Screeching. . . Screeching .. . .Screeching . . . (iron scraping on the hard floor)
A fleshy metal weapon with the silvery sharp blade designed for the combat war was scraping terrifically all the way from the entrance into the main royal hall.
As the blood dripping along with the tip of the blade, the floor was left with a long narrow line of red stain.
The night was dark . . . darker than the darkest and the whole palace was massacred and covered with blood.
The ashes from the pavilion mixed with the winter whirlwind and flew over the sky like the snow.
They had lost this war! Finally, the Spike Bamboo country was fallen into the ruthless enemy empire. The enemies' soldiers rushed into the royal chambers and took the life of their warriors and guards.
Now, the prisoners of war were detained in the royal conference chamber, back tied and kneeled down.
As the empire had fallen, so the empress of the country fell into the hand of the opponent. She too arrested in the same way as her fellows.
But luckily, she was not restrained her mouth with the cloth to prevent making noise.
Nevertheless, the empress of pride has now reached the moment to accept her defeat handsomely.
The country already encountered many challenges in the past because of the infamous beauty of the empress. Many Kings and princes of the neighboring counties tried to get married with the empress. The attempts included both diplomatically and war means.
As usual, the arrogant empress has never agreed any hand of marriage and she boldly refuses all the proposals right away even if it was the thread of war. And her army defeats the enemy easily which made her name grander as the rose surrounded by the thorns.
Yet, that victorious country with the endless glory has now fallen into the enemy by the invasion from the country side.
Geographically, Spike Bamboo country was a small country which has many advantages over the battle field itself. Moreover, the whole country was naturally covered with the cluster of spike bamboo forest.
Therefore, the only way to get inside the country was the main gate. But the main gate was well-armed and guarded with the heavy armory which could not be won by many enemies in the decade.
Surah Sihat, the supreme commander of the country, who led the border force held an invincible weapon called the national treasure of Spike Bamboo Country. Thus, the country was remain untouched until that very night.
Spike Bamboo has fallen into Tri Maze Country. . . which was not other than a territory which obediently used to follow the order of the empress's father, the King TaHtone.
After her father passed away, the TaHtone country had become disintegrated and many peoples abandoned the land and moved to Tri Maze Country. Hence, it was reinforced with the human resources in another mean.
Now, those filthy dogs which bite back their own master's hand becoming stepping inside my sacred palace and put the country at stake.
The lady-in-waiting gridding her teeth and though
>I just want to see the face of the impertinent person who has ignited this war. He is nothing but a kind of pervert who wants to conquest our angelic goddess. Oh. . . god help our empress. She was about to fall in the hand of that insolence man.<
Another maid thought that
>Oh,. . my my. . he's coming now. .what if he saw our beautiful queen's face and can't control himself right away.<
Another lady-in-waiting thought that
>Anyway, he'll take her as a wife and I hope our empress may continually lives lavishly as a queen. If so, I do not regret of dying here.<
Other lady thought that
>How. .rude, those scums. Dare touch her highness and back tie. Then, forced to kneeled down our flourish empress. Huh. . nevertheless, I am waiting for your master to come quickly and give punishment to you all for not treating well to our empress<
For the empress, Suvana Davi, she hasn't shed a tear but tremble with the anger with the eyes of flame with burning hatred.
Her lips were about to bleed as she bit them with an irate motion.
>What kind of dirty rat destroy the country and try to clash me. Ok, here comes the devil. You may get my body but you will never get my heart. I dare to exchange my dignity with my life<
All the enemy knights in the conference hall became silence and there's only a sound of scraping blade.
The enemy King had already entered the palace.
When everyone saw their national weapon was in the hand of the enemy king, they all felt desperate and depressed.
The invincible weapon in the hand of the enemy means the entire army was wiped out.
>Now, it's time.<
When the leader took his step into the hall, a man who seemed like the commander-in-chief was rushing into him and reported.
"We have captured the Suvana Davi alive, your majesty"
The man who stood with the weapon has a strong physic, insanely handsome and he looks good in his shining armor.
Due to his elegant look inside the armor, anyone can be assured at a glance that he is the king.
He walks slowly in front of Suvana Davi and checks the captives with indifferent eyes. Then, he met the dazzling eyes of Suvana Davi filled with hatred.
Suddenly, he walked back to the door and whispered
'Disgusting'
He lowered his tone but yet, the hall was quiet enough to hear an insignificant murmured like that.
So, Suvana heard what he just said and she felt humiliated.
She feels very awkward that nobody has told such an imprudent word to her.
All the words get her ears were endless sea of praising her beauty or a composing song to appreciate her angelic appearance.
As if the letters of praising were burnt for the stove, it would be more than enough for a winter.
Anyhow, this kind of treatment is the first time for her life and it's outrageous.
She was shocked and starring at the back of the man who just abruptly talking non-sense and walked away. Not even her, the rest of her people also irritated for hearing it.
When the king reaches the door, he called the commander-in-chief.
'Ye Banya, '
"Yes, your highness"
'How many of them are royal-blooded? For those who doesn't related the royals have to be brought on foot.'
"There's only one royal blooded person, who is the empress. My King"
'Well, put her in a carriage for the prisoner and bring along'
"As your command, your majesty."
.
Then, the commander-in-chief backs to the hall and announced.
'I now declare that the country of Spike Bamboo has lost the war and become under the colony of Tri Maze Country. All of you shall be the prisoners of war of our Tri Maze Country (The Pa Da Monarchy) under his glory of the sun, King Bawgasana. . .'
.
Later, they constructed a shabby cage-like carriage which was made of wild wood and put Suvana inside the carriage. That wild wood was bamboo no other than from their surrounding spike bamboo species.
The spike bamboos which they admired like the fortress of weapons have now chopped into the carriage to trap her inside.
As they built it carelessly, there were many spikes remain in the shaft of bamboos and they randomly pierced Suvana's delicate skin sometime and she became bled.
The whole country moaned all along the way as she went.
Suvana also never predict that her life would be ended up like an animal in the cage and she resisted not crying in front of her people to save her last dignity.
