Black invisible smoke passed through the villagers who were panicking when a girl walking with them suddenly fell.

"I can't feel my pulse, and my heartbeat is weak. It looks like she fainted," said a middle-aged woman.

Black smoke soared up and then retreated, as if hiding near a bush. Pyash! The puff of smoke disappeared, transforming into a beautiful woman. The woman smiled and grinned, satisfied with what had happened.

"Poor girl," she said, flicking the red shawl, ye

    Rengganis took a step forward, staring at the waterfall inside the cave. “I will enter the Bamantara Kingdom and appeal to King Arutala,” Rengganis said with a sly smile.‘Just as I hoped,’ Khandra thought to himself. “Your Majesty, but what if King Arutala ends up supporting King Abra?”“At the very least, I won’t be killed on the spot. You can rescue me, infiltrate the palace like you did before when you saved me from the Cold Palace,” Rengganis said, then laughed again.“Very well, I will escort—”“There’s no need. I can cross the sea by hitching a ride. I only need money and clothes.” Rengganis looked down at her kemben, which had holes in several places. “You just need to gather our troops somewhere, Khandra. I will make sure King Arutala is on our side,” Rengganis said confidently.“I understand, Your Majesty. I believe we can stage a coup or another attack. You already seem ready.”“Ready or not, the sooner the better. One month from now, we’ll meet again at this place, Khandra

    Meanwhile, at the Main Palace, King Abra was with Ki Kastara and Consort Madhavi. The three of them were drinking the finest wine, just served by a servant in the dining room. Their faces looked pleased.“They really are fools, aren’t they?” King Abra chuckled.“Let them fight each other. We’ll just sit back and enjoy the results of the chaos that’s already happened,” Consort Madhavi added.“So what should we do next, Uncle?” King Abra asked Ki Kastara.“Hehehe… Of course, we must eliminate Empress Rengganis as quickly as possible, then burn her body and throw it into the river!” Ki Kastara sneered. “They’re so foolish to think we wouldn’t know their plans.” Ki Kastara smiled slyly.“When a kingdom stands, conflict is inevitable. Those who can read the situation will hold power. Plenty of court officials and even the king’s own relatives secretly want Empress Rengganis dead,” Consort Madhavi explained.“Exactly. Let other people’s hands do the work. We only need to light a small fire,

  • Rengganis, Revenge of The Abandoned Queen   78. The Judgment

    The burned site was now under tight guard by royal soldiers. The other surviving residents had been relocated back to Ki Chandra’s residence near the Baskara Kingdom. News that Empress Rengganis had been staying at Ki Chandra’s home reached King Abra’s ears. Naturally, the king was furious. He summoned Ki Chandra to the Main Palace first thing in the morning. Before the other court officials, the palace fell into a tense, suffocating silence. Breathing felt difficult.“What was the meaning of your actions, Ki? Are you defying me?” King Abra intimidated him. The man sat arrogantly on his grand throne.“I beg your understanding, Your Majesty King Abra, wise and all-knowing, toward this mere servant.” Ki Chandra paused. “I only met the Empress yesterday afternoon. I was merely following Empress Rengganis’s orders, as she still wished to calm herself,” he added.“Do you realize, Ki, that your reckless actions endangered the Empress?” King Abra pointed accusingly. “Why didn’t you report Em

  • Rengganis, Revenge of The Abandoned Queen   77. Exposing the Traitor

    A few moments earlier, Mang Damar, Hermit Bagaspati, and Kayana were spurring their horses down the dark footpath when Mang Damar stopped short. He’d heard the sound of horses coming from the opposite direction.“Hold up!” Mang Damar raised his hand, making Hermit Bagaspati and Kayana instantly rein in their horses.“What is it, Mang?” Kayana asked.“There’s movement coming from the other way. Should we pull aside?” Hermit Bagaspati replied.“They sound like they’re in a hurry. This is suspicious,” Mang Damar muttered.Without another word, Kayana and Mang Damar followed Hermit Bagaspati and hid behind a tree. Silently, they hoped their horses wouldn’t make any noise that would give them away. A few seconds later, the hoofbeats grew louder, closer. Mang Damar caught the scent of kerosene hanging in the air.“Kerosene,” Mang Damar said, his eyes widening in the dark.“After them!” Hermit Bagaspati ordered.Hyat! Hap! They spurred their horses again, chasing after the thugs who had just

    Hyat! Kayana and Hermit Bagaspati mounted their horses. Mang Damar himself unhitched one of the cart horses and climbed on. “Be careful, all of you!” Mang Damar called out.The three men, all different ages, immediately spurred their horses down the dark footpath. The women could only watch as their figures vanished into the darkness. Moonlight lit only the open spaces. Along the stretches where tall trees lined the road, it was pitch black, gloomy, and cold. Sajani took a resin torch from the cart and walked back toward Mbok Berek, who was still crying, worried sick about Rengganis.“Khandra isn’t here when we need him most,” Mbok Berek lamented.“It’s all right, Mbak Yu. Khandra is a commander. He must be very busy right now,” Mbok Wiji explained. “Come on, let’s walk slowly and catch up to where Empress Rengganis is,” she added.*** At the scene, Aunt Larasati and her daughter, Roro Gendis, were wailing. Their clothes were in tatters and covered in soot. The waystation they had l

    The burly man still had his hand over Rengganis’s mouth. She struggled for a moment, then weakened slightly when she caught a scent she knew all too well. As soon as the strong hand let go, Rengganis spun around.“You startled me, Khandra,” Rengganis said.The man chuckled softly. “Forgive me for being so bold, Your Majesty. I just didn’t want you to scream,” Khandra said.“Well, I almost did. I couldn’t sense your presence, Khandra.” Rengganis walked to the bed and sat on the edge. She patted the spot beside her, inviting Khandra to sit.“I’ll sit in the chair over there,” Khandra said.“But I need a shoulder to lean on, Khandra,” Rengganis said, tilting her head.Khandra saw the exhaustion on Rengganis’s face. The man smiled and gave in to his queen’s wish. He stepped closer and sat beside Rengganis. Without hesitation, the Queen of the Baskara Kingdom rested her head on Khandra’s shoulder. Right now, she really needed somewhere to lean and release her fatigue. That argument with th

    Rengganis woke up in shock. Last night, she was by the river with Khandra. And now, she laid in her simple room in the cave. Rengganis smiled. It’s the first time she slept well like a baby, so comfortable. She used to have nightmare. And it seemed like Khandra could bring comfort for her. Rengga

    “No!” Rengganis screamed loudly. She opened her eyes. She found a faint and dark atmosphere in the reflection of torch. Berek took a deep look to her queen. Rengganis closed her eyes, neutralized her pounding heart. “Did you just have a bad dream?” Berek helped Rengganis to sit.

    “Give me your body, so I will fulfill your wish, Rengganis.” The voice resonated, making that lady with beautiful face called Rengganis looked up from her sitting heels. She looked into a tranparent, flying in front of her with thick fog cevered her. Rengganis’s black eyes as da
