Sanggana Swordsman
Kersak 13: The Love of Tirana
*Small Sanggana Kingdom (Silver)*
After being bathed by Empress Tirana, Ginari now looks very beautiful. He sat with a face without the slightest expression. His gaze was straight but empty, as if without the light of a life spirit. Both of his delicate hands drooped weakly on his lap. Currently he was wearing light green clothes embellished in beautiful white with dragonflies and flowers.
Nevertheless, Empress Tirana patiently and painstakingly took care of everything to care for Ginari. A smile always expands on the lips of the Empress to Ginari.
“If you have a bath like this, Ginari looks very beautiful like an angel of love, fresh like a red tomato, fragrant like a rose,” said Empress Tirana who knelt in front of Ginari while applying red lipstick. “I'm sure, if Kakang Prabu sees your appearance, Ginari, Kakang Prabu would immediately want to marry you. Uh, but first, Ginari should be able to smile first.”
All the words of Empress Tirana just went into the hearing of Ginari and got stuck in the head. There was no response or movement in Ginari's face. His face was really stiff. His pupils were completely calm, there was not the slightest movement.
After Empress Tirana perfected the makeup on Ginari's face, then the beautiful face that has a high charm to force eyes lingering staring fixed rare beauty. Ginari has an appeal to clear eyes and sensual lips that are not thick and also not thin. The spread of red lipstick makes it really able to make the bullion bend the heart, just by showing the beauty of the face.
Empress Tirana then put her lipstick on the tray that was on the fist of the lady. There were two ladies in the spacious room. Empress Tirana took out a small knife the size of her index finger.
“Now I cut off your fingernails yes, let Ginari's fingers also match her beauty with your face,” said Empress Tirana while smiling.
He then grabbed Ginari's right hand. With a small knife, the Guardian Empress started cutting Ginari's nails.
“Good nails are nails that are adequately maintained. The part of the nail that grows more is the ugliness. So bad nails should be cut or removed. Every evil in man must be eliminated,” said Empress Tirana.
One by one the fingernails of Ginari's hands were trimmed. After the ten fingers were cut and finely thought, the nail was dyed a light green color, adjusting the color of the clothes.
Empress Tirana just smiled looking at her own work.
“Waw is beautiful, matching the color of your clothes, Ginari,” said Empress Tirana, then she looked at the beautiful face of the woman who had died while smiling.
Empress Tirana then blew the nails of Ginari's fingers to dry the paint quickly.
He then got up and turned to the back of Ginari. Dayang immediately approached the tray on which there is a comb and a number of hair jewelry. Empress Tirana then began combing the girl's long hair.
“Your Majesty the Queen arrives!”
Suddenly there was the scream of the room's door guard soldier.
Not long after that notice, from the door of the room stepped gracefully the beautiful figure of Queen Getara Love who was escorted by six maids and two soldiers.
Seeing the arrival of Queen Getara Cinta, Empress Tirana immediately stepped in welcome.
“My respect, Her Majesty The Queen!” empress Tirana said while humbling in respect. Two of the ladies got down on their knees.
“Rise,” said Ratu Getara Cinta smiling.
The queen then walked over to Ginari who sat still like a statue. Queen Getara Cinta gave a cool smile of her hospitality to Ginari, even though the girl did not look at her.
“Waaah, you are so beautiful Ginari. Kakang Prabu will definitely marry you soon if you are happy,” praise Queen Getara Cinta.
The Queen then went down on her knees in front of Ginari. He placed both hands on Ginari's knees. He looked at Ginari's face without blinking.
“Ginari,” says Queen Getara Love is soft, as her fingers pat both the knees of the girl in front of her to give a stirring touch to the feelings of Ginari who died. “Remember Kakang Joko as your future husband. He loves you very much and is waiting for you to come. Do you remember Kakang Joko?”
Ginari who was asked just fell silent not reacting. Her pair of beautiful eyes continued to look far ahead without even blinking a single moment, as if about to pierce through the stone wall of the room.
“You will definitely remember it later,” said Ratu Getara Cinta while smiling to Ginari.
The queen stood up and smiled at Tirana.
“Usaha this is more difficult than facing Ginari with her Heaven Spirit science. You have to be more patient, Tirana,” said Ratu Getara Cinta.
“Iya, Her Majesty The Queen. I will try to continue to be patient until there is good development in Ginari,” said Tirana. He then switched the topic of conversation, “How about the development at the border?”
“Eternal Night Forest Dwellers? What does Her Majesty the Queen mean by opening the affair how?” ask Tirana.
