The Story Of Jammetaria
CHAPTER 32 - Personal Request 2

The atmosphere was bustling as usual, yet the three were already at the city gate preparing for the mission departure this time. Not willing to waste their time darting away, Flying quickly over the forest trees, on the usual roads heading south.

Fly at high speed with a little speed from the bird without load and without even a single foot to the ground before exiting the forest. The wind was blowing so hard that the sunlight did not feel too hot, and they did not need much rest on this long journey.

After exiting the forest and entering the meadow, all of them lowered their speed and altitude to just a few meters from the ground. The wind blew from the broomstick, striking the grass and surprisingly the slime was also a small creature that existed.

The three continued to travel until noon, entering the city and taking a short rest in the city of Anggresia while looking for food. Because this time it wasn't an escort mission and most of the journey was by flying, they could get here 2x faster. Even so this is only half the journey, to reach the village of Bengawansari they have to advance further with a distance that is almost the same as the journey back from here.

They entered the city of Angresia but did not enter too far, Because they were a little rushed they only stopped around the main gate so there was no time to stop by further and visit Rio and Anna.

After finishing eating the three of them left this city and continued on their way. Under the blazing sun they advanced even further. Passed through the vast expanse of grassland and continued to advance forward.

So far the journey has been so ordinary, nothing can attract attention. Just a gust of wind in the vast grassland with sunlight slowly covered in clouds.

The small forest and trees began to appear. The green mountain foot was in sight, along with the yellowing twilight, a sign that their destination was near. The estuary of the river is visible from a distance with upstream over hills and mountains.

Forward further and climb upwards, keeping flying on each of his equipment. After passing through the dense forest around the hill, an open area began to be seen. Hectares of rice fields are visible from above here, shaped like terracing from top to bottom with many houses of residents gathered in a slightly flat area.

Small rivers flow from upstream and wet all the rice fields here. Golden yellowed rice plants, look old but have not been harvested even though the rice barn looks still empty, that's some of the problems that occur here.

According to the contents of the letter, the three did not set foot in this village first. They all went straight to where their client was, a noble who became the leader in this village. Living in a large house like a mansion that is on a higher hill, a white luxury house that seems to have 2-3 floors visible from here.

Not wanting to waste time the three flew behind the clouds and directly landed in front of the mansion. They were greeted kindly by a servant and a few soldiers around him.

“Welcome, Mr. Audrey, Mr. Hendry, and Miss Eliana.

“Include my name Amelia, I am one of the servants working in this residence, let me take the three of you to see Mr. Arganaya serkarang…” Said a beautiful brown-haired maid who looked not much different from the three of them. He looks to use the standard uniform of a waiter, with a short dress blend of black and white (Like a maid costume).

“Good...” All three of any further and follow the waiter until it gets to the living room on the first floor. The living room here is spacious and clean, a fairly high glass window opens in the corners of the room, with curtains tied nearby. Tables and chairs are right in the middle of the room, as well as furniture that looks expensive around it.

“Please wait a moment.. If you need anything you can call me or any other waiter in this residence. Excuse me..”

The three of them were invited to sit down by Amelia, and the servant left them and went to another room that seemed to tell Mr. Arganaya that the invited guest had arrived.

The three waited patiently in the middle of this quiet luxurious living room. The other Guards and Servants were nowhere to be seen in this room, but some of them were glimpsed in other rooms as well as outside the house.

Moments later from upstairs, walk through the main stairs and approach towards them. A 40-something man who did not look old, a little fat but dignified, wearing a neat outfit that was quite refined and of high quality, Coming in charismatic with no overbearing face also rushed up to them immediately.

After the man approached the guest table and prepared to sit down, Audrey Hendry and Eliana immediately got up from their seats. Stand up for a moment, pay your respects as necessary and then all sit back down.

“First I say thank you very much to the three of you who have come far to respond to my request. As in my previous letter, I will repeat it again. Introduce my name is Arganaya Bengawansari, a head of the family and one of the royal lords of the region who currently controls this land.”

They continued the introductions reasonably and politely, even more courteously and politely than some clients even friends they had met before. They did this for nothing but a reason that the person speaking in front of them was a noble (Although it was actually only level 2 from below).

Because usually a child has been taught early to be kind and polite to anyone, let alone a higher status than them.

Nobility itself is a family that controls and leads a region by generations or orders from the kingdom, whether it is limited to the Landlord to the Royal Family. In this empire alone there were at least 6 levels of nobles known in general, it was based on the size of the territory it managed.

