TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
016 - ORDER OF KANJENG GUSTI PRINCE (1)

Smooth tapering fingers pulled the horse's harness, stopping its mount beside the striking carriage, whose right and left sides stretched a gold-embroidered cloth. He pulled the curtain until it looked like a girl was sleeping.

The two eyebrows of the girl were tangled when a light suddenly pierced her net. He opened his eyes still linking annoyed eyebrows at the perpetrator of his peace bully. "Sudewi?" his mind caught the figure that was disturbing his sleep.

This time there was not a single piece of jewelry stuck to her body. Gold wulang cloth, breastplate cloth to the waist of the noble women was not worn, it was a plain brown cloth worn wrap his body up to the feet. "In disguise?" presumably Idaline noticed the people who stopped her carriage were also dressed in worn clothes, but the firm and authoritative aura of the knights did not disappear from them.

"Raden Ajeng, where are you going? I'm looking for you around the kingdom to every remote corner, never to find you" said Sudewi saw Idaline was conscious.

"It's rude to disturb people to sleep!" ketus Idaline wiped her face. His emotional sensitivity was high, he knew Sudewi did not like him and he again felt dislike.

First impressions are so impactful in relationships like friendships, it can be very difficult to remove the bad impression at the beginning rather than knowing after getting to know more deeply. Idaline once again rubbed her face away from the childish nature that had begun to pervade her.

"The prince wants to see him. You go!" utah Sudewi expelled Siji and Loro who stood next to the train, swiftly protecting the passengers inside.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor. Mr. Mahapatih ordered us to bring His Highness Raden Ajeng Paramudita to his residence." said Siji a little hesitant. Cold sweat came out on his forehead. He and his younger brother, Loro, are between two people who cannot be denied.

"Tell me this is Kanjeng Gusti Prince's order!" reply Sudewi slightly hardened his voice, angry at the commoners who dared to reply to his words.

"Well, Raden Ajeng." resigned Siji ready to accept the disappointment of his master.

"I have no business with you guys." Idaline stared lazily at the people waiting for her to come out. He closed his mouth and yawned wide and rested his back on the wall of the car because drowsiness had not disappeared from his eyes.

"Because Raden Ajeng Paramudita does not want to come alone. The bodyguard! Get Raden Ajeng!"

Idaline has not had time to protest, her body has been frozen and her hands tied to a rough rope. Then the guards forced him off the train. "HOW DARE YOU GUYS!" he tried to escape.

"This is because Raden Ajeng did not want to obey. Put it here!" Sudewi patted the back of his horse.

"Aw!" Idaline's view blurred after her nape was hit. He looked at everyone involved.

••

Sudewi sat in front of Idaline watching her moving eyes begin to open. His glance hesitated and then disappeared without a trace. He looked seriously at Idaline and muttered, "I don't really want to do this. But I actually have to do it."

Idaline looked weakly at Sudewi. The punch on the nape greatly shocked his small body. He felt his head hit by a big rock. "Have I committed a crime?" tanyanya.

"Yes. It's huge."

"What's that?"

"You burned the village and even killed the only prince of a kingdom."

"When did that happen?"

Sudewi turned his face away. Idaline's question hit her consciousness hard. The incident was actually very far behind, his heart so asked what exactly was he doing this?

The condoned head shook slowly. "It is better to take one life than hundreds of innocent victims" his inner self assured the decision he had taken.

"Maybe yesterday. Maybe tomorrow too." lontar Sudewi answered Idaline's question.

The newly appointed Raden Ajeng looked up and chuckled until the man dressed in all black outside the hut was astonished. Curiously he peeked at the atmosphere in the dark room that only had illumination from the light that rushed in from the perforated roof.

Idaline's weak body recovered to hear the joke that Sudewi threw. Their vilification for bringing him down was very unreasonable. How can a teenager without strength and without power do all that? Then what's the reason? And what did he say? Maybe yesterday, maybe tomorrow?

"It's been quite a joke! I just got back from a long trip." Once again Idaline looked weakly at Sudewi hoping that the cute girl would let him go. The crime she committed would be Idaline considered a joke of a child who was afraid of losing a mother's affection. "Let's just relax I won't set foot in the palace if there's no need."

"Where is the third young master Ekadanta?" tanya Sudewi recalled her bodyguard's information that Idaline went with Candra. He had not found Candra since Idaline came, adding to the anxiety in the recesses of his heart.

"He is learning."

"Don't joke!" sudewi got up from his seat. He stood in front of Idaline, his eyes full of anger. "Where is the third young master Ekadanta?" reload Sudewi shook Idaline's shoulder.

"Search at Pendopo Srengenge."

Sudewi let go of his hand hearing Idaline's reply. Pendopo Srengenge is famous for the honesty of his people despite having fallen, everyone assumes that is the reason the Great Hermit entrusts his handwriting there.

"What changed?" his mind is doubtful. Sudewi never knew Candra's life before entering academia. No one talks about it except gossiping about the curse and mocking him as a dog who always follows his master.

Sudewi's body again landed on the chair located in front of Idaline, his brown eyes looking seriously at Idaline. "Didn't you remember?"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course you don't remember. I told you,"

••

"Who would do such a heinous deed?" sudewi's hands trembled at the blood pooling and one village flattened to the ground. The ashes of former burnt houses as well as plants, animals, and humans gathered into one. No sign of his life or his ex.

"Idaline, you go report the atmosphere here to the regent of Kabalan" said a crouching teenager checking the ash piles.

