"Are we not supposed to stop it?" ask a lady with a broom in her hand.

"Don't you see his cruel gaze? Garuda is the most difficult mythical animal to find. They are elite mythical creatures who rarely get along with humans. We can be eaten" said the lady next to him shuddering in horror.

"In the book it is written that the garuda that flies peacefully in the sky where humans live is the garuda belonging to Petapa Agung. Maybe there's something," explained the other lady.

"But wouldn't we be in trouble if Raden Ajeng's sealed coffin was pegged like that? Yuwaraja had just left last night and now the beautiful chest that had been taken care of for a month by himself would be broken. Ah no! His head is hollow! Die us!"

"What are you doing in front of the hall of tranquility?" ask Karuna.

"YES!" the ladies shouted, unaware of Karuna's arrival. The four maids who were cleaning the courtyard turned to look at the person who made their hearts almost come apart.

"Greetings. We salute the magistrate, "Rushing the ladies and bowing their heads saluted.

"Ah. We greet His Holiness Yuwaraja that His Majesty may always be given wisdom, "greet the ladies and gentlemen to see the beautiful thekleks that only the royal family has.

Hayan stared suspiciously at the four trembling ladies-in-waiting prostrating at his feet, let alone the many wooden powders flying in the entrance of the hall.

"Uhukis. Uhuk."

The familiar coughing sound in Hayan's ears distracted him, rushing he galloped towards the source of the sound. Hayan stuck out her hand and moved her hand to remove the powder that was blocking the view.

There was a half-broken lid on the floor and a pale-faced person sitting inside the chest.

"Rubber. Your pats are very sharp, my forehead can be sunken." annoyed Idaline was about to hold her blushing forehead. "It's a pain" complains Idaline rubbed her bleeding elbow for forcing open the sealed crate.

"Ruru, please~" whine Idaline. Despite his lazy face, the garuda still opened his beak and grabbed the hand of Idaline. Idaline's feet landed right on the ground. He smiled as he stretched his body.

"You didn't tell your master, did you?" ask Idaline. Garuda bird shook his head. "good. Clever child," Idaline rubbed Ruru's forehead then the bird flew quickly out of the hall of tranquility.

Hayan who looked awake because of the wind from the wings of the garuda. He blinked his eyes and walked into the hall of serenity. "Is.da.line?" he said he didn't believe.

"Please lead me. It feels so weak,"

Idaline smiled awkwardly, along the way the maids and servants did not cover her surprised look, their work also stopped when they saw Idaline who was carried by Hayan in bridal style.

Either amazed at their closeness or even surprised to see the corpse back alive.

Hayan enters the same Idaline place in Idaline's eyes since he left to go to the enemy base. Hayan's plan was to drop Idaline into a dressing chair in the room.

"Murid the Great Hermit is indeed extraordinary," said Hayan then went to fetch water while wiping his tears.

"Thank you," Idaline drank clumsily as she was stared deeply by Hayan without blinking. "The seal stone I gave to the Ag– ascetic"

Hayan pressed his index finger against Idaline's lips. "Don't think of anything else and take a break" she took off Idaline's accessories and laid Idaline on the bed.

••••••••••••••••••••

"Teacher, I brought you some food.." Hayan stopped in front of Idaline's room.

Idaline freezes. His hands were drying his hair and his legs stretched open the closet, his body wrapped in a towel. Seeing Hayan enter, he threw a towel in his hand. "OUT!" he shouted at Hayan who was trembling.

Hayan picked up the towel that landed on his face and then closed the door to Idaline's room. "Teacher..?" call him to make sure Idaline's okay. The girl had just risen from the dead and had already moved her body carelessly.

"Don't open!" idaline from the Room.

Hayan stood obediently in front of the door. "Why aren't you helping?" He stared hard at the lady standing far behind him.

The ladies-in-waiting sat at the tail end of their eyes, telling each other to represent each other to speak.

"I apologize Your Highness Yuwaraja. His Highness Raden Ajeng did not want to be served while bathing and changing clothes," said a lady-in-waiting before Hayan grew angry.

Everyone looked down drenched in sweat feeling the cold atsmofir from Hayan's back. They breathed a sigh of relief as Idaline opened the door slightly.

"Come in," Idaline peeked out of the doorway and found many people. "You alone" Idaline pointed at Hayan, she shook her hand to drive away the maids. Without a sound they all leave from the Idaline house.

"Serving His Majesty Raden Ajeng is fun but the handler is creepy," whispered one of the ladies and then hit his partner.

"Be careful if you don't want to be beheaded" said his colleague.

"In case of distress ask the help of the lady-in-waiting," Hayan placed the tray on the table and gave the glass to Idaline.

"I'm not in trouble, it's fun like that. And again I hate my body being held and seen by so many people," Idaline felt bitter just by looking at the contents of the glass in her hand. Stripping his nose with his thumb and forefinger, Idaline drank in one throat.

Hayan picked up the glass Idaline offered. He smiled little seeing the girl bitterness. "Teacher always makes surprises" He puts the glass into a tray and gives another glass and takes the bowl. "Open your mouth" The spoonful of porridge stopped in front of Idaline's mouth. The girl opened her mouth and ate the white porridge without any seasoning.

