Prologue: The Kid from German and Batavian
Once upon a time, ther's a German king with seven sons reigned at the end of the nineteenth century. The King desired a daughter, but the queen passed away. As a result, the king moved to the Dutch East Indies in search of a queen consort. He had a daughter with the young woman from Batavia after they married.
The newborn girl becomes ill after he returns to Germany with his new wife, and the healer at a reputable German court claims that if the baby drinks water from a magical well far from his palace, she will be cured. As a result, the 7th son was given the task of fetching the water. Six others, however, trailed him because they didn't want him to travel alone. In addition, the king granted requests from his six sons.
With a bucket, seven sons went outside the palace to the magical well. When they arrived at the well, they dropped the bucket into a very deep well by accident. They are terrified to return home since they have nothing with which to transport the water. The King, who was displeased at the palace, told his wife,
"What happened to them? They must have gone to play instead of doing their job!"
"They must, nevertheless, be lost. Because that well is located a long distance from the palace."
"I don't give a damn, honey!!! I want to curse them and turn them become ravens!!!"
Shortly later, the palace servant presented the king with a bucket filled with water from the magical well, explaining that he found the bucket along with seven ravens, who flew away when the servant presented him to the king.
"What have I done to them?" the king lamented. Because of this regret, the mother returned to her homeland after mending the princess to raise her kid in peace.

The city of Batavia, a city that is so pleasant, lovely, and peace. That is, according to the upper crust of society. If only the lower classes could express themselves in the same way.
