Jatukarmas
Chapter 4

Hot day, the sun is shining. Not discouraging princess Citrawani to practice martial arts in the backyard of his spacious residence. He had ordered some of his subordinates to build a temporary training ground. Although it was simple, the training building was quite sturdy.

Day and night Citrawani trained his subordinates there. He was determined to galvanize all his subordinates into incomparable tough women, so as not to be easily suppressed by the servants from the empress' residence.

Now, Gentini and twenty other servants followed Citrawani's directions obediently. Sweat in the body. The sports costumes they were wearing had been drenched. The first time the costumes were shared, they were stunned. After trying, they all laughed at each other in amusement. But as time passed, they got used to the costumes designed by their lord Citrawani.

" Now, today's practice is quite !" citrawani. He stepped to the edge of the wallless building, sitting on a wooden bench while wiping the sweat on his forehead. The backyard of his residence was filled with various large and lush old trees. The backyard is connected to an artificial forest built by the previous king.

The servants dispersed themselves, returning to their respective duties. Sekar was still wearing a sports costume, pouring a glass of sweet water for the princess.

"Dark, what about the skill class setting I requested? When's finished?" ask Citrawani .

"It's almost done, princess. Only a few foreign-made tools were not yet available, for indeed the merchants of the distant land had not yet docked at the Galuh End, the princess ."

"alright. What tools are not available? I have a few different plans. I can determine what we've been able to make with the materials and tools available."

"Let me make the list first, princess."

Citrawani waved her hand.

"You can leave me, Sekar. I still want to fuss here."

Citrawani enjoyed the breeze of the wind cradling his face, until he was sleepy. Birds chirping as if humming. He almost fell asleep, but his vigilance rose when he heard the tickling tickle from the direction of the artificial forest.

A man sat swaying his legs on a tree branch, not far from the bench where Citrawani leaned. The man wore a short dress and a headband like a swordsman.

"Cousin sister, what you did there, fell asleep like a piglet. Hihih."

Citrawani hit his own head. He remembered who that man was. Raden Surya Kencana, brother of Raden Suryapaksi. A few days ago the man had visited her officially at the residence, along with several sons and daughters of the kingdom.

"Cousin brother, why sit on a branch like a monkey?" Citrawani replied while laughing.

She knew that her husband's sister was a bit careless and did not like all kinds of worship in the palace. Sekar told him. Turns right. Meeting just once, they had been familiar and liked each other, like cousins in general.

"Where is a monkey as handsome as me, cousin sister?"

"Where is the pig as a slave, cousin brother?"

"What is that thing?"

"That's funny and adorable."

"Oh."

Shuuuuhh.

Raden Surya Kencana drifting down . He stood in front of Citrawani, his body leaning forward observing the girl's sports costume.

"Aah, sister ! Where did you get clothes like this?" Raden Surya Kencana. "Look closely, in this uniform it turns out you don't look like a pig. You look more like a bird-push doll in a rice field. Hihih."

"Let's just say that you like my uniform. I'll make one for my brother. "

"Ah, ogah ! I'll look like a bird repellent, too. "

"Never seen a stuffed bird repellent ?"

"Ever, in the fields many are like that !"

"In which fields?"

"Okay, sister. The crater was outside the city . In the villages there are many."

"Sister cruises out of town often?"

"Of course, sister. Your cousin's brother is a traveling swordsman, there are many villages and towns that you have come to."

"The happy step is that I can also travel like a cousin" muttered Citrawani.

"Ayahanda won't let your sister cruise out of town, unless....."

"Except what, brother?"

"Hmm.I can't say it, so that the younger brother doesn't want to leave," Raden Surya Kencana grinned mysteriously.

"Oh big brother, fellow cousins there should be no hidden secrets, you know," Citrawani persuaded his cousin. He had been told by Sekar, that his cousin has a peculiar nature, sometimes his mindset like a child.

Surya Kencana is easily persuaded by people he considers friends. His behavior also often does not show the seriousness of adults. Like adventure, deep martial arts to distant colleges. Likes to have fun, gamble and play around. So even though he was the eldest son, it was not he who inherited the title of crown prince.

