THE SUN GOD SWORD
At the dinner table
Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu returned to Swarnadwipa Palace about 1/4 of the early evening, when a big party involving all the people was taking place.
Now they can see there are a lot of shows that are being held, the dance of the girls, the animal circus and there are many more.
This event has actually been going on since this morning. In that place, everyone can enjoy a wide variety of food and drinks for free. Yes, Saylendra will compensate traders who sell.
“Hem...festive event.” Sungsang Geni swept a glance for a moment, then rushed towards the back door of the Palace which was guarded by about 10 soldiers.
Even so festive, but no one could enter the Palace without permission, it was a violent offense. Even soldiers who had no interests were also forbidden to enter it.
“We want to meet King Saylendra!” sungsang Geni.
The gatekeeper looked doubtful, they glanced at each other then turned their eyes towards Sungsang Geni who was dressed in tatters. “Beggar, if you want food you better take it there, it's geratis. But you can't be allowed to enter the Palace!”
“We are not beggars and we do not come for food.” Cempaka Ayu looks upset.
“Begini sir, we have come here to give you the coconut fruit that is said by King Saylendra.” Sungsang Geni showed a glimpse of a coconut fruit that he wrapped in his clothes . “How do you guys allow us!”
Finding that, one of the guards hurriedly ran into the Palace. It took about 20 minutes until it was seen Saylendra himself coming in followed by a mighty Hulubalang.
Not to forget also a young healer, a sweet-faced girl, tailed behind them. When the girl saw Sungsang Geni's face, she smiled sweetly.
“Why did you let him sit outside?” Saylendra said heavily to all of the palace's doormen. “Young people, let's go in! Forgive me for being late to welcome you.”
Sungsang Geni smiled slightly, while Cempaka Ayu was visibly upset waiting for a long time outside the Palace and was treated poorly by the guard soldiers.
Before entering the Palace, Hulubalang spread out his palms. “Ma'af Your Majesty, but I want to see the coconut brought by this young man.”
The young man handed the bundle over, Saylendra watched for a moment and handed it to the young healer behind him.
Long enough, the girl flipped through the coconut position of some catfish, then she was surprised instead of a cockerel.
“What's up?”ask Saylendra.
“This is really coconut ivory, the energy just suddenly came out to make me surprised.”
Happy feeling then enveloped the King's face, he then brought Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu hurriedly. The king ordered several maids to serve the two of them, giving them two magnificent rooms complete with baths and changing clothes.
Two beautiful-faced ladies-in-waiting took both of them on the highest floor of this Palace. Only royal members were allowed to be on that floor, while the guest of honor was on the previous floor.
Everyone who noticed the clothes of Sungsang Geni, obviously did not expect that the young man managed to get the ivory coconut, which even all the soldiers in this country were unable to do.
Not only soldiers, warriors from neighboring Negri also had the intention to meet the competition held by Saylendra once a month. But no one returned safely.
“Do you want us to accompany you, master swordsman?” one of the beautiful ladies asked.
“What? No, no, I can do everything myself.” Sungsang Geni then smiled slightly, making the two maids who were with him blush in embarrassment.
“Then, we'll go. Relax comfortably!” the two maids bowed, then timidly left the young man.
After he had finished cleaning his body, and wearing comfortable clothes, there was a knock on the door outside his room.
“Cempaka?” Sungsang Geni found the girl standing majestically, wearing green clothes and scarves, her eyes were round with thin lips as if they were clashing with her clothes. “You are so beautiful..oh no, I mean why did you come to my room these nights?”
“Master, King Saylendra invited the two of you to eat together.” Apparently there were two ladies-in-waiting along with Cempaka Ayu standing behind the door, with slightly irritated faces.
The two maids were a little envious of Cempaka Ayu's beauty, they didn't expect the girl to look so graceful with the clothes she was wearing. It was as if the clothes were indeed forged for his body.
Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu then arrived at the unusually large dining room, with menus spread out over a luxurious table lined with gold.
There are already some people like King Sayelendera, his daughter who is fondling her children and also Wira Mangkubumi. Then there were more food waiters and some soldiers and Hulubalangs.
“Sit!” said Saylendra, the King's face looks sparkling, Sungsang Geni can guess that the Queen had just drank water in the ivory coconut that he brought.
“Arak?”
“No!” answer the young man. “This, I will just drink water.”
“Ah, you should try it once in a while! The doctor said my wife's life would not last long if the medicine was not taken. I almost gave up hope, we were all banged up with narrow minds. There are a lot of great people in this place, but no..., nothing works.”
“Until you finally bring the fruit, now the Queen is fast asleep. In noisy situations like this, he can even sleep soundly.” continued Windur Hati, daughter of king Saylendra.
Windur Hati apparently is still quite young, around the age of 20 years. Although he already had a son, but his face still looked radiant. Saylendra did decide to marry off her daughter sooner, hoping that the Swarnadwipa bloodline would be quick.
Meanwhile, Wira Mangkubumi may be Pramudhita's age. In the eyes of Sungsang Geni, the two of them looked harmonious, Wira Mangkubumi did not feel reluctant to feed his Wife in front of Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu.
The healer said that the effects of ivory coconut water will react for 2 days, as long as Ratu Rindang Sari will not be awake. However, healing can be faster, if the body of Rindang Sari is strong enough to withstand the effects.
When they were all busy eating, suddenly Wira Mangkubumi reprimanded Sungsang Geni who looked very worried. “Master, don't you like the food we serve?”
“True, why don't you look so excited.” Connect Windur Heart. “Our cook will bring other food, if there is one you want.”
“No, I have a very important piece of information. I hope you won't be surprised to hear it.”
