Magical Adventure Book

[Chapter 33-1] A Divided Story

Hand numb. Too long circling the large body of Kord from behind, for the sake of smothering his mouth. Yes, his lambe from the beginning continues to cut the story of Princess Asaru. Stories that he said were very important and related to our mission. Saving the Capitor kingdom and the Suno continent.

Oh yea. We were able to survive the pursuit of the purple-clad woman with the help of Artapatu who was somehow in the news now. The three of us arrived in Goa in a miserable condition. Starving, scarred, dirty, and still traumatized by previous events. Lucky, in the niche of the wall of the cave, already the magic ascetic was preparing all kinds of stock needs. Food, change of clothes, medicine, and so on. So at least we didn't have to look outside, while still fearing the witch and her lizard henchmen.

All day we recover all the wounds and relieve the fatigue. Caring for Woofy and Shege, who are so conscious of directly eating voraciously, follows the lucky Kord. His wound had healed, probably with the help of Artapatu, after earlier, according to his confession, he had almost entered the afterlife. However, before he could step into the land of death, the fat soul was jolted back by a huge electric shock. So you could say, the attack of the woman in the purple dress that almost destroyed the four of us, even became like a heart-calculated shock device is not wrongly named defribrilator as I remember - for him. It's lucky.

"Remove your provisions from Kord, Sam. Pity that he has difficulty breathing," asked Princess Asaru who I immediately participated at that time.

"Fuck you, Sam! If my body doesn't limp, I'll beat you up." He followed me sitting against the wall of the cave.

Waited for a moment. Kord held his breath while holding his wound, which he said still hurt. Princess Asaru gazed towards the edge of the pool where Woofy and Shege, in their cute form, were fast asleep. While I was staring at the stalactites on the ceiling the shining cave illuminated us. Digesting the princess's long story, a story that little was known to Sam, but only this first time I heard. Trying to find the common thread between my adventures so far and the story.

"I've heard the story of the despot hundreds of times, with many versions, from his mother, father, and also the puppeteer who likes to tell stories in the middle of the market with his wooden doll. But this version is the first time I've heard it." Kord opened the conversation.

Our attention was shifted to him. "Don't mean to insult you, princess. But from what I know, the fairy tale you told was a merger of the story of ’Si King Lalim’ which became the story of how the kingdom of Capitor was formed, and should be, too, the despot was killed by the sword of Tura, the great warrior who would become the first king of this kingdom. You could say your great-grandfather. Without the reptile witch, which should be in the story ’The Witch's Curse Full of Revenge’, also two brothers following the evil hermit in the story ’Adventure Two Brothers In the Dark Forest’. Oh yes, and also the two weapons that became the symbol of the kingdom also comes from the story of the beginning of this continent with the title, the, ’Pair of Heroes Liberator Continent’ and that without any story about the stone lazarus like in your story."

That's why I'm keeping his mouth shut. If he is left, his chatty mouth will not stop cutting Princess Asaru's story with her genius opinions (sook).

"You're right, Kord. Indeed the story I tell is a merger of those stories. However, it is actually more appropriate to say that the story I heard from Mr. Artapatu is the real story before it was cut, separated, and then changed to be adjusted."

"Huh? So that means it was intentional? That so?" ask Kord with squinted eyes.

Princess Asaru heaved a heavy sigh. "Actually, the story still has one more part to complete it. Yes, the story of ’The Curse of the Witch Full of Revenge’ as Kord said earlier." Princess Asaru moved position next to me. Follow with eyes glaring to the ceiling. "Tura was not the first king of the Capitor kingdom, as the entire population of the kingdom knew. It was Pata who was first made king after the despotic king died."

"What's!? Hey, then what about Tura?" sambar Cord.

"Wait a minute. Three days? Didn't you say that medicine put them to sleep for seven days?" sela Kord, who I gave her a tight elbow on her arm. She was in pain, the princess laughed.

"I used to ask Mr. Artapatu that question too. He said, they could wake up faster because of the role of the legendary weapon power that protects." Kord said slowly, "Mirala, who served as their nurse, forbade curious citizens from entering. As a result, residents do not know who the real hero is. That made Tura propose a ridiculous idea. He had Pata admit that he alone defeated the despotic king. Pata refuses, but as Tura continues to plead, Pata finally grants her."

"Why did he refuse? And if he did, perhaps the inhabitants would make him king. She is older than Pata. So the king is delicious. Just tell me right there and here, the problem's over. Good food can be eaten whenever you want. It is respected by many people, and it is not necessary to work hard on farming or herding livestock."

"Shut up, Kord! Let Princess Asaru finish the story! Want you, I'll fix it again like that!?" threatening me for being upset by her disappointment.

"Haha. It's okay, Sam. I will also explain the reason why Tura did that." That crisp laugh lowered my emotions. "Tura decided like that because he did not want to be appointed as king. Afraid of going ahead disagreeing about power with his sister. In addition, he also knew that a lot of work was dizzying, which made his freedom disappear. He wanted to go back to his valley and build their hut again. Farm and farm, while guarding their mother's grave."

"Because of that reason, Pata agreed to her brother's request. Long story short, Pata became king with Mirala whom he married as queen. While Tura returned to the valley and lived her life as before. There, he meets Azara. The beautiful bird girl. My great-grandmother."

"I'm sorry, Princess, but don't tell me that it's from the story of "Prince and the Bird Girl" whose male figure is a prince from a faraway kingdom, and not Tura."

"Woofy, come!"

The little dog woke up to my call. Shege who slept on his body fell. The fiery red-furred bird flew in order to peck at Woofy. Angry because his sleep is disturbed. Woofy did not care and immediately ran up to me while barking and wagging his tail.

"Woofy, you stand guard here. If Kord dares to interrupt Princess Asaru's words, you'll bite her ass straight away. Understood?" Woofy barked in answer to my orders. Staring sharply at Kord, thus making him who had long disliked dogs, beaming in fear.

Shege perched on the shoulders of Princess Asaru who was laughing. Watching the instantaneous Kord silence a thousand languages.
