To the south of Nataprawira lies the State completely surrounded by water. On the same flat plain it looked like an island separated from the outside World. There is a super large tree that became the center of the place whose leaves resemble an umbrella that seemed to protect the island from the harsh and cruel World.
The slightly raised island that forms a cone below it, animals and plants with large sizes above the normal average size that makes this place blessed with rare and unique things. The land that is always rained, no day without black clouds dropping water droplets that have become commonplace for residents there. Surprisingly, only the area was rained, while the surrounding area was so dry that a single drop of water could not be seen there.
This country is known as Harsana. The kingdom that has stood for hundreds of thousands of years, it makes this place as the oldest Kingdom in the Continent of Shembrani.
"Dad, can you repeat it again" said a beautiful woman.
In the Throne Room of Harsana Kingdom, the atmosphere there was so tense from the many people present that none of them spoke up. There was a Beautiful Girl who became the center of the tension. This girl never moved from her place, continued to insist on paying respect to the King who had been sitting on the Throne.
"Your engagement to the Royal Prince of Nataprawira is fixed." The voice of the King was so clearly heard that it cut sharply into the silence in everyone's ears.
The girl nodded expressionlessly. He could barely digest the existing reality, for a moment he even doubted his own hearing. If he were faced with the details of the needles that blocked every street, he would not hesitate to step there, rather than be engaged to the Prince of that Kingdom, but he knew that his life was no longer his. He could never dispute the King's word.
"After Nataprawira's visit, we will discuss when the day of your engagement."
"If the King has made up his mind, I will obey him without hesitation."
For the sake of his people and Kingdom, he was even ready to sacrifice himself. If it's already this way, it's better to dive in the heat of the fire than to have to live, but it's meaningless. At least if he is engaged to Prince Nataprawira, his people will be able to live more safely.
"It's good that it is. Siska, you can go now!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The girl immediately came out after saluting the King. He closed the door slowly, he leaned back with his hand still grasping the doorknob. He let out a heavy and long sigh as he said with a small whisper in his ear, "I-I knew it would end like this."
When word got out that the Kingdom of Gandana was sending a Proposal to the Kingdom of Askara, it was then that he felt that his Father would have the same thought. He knew that his betrothal would strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries, but his heart still refused and could not accept if it had to be engaged to the Prince who was famous for his cold heart.
"Despite that ..." - he wrote.
As a girl, of course, she wants to be in a relationship with someone she loves, not with strangers or through matchmaking.
"At least, let me choose my own life companion." Tears began to slowly drip from those beautiful round eyes that soaked her soft white skin.
For some reason, even with the sound of rain he could still hear the moans of his heart very clearly. Rainwater that usually looks beautiful and calm and neutral without taking sides, now like shoulder to shoulder to be able to drop it. For the first time, she felt pain when she saw the raindrops and for the first time too, she began to hate herself who was born as Princess Harsana the Rain Country.

"Your Majesty, are you sure?" ask an Old Man.
The man was a Royal Counselor. He has carried out this task even since the previous King. Everyone present in the room looked towards the King who was still clutching the letter paper in his hand. They all knew exactly who sent the letter, it must have contained a reply from the Nataprawira Kingdom.
"Of course, even though I'm actually not willing to let go of my beloved daughter," she replied in great distress.
The King knew that his current daughter must be very sad, even though she was not someone who understood the meaning of heart reading, but at least as a Father, he said, he could understand and be sure of what his beloved daughter was feeling. If not for prosperity and security for the Kingdom. She, did not want her son to marry someone who was famous for being cold.
"Then, why?" shouted a young man.
The young man did not cover up his hatred as well as his disappointment, even though it was still before the King. For the first time the young man was not satisfied with the decision made by the King.
Everyone implied a sense of dissatisfaction towards the Youth. They actually also feel reluctant if they have to release their Royal Princess to the land of the corruptors and dictators, but what is permissible, this decision is solely for political purposes. No one felt more sad than the King himself considering that he was his real father who should have been The young man also knew of that fact.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!" The young man came forward and rested before the King as a form of apology.
"Thank your head. Working may not be a good person, but he will never abandon his own family" said the King with confidence.
She may not be very close to King Nataprawira, but she is certain that her daughter will be able to live quite well in the Kingdom. Although Dierja is known as a dictator and also does not pay much attention to his own people, but at least the King knows that Dierja will not kill someone without a definite reason.
"All right if that's the case. Excuse me," The young man immediately got up and came out without saluting.
"Hey!?" everyone shouted furiously.
"Based on the boy. Forgive him Your Majesty," the Old Man bowed his head apologizing for representing the Youth earlier. The King simply waved his hand as a sign to let the Youth go.
After leaving the Throne's room. The young man was walking around the backyard garden of the Palace. His eyes implied a domineering dissatisfaction as well as resentment. As the Princess' childhood friend, she wants to see her best friend's life happy. If only he had the same power as God. The first thing he would do was kill the dictator King and the Ice Prince. He doesn't care much about peace, he just wants his little friend to smile, even if it has to destroy life.
When the young man looked at the corner of the garden, there was a green-haired Beautiful Girl resembling a plant. The girl was seen watching one of the sun-like leafy flowers, she touched the flower with her beautiful finger flick.
The young man walked up to him, patting the Princess on the shoulder as he asked, "Daughter, what are you doing here?"
"God ... Eddi," he replied a little confused.
"You still thinking about that? No like? Let's tell the king." The young man pulled the Princess by the hand to force her to stand up and walk away.
"Eddi ..." cried the Princess in pain
Realizing that, the young man immediately released his grip. He may be so carried away by emotions that he does not realize the gaze of every servant is on him. The servants stopped their activities after hearing the Princess's cry.
"I'm sorry, I!" The young man bowed down a sign of regret.
"It's okay. I'm fine," he said slowly, "my life is no longer mine." The princess smiled with teary eyes. Then he ran away leaving the young man who still looked unmoved from where he stood.
Be okay? A smile that still looks slurred, but with a minor tone of voice, and an expression that has been monontonized horror films. And he still says it's okay. Really, silly.
What can I do for him? I want to help her, so that she can see her beautiful smile again. The Ice King and Prince were the cause. If I kill them, will it solve all the problems?

On the other hand, the Preparation of Candra and Nataprawira Kingdom in order to attend Harsana's invitation has been completed and they are ready to depart at any time.
"How are you preparing?" ask Candra to one of the soldiers.
"It's over, Prince. We can leave anytime!" replied the soldier excitedly.
The ship was operated using a machine by relying on magic energy stones. The ship, specially designed for transportation, can accommodate up to three hundred people. Ships that can also operate in the sea are different from aircraft devoted to combat. This ship is designed specifically only for goods and transportation of people.
There are three ships that will leave for the Kingdom of Harsana. So that the number of people who participate must be nine hundred people. Candra even thought if they intended to go to war? But given that the King was taking part, it wouldn't be too strange to see so many soldiers guarding them. The three ships began flying through the air, but Candra never knew that the beginning of the conflict that risked the future of every country would begin there.
