WAR AND THE LOVE OF TIME TRAVELERS
Episode 9 of the Women's Guard

After the victory over the Adiparna army. The Duke continued his duties as king of the fura island kingdom. Day by day the Duke was getting used to the atmosphere in this war era.

In a work room of the King, the Duke sat and looked confused.

"What am I doing here? is it just sitting here relaxed? it's like it's gonna be so boring." The Duke murmured in his heart.

Not long after, the Duke's personal guard came to give the task to the king.

"Begging the noble permission of the Duke, the servant came with a note containing a list of the names of all those in the palace, there were already registered all their names and duties" said the Duke's personal guard while giving a thick stack of paper.

"Haah?! So thick was the paper, actually how many people were inside this palace?!" Shouted the Duke while wiping the thick paper.

"Hmmm, what's your name? " Ask the Duke.

"Hamba Tobi the Majesty" the bodyguard replied in surprise.

"It's weird that the Duke forgot my name". said Tobi the Duke's guard in his heart.

"So what am I supposed to do with all these names, Tobi?" Ask the Duke while pointing at the thick paper.

Tobi also answered the question posed by the Duke.

"Your job is to check all the names and assign each one a task that suits his skill." Answer Tobi.

"Oohs.. Okay well, I'll check everything soon" said the Duke.

Only a few moments checking the thick paper, the Duke was bored with his duties.

"Actually, how many people are there in this palace? how not to end this sheet paper." complained the Duke with a lazy tone.

"Now that I am a King and a leader in this Palace, I cannot complain. Spirit, Ray Spirit !!" Said the Duke while encouraging himself.

After a long time, the Duke had finally completed his duties.

"Fwetish.. The end is done also check this thick book". Said the Duke while sighing.

And having finished examining the record, the Duke immediately called everyone in the palace to gather. The Duke explained to everyone who had gathered, that he had divided up the duties of everyone in the Palace of Fura Island.

"All right, there are changes to your duties. I just want you not to feel pressured and comfortable in this palace" the Duke explained.

"I have given your duty with all fairness and also that is suitable for you according to the abilities and skills possessed by each person in this Palace". Continuing the Duke's explanation.

The Duke immediately read out the duties of each of the residents of the Fura Island Palace. And after the Duke read out their respective duties, they all immediately left the meeting room and continued their respective duties.

"Tobi!! , wait a minute!" Hold Duke.

"Yes, your Majesty, can I help you?" Tanya Tobi who stopped facing the Duke.

"Look, hmmm.wouldn't teach me to ride hehe" the Duke asked Tobi in shame.

"Of course it is with pleasure that the servant is ready to master the Duke" Tobi replied.

"Do not be too formal as well as the times" the Duke joked while patting Tobi on the shoulder.

After that, the two of them immediately headed to the field to practice horse riding. The Duke with his spirit directly rode the horse trying to ride it. Many times the Duke fell from the horse he was riding. However, he was not discouraged and continued to carry on vigorously even though occasionally holding some parts of his body and grimacing in pain.

"Aduhh.. Sick, it was difficult to ride a horse hehe". Said the Duke as he continued his training.

Seen from a distance Andini was seen watching the Duke who was practicing horse riding. He was also amazed by the Duke who could not ride horses.

"What kind of king it is, riding a horse alone cannot. A king like him wants to conquer this country? It is a strange person, he is a very naive person" Andini said in his heart.

Not long after, there was one of the Duke's personal guards approaching Andini. He explained that the Duke was an unyielding person in any case.

"I'm sorry Princess Andini, what are you doing in this place?" Ask the Duke's personal bodyguard.

With a little surprise Andini answered the question of the Duke's personal guard.

"Hmmm.. I'm watching your King, isn't he a lousy man?" andini.

"Is such a King too naive to be able to rule this Palace and dream of conquering this country?, Is that possible?" Connect Andini.

"I'm sorry, actually the Duke is a very talented person behind his ridiculous behavior. After the war against King Geng-gis, we all began to believe that the Duke could conquer this country" answered the Duke's personal guard.

