TWO PRINCESSES
Chapter 15's

The morning air pierced my skin. I woke up, sitting with my hands blocking the light that hit my eyes. Bemoan. I looked towards Neftaza, he was still sleeping very well. I moved from the bed to the bathroom. I don't know, I think today will be the beginning of the seriousness of both of us living in this world.

I was soaking in water filled with rose petals. Very fragrant. It's very soothing. I daydreamed, thinking about the problems that befell our kingdom. I think a war is going to happen, I don't know when. Ten more years? Five more years? or another year? I don't know. Is this just my guess? But this feeling really scared me.

For a moment my daydream stopped because of Neftaza's voice that shocked me.

"Huh, I'm so tired..!" Neftaza cried lethargic.

"Lo why? your speech is formal? Lo to sambet?" ask Angela wonder.

"Hemm.. know..." Neftaza replied as he headed to his bathtub..

"Lo thought also is the problem that befalls our government?" ask Angela.

"Yes, it looks so clearly on the faces of the father and the prince.." Neftaza replied, closing his eyes.

"I'm worried, and I'm scared, too.." Angela is sad.

"Your talk is also formal..!" Neftaza opened his eyes while looking at Angela.

"We are serious again, our barbaric attitude is lost without us noticing..." Answer Angela.

"Yes, our weird habit..." Neftaza.

"What are our activities today?" Ask Angela.

"Hemm,, don't know..."

"Btw, we live in this world for almost a year, right?" Neftaza.

"Hemm... Doesn't it feel weird? as long as we're here, there's no significant problem or maybe it's coming soon?" exclaim Angela.

"We have to be careful," replied Neftaza, ending the conversation.

-------------

We headed out to the dining room. The mood this morning looks different. Bleakest? Yes, it is very gloomy even though the sunlight shines on this world. Wh why? I don't know..

I saw the look on the faces of the father and the prince did not look happy. They have a pretty complicated problem.

"Dad...!"

"Yes baby..!" The answer.

"This morning's atmosphere is so different, is there anything we don't know?" neftaza asked.

"Hemm, let's eat first, and then I'll tell you." The answer.

Then we eat. In the room all that was heard was the sound of a spoon picking up food on a plate. That's very grim. Like there is life, but there is no life.

It didn't take long, we were done. The waiters took our leftover plates for breakfast. Now the table had only a teapot and glass on it.

I noticed the look on the faces of their fathers and princes hesitating to tell me about the matter.

We both just noticed they were confused.

"Have you ever heard the story of the emperor?" Ask dad.

I just scrunched my forehead. I never heard.

"Let's go, Dad, it seems like we've never heard of it!" Neftaza answered.

"Dad heard the story of the previous emperor from your grandfather.. The previous emperor was a very cruel emperor, but with the passage of time the great kingdoms did not respect the emperor because the emperor was very evil in their eyes. The kingdoms were so against the rule of the emperor that it made the once cruel emperor become an increasingly violent emperor. I heard the emperor is allied with the devil. The emperor destroyed the kingdoms with the help of the demons. However, there is a kingdom that has magic. And that was when the great war on the continent took place. They killed each other and eventually one of the magic sealed the demons until now.

They're all dead except for the surviving descendants in hiding." Dad said at length. We are hearing very seriously.

"What rules made them rebel father?" Askaqua.

"Rules that make you angry. The emperor ordered that if a woman who was not married at the age of 17, she would be be beheaded. So from the time a new woman is born before the age of 17 years they already have a fiancee. But if the male fiancee does not want to marry the woman then the woman is beheaded.Yes like where women are not valued at all by men. It was the emperor's rule, so many kingdoms were opposed, yet they couldn't fight the emperor easily." Father explained.

Then the prince Hasper chimed in on the father's words.

"The rule is still passed by the descendants of the emperor until now, but they abolished some things." Prince Hasper said seriously.

"So what is Gege?" Tanya Neftaza.

"But we don't have a fiancee and soon we're 17.." I then looked at them.

"They abolished it, but every kingdom should have only one empress and should have four children. When you adopted Jessi, you hid it from the emperor so that our kingdom would be safe" replied Prince Hasper.

"And the fact that if the king loses their empress is not allowed to remarry if they ignore the rule then the kingdom will be destroyed by the emperor.." Prince Casper chimed.

"Isn't that cruel? They don't appreciate women at all..!" I'm angry.

"Even the emperor who killed his own empress by being beheaded, they did indeed greatly disrespect women, they thought the duty of a woman was only to give birth to their offspring, they thought, once they get the male offspring they kill the female. But the rule was abolished because the descendants of the emperor and the kingdoms had an agreement so that until now they could live peacefully even though in the end they had anxiety that greatly frightened them." Said the king.

"I mean dad?" Neftaza asked confusedly.

"Dad is not sure if the present emperor does not have that intention anymore. If that happens then you're the women he's after.." Said my own father.

"And didn't the previous emperor have a demon ally? Not that all the demons disappeared, but they were just hiding under the protection of the present emperor." The words of Prince Hasper chimed.

"So this is what's making you worried about me, Gege?" Neftaza.

"Dear, dear, I heard some kingdoms were worried about a small kingdom that was destroyed by the emperor because he rebelled against the rule. And this makes you very worried that there will be a war that will destroy the entire continent..." Said father looking down with a sad face.

"If so, shouldn't we strengthen our father's kingdom? If Jessi's problem is heard by the Emperor, won't they destroy us because we are considered rebellious?" I'm firm.

"Yes father, not only that we have to find allies to destroy the emperor." Neftaza chimed.
