YUWARAJA
Before Morning
"AHS ... SHIT." SHIT." A man shouted while kicking the tree that was in front of him. The simple prilak was enough to trigger strong winds that resulted in some trees there being carried away flying.
"Calm down! Better now you help me quickly." A friend of his who was lying weakly bathed in blood asked the man for help. This great friend of his had apparently lost one of his precious hands.
"Chih ...." The man who looked more like a child was just clicking his tongue in response. From then on he could only continue to endure the annoyance and anger.
"Hey. Hurry up, now it's your turn to help me!"
"I knew. Be patient, don't be a child."
"Yes, yeah. Look who among us is a child?" The big man pointed towards the place where there were holes and fallen trees.
The big man was actually also very upset about all their failed plans. Starting from releasing the prisoners of Harsana to cause panic of the population which led to almost the recapture of all prisoners. And not only that, they also did not expect that there would be such a strong person to be able to cut off the hands of a Great Warrior that was stronger than steel.
Almost all of their plans failed. Yes ... although Eddi's ambush was indeed planned to fail. It was just their attempt to get Eddi on his side. No one would have thought that Eddi was so foolish as to trust their information that said Candra was not part of the Great Knight.
"Who would have thought that such a monster would appear." The boy grumbled, but he knew that all his frustration would not change the outcome. It was just that, they still felt confused towards the actions of that person. Couldn't he just chop off his head right then and there? There are a lot of gaps there.
Who exactly is that guy?
"AA-du-duh. Hey, you want to kill me, huh!" The big man screamed in pain as his arm was wrapped in a white cloth to stop the bleeding. It was a pity, between the two of them no one could use healing magic. Actually they brought someone who could use the magic, but that person was now with Eddi in a hiding place.
Actually, the big man also felt very curious about the identity of this mysterious person, because the person who cut one of his hands without him being able to fight back. A person who managed to get into the whirlwind he made, moreover without a sound and without the slightest hint of presence, that was the scariest thing of his, even more so, why didn't he just kill her then? Isn't that opportunity wide open?
It seems that the plans of the two of them were not thwarted by Candra, Anna, or the Harsana Warrior but by the mysterious person. It was as if the person knew what they were planning. Starting from the time they move, their destination, and also their target who is here is Eddi. Too awkward to call it all just a coincidence. In the end the same question was thrown back in their minds.
Who exactly is that guy?

While they were thinking about the identity of the mysterious person. We're back the night before the attack, which will unlock all the mysteries.
In a room, the room that is intended for Great guests looks very luxurious and very spacious to be occupied by one person only. If any ordinary people were to enter there, then they would definitely not be able to close their eyes in the slightest. Such is the breadth and luxury of this room, to the point that fear and discomfort come.
There was a man in his 40s sitting at a soup, enjoying a warm cup of coffee. The presence and the powerful aura wrapped in the nuances of the silence of the night presents a sense of horror for some people, especially for Servants who are working to prepare food for him.
The waiter had been feeling very uncomfortable since entering the room due to the presence and wordless flat face of the man that made him want to hurry away after completing this task.
The man who had displayed that cold expression was Dierja. He had been in Harsana Kingdom for two days. The main purpose of coming here is to discuss about the Candra Engagement. Of course, that's not the only real purpose of Dierja.
It was almost morning and Dierja had not closed her eyes in the least. He was waiting for the arrival of his subordinates who for some reason, he had not come to report as well. The routine report of his trusted subordinates was always on time, but somehow it was now over half an hour from the predetermined time.
Is he having a problem? Or meet a troublesome opponent? Whatever it is, Dierja believes that his subordinates will be able to overcome all problems, but the story will be a little different if the opponent he faces is as strong as Dierja, who is not, but such a strong person there were only a few in this Continent, including Dierja, the number of people as strong as him was no more than six. Yes, a very small amount, even when compared to the number of fingers a new baby can crawl.
When Dierja was thinking about his subordinate's condition, suddenly appeared someone dressed in all black who came out of nowhere. The person immediately bowed in respect to Dierja. As he continued to bow his head he said, "Master, forgive me for my delay."
"Thank you, Mister. There are some important things I found. There were two people who seemed to be from Gandana Kingdom wandering around the Port."
"Where? Not Askara?"
That person only nodded in response to a question Dierja looked slightly surprised. Kingdom of Gandana, this feels very strange. Askara, and Gandana did establish cooperation long ago, but still, Dierja thought the people who came would come from the Askara Kingdom directly. The cooperation relationship between the two Kingdoms was also not very good at first.
Well ... actually Dierja could almost guess the whole of their plan, aside from thwarting the Candra Engagement. There was one more thing that he thought about.
Attractively.
The two men who are thought to be from the Kingdom of Gandana seem to be aiming to free Eddi. What's the connection between Eddi and them? Such a thing was not very important to him either. It's just, yeah ... Not only did the ambush turn out Eddi was also related to the enemy Kingdom. Since the beginning Dierja has felt that all this feels awkward. I see, it turns out Askara, yes.
"Would we just get rid of them right now?" The black-clothed man asked confidently as if he would never fail to carry out his duties.
"No need, I have other goals that will certainly be more interesting even for them." Dierja answered with a faint smile on her lips.
"All right!" the person replied immediately.then he instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving only words that the ears could still hear.
This subordinate of Dierja's faith is so mysterious, not many people know about him. His identity is unknown, both gender, age, and that his strength still feels so gray. Only He knows exactly who this man is. Others call him Nataprawira's shadow dredged so mysterious and his presence is not felt.

In the prison located to the west of the Palace. The place that was always heavily guarded, the listless faces of the soldiers started to change with new faces full of energy. As the day approaches the morning, each guard begins to change to carry out the task wholeheartedly.
In one of the rooms there were two people having a conversation, rather than a conversation, it was more of a one-sided command.
A soldier was standing in front of someone wearing black. Both her face and gender are unknown. Moreover, this fellow had always used voice-changing magic, so he could not guess who his true identity was. Only, the soldier knew that this person was a subordinate to the trust of his master.
The black-clothed man gave the bottle the size of a fist to him. The soldier received a pink bottle that somehow functions with great respect.
"Spread this powder after someone enters the Cell!" said the man gave the order.
"Good!" Reply to the soldier obediently.
Before this man came, the soldier had already heard that an intruder from the Kingdom of Gandana was coming with the aim of freeing Eddi the son of the Palace Councillor.
He had always been amazed at his master's ability in terms of gathering information. He has been working in the Harsana Kingdom for over two years. He ran to this Kingdom only to carry out the precept of Dierja, working as a spy.
"Good, lest we let the King down." The man immediately disappeared like being swallowed by air.
Honestly, the soldier was more and more amazed at every plan from his King, despite two years working under his orders, but he still could not guess the thought of his master. Eagerly, the Soldier went to carry out the order with careful preparation, without even bothering to feel afraid of failure.