"Yes, ayunda. His Majesty Kakanda is right." said Sudewi justifying. "When you leave quickly, we'll check deeper." he was worried about Idaline pecking on the spot.

When the back of the cat in their dormitory is injured from a fight, Idaline does not sleep for three days treating the wound until it closes perfectly. Her adoptive sister was very worried even though her hands were trembling in fear seeing the wound open wide, but still the girl did the treatment with her own hands.

Sudewi retreated to the back to find a cold gaze of Idaline that he had never seen. Beside him Hayan fell to the ground holding his throat.

"A-dunda, ayunda. Please brother." Sudewi looked at Idaline and Hayan alternately. He was horrified to see Hayan's neck swell as if it was about to break. He hoped that Idaline would bring Hayan back to the regent's residence as soon as possible.

Idaline walked to Sudewi. Squatting before him, Idaline clasps Sudewi's jaw with her thumb and index finger. "It's like you didn't eat my cake." Idaline gave off a pitch-black aura around her, the black aura gradually entering the Sudewi body.

"Ayunda.in.na.pa?"

"Are you a fool? Seeing this aura you should understand."

"Black science?" gumam Sudewi was almost speechless. "W-how could the teacher in the academic not know?" shouted Sudewi with all his might.

Unbelieving in his vision, Idaline stayed with him in academia for four full years, obedient to the rules and talented in many branches of the arts.

It was impossible during that time that black magic escaped the academic security of the kingdom.

Idaline sat on the rock staring at Sudewi who was holding her chest uncomfortably. He piled his right leg up onto his left and said, "They know and have treated me. In fact I planted the seeds not only put a black aura on my body."

His eyes glanced at Hayan who was helplessly sprawled, at the corner of those empty eyes was a tear that came out of his deepest heart, not expecting the owner of his heart to be that hard on him.

"Ckck." decak Idaline saw the weak heirs of a great empire. Such a person should have a cold heart and great strength.

"Ah my prince, you definitely cannot bear without the presence of your two parents. And Sudewi, your dear father, I will gladly bring you together so as not to feel the pain of separation."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Everything is fake, right? Everything's a lie, right? Is this just a dream?!"

"really. You will then gather in Heaven." Idaline raised her hand to arrange the woods around Hayan and Sudewi using magic.

"Paradise huh?" Sudewi felt his body no longer sick but unable to move.

"Because you've absorbed all that aura. We're starting your departure." Idaline plucked her hand, and the fire burned the wood around Hayan and Sudewi.

"Is Ayunda unhappy with us? Did we ever have a fault with Ayunda?" tanya Sudewi does not believe people as good as Idaline do cruel things. His mind was filled with allegations of wrongdoing that they had done until Idaline fostered a grudge.

"I'm happy when I spend time with you." Idaline looked at the two bodies that were almost exposed to fire.

"Then come back, ayunda. Don't sacrifice yourself. Save yourself and then take our revenge" said Sudewi still can't believe Idaline did everything that happened.

"Why do you think that?"

"Ayunda must have done this. The seed that Ayunda spoke of must have controlled the ayunda. Live and take our revenge on them after your father is free." replied Sudewi full of hope.

Idaline laughed out loud. He put water at the end of his eyes and said, "They planted it is the seed of black magic, not the seed of slavery. I'm very aware of what I'm doing."

"Why should Ayunda look sad–" Sudewi looked at Idaline.

"Once talking. We go together to our families." cut off Idaline. He rose up to his feet toward the straw that was burning with black fire. "Leader, if you lie to me. Don't blame me for coming to collect a debt from you" he said, entering the fire.

Not yet had his feet entered, a white light appeared from the direction of Sudewi and Hayan who were lying, extinguishing the red flames around them. Candra glued her palm to the ground and cast a few spells and a much larger white light shot out.

Idaline's jaw hardened, her eyes piercing Candra who looked at her with a sad expression mixed in disappointment.

"This is what it's like to be bitten by your own dog" Idaline said before the light consumed her body.

"I thought men approached you out of admiration for your talent, you seduced them!" Sudewi pointed to Idaline's face. "When we get back to this point again, I won't just let you go."

Sudewi gets word that there are black magic people hiding in the middle of the forest when Idaline returns from the drugstore, then the plot is correct and he only needs to eliminate people who will cause disaster.

"The nightmare is over, Wiwi."

Sudewi gasped at Idaline's words. When the nightmare comes without permission, Idaline who is at home with him in academia calms herself down with the same sentence.

"His dream is gone and his evil is gone." Idaline stared at the ceiling of the hut where she was held, counting the rest of the time for her to return.

No matter what the situation, he had to endure. He does not want to die without a name and without the company of loved ones.

"It's gone, huh?"

"Leave a dream when you wake up. Make happiness in reality and avoid the ugliness that tries to hit." added Idaline.

"Reality.."

"Prince don't have to hide out there, come tell me clearly my mistake. If I did, I wouldn't run." Idaline stared at the window where someone was peeping. Black clothes are very striking behind the bright atmosphere outside the room.

Hayan entered the club, his clothes were all black with a caping, a straw hat wrapped in black cloth so that he could not see his face. "You haven't done it yet, but you probably will. If the seed that Sudewi spoke is true, then you will not be able to run."

One day Hayan woke up with a strong sense of hate, and then he felt even more hate when people talked about Idaline.

At first he thought that he had been scolded by the queen after he had made Idaline a shield when the hitman tried to kill her.

Though long before, Indudevi and her foster mother had replaced her position and the queen was not angry.

Then Sudewi came to tell about the things he had experienced, Hayan thought maybe the hatred he felt came from there.
