Sanggana Swordsman
16: Guests to Mount Prabu
*Small Sanggana Kingdom (Silver)*
It was adorable when Empress Sandaria was first present in the main hall after her status as empress. He could feel himself being the center of attention of his smiling madmen.
“How? Still want to marry again or just once?” Empress Tirana whispered to Empress Sandaria with the intention of teasing her.
“Hihihi! If the groom is always Kakang Prabu, I want to get married,” Sandaria replied with a flirtatious laugh.
Queen Getara Cinta and Empress Kerling Sukma also smiled at the smile of Empress Sandaria, who had just gone through a long and winding bed trip.
At the meeting, only Kusuma Dewi was absent. Because, he had to undergo a variety of cleaning and self-decoration processions. A bride must be completely clean and fragrant all parts of her body, even clean up to the deep parts.
“I have received a short report from Queen Getara for what happened yesterday to last night. Deliver your plans today!” said Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana aka Joko Calm.
“Allow me to speak, Kakang Prabu!” empress Kerling Sukma.
“Please, Fourth Empress!” said Prabu Dira.
“The conflict created between the Kingdom and the Gunung Prabu warrior group, demanding the Sixth Empress to serve early, despite only yesterday undergoing marriage and feeling untold happiness. With the capture of the five men of Mount Prabu, I suspect the Prince of Burials will act faster to free his people or take revenge. Thus, it was best that the Sixth Empress immediately went to make a deal with the Prince of Burials and to find out the attitude she took. Even though we have now dealt with the people of the Eternal Night Forest, but who have reason to act first against us is Mount Prabu,”, said Empress Kerling Sukma.
“Good. Sixth Empress, thank me!” prabu Dira.
“Hamba is ready to accept the decree, Kakang Prabu!” empress Sandaria said as she got down from her seat and knelt in deep respect.
“This morning too, go to Mount Prabu and meet the leader and ruler of that mountain. Offer them three choices!”
After the meeting that morning, Empress Sandaria immediately left for Mount Prabu.
Empress Sandaria must have left with all five wolves. In addition, Muta Dipa and Surya Kasyara are escorts as Flower Guards. In addition, there were thirty soldiers escorting.
On her way through the forest, up the mountain, Empress Sandaria formed a rather different formation.
The frontmost position in the pack was two wolves, the Moon and the Star. After that, the thirty foot soldiers. Behind the troop of soldiers walked Mutual Dipa and the Mad Drunk Swordsman. Only then did the Sheen and Belang walk, the other two wolves.
While Satria, who was carrying Empress Sandaria, walked the very back and was a short distance away. Empress Sandaria's position intended to control the security of her entourage. Such was the leadership style of the wolf pack that was always serious about giving protection to his entourage.
Queen Sandaria occasionally moved forward to control and supervise the entourage. After examining her entourage, the Empress would return to the position at the very back.
Upon arrival at the foot of Mount Prabu, they had to climb up to the mountain. When they reached the waist of the mountain, Empress Sandaria could feel the presence of people watching their journey. However, Empress Sandaria remained calm.
As already knowing the route and the condition of the terrain on the mountain, the group of Queen Sandaria knew had arrived in front of a stone archway that was mossy and overgrown by vines. It could happen because of the olfactory acuity of the two wolves in front. They can sniff out the smell of humans which is actually rare in such large mountain areas.
Empress Sandaria's entourage was forced to stop right at the gate because there were more than ten people standing in the way. The thirteen men who looked like warriors were led by a beautiful woman dressed in dark green combined in white. The woman was a beautiful yellow-skinned langsat, but looked mature because she was already over thirty years old. The long-haired woman was armed with a black fan.
In addition to the fourteen men who confronted it, it turned out that there were also a number of people on the back and sides, indicating that the group had been surrounded.
“Who are you?!” exclaimed the woman with black fan, the question he addressed in general.
The question was not answered immediately. Sandaria ordered Satria to move forward. The black fan woman and her colleagues chose to wait for what Empress Sandaria and her wolves would do that actually made the guts tremble.
However, Satria actually stopped not at the front of the group. He stopped and descended to the ground as he arrived at the side of his army. Next, Empress Sandaria moved down and walked while positioning the tip of her blue stick in front of her feet, slightly above ground level. In that way, everyone who surrounded them knew that the little woman who looked so stunning was blind.
Not a little caution, especially the hearts of the bulls who initially put hostility towards foreigners, turned to be filled and pity. The black fan woman became somewhat surprised to learn of Empress Sandaria's blindness.
The Wolf Empress then stopped walking and stood in front of the Star and Moon, also facing the black-faced woman.
“Pardon us for being presumptuous to enter your territory, Brother,” said Empress Sandaria mannered while smiling kindly, giving a good first impression. “I am a messenger from the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom who has now stood in the north of this mountain. I'm Empress Sandaria. I'm sorry if I came with my five pets. I'm a woman who's blind, so I need care from the wild nature.”
The more surprised the feelings of those people, because the woman who came to their place was a queen.
“Can I know who I'm dealing with?” sandaria asked gently while smiling sweetly.
Although the bulls standing in line behind the black-faced woman were seen to be silent in obedience, but in fact their hearts melted watered down to see the charm of Empress Sandaria who was adorable and tickled the instinct of maleness.
“I am a Light Bead, Black Fan Swordsman!” answered the black-fisted woman, stay out loud. He must keep his duty in front of his colleagues who he leads.
“It's great to meet such a beautiful woman as Brother Manik. Your nickname alone has shown your great level of devotion,” praise Empress Sandaria while smiling widely. His spoken language and body language did not show the slightest nuance of hostility.
“Then, what does your arrival mean, Empress?” ask the Light Bead without any mention of reverence.
“I want to meet your leader. If not wrong, his name is Prince Kury. Straighten me if I'm wrong,” said Empress Sandaria.
“True, our leader's name is Prince of Graves,” says Manik Cahaya.
Suddenly….
“Let them in, Manik!” said one intangible voice. The voice belongs to a man and from the color can be guessed that his age is not young.
Hearing that command-type voice, the Light Bead then shifted to the side followed by its comrades. So opened the way for the entourage of Empress Sandaria.
“Thank you for your kind welcome, Kisanak!” empress Sandaria said a little loudly to the voice that has not been seen in its form. (BH)
