The enthroned new King and the presence of the foreign army had changed everything in the Capital. The good order that had been well-managed in years before become crumble.
Due to the Red River Agreement, the economy in Magelang Kingdom crumble drastically.
It is now hard to make a living in the Capital City.
The feelings of becoming the champion of the war, had plant a seed of superiotiy complex inside Marcog's members. This seed grown into a wild poisonous plant. The plant of criminal mind or evil doers. Everything was right for Marcog. Any objection would be threated as evil's opinion and the person should be tortured to the death.
Since the Marcog had direct backup from the new King, there were not many people dare to oppose them.
As if a lawless country, the border between right or wrong no longer exists in Magelang. Every one hour will produce one record of crime. Their victims were countless, everywhere.
There were no justice. It's all about the power. No law enforcement anymore, when applied to Marcog's member. Every law violation related to them will lead to a pressure toward the police.
No one need the police this days. Not ever the King, or nobles, even the commoner had lost their trusht toward the law. This situation led the member of the Magelang Police Department into desperation. Very soon, their desperation reached its peak and led into self disbandment.
But silently, most of them chose to stand beside Princess Isvara's side. One by one, they join the Princess Isvara's Faction to oppose the evil.

Few Days Later.
Krav-Gilan Pine forests, A day walk from Capital City of Magelang.
------------------------
A refugee convoy was seen flowing out of the capital. Their face looked so grim. There were trace of anger, sad and grieve written on their face. Most of them felt sad to left their hometown, in search of peace. Sometimes their condemn toward the new Kings or Marcog forces could be heard here and there. Those people had felt be forced to leave everything behind because the incompetent new King and the arrogance of conquestors.
Those refugee were not only from native of Magelang, there were also family of foreign merchant that had live in Magelang for years.
This convoy were directly lead by the Princess Isvara. She rode her horse on top of the front convoy. Everyone knew, she was still angry for her sibling. The news about her slapping the King's face had been known by public. Most of them felt touched by the Princess's anger. They portray her as their new heroine, their hope. Especially the victims of Marcog's crime.
But no one's know that her anger explode due her acute toothache, and triggered by the new King's self proclaim.

*Liutenant Colonel Elon's POV
----------------------------------------------------
I had never thought that the selfish Princess of last line from Royal family had a strong sense of justice and patriotism. To thought that she dare to oppose their own sibling and even giving them face slap before running away, really gave me shudder.
I thought more, that she was the sole role model of my true patron. She should be the one I follow until my last breath.
I never saw her smile since the her brother self proclaimed the throne, not even once. Might be her rage were never be ceased down till her resolution accomplished.
I still remembered, the day I presented myself to her, she officially asked my and my loyal comrades to follow her. Few days ago ...
" Lieutenant Colonel Elon.."
" Your highness, I was no longer Liuetenant Colonel since I my self proclaimed my desertion from Police Departement. I am now just your people who begged to be allowed to serve your highness."
She put her grim face. The air around her turn darker.
" The new King was a failure. He was dumb and ignorance. I lost any hope in him. This Kingdom will be affected. His goverment was never ha a good will to serve its people. Soon or later, the foreign country called Nevernia will completely devour this country and enslaved our people.
I want to prevent that tragedy happened. I want restore the good order. First, I have to find the old King, my father. Then apply a proper plan to restore our freedom, so everyone could live in harmony again.
The last news I received that he was targeted in assasination at our castle in Sharang Lake, but he was able to escape. I need to go there. Would you follow me, Sir Elon ?" Her expression getting darker.
I bowwed to her with all my respect. She was the lord I deserved to serve.
" Absolutely, your highness. My life at your disposal."
" No, your existence were important for our country's freedom. Because you must fight and I forbid you to die. I'll beat you up if you dare to surrender to the dying."
" It's an honor your highness think so high of me."
" Then gather your loyal comrade. Once again, revive your forces as an army. You're all no longer just a police department. You'll be burdened by army's task. I'll bestow you're all a new name, National-Freedom Front. Your duty's was written as your army's name. You're will be their leader."
" It is my pleasure to serve you, Your Highness."
" I hereby declare to put you in duty again as my Liutenant Colonel Elon, the leader of National-Freedom Front. The rest of you should become his aides."
" As your wish, Your Highness!" My fellows responded with full of spirit. I see the new hope has born in their eyes.
" I'll not disappoint you, Your Highness. Leave everything to me."
She nodded with a serious face.
" We don't have much time. Now go, Re-established your force, We'll march into Sharang Lake, along with the refugees, escort them to Sharang Lake, established new base there, find out the old King and take our Country back into our hand." I saw a flame of rage within her expression.
I must admit, compare to others prince, she looks more capable, even compared to the newly enthroned King.
As a princess who had raised under tutor the great hero, Duchess Nindya, she's really capable. She had a leadership bloodline, instead from her father, looked like she inherited the leadership talent from his deceased mother too, the heroic queen Prativi.
" Consider it done, Your Highness !" I administer a perfect salute to her, then take my leave.
" Let's go everyone !"
------
" Were you daydreaming, Lieutenant Colonel Elon ?" Her voice awoken me from my remembrance.
" Err.. No, Your Higness. I just wondering, what was another reason to go to Sharang Lake ?"
" It was simple, my Liutenenan Colonel, I want to had a backup from my old teacher, Lady Nindya and her Family. Though I had sent a message to them to their house in the Capital City, I believe that meet her face to face directly in their teritorry will easily convince her."
