The Red Crystal Kingdom
Recuperation

That afternoon, King Endan and Queen Sofia were forced by a sit-down by Rivata. They are bound by the tendrils of green plants.

Faraq and his aides were standing on the upper floor of the palace. “I told you to instantly kill them both, Rivata. But you brought them here.”

“I don't mean to save them, Mr. Faraq,” Rivata said. His fingers form the tendrils – tendrils of green plants. “But I want to know about the last conversation that you will pass on to the two of them before we take over this kingdom.”

Inexcusable,” Sofia hissed. “You are the perpetrator of this disaster.”

“That's right, Sofia,” says Faraq. “I am the perpetrator of this disaster.”

Endan attempted to break away from Rivata's tendril ties, but wasted – in vain. “I shouldn't raise a traitor like you to be a higher-up.”

“Kata should be a vain word – sia, Endan,” Faraq smiled calmly as he shook his head. “But the rice has become porridge. In addition, it is a pity that the number of soldiers is not reduced to escort Uzan, the beloved crown prince.”

“It's a good thing that Ushan sent himself to undergo the stupid assignment of the design that you did,” said Endan. Otherwise—”

“You need not be grateful, Endan,” said Faraq. “One of my aides I've ordered to follow Uzan and take his life.”

“What did you say?” Endan furious.

“That's right,” Faraq cross. “Uzan location has been tracked. It is located in the Lumina Forest. With some people who should not have anything to do with this task. In addition, Malvin, my aide, was visiting Uzan by forcing Hikin si to issue a portal between Kastala Palace and Lumina Forest.”

Endan growling. “Badness!”

“That's how someone when he was hit by an accident,” Rivata smiled. “Mr Faraq, are you sure that these two leaders are no longer needed?”

Faraq was silent for a moment while observing Endan and Sofia who were being bound by Rivata's tendril rope. Then, he said, “For now I will hold off the deaths of both of them.”

“Already expected,” said Rivata. “my decision was right. Surely you will change your mind and choose to suspend their deaths.”

Next to Faraq, Frigg asked, “Tuan Faraq, do you have any plans regarding them? I mean, surely the two of them will hinder if left alive when we have mastered the entire territory of the Kingdom of Kastala.”

“No, Frigg,” says Faraq. “I will use Endan and Sofia as a tool for bidding when we negotiate with other kingdoms. We already know that our goal is to rule the kingdom of Kastala. However, we must also have a long-term mind that in the end, our greatest goal is to rule the entire Amaril World region. To achieve that goal, we will use anything.”

“That's right,” said Larisa who was also standing next to Faraq. “But we should not be blind in doing this planning.”

“Alright,” Faraq flicking fingers. “Rivata, put them to bed. After that, take them to the basement!”

“Alright,” Rivata nodded. Then, he pointed his index finger at Endan and Sofia. The tendril rope that bound the two of them shimmered with a greenish light. Before, Endan and Sofia wanted to talk. However, their bodies both weakened and eventually they closed their eyes and immediately lay in their sleep.

Then, Rivata opened her right palm. Then Endan and Sofia floated low along with the green tendrils that bound them.

“Alright,” says Rivata. “I'll take them away to the dungeon.”

Before Frigg turned around, Frigg exclaimed, “Wait!”

Can you explain how you caught King Endan and Queen Sofia in such a fast tempo?”

“That's easy,” Rivata said with a smile. “I meditated for a few hours to track the area of the surrounding Kastala Palace. As you know that I am an Ivy, a creature with a special ability to control plants. Therefore, I can scan the surrounding area that has plants in the form of trees and similar plants.

“I can easily track down King Endan and Queen Sofia because they happened to be under a tree around the warrior training ground. When I found the two of them, I turned the tree into a tree man, Duliv, to attack them. It was easy because there were only a few soldiers around. Therefore, Duliv could defeat them all and eventually capture King Endan and Queen Sofia.”

“I am not sure that the reach of your plant magic achievements will only be limited in the area around Kastala Palace,” said Larisa. “Isn't that so?”

“That's right,” says Rivata. “Thanks to the Rimasti Amulet given by Mr. Faraq, I am sure that my magic range can reach the entire Kastala Island.”

“That's great,” says Faraq.

“I will escort them both to the dungeon first,” Rivata said as he turned around and stepped foot. Endan and Sofia floated low and followed him.

“It's time,” said Faraq. “I will recover the disaster on the island of Kastala just by using this Rimasti necklace that I am using.”

“Tuan Faraq,” says Frigg. “As you know, at the beginning, we shook this Palace using the five Rimasti green necklaces we were using, right?”

“Not us,” Faraq rectify, “play you guys.”

Larisa seemed to not understand. “Means?”

“It is true that all of the Rimasti green amulets we use have the same benefits.” Faraq took off the green necklace he was wearing. “However, you must know that my amulet is different. This is because my talisman has five Rimasti green talisman powers combined into one.”

“Do you mean – really, Mister?” ask Frigg.

“You don't need to worry,” Faraq put back his amulet. “I will be able to recover this Kastala earthquake in just seconds.”

Frigg chuckles. “Sadly we have made them do – stupid things even though this periodic earthquake that is happening can be restored in seconds.”

“That's right,” Larisa fix her hair. “Meeting done, damage inflicted, even large tasks executed become useless – due to this.”

Faraq walked up to the fence and observed the damage caused by the stub of his plan. Larisan and Frigg were also standing beside him. Currently, Malvin was heading to the Lumina Forest to kill Prince Uzan. Raphael also asked permission to check the situation around the palace environment so that he could give more information to him.

However, Faraq also knew the reason for Rafael's permission. He did not want to see King Endan and Queen Sofia here because he would be asked for an explanation and considered a traitor. It is undeniable that what is being done by him is a betrayal. But this was to help him to rule over the world of Namaril and gain a share of his power.

Faraq released his necklace back. Then, he grasped the Rimasti Amulet with his right palm and grabbed it while closing his eyes and chanting the incantation.

Arriving – arrived, a white glow exploded from the necklace itself, blowing the wind that spread its spark throughout the Kastala Palace region.

Not long after, the entire region became silent and silent. Not even a sound was heard. Faraq, Frigg, and Larisa only observed the scene of Afternoon that gradually darkened due to the slowly sinking sun.
