God Emperor In The Body of a Rich Merchant

Chapter 34: The Royal Girl

Three weeks have passed since the events of the white tiger that had rocked the capital. Now, the state of Rajatapura city has returned to peace and tranquility without any chaos.

Under the shady clouds, a group of bodyguards entered the capital. Some of them, guided a beautiful girl nan beautiful. The girl was named Dhatri, the daughter of a royal hulubalang. Her graceful parasites, made the men infatuated with her.

Enzi who was selling fruit plantations, also watched the scenery from the accompaniment of a group of soldiers who escorted the beautiful royal girl.

Just to watch, with no vibration of love from the first sight.

"Surge! Everyone move!" the guard's orders.

The townspeople who were on the scene, stood aside, giving them road space

"The beauty." said a young man who was amazed at the beauty of the princess of the hulubalang when passing in front of him.

Enzi....

"My branch.... My trade.... Nooo!!! Heyeeiii!! Please watch your way! Look at these fruits! Everything is dirty from the dust of your steps! If you want to cross, don't cross the market! There are many access roads from the outside towards the royal area! If it's dirty like this, do you want to be responsible? Surely not, right?" enzi shouted in front of the passing guards.

One of the guards smiled and said the word "Good! You idiot!" while destroying Enzi's merchandise in the form of fruits.

"Typeaaak! My trade...." Enzi looked sad, several times he rubbed the dirty fruit to come back clean. "They are outrageous! My mother has gone to great lengths to pick these fruits! Yet they.."

Enzi-traded fruits are bananas and oranges.

The retinue of bodyguards walked with hubris, crossing the road, removing the citizens who were blocking the access of the road they were about to cross. After a while, they disappeared from view.

"People who have achieved positions, often behave arrogantly! They love to oppress a small people like myself who have no reputation in the kingdom." lamented Enzi.

"Reputation on this lagging planet? Wh-wh-what for? Is it for fun?" ask Emperor Quelle.

"Of course not!" answer Enzi.

"Here you go, you better focus on your initial goal! Focus on being the strongest, on protecting those you love. Focus on trading, for the sake of survival! Reputation and standing, is not a game that suits you!" Emperor Quelle reminded Enzi of what Enzi had been aiming for all this time.

Meanwhile, in a house in the royal area. The house of a royal official who plays as a mantri or who we know as a minister.

A young man in luxurious clothes was sitting on a couch while enjoying a fresh banana. The young man was named Ageng Parta, the son of a mantri.

He looked at the bird that was chirping merrily on top of the tree.

"I heard the news that the old hulubalang was holding a competition. Is the news true?" ageng Parta asked a man who was standing at the side holding a banana comb.

"True sir." replied the man.

Ageng Parta asked again, "I heard too, the contents of the competition he gave involved his second daughter. Is that really so?"

The second daughter of the hulubalang, is an old relative of Ageng Parta. Therefore, Ageng Parta was curious about this news.

"Yes sir. Because he is currently experiencing very severe difficulties, he made his daughter as a gift competition for anyone who can solve the problems he has."

"Difficulty? Besides being strong, isn't he an intelligent person? What was the problem that was so difficult for him to solve?"

"Look, sir, maybe the news I'm about to convey has not reached your ears."

The man explained. "According to the news circulating, there is a bandit group that always makes trouble at the foot of Mount Pulosari. Not a few people are victims. Passing citizens are robbed, and killed if they dare to resist. The bandit group was led by a warrior who was known to be very cruel. If not wrong, the name of the swordsman is an iron swordsman. A warrior who has a hard blow like iron. His hands were extremely strong, thus capable of destroying a wide variety of weapons. Hearing the unsettling news, master Hulubalang led an army to capture the bandit horde. Several bandits were caught, but not a few managed to escape. That's how it happened, sir.."

Ageng Parta put the banana peel on the left, then he asked again. "So, the severe problem that befell the old hulubalang was to capture the entire bandit horde?"

"Actually, that's not all, sir. The servant heard that his wife and youngest daughter were captured and taken as hostages. The iron clerk threatened, if the lord hulubalang did not release his men, and sent him some silver. Then he will not hesitate to kill the wife and youngest daughter of master hulubalang. Therefore, the lord of the hulubalang made a contest, for anyone who managed to free his wife, and youngest daughter, and cleared a bandit bandit group of iron hands. Then she will be married to her second daughter, Dhatri."

Hearing the news, Ageng Parta felt furious and she shouted out in a loud voice, "Learnest! I won't forgive those bandits!"

.............

The Enzi family home.

"Enzi, come here son." the mother called.

Enzi answered her mother's call and came to her. "Yes mom.."

"Look, son, I've set a schedule for your meeting with Denok, the daughter of my best friend."

"Whenever the meeting is scheduled, Enzi is ready to fulfill the wishes of the mother" Enzi replied respectfully.

The mother smiled proudly to see her son who was so obedient. "Next month, we'll meet them. So prepare yourself, son."

"Good ma'am." replied Enzi.

The next day...

The light of the sun tirelessly shines upon the earth. Provide food intake to plants, especially plants that can produce fruits.

On the farm Enzi stood. Check the quality of citrus fruits that will be harvested. All the oranges he cared for, looked fine. The fruits look fresh, and tempting.

"These fruits will harvest in about one to two weeks. Before the harvest, I think, for the next few days I can take the time to hunt animals on Mount Pulosari, for me to make high-quality leather clothes, as a gift to my offering to Denok." enzi.

"Pulosaries... Hmmmm... Didn't she? At the foot of Mount Pulosari, there is a valley inhabited by a group of wolves. The valley is known as the valley of wolves. Before going up the mountain, let's stop there for a moment!" the Emperor Quelle.

"Wolf valley? Is that Ghiwa's house?" ask Enzi.

"Yes." replied Emperor Quelle briefly.

"Good! Great idea! I'll be there! I haven't seen him in a long time!" enzi said excitedly.

"Oh yes, when you get there, prepare your mind." advised Emperor Quelle.

"Mental preparation? Why is it a god? Are there many ghosts?" ask Enzi curiously.

"ghosts? Of course it's not that. But, if there really is a ghost, isn't that interesting enough?" emperor Quelle said while playing on a swing in the garden he created.

"interesting? Pull eyes! You have no idea how scary the mountain ghosts are! If you know, maybe..." Enzi realized, that the name of a ghost is not a scary thing for Emperor Quelle.

"Hmm? Maybe why? Continue on."

"Nothing! Forget it!"
