TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
045 - SOOTHING?!

"Hey you heard my story?" irritated Widya returned the consciousness of Idaline who was staring at the memory three years ago.

"It is appropriate that you are in the village again" Idaline continued to listen to Widya's story even though her mind was divided. Idaline is very grateful to Djahan who taught her how to use her teliga, mouth, brain, and hands simultaneously. Usually Idaline can only focus on one thing.

"My cute sisters have entered academia. Mom is busy making jewelry and stepmom helps her. There's nothing I can do" Widya lamented back in the chair.

"There's no way your strict father would let you go this far" Idaline said.

Since Idaline declares Widya as her student and discovers that Asha, her concubine, is doing things that make things difficult for Widya as well as much slandering in front of her, Baga is unmitigated to punish Asha with his own hands.

After that Baga also gave education that was left behind but Widya was proficient in many things even to administrative problems. Baga gives Widya the authority to help her with her work.

"I followed her terms of going to the party and being nice" Widya explained about the reason Baga allowed her to go outside the house. Usually, his father gave a very strict escort and could not go to other areas.

Finally Baga offers Widya can travel anywhere as long as he follows the royal birthday party in the palace and follows it from the beginning to the end of the event. Baga knew Widya was very anti-party.

"Stupid," Idaline snapped Widya's head.

"Oh," Widya lamented rubbing her head.

"If you behave in accordance with the attitude of the previous Widya Sipta, bad rumors about you will disappear,"

"Good dong?" Widya raises her eyebrows feeling strange Idaline is not happy bad rumors she lost.

"After this will come your proposal," Idaline looked far into the courtyard, where a group dressed in uniform came led by an old woman with a cloak that had a carving of a colorless ashoka flower.

"Great lady, I'm the head lady of the house, who gave me the box that the big master sent from the parcel house" said the head lady in the room.

"Please enter" Widya said from inside the room.

The head of the lady-in-waiting put the unlocked box and walked back and out of the living room.

"Your mouth is so damned!" irked Widya obtained a stack of letters in the form of a proposal without any other type of letter.

"Haha. You fools can't think of that," Idaline smiled, all of those proposals are from the upper classes. Baga Sapta has sorted it out.

Without even bothering to read it, Widya burned the box with a small fireball she had learned so hard.

"He was very brave to express his feelings for you. But next is he serious? After all he was just a bodyguard," Idaline returned to the topic of Widya's curses being close to someone.

"Udel, did your brain hit? Forgot that there is no caste in the world that raised us?" Widya stared cynically at Idaline.

Idaline closed her eyes for a while and then reopened them. "If he's a knight maybe your father still accepts. He's just a bodyguard, let alone your personal bodyguard. Family reputation must come first,"

"I didn't think until there," Widya pensively. Although he decided to live in the world that is now, in fact Widya still views this world as the modern world. Though everything is different, from customs to existing laws.

"Well, there's no chance. Try persuading him to become a knight, "idaline suggested. She was also happy that Widya had found her heart. During her time in the modern world, Widya fought for herself because her father had two wives and there were four younger siblings to watch out for.

Initially his father's man was then fell after marrying siri secretly, maybe do'a a hurt wife had cheated for a year. But his two wives agreed to share together and accompany their husbands who were really falling down until there was no place to live.

Widya who had understood finally accepted the second wife but she was still uncomfortable to live with and decided to live with her grandparents on another island. Until his father is able to buy a house for each of his wives and is well off, Widya keeps working on her own because she has four young sisters.

"Now it's the age of war. Maybe after it's over,"

"It is precisely during this war that this can produce glorious achievements,"

"Youtdoor!!" bentak Widya's. "Your stiff heart is getting colder" said Widya. Tears fell on the corner of Widya's eyes.

Idaline looked at the ceiling. "It is precisely his capacity now would be considered an insult if he proposed to you. Insulting his mercenary nobles of life,"

Idaline rubbed Widya's back and gave her shoulder to lean on, she knew Widya had held back a lot. Facing sneaky women must have drained energy and feelings.

After being calm they went around the village looking for unique culinary and crafts, he so did not have a chance to talk afraid instead offending the chaotic feelings of Widya.

