YUWARAJA
Eddi Escapees
To the west of the Palace, there is a building made specifically to lock up criminals. The building that is made to resemble a sturdy fortress looks older when compared to other buildings. There were cannons on each side, always heavily guarded by the Soldiers who took turns every four hours.
In the Kingdom of Harsana, crimes are divided into two types, namely light and heavy crimes. When someone disrupts public order, commits pickpocketing, extortion, threats, and acts of violence that do not endanger lives, then it will fall into the category of petty crime.
Meanwhile, if there is someone who committed murder, robbery, rebellion, corruption, and abuse of power, then it will be included in the category of serious crimes. When a person commits a minor crime, he will be placed in an outer prison, while for those who have committed a serious crime, he will be placed in a dungeon.
"Fuwa .. isn't it time for our rest?" A bearded warrior who yawned asked the friend next to him. There were eye bags on the soldiers eyes that indicated that they had not slept since last night because they were busy guarding the prison gates.
"Patience, maybe soon," replied his friend in a flat voice.
Sometimes they feel confused, actually this guard is not much needed considering the number of soldiers who are inside, not to mention that this place was designed so meticulously that it was very difficult to be able to enter and exit at will. Yes .. but what can be done, they only carry out the mission to be able to support the Son and Wife, so that they can not escape from this task that feels boring.
"Sorry, I'm late. Now you can rest" said a soldier who ran up to them.
"Finally, please!" said the two soldiers in a happy tone.
"Serakhan to me!" The soldier saluted the military to the two of them.
"Are you the new kid?" asked the bearded soldier, remembering that he had seen him for the first time.
"Ah, right. I was first assigned here, "he replied without hesitation.
"Is that so? Spirit, yes. New boy!" While giving his thumbs up his hands the two Soldiers moved away.
Since it was early morning so the Soldiers on duty were slightly restricted, leaving only half the number of guards at night. Instead of guarding the gate, but the soldier who had just arrived earlier instead went into the Prison. The entrance of the Prison was always guarded by Soldiers on both sides. When they saw that someone was approaching, they immediately stopped him by crossing the spear they were carrying. However after the Man took out a letter from his pants pocket, making the two Warrior Door guards startled and instantly let him in.
"Who is he?" ask one of the soldiers to be astonished.
"Come," the soldier shrugged his shoulders indicating that he did not know either, "but since he had an entry permit he must have been the one who filed it."
"Yes, you're right too" replied the other soldier agreeing.
They didn't really understand why a mediocre-looking Soldier could have the license, but all they knew was that anyone with a license entered the dungeon, definitely not just anyone.
***
In one of the dungeon cells was a young man who had lost one of his arms. The young man who still has a deep hatred for Nataprawira who has been carrying out a rebellion and assassination plot against Candra. The young man was Eddi, the son of the King's Advisor and the Princess' childhood friend.
Eddi sat in the corner of the room. He scratched his nails on the floor to count the days in the cell, though referred to as a prison, but this place was quite clean with the Mattress on the right and the Toilet on the left.
A day had passed since Eddi was thrown into prison, but for him a day seemed so long and boring. Time is stifled, moving so slowly as a turtle tries to run.
After seeing how powerful Dierja and Nataprawira's forces were, he finally understood that he could never destroy Dierja and his army if it only moved by itself, he could never destroy it, but he was very lucky to have met such a powerful ally who had the same goal.
A few days ago, before the arrival of Nataprawira's entourage arrived in the Kingdom of Harsana, Eddi met a mysterious Man who was carrying various high-quality weapons. The man gave the weapon to Eddi on condition that he should be able to kill Candra. Prince, as well as the only son of King Nataprawira.
The weapon given by the mysterious Man was a high quality weapon produced by the Askara Kingdom, not to mention the identification marks he displayed indicating that the Man was not an ordinary person. That alone is enough to prove the identity of the man, at least he is not someone who comes from Nataprawira, Eddi believes and is sure of this.
It is unfortunate that his plan failed. Eddi did not know that Candra was very strong, in stark contrast to the reports he got. Not to mention, someone managed to kill his friend who could control the white fog so that their profits disappeared in an instant and finally there was only a loss on his part.
"Look at you, you've become so pitiful" said one man who came out of nowhere.
Eddi was not too surprised by this man's arrival, because he was sure that sooner or later there would be someone coming to save him, but he did not expect that someone as important as himself would come for him.
The man opened the door with the key he carried, his every move so natural without any awkwardness that proved that he was so well trained. In that instant, Eddi immediately got up from his seat, he walked up to the Door with a sinister smile on his lips he said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Eddi immediately ran out following the man. The door that was supposed to be guarded tightly by some soldiers suddenly deserted without passing by the guards. They ran with echoing sounds in the prison hallways, but somehow not a single guard came to them.
When Eddi looked into the cell, it turned out that everyone was asleep, both Prisoners and Soldiers. Without realizing it, Eddi was already at the door which was the only access in and out of the Prison.
Eddi looked at the man before him, for a moment Eddi could see that this man also looked strange about the situation, but after the man spoke his doubts began to disappear.
"Just relax, I've put everyone to sleep!" the man said while opening the door.
"Go first, my men are waiting for you there." The man took out a piece of paper and handed it to Eddi.
Eddi just nodded following orders, after he changed his clothes to Harsana warrior clothes, Eddi immediately went out to the place where they were gathered, following the direction of the man who was clearly drawn on the paper he gave.
On the other hand, the mysterious man went back into the prison. He stood in front of one of the Prisoner's cells, he took out a sword neatly tucked away on his waist. He slashed at one of the cell doors, just then the iron bars in front of him slashed neatly like chopped meat.
The man immediately entered the cell and approached a prisoner who was inside. He slapped, hit and kicked the prisoner to wake up from his dream.
"Who are you? How dare you hit me!" the prisoner was angry.
Unconcerned, the mysterious man again kicked the prisoner so he hit the wall very hard. The prisoner was lying limp on the floor. As he was about to get up, without realizing that a sword had stuck beside his ear, a crisp sound could be heard leaving a tear like a piece of paper cut off.
The mysterious man began to lean closer to his face until their noses could touch. With a horrible smile towards him he said, "You are now free. So do the other prisoners."
Seeing the inhuman expression, the prisoner could only gulp while nodding obediently.
"This is the key, free them all. Once you get out of here you can do whatever you want." The man threw a stack of keys next to the prisoner.
The man pulled out the sword still stuck on the wall that was slowly beginning to break apart. He ignored the screams of pain from the prisoner because his ears were scratched again by the sharpness of the sword blade. After flicking his sword towards the floor to get rid of the blood that was still attached, the mysterious man came out casually as if nothing had happened.
"that's scary."
Several times Tahana was sighing heavily and long trying to rise from the terror he just received. After feeling a little calm, the Prisoner began to stand up, but his mouth still trembled withstanding the pain and fear in the heart. It's just that, he still forced himself because he wanted to quickly get out of this place that was considered cursed.