“Kusuma Dewi has given protection to three villagers across the lake who are being hunted by the inhabitants of the Eternal Night Forest. The provision of protection makes us have opened business with the residents of the Eternal Night Forest,” explained Queen Getara Cinta who has received reports about the results in Mount Prabu and the western border of the forest area of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom.
Before going to visit Ginari's room, Queen Getara Cinta had received the face of Asih Marang with Adi Manukbumi and Luring in the hall.
“Tell me, why you can get to the territory of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom in a state of being chased by the inhabitants of the Eternal Night Forest!” queen Getara Cinta's orders to the three warriors.
“Please forgive us, Her Majesty The Queen!” The one who said was Adi Manukbumi. “When we last night looked across the lake, we saw a firelight here. We think that this palace is a nest of dedemit waiting lake..”.
Hearing the beginning of the story, smile Empress Kerling Sukma, Kusuma Dewi, Amangkubumi Turung Gali, and Senopati Badik Mida. While Queen Getara Cinta did not smile in the slightest, she still seriously listened to the story of Adi Manukbumi.
“So we decided to attack here on the assumption that this palace is a nest of dedemits. We chose through the Eternal Night Forest. It turned out that while in the forest, we were ambushed and attacked by the murderous horde. One of our friends was killed by them. There is no other way but to escape to the forest of this kingdom,” said Adi Manukbumi.
“Obviously you guys made a big mistake by thinking of this palace as a den of dedemit,” said Queen Getara Cinta.
“Sorry, Her Majesty The Queen. For as far as we know, across the lake there is never a kingdom or a palace,” kilah Adi Manukbumi.
“Counted last night, Lake Fatara and the forest in the south is the territory of the Kingdom of Lesser Sanggana. If you enter without the knowledge of our soldiers, then you can be considered an intruder and deserve to be imprisoned. It was a smart decision when you decided to ask for protection from this kingdom. We, as nurturers, are obligated to protect those who ask for protection. However, surely you also know, thus, the protection we give you becomes the beginning of the Kingdom's feud with the Eternal Night Forest. Then what will you do after getting protection from us?” queen Getara Cinta.
“If the people of the Eternal Night Forest come to attack, allow us to fight for the Kingdom, in return for us,” Asih Marang said.
“Pardon the servant, Her Majesty the Queen. It would be better to offer them to serve the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom and to strengthen the army,” said Kusuma Dewi. Since hearing the report of the sandik teliknya, Kusuma Dewi did intend to ensnare the position of Asih Marang and his two colleagues became indebted.
“This is a kingdom that is only one day old. The kingdom is very short of soldiers. I offer you the opportunity to become a superior soldier in this kingdom, of course according to the level of your ability as a swordsman,” said Queen Getara Cinta.
Adi Manukbumi and Luring looked at each other hearing the offer. Both of them looked at Asih Marang who did not look at them.
“As an early generation warrior, your army journey will be bright,” said Kusuma Dewi giving hope to the three people.
“I'm more interested in being a guardian of a kingdom than a keeper of a village!” adi Manukbumi said enthusiastically.
“I am also willing to be a warrior in this kingdom!” said Luring was also excited, as if forgetting his sadness over the death of Mamu Kedalang.
“I don't!” said Asih Marang which made his two male friends surprised.
“Why, Asih?” ask Adi Manukbumi.
“I am a warrior who loves freedom. I don't want to be bound by rules. However, for the matters of return for the protection of the Kingdom against us, if Her Majesty the Queen permits, I will stay here to wait for the people of the Eternal Night Forest to attack,” Asih Marang said.
“Good. I understand,” said Ratu Getara Cinta. “Adi Manukbumi and Luring, tomorrow Empress Kerling Sukma will assess your ability to become soldiers.”
“Ba.. well, Her Majesty the Queen,” Adi Manukbumi said.
“If you are officially a soldier of Little Sangana, I will hold the killers of your friends responsible for their actions,” Empress Kerling Sukma said.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Adi Manukbumi said as he saluted Empress Kerling Sukma.
“Allow me to follow, Her Majesty the Queen,” said Amangkubumi Turung Gali.
“Please, Amangkubumi,” says Ratu Getara Love.
“Before there is an attack from Mount Prabu or the Eternal Night Forest, it is better that the Empress of Wolves perform her first task to meet the leaders of both regions or one of them. That way is more peaceful than waiting for an attack to come, unless indeed the leaders of the two regions do not have good intentions,” said Amangkubumi Turung Gali.
“Good, I will tell Gusti Prabu,” respond Ratu Getara Cinta. (BH)
