TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
019 - MARRIAGE SIMULATION (1)

"Because you've taught me a hard lesson I've learned all along, say if you want something."

Hayan did not think there was a pearl in the dirty puddle. Commoners who can only do dirty work turned out to be among those who are so brilliant.

His view of the world was completely different. Pearl is not only awake in a beautiful place, sometimes it targets into a dirty puddle.

Once in his grasp, he would store the pearl well.

"I don't want to learn manners." pinta Idaline quick. He never wasted the opportunities that came before him including food.

Not shameless and not lazy to make small talk. But if you really want to, why pretend?

Don't mix hunger and lies.

"Rejected." Hayan shook his head. "And now that you are my teacher, speak comfortably. Just use the word me-you, I-you feel far away."

"All right." Idaline nodded her head. Hayan's small request could not be greatly exaggerated.

Want to call by any name if soft and understandable is the best. Lu-gue will sound polite when said subtly.

"I'm going to learn manners, instead I want to learn martial arts instead of arts."

Hayan raised his eyebrows in wonder. It is not only from Sudewi's story that Idaline is the Goddess of Art in this archipelago, Idaline's face is very suitable and Idaline's hands look proficient even before she started studying.

"You don't want to learn art?" tanya Hayan made sure.

"That art is not my field. Better to count the tailed numbers." Idaline pointed at the scribbled paper.

Hayan thought for a moment. The talent that got nicknamed the goddess should he lose?

Once you enter the martial world, your hands are no longer soft, there will be muscles everywhere. Can't be a muscular goddess?

But he had promised, maybe this time Idaline will become the Goddess of War.

"Well, I'll tell the art teacher." agreed Hayan, he stared at the dim torches that time had passed. "The day is getting late. I'm back first."

"His Highness the Prince, can you please not interfere at night? People will be suspicious and strange-minded" Idaline said, helping Hayan clear the paper.

Actually Idaline does not care about the views of others, she just wants to rest and relax at night.

"Your speech is more suspicious."

Hayan turned out from Kedaton Sedap Malam on his horse back to Kedaton Kambang, where Hayan lived surrounded by forty percent of the water in the palace.

Idaline held out her middle finger. The girl stared at Hayan's departure in annoyance.

During the day he had to struggle with difficult teachers and at night had to deal with more difficult people.

While on holidays there are always meetings between the royal family and noble families that vary with each meeting.

Idaline took a breath. "When can I rest?"

"Your Majesty, I have prepared warm water."

"no need. I'm so sleepy."

Later if the body is fresh even so stay up late.

••••••••••••••••••••

Idaline woke up with a sticky body. Then everything was gone and he felt refreshed as his body entered the cold water that flowed straight from the spring.

Eating breakfast that has been prepared and then relaxing until noon is the plan because the schedule of the week, for five days in a row all about the art to welcome the birthday party Hayan is getting closer.

Early in the morning came the envoy of Djahan asking for Idaline afternoon time to teach him quick count and other math problems.

During his relationship with Djahan, the man was very understanding about who Idaline wanted and did not want to do without saying, so Idaline would forgive him for interrupting her leisure schedule.

"Say I'm willing." Idaline told the messenger.

He had not taken his face off from the pages of the book since the servant had entered and had now stepped out. The contents of the book in his hand were very ambiguous if not read to the end. You have to read all the sentences and then understand the meaning.

"I'm coming."

Idaline jumped in shock to see Hayan enter her lounge without permission. In one fell swoop he lowered his legs which he raised on the table, put the snack he had originally been on the stomach to the table, and put the book he had read to the table.

His quiet day was gone.

"Ckck." decak Hayan with a judgmental look at the behavior of Idaline.

As low as the slaves only understood the proper manner of sitting, these newly ascended commoners became nobles instead acting retarded.

"This pearl still needs rubbing."

"What do you do in the morning?"

"Because you don't want to teach me at night, I'm happy to come in the morning."

"But you've learned overnight, no, you're supposed to learn martial arts in the morning."

"Self can be learned at any time. While general knowledge is better in the morning to get into the brain faster." Hayan knocked on his own head. "And say I'm-you're not me-you anymore."

"Because you've been kind enough to get me out of art class, I can't say anything else."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Mahapatih is waiting in his study" reported the lady-in-waiting to get a message from Siji who picked up at the front.

"Ah right."

