Sanggana Swordsman
118. Prince Han Tsun's Love Plans
*Holy Blood Ring*
“Your Highness Prince Han Tsun arrives!” shouted the Green Pavilion's door guard warrior.
Just now Joko laid her body on a soft mattress to pamper herself for a moment. Although he did not understand the meaning of the guard soldiers' screams outside, but it forced him to go back.
While Su Mai who was reading a book on a chair, immediately put her book on the table and got up to stand up anyway.
From the outside stepped in Tutsi Prince Han Tsun who was escorted by Tan Ma. Prince Han Tsun was dressed in pure white and Tan Ma was dressed in blue. Prince Han Tsun carried a red fan slip and Tan Ma carried a nice sword sheath.
“Sincerely servant, Your Highness the Prince!” said Su Mai, the first person to greet the arrival of the prince.
Prince Han Tsun's face immediately flashed with a wide smile when he saw the beautiful face of Su Mai who in half a day disturbed his mind.
“Honorku, Prince,” said Joko who respects enough in a position a bit far from Su Mai. Behind him was the eunuch Lo Yoh who was saluting on his knees.
“Rise!” prince Han Tsun.
Joko, Su Mai and Lo Yoh stood up straight again.
“What is it that the Prince troubles himself coming to see me?” ask Joko.
Su Mai without being ordered again immediately translated the words of Joko Calm.
“Look, Miss Su Mai. Uh, I mean, Swordsman Joko,” said the prince somewhat misfocused. From looking at Su Mai, so looking at Joko. “I want to take you for a drink and a walk in the Capital.”
Su Mai translated the words of the prince. When Su Mai spoke, Prince Han Tsun was so concerned about staring at Su Mai's face. Even the portion of staring at the face of the beautiful girl was more than looking at the beautiful face of Joko Calm.
Joko Tenang began to catch the faint gelagat of the prince. Su Mai soon realized that Prince Han Tsun's gaze was more on him, the duration of the view was unnatural.
“Looks like the Prince put his heart to Miss Su Mai,” terka Joko Calm.
Joko's words made Su Mai a little lazy. While Prince Han Tsun was still smiling.
Su Mai did not immediately translate Joko's words. He doubted.
“Why not translate?” ask Prince Han Tsun.
“Translate, Miss Su Mai!” joko orders Calm down while smiling sweetly to Prince Han Tsun.
“Ee... said Swordsman Joko, it seems like His Highness the Prince is putting his heart on me,” Su Mai said in a tone containing worry.
Prince Han Tsun heard the translation. He immediately looked fixedly at Joko Calm who was just smiling.
“Ah, unlike that,” said Prince Han Tsun somewhat misbehaved. Then he said quickly that closed with forced laughter, “Pendekar Joko has misunderstood. Hahaha!”
Su Mai translated honestly.
“Ya, like that!” exclaiming Prince Su Mai pointed out after Su Mai finished translating her words.
While behind, the bodyguard Tan Ma smiled seeing his master misbehaving.
“It's okay if my guess is wrong. Even if it's true, I'm not even a bit concerned,” said Joko.
With a heavy heart, Su Mai also translated the words of Joko which then made Prince Han Tsun laugh, without clear meaning.
“Ah, forget. Do not be affected by the guess of Swordsman Joko,” Prince Han Tsun specifically told Su Mai.
Su Mai did not comment other than just smilingly nodding obediently.
“Back to my invitation, Swordsman Joko.” Prince Han Tsun turned back to Joko Calm. “How, are Swordsmen willing to join?”
Su Mai returned to translate.
Prince Han Tsun then turned around and stepped outside first which was escorted by Tan Ma. Next Joko Calm accompanied the prince. Another Su Mai, the beautiful girl walked four steps behind Joko, following the protocol of the swordsman. While eunuch Lo Yoh did not come.
While walking in the corridor of the palace, Prince Han Tsun suddenly stopped because he did not see the whereabouts of Su Mai. When he looked back, he saw the whereabouts of the woman he was expecting.
“Why is Miss Su so far behind?” ask Prince Han Tsun.
“That's a condition from Pendekar Joko,” replied Su Mai.
“Tell him that I asked you to walk close behind like Tan Ma!” prince Han Tsun's.
“Master, His Royal Highness the Prince requested that I be allowed to walk closer behind,” Su Mai told Joko Calm.
“Tell him, if the Prince wants to walk close to you, I better go back to the rest. If you want to walk with me, then let you walk in such a position. And tell him, I can't be approached by women,” Joko said.
So Su Mai conveyed everything that Joko said to Prince Han Tsun.
“Oh,” sigh Prince Han Tsun. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking. Then he finally said, “Alright. Let's go, Joko.”
Without the need to be translated, Joko understood the intention of Prince Han Tsun who allowed to continue his steps. With a smile, Joko continued her steps to accompany Prince Han Tsun. While Su Mai remained in her position, walking within a measurable distance of Joko Calm's position.
“Tsun’er!” greet a woman suddenly from the side, right beside Joko who was walking.
How surprised Joko Calm. He reflexively jumped to the side, even passing over the prince's head. Joko avoids the existence of Empress Fouwai who appears suddenly from behind the wall along with her eleven servants who line up behind her.
At that time, Prince Han Tsun's entourage passed through the junction of the corridor. On the left side is the wall of the building. The arrival of Empress Fouwai's entourage was only heard steps without being seen behind the wall. So, when the two groups met at the junction of the corridor, the position of the Empress and her servants, was less than three steps away from the position of Joko.
Joko Calm's Takakah surprised Empress Fouwai and Prince Han Tsun.
“Supply you, Joko! What are you doing in front of the Empress!” prince Han Tsun to Joko.
Joko Calm did not understand Prince Han Tsun's words, but he suspected that the handsome young man was angry with him. Therefore, Joko looked at Su Mai who had kneeled in honor with Tan Ma.
“Why is the Prince angry with me?” reply Joko to Prince Han Tsun, without waiting for Su Mai.
The two young men did not understand each other.
“Nona Su, please translate the words Joko!” prince Han Tsun's.
“Wake!” empress Fouwai's Order.
Su Mai and Tan Ma immediately got up.
“Translate, Miss Su!” empress Fouwai's orders.
“Decutor Joko asked, why is His Highness the Prince angry with him,” Su Mai said.
“Because she was being presumptuous in front of Her Majesty the Empress!” replied Prince Han Tsun.
Su Mai again translated Prince Han Tsun's words to Joko Calm.
“I'm sorry, Your Highness the Empress,” said Joko Calmly while paying her due respect to the Empress from the outer side of the corridor. “I don't mean to be presumptuous. I'm just surprised. Didn't I explain to the Prince, I can't be approached by women.”
Su Mai then translated the pretext of Joko Calm.
“But it's not like that how you avoid Empress Mother,” said Prince Han Tsun, pitched still angry even though his intonation has decreased.
“Already, already! I think Pendekar Joko does have a problem if it is close to women. No question,” said Empress Fouwai tried wisely.
From the opposite direction to the journey of Prince Han Tsun's entourage, walked the female entourage led by Princess Yuo Kai. The princess walked in escorted by Bo Fei, Mai Cui, Yi Liun, and six Red Goose Guards. (BH)
