truth is that this village is not a nest of rebels, but they already have a bad record in the eyes of the palace people.
The village of Naraya is accused of harboring descendants of King Neshfal Abraham, who has been labeled a rebel.
In fact, Grand Concubine Helen Greta seized legitimate power by means of rebellion. Once he knew there were still descendants of King Neshfal Abraham who were still alive, then he went back to accusing that all descendants of King Neshfal were rebels.
Who is the real rebel?
Actually on one side the entire population of Naraya Village was happy to get help from the Red Cloak Army. Because thanks to them Kampung Naraya not to be completely destroyed due to the tragedy.
Not even a single palace warrior was left to return to the palace.
However, Prince Revan assured Mr. Darius that he and his troops would protect the village if that happened. And will stay here until this village is completely safe.
★☆★☆
Prince Revan gathered 4 Heads of Village at the end of this northern area at his residence in Naraya Village. Prince Revan is accompanied only by Prince Brian who has rejoined.
Earlier Brian, who accompanied Prince Nelson to Centauri Palace, reported the results of the meeting to Prince Revan.
Her Highness the Great Queen has decreed and authorized the start of the plan to overthrow the illegitimate power of King Ghanim Altezza.
Her Majesty the Great Queen ordered all elements, both those in the Centauri Palace and those in Centaurus Headquarters to concentrate on realizing the plan.
And Prince Revan was assigned directly from the center to deal with cases that occurred in this northern area, especially the massacre that occurred in Naraya Village.
Therefore, Prince Revan gathered 4 village heads to discuss the problem.
Previously he had obtained information from the results of the examination of his people and also information from General Jessica that there were enough residents in 2 villages who mastered martial arts. The two villages are Kampung Adya and Kampung Urdha.
In passing or when mingling with other residents, the residents who master martial arts are not clear. It seems obvious that it was really researched. And only those who understand martial arts can know it.
Before starting the conversation they introduce each other's names first. And Prince Revan didn't mention himself as a prince.
Previously also Brian diwanti-wanti not to call him a prince in front of the Heads of the Village. Even though he was used to calling Prince Revan by name.
And even now Elder Darius had not known that Prince Revan was a prince.
"I'm sorry before...."
"Go ahead, Mr. Revan," said the Head of Adya Village in a flat tone, cutting off Prince Revan's remarks. "No need to beat everything."
"Actually Master gathered us here for what?" asked the Head of Urdha Village in a cynical tone.
Witnessing the unfriendly attitude of the 2 heads of the Village made Prince Revan and Brian look at each other for a moment, then simultaneously staring surprised at the 2 old men.
The two heads of the village since the beginning came have indeed shown antipathy. Clearly showing their displeasure at this meeting.
They don't want to come to this meeting. But they also came because they wanted to know Prince Revan wanted to have a meeting like this.
While the Head of Naraya Village clearly felt very happy and appreciated the positive about this meeting. While the Head of Caraya Village was cold. His expression showed neither antipathy nor pleasure.
"Alright, just be direct then," said Prince Revan trying to remain calm and courteous. "The purpose of this meeting was none other than to discuss the matter of attacking the palace soldiers one week ago."
"The issue of attacking the palace soldiers is not the business of Urdha Village, Mr. Revan," said Elder Simon, Head of Urdha Village in a flat and cynical tone. "That's the problem of Naraya's own village."
"For the residents of Naraya Village, too," said Elder Carlos, Head of Adya Village continued with a cynical tone as well, "have been in trouble with the palace people for a long time. So it's only natural that they're accused of being rebels for once protecting the rebels."
The longer the speech of the two Heads of the Village was more inviting emotions. But neither Prince Revan nor Brian are still trying to remain calm.
Elder Darius was silent, not trying to respond to the hurtful remark. Since long time Naraya Village is not so well with 3 other villages. Especially in those 2 villages.
So it is only natural that they do not empathize when a bloody tragedy befalls the population.
"Mr Revan should not have to interfere in this matter" said Elder Witton, Head of Caraya Village in support of the two Village Chiefs. "The attack event has indeed become a risk that must be accepted by the residents of Naraya Village."
"Supposedly Mr. Revan let the entire population of Naraya Village be slaughtered" Elder Simon chimed in. "Then the problem will be solved."
"There will definitely be no more attacks next" Elder Carlos said.
"Are you sure, after attacking this village, the palace soldiers will not attack the village of the Lord all?" prince Revan asked as if reminiscing in a flat tone.
"The palace side only has problems with the residents of Naraya Village" Elder Simon said. "There's a chance the palace warriors will attack us who have no problem."
"I think you're gray parents whose minds are also gray, too" suddenly Brian snuck in a circus with his casual style. "Your mind is no different from the mind of a snot boy."
"Take your word, Mr. Brian!" elder Carlos snapped rather loudly. "Master has insulted us!"
"Who insulted you?" brian said he was still relaxed. "Don't the one who insulted you were yourself?"
"Think it's brain, not snoring" he continued.
Not playing mad at the three heads of the Village was insulted in such a way by people who were much younger than them. It was clearly dropping their dignity as the Head of the Village.
So furious were the three Heads of the Village, that they were speechless for a while.
