Rashid immediately took the shuriken. Naruto's secret weapon that he always carries everywhere. He squared off with a silent motion, then shot it so suddenly that the scouts screamed and fell to the ground.
"AAA," he screamed for a moment then covered his mouth and tried to run for safety. It was too late because Rashid was already in front of him and Amira behind him.
"Wh-who are you?'
Rashid smiled slyly. He didn't know why the man in front of him asked who he was. He was sure the spies recognized him. If he doesn't know, why is he sneaking around to find out the topic of his conversation with Amira, the princess who lives with the servants?
"Who are you? Why are you the one asking?"
The man in front of Rashid shook his head. he was still holding the leg, which was injured by the shuriken, still stuck there. he grimaced, trying to trick Rashid, but Rashid remained wary.
"Who told you to?"
Rashid grabbed the lookout by the neck and tried to control himself. The man was silent. His body shook violently as Rashid's hands curled behind his back. He tried to break free, but Rashid's strong grip made him fail.
"Oh, sir. I-I was just told to"
"I know you were only ordered to. Now tell me who sent you!"
The man in Rashid's hands shook his head. he tried to look around, to find out the situation in Amira's neighborhood. He may want to run or be on the lookout for the person who told him to. Amira, who understood the situation, immediately asked Rashid to save the scouts with her sign language.
Rashid who understood the order immediately grabbed the scout's arm and led him through a door and led the stranger in. Even though he rebelled relentlessly, Rashid didn't care at all. He kept pulling the scout and leading him into the room that led him to the basement.
Amira is still in the yard. She saw a glimpse of a shadow leaving her yard. She smiled from behind her hiding place. She was happy because she was finally safe. After all, was normal, she entered the house with a sneaky. she followed Rashid into the basement, a special room that connected her residence to the palace. She walked in and slowly closed the door.
"Everything is safe Princess?"
"Yes, Brother. God willing."
Rashid smiled and nodded. He picked up the body of the man he had weakened and carried him into the carriage that would take him back to the palace. Amira did the same. she got into the carriage and sat next to Rashid who was holding them captive.
"Who is he, Brother?"
Rashid shook his head. he did not know who had sent the scouts. What he knows, many parties are trying to overthrow the Sultan's throne. Several families who from the start only supported the position of the young sultan Adyaksa, and several royal rivals, became Rashid's most suspicious parties. Amira sighed. she was touched by the situation and circumstances of her family which was very vulnerable.
"There are so many who want the position of Sultan, Princes. They think being a leader is easy. They forget that being a leader is also responsible for the safety and welfare of the people they lead. What they know is that Kanjeng Romo is always hailed by the people. Sultan welcomed everywhere during visits and other excellent services, making the rioters dazzled and wanting to have the position occupied by Sultan."
'that's why I don't like living in the palace at all, Brother. Apart from the insincere people, I believe our safety is threatened even by our own families. I'm not crazy about wealth and thrones, bro. I don't want Kanjeng Romo to force me to stay at the palace."
Rashid nodded. he understands very well how the character of his adopted sister always appears as it is. He avoided the meeting and royal banquets to save himself from the enemy's target.
"May Allah always protect you, my brother. You are a good boy who always defends the interests of others. You never think about your interests. What you prioritize is how people live in peace and tranquility."
"I am too much. I'm used to it." Amira blushed at her adopted brother's praise. She lowered her face to hide the blush on her cheeks from her brother. Rashid smiled then tried to flick his captive ear to turn his attention to Amira. His heart skipped a beat when he saw his adoptive sister's pretty face turning red.
From the start, he had a crush on Amira. He felt unworthy of having love for a child from someone who had taken him from his childhood misery on the street. He remembered that the young Sultan had picked him up from the street when he was running away from the enemy. At that time he just stole the food he was going to give to his sick mother. fate cannot be denied. When he was in action, a visitor saw what he was doing and the owner of the food chased and hunted him by ordering all the market thugs who had become his subordinates.
Rashid who brought the loot immediately threw his food at the visitor who informed him of his actions. He ran as fast as he could, but the children's strength was still limited. The thugs caught him and they ganged upon him.
Rashid smiled as he remembered how the young Sultan who was disguised as a commoner at the time helped him. The young sultan stood proudly among the thugs who were beating him after the young sultan had somersaulted in the air. The young sultan took down all the goons with a very amazing movie. From then on, he became part of the royal family.
Rashid smiled to himself making Amira frown, trying to analyze what her adopted sister was remembering.
"Looks like you're happy"
Rashid who was lost in thought didn't hear Amira's voice still in his original position. Smiling for a moment then stunned to receive a pinch from his sister.
"What's wrong, Brother? Why are you smiling like that? If there's something funny, Amira also wants to hear it. Don't laugh alone like crazy"
"I am remembering the hero who saved me from the market thugs."
"Majesty?"
"Who else if not him?"
Amira scratched her head and nodded. she admits that her brother deserves to remember her father's kindness. So far Amira knows and idolizes her father who is always gentle to anyone. Her father would give help to the needy selflessly.
"Now why are you smiling to yourself like that, Princess?"
Amira shook her head.
"I smile to accompany my brother so as not to look like a crazy person. Not smile alone"
"Ha ha ha, you can always dodge. Ok. Anything for my sister."
"Brother."
Rashid looked at Amira who brought her lips to his ear, trying to whisper something. He felt so scared thinking that Amira was going to kiss him, it made Rashid gasp and realize the misunderstanding he had made himself.
"Bro, your prisoner is awake"
Rashid looked at the man in front of him who was squirming, trying to look around him and frowning. His body which was originally calm due to being under the influence of a full-blooded force at some point had now come to his senses. He shook and tried to sit up. Rashid immediately punched the weak man's body again and made him unable to move at all.
"Now tell me who sent you!"
The man shook his head. He doesn't want to say who ordered it because he has promised not to reveal his secret mission to anyone. He knew that if he told Rashid, his family would be threatened and they would not hesitate to kill his wife and two children.
"Well if you don't care for your life at all. I'll let your family be massacred by someone who told you to stay silent. If you want to talk, I'll make sure your whole family is safe.'
The man was stunned. He tried to look at Rashid to find out the truth of what he said. In his heart, he admitted that no lie was being covered up by Rashid.
"You're going to free my wife and child from those who ordered me to?"
"Of course."
"Em, I-I'm scared, sir."
"God willing, you are safe. Because I'm sure no one knows where we are except for me and Princess Amira."
The man looked at Amira and nodded. he is still silent. He doesn't want to reveal who is the mastermind behind the crimes he hasn't had time to commit.
