TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
040 - ARE YOU WATCHING ME?

"Sir, why don't you expose this place?" ilir.

"The player!.." The head guard shut his mouth tightly as Joyo's hand was raised sending a signal telling him to be quiet.

"From what I heard, the captives were suddenly released during the journey when for the slaves from outside the island the guard was very strict. Isn't it strange that this is just due to negligence? Or just because the bandits attacked? This is a blessed land!" fishing Lid.

"What do you mean I should turn myself in?"

"No sir. You just have to put it all on your enemies. Then the master became a hero for having guarded the blessed land," Ilir raised his head to look at Joyo. "Five years are gone. Yuni and her lover managed to escape three months ago. He could've complained on another land,"

Yuni was a slave who skillfully used makes the best clothes and food. With his existence, the guards very rarely tortured the slaves for being happy and full of his stomach. Some time later, her obedience leads Joyo to take Yuni to her residence. But while cleaning up at the lake, Yuni runs away with her lover who is a cell guard in disguise at Joyo's residence for a week.

"The woman managed to escape our grasp?!" angry Joyo has not received the report because he is busy working.

"May they die in the wilderness, sir. They must not know the direction because it is from another island," said the head of the guard.

"And they may live and flee to another blessed land! Our king is very stupid and cowardly because he grew up in a slave stable, but not in another country. Moreover, the Great Sage announced his students to the public, it means they are ready to plunge without the need to be accompanied again," said Ilir.

"Pupils, not disciples?" muttered the guard's head.

"Yes. At first he announced the appointment of a disciple from the Ekadanta family. Upon completion of his education, the Great Sage announced two of his students. Who knows if he has other hidden disciples,"

Joyo and her people fell silent. The words of the little boy are true. What if the Great Sage had many disciples and was already spying on the entire area?

"Sir, the idea of Ilir is quite useful" said the head guard after a moment of silence.

"I can also convince the slaves who know you to shut up" he added.

"Tell me your idea of avoiding the disciples of the Great Sage," Joyo propped her head up preparing to listen carefully.

"In my opinion-"

The speech of Ilir was cut off by the sound of the door being opened forcibly. They looked around together and staked out the man behind the flying dust.

The head guard took out a stall and pointed his horse at the person who forced his way in.

"Lord be calm, it's me" said the man, one of Joyo's bodyguards.

"Don't you hear not to disturb?!" angry Joyo.

"I heard. I hear. But there is a large army leading here, sir," said the bodyguard with a worried look.

Joyo stood up from her seat. "Is the foolish king finally smart?" his scorn was mixed with worry.

"Master, the flag is from another kingdom. That's a flag.." The bodyguard breathed "the flag of Maja Kingdom, Sang Saka Getih-Getah Samudra!"

"Ck," Joyo picked up her coat and hurried to put it on. "Bring quality slaves away. The one ahead of time,"

"Okay sir,"

"Where are you going?" Idaline held onto Joyo's shoulder preparing to open the door.

Joyo fell to her knees as the guard opened the door for her, holding her shoulder in pain. Idaline stared intently at Joyo, the ground around her cracked and the gripping air made everyone feel asphyxiated and fell to the ground.

"The "blessed land is the land that everyone must guard. A group of citizens must reduce the suffering of his brother. Sweetheart, cries kept coming out from the citizens who were holding back the hunger and agony tormented. Everyone in the know closes their eyes and ears, their mouth afraid to speak when some have a chance to meet," Idaline took out a small urn from her ring. "Today, the land of Pragota is no longer blessed,"

A single dot of green light that could be seen by each naked eye shot out through the roof. The extremely clear sky suddenly blackened, rumbling and strong winds came ravaging the serene harbor.

"You are so arrogant that you are gods! I am blessing this and that!" Joyo pointed her finger at Idaline.

"If we were gods, we wouldn't let you be arbitrary. We just gave and took what we had," Idaline pointed her index finger at Joyo's face still trying to hide under painful pressure. "Joyo Kolyo, your sin is greater than a negligent Pracara. Take responsibility for the children who are waiting,"

Joyo's forehead perforated back. His guards were trembling in fear. And Idaline stared coldly at the blood-soaked corpse.

"The Maja Kingdom will take care of you," Idaline passed by the guards and guards.

"Maja? Not Pragota?" muttered one of the guards.

Idaline stopped her steps hearing the muttering of the guards. "You think other royal knights can roam around easily?"

"Why ask me? Wait, means this kingdom has lost?" confused by the guard.

"(What's your name?)"

The guard smiled at Idaline's question. "(I am Heryawan, beautiful lady,)" Heryawan blinked his eyes.

"Already expected," Idaline smiled back at the walk. The soldier was the only one who was not asphyxiated even though his body had fallen.

"It turns out a lot of people came here, too," said Dina, appearing next to Idaline.

"Much?"

"More than one is a lot,"

"Where? Is there?"

Dina shakes. "Even years have passed. It has been decades or even hundreds of years. Maybe grandpa's been moved to a faraway place,"

"Tell me the place you want to go,"

"Forget it," Dina smiled. "If you are a match, we will meet again. Finding a grandfather is impossible. You'll come to Goa if you meet grandpa,"

"When I am very happy" said Idaline.

From a distance Djahan ran hastily towards the woman who had made him anxious for the past month. Joyo's men had already frozen the Djahan knights.

