The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 86 ONE ROOM IN THE INN
The night just sunk the whole city of Denver. The darkness has enveloped a part of the city. The night wind started to spread the cold.
Dhafin and Kayshila are having dinner at one of the taverns that doubles up in a corner of the city.
After resting for a while on Kanaya Hill, they immediately went down to the village. After that, go straight to town. And when night came they came to town. And so until they immediately looked for a restaurant because they were hungry.
They seemed so calm and relaxed about eating their ordered food. But the ears were sharpened to hear the shoes of 3 people who were eating at one corner of the store.
"It was only 3 years since His Holiness Adrian ruled this country like hell" a short-haired man complained.
"There haven't been 7 years of us living with a light tax, now starting again with a tax that suffocates the neck" continued his friend in green, head-bound from a thick black cloth.
Their voices were lowered as if they were afraid that someone would hear.
"Be careful you speak" said the thin, oblong-faced moustache man reminiscent also in a soft voice. "If your words are heard by the Security Warrior, you can be beheaded immediately on the spot."
The two men immediately glanced at the entrance after hearing their friend's words, wanting to make sure there was no Peace Warrior.
"Until now I'm still wondering where exactly is Grand Princess?" said the short-haired man after a long moment of silence. Still sounding soft. "Is being kidnapped constantly killed huh?"
""It seems so," said the head-bound man in agreement. "The evidence is that his Kejora Palace was destroyed when he was kidnapped 8 years ago."
"Have you been killed by Her Majesty Our Lady of Suri Rayna 8 years ago maybe?" said the short hair guy again.
"If it had been killed by Her Majesty Mother Suri," the thin mustache man argued, "however may he have hitherto put up a warara to tell her where the Great Princess is."
"Yes yes too" said the short-haired man while nodding.
"Eh, isn't there still another wara-wara?" the head-bound man said as if to remind.
"Yes you are right" said the thin mustache man, "the charade to tell you where Prince Brian and Young Master Dhafin are."
"Where are they going?" ask the short hair guy.
"I'm sure they and their three friends went to study somewhere that wasn't in this state" said the thin moustache man pretentiously.
"I also feel sure so," said the short-haired man following along.
"Surely they have now become great warriors," the head-bound man chimed as if in agreement as well.
The thin mustache man did not respond anymore. The short-haired man did not say anymore. The head-bound man was silent as well. The three men no longer spoke.
Soon, they seemed to be getting out of their seats. After putting a few pieces of coin on the dining table, they immediately left the store. But as they walked they seemed to be engaged in conversation again.
Dhafin and Kayshila looked at each other for a moment. But they haven't spoken to each other yet. But their minds were clearly thinking about the chat of the 3 people earlier.
After being satisfied with each other they continued eating those who stayed a little. Once they finished eating and paying, they moved from the dining table and went up to their room.
★☆★☆
Earlier, Dhafin told the owner of the store to prepare a room because he and Kayshila wanted to stay overnight.
Dhafin confesses to the store owner that Kayshila is his wife. The shop owner seemed to believe it. But Kayshila was initially surprised to hear Dhafin's confession to the tavern owner.
Obviously he was stubborn as well if to sleep in the room with this lover. You see, when living in a cave they used to live in one cave room, but their beds were far apart.
But Dhafin explained that he was forced to do so for the safety of Kayshila. Such an uncertain situation made it necessary for her to completely guarantee Kayshila's safety.
Moreover, Kayshila became the target of the Skull Sword Horde. Which means to be the target of Princess Rayna Cathrine as well. Because it could be him who ordered to destroy the martial universities 8 years ago, including Purple Colleges.
Hearing Dhafin's explanation, Kayshila was able to accept it. And felt overwhelmed as well because Dhafin really paid attention to his safety.
Dhafin entered the room first, continuing to scan the state of the entire room as if checking its safety. Kayshila was allowed in.
In the room there are 2 beds. Dhafin chose a bed that was far from the entrance. Kayshila is just fine.
And somewhat relieved also so knowing it turns out that the room chosen by Dhafin which there are 2 beds. So he doesn't need to sleep one bed with Dhafin. Thinking about it, he became self-conscious.
"You're still going to Kotaraja, Kanda?" kayshila asked in a worried tone. "You are also the target of the palace people. Didn't you notice?"
"We're going there undercover" Dhafin said.
The handsome young man was already in the middle of his bed in a meditated position. While Kayshila was still sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Dhafin who seemed to be almost drowning in his semen.
"Kanda!" call Kayshila pitched half sulky spoiled.
"Hm" Dhafin simply muttered without opening his eyes, let alone turning his head.
"I still want to talk, don't sleep first" said Kayshila still sulking spoiled.
"What do you want to talk about?" ask Dhafin without changing the conditions. Regardless of Kayshila's indulgence.
"I'm sure you must have listened to all the conversations of the 3 citizens of the city. Aye, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"What did His Majesty Adrian mean was Prince Adrian Carel?" kayshila asked to be sure. "What broke my leg first?"
"Yes, he's the one."
"Why can Prince Adrian be the ruler, while the one who conquered this kingdom is Princess Rayna Cathrine?" kayshila asked in a clear tone of wonder.
"I suspect Prince Adrian is already in the power of Princess Rayna Cathrine. Moreover, Prince Adrian has a demonic habit that is clearly favored by Princess Rayna Cathrine."
"Who's looking for you, Kanda? Is Prince Adrian now king? Or is Princess Rayna Cathrine also looking for you?"
"I think Prince Adrian is more enthusiastic looking for me. Nothing else because he was so vengeful to me. Moreover, I once obliterated all martial arts and magic."
"When did that happen, Kanda?" Kayshila was a little surprised. He only found out that Dhafin had once obliterated the knowledge of the haughty prince.
"After he broke your leg."
Kayshila nodded after finding out. At that time he did not see the incident when Dhafin came to help him and eliminate the knowledge of Prince Adrian. Because he had fainted.
He only heard the story of Miss Fariza, his friend at that time that Dhafin had made Prince Adrian thrown from the stage.
It is natural that Prince Adrian is very vengeful to Dhafin who once humiliated him in public. And actually when he first met Dhafin, Prince Adrian had shown hostility to him.
"Kanda! Can you guess who kidnapped the Great Princess?" kayshila asked him about the fate of Grand Princess Aurellia.
"In my mind there are only 2 groups that might kidnap her."
"Who are they, Kanda?"
"The first group is the people of King Bastian. Because that person is again eagerly looking for a magical boy to be used as a special force...."
"Eh, isn't King Bastian in a cooperative relationship with Princess Rayna Cathrine? Why would he interfere with kidnapping Grand Princess Aurellia?"
"Between the devil and the devil, there is no co-operation that is innocent and honest, Kayshila. You should know that. That's the unwritten law that prevails between them."
Kayshila was stunned for a moment thinking about Dhafin's explanation just now. After that he asked again.
"Whose 2nd group, Kanda?"
"The 2nd possible group to do so is the Red Cloak Army."
Kayshila clearly did not know who the Red Cloak Army was. Even so he heard the name mentioned by Dhafin when he told me that the group almost caught them.
Then the chat continues on the things they will do when they are already in Kotaraja. Including the matching plan they will do.
After being content to talk long enough, Kayshila finally wanted to sleep. While Dhafin continued his meditation which had been disturbed by Kayshila.
