THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD S2
V4CH 22 MAO SHIZI
“Sorry if I am sassy, does Your Majesty know this human named Zaha?”
The spy became curious and could not help but wish to ask with Zaha's identity upon seeing the shock of the Golden Feather Lion King.
“He is not a Human. But, I cannot reveal his true identity to just anyone or he will come here and give me a very heavy punishment,” replied the Golden Feather Lion King while frowning and looking a little scared.
“Who dares punish the Golden Feather Lion King. If he dares to come to this Palace to make a scene, then we will kill him for the sake of protecting the life of our King. Although I had to sacrifice my life,” countered the spy with a firm voice to convince the Golden Feather Lion King.
“Stop that shit of yours! The power that the man named Zaha possessed was extremely extraordinary. If he wanted to, he could destroy this entire region of the Orange Land with just one finger,” exclaimed the Golden Feather Lion King staring intently at the spy standing before him.
“...” These spies did not dare to reply to a remark from the Golden Feather Lion King. Because, the look on the face of the Golden Feather Lion King looks very serious when saying all this.
The Golden Feather Lion King would indeed not hesitate to lock up this spy if he kept asking something about Zaha.
“Listen to my orders! Tell all the guards not to bother the man named Zaha. Let the man named Zaha go anywhere in this Orange Land, including entering the forbidden place in the Golden Lion Forest. Anyone who dares to break my orders will I fall under sentence of confinement for life,” exclaimed the Golden Feather Lion King gave the order.
The spy actually wanted to refuse the orders of the Golden Feather Lion King. But he stopped that intention, after he heard the punishment that would be given to anyone who dared to break this order.
“Good, Your Majesty. I will immediately notify this King's order to all the spy soldiers so that they immediately spread this order to all the Generals and guard soldiers.”
The spy immediately left the room of the Golden Feather Lion King, although this command sounded out of the way he would think about it. Moreover, the attitude of the Golden Feather Lion King was very strange, even impressed with fear when he heard the name Zaha.
The Golden Feather Lion King immediately stood up from his throne after the spy left. He walked back and forth while putting both his hands behind his back and occasionally shaking his head.
Not long after, a beautiful woman with golden hair came to the Golden Feather Lion King. He was wearing gold-colored clothing made from the fur of a lion.
This woman was Princess Mao Shizi, the only daughter that the Golden Feather Lion King had.
“Why does dad look so agitated? Is the Fire Bull Kingdom going to make another massive attack on our Kingdom again,” asked Mao Shizi.
“The problems we face are bigger than that. Recently the Land of Orange is the arrival of a very powerful creature. If we misbehave with this creature, then this entire region of the Orange Land will be destroyed in just overnight,” replied the Golden Feather Lion King in an agitated voice.
“Can you tell me what really happened in this Orange Land? And what kind of creature makes dad so anxious like this?”
The Golden Feather Lion King immediately whispered about Zaha's identity to his daughter because he was the only person he trusted in this Kingdom.
The look on Princess Mao Shizi's face also turned anxious after hearing the story of the Golden Feather Lion King.
“So apparently we have the arrival of a very special creature. If you don't mind, let me meet that man named Zaha to represent you. It would be very disrespectful if we did not welcome his arrival, when we know that he came to our place,” said Princess Mao Shizi after hearing the story from her father.
“Then father will immediately order some soldiers to escort you to go to meet Zaha. He should be at an inn near the border gate,” the Golden Feather Lion King continued.
But, Princess Mao Shizi immediately rejected her father's offer of wanting to command some soldiers to escort her.
“Dad, let me go alone to meet Zaha. Didn't dad tell me that Zaha didn't want his identity to be known to the crowd. If I come with a Royal escort to meet him, then the people will be suspicious and the real identity of Zaha can be revealed.”
The Golden Feather Lion King nodded his head. But, he was still quick if he had to let his Daughter go alone from this Palace. Because, the face of Princess Mao Shizi who is very beautiful can invite danger to himself.
“Dad can't let you go without an escort,” exclaimed the Golden Feather Lion King.
“Daddy just relax. I will go outside the Palace in disguise and cover my face with a mask,” Princess Mao Shizi then take out a gold medal similar to the one in Zaha's hands. “After all I have this gold medal. If anything happens to me, I just take my mask off and show this gold medal to the soldiers around me.”
“Alright then. But, you must return soon,” said the Golden Feather Lion King looked resigned.
“Good, dad. I promise to be back soon after I send my father's greetings to Zaha.”
Princess Mao Shizi then walked away from the Palace to immediately look for Zaha.

Inside the Inn.
Zaha finally arrived at the inn indicated by the gate guard warrior.
It turned out that this inn was very spacious luxury. However, this inn looked very quiet. Maybe because the price of renting a room at this inn is quite expensive.
Zaha then still went to the inn while still carrying Heilong on his back.
The innkeeper who saw Zaha enter the inn, went straight to him and confronted him.
“Excuse me Sir, forgive me for being forced to stop you. This place is an inn not a hospital. Looks like your friend is injured, is it not better you take him to meet a Physician.”
Zaha immediately took out a pouch made of deer skin and gave the pouch to the maid.
“Take everything in this bag and give me a room.”
The innkeeper immediately received the leather bag and fell silent. His body became trembling as the contents of the leather pouch were gold and a lot of gems.