Because of Hayan's enthusiasm, Idaline cannot stop teaching him the things that Idaline knows. They had lunch with some light discussions.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have an appointment with Mahapatih this afternoon." In a hurry, Idaline cleaned up her things and collected Hayan's things so as not to miss.

"I've been bothering you all day." said Hayan offended.

Hayan had never been ignored like this, everyone must have canceled their promise to be with him. He looked at the smiling Idaline, telling her to quickly cancel the appointment with Mahapatih.

"No problem. The one who knows must tell. I'll go first." Idaline has to keep her promise. He darted away knowing that Hayan would not be left behind.

"He dares to leave me?!" angry Hayan. "Isn't he very smart? Why not be sensitive?" he peeked at Idaline's departure from the window.

While Idaline smiled as often as she saw the guest table in Djahan's room. It is available paper and brushes, do not forget a variety of snacks.

"Banana chips and chocolate ice right?" welcome Djahan to stand up from his desk.

"Indeed the most understanding of Mahapatih."

Idaline does not have to do greetings and does not need to receive greetings, other formal things also agree they do not need to do. Idaline immediately took a seat as soon as Djahan pointed at the chair with her hands and walked over.

"But you have to reduce it. The healer says your teeth will hurt." Djahan's message poured water.

Little smiling Idaline received water from Djahan's hand. "I will remember."

••••••••••••••••••••

Gluing both palms in front of the chest, Idaline stood upright by attaching the sole of her right foot to her left thigh and her right knee bent outward away from the body. For a few seconds he stayed in that position and then his legs changed.

Idaline does yoga in the room to maintain her fitness. Bejo does not allow Idaline to run in the yard because Idaline's legs are still weak to do heavy exercise and will also cause large leg muscles.

It had been three days that Hayan had not come to him and Djahan had not called him since last afternoon. His schedule was finally fulfilled.

"The time is not." muttered Idaline saw Bejo who was on duty outside had returned.

Bejo, a middle-aged woman of the same height as her male counterparts, stood looming before Idaline. His wide eyes narrowed at Idaline.

The one who was stared at with an awkward smile felt that he had been caught wet committing a great crime.

"I heard you left His Highness the Prince coldly in this residence" Bejo said paying attention to the room he had vacated in the middle. Tables, chairs, nightstands, and furniture that originally decorated the room, stacked on the right and left sides.

"What's? No, I have a promise to fulfill." Idaline cleaned her yoga carpet and took out a shawl covering her curves. He led Bejo out of the room.

Idaline moved her eyes telling the lady to return the furniture to its original place.

"That's just so disrespectful." Bejo sits in the living room receiving warm ginger that she and Idaline always drink together in the morning.

"Did he report?" This is why Idaline doesn't like children. They will say what they want no matter the circumstances or the situation.

"I heard from the ladies he sat waiting until the sun went down. While you go out leaving him."

"Auntie came faster and said she heard it from the lady??" Idaline's eyeballs twisted in disbelief.

"I told you, I have an appointment."

Idaline deliberately changed her speech to non-formal so that Bejo's focus shifted and was busy justifying it. He did not want this problem to get bigger and worse.

The servant and the servant are not deaf. If this news starts to come out, there will be parties who try to take advantage of the situation.

"Listen, Your Majesty. You must prioritize the queen family over everything, even if it has to cost you lives." Bejo holds Idaline's shoulder.

"Fragal."

Idaline moved her back releasing Bejo's hands. "Every promise must be fulfilled, otherwise I will feel very bad."

"You're not wrong. But prioritize–"

"Auntie!" cut Idaline. "It seems you are exhausted to discuss this obvious thing. Ijem, take aunt to her room."

"You've made a mistake. Copy the fifty-page manners book." reply Bejo did not miss the opportunity to improve the attitude of Idaline.

"Ah aunt, I've done something wrong." Idaline held Bejo's hand.

Writing at length is his weakness. At the beginning of the sentence the writing will be good but then the chicken claw that is on the paper. His hands will cramp because when writing he presses firmly every stationery.

That's why he always makes a summary.

"I'll apologize properly. Please don't do such cruel things." Idaline looked up to Bejo. His eyes were round and his lips were bent downwards.

Bejo felt glare with an Idaline expression. He took a long breath. "Raden Ajeng was right, I was so exhausted. Please apologize properly."

"Thank you bi." Idaline ran inside the room not wanting to hear any additional scolding.

Bejo shook his head, his heart feeling sad the girl as innocent as it was about to enter into the complicated palace intrigue.

"Are you going to be ice cold?"
