He stood with a majesty that could neither be denied nor ignored, staring at the noble clothed man before him who was now bowing to him in reverence. He took a step closer, causing the king's spirit to raise its head to look at its master.
There was only bitterness and coldness to be seen this time, no more sorrow in those eyes. Which somehow became red now, no longer elegant gold. The dragon king hid his wound, he froze his heart so that the king's spirit would no longer see the weakness it had.
"You made a life contract with me without my consent, so as your master I punish you for not making me cry anymore!"
The spirit king smiled sincerely and nodded.
"I'm sorry sir, it was the first and last time I made you cry if you didn't get permission. I just want to relieve your stabbed heart, sorry sir. "
The dragon king nodded and turned to leave. Walking by the dragon king's side one step back, he turned right and left to look at the people who were lighting the fire for lighting.
Previously, the spirit king used his power to make a shield so that he would not be seen from the world. Only the two of them were inside the square shield he made, to transform himself into his true form.
And now he was in the form of a weak and beautiful man in better clothes than before who was like an intruder.
"Here, where are we going, sir." The dragon king stopped walking to stare at him expressionlessly. "I haven't told you, but you should already know what I'm looking for." He replied.
The spirit king chuckled at this, he had no fear of the dragon king, even though he himself had seen how the dragon king's anger he felt had reached the core of his life.
"But sir, before ... I felt someone cut the red thread that you are holding today," he said to the teacher.
Immediately, the majestic body turned around and was right in front of his face. "Who?"
He raised his hand forward to hold his master in silence, he chuckled at the dragon king's defensive stance.
"Calm down sir, I also did not find it. Just feeling that the sound sounded really loud when it was cut, it seemed that this person didn't manage to cut and instead broke his weapon. Maybe he also made a shield for this. damned soul. "It definitely makes the face of the dragon king better than before.
His body straight again, he nodded in understanding.
"I also realized that if someone interfered in hiding my empress' soul from my senses, they wanted to torture me and find it even more difficult to find her and destroy my queen's real body first before her soul was found."
He nodded listening to his master explain, of course, his very strong master already realized before him who was shocked to hear that someone wanted to cut the threads of fate.
"That soul, it will still take 50 more years to arrive here and I will ask for a young girl to offer me. But the Kutai Kingdom has not announced the existence of a cursed body. They could not find it, it was very suspicious. Until I feel the empress's soul is already here, "
His master turned to stare somewhere, it's just that he felt the bitterness again from his vengeful slash.
"There is a god, who seems to intend to kill a cursed soul body from another dimension. That is why that red thread, is visible to my eyes and may also be heard by you when the thread of destiny fails to break."
Then the dragon king sighed, "And I also now feel that if that soul disappears, it looks like she has left the dimensional world again. It's strange, she shouldn't be able to leave the dimension because the gate is closed."
The spirit king only nodded his head in understanding.
"This is a difficult matter, but let's search with the master. The empress's soul will definitely be found somehow, we need to crawl somehow. I'm sure we can find it." No answer would be interpreted by him if the dragon king also said yes.
They finally continued after the dragon king shared his thoughts with his contract spirit, they would continue to search now. At least getting that cursed body for them to monitor, will be where that damned soul will reside when it returns to this world.
Elsewhere, Asad, who had just arrived after giving what he promised to the Chasletein family, was also waiting for the landlord to arrive. Pak Karel is still in the Kutai kingdom, he hasn't come home yet.
Then before that, he had time to call the doctor again to examine the body of his son. Naira, he hasn't realized until now and he's afraid of it.
"Son, don't leave your father as your mother died leaving father ... "He said rubbing the pale face on the bed.
His face was hurt so deeply, then his handsome face was again with tears flowing silently that he did not wipe immediately as if someone was in the room.
"Please ... endure for your father's sake, a father will obey your wishes if you want anything. You can play, dad will accompany you, son. But please .... wake up, don't make daddy constantly tormented by the fear of losing you."
His voice began to shake erratically because of his crying. "Naira, help dad. Without you dad can die, even in sleep dad is not calm, afraid when daddy wakes up you will die."
"Dad is always afraid of losing you every time you are unconscious, hang on dear ... daddy will stay here for you."
