48 Patient Chair

They know very well. That they would surely die at the hands of King Sadrach. They are helpless and they are very desperate. He even wanted to kill himself on the spot instead of being tortured or judged by the Sadrach Kingdom.

For the thieves there is no mercy. They will be confronted and placed in the palace's prison chair, which must be very sad to be there. The king mercilessly punished the five of them, even though the king felt his kingdom had survived the danger, but this incident was very thrilling and very fatal. The king returned to its place a red crystal stone named Xavier.

But the King did not want to take his time to take action against the five thieves, it was a very small act for him. The king wanted the person behind the mission. Who has dared to harm himself and his kingdom. The special prisoners were tortured to the point of admitting who was behind all this.

Apparently the five thieves were tough guys who weren't weak. For 45 minutes the King watched all of them have gone through several processes of punishment still not paralyzed.

From the start of being properly interrogated by being lured with royal gifts, positions or even being able to be given free air, they did not budge and were not interested in the slightest. In fact, the more cursing and swearing they got. Punishment from low level to increased level of punishment, still they are stiff and arrogant.

The king shook his head because he had recently witnessed prisoners who were steadfast in their loyalty. Skilled and agile in combat. If only they fought in a one-on-one manner, surely his side would lose. Thankfully the King had a lot of members in attacking them. So the King was victorious. Really if these trained people would be part of the Royal guard. The stronger the kingdom's defenses will be. Even if they looked like they were going to die, they still wouldn't talk even if they only mentioned their initials. The five of them did not want to speak at the same time. Just shouting and asking to be killed instead of betraying his master.

Truly King Theophylus is getting more and more curious. How special is their master that they are willing to risk their lives for their master.

"Beat them until they confess, but remember not to die, I have to know who sent them. Tomorrow I'll wait for the good news. I can't wait to chop up my bast*rd enemy!" The king was furious. Then left the prison guards. The king didn't want to waste his time and witness this trivial matter. He left the prison room and headed to the main hall of his palace through the corridor.

"My Lord, tell me did the crystal come back?" asked the Queen, who was also worried about him. She is also a living witness that the crystal brings real luck to her and her Kingdom. Since marrying the King Sadrach, Queen Eloise has never felt the slightest lack or sadness. She was always made happy by the King. Even the Queen saw the face of her beloved husband was very angry because he was about to lose the precious thing that he was guarding from his great-grandfather.

"My lord, my dear King. Let me calm your heart, don't overburden your mind, your health must be taken care of, My Lord." The Queen grabbed the hand of the King who looked very nervous and filled with anger but did not know who to be angry with, because he did not know who the main culprit behind this was.

"I am very angry with anyone who dares to challenge me in this way. If found out. Then I will kill all his family as a consequence. This is not a joke. This is a very fatal thing," he snorted with burning revenge.

The Queen took the King to participate in entering his room. The Queen felt that this was when she needed to cool her husband's mood and anger, Queen Eloise gave her husband a glass of drinking water. While inviting her to sit down and patted her husband's shoulder.

"Calm down, My Lord. Everything will be fine, no one will be able to destroy a Kingdom as big and great as ours, the Kingdom of Sadrach, and my Lord is the greatest and irreplaceable King," praised the Queen to calm her husband.

"That should be my Queen, my dear. It's just that ... In fact it happened. The crystal was already in their hands and had even left the palace. Thankfully our commanders and soldiers were very alert. Otherwise, the crystal has changed hands and perished us all and the throne. and my kingdom." The king clenched his fists and put on a ruthless expression.

"Is it a person we know? According to my King?" asked the Queen.

"I don't know yet, my queen, dear. This is still waiting for their confession. Is it someone inside the palace or someone outside the palace. I'll wait for news tomorrow. How can people stand being tortured until tomorrow," said the king convincingly.

Meanwhile in the Serafin Kingdom, There is King Ignasius and his cohorts who are waiting and anxiously worrying about the state of the five envoys. While in the agreement. If they managed to get hold of the crystal then they would definitely make it back to Serafin Palace before morning, but it was already morning and it was already close to noon. It turned out that the five thieves had not yet shown their noses in the Serafin Kingdom. King Ignatius had not been able to sleep well since last night, and neither did the Queen of Librivia.

She only accompanied and accompanied her husband. This is a very scary thing. This can threaten the safety of his Kingdom, his family and all his people.

The king since before sunrise on the eastern horizon has been standing on the balcony of the Palace. Who can see the area outside the Palace but from inside the Palace.
