THE TEARS OF KUMARI KANDAM
CHAPTRE 45

After Daxraj expressed his disengagement in the war against Gaana*, Braheim repeatedly held emergency meetings. From these meetings, three results were obtained. First, the soldiers had to increase the intensity of the exercises for the sake of the war that could come at any time. Second, the temples had to produce more holy water which was a weapon that could weaken Gaana, and as soon as possible share it with the population.

The Gaana* is a sacred soul-eating creature that lives in the Mook Forest.

And finally, Jihan Joozher, Queen Kumari Kandam as well as Gaana's actual subordinates must be submitted to Rona*. Many people did not approve the results of the last meeting, because Jihan is famous for its good image. The party was finally compact to conclude if Braheim wanted to bestow Haala's mistakes on Jihan. But those who agree to believe, Braheim Bhaavesh is not a tyrannical king.

Rona* is the place where kings and queens will be tried if proven to commit sins related to the people. Rona is located in the middle of eight continents including Kumari Kandam. And the one who will be the judge in Rona is every leader of those eight continents.

The day of Jihan's arrest has arrived. It is seen that Bheim, accompanied by his advisor and deputy war commander Kumari Kandam, is standing in front of the door of Jihan's bedroom. The heavily armed soldiers, along with the servants who each held a chalice filled with holy water, looked nervous as Braheim began to knock on the door. But there's no answer. Everyone was getting more nervous, as Braheim gave the order to forcibly enter.

"It looks like he's already escaped."

Aswin suddenly gathered himself before Braheim. "Please give the order to pursue Her Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty."

"Yes. The Queen must be pursued immediately. But the situation out there is very dangerous because of Gaana being on the loose. I'll give this job to the others. For now return to your respective places."

"As per your orders, Your Majesty." Everyone answered and bowed compactly to Braheim.

Bheim turned to Murat who was still standing in his place. "Is there anything you want to say?"

"What are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

"As I've said. We have to catch up and get the queen."

"For what, Your Grace? Isn't letting him wander around out there no different than sending him to Rona?" ask Murat again.

"Surely different."

"Hamba doesn't understand, Your Majesty."

"At least in Rona he won't die."

"Which servant knows, those sent to Rona will definitely be sentenced to death."

Braheim crouched down, picking up utensils scattered on the floor. "Every kingdom on all continents sent her daughter to take the concubine selection exam. And the majority of those princesses came from families with the strongest combat force background."

Murat just listened, crouched down and picked this up. "Imagine if I choose seven concubines from the seven strongest combat forces on the continent and combine them with the Kumari Kandam combat forces."

"Maybe you mean?"

"Yes. It doesn't matter if Rona sentences the queen to death. If I say no, won't they choose assent instead of fighting with Kumari Kandam which could clearly make them lose seven derivatives?"

"Then for what purpose did you send Her Majesty the Queen to Rona?"

Bheim sighed. "He must be deterred so as not to dare again ignite forest fires like that time and destroy other palaces like the southeastern palace incident*."

The southeastern palace* is often called the queen's palace because the whole daily duties of the queen take place here. In addition, the southeastern palace is also the residence of people with high status such as the king's adviser, minister, war commander, chief investigator, as well as guests from outside Kumari Kandam.

"Son understood, Your Majesty."

"And I promised her late parents to protect her like my own little sister."

Murat looked so surprised, that he subconsciously dropped the comb in his clutches. "But Gaana instigated him, gave him the crown of Queen Kumari Kandam, and made him obsessed with me" Braheim added.

"You must be having trouble."

Spontaneous Bheim turned to Murat. "really. Wh why? Interested in replacing me? To look after her like your own sister?"

DEG!

...¤○●¤○●¤○●¤...

Babes jubilant babes who play with the sea breeze, chants of romantic songs played with medium volume, and the shy laughter of a group of girls who tell their love story, as well as the laughter, add to the atmosphere of life on the ship that will sail out of the Kumari Kandam Continent.

But who would have thought there was a disaster in their midst. That calamity, who else deserves it if not Gaana. With the appearance of the golden-haired young girl, the beast from the bastard smirked behind the green scarf that partially covered his fake face.

Gaana's saliva dripped, not strong enough to withstand the tantalizing aroma of the sacred souls that were here and there. But Gaana must survive, at least until the ship is out of Kumari Kandam. For it is futile that if Gaana attacks now, the security guards will only drag her to Braheim Bhaavesh.

