Sanggana Swordsman
110. Remembering the Wife Candidate
*Holy Blood Ring*
“Is this the foreign swordsman you mean, Kai’er?” asked Emperor Long Tsaw after approaching Joko Calm a few steps. The Emperor saw the model look and clothes Joko Calm was different on his own.
“True, Father Emperor. His name is Joko Calm from the southern tip across the ocean. He has high magic,” explained Princess Yuo Kai. Then she switched to introducing Su Mai, “This woman is named Su Mai, translator Swordsman Joko.”
Su Mai who understood that she was introduced, regained her respect with a slight demeaning for a moment of her body.
“Welcome to this great Country of Jang, Swordsman Joko!” emperor Long Tsaw smiled at Joko as he stretched out his arms.
“Translate!” princess Yuo Kai's orders to Su Mai.
“Welcome to this great Country of Jang, Swordsman Joko!” translation of Su Mai.
“Thank you, Your Majesty the King. Forgive me for coming in such an impolite way. I hope my presence in this country does not disturb the peace of Jang,” said Joko Calm also with friendly facial language.
Without being ruled again, Su Mai immediately translated for the emperor.
“Hahaha!” the Emperor Long Tsaw laughed at the translation.
“If the Swordsman Joko would help the land of Jang who is being attacked, I would not hesitate to give the highest award,”, said Emperor Long Tsaw.
Su Mai again translated the words of the Emperor.
Without anyone knowing, secretly Prince Han Tsun liked to look at Su Mai. In his heart he was amazed by the girl's language intelligence.
“For the good of many human beings, of course I am happy to help selflessly, except for food and bed,” said Joko.
“Hahaha!” laugh at all of them after hearing Su Mai translate Joko's sentence, including the Empress and the two concubines who were some distance behind the Emperor.
“Ayahanda, I'm sorry, Swordsman Joko has just traveled a long way and we after fighting in the south trench, I promised to take him then noon for defeating two criminals. So let us say goodbye to clean up and rest,” said Princess Yuo Kai.
“Oh, well,” said the Emperor as a form of understanding. Then he said to Head Eunuch Yo Gou, “Take Swordsman Joko Quiet to the rest area and make sure the best service for him!”
“Good, Your Highness,” said Eunuch Yo Gou.
“Allow me to beg yourself, Your Majesty Ayahanda, Mother,” said Princess Yuo Kai.
“Ananda also beg yourself, Your Highness Ayahanda, Mother,” said Prince Han Tsun too.
“Hamba beg yourself, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long!” said Bo Fei and Tan Ma who were familiar with the manners in the palace.
While Joko Calm and Su Mai only respect.
“Please!” emperor Long Tsaw.
The meeting broke up. Princess Yuo Kai will return to the Old Palace and Calm Joko is taken to the Green Pavilion, where the palace's special guests are placed.
As the meeting unfolded, Empress Fouwai and the two concubines approached their husband and emperor.
“I saw no difference in attitude towards Kai’er towards the swordsman,” Empress Fouwai told her husband.
“I rate the same, Brother,” Consort Ni told the Empress.
“Usually Kai’er is very cold to men, except to the Emperor. But this time, he could laugh and smile in response to the words of a man,” said Consort Yim too.
“It was 55 men who proposed to her, but not a single one got caught in her heart. Is it possible that he has some interest in the foreign swordsman?” the Emperor said with a question that the three women did not dare to answer.
“Kai’er really likes the magic, even everyone who proposes to him is always challenged to beat him,” said Empress Fouwai.
“If Pendekar Joko can be more powerful than Kai’er, then what kind of power?”
Again the three women did not dare to answer.
Meanwhile, Su Mai is ordered by Princess Yuo Kai to continue along with Joko.
Head Eunuch Yo Gou escorted Joko and Su Mai up to the beautiful, comfortable and spacious guest room in the Green Pavilion, fully furnished with two maids. However, Joko refused to provide the two maids.
Finally Head Eunuch Yo Gou gave a eunuch.
“Sit!” joko said to Su Mai.
“Thank you, Sir,” said Su Mai.
“Who are you, Nisanak?” ask Joko.
“Su Mai, don't approach me less than four steps,” message Joko.
“Good, Mr.”
“How can you master the language of my land far across the sea?” joko asked with a smile.
“Since I was a child I have been with my father on an adventure across the ocean. When we reached Tanah Jawi, my father married a Jawi woman and stayed seven years. Then we decided to go back north together,” said Su Mai.
“From your weapon indicates that you are also a martialist, Su Mai?” terka Joko refers to two curved blades tucked behind Su Mai's waist.
“Mr Joko is not wrong.”
“Do not call me Master, just call me my name, I think we are not far adrift,” said Joko.
“Good, Joko,” said Su Mai obediently who made Joko smile sweetly, which actually shook the heart of the beautiful woman.
“What's your name, Kasim?” joko asked the eunuch-clothed man who was standing not far behind her.
Su Mai immediately translated Joko's question to the eunuch.
“Lo Yoh, Sir,” replied the eunuch who was older than the two of them.
“Sit down, Lo Yoh. Do not stand still,” said Joko which was later translated by Su Mai.
“Thank you, Sir. But, indeed the duty of the servant stands,” said Lo Yoh which was later translated by Su Mai.
“Alright,” says Joko. He then spoke to Su Mai. “I came all the way to this country to find something and I have to find it as soon as.”
“What are you looking for, Joko?” ask Su Mai.
“Namely Holy Blood Gem. Have you heard of it?” ask Joko.
Su Mai was silent for a moment. He was trying to erase the memory in his brain. Then he replied, “Newly this time I heard it.”
“Means no hint at all,” Joko said to herself.
Joko was silent for a moment. Suddenly Joko's face was gently jolted, she remembered something.
“I forgot to ask Princess Yuo Kai about my future wife!” said Joko Calm who just woke up.
“Calon wife?” rephrase Su Mai.
“True. I should have come with two women. One of my future wife, and one of my best friends,” explained Joko then she woke up standing. “I have to go back to see Princess Yuo Kai.”
“Master! There's Princess Yuo Kai's waitress wants to meet!” exclaim the guard soldier outside the door.
Su Mai immediately translated the notice.
“Please enter!” sahut Joko, which was later translated by Su Mai.
So, the front door opened. Enter a beautiful woman in a servant uniform. The young lady was none other than Yi Liun, one of Princess Yuo Kai's two personal servants.
“Ah, you again, what is your name?” joko asked directly when he recognized Yi Liun who had tried to prevent Joko from going out of the Old Palace before going to the south trench.
“What's your name?” su Mai translated.
“Hamba Yi Liun, Swordsman Joko,” replied Yi Liun while making a salute.
“I want to meet your daughter,” said Joko who immediately translated.
“Mr Princess invites Swordsman Joko for lunch,” Yi Liun said.
Su Mai translate.
“Lunch? Good. I need to take a shower first,” said Joko who was later translated.
“Let me serve, Swordsman,” said Yi Liun.
“Do not do not!” joko exclaimed quickly after Su Mai interpreted Yi Liun's words.
Yi Liun and Su Mai only smiled seeing Joko's reaction. (BH)
