Mahesa and the servant Nawang Wulan were shocked to hear Zein's rejection, the rumors about his cold and heartless attitude, now they have seen it for themselves.

""Excuse me, Your Highness. The Princess loves you very much, don't you think what you said earlier was too much," said the servant Nawang Wulan trying to remind Zein.

"You have no right to speak, so don't be presumptuous!" Mahesa snapped.

Zein turned his body to see the figure of the servant, the servant dared to look at the handsome face of the Prince.

"Do I have to marry every girl who likes me?"

Zein's question seemed to slap the waiter in the face, making her lower her head in shame.

"It is not proper for a servant to raise his head in front of a Crown Prince, as it could be considered an act of disrespect," Zein continued.

The maid widened her eyes, her hands sweating coldly from fear. She hoped her master would speak up to protect her.

Zein Zulkarnain turned his body around again and left the place.

Mahesa walked one step closer to the servant then whispered, "Don't ever be presumptuous in front of the Crown Prince.” After that he saluted Nawang Wulan before finally following Zein.

Nawang Wulan raised her head, tears were seen streaming down her white cheeks, her gaze was only focused on the Prince's back which was getting further away.

"Why did the Prince refuse immediately? Weren't we already matched?" The servant felt concerned about what happened to her master. But she also couldn't do anything to help her master, because she was ashamed of being just a small servant.

Servants' room...

"Ezra, is the Prince not coming back?" Arsy asked, making Ezra frown strangely.

"Do you feel like the Prince has returned after carrying you?" Ezra replied sneeringly.

Arsy chuckled softly. "You're right, then we should get out of here immediately. I don't want Ne Shu's daughter to get worse and stir up trouble with Concubine Sekar."

Ezra nodded in confirmation of his friend's words. "You're right, but... How about we ask the Prince to be his personal servant?"

Ezra's words are true, Zein Zulkarnain may seem cold but he is not actually a cruel ruler.

"I agree, well then we better go out and look for the Prince."

Ezra nodded, they immediately exited the room.

Meigui Pavilion...

Prang ...
Ne Shu dropped everything on her dressing table, her jaw clenched and her face flushed red.

"Ne Shu, what happened?" Sekar Wangi was shocked to see her daughter's room in a mess.

She heard Zein save Arsy when her son was giving punishment at the service, that was the reason she came.

Ne Shu turned around and stared at her mother with red eyes full of anger, the girl ran and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mother, I am very upset. Today I intended to give 50 lashes to the servant of Arsy, but the first brother came and stopped it. I was so upset seeing Big Brother being so affectionate towards that lowly servant.”

Sekar Wangi returned her daughter's hug, her heart also became angry when she heard the story of her beloved daughter.

"The Crown Prince is really too much, she can interfere between the master and the servant."

Ne Shu slowly released her embrace from her mother and looked at the woman sadly. "Mother, please give me justice."

Sekar Wangi nodded. "Don't worry, Mother will definitely give you justice."

Ne Shu merasa sangat senang, rasanya tidak sabar melihat Arsy dihukum.

Ne Shu was very happy because Sekar Wangi always protected her.

"Now let's go meet your father, we will see how the crown prince is punished," said Sekar Wangi with a sly smile.

Ne Shu nodded quickly, feeling impatient to report this problem to Jaya Negara.

The royal hall...

Jaya Negara and Prameswari were shocked to hear the story from Ne Shu that Zein had hit him to protect Arsy. It was unbelievable that their son would do that to the second Princess of Sekar Wangi.

"Soldiers! Call the Crown Prince Kamari!" Jaya Negara ordered.

Several soldiers walked towards the King and bowed respectfully then nodded in obedience to orders.

***

Zein and Mahesa met Jaya Negara's envoy as they walked through a long corridor, the Commander of the soldiers saluted Zein.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. We have come to bring His Majesty to the King."

Zein nodded without asking why his father ordered the soldiers to come to him.

On the way he met Arsy and Ezra, the two servants bowed their heads.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Zein only responded with Hn, feeling dissatisfied with Zein's answer, Arsy asked the guard to stop for a moment.

"Sir, wait," said Arsy.

The commander of the soldiers stopped in his tracks as did the other soldiers.

"Please let me speak to His Highness Prince Zein," Arsy requested.

"No, His Highness the Prince has been summoned to stand trial. No one is allowed to interfere," the commander-in-chief firmly refused.

Mahesa, Ezra and Arsy were shocked while Zein only showed a calm expression without the slightest worry.

"No need to make a fuss, let's go now," Zein ordered.

The commander and several soldiers continued their journey, while Arsy, Ezra and Mahesa felt something was wrong so they decided to follow them.

The royal hall...

Sekar Wangi and Ne Shu smiled slyly when they saw Zein being escorted by the commander and several soldiers. Their happiness became even more pronounced when they saw Mahesa, Arsy and Ezra also coming along.

"Father, what is the matter that you asked me to come like a prisoner? Is it related to protecting the servant of the Throne?” Asked Zein when he was in front of Jaya Negara. His lips smiled crookedly, glancing at Sekar Wangi and Ne Shu standing beside him.

"Crown Prince, you are too much! Just for the sake of a lowly servant, you are willing to hurt your own sister!” Accuse Sekar Wangi without providing any evidence for her accusations.

Zein turned his attention to Sekar Wangi, looking at the woman sarcastically. "Hurt my sister? How did I hurt her? What evidence does the concubine have for this accusation?" Zein asked calmly.

Sekar Wangi was confused about answering Zein's questions, she didn't have any evidence and she didn't know how to prove her statement, everything she said was based on complaints from her daughter.

Jaya Negara turned his attention to his main concubine, the woman looked panicked because she was unable to answer.

"Dad, it seems like Mom can't answer..." Zein glanced at Ne Shu.

"Maybe Ne Shu can help, if no one can explain let me show you what really happened," he continued.

Zein was silent for a moment waiting for evidence from Ne Shu or Sekar Wangi, after several minutes they still couldn't show any evidence he turned his attention back to Jaya Negara and Prameswari.

"Father, Mother. Since they can't provide any evidence, then let me show you what really happened."
