TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
081 - ACT AS YOU PLEASE

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

The coachman and the ladies fell silent on the spot. They were ordered to bring the Maharani back to the Kedaton Sedap Malam.

Doing the right hand order of the Emperor is the thing to do. Nevertheless, the Maharani commandment is something that should not be ignored.

They looked at Huna asking for answers.

"His Majesty the Maharaja told you to rest," said Huna.

He can't read Idaline's mind. Does this woman not love her life?

The gentle emperor could have acted cruelly if things did not go his way.

Everyone is still recording the events of Samha Mihir.

On the day the Emperor expelled him, on the night Samha Mihir took advantage of the absence of the Maharani.

That night..

Flashback: ON

Hayan was unable to return to the Capuri Palace. He would not have been able to possibly hold back from saving Idaline.

He wanted to do that, stinged wanting but anger still dominated in Hayan.

He was sure that his Empress did not reject Mahapatih's invitation.

Because of love, Idaline can do everything. Including breaking the boundaries of norms.

Hayan knows this best.

The sound of knocking on the door added to Hayan's bad mood. He wondered who would dare to disturb him at a time like this!

"Your Majesty the Maharaja, please excuse the intrusion. Servant Samha Mihir please let us meet. The servant has come to the Palace of Capuri and cannot find His Majesty Maharani. Servant still has some things to say."

Samha uttered a neat lie. He knew Idaline was being punished and he did not have to tire of coming to the Capuri Palace.

His faithful disciples told Samha that the Maharaja was in Bale' Ndamel .

No one dared to come closer. So it is certain that the Maharaja has not touched food since he found the Maharani in an inappropriate condition.

Dayang-dayang owned by Samha has reported this news to all corners of the Palace. They also compare the Maharani who never once worked with Samha Mihir who was very diligent in solving the problems and duties of a Maharani.

Plus Maharani made a big mistake.

So the lady-in-waiting and the ndalem no one prevented Samha from reaching Bale' Ndamel's door. Guards who knew Samha was a substitute while the Maharani let the woman knock on the door.

Hayan who was pondering stared at the door that was occasionally knocked down accompanied by a haunting call.

"Maharaja.. You okay?" asked Samha in a sensual tone.

Hayan gritted his teeth. It seems like the warning he had delivered did not deter Samha!

"Come in" said Hayan after dozens of times Samha repeated his words.

Samha entered happily. He put down some papers while explaining to Hayan and pointed at the sentence he explained.

In reality Samha just wanted to show her clothes that were slightly sagging down. A fairly short guest table makes the movement as if natural happened.

Samha was very ashamed of not getting any response from the Maharaja.

But Samha had prepared everything to deal with today.

Samha had already taken pains to get a position to replace the Maharani's duties, defeating thousands of female nobles who had enlisted. Of course not just to be temporary.

The woman secretly gathered supporters and got some loyal ones.

She is the daughter of Rakryan Demung, the Keraton's house minister.

Many people have their hopes for Samha. The time Samha spent near Hayan was more than Idaline.

This closeness will be a strong foundation beyond a status.

They believed Samha understood more about the Maharaja and could win his heart.

They bet at a high price.

"Excuse me, Your Honor," said Samha to the knock on Bale' Ndamel's door. He seemed to be in his own place.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten. Please eat asem vegetables made by slaves."

"Didn't you say the Maharani's work is very much and troublesome? You still have time to cook" Hayan said, staring at the vegetables at the table.

"This is because I heard Your Majesty has not eaten, so I made your favorite spicy asem vegetable. Servant makes it on the sidelines of the busyness of the servant. This is the last day of my work. Tomorrow I return to my servant's family."

During the academic Samha Mihir take care of food and necessities Hayan also when Hayan was still a Prince and residing in Kedaton Kambang.

Before entering academia and after graduating from academia, sometimes Samha helped her aunt who worked as the Chief Servant in Kedaton Kambang.

Unfortunately Samha could not follow Hayan to Kabalan because he failed a staffing test.

Then all the maids and servants were replaced when Hayan entered the Capuri Palace.

And Samha was no longer able to reach Hayan.

"Just servant. Please enjoy the meal of His Majesty." Samha tidied up the file she had just described. He placed it on top of a small cupboard located near the window.

Hayan researched the vegetables that Samha gave. Then devour.

Samha smiled slightly and counted down.

When the count ended Samha's body was lifted from behind.

"How dare you influence my subordinates!!" Hayan gripped Samha's nape. He did not pay attention because his mind was focused on his Empress.

Now everything becomes clear.

Not the vegetables given Samha are problematic, but the lighting candles in Bale' Ndamel are problematic!

The one who replaced him was a lady-in-waiting Bale' Ndamel.

So the influence of Samha has reached the most sacred place in Bhumi Maja.

Bale' Ndamel is supposed to be the place of the most loyal people!

Still clutching Samha's nape, Hayan dragged her into the Pramanem Hall, a silent hall that could barely be heard any sound other than the sound in the room.

Hayan threw Samha into the middle of the hall and lit a fire on the wall and a large symbol appeared on the ground.

"I'm still considering your family's services so it doesn't take your life. But if you act again, think no more of having a life!" Hayan said softly but hurt Samha's ears who were groaning in pain in the middle of the hall.

As the daughter of the housekeeper minister, Samha lived in the palace and knew the ins and outs of the palace.

Samha is very familiar with the uses of each place including the Pramanem Hall. The Pramanem Hall is used to punish people by making them disabled.

The first time Samha caught Hayan going to the Pramanem Hall with his teacher, Samha thought Hayan was being framed. It turned out that the teacher was framed for having disturbed Hayan's heart by addressing him as a fool.

Hayan was four years old. That little boy had already shown his cruel side. Samha was very afraid, but Hayan never rebuked his small mistakes and Samha became big-headed.

Samha thinks he's a special person.

After making sure Samha can't use her powers, Hayan returns to Bale' Ndamel and starts cleaning.

He killed every ladyboy and servant who betrayed him.

Flashback: OFF

The incident became a warning for every resident of the Palace, especially the maids and servants so as not to disturb the Emperor.

In the silence of the night the news spread to the mansions of the nobility. Then no more women dared to tempt the Emperor.

Despite such a big event, the Maharani even toyed with the heart of the Maharaja.

Didn't the Maharani also feel the cruelty of the Emperor in the warehouse of the Capuri Palace?

Dayang, waiter, and courtier also Huna who was there could not read the mind of Idaline.

Idaline is too acting as she pleases.
