Rengganis, Revenge of The Abandoned Queen のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Rengganis was ready to ally with a demon if it came to it. Her chest rose and fell, stoked by raw emotion. She needed immense power to reclaim her throne and to deliver fitting retribution for the betrayal she’d suffered. “The only fitting payback for a traitor is death,” Rengganis muttered, holding back her rage and disappointment. After a long pause, she answered, “I accept your offer, Lady Nagini.” Hatred held Rengganis in its grip, and Lady Nagini’s constant pressure only stoked her fury hotter. Rengganis met the spirit’s gaze with conviction. 'I’m sure she won’t kill me, she has her own goals too,' Rengganis thought.Lady Nagini broke into a wide, sinister grin. The night air felt fresh against the demon woman’s skin. Nothing had made her happier than this moment. “A wise decision,” Nagini said. She pulled Rengganis into an embrace. Ah, the warmth of a human body, so comforting. So perfect for her future use.Beyond Sidangkrong waterfall, hidden behind the Alang-Alang hills, th

Madhavi followed her subordinate out of the house, then walked a short distance to a building in the back. The door opened. She stepped three times on the corner of the room, and the wooden floor trembled before a tunnel opening appeared. Madhavi went down the stairs into the tunnel with her subordinate, who carried an oil lamp to light the dark underground space.Before long, Ki Kastara joined them. He approached Madhavi, who was sipping liquor from a coconut shell cup. Madhavi glanced briefly at the old man, then continued drinking.“Forgive your dear niece for making you wait,” Ki Kastara said.Madhavi scoffed. “Uncle, you’re bold enough to bring that woman home. Aren’t you afraid Auntie will catch you in a lewd act with that whore, huh?” She tilted her head and set the cup back on the table.“Your dear aunt is visiting her parents,” Ki Kastara replied.Madhavi lifted one corner of her mouth. “Alright, let’s stop this useless talk. Now let’s discuss our next plan, Uncle,” Madhavi c

Rengganis sat lost in thought on a chunk of wood near the training ground, watching her subordinates busy cleaning the muddy area. The place was in shambles after last night’s rain. Earthenware and cooking utensils had been tossed far from where they belonged. Violent wind and heavy rain, so her soldiers had said. But Rengganis hadn’t noticed any of it at Sidangkrong waterfall last night. On the way back from Lady Nagini’s place, the spirit had helped her, carrying her through the air straight to their hideout cave. And yeah, she hadn’t been paying attention.She still remembered clearly how that demonic woman had treated her. This morning her body felt fit and full of energy. Rengganis looked over at several knights busy inspecting arrows, then walked toward them.“Your Majesty,” someone greeted, pressing hands to their chest in respect. Rengganis raised a hand to signal them to stop what they were doing.“Are you all busy?” she asked.The knights exchanged glances. “We’re going hunt

The sun beat down mercilessly on Rengganis’s skin. She crouched with her subordinates behind the shade of a large tree, eyes sharp, bow ready in hand, stalking a deer. Rengganis steadied herself, squinting. A wave of reluctance washed over her at the sight of the animal. But then, for a split second, her mind felt like it wasn’t her own and swish, thud! The arrow shot out and struck the deer in the back. Rengganis’s eyes widened as the arrow hit its mark. Her hands trembled, and the bow slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground.“Oh no, I killed it,” Rengganis murmured, face going pale. Her heart pounded. Guilt clutched at her. She turned to see her subordinates running toward the deer, cheering.“I can’t believe how skilled you are, Your Majesty,” one of them exclaimed. Two others began tying the deer to a wooden pole.“Your Majesty?” another called, noticing Rengganis standing frozen. “Are you alright?” The smile he’d worn a moment ago faded.“I—”“You look very pale, Your Majes

Khandra felt weak and stunned hearing his men’s report. He set out to search for Rengganis after learning what had happened. He blamed himself for failing to protect the Queen of Baskara.**A short time earlier, as they were heading home from the hunt, a band of raiders struck. The knights were thrown into battle, steel clashing with steel, shouts and the stench of blood filling the air. Rengganis trembled at the sight. Shadows from her past haunted her memories of her husband slitting her mother’s throat rang in her ears.“Don’t let them escape!” one of the raiders shouted. A bald man stood with hands on his hips, clearly their leader.“Your Majesty, let’s run!” Two knights formed a shield around Rengganis. One of them grabbed her arm and pulled her away.“Boss, the woman’s getting away,” one of the bandits called.“Damn fools! Goga, chase them! I’ll handle things here!” the leader ordered a tall, lanky man with wide eyes and long hair.“Yes, Brother Gautam,” the skinny man replied,