••••••••••••••••••••

"Wadaw, another proposal came for you," Idaline's goda saw the lady-in-waiting carrying a tray of letters, the lady-in-waiting head walking towards Idaline and Widya who were enjoying the morning breeze in the park.

"It's still dawn" Widya sipped her hot coffee. "That..seal keraton?" Widya looked at Idaline who was also staring at her.

"We salute the great lady, we greet His Highness Raden Ajeng. May you always be endowed with beauty and wisdom," said the head of the lady-in-waiting representing the ladies who also rested behind her.

"Get up,"

"This letter is for Raden Ajeng," said the head of the lady-in-waiting giving a tray. "Yesterday the great sir came to pick up the great lady. After being informed of your whereabouts that you were away with His Highness Raden Ajeng, he returned and in the early hours came a letter to His Highness Raden Ajeng from the palace, we hurried," obviously the head ladyboy on Idaline and Widya were staring suspiciously.

"Wid, we're going to the palace now" Idaline said after reading a short piece of paper.

"Huh? Why?" confused Widya, yesterday Idaline promised to accompany her for a full week.

"Suri's mother died,"

Replacing clothes with a more faded color, Widya wears a faded blue scarf and Idaline wears a gray outfit complete with a gray scarf.

The chariots, which were always in the deepest place of the stables of every family, lined up neatly in the palace courtyard. Idaline and Widya got off the angel bird because there was no such train in the village house.

"It is a great show-off at a time like this.eh I greet His Majesty Raden Ajeng," the bodyguard who guards the horse-drawn carriages.

"We greet His Majesty Raden Ajeng" said everyone who saw Idaline.

Idaline paid them no heed and hurried off to the ageng hall. Idaline escorted Widya to her family and then approached Hayan who looked stiff in front of the corpse.

"He was calm" whispered Idaline standing beside Hayan and rubbing her shoulders.

"Yes.." Hayan was stunned as his shoulder became the footstool of Idaline. The girl flew to catch someone who had fallen from the top floor, where the princesses were.

In one blink Idaline's eyes disappeared from the sight of the people present. Hayan followed Idaline towards the waiting room in the pavilion that was next to the ageng hall.

"Netarja?" Hayan clenched his hand to find his beloved sister unconscious on the bed. "Did you see the culprit?"

"It's not certain yet" replied Idaline who was sitting next to the bed.

"Just tell me your suspicions," Hayan growled in anger.

"There was only Sudewi standing on top," Idaline looked at Hayan hoping that Yuwaraja was not acting rashly.

"Indudewi is returning to study with uncle Kudamerta as his right hand," Hayan concluded his conjecture.

"Don't be in a hurry,"

"Teacher knows this is a dangerous plant that can take lives?!" angry Hayan raised his voice. "Sorry," he realized.

"You better calm the guests. Netarja will be fine" suggested Idaline. He was sure Hayan would not do recklessly in front of the guests also in front of the body of the queen mother.

After the door closed Idaline focused on removing toxins from Netarja's body. He opened the girl's mouth and moved his hand floating on the stomach until a thick yellow-brown liquid came out of Netarja's mouth.

"Say, why did you do it? Netarja!" exclaim Idaline knows Netarja did not faint.

"This is our first meeting and Ayunda wants to nag me?" Netarja stared coldly at Idaline. "It should be quiet, he added.

"Although cruel, but because the queen mother, you, Indudevi, and Sudewi become immune to some kind of deadly poison. And you want to destroy his final resting?" accuse Idaline. Netarja twisted her hand under the blanket.

"What do you understand?"

"You threw yourself down just as Mana Catra the yuwamentri I flashed past," Idaline's reply made Netarja unable to dwell.

"Your intelligence frightens me," Netarja cupped her face, wondering why the Great Sage accepted Idaline.

Although he knew Idaline was a person who easily learned quickly, he did not expect his sensitivity and intelligence was so great that it made him goosebumps.

And Idaline's self-confidence seems to know things are similar to her brother's. "Did you infect your brother while teaching him?"

"I'll teach you,"

"Eh?" Netarja took her hand off her face and threw a glance at Idaline.

"How to approach a man in a safe way,"

"No need. No need," refused Netarja did not want to be strange because Idaline smiled strangely.

