YM778.TV Chapter 66: chapter 66 - Great Actor
Inside the Throne room, there are only two people, Granada and Akh\'sah.
When The two dragons realize that Taufik and The Two Women entered the Room, Granada looks at them.
"... What affair you have here? We are discussing something important, if you want to talk something to the king, please wait until we are done here"
Granada said, with a strict tone.
"Don\'t be like that Brother, we already talk everything important, there is no more to discuss"
Akh\'sah said to Granada, then Look at Taufik.
"My friends, what can I help you?"
"Not much, I only want to search for something, please continue what you discuss, don\'t mind me"
Taufik said, looking around the room with his All-seeing eyes.
Heard that, Akh\'sah And Granada looked at each other, but they didn\'t continue their discussion, and decided to wait for Taufik to be done with whatever he did.
Taufik looked around the room, he saw every corner of the room, but he didn\'t find anything.
\'... There\'s nothing here too, this just getting more difficult\'
Taufik Thought, back to where the others were.
Akh\'sah who sees Taufik is already done with whatever he did, asks him.
"Are you done, my friend?"
"... Yeah"
Taufik answers shortly, still thinking about the possibility of where the "thing" That caused the Invasion is located in the castle.
"What exactly do you search for?"
"It\'s About what we talkin-...
Taufik stopped when he looked at Akh\'sah or more Precisely at the necklace that Akh\'sah wore.
... Akh\'sah, where\'s you got that necklace"
Taufik who activated his All-seeing eyes all of the time, saw something wrong with the necklace that Akh\'sah wore, if seen by ordinary means, the necklace was just an ordinary necklace, ordinary for a king, but Taufik who saw this necklace for the first time with his All-seeing eyes noticed something wrong with the thing like a crystal on that Necklace that Akh\'sah wore.
That crystal radiates a dark aura, that Dark aura circling the crystal, that makes it like a ring, not only one ring but six rings of dark aura.
-------
"This Necklace, Granada Gave it to me when I officially took the seat as the king, beautiful right?"
Akh\'sah said with a smile, showing that Necklace to Taufik.
Heard that, Taufik looked at Granada, but Granada still showed a calm expression, he then looked at Akh\'sah again.
"... When you officially took the seat as the king?... when is that?"
Taufik asks still eyeing Granada With a suspicious look, but again there\'s no change in Granada\'s expression.
"Hmm...
if I remember it clearly, it was Around when the war with the red dragon ended, We could only do the Coronation at the time because after my father passed away, we couldn\'t do the ceremony because that time the situation was not too good for us and coupled with an invitation from Mahendra who invited to create an alliance aimed at fighting the red dragon, the ceremony has to postponed for a long time, and only after the war ended, we can do the ceremony, so yeah, it\'s Around that time"
Akh\'sah explains long.
after Taufik heard what Akh\'sah said, Taufik\'s hunches became more solid, but he was still not sure, because if what he thought was right the situation would be chaotic for Akh\'sah and his kingdom, not him.
He just needs one more step to be more sure of his hunch, he needs to hold that Necklace and let the system scan that thing, to know what the crystal is and what effect it has.
"Akh\'sah, can I hold that Necklace for a while?"
Heard that, Akh\'sah Looked at Taufik, confused, but he didn\'t think anything weird and only thought maybe Taufik had an interest in jewelry.
"... Sure"
Akh\'sah said, want to take off that Necklace and give it to Taufik.
But he was stopped by Granada, Granada suddenly grabbed Akh\'sah\'s hand who wanted to take that Necklace off.
"Wait, Brother, you can\'t just let someone order you Like that, please think of your dignity as a king!"
Granada said, looking at Taufik.
"Eh... But it\'s just a Necklace, he just wants to touch it for a while, it\'s just for a while, why are you acting like this?"
Akh\'sah said to his brother, but Granada still grabbed his brother\'s hand, and after a few seconds passed
"... Please do as you wish...