"Me alone" pinta Idaline after swallowing her first spoon.

"Here," Hayan thrust out a bowl of porridge but the tray that Hayan brought stole Idaline's attention.

Idaline took the letter she saw on the tray. He smiled recognizing the seal inscribed on the envelope and then opened it.

"Surely you remember,"

"Teacher?" call Hayan to give me a second spoon.

Idaline could not do one light work while focusing on one thing, she would not be able to be bothered even if her body was swayed. Hayan snorted and stuffed the porridge back into the bowl.

"Why?" hayan asked, seeing Idaline keep smiling and reading the letter repeatedly, watching her eyes move from top to bottom, and then repeated it several times.

After being satisfied to read, Idaline looked at Hayan who was expressionfully annoyed. "You know the Kingdom of Daha who last month surrendered?"

"Sure,"

"Djahan will visit there. I want to come,"

Hayan was getting upset. Hayan had no problem with the number two but Hayan was annoyed that the name mahapatih slid out of Idaline's mouth, like a special nickname. No one dared to mention the name mahapatih other than Idaline.

"can't. You are still weak" said Hayan, refusing Idaline's request.

"My body is strong. Yuwaraja please give me permission.yes?" Idaline put her hands together and placed them on her chin.

"No," said Hayan.

"I beg you," Idaline gave her best pleading face.

"Ti.dak," Hayan sternly turned his face away.

"I beg you," Idaline shook Hayan's arm.

"Ughs. Why would you want to go there?" tanya Hayan tries to ward off Idaline's cute attacks. "It turns out teachers can be cute, too,"

"Hm. there is a river that has a variety of beautiful rocks. Under the full moon will be reflected beautiful light, just as Djahan will get there when the night is full,"

Idaline just reasoned, there is no way he could say blatantly that he wanted to go to Daha to see firsthand a fairy tale that is still told by society until centuries later.

Idaline wanted to be a spectator who watched at close range. His eyes lit up imagining the story.

"Teachers can leave during the celebration party for the change of the Kingdom of Daha to Nagara after the mother inaugurated Bhumi in the next few months" said Hayan advocated the best time.

At that time Daha will certainly make a big party that is luxurious and beautiful, the streets will be decorated and the river mentioned Idaline will be a great pride Daha, they will not forget to introduce it. And security must be very tight so you can calmly visit.

Unlike the work visit that will be done mahapatih, everything will only focus on the safety of the queen's envoy.

"The Queen's mother was very focused on Wengker, either when finished taking Wukir Mahendra," grumbled Idaline.

The great war was not completed until five years running, sometimes the Maja Kingdom controlled half Wukir Mahendra. Sometimes the Wengker Kingdom retaliates until it controls the border.

"The great evil belittles the queen's decision," Hayan searches through Idaline's bead channeling fear into it. Idaline raised her eyebrows looking at Hayan's cute face glaring at her.

"Yes. Ja. I'll take the punishment, after returning from Daha," said Idaline, not changing her mind.

Hayan sighed. Idaline is stubborn. "I'll allow it,"

"yeah. Thanks,"

"The punishment is nothing to think about," said Hayan watching Idaline open the portal. The girl was very unafraid of death showing high skills to high-ranking people.

If Hayan was someone else, maybe Idaline would die from showing her exceptional skill.

"Then I'll see you," Idaline ran into the portal.

"Wait on! At least drink first," Hayan pulled his hand that was floating in the air. Picking his hand, the figure of a man in all black clothes appeared to gather respectfully beside Hayan. "Go to Daha. Report everything that happens, if necessary count his footsteps where he went,"

"Okay, Your Honor,"

"Are you very happy to go to Daha or to meet mahapatih?" hayan muttered with a roaring chest.

••••••••••••••••••••

"Don't you!"

The Djahan who was writing the file was surprised to see Idaline emerge from the portal. Rushing he ran to catch Idaline's waist. "It's dangerous!" enragedly.

Idaline rubbed Djahan's frowning forehead, the man sighed then lowered Idaline.

"I'm ready to go to Daha" Idaline said excitedly.

"Rest first. I still have work to do" Djahan dropped his body back into the chair and grabbed the file lying on the table.

"Want me help?" bargain Idaline.

"No need," Djahan continued, Idaline ate a snack. "You don't want to know the reason for going there?" tanya Djahan is still writing.

"Save his daughter, right?" Idaline wiped her hands and helped Djahan clear the file.

Djahan raised his eyebrows not understanding. "What do you mean?" ask her on Idaline who was putting things into the ring.

"I was very curious," Idaline smiled broadly not hearing Djahan's question. "Close your eyes" Idaline clasped Djahan's hand and walked into the portal.

"Your Majesty, how are we?" the knight was unable to enter the portal. The portal was closed as they ran towards it.

"Don't complain. Let's also set out," reprimanded the head of the team appointed by Djahan.

A bright light pierced his eyes, slowly Djahan opened his two eyes looking Idaline was washing her face in the river.

