Light and Night: Across Two Worlds

Chapter 11: Prince White

Two months ago...

Prince White had an interest in digital programming and robotic. At the age of 13 years, he was able to understand complicated things. In Cakrawalla Palace, Prince White quickly felt bored. His friends were only limited to noble children who only wanted to be obeyed at their will. White wanted everything to be fair and equal. White could be friends with anyone regardless of status as long as they were unique, interesting, or smart. White was not interested in the wealth, status, and power highlighted by his friends. After all, currently, he had the highest position among his friends. All noble and rich children competed to become his close friends, but no one really wanted to be his friend.

Secretly, White put many hidden cameras in his friends' bags just for fun. After spying on his classmate, White felt his friends did not have any exciting activities. Most of his friends were just giant babies who do a lot of useless activities. Some of them were actually busy gossiping bad things about White behind. White knew that he was not the type of popular kid. White preferred to struggle with digital program languages that were too difficult for his friends to understand.

White liked to observe many things since very little kid. This little Prince liked to put hidden cameras everywhere, just for personal pleasure to pretend as a secret agent. Every day White added a new spot to put a hidden mini camera in the place where he came. Several places inside the palace and the capital city were his targets. With his own program, White could access the camera in real-time and could do recording either.

Watching a hidden camera for some time was fun. However, if there was no extraordinary activity, then watching all the cameras was finally boring. White needed more interesting and challenging activities. He thought it seemed interesting to infiltrate the communication system of the royal ministry. White thought for a moment. He considered several ministries to be his targets. He smiled. White had decided his target. Of course, the most difficult one. Ministry of Defense.

That day all the important people in the Ministry of Defense were very panicked and desperate. They thought some terrorists had managed to enter their communication system. In every e-mail, closed group chat, social media, and wall screen computer of the Ministry of Defense showed a picture of a White hat said "Gotcha!"

It’s an ambushed attack! The Cakrawalla Kingdom might be in danger!

“Hahaha… moron! You said yourself adults, but your skills below me. How pathetic!” said White snorted.

IT security people tried to restore the situation to normal, but they failed. They couldn’t eliminate the White high hat image icon from the ministry of defense gadgets. It looked like the icon duplicated itself and spread wider when someone tried to delete it. IT Security then alerted all ministries to stop their activities temporarily. They tried to cut the network to localize the virus that was spread by hackers.

“Well, well, well. Everybody is a panic attack now. Who’s the winner now? Oh, such a boring game! You are so easy to lose,” said White smirked at the people on the screen.

White enjoyed panic expressions that arose in each person. He felt a sense of superiority towards the adult’s inability to overcome the situation. He watched as he smiled with satisfaction from behind the screen. His hidden camera showed how excited the palace was in the ministry of defense and the IT area. In fact, several other ministries became anxious for fear of being infiltrated. You fool, White thought to himself. White did not put any danger to the ministry of defense. White just put the logo on to make them knew that their network had been infiltrated. It would show that their digital network security was fragile. The standard wallpaper displayed on all screens had changed to White's logo, Mr. Hat.

On his monitor screen, White also saw that the Ministry of Digital Programming employee had begun to involve. Some employees began to protect their work. White laughed. They worked in vain. They did not know the root cause of the problem and were busy with things that were not useful. Both adults and children were no different. Everybody was stupid.

White saw a young man in his twenties in the Ministry of Digital Programming that was somewhat different. The man sat calmly and focused, typing on his desk. He was not disturbed by the panic situation that occurred. His face remained calm and relaxed. The Minister of Digital Programming, Fajar Tanjung, approached and spoke seriously with him. The person seemed to be listening to instructions and began to work with his laptop. Too bad White couldn't hear their conversation. But that was not a problem. White believed their conversation was not important.

About 15 minutes later, the man smiled and stood up and stretching his body relaxed. He closed the laptop. You were a fool and lazy, White thought. This man was definitely just an ordinary ministry employee who used the situation to go home and relax. The man walked closer to one of the paintings on the wall, where White put one of the hidden cameras. His stupid smile filled one of White's monitor screens. The stupid man showed number three with his fingers and spoke to the painting with lip movements.

Three…. Two… One…

Byar! Blep...

“What????? What happened??” Prince White yelled angrily.

Suddenly all monitors in various ministries became normal again. People cheered with relief. The IT Security department soon announced that the situation had returned to normal and all employees could work again. The man was still standing in front of one of White's monitor screens. Smiling, he waved.

"Bye ... bye ..." said the man with lip movements.

Suddenly, all of the hidden cameras on White's screen were shut down. White's control of the entire camera was gone. White's access to the Ministry's digital network was completely blocked.

Shit! Bastard! 

Who was this guy anyway?

White lost 0-1.
