"Udelia?!"

"What are you doing?!!" udelia snapped at someone who was presumptuous with her.

The little baby in Udelia's sling suddenly cried loudly. The tiny creature was surprised because of the sound that held.

Throughout the ten days of his life, there had never been such a loud sound heard by his clumsily.

"Sorry baby, I'm not scolding you." Udelia stroked Raka's back which was crying loudly due to her snapping.

"Oek.. Oh, my.."

"Cup. cup dear."

Udelia did not care about the person who was already disrespectful to her.

He led Raka into the room. To calm her down and it was time to breastfeed the red baby.

"Sir, I'm so sorry. Even though you are Mahapatih, it is very rude to enter the mistress' room just like that," the servant reprimanded Djahan.

The glint of anger in Djahan's eyes made the servant's guts shrink, but unperturbed his body remained upright blocking Djahan who tried to enter the master's private room and his mistress.

Djahan rubbed his face violently. Too surprised to make him unconscious of his purpose of coming to Ekadanta's residence.

He can't be rash. It would be a problem if he mistook.

Although..

Djahan believes his vision is not wrong.

"Evocate the madam to come. Look, this is an order from the Maharaja!" djahan's word can not be denied.

"Mr Mahapatih, you told me you were going to meet me, not my wife" said Candra, who came by holding a piece of paper carried by the pigeons.

The waiter who whispered to her reported the arrival of a red pigeon carrying a secret message.

Candra did not expect that it was the message of Mahapatih's arrival.

Tau this he will hide Udelia to a place that Mahapatih will not reach, despite exerting all his strength!

"The message just arrived. So I don't welcome it right" added Candra trying to divert Djahan from Udelia.

Candra was grateful that her servants moved quickly to close access from the inside, closing doors and windows, so that no one could steal the view from outside the building.

"I sent pigeons because all the servants were rejected. Who would have thought you were hiding such a big thing here?"

Gigi Djahan churning. Stupidly he did not think of this possibility!

Candra who was busy everyday in the palace, how could she possibly meet the puja woman so quickly!?

As he himself knew, Candra put her heart on his wife, Udelia!

You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!

Djahan cursed himself. Three years she's been lied to by this date!

"We never hide anything. We better talk in the hall, dear Lord Mahapatih" Candra asked.

"Mr Ekadanta, you must explain this first." Djahan pointed at the majestic house in front of him with a sharp gaze.

"Not as you think. I dare to vouch for it."

Djahan took a breath. Trying to control yourself.

If he was in a hurry, it was likely that Candra would move quickly to eliminate any evidence of Udelia's existence.

He should play pretty and not rashly.

He must first see the truth of the woman.

His face was not very visible in Djahan's eyes because the woman was constantly busy with the baby in her cradle.

Maybe, it could have been wrong Djahan.

"This letter is shown to the head of the Ekadanta family. Is it appropriate that family members in this residence do not appear during the decalogue reading?" said Djahan after self-control.

This way he can ascertain whether it is true that he saw Udelia or just someone who looks similar to his wife.

There were only two possibilities about the woman, she was Udelia or someone similar to Udelia.

Candra did not immediately reply to the words of the number two person in her country.

He was looking for the right decision.

Replacing his wife with another woman is impossible. Making his wife absent from their meeting, more unlikely.

Djahan is very sensitive. Candra had lost her way in front of her.

Candra looked at Djahan who was waiting for his answer. He smiled and replied, "Of course not, sir. Please."

***

The servants were busy preparing Udelia to meet the guests.

Udelia frowned bitterly because the guest she met must have been the man who had acted less aj*r and also the man was from the palace.

"There is no good thing when it comes to the palace," said Udelia.

Udelia entered the tension-filled hall between Candra and Djahan. They faced each other, drinking tea with an aura that could stop the rate of breath until it choked.

Surprisingly, Udelia did not feel afraid.

He lightly stepped his foot.

"Hamba salutes the Lord Mahapatih."

"Udelia–" Djahan held back his lips.

That woman was acting strange. The bridge cannot be rushed.

"I came to give the order of His Majesty the Emperor in red ink," said Djahan.

Candra helped Udelia to rest in front of Djahan the Mahapatih, ready to accept the red order from Hayan the Maharaja.

"Through this written letter. I, Maharaja Bhumi Maja, express my utmost appreciation to Candra Ekadanta who always participated in wars and conquests without ever being missed. The promise not to include activities in the palace is still running. But as a form of business unification of the archipelago, there are still many areas that have not arrived. For that I ordered the Head of the Ekadanta Family, Candra Ekadanta, to come to conquer the Malano Kingdom which has many reliable witches, leading its magic army as before."

"Hamba received the orders of His Majesty the Emperor."

With a heavy heart Candra accepted the order. There is no other way if the paper has been engraved by ink, whether black, red, or gold.

Candra stared at the nano of the letter that Djahan was rolling. There was no way he would bring his wife and children to the battlefield.

He had to think of a safe place for the three of them.

Djahan gave Candra a letter. Then the man looked at Udelia who was looking down very deeply.

"Bless your face" said Djahan.

From Udelia's posture, Djahan was able to ascertain the identity of the woman.

He just wants to prove his prejudices.

Slowly the face lifted. His eyes stared confusedly at the strange man who was less as*m.

"Yes?" sahut Udelia raised her head and looked at the puzzled Djahan.

Usually the people of the palace did not care about the woman on the side of the heads of the families.

Several times a big man came. Everyone was busy and focused on her husband. Only Rakryan Tumenggung that makes him never restless and the strange man in front of him, who cares about his existence.

A pair of eyes that had lashes tightly closed when Djahan's hand pointed at him.

He was afraid that the man would commit an act of violence.

His face was very cold and cold.

"Udelia.. why. ti.dak da... tang to me?" asked Djahan, his voice trembling.

"Master, you scared my wife." Candra encourages Djahan to stay away from his wife. Then he helped Udelia stand up without the permission of her superior.

"Ha wife!?" djahan said he did not believe. "Idaline, no, Udelia, come with me!" He held Udelia's hand.

"Please take care of your attitude" said Candra

"Master, let go of your hands!" pinta Udelia firmly.

The man in front of him turned out to be completely lacking aj^r.

Djahan released his hand on Udelia's wrist as he heard Udelia's resolute voice.

The gaze of the eyes that seemed to stare at a stranger made Djahan's heart feel squeezed.

Her lover, who married another man for the second time, had already hurt her heart.

This was coupled with a foreign gaze on his two sense of sight when staring at him.

The world of Djahan was destroyed, unknown to Udelia.

"Udelia, it's me, Djahan."
