When everyone saw the queen being killed by the troops ordered by Qarsim, how shocked everyone who saw the incident.
They seemed shocked to see the queen's death in such a sadistic way. Everyone became silent and some cried seeing that. But different from the princes and kings. They screamed hysterically. Especially the king who saw his wife's death directly before his own eyes and head.
The princes also showed their sadness no less. They both screamed and cried loudly at the cruel death of their mother. Especially Prince Marloka who showed a very angry face towards Qarsim and the troops who killed his mother.
Then the King after seeing his wife's death, the king thrashed and tried to rebel.
The king wanted to free himself and wanted to kill Qarsim and all the troops of his followers with his two hands. Even though the King at that time was still a little weak because of the effects of the drug given by Princess Armina, the king was not afraid and also tried very hard to get rid of the shackles of his bonds and tried to be able to fight and fight with Qarsim.
The king shouted very loudly to Qarsim. The king was very angry with Qarsim and said loudly to him "Qarsim, why did you do that to my wife!!! You are so savage Qarsim!! Fight me if you dare!! Fight me one on one!! I am your opponent. If you hate me and want my death, then fight me knightly!! Don't you dare to fight this old me?? Are you afraid that you will lose to me?? I promise you Qarsim, if you let me go and let me fight you, I will make you regret having done all this…!!!".
Not long after the king shouted and said to Qarsim, Prince Marloka also shouted and said angrily to Qarsim "Remember Qarsim for what you did today!! I will remember it and will exact vengeance on you!! I will not spare you and will await your death in front of me!! I will promise with my two hands I will kill you!! I will make you regret killing my mother in this way in front of all of us!!"
Qarsim just laughed and showed his happy attitude. Qarsim has succeeded in making sadness and suffering real before his eyes. Qarsim could already feel the pain that the king and his children were experiencing. With the death of the queen he made, Qarsim would become the most brutal royal rebel ever in Calkarus.
Seeing the suffering and crying of the king and his children made Qarsim and Armina satisfied and felt that they had succeeded in destroying the happiness of the king's family.
And they won't stop there.
Qarsim and Armina will be finished with everything after they have succeeded in eliminating all the families and loyal followers of the kingdom and they can succeed in controlling all power and government in the kingdom.
After being satisfied with the crying and mournful moans of the king and princes.
Qarsim finally agreed to let one of them go. Qarsim said to the king and the princes "Okay, I will grant all of your wishes. I'll release one of you and I'll give you the chance to fight me directly here. You are feeling disgusted and hate me right now, right? I'm sure you guys want to kill me right now. Then I will make your wish come true. Fight me and kill me if you can!!! But I will not appoint the king or prince of Marloka as my opponent!! But Erfrata must fight me first. I'm sure that this youngest child will also want to kill me too with his two hands!!!".
Hearing Qarsim's words, the king immediately said "Don't you try to make fun of us Qarsim. Why don't you just let me go? Or if you want to try Marloka's power, then I'm sure Marloka can beat you!! But don't choose Erfrata because he is not your match!! Look for an equal opponent who can also fight you and can beat you this time!!"
Then Qarsim replied to the king "You think I'll be easily fooled by you!! I will not easily fall for your words. Let you think I'm a coward because right now I only want to kill and eliminate you easily and quickly. Because I don't want any resistance to be in vain. All of this I have planned very carefully and it took a long time to be able to realize this plan. Then I won't act recklessly and do things that will cost me and ruin my plans tonight."
Then Qarsim ordered one of his troops to untie Erfrata and ordered him to give him a weapon, namely a sword, to fight Qarsim openly in front of his father and older brother.
Erfrata was released and with a tense attitude he began to take his sword and prepared to fight Qarsim. Erfrata was silent and thought for a moment. Erfrata had started to think that he would not be able to fight against Qarsim who was so great and tough than him.
Qarsim is not an equal opponent to Erfrata. Erfrata is not an expert in fighting and he is not agile and good at using weapons. Erfrata just needed to be calm and he tried to think of finding a way out and a solution so that he wouldn't be killed and could survive the unequal battle. And how can Erfrata save his brother and father and also try to untangle the two of them?
Erfrata only needed to buy time and be able to catch Qarsim off guard and quickly release his father and older brother. Indeed, rescue action is very impossible and very difficult to do. But that was the only way for him, his father and his brother to be safe and to try to escape from that place. Because it was impossible for his father and brother alone to fight against all of Qarsim's troops and also for Qarsim who was a strong and tough general.
With trembling hands and quite agitated, Erfrata started to raise his sword.
But before Erfrata started his fight with Qarsim, Erfrata said to Qarsim for a moment "Qarsim, why are you doing all this to us?? Even though we all really believe in you!! I especially love and respect you too. I already consider you as a second father to me. So far you have been very kind to me and my family. And I also think of you as someone I can always rely on and I also hope to be a protector and guard for the royal family and for this kingdom. Don't you remember all the kindness and help that the king and queen gave you?? Have you forgotten all the kindness and also their help to you?? Where is your conscience and also your feelings?? Until you have the heart to do all this to all of us!! ".
While speaking to Qarsim, Erfrata tried to get a little closer to Prince Marloka, whose position was not far from him. Erfrata apparently kept a small dagger in his cloak and Erfrata tried to secretly give the dagger to his older brother by dropping it near Marloka.
But Erfrata understood that near Prince Marloka there was still a Qarsim troop who was next to his brother who was on guard and prepared to kill Marloka according to Qarsim's orders because Qarsim's goal was to cruelly kill the royal family when they were all helpless and unable to fight him.
The only way is when Erfrata approaches Marloka, Erfrata must be able to paralyze the troops next to her brother, and quickly Marloka must be able to untie her bonds. Because if their actions were even a little late it would result in a failure that Erfrata could not hope for. Erfrata, with his knowledge of thinking, must be able to carry out his plan precisely without failure because if the rescue plan doesn't go well, his life and that of the rest of his family will be at stake.
Erfrata himself was not sure he would be able to bring down the troops near his older brother. But that's the only way Erfrata can do it. Because it is very unlikely that Erfrata will openly fight General Qarsim. Because Qarsim's prowess with himself is very different and not worth it as his opponent.
Erfrata only needs to quickly and precisely carry out his execution to bring down Qarsim's troops and quickly release his brother and then be able to release the king and they must be able to get out safely and quickly from the palace.
Because only the king and his brother belonged to Erfrata and Erfrata had to be able to save them both and be able to seek revenge for the death of his mother which was witnessed by all of them that happened that night.
