Blood In the Ancestral Land
Chapter 22

"Huhah! You're so enthusiastic about saving this kid you've cursed?” asked the king to attack him using a sword made of white iron.

“Save the child or not, in the future you still kill him. You are a mad man beyond the heart of the devil! Quickly hand the boy over to me!”

Outside the palace, the troops are attacked by the Buana demon. The black magic-shirks breathed pure air until the bodies of the troops dried up into skulls. The tree demon elder lighted the ray of his greatest source of strength.

“Arghh!” shouted the troops.

Arrows made of white iron rained down on his body. Demon crows flapping wings protect that the source of the largest guard tree of Buana region remains safe. He also searches for Alundra while the queen fights with the king.

Feeling desperate, his body full of injuries persisted withstanding all attacks. The king drew a giant iron net trap, the trap successfully weakening the queen's strength. The old woman laughed. He pulled Alundra from the place he was hiding.

“Queen, hand over the black mustika stick if you don't want this child dead in my hands! Ahhaha” said the old woman.

“Mother! hiks” yells alundra.

The princess's call melted her heart. He didn't want the boy to get hurt. The queen flew her wand into the old woman's hand. The old woman received the wand and pushed Alundra to the floor. All her body was injured, she cried in fear in the queen's increasingly weakened hold. He was with Alundra in a white iron trap.

Using the rest of her strength, the queen turned the crow demon into a giant. He also gave black magic power to his body. Turning into a giant animal, the demon pulled a white iron trap using its claws.

Krak__

“Teams, quickly attack!” sniffed the king.

The power of the queen was getting weaker, the giant net trap was absorbing its energy. She could do nothing because her wand was in the hand of the old woman.Alundra cried as she pleased, she hugged the queen asking to get out of the place.

The attack of the king of Tumenggung will kill them both. The crow demon forcibly pulled the white iron net, he brushed off every attack of the king and the troops. Trying all his might to help the queen out of the palace Wanua Ubun.

“Your highness the queen, quickly take the princess out of here!”

The demon covered the queen's movements even though her entire body had been showered with arrows and sharp weapons made of white iron. On top of Wanua Ubun's palace, he blew himself up to help all of Buana's demons get out of there.

“I'll remember your services stealth raven” muttered the queen.

He was still hiding within the forest, the middle distance of the palace and the forest. The witch tried to use the queen's black mustika. But he had already cast a spell, stomping the stick to the ground three times but the stick had not let out anything.

“Little creature wait here, I'll be back” soon

The queen put him in a rabbit demon. He flew away carrying the navel of the ocean waves to take back his wand. Blowing magic gusts rolled up the old woman's body, pulling a stick from her hand using a water scroll.

“Back my strength, you don't deserve it! Hiya!"

The queen broke her body in the seawater, she flew back towards Alundra. Seeing the arrival of the queen, the rabbit demon asked for permission to leave. The queen watched Alundra stand staring at the palace of Wanua Ubun, she watched for a very long time until the queen carried her away. Traveling across the sea, the princess laughed at the flying birds.

“The crow's smile is dead, all for the sake of saving mu” the queen muttered.

Inside the grandiose chamber the queen treated all the wounds on her body and on the body of the princess. He remembered the king's hatred for his own son.

Bad times never stop. The queen seemed busy these days. Early in the morning he was gone before the princess woke up, he returned late in the night as the princess slept. Until one night, the princess pretended to sleep waiting for the queen's return. As usual the queen came home to see Alundra was asleep. The big room was lit by a giant candle. In the large part of the window, the curtain is open stretched showing the moon shining beautifully. Alundra pretended to squirm, hugging the body of the Diajeng queen which felt so cold beyond the freezing ice.

“Why is mom's body cold once?” muttered.

Now sixteen years old, he has grown rapidly in the enemy palaces of his parents. Alundra is very well taken care of there. Everything was filled until the two maids of his guards aged, not making the princess ask for a replacement other than them. Inside that magnificent palace, only a few maids and demons were close to him. Until now he asked in his mind why many are staying away from him.

This morning the princess was playing in the palace courtyard with the rabbits. They play a game of hide and seek. This time it's Kila's rabbit demon on guard. On the count of three, he looked for the princess and another herd of demons.

Day like night in the Mangkubuana sky. The black magic of the queen coating formed a flaming reddish glow. Alundra looked up, he also noticed around. After he grew up he realized all the strangeness.

He approached the giant barbed barrier wall. He touched the magic wall after a few seconds when the black wall broke causing a large earthquake that shook the land of Buana. The crack of the ground was wide open, the rabbit demon pulled the princess immediately avoiding the scattered splinters of thorns.

“Celaka! The Queen will definitely be angry at us!” said the Kila rabbit demon.

“Let me alone bear all this, do not tell anyone if it is not me who destroyed it” said Priti.

The chaos was dimmed with the black magic of the queen, the giant barbed wall stood as it was. No power can match his strength.

“Who has destroyed that barrier?”

“Hamba noble queen, forgive the carelessness of hamba” said rabbit stealth Priti.

“Enter you into the eternal flame of roasting!”

“Mother! Nah! I was the wrong one. Priti was just trying to defend and cover up my mistakes. Don't punish her mom” replied Alundra.

“How can a small creature like you destroy that giant fortress?”

“I just touched it___”

Queen Diajeng flew up the whirlpool of the waves leaving the palace grounds. Elsewhere, the princess wept at the change in the queen's increasingly cold attitude towards her. In the arms of the escort lady, she cried until both her eyes were swollen.

“Mr princess do not be sad, the queen is just busy guarding the palace alone. Mangkubuana region is under threat of attack from the outer kingdom.”

“No Kumetra, I feel like mom doesn't love me anymore. Hiks.”