"Who said fellow cousins shouldn't have secrets?" surya Kencana's smile is mysterious. "That's the one behind your bird repellent uniform, there's a little sister secret I shouldn't know, right?"

Citrawani's face flushed red as Surya Kencana pointed at her chest nonchalantly.

"Don't talk carelessly, brother ! If anyone hears, it can be bad. Brother can be prosecuted for female abuse, you know!"

"What harassment? It's sister, there's a blue glow on your chest," cuefully, Surya Kencana again pointed at Citrawani's chest.

The girl nodded. How could Surya Kencana know, the bright blue gem that adorned his pendant? The necklace and pendant he always wore was hidden behind his clothes.

"Hahaha, sister, you are confused huh, hahaha. Don't worry, one day you'll take you on a cruise out of town, as long as you're good to me, hahaha..."

Echoes of his laughter were still heard, as the prince jumped away and disappeared in the grove of trees.

Citrawani raised her hand to call, but she realized it was too late. His cousin's shadow is no longer visible. The science of running fast, even far beyond Citrawani. The girl was dumbstruck.

He felt his chest, touched the blue-eyed golden necklace he remembered, he had worn since he came to this ancient world. He remembered, this necklace jewel shone in the middle of darkness. But it happens if the necklace is not covered in clothes.

Right now, the sun was shining and he hid the necklace behind his clothes. But Surya Kencana saw it in a big way.

Various unanswered questions, raging in his mind.

"Sir, all the equipment you requested, the list is complete !" A search shows the wooden crates stacked in the middle of the room.

"alright. Let me tell the male servant to open it. Now, I ask you to give my request to the Queen Mother to ask to meet. "

"Okay, princess. "

..

That afternoon the king's consort received Citrawani at his residence. The beautiful and graceful middle-aged woman smiled as Citrawani saluted her.

"Partner, Sekar has reported to me that you want to discuss something with me. Tell me, what do you want, son? Are you in good health after falling unconscious?"

"That's why I knew it, and I knew it, son. You don't have to worry. The important thing is that you take care of yourself and take medicine from the healer regularly."

"Thank you, Mother. For that my servant came here. Since experiencing amnesia, I have no memories, no memories of relationships with anyone. I feel very lonely."

Citrawani paused for a moment, to give a dramatic effect to her acting. The King's Empress was visibly emotionally touched. He clasped Citrawani's hand tightly.

"Son, you cannot feel that way. This palace is a lot of inhabitants, you can mingle with your brother, with your elder sister, or with your mother. I will always gladly accept you with open arms..."

"Thank you, mother. The servant becomes relieved now, may rely on the mother for the foreseeable future," Citrawani kowtowed at the feet of her in-laws.

"Don't hesitate, son. Your mother has known you and loved you since you were a scourge. How could you not count on me?"

"Hamba was sure of his mother, but.the servant also felt fear.This palace is so vast, Mother ..the inhabitants of the palace are so many, people's hearts are unpredictable." citrawani's trained voice turned into a heartbreaking and miserable quiver.

Queen Panjalu moved her daughter-in-law and invited her to sit down.

"Pity yourself, my son. You are so young and beautiful. Mother is sure, you will be able to carry yourself well, as before. Over time, your brother's feelings will return to you. He only needs to be convinced that you are still the Citrawani he loved first...You just need to be patient and keep giving up.."

"The servant will remember all the counsel of the mother ." Citrawani smiled sweetly. "Mother, if I may I wish to ask my mother for something ..."

"What do you want, Citra? Tell the mother.'

"Hamba begged to be allowed to build a skill school for the female servants in the servant residence."

"Oh, what skills are you going to teach them, son?"

"Various kinds of life skills, ranging from cooking science, health science, sports, to agricultural science, mother. If mother allows it, I'll start the class tomorrow."

"Well, that fast?" Empresses amazed.

"The building has been prepared, mother. The entertainment room in the servant residence had been rehabilitated into a classroom. The backyard has also been converted into a sports class and plantation. I beg you for forgiveness if your mother does not agree with the sincerity of the servant..."

"Oh, good, your mother is very interested in the fruits of your thinking" praised the king's consort. "So once they learn, what does that skill do for them?"