"Daline!" exclaim Djahan grabbed Idaline, taking her in a hug. Idaline's eyes widened because of the sudden treatment of Djahan.

Idaline closed her eyes and returned Djahan's embrace. "I'm here" he said gently rubbing Djahan's stiff back.

Djahan let go of his embrace and then turned the body of Idaline. Checking every inch of the body that looks shabby because of a disguise.

"I'm fine" said Idaline stopping Djahan.

"It's all my fault to let you come to Daha," Djahan lowered his head feeling guilty.

Idaline cupped the face of Djahan who did not want to see it. "It's not your fault. I forced you to go there,"

Djahan looked at Idaline's serious eyes, a smile etched into the faces of the two of them. Idaline removed her hand from Djahan's face, her ears reddened realizing she was approaching too intimately.

"Those who like each other, why don't they just stick together?" Dina appearing in the middle of them made Idaline misbehave.

"Your scarf's got blood. Let go I'll clean it up. Your pants too, "idaline's face flushed red realizing the mistake in the word selection. "I mean there's blood there, I mean" Idaline closed her profanity eyes with her palms.

"Pffts. Tense very bund," seduced Dina.

"It must have been exposed to blood while fighting," Djahan handed his shawl to Idaline. The girl rushed to the lake near the house of slavery. "Why did I give it up?" sesal Djahan brushed his hair back. After calming his heart, he walked after Idaline. He shouldn't have made the girl do the hard work.

"Oho~ patack is also tense," whispered Dina in Idaline's ear.

"Dina, your words are so ambiguous," Idaline's cheeks turned red again.

"My words are mediocre. Your mind alone is dirty~" Dina plays water in front of her. "What do you want to wash with? That much blood won't go away with water alone,"

Dina gave a loud applause watching the bottle come out of Idaline's hands. A flabby dough came out of the bottle and Idaline pressed it against the bloodstains and rubbed it gently.

"You're not being honest about your feelings even to yourself" Dina said of Idaline. The little sister's liking was obvious but it also seemed that Idaline kept denying it.

"I know how I feel about myself. Holding him is the best way. I'm going home" said Idaline.

"Aren't you going to regret letting this pass you by?" Dina put her foot in the water and stood in front of Idaline. "I taught you how to come here if you want,"

"She likes me because I'm an Idaline. This girl is so pretty that I'm uncomfortable with every trip out,"

"Stereotypical once," Dina in disbelief, her stiff cousin's friend had an insecure mind. "If that's what's bothering you, ask directly!"

"Djahan.." call Idaline.

"Yes," the watching Djahan from afar walked over to the call of his beloved.

"Wow you want to ask now?" Dina sat away, watching from afar. Unfortunately there are no snacks.

"Your clothes are done" Idaline gave Djahan a dry shawl.

"When the sun is ordinary. Dear strength,"

"..ugly,"

The bowed Djahan wearing a shawl, looked up at the Idaline murmur.

"If I'm ugly, do your beautiful poems still apply?"

"Truly tense," Dina watched closely.

"It seems like you misunderstood me because I kept repeating the pretty word," Djahan cupped Idaline's face wiping away the water dot that appeared at the end of her eyes. "I like everything about you, not just the face or beauty you think, even when your soul moves, I will recognize you. It's very uncomfortable to not hear from you in a day,"

"Soul moving?" Idaline's face paled. "Since when?" tanyanya let go.

"That time you-"

"Haha. So you've been watching me all this time? Those letters and your attention?!" accuse Idaline.

"No,"

"Hhhh!" Idaline stared in disbelief. "Have you come to arrest me?"

"IDaline relax. You will fall down," Djahan stared at Idaline's footsteps that were getting closer to the lake.

"You really came to catch me," Idaline smiled wryly and threw herself into the lake. Djahan catches Idaline's body and joins in. Ruru enters the lake water taking the body of the Idaline conch and taking it flying away.

"If I say something now, you won't believe it, will you?" Djahan broke the blue agate in his hand. "Great Father, the help you say, I want to use now,"

"Why is this so?" Dina flew flying after Idaline. Dina glanced at the pensive Idaline. Dina rolled her eyes as Idaline dropped into one of the rivers below them.

"At first one, now two are missing?" hayan angered the knights who had just returned from Pragota.

"Pardon us, Your Highness," said the knight who had gathered in front of the troops.

"Tell me clearly!" hayan's Letah.

The knight also told without reducing or adding, he told the story as seen and heard by his senses.

"Mr Mahapatih completed the document of the handover of the kingdom of Pragota by His Majesty Parcara, the current king," the knight who Djahan appointed as his representative handed over the documents to Hayan. He then retreated back to his place.

Hayan read carefully every line and word.

"A total of two hundred knights were left behind to protect the royal family and help the troubled society due to the bad weather that had not subsided. The remaining ones returned to ask for help. The blessing had already been drawn by the disciple of the Great Sage. Since they had already given up on the Maja Kingdom, they asked to perform the heaven and earth ceremony," explained the knight belonging to Hayan.

"Wise decision," Hayan rolled up the official sealed paper of the kingdom of Pragota. "That bird really is a garuda?" hayan asked alluding to the story that came out of the mouth of the squad leader.

"It's not wrong, Your Honor. Exactly the same as the one that came a few weeks ago," answered the knight remembering when the Great Sage came stirring and left just like that.

"You rest. The ceremony must be held immediately,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