"Show me your identity." A security officer approached Gaana.

Gaana did not reply, only reaching into a bag of gold coins from inside the robe and passing it to the security guard. "It turns out the stowaway."

"Yes" replied Gaana.

"This is not enough. Since the month Chhah* sailing fares for stowaways have been raised."

Chhah* june in hindi.

"That's all I have."

Gaana. "All right."

"Huh, basic. Dark passengers are troublesome."

"Hold . I won't win against that damn officer because my body is too weak. So hold. Hold on a little more" Gaana said in her heart.

...¤○●¤○●¤○●¤...

"Let your weapons down."

"Your Majesty. Please withdraw your orders. That's too dangerous. It could be Gaana who is incarnating, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty. If it wasn't Gaana, wouldn't we all know he's dead? It would be better if you give the order to attack, Your Majesty," the defense minister told the security minister.

"If in doubt, ask your Shadow Guard. They could definitely feel the evil air from him."

Bheim. "They're on duty."

"What's? So you mean right now there's nobody protecting you, is that it?" ask the defense minister in a half-screaming tone.

"What can I do."

"Your Majesty, your life is precious. Please careful. How can you move without being escorted by anyone. Actually as important a task as what do you give them until they leave the place?"

Bheim. "Isn't the only precarious task in the world related to women?"

"Your Majesty, wait. Squad one. Protect His Majesty Ra--"

"Stop. Or I'll lower your rank right now" Braheim told the defense minister.

"But, the Mu-"

"Enough. I understand your concerns but don't make things worse" Braheim again told the security minister.

At once hundreds of arrows pointing at the figure standing in the middle of the main courtyard of the Kumari Kingdom of Kandam were lowered, because the king suddenly descended from his throne. No matter how the defense and security ministers took turns shouting at them to return to arms, the soldier was not afraid of death to remain in a resting position.

The figure that was none other than Haala's father immediately bowed, when Braheim finally stood right in front of him. Not reckless or unafraid of death, Braheim has only believed in his keen instincts since Haala's father set foot in the Kumari Kingdom of Kandam an hour ago. The golden-haired man with the same eyeball color was not the incarnation of Gaana, nor was he human.

"Long live, and be bound always, the sun of Kumari Kandam."

"As you can see. Your presence makes the atmosphere here like war. So go ahead, "Braheim told Haala's father.

"Please join me in the fight against Gaana, Your Majesty."

"Servant objection, Your Majesty. How is it possible to include those who have been subordinates of Gaana?"

The security minister nodded repeatedly. "That's right, Your Majesty. What if he betrays himself in the middle of a war? Please think wisely, Your Majesty."

"What do you think? I can't deny what they're saying."

"Then you must give the servant a chance, Your Majesty," Haala's father told Braheim.

"Omong empty! Not even Lord Krpaya* will give a chance to the sinner your speerti," cried the defense minister.

Krpaya* is the God whom the Kumari Kandam people worship.

"Go back to fucker. Bring your damned master along, too." The security minister shouted.

"That's why I'm still here. The new Lord Krpaya will open the gate of Daraar* if I bring Gaana before him."

Daraar* is believed to be the spirit realm.

The ministers and even King Kumari Kandam were made silent a thousand languages by the terrible words of former war commander Kumari Kandam. Indeed there is no harm in including Haala's father, but the estimates of the defense minister and security minister can not only be considered wind. Bheim needs time to think, but it seems like the war is in sight.

"Gaana was hunting outside Kumari Kandam to recover strength. If he managed to obtain ten thousand saint souls, then even the strength of the eight strongest combat troops was just like dust to him," Haala's father added.

"Then? You're the only one who can kill him, right?"

Haala's father shook his head in response to Braheim. "No, Your Grace. But Ghinauna."

"Ghinuna? Baadal*?" ask Brahim again.

Baadal* is one of the sacred lakes in Kumari Kandam. It is said that Baadal was guarded by a giant fish named Ghinauna. Those who soak in Baadal will be purified from the rest of human filth, the rest of the food and drink, or the poison that settles in the body. But Ghinauna is known to be unfriendly, so very few people can soak there.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We just need to stop Gaana from getting ten thousand holy souls, attacking her weakly, and dragging her to Baadal. The basis of Baadal is frozen salt, Gaana which is half leech will naturally die. While half-human, will be devoured Ghinauna who has definitely rejected it."