Starting from : Landlords, Regional Rulers, Regents, Dukes, Royal Families (Kings), Imperial Families (Emperors).

Landlords are at the lowest level, their territory is only limited to a small village. Regional Ruler level above, the territory can include a large village to a small town that does not have a guild branch, such as Bengawansari village for example.

While the Regent himself controls a large city, such as the city of Anggresia and other cities. The dukes controlled the territory of the capital, in other words one level below the king.

The King controlled 1 kingdom including all in it, while the Emperor controlled the Empire including several kingdoms under it.

Indeed, there are no specific nicknames regarding the rank, but usually their surnames are the same or almost similar to the territory they control (But there are also those that do not), Examples such as “Master Arganaya Bengawansar” himself, or “King Mahendra Jayanaria”.

After the brief introduction, Amelia returned with tea and some small meals in the form of cakes and sandwiches. He poured tea with Grace, then gave it to everyone sitting here, bowed respectfully and then immediately left.

Several cups, cups and plates were stacked neatly on the table. Looks luxurious and classy but does not seem comparable to what is commonly used by the royal family. They all took a spoon, and put the sugar cubes into their respective teas, stirring them slowly until the sugar is mixed and then prepare to drink it.

Without blowing a single bit, all of them raised the cup with their right hand also slightly held back by the cup in their left hand. Drink a few sips and put them back in the cup.

Some of them take the cake, eat it casually using a small spoon or fork, so that the cream does not contaminate the hands and part of the mouth.

Eating and drinking so elegantly and ethically, so different from what they used to do every day. Hendry did the same, though not as well as his brother and Audrey. Seeing this, Mr. Arganaya was impressed…

“Not only is your way of speaking very polite, I did not expect adventurers like you to understand the ethics of drinking tea like this..”.

“Ah no... Actually we have not enjoyed tea like this for a long time.” Eliana replied with a polite smile.

“What do you mean ?”

“Sama like her own Argananya sir. We both also come from noble families.”.

Glucose…

Audrey chokes a little to know what Eliana said. He was curious and surprised but fortunately the cup and cup he was holding did not fall.

Why have you two never told me???, After almost half a year we became adventurers why did I just find out ???

That's what Audrey wanted to say this time, because now that they're keeping the attitude, Audrey's also keeping the word.

“So what do you mean El ?, it seems like you've never told it all this time.” Audrey asked with restraint to her curiosity. The same thing happened to her Argananya master who was sitting across, but to her curiosity was not as big as Audrey.

“If you don't mind, can you please tell..?”.

“Ah this way.. As we told Audrey, we are both not the original adventurers of the capital. Before we met Audrey, we were already traveling from the city to find a member who would like to join you. But before that we both lived in a small village far away. Our father was a landlord in the village, and our family has led for generations.

“But is it okay, for you to be adventurers?, instead in that case your family needs a successor, At least one of you to lead that village ?” Ask Audrey.

“Ah no.. where there may be people who become adventurers for the rest of their lives. After all we just want to feel the freedom as long as we are young, and again our parents are also supportive because this is also an experience.”

“I think the village itself is too narrow, so I think we are men..”.

haps…

Eliana closed her sister's mouth with her hands as soon as possible, her eyes threateningly glancing sharply and as if to say…

Hendry. Please take care of your words…

Hearing Eliana's explanation, Audrey and Mr. Arganaya understood a bit about what was happening about the two of them, and now took the initiative to continue their light conversation before discussing in a heavy direction.

“So so apparently. Well no need to speak formally now, let's talk casually as is, after all I am only a regional ruler, not a high-ranked noble like a member of the royal family. Honestly speaking formally is exhausting.”.

“Good...” Say the three with enough relief, so now Hendry dared to express the intention to ask a question that from earlier harbored.

“Oiya Audrey... why can you be so good at these kinds of things, even it seems like my sister and I just lost.”.

“Ah it hehehe..” Audrey can't tell the truth. He just smiled and answered as much as he could, though in his heart he said…

If I told the truth and they all believed I was afraid they would kneel before me right now…

“You forgot Hen?, his Uncle Audrey is a former royal knight. So it is only natural that sometimes the ethics and knowledge are better than us. You've been visiting even more than Audrey, when you didn't know ?”

“Hemm... True also sis..”.

“Alright because it's getting late let's talk about the main problem..” Said Mr. Arganaya who now his face is starting to get serious.

His alertness nodded, the sound of smiles and laughter that had been heard disappeared, turning drastically to calm down. His third face was solemn and all were compactly silent, listening to what Mr. Arganaya said. About the real problems that are happening in this village…
