The Prince Ningrat's Preferred Wife
Chapter 59 The Covenant: Love or Life

While in the high jump race venue, the uproar and pros cons about the stoppage of the competition kept rolling in. Savatinov was busy explaining what had happened to everyone including the families of the future princesses who had been following the competition. However, his efforts failed because the masses insisted on fair competition and no further interference from the court.

In the midst of the crowd, Hesa came alone and faced her father. The prince's gaze was so sharp that everyone who saw him fell silent.

“Stop this cheating Ayahanda,” said Hesa while whispering softly to her father and indeed more impressed challenging.

“What do you mean? Are you getting brave with me? Do you know who you are and your position?” ask Savatinov.

“If Father still tries to harm him, I will not hesitate to remove my title as a prince and will only become a commoner just like him. That way, this competition will be canceled because there is no longer a threat that will be presented.”

Hearing the threat of Hesa, instead of Savatinov's heart melt, he laughed out loud until the sound of his laughter echoed throughout the race area. “Buahahaaha .. What did you say? No prince to be worshipped? Huh .. You think the only prince is you? There's your sister, Maheswari. He's the one who'll replace you if you get off your title.” Savatinov challenged his own son.

Hesa who was desperate also rounded his resolve by choosing no longer to be a prince. Although this decision will sacrifice her sister, but Hesa has no other choice. In the name of love, Hesa put everything aside. He also unbuttoned his shirt and was about to remove the royal bracelet of Hesa that he had to wear at a major royal event as a sign of proof that he was a prince.

Seeing that, Hesa's mother immediately shouted loudly, “Don't Hesaaaa! Don't do it, my son! I beg you!” exclaimed Hesa's mother while shedding tears.

All eyes that looked at Hesa kuga was. Not because of the thin body but athleticism was shown in public, but Ei's husband chose to throw all the titles of nobility attached where and his body.

“Pardon ananda beloved Mother .. There is no point ananda become a prince if you have to continue to see there is a lot of injustice here. If indeed ananda must have a companion of a princess, then he must be able to follow this competition with his fair share according to his qualified abilities as a prospective princess. If this competition is only a place of torture and cheating, let ananda back down than there are many other victims such as those who befell one of the candidates for the daughter of Shreya.”

Hisa's lengthy explanation immediately made everyone who was a pro with Ei ride black. They began to shout at Savatinov to stop this race and to do the fair fight without any more cheating. Of course, Savatinov's party opposed their protest so that there was a fight everywhere.

It was at that moment of turmoil that, suddenly, appeared the most graceful and wise person, entered the crowd area and became the center of attention of many people. Their mouths even gaped wide as they knew who the person who had just come was.

The person, walking slowly followed by the servants of his trust. The lady-in-waiting was no ordinary lady. They have complete weapons and they are the most advanced modern weapons ever in Indonesia.

If his ashes were to be so stormy, it must be that the person being escorted was no ordinary person either. She is a middle-aged woman who is none other than Hesa's grandmother aka Gusti Raden Ayu Kahiyang Harana Lakeswara.

“The noble Gusti Raden Ayu Kahiyang Harana Lakeswara has arrived!” exclaim one of the servants of Hesa's grandmother loudly so that everyone immediately stayed on the spot and as a noble who knew very well the rules and regulations of the kingdom, as well as the government, they all immediately gathered a sign of paying respect to Hesa's grandmother as the highest strata among them all.

Hesa's father had caught sight of her mother arriving without any prior notice. Moreover, the eyes of Raden Ayu looked very angry at what happened at the event today. Coupled with the commotion that occurred, it was true that the attitude of everyone here did not reflect the attitude of a noble at all.

The empress came forward and held mike so that her voice could be heard by many people. “You may be wondering why I showed up in the middle of the commotion you guys are making. I am the one who will take over my granddaughter selection competition from now on,” exclaimed Grandma Hesa loudly so that her loud voice sounded to make my feathers sit anyone who heard as if shaking. His statement also greatly shocked Savatinov's camp.

“If anyone objected to my decision .. ," continued Hesa's grandmother, "then that person. I'm disappointed that there's almost a woe and this tarnishes my good name as the highest strata of our kingdom. I can't let this happen, then ... I contest the future princess, will be repeated!” he said, and everyone immediately called on the name of the empress for the policy she had just taken.

“Return your shirt, Prince. It is not good for you to show off some of your front body other than your future wife later,” said the queen while smiling at her favorite granddaughter.

While Hesa's mother, immediately sat down and cried happily because her son did not so dethroned his title. It was inconceivable what would happen to Hesa if her peerage was truly lost. Perhaps, Hesa's life is all luxurious and adequate will change drastically and far terrible.

Hesa did not respond to her grandmother's words and simply smiled as she buttoned back her shirt and covered the bracelet of her royal title that she had just displayed. If observed, Hesa looks gallant and tough if wearing the bracelets on his arms. It looks like a prince in ancient times.

“Alright, for now ..all contestants and their families, welcome back to your respective pavilions. The actual execution of the contest, will be done after it is announced. Before that time came, the participants were forbidden to leave the pavilion. All your needs will be equipped there so you don't have to go out. If anyone breaks, then that very second, you will be disqualified. Each pavilion will be guarded very strictly in order to avoid cheating including participants who are currently still in the hospital.” A trusted aide to Hesa's grandmother urged everyone to disperse and leave the location.

Everyone seemed satisfied after hearing the announcement but not with Margaret and her family. They want to protest but they can't because they don't have any rights. Raden class Savatinov alone can not dwell in front of Hesa's grandmother let alone other ordinary nobles.

This is what Hesa meant by power reciprocated by power. The proverbial fact that in the sky, there is still the sky is true. Hesa can't fight her father or oppose him, but she can ask her grandmother for help and it's not easy.

There was a written agreement that Hesa had to make so that her grandmother would interfere in the affairs of this competition where the old rules, not allow anyone to interfere in the selection of prospective princesses except the prince's family concerned. However, Hesa risks everything to save Ei from her father's dangers and traps by convincing her grandmother to take part in solving the problem.

“If grandma wants to have a good granddaughter-in-law in this kingdom, shouldn't grandma judge for herself whether or not the girl is worthy of being a princess? At least ... she should know what no other woman out there knows about the ins and outs of the kingdom in ancient times. Princesses today, not really know how the history of our kingdom stands. What if grandma ... tested all the princess candidates in grandmother's way? Not with father's style?”

"What reward would you give me if I followed your request?" ask grandma Hesa.

Hesa did not answer, instead giving a sheet of paper whose contents were known only to Hesa herself and her grandmother.

"I risked my life, for the sake of a woman who became my soul mate." Hesa gave her the royal bracelet and placed it right in front of her grandmother's desk.

"Where's your necklace?" asked Hesa's grandmother in surprise. Because, this time his favorite grandson did not wear a necklace.

"I just gave it to protect the woman I love. Because he is in great danger. This woman is struggling to be my life partner. And I chose her as my wife, Grandma. I don't want her to be hurt, so I'll give her my protective necklace."

That was the word Hesa said to her grandmother so that the empress obeyed her grandson's request. However, there is one thing that Hesa did not know that her grandmother had another reason why she would interfere with the competition held by Hesa's father.