"Think about it," Idaline gave Netarja strawberry juice. "I forgot, the poison was extracted in your body into dirt. I've already thrown it through your mouth" Idaline pulled the corner of her lips and disappeared behind the door.

His laughter was still heard in Netarja's ears. Conscious of Idaline speech, Netarja drank the juice with a single throat.

Muscle growls were seen on Idaline's head when she reached the hall, her sweet disciple was attaching the end of the keris to Sudewi's neck.

"Pacifying?! Calm the guests?!" Idaline rubbed her face, looked serious and then jumped upstairs.

"Ananda really did nothing" Sudewi refuted from his pale lips.

"Hayan, don't I always remind you to reply as done? No more and no less" Idaline pointed her hand at Sudewi's face. Sudewi felt that this would be more terrible than his brother did.

"Yeah!" shouts Sudewi and the people who watched the drama. Sudewi's body flew to the ceiling of the hall and then crashed quickly onto the floor. Sudewi's closed eyes peered, his nose almost touching the floor. Suddenly Sudewi's body was pulled back up.

"Have you? Come down," Idaline pulled Hayan down. Hayan felt his emotions had subsided, Hayan no longer paid attention to Sudewi who came down behind him.

"The Queen's Majesty, Her Royal Highness Bhre Tumapel, Her Royal Highness Lord Princess Paramarta, and Her Highness Raden Ajeng Falguni entered the room," shouted the bodyguards guarding the hall door.

"We greet the Queen" said Idaline, Sudewi and Hayan in front of the stairs.

"We are facing Her Majesty the Queen, may you always be endowed with wisdom" said the people present.

"Wakeup. We'll start the ceremony,"

Hayan walked forward to gather with the queen and Indudewi retreated to gather with Idaline and Sudewi.

"Thank you mbakyu" said Sudewi.

"When he was a child, everything got along" Idaline looked at Sudewi and closed her eyes and prayed.

After the ceremony, the wills of the queen mother were announced and then held a meal together. Every middle-level noble and lower-level noble tried to expand his connections because usually the afternoon had to return. While the sons of high-ranking nobles will stay to perform the do'a ceremony and mourning day for seven days in the palace.

"The concubine's palace has long been unused. All stay for seven days to pray for the queen mother" she said, staring at her food as it remained intact.

"My queen.." Dhara looked at the queen and clasped her hand.

"Enjoy your rest,"

Dhara held the queen's waist and led her out.

"Your Highness Raden Ajeng, how can you stop Yuwaraja?"

Idaline stared flatly hiding her uneasy feelings. Idaline continued to be followed by young men and women because Hayan went with Sudewi and Netarja to convene them while Indudevi was ordered to take care of flowers for the ceremony tomorrow.

"I heard that the students who graduated the last two years were very good at asceticism. What about you guys?" tanya Idaline diverted the conversation.

"We are always ready to go down to the battlefield, Your Majesty," said the green-tipped young man.

"But how is it? Custody alone is not enough," Idaline played a keris in her hand.

Everyone gasp. The young man checked his right waist. "A-you are so strong how can I realize," he said realizing his keris in the hands of Idaline.

Idaline gave the keris back to its owner. "Say, what's your name?"

"Hamba Wipoet the eldest son of Wiyasa Keling," replied Wipoet standing and bowing his body while putting his hand on the chest. Idaline nodded and told him to sit without a word.

"Nah Wipoet and the others," Idaline stared one by one at the crowd gathered in front of her. "Don't underestimate the opponent" he didn't. "So the weaker can defeat the stronger. Or find another way like Wengker,"

"Then they could not develop because they were shackled by living surrounded by cursed places. Can't even try anywhere else" said another.

"Your Highness.." doubtful lady in a tan.

"Tell me a name and a question," Idaline put on her smile. He felt like a teacher giving a seminar.

"Hamba Tari the fourth daughter of Thani Wanua Badam Aswattha," The woman stood up to do the same with Wipoet and continued her words, "The question of servants is whether they are now free from those fetters?" his tananya refers to the condition of the Wengker soldiers.

"Yet. If they're free, we've been gone a long time."

Dance nodded then sat back down. Idaline also continued the question and answer event that had been awaited by the young.