"You are so beautiful" Idaline murmured at the golden light from within the river. He rose as the shadow of Djahan approached him. "We walked against the current for two hours and will arrive at Daha,"

"Come," Djahan and Idaline went hand in hand until they reached the Kingdom of Daha.

Djahan many listen to idaline babble, always like that if they accidentally meet in an area. Djahan who does diplomacy or work and Idaline who is stopping by with Sapa Agung and Ekata Ekadanta.

It is a coincidence that every month there is only a day they meet, only when the last year they are busy and do not have time to meet because the place they visit is always different.

"Welcome to the Mahapatih and..," Kerta, the former king of Daha narrowed his eyes, trying to remember the man who stood beside the Mahapatih of the Maja Kingdom.

"Oh. Forgive me for not recognizing, welcome, Your Highness Raden Ajeng," he welcomed in view of Hayan's feast of maturity when he was still a king.

"No need to be confused. Stand strong" Idaline said to the people who rested in front of her.

"Thank you Your Majesty. Go ahead," Kerta invited Djahan and Idaline in.

Idaline ate her dishes without hesitation. Then Idaline went with Kerta's wife and concubine, talking and eating snacks. While Djahan went to check on the promised Daha soldiers when they surrendered themselves.

Idaline evaporated widely after the door closed. Talk with women is always about beauty and jewelry.

"Are they stupid or mocking me?" unfortunately, even though Idaline wears plain clothes without decoration with subordinate pants like men.

"Well, if they're smart, how can they eat cheap tricks? The legitimate wife's daughter stole the concubine's daughter's jewelry? Haha,"

Idaline stopped her laughter considering that she was busy helping Hayan even though he had died and twice opened the portal. Idaline is prepared to do a tapaan to restore her strength that is depleted, can be severe if not done as soon as possible, she will be disabled and will no longer be able to use tapanan.

Days have changed as Idaline opens her eyes from hermitage. Idaline prepares with passion to meet the main cast. Because it came suddenly, the new father of the protagonist and antagonist he found.

The maids in charge of serving Idaline stood guard outside were instructed not to disturb her until Idaline called them.

As the sun rose, one of the ladies tried to bravely knock on the door of the Idaline room. Idaline opened the door from where she was sitting.

"Your Majesty, all the members have been waiting in the dining room" said the lady-in-waiting as the door opened with Idaline's sign allowing her to enter.

"Show me the way,"

"Ayahanda, we're never late for breakfast. The master may have gone to the training ground" lamented Dewi Galuh, Kerta's second daughter from a concubine.

"You trust a princess who doesn't know such manners more than your gentle daughter?!" Idaline did not hide her upset face.

"Yang–" The bodyguard guarding the door stopped her speech when Idaline raised her hand. He lowered his head in fear of feeling an aura of resentment emanating from Idaline.

"Welcome Your Highness Raden Ajeng.." awkward Kerta.

"When I can have my own breakfast in the room it becomes troublesome" Idaline said.

"No. No. gabe. No hassle. Waiter, quickly serve the best dish," Kerta stared at the ladies and waiters to quickly bring the food.

"Mr Mahapatih entered the room," said the bodyguard seeing the arrival of Djahan.

Djahan sat next to Idaline and ate quietly. Those who focus on eating do not listen to Kerta's words make him and his family dizzy seven circumference.

"Your highness, I beg your forgiveness if there is anything that is not pleasing to your heart" Kerta and his wife asked for time to speak seriously to Idaline and Djahan.

Idaline smiled looking at the shadow in front of the window. "The food was so good it was just focused on him" he said. "Perhaps because of the trade route, many people came from various regions so the food was made to adjust the tongue. It doesn't feel inferior to Trowu" he said in his heart as he chewed pastries.

"Hamba was happy to hear it," Kerta looked at his wife, the woman stroked her hand while nodding and smiling soothingly.

"Say," said Idaline greget to Kerta, who opened and kept her mouth shut repeatedly.

"Hamba is very grateful to Mr. Mahapatih who received this small territory,"

"His Majesty the Queen allows," interrupted Djahan.

"Hamba is very grateful that Her Majesty the Queen allows it" Kerta said.

"He was always wise" said Kerta's wife.

"Hamba begged one more favor from you to find the servant's daughter who was lost in the city," Pinta Kerta hesitantly pleaded.

After all, he was only a subordinate now, too much for the subordinates to ask for help directly.

Should have gone through all the procedures. But Kerta doesn't care, her daughter has gone missing and Kerta can't wait.

Djahan glanced at Idaline, though, kerta's request was exactly as Idaline said when Djahan was only assigned to take the troops of the Kingdom of Daha and train them before entering the palace and then replace new soldiers in the Daha area to avoid things that are not desirable.

"My squad until last night. After training together, we leave the task of finding your daughter to them," Djahan replied should show kindness to his new partner. Actually Djahan does not like people who take advantage of the situation, even though he was there.

"Thank you very much sir" Kerta and his wife gathered beside Djahan, and their daughter, who disappeared a dozen weeks ago, was found.

"Now that you have joined the Maja Kingdom, do not hesitate to say difficulties,"
