Pakde Noto nodded politely at Pandji as soon as he arrived at the pendopo, allowing the beautiful girl behind him to come forward. “I was sent by Mas Pandji's father to take Raden Hadiyata's daughter Nirmala Dewi to have breakfast here!"
Pandji nodded faintly without speaking, his eyes only briefly staring at a beauty not much different from Ratna or Mika. It's just that, Nirmala has a more mature body that might immediately make men easily complacent and submissive to him.
The smell of fresh roses wafted from the body of the girl who smiled charmingly and nodded confidently at her, her carefree manner as she joined the others for the breakfast banquet that was just about to begin.
His brief introduction was very attention-stealing, all the eyes of the young man in the pendopo were glued to his body language. The delicious dishes available were not even able to divert Pandji's mind towards Nirmala.
Afterwards, Pandji observes a plate containing a vegetable salad that Nirmala thrust at him with a flat expression, for some reason he prefers to be served by Mika or Atika while at his house, or by Elok and Ratna at different times.
Nirmala's sweet smile while thrusting the plate was very sweet, "This is Mas Pandji's favorite right?"
Under the gaze of the four girls he used to be with, Pandji simply nodded with a line of forced smiles. Suddenly Pandji feels insecure, according to him Nirmala's unusual beauty, the kind of beauty that contains danger. There was something insincere emanating from his aura, and such a thing made Pandji feel dislike.
Nirmala must not have come of her will! There must be a strong person behind him who made him want to humble his grown self to approach me.
"Is there anything else Nirmala wants to get for Mas Pandji?" The beautiful woman asked softly, her delicate voice was believed to Pandji have the ability to bewitch and subdue men.
But Pandji cannot be cold to his family guests, however, ethics teaches him to be kind and friendly to the person who has come to his house. "No, this is enough, thank you."
What Aswanta reveals is not wrong, Pandji now stands in a world that has changed. Pandji created a story that made many people think about the black and white of the world. His battle with Nergal left behind memories that the citizens feared even though Nergal was no more. However, the threat of Nergal which will again damage the human world makes many people become wary.
The attitude shown in different styles. Unfortunately the nobility who began learning to be knights to defend and to be protectors of the family were far fewer than those who used political means to secure his life.
For the rich, hiring the services of knights is also easier and more effective to secure lives than having to intervene alone when a disaster such as in Jombang arrived in Yogya.
Nobles themselves do not see good looks or habits in difficult situations, they only think of strength like Pandji and his team as protectors, after that just think of titles and wealth, he said, next followed by the level and behavior as the last aspect.
If Aswanta says he is becoming more desirable to girls now than ever, it is undeniable that the same is happening to Tirta and Mahesa. Things become difficult for Pandji as the four girls close to him end up feeling uncomfortable with him.
Nirmala smiled wisely, waiting for Pandji to order himself to serve fully as the meal progressed. Occasionally glanced at all of Pandji's female friends who had only been silent for as long as he was there.
"Sister didn't eat?" ask Pandji politely. He also needs to be stale as a host even though he doesn't really care. Pandji looked at Nirmala's eyes, the corner of his lips raised forming a sincere smile while waiting for an answer.
Nirmala flushed, her heart racing despite feeling stupid and feeling a little too old for Pandji. He was not not dressed young, but his face and body were better suited to seduce Pandji's father than the young man who had just grown up. But who can resist his father's wishes? He was well aware that his arrival was part of the Hadiyata family mission.
"Mas Pandji wants to eat with Nirmala?"
Pandji was stunned, the difference was striking between him and Nirmala. He asked sincerely with no intention of inviting, but Nirmala turned around to make an offer. "This is a thanksgiving event, is it not good to refuse dishes that have been provided by the host?"
Nirmala wanted to stroke the chest, Pandji did not respond at all to her spoiled sentence of flirting as expected. The young man replied flatly and took a mere glance with a lazy expression. Nirmala is instantly worried that her charm is starting to decline in the eyes of men, more worried that she will fail in the mission of approaching Pandji and getting her father's wrath.
