"Like a high-wisdom gesture from His Majesty the King, then abstain for a Jaga Saksena to retreat, Your Majesty the King."
"Haha!" King Basukamba laughed in satisfaction, so satisfied that the sound of his laughter was heard coming out of the room astonished the two palace-circular warriors who happened to pass by on patrol.
"The king of Basukamba tumben was so happy!" whispered a soldier.
"Hustt ...! Don't be so hard, you can slap us later!"
The two soldiers sped up their steps afraid the king would hear their whispers.
Inside the king's private room, after the king finished his laughter, Keep Saksena said calmly, saying,
"But dalem (saya_pen) asked the female slaves to remain freed, His Majesty the King. So the lack of a pitukon is sixty thousand pieces of gold!"
"It doesn't matter, but I need a guarantee that you'll definitely pay for it!" asserted King Basukamba said with great emphasis, clearly he did not want to keep Saksena later molested or even did not want to pay the rest of the pitukon.
"Dalem will not touch Princess Anesha Sari before the pitukon is paid off, Your Majesty the King."
"We have a deal!" King Basukamba extended his right hand to shake his hand.
Keep Saksena welcome.
"To His Majesty the King!"
The agreement was made, King Basukamba then set the day for the ceremony to tie the braid of husband and wife that is three full more.
Jaga Saksena also agreed, will be therapy on the condition of the marriage ceremony is not as usual but follow the procedures of Jaga Saksena.
"No problem. The ceremony can be closed and also useless, the important thing is that there is a massive party inviting all the people to tell them that you have married my daughter!"
In terms of ritual King Basukamba does not really care unless it is beneficial or at least useful for his own importance or the interests of his family.
"Thank You, Your Majesty. Then when will His Majesty be free to free the slaves?"
"Now if you want, but are you sure? Then how will they be able to support themselves after being liberated? Or how will they return to their respective villages? It all costs money, take care!"
"Astaghfirullahal'adhiiim ...."
Watch as if struck by lightning, then think down.
"You think about it carefully, take care of Saksena. I as a king who attaches great importance to the welfare of the people do not want them to become pious, peddling their bodies out there. Or they go home to the brand village but instead die on the way."
"Okay, Your Majesty the King. Please don't treat them as slaves, because Dalem won't be long."
"I can't promise you much about it, Take care of Saksena!"
A deliberate answer was given by King Basukamba to make the young man even more depressed. There is a satisfaction felt by Raka Basukamba when he saw Jaga Saksena lost to him.
***
Keep out of the private room of King Basukamba with a mind of fear. He blamed himself for not thinking long term of slave liberation.
Although many thoughts, Jaga Saksena still greet the courtiers and soldiers he has been captained.
When he arrived at the front room, Jaga Saksena was awaited by Officer Sadaji.
It turns out Sadaji decided to wait Keep out because this afternoon there is no task. Again, not necessarily tomorrow morning he can visit the residence Jaga Saksena.
"How's Den Take Care? Looks like Den Keep a little load?" sapa Sadaji could see Jaga Saksena's slightly forced smile.
"Are you able to accompany me to see the business opportunities in this kingdom, Officer Sadaji?"
"Den Jaga?"
Jaga Saksena briefly explained about the fifty young female slaves she was trying to free.
"King Basukamba is willing to free them all, on condition that I can take care of them after being released," said Jaga Saksena.
"I can't help much, Den Jaga. But if it only takes us to look around at the entrepreneurs and their businesses, Den Jaga has got the right people. Let's go ahead, Den Keep."
Sadaji and Jaga Saksena rushed out of the palace. Sadajiwa's first goal was to build bricks near the northern wall of the kingdom.
By Officer Sadajiwa Jaga Saksena was introduced to the business owner who is still a raden. Raden was very happy to get the visit of a Bledeg Blown Swordsman. So that answered openly lika the turn of his business.
Speaking for a long time, Jaga Saksena finally concluded that the business of making red bricks in addition to lethargic sales was also too heavy for women.
Keep Saksena and Officer Sadaji pampit then go to another business place, pounding rice into rice.
As when it comes to the brick business, the rice pounding entrepreneurs are very happy to receive the arrival of Jaga Saksena. He happily answered all the questions of Jaga Saksena without covering up a bit.
In the end, Jaga Saksena concluded, the rice-milling business is also not suitable because of the small salary of mashed rice services.
Jaga and Sadaji pamit. They both headed to the market but the market was quite quiet unlike usual due to yesterday's rainstorm.
"Look, the ladies are selling, Den Jaga."
Hearing Sadaijiwa calling the young man beside her with Den Jaga, the people in the market instantly stirred up.
When Jaga Saksena smiled kindly and greeted him, they immediately swarmed him including the shopkeepers.
There is not much they do, from just wanting to see the Bledeg Swordsman up close to offer themselves or offer their daughter.
"It turns out Bledeg's Swordsman is very handsome!" a middle-aged woman.
"Broker, I have a beautiful girl nan ayu. How about you become my daughter-in-law?!" A man in still clothes said in a slightly loud voice due to the noise of the crowd.
Not to mention Jaga Saksena responded, a fat-bodied thirty-something woman burst out and said spoiledly, saying,
"Blowers Bledeg, introduce me Lasmini. Do you have a wife yet? I am a widow, Pendekar. Will you make me a wife even if it's the second?"
And many more words from different people, Keep Saksena started to feel dizzy. At its peak, Jaga Saksena was finely bid farewell. Inviting Officer Sadajiwa to leave the market.
"Express, don't forget my offer ...!"
Already gone Jaga Saksena is still yelled at.
*
"How's Den Take Care? Is there a chance in the market?!" ask Officer Sadajiwa when they have been far enough from the market.
Smiling wryly Keep Saksena answering,
"Not Officer Sadajiwa. I do not know what to sell or sell if opening a business in the market. You better take me to another place of business."
"Well Den, don't worry there's still plenty of places. Let's go to the pottery craftsmen and other kitchen tools first, Den."
The two also flashed towards the place where Sadajiwa meant.
Unexpected by Jaga Saksena, it turned out that freeing slaves was not as easy as he thought.
'Will I find jobs or work for all of them? Duh Gusti ... Please this servant of yours ....'
