Two Princes One Love

Two Princes One Love
Damn it!


A few moments later...


The two palace guards came with my order. They looked tired after looking for what I wanted.


"Miss, forgive us. We're only able to get this amount."


I saw a lot of arrows in the bamboo basket. There were probably about thirty arrows.


"The other was used and became a decoration on the palace walls. We dare not take it," he said again.


"What's wrong. Let's put the target board on."


I asked them for help to put up the target board. Tonight I'm gonna spend some time practicing archery in the neighborhood around my room.


"It's over, Miss. It's safe."


Both guards confirmed that my training ground was conducive. I started shooting, trying to focus my vision on the target board.


One, two, three kids sped up. Enter the third circle of the target board. I continued to practice until I was right about the middle. Afterwards, I asked the guards to further keep the target board out of my sight.


I was so excited to practice. To the point of ignoring the presence of Aunt Rum who had arrived behind me.


"Miss Ara!"


The two guards bowed to look at Aunt Rum then rewinded their footsteps backwards. They seem to be worried about their own fate.


"Aunt Rum." I then saluted him.


"Miss, are you sleeping this late?" tanyanya.


"I'm sorry, Auntie. I just woke up and suddenly my mood was bad. Then I diverted it by practicing archery" I replied.


"But it's night, miss. You should immediately sleep, the air is getting colder," he continued as if forcing subtly.


"I tried, but I can't, Bi. My heart is so upset. It feels like shooting everyone who bothers me."


My words made Aunt Rum gulp her saliva. He seemed to shudder with the intonation suppression I made. He immediately withdrew from before me.


"alright. But don't bother the rest of the palace's inhabitants" he said, then left.


"good. Thank you," I said.


Huh... Just-there's.


I let out a breath. Aunt Rum's presence interfered with my concentration on returning archery. I am so lazy to practice.


"Miss, are you okay?" ask one of the guards.


"I'm fine. Maybe just need a drink," I said as I sat leaning against the porch.


"Miss, we'd better call Prince Rain to accompany you to practice."


"Eh?! No need!"


When I heard Rain's name, I immediately rose from my laziness.


"I can practice on my own. Enough of you two to stand guard and make sure this place is safe."


I immediately took the arrow and the bow back, then turned it over to the target board. I kept trying to get my arrows shot right in the middle.


The longer, the more used. Even though my hands were scuffed. As a result, I began to get used to archery with even further visibility.


I'll show him my skills.


I continued to practice at night with the help of garden lighting. Not felt, time passed so quickly. My sleepiness is back. I then asked the guards for help to clean up my training equipment.


The next day...


This morning the weather was cloudy, the sun was seen covered in black clouds. I asked Mbok Asri to send permission not to work to Cloud.


I got the flu, sneezed repeatedly and it felt like my body was shivering with cold. I feel the heart has a big effect on my health. I tried to fall because I was not able to carry out my duties.


I sleep all day, wake up, then go back to sleep. Until nightfall, I was still lying limp in bed. My throat still hurts to swallow.


I got word that Cloud had not returned to the palace yet because he was still holding meetings with wealthy merchants in the south of the city. I feel really alone.


...


By mid-night, I woke up hungry. My body is still shivering with fever. However, I was shocked when I saw many people in my room. They were wearing black clothes like thieves.


"Who are you?!" I asked some people who were rummaging through my closet and desk drawers.


One of them came up and grabbed my mouth. It was like I couldn't breathe.


"Come, hurry! Find files!" One of them warned the other.


I almost lost air. I'm trying to fight. I took the glass on the table beside my bed and smacked it into the person who grabbed my mouth.


"Aghhhh!"


The man was in pain and then let me go, I immediately ran out of the room.


Damnit damnit! The door cannot be opened.


I tried my hardest to open it, but I couldn't. I tried to break down my bedroom door from the inside, but one of them immediately grabbed me.


"Take me off! Release!" I said scream.


"That's a big deal, tie him up!"


Looks like the intruder leader of this room is commanding. I can't see the face behind that head covering.


"Please!!!" I screamed with all my might.


I wish someone had heard my screams. However, it seems like the situation outside my room is so quiet. Not a single bodyguard was heard.


My mouth was covered in cloth, my hands tied forward. And my legs are tied but not yet fully tied. I'm still trying to fight. I kicked the thigh of the man who tied me up and pushed the door open.


"Can!"


"Come, hurry!"


The men walked quickly, out of the room through an open window.


Damnit damnit!


I lost them. Looks like they're not after me, they're after the fashion design I made.


I continued to break down the door from the inside, but still couldn't. Don't know what's going on out there so this door can't be opened.


I ran towards the window. I see if my bedroom window is high enough. There was no other way but to jump from the window.


"Ouch!"


My feet hurt when I walked to the ground. I see the atmosphere is so quiet. Suddenly, the bodyguards screamed.


"There's an intruder!!!"


Turns out there was an intruder in the palace tonight. I ran to ask for help.


"Miss Ara. Holy jeez!"


Mbok Asri saw me walking straight. He immediately helped me untie the ties in my hands and mouth.


"Mbok, where's Prince?"


"Miss, you better not find the Prince first."


"Why, Mbok? I have to meet. There's an intruder trying to scramble and steal our files. I have to see Rain."


I immediately got up, then walked over to look for Rain. My footsteps were not able to walk perfectly because it still hurt.


"Miss, no!"


Mbok Asri tried to arrest me, but I refused. I immediately looked for Rain, running as I could. Yet apparently...


...


Arriving at the central room of the palace, I saw Rain being cornered.


Rain surrounded?!


I saw many sword-eye points directed at him. I peeked over the wall to see what was going on.


"Drop your sword or this old woman will die!"


An intruder threatened Rain, I saw Aunt Rum being held captive by one of the intruders.


"Command your men to throw away their weapons. Hurry along!"


Rain is like eating simalakama fruit. He would inevitably order his soldiers to throw away weapons and not fight the intruders.