"Ooh.. Maybe you are right, somehow I who never cared about him, little by little I began to put my faith and hope in him. Doesn't that sound weird ?" andini.

"And we are ready to bet our lives for the Duke, he is the one who can lead us all wisely. Well, maybe that's all I can explain, now I beg you to continue the duty of the servant.

Andini continued to pay attention to the Duke and looked occasionally smiling to see the Duke fall from his horse.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

On the next day, the Duke met Andini and intended to take him for a walk on horseback.

"Hi Andini come with me yuk, we update" the Duke happily invited.

"Nge-date? What'sthat?" Ask Andini in a confused tone.

"Not much to ask, just follow yuk!" Said the Duke while pulling Andini's hand.

The two of them finally arrived on the field and the Duke immediately showed the horse. Without saying much, the Duke immediately carried Andini to ride the horse.

"Hey, what do you want to do, Duke?" Ask Andini.

"It's fast to go up" the Duke replied while helping Andini ride his horse.

After that, the two of them rode the horse at the same time. The Duke immediately ordered his horse to walk.

"Today I will take you around this village by piggybacking you on a hehe horse" said the Duke.

"What do you call nge-Date? Is it cool to go around the village just by piggybacking me on a horse? andini protested coldly.

"Have not protested much, today I guarantee you will have fun with all this" replied the Duke.

They also surrounded the village on horseback talking. Sometimes the Duke prays Andini by making horses run fast. And it seems that every once in a while the look on Andini's face is smiling happily. After riding with them immediately returned to the Palace of Fura Island. When he arrived at the Palace, Tobi was seen walking towards the Duke and Andini who had just descended from his horse.

"Reporteur Adipati, there's a female servant who wants to meet you" Tobi said.

"Women? Who her? and what would he want to see me for?" Adipati.

"Okay well I'll see him soon" continued the Duke.

In the meeting room there was a woman sitting waiting for the Duke's arrival. Looking at the Duke, the woman immediately bowed and said.

"Please, your highness the Duke, the servant is Yuni, the purpose of the arrival of the servant coming to this palace is to ask permission to be a servant of the daughter of Andini. The servant hopes that his Majesty will accept the servant as well as the guardian of the princess Andini". Obviously the woman while bowing her head.

"Hmmm.. The female bodyguard huh? Actually I really need it, because from now on there will probably be more and more battles to happen. So what are your abilities Yuni?" Ask the Duke to the woman named Yuni.

"Hamba was able to defend his highness the Duke." Yuni replied to the Duke.

Sriyin...

Suddenly there was the sound of a sword being plucked from its sheath.

"Prove that you are a martial arts expert" Tobi said as he thrust a sword at Yuni.

But Yuni swiftly avoided the sword that Tobi was holding in his direction. The Duke was surprised instead of playing and said "Hey. What are you doing Tobi!!, you can kill him". Shouted the Duke to Tobi.

"Crazy for people !! could die, son of a man if it hit". The Duke said in his heart.

Tobi immediately put his sword back in and said

"sorry your majesty I only want to intend to test this woman whether she is worthy to be the personal bodyguard of the Andini princess". Obviously tobi to the Duke.

"Hamba does not mind his majesty, as long as the servant can be received in this palace as a servant and bodyguard of Princess Andini." Yuni Speak to the Duke.

"Alright, it's quite clear that his Highness the Duke. The servant can already see the ability of this woman, her reflexes are very fast and her movements are also skillful which is noble Adiapati". Tobi to the Duke.

By looking at Tobi's ability and explanation of the Woman, the Duke finally accepted Yuni as a servant and personal bodyguard of Andini.

"I was very worried about your safety before, Andini, but now I feel a little more relieved by Yuni as your bodyguard" said the Duke, looking at Andini's face.

"Alright from now on Yuni is part of this Palace" the Duke told everyone in the meeting room.

"Now you are officially a servant and personal bodyguard of Princess Andini" the Duke told Yuni.

"I hope you can protect Princess Andini from all her self-harm, please take good care of princess Andini Ya Yuni" the Duke told Yuni.

After finishing with the Duke and Yuni meeting, they all rushed away leaving the meeting room and continued their respective duties.
