The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#132. Kechandeep Lodging
The wind blew a little louder to the point of making dust and dry grasses fly in rolls - rolls swept away by it. In the Savannah which is quite wide and flanked by two hills seen some people talking to each other under a fairly shady tree.
"My name is Motu. Thank you for saving us and my daughter." said the fat man in a dress that looked expensive despite the dust while embracing Hanisa's shoulder.
"There is no need to be exaggerated - raise master.kamk just happens to pass by.. I am jarjit and this is my brother Chen" replied Mathanadeva.
" I don't know how to thank you, but this may be enough to repay your services" Motu said, handing over a bag of money.
"Sorry sir, it is our duty to help others.You should use the money to support the families of the fellow masters who were killed." replied Mathanadeva refused Motu politely.
"But sir..?! " Motu felt the need to pay for the services of Mathadeva and Chen Khu who had saved his life and property.
" There is no need to hesitate, as I said earlier.we also just happened to pass. besides our supplies are still more than enough.. "
"Mr Jarjit... Your abilities are very high are you willing if I hire your services to escort our journey to Gurjara..? "
"excuse me sir.our journey is still far away.after all, you just have to cross the shallow river that is there then you have entered the territory of Gurjara.. after entering the Gurjara region, your journey will not experience interference, ", said Chen Khu, who has been silent since last night.
"True sir, our journey is still very far away while we have to hurry" Mathanadeva added.
"Well if it is like that.thank you for the help and I will always remember your services.may one day we can meet again with a different atmosphere.. " motu answered and then signaled the members to climb on their respective trains.
"Same - same our master also begs.and.nona..keep your father.you are a tough woman.. " mathanadeva said as she looked at Hanisha's face and made the girl bow down in shame.
The aura of nobility possessed by Mathanadeva indeed could not be covered by her disguise. that aura made Hanisha's heart pound as Mathanadeva looked at her.
"emm. we beg of you, said Chen Khu, then pulled out Mathanadeva's arm to go to their horse.

"Does your majesty like that girl..? " asked Chen Khu who arrived - suddenly lowered the speed of his horse with a smile and was followed by Mathanadeva.
"Ah..it's none of your business..!! " mathanadeva replied and again spurred his horse back.
"Horee, the noble one fell in love. " cried Chen Khu who then helped spur his horse following Mathanadeva.
***
"DAUGHTER.. FORGIVE ME FOR NOT RETURNING TO THE CAPITAL AFTER WHAT HAPPENED IN NALAGARH.. ALSO FORGIVE ME FOR NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT THE PLAN WE EXECUTED WITH CHEN KHU.. I'M SORRY IF I HAD TO KEEP IT A SECRET.
WHEN YOU READ THIS LETTER.. WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE KINGDOM OF NISHADA.. I LEAVE GURJARA TO YOU, BECAUSE LATER..YOU WILL CONTINUE WHAT YOUR GRANDFATHER HAS DONE.
THIS TRIP WILL PROBABLY TAKE A WHILE..IT COULD BE A FEW WEEKS OR MAYBE A FEW MONTHS.. SO THEN.. DURING THE DEPARTURE OF FATHER.. I HOPE YOU CAN KEEP THE SECURITY STABILITY OF OUR COUNTRY AND KEEP AN EYE ON OUR PEOPLE.
I APOLOGIZE IF I CAN'T SAY WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING WHEN I GET BACK.
HUG KISS FROM DADDY..!! "
"Hmmm.. " Aahana muttered while closing the scroll delivered by the soldiers of the city of Nalagarh.
"Ayahanda and big brother Chen Khu have not been coming back here.maybe in quite a long time, and during their departure.father asked me to replace him for a while.. " aahana answered and handed over the scroll she had read to Khan.
Khan then opened the scroll and read it, then after a long and heavy sigh he handed the scroll to one of the royal guards.
"Hmm. why does the noble one not tell us what they are working on. "he said.
"I don't know uncle either, but my father must have had his own reasons for doing that.. "
"hopefully they are fine during the trip, and hopefully there is no big event here as long as the noble ones do not exist" Khan said.
"Hopefully it's like that uncle.. "

It was getting dark when Chen Khu and Mathanadeva arrived at a village that was quite crowded, both of them then looked for lodging to pass the night after previously handing over the robbers they had caught this afternoon.
"Today's trip was exhausting for Chen Khu.. I had to clean my body to make it fresher" Mathanadeva said as she stared at the sign reading Kechandeep.
"Just like your majesty, today the temperature is very hot.Even a king must postpone his meeting with the girl he likes.. " replied Chen Khu who was tethering the horse with a smile and glanced at Mathanadeva.
Mathanadeva threw a punch at Chen Khu's stomach which repeatedly teased him during the trip, but Chen Khu was able to dodge the blow and ran into the inn laughing.
The inn they stopped at was quite luxurious.This inn has three floors and the ground floor is a restaurant that was very crowded when both of them entered the restaurant.
"We booked a room for two" Mathanadeva said at a special table occupied by the hostess.
"Okay sir, come" said the maid with a friendly smile taking Mathanadeva and Chen Khu to the third floor.
Some of the warriors who were eating at the restaurant observed Chen Khu and Mathanadeva while climbing the stairs..
Their clothes are not striking.Mathanadeva who carries a sword and the stature of Chen Khu who is narrow-eyed and with brighter skin than the inhabitants of the southern continent in general, of course, attracts attention.
Both of them usually feel if several pairs of eyes watching them but they ignore them because they do not want to get into trouble and just want to rest and fill the stomach so that they can quickly resume the journey.
"This is the room, sir." said the waiter kindly as they reached a spacious room.
"Thank you..! " reply Mathanadeva gave a piece of gold coin as a tip for the servant, and made the servant smile happily.
"oh. yes sir.our inn also provides hot springs.the one at the back of this inn.. " said the waiter with his index finger leading to the stairs located at the end of the hallway.
Hearing the hot spring bath, Mathanadeva and Chen Khu scrambled into each other's rooms to change clothes.. fatigue due to dust and sweat during the trip makes soaking in a hot bath as if something to do immediately.
"For the food how is it, sir..? " said the maid half-cried as Mathanadeva entered the room after Chen Khu had closed the door.
"Later on. we will go down. "reply to Mathanadeva.
The maid smiled at Mathanadeva's reply as she looked at the gold coin in her hand after it was thrown several times.. the coin was finally put in his pocket and the waiter walked back to his desk with a smile full of happiness.
