TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
080 - PUNISHMENT

"What if, you really did a vile thing!"

Hayan massaged the base of his nose. He did not expect that the person who always had good tactics was now ruining everything just because of feelings.

Punishment is impossible to avoid or people will view Bhumi Maja law as a flawed law.

While the most appropriate punishment for crimes committed by Djahan is the death penalty.

Hayan is not happy with Djahan in the scope of romance. But beyond that Djahan is a capable and loyal person.

It never crossed Hayan's mind to kill Djahan when it was the best way to separate Djahan and Idaline.

Djahan is an extraordinary Mahapatih. Hayan could not ignore this.

But the problem now, Sapta Prabu who proposed marriage with Putri Citra Official. They will not let this happen just like that.

And again it is unfortunate that a beautiful woman who has talent in the art of dying without leaving the work for Bhumi Maja.

Hayan likes the arts the most.

Maybe that's why he wasn't good at the theory that teachers taught him.

"I let him be in his position because he likes it. If anything gets in the way I won't let it."

Indra did not expect now that his teacher was so heartless. His teacher had always been a good person, but his teacher had never done anything crazy for someone.

It seems like a long time on the battlefield made Indra miss a lot of things.

While Hayan gripped the pen in his hand, if he did not remember the pen that gave him was Idaline, Hayan would probably break it for not being able to bear listening to sentimental explanations.

It was as if Djahan was the one who paid the most attention to Idaline!

"And this is to unite the islands. Your mission is one step ahead, do you mind?" added Djahan looked flat at the man sitting behind his chair.

He did not care about the punishment that would happen, the important thing was that there was no one to bother his lover.

"Don't you think they're going to strike back? Most of our troops are still in Suwarna!"

Although Bhumi Maja's forces are no longer in doubt, they are still mostly recovering in newly conquered areas.

There is still a lot to take care of after dropping an area.

Such as replacing government employees, convincing the local people, and changing the laws that are contrary.

None of this can happen in a month or two.

Not to mention the great rebellion was likely.

Bhumi Maja also has to make sure everything works well, lest they ally and strike back.

From the wide open window Hayan saw a crowd of people coming to Bale' Ndamel. He recognized the flashy clothes that one wore that became the center of the entourage.

Hayan stood up and was about to come out to greet him but the man had already arrived first.

"My heart, why come here?"

Hayan's worried! This woman seemed to have forgotten being pregnant, this woman walked in a hurry and ran a little.

Women in general will not dare to walk with wide footsteps.

They are graceful and gentle.

Very different from Idaline who does not care about all that.

"I want to give you information." Idaline gave the scroll and placed it onto Hayan's table.

Indra was the most shocked person there.

He didn't care much about the top-ranked gossip circulating. The news about the identity of the second disciple of the Great Sage was not too widely discussed.

So he did not know that Idaline was a Maharani.

He only knew the Empress was the Great Sage's second disciple and everyone was praising her.

Praise can be bought, but it turns out that praise is right from the source.

Indra thought those compliments were more worthy of being pinned on Idaline and it turned out to be really the Idaline that was being praised!

The brain is frozen but the heart feels hot.

Two opposing elements make Indra silent a thousand languages when Indra should have testified also to his defense of his delay in arriving at Bubat Field.

"There was a rebellion and reportedly the Kingdom of Jalu prepared to attack the Kingdom of Galuh?" asked Hayan after reading the paper that Idaline had given her.

"Yes. As it says."

Idaline sent Siji to monitor the situation there after the war ended.

His cousin forgot all about kingdoms even though his cousin studied history, even since elementary school his cousin has liked history.

But with the intelligence in the new life, Siji managed to get information in just three days and send information on Idaline directly through the portal.

Though the use of portals is not good for pregnant women. Even if you send a piece of paper.

"We don't need to take advantage now. Better to conquer Nagara Cape. There everything uses magic, we can fight physically" Idaline proposes.

Three men there tried to focus on listening but their minds were divided by everything else.

Indra who still could not master his surprise, Djahan who kept thinking about Candra's words, and Hayan who was holding back his frustration.

"Maybe it will occur to the Ekadanta family that deserves to be sent. But the Bhayangkara who once learned magic was enough to fight back with strong canuragan and physical protection." Idaline looked into Hayan's eyes trying to convince him.

"I get. My wish, rest."

Hayan was very upset.

This woman was told to rest and even think of something very heavy.

The proposal given by Idaline must pass a long research stage and drain the brain to arrive at the right conclusion.

Idaline must be day and night thinking of a way out for Djahan.

"Have the news of pregnancy happened right on the day of arrival!"

Hayan did not expect the happy news to be reported to protect Djahan.

"No. I'll listen to your discussion." Idaline took a seat in the chair, actually from earlier her stomach was a little cramp but no one cared about her.

Everyone is busy with their own thoughts.

"Saranku you attacked who was on the seafront first. As it got deeper into the island, the forest grew busier and the magic power of its inhabitants grew stronger," added Idaline rubbing her uncomfortable stomach.

The three people pay attention to every move of Idaline, especially Hayan who then remembered Ra Konco's message that Idaline must rest, lest there be thoughts that burden.

Hayan rubbed his face in a huff.

Punishing Mahapatih is the duty of the Maharaja but if Hayan did, Idaline would have thought.

And the news given by Idaline actually alleviates Djahan's mistakes.

Hayan stared fiercely at Djahan. "What about the bodies of the higher-ups of Galuh Kingdom?" tanyakanya.

"I have sent the body of Prabu Lingga Buana and his family and officials and his family to the Kingdom of Galuh. Loro, Telu, and Papat are taking them," said Djahan.

As Candra said, Hayan spent time with Idaline for days. As a result Djahan ordered his own men to bring the bodies of the people of the Kingdom of Galuh.

Indra and his troops did not want to get involved because what Djahan did was a big crime.

And if Rangga is involved, everyone will speculate this event was planned Bhumi Maja.

They will also question the quality of the Bhumi Maja Knights

"Whoever disregards my orders, your punishment is to be confined to a detention house for a whole month. Meditate on your mistakes," break up Hayan.

Djahan stared briefly at Idaline before leaving with the guards.

"Rakryan fellenggung, stop your vacation and start working again" Hayan told Indra.

Punishment for Djahan will have a big impact on his work. He was forced to send Indra back even though Hayan had promised a long vacation and Indra had not finished his family business.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Indra lowered his head while walking backwards like the other soldiers. He steals a glance at Idaline before closing Bale's door to Ndamel.

"I will also be back" Idaline said after Indra and Djahan left.

"Huna, between the Empresses."

Hayan stood up to see Idaline enter the train without any intention of getting out of the room and helping Idaline.

Hayan's heart was very hot knowing his wife was very attentive to the fate of Djahan without thinking about their baby.

Ra Konco has advised not a single thought should burden Idaline.

It seems Djahan is very special in the eyes of Idaline to not think about the words of Ra Konco.

Hayan and Idaline will have a baby but Idaline still continues to look at Djahan.

"You should rest and not think about it" Hayan murmured.

"Go to the detention house," Idaline orders in the train.