"If they had been experts in their respective fields, they would have been slaves to plunge directly into society, to serve for the welfare of the people of our kingdom," Citrawani lowered his head while covering his hands.

"Well, well, what a noble wish." said one clapping.

Citrawani. His Majesty King Aryaiswara stood at the door accompanied by several of his guards. Citrawani immediately kowtowed at the feet of her father-in-law.

"King's Father," Citrawani raised her head while covering both of her hands.

"My Empress, why don't you share the happiness news with me?" scold the king. The middle-aged man who was still mighty sat beside his wife with a smile. The Empress held her husband's hand affectionately.

"Hamba just doesn't want to make this kid feel insecure, you know, because he's still in a confused state . The servant's plan will come to your majesty later, but you happen to have approached the servant first."

"So good, my queen. Uaah, my muscles feel stiff. I'd like to take a short walk around the palace. Later tonight come to the contest, there is something I want to talk about . "

"And you, my son, I allow you to realize the ideas you have. You can also find some experts to become a teacher in your classroom. As long as it's not against the norm in our royal family, and you can account for the flow of funds you use."

" Thank you, Father of the King.." Citrawani worshipped with a radiant face.

He was still prostrating until his father-in-law had far stepped away from the queen consort's palace.

.....

.......

The servants at the Citrawani residence were busy unloading the containers sent by the merchants from the far country. Various kinds of items that are foreign and rarely seen by people, make the servants amazed.

"It's a lot of thin needles, what's this for, princess?" tanya Sekar was curious. There were so many things he asked.

"That's the name of the totok needle, Sekar. If in a distant country, the name acupuncture needles, for treatment. "

"Kata Raden Surya Kencana, the science of blood can be to paralyze people, it can also be to treat the sick. Is that right, princess ?"

"so. Vast. If you keep asking, I'll poke your veins so you laugh seven days and seven nights without stopping" Citrawani threatened. He's just kidding. But Sekar took it seriously, until when he saw even the strangest thing, he kept his mouth shut, not daring to ask.

Gentini who had just come and knew nothing, screamed in agility at the sight of several boxes full of fat caterpillars.

"Iiihhh, ulaaat .." cried out with a goosebumping body. He ran away in agitation when Citrawani plucked a caterpillar and ignorantly thrust it at him. Citrawani laughed and handed the caterpillar to another waiter.

The furore happened because all the female servants were flushed away while screaming in amusement. Citrawani chuckled happily.

"What is this for, princess?" Ki Parwata, the head of Citrawani's residence guard asked. These guys are usually very quiet. But this time apparently he was very curious to see fat caterpillars specially ordered from traders outside the island.

"Uncle Parwata, and the servants all. Listen carefully yes! No one asks anymore. This is a silkworm, which will produce silk thread, to then be woven into silk cloth."

"Oohhh??"

The sounds of astonishment were buzzing everywhere. Citrawani let the servants and bodyguards wonder for themselves. He was engrossed in observing fat caterpillars that were in hibernation. When he was satisfied, he raised his hand. The atmosphere became quiet.

"alright. I'll tell you yes. We'll build a silkworm farm from now on. And you're the ones who'll be in charge of taking care of them. For the food, you do not need to worry, we already have a lot of supplies. You know what silkworm food is?"

Ten heads shook.

"Huh? No one knows, huh? Apparently your biology lessons are pretty superficial, huh..." Citrawani wiggled her index finger left and right.

The servants and guards gawked. Friday again the strange vocabulary disease princess, so they thought.

"The diet of silkworms is a leaf whose young shoots you usually make anointing, whose fruit is usually picked by children. Hayo, you know what?"

All second-guessing. Since nothing was right, Citrawani answered himself.

"The great leaves, or mulberry leaves, which grow in the back forest."

"Eh.ya aampuun.daun it anyway."

"Much on the fence. In the back woods too many."

"Rubber. But it is still lacking in the future.. From tomorrow, we clear the empty side area, we plant a mulberry tree ."

The guards cheered.

No one realized, a body that was intending from above a large tree in the back forest, suddenly flashed away.
