The Three Chosen
272. Birthmarks

The masked man took Gayatri somewhere.

“ We hid here first yes..” said the masked man and embraced Gayatri.

Now they are in a strange place. Even though it was still in Graha's area of power, but Gayatri had never set foot in that place.

“ What is this place..?” ask Gayatri.

“ Here I stayed all this time. That's why no one can find me.” said the masked man with a smile.

Suddenly the voice of a woman greeting the man made Gayatri and the masked man turn his head. Gayatri was shocked when she saw a beautiful distended woman walking quickly towards them.

“ You go home too Dear...,” said the beautiful woman while squandering into the arms of the masked man.

“ Of course. I may not leave you here, my dear.” said the masked man as he hugged the beautiful woman and then kissed her forehead gently.

“ Dear...?!” gayatri was surprised.

It was as if it were to be noticed that there was someone else there, the masked man and the beautiful woman were breaking into each other's hugs.

“ What does all this mean...?!” tanya Gayatri was angry.

“ Relax Gayatri, I can explain everything. Now we go into the house first yes..,” persuaded the man while holding Gayatri's hand and bringing her in.

The beautiful woman smiled and followed Gayatri and the man entered the house. But not to mention his steps reaching the door of the house a pair of hands blocked his steps and smothered his mouth. The woman screamed with restraint to the surprise of Gayatri and the masked man.

When Gayatri turned his body he saw that the Graha king's personal guard had surrounded the place. Even though it only numbered a few people but it made Gayatri's guts shrink because he knew very well the level of their strength.

“ You are surrounded. It's best to just give up or you take responsibility yourself as a result.!” said one of the king's personal guards loudly.

“ Are you threatening me ?. Have you forgotten who you are dealing with, where is your polite attitude.?” hardik Gayatri was angry.

“ Forgive Us. But since you ran off with that man since then it was Our courtesy for you to be missing Ms. Gayatri..,” said the bodyguard with a cynical smile.

The bodyguard's answer made Gayatri gasp in shock. She realized that her act of running away from her husband had automatically renounced her right to be the king's consort to be respected by all.

Gayatri was surprised when a sword stuck to her neck. It turned out that the sword belonged to the masked man who had been loved by Gayatri and was struggling to control the kingdom. In his heart Gayatri was disappointed to be taken hostage to save the beautiful pregnant woman whose status was not yet known by Gayatri.

“ Fuck that courtesy. Now release the woman if you want Gayatri safe..!” the masked man said as he pressed a sword against Gayatri's neck.

The situation became silent for a moment. The two camps both have one female hostage to threaten. Meanwhile, Gayatri felt that the sharp side of the sword began to scratch the skin of her neck. Apparently the masked man was so angry to see his woman held hostage that he did not realize that his sword had actually injured Gayatri.

Seeing Gayatri grimacing from the pain from the sword scratch made Graha's personal guards start to waver. They looked at each other confused. However, Gayatri was still their King's wife and they did not want to be blamed if Gayatri was injured because they failed to look after her.

But the silence ended when a wind hit Gayatri until the man who held her hostage fell to the side. Then a hand pulled Gayatri away from the masked man. When Gayatri sharpened his vision he was surprised because the king of Graha had saved him earlier.

Then the king of Graha handed Gayatri over to his other bodyguards and asked her to look after Gayatri.

“ Take care and keep an eye on him carefully. Do not let him run, even a little.” said the king Graha flat.

The masked man immediately got up. Now he stood face to face with the king of Graha.

“ Unmask you and face me knightly. If you were a real man, you wouldn't hide your real face behind that mask.” said the king of Graha Ketus.

The man laughed then slowly took off his mask and threw it in any direction. Now the face of the man who turned out to be Jaladra was clearly displayed in front of everyone. The Graha King smiled sinisterly looking at Jaladra.

“ Lucky I rejected your application at that time. Because my daughter is too perfect for a rotten man like you.” said the king of Graha.

“ But this rotten man has made your wife turn away from you.” Jaladra said proudly.

“ Unfortunately I have to admit your greatness that one..,” said the king of Graha with a red face and then pushed forward to attack Jaladra.

A fierce battle ensued. King Graha and Jaladra turned out to have balanced strength. Iyaz and Izar who were present there also seemed amazed to see the battle of the two great men.

“ It's a rare battle. Unfortunately my phone can not be used here..,” complained Izar.

“ What the heck You Zar, still think of a mobile phone at a crucial time rich gini..,” said Iyaz regretted.

“ This is a unique battle, life again. If you can dishare it exciting tuh..,” joked Izar while smiling.

But Izar's smile faded when he saw the Graha king slammed down due to Jaladra's attack. The Graha King looked hard to get up and it made Jaladra laugh in satisfaction. Thinking he won Jaladra also attacked the Graha king with full force while brandishing a blue ball-shaped stone. A bluish light shot out from the ball and moved straight towards the king. The personal guards of the Graha king moved to protect their king from Jaladra's attack by making a circle around the king.

As a result, Iyaz and Izar were shocked. The personal guards of the Graha king suffered severe burns from the blue ball. But the guards kept on protecting the king.

Iyaz and Izar also intervened to help when he saw Jaladra again moving towards the king of Graha. His cruel eyes indicate that Jaladra intended to kill the king. Iyaz and Izar pu had to endure the anger of Jaladra for failing to finish off the king. Now they are engaged in a fierce battle.

Raja Graha also rose up with the help of his guards. He looked at the twins and Jaladra who were fighting. Then he looked at Gayatri who looked worried watching the fight. It was at this moment that the king of Graha realized that Gayatri's love for him was over. The Graha King clenched his hands and stepped forward to stop Jaladra's fight with the twins.

Suddenly the beautiful woman who had welcomed Jaladra's arrival screamed in pain. Apparently he had a contraction due to the tension watching the battle that had occurred since earlier. The scream caught Jaladra off guard and benefited the twins. The two jumped together and grabbed the blue ball from Jaladra's hand and kicked it with full force until Jaladra slammed into the ground.

The blue ball which is a Graha kingdom heirloom is not an ordinary object that can be touched carelessly. Anyone who touches the blue ball will burn to ashes if they have no special ability. But the twins casually held the object and handed it to the Graha king. Jaladra screamed in anger and tried to attack the Graha king but failed. Apparently the existence of the blue ball gave special powers to the Graha king.

A bluish light slowly shot out from the ball then enlarged and enveloped the Graha king's body. The personal guards of the Graha king and everyone who was there then fell down while bowing their heads. Apparently the light was a sign that the great ancestor was present there.

Iyaz and Izar who witnessed it moved away to make room for the Graha king and his people to communicate with their ancestors.

“ Fight this battle because you will only hurt each other. You are Jaladra, the throne will never be yours even if you kill Graha. Because Graha has a special mark that was carried since he was born. Only he can lead this kingdom well and not another until the successor is born later.” said the great ancestor.

“ But I also have the same birthmark as him Tuanku...,” Jaladra said riled up.

“ That's the birthmark that the devil created to divide your union. Forget it because we won't be fooled. We only choose the person who carries the birthmark since in his mother's womb to be the leader in this kingdom.” said the great ancestor.

It was then shown how a healer drew a bluish mark on Jaladra's upper arm as a baby. The healer was the personal bodyguard of Graha's rebellious father. After drawing the exact same birthmark that Graha had, the healer committed suicide by leaving a letter stating that Jaladra was the true heir to the throne of the kingdom.

Seeing the picture made Jaladra embarrassed and lowered his face even more. He wept regretting his actions and rested before the king of Graha.