Granada said, releasing Akh\'sah\'s hand, then said with a small voice that he thought only he could hear.
... But you will not like the outcome... Brother"
Akh\'sah shakes his head, takes the Necklace off then gives it to Taufik, still confused at his Little brother\'s behavior, not only Akh\'sah but even his little sister Anugerah was confused too,
Kaela looked confused too, but her confusion was different from two Iceland brothers and Sisters, she was confused because she didn\'t know a thing and suddenly found the atmosphere was heavy.
\'Who I am? What am I doing here? Where\'s the Young Master was?\'
Kaela Thought.
-------
Taufik who received the Necklace, quickly ordered the system.
\'System, Scan this thing for me, especially the crystal!\'
[Yes Master, please wait a minute]
[DING]
[Scanning Succes]
[Showed the Item Information]
[Item Name.

A core Fragment of the Beast King who has been dead for a thousand years ago, even if it is just a fragment, it still contains a bit of the Beast King\'s Power.
Effect.
- Can Empower any beast who eats this fragment.
- attract the other beasts around.
Hidden Effect.
If the fragment united with the other fragments, the beast king would come to life once again]
"..."
\'The beast king? That being in the legend that I read in Dagraha library? The evil creature that the angel itself exterminated?\'
\'... Insane\'
Taufik thought, then looked at Granada with intense.
see if there\'s a change in Granada\'s face with his All-seeing eyes, even if it is just a little, he could see it with his eyes.
"... You, do you know what this thing was?"
Taufik asks Granada.
"Why you ask? of course I know"
Granada said still with a calm expression and the same Smile he had shown when they met for the first time.
But Taufik can see there\'s a slight change in Granada Face.
"... You know what this thing could do, right?"
Taufik asks again with a more intense look.
"Of course, I give it to my brother, because it has an effect, you don\'t think that I will give my brother an ordinary item right?"
Granada answers still with the same smile on his face.
"And what the effect was?"
"..."
Akh\'sah who felt the situation become more strange, wanted to say something to break the tension in the air.
"Hy, hy~ you two relax, we-"
But he was getting cut off by Granada.
"It\'s Protection... it has a protection effect, that\'s why I gave it to my brother"
Granada said.
"What!! I never knew that Necklace had-"
"... Lie, your lying"
"..."
When Taufik said that, the atmosphere was getting more heavy, and there was silence for a while, and no one dared to say anything.
"... You lying Granada, you lying to your Family... you lying to your kingdom, your performance all of this time is really great, what are you playing this whole time? A hero who protected his kingdom? Or something else? You really a great actor, I praise you for that, it\'s really a great performance"
Taufik said with a smile while shaking his head, and claping
"... What are you saying? What performance?"
Granada said Still trying to avoid the allegations Taufik gave to him.
"Yeah, what you mean, fik?"
Akh\'sah ask Taufik too.
Taufik then raised the Necklace.
"You see, my eyes are a bit different, I can see if someone is lying or not and This Necklace is indeed not your average Necklace like you said But the effect?... Do you want to say it yourself or do you want me to say it, huh? Mr. Protector?"
"..."
Granada was just silent, didn\'t say anything, and the smile on his face already disappeared.
"This Necklace or this crystal here, was the cause of all your problems, The Name of this Crystal is Fragment of the Beast King Core, the effect? You guys have been through that for over two hundred years now... Do you want me to continue it, oh... great protector?"
Taufik said, raising his tone in the end.
"THE BEAST KING? THE END OF THE BEGINNING?!! THAT BEING?!!"
Kaela asked in shock when she heard what Taufik had said.
Heard that Anugerah looked at Granada.
"Brother, it\'s not true right? you didn\'t do all of this on purpose, right? Please brother tell me what Sir Fik said is wrong, you don\'t do all of this, right?"
Anugerah asked, didn\'t believe her caring brother could do something like this.
And Akh\'sah just looks at his brother wanting to hear the truth directly from his mouth.
But what Granada did next, proved that what Taufik had said was all the truth.
