The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)
3.13. Princess Plan
The next morning at the Princess' Palace.
“This is all because of you, Shan. You make me like a woman,” when Lorr En grunts, while repeatedly repeating the embroidery always fails.
“If you do not force me out of hiding, it will not be discovered if I infiltrate the Heirloom Palace, then I will not be punished like this. Embroider like a girl!“ his nag.
Shaninka was not far from Lorr En, embroidery on a piece of cloth. He turned his head wryly, “Why don't you blame yourself too, who told you to infiltrate the Heirloom Palace? If this is the case, why am I the only one to blame?“ Shaninka did not lose the sewot.
“Huh!” Lorr En sighed, “What would people say if they saw me embroider like this, I must be a mockery!“ Lorr En is not done grumbling.
“I'm not mad at you, just grumbling myself. If you don't like it, don't listen!“
“How can I not hear that I am here with you?” Shaninka did not want to lose, while turning her back.
“Huh!“ seeing Shaninka behaving like that, Lorr En threw away his face. For some time they were silent to each other.
“Sst, what's going on? I've heard you guys keep noisy!“ Princess Alingga came unexpectedly the two of them. Seeing him coming, the two faces of the boy changed, not as stiff as before.
“So you don't accept this punishment I'm giving you? do you think there is a punishment more appropriate than this? Or is it better that my father decides the appropriate punishment for an intruder?“
“Hamba please, don't do that, Princess!“ lorr En Pinta. Princess Alingga smiled faintly looking at her gelagat.
“Hamba please, Princess is compassionate to him. If anyone is to blame, then it's the servant's fault, can't advise him well so as not to wander the nights.“
“That's not true, Princess! The guilty servant. Somehow curious to see the party ... and .. ng ...”
“Speeking at dancing ladies? Also beautiful guests?” Princess Alingga interrupted Lorr En's sentence, and the boy immediately smirked in embarrassment. He was at a loss to continue with his words moreover, he finally let the princess offend like that even though it was not the real answer. Actually, the plan last night was to trace a clan emblazoned in the Tanapura Ancestral Lineage in the Silver Palace.
Lorr En glanced towards Shaninka since earlier glancing at him. He was sure only that young girl knew about the real plan.
“You lied!” princess Alingga said, her voice was subtle but quite shocking to the two of them.
“I can feel it. There's something you're hiding. Tell me what is it?” princess Alingga's voice was flat but firm. Shaninka and Lorr En looked at each other and bowed in response.
“Sorry, but this is personal. Please understanding Princess!“ shaninka finally answered.
“O, so? Well, if that's your secret. If I can't know, it's okay. But I won't tolerate punishment for you either. It is good that I punish you rather than your Punishing Father! Finish the embroidery, you guys should replace all the embroider work for the next two days!“ the tone of Princess Alingga's voice became more firm. As he turned around and was about to leave them in the room weaving together.
“This is not wise and totally unfair! Me and Taja came to the Princess' aid. If we knew it like this, we would not bother to sacrifice our lives to Catch the Magic Flower to save the life of princess Tanapura!“ Lorr En could not control his emotions. He got up and said so that made Princess Alingga's steps stop. Shaninka herself was very surprised by Lorr En's attitude which suddenly turned rude. Whether he was possessed or indeed his anger could not be contained anymore until he dared to speak rudely to Princess Alingga.
Princess Alingga turned her head and retreated to her previous position, of course she was surprised to see Lorr En's attitude. The princess couldn't believe it. Shaninka was wrong.
“What do you mean by words? I never asked any of you to treat me. You yourself who deliberately follow the competition in return for becoming a disciple of Praja Tanapura, why not ask for a piece of gold or abundant treasure. So you do not need to undergo all the rules and penalties for violations!“ Princess Alingga turned emotional, her beautiful and innocent face turned crimson. It does not make the guts of Lorr En ciut, he actually more puffed up in front of the Princess.
Seeing Lorr En's disrespect, Princess Alingga made a shortcut decision.
“Alright! I will report this to Your Majesty. It seems that only he deserves to act. Because a daughter like me doesn't deserve to advise you on orderliness!“ Princess Alingga turned around again and rushed towards the door. While the confused Shaninka half ran over.
“Hamba please Princess, forgive her. He, would never have been this desperate if we had not felt so worried and frightened ...,” Shaninka rested at the feet of Princess Alingga. But Lorr En who was far behind him threw his face against the wall, he was still annoyed.
“Already, no need to beg forgiveness for me. It won't change the situation! We will be punished like Taja. Just a waste of time!“ shouted Lorr En.
Princess Alingga paid no attention to Lorr En's words, and turned her attention to Shaninka who was pitying at the tip of her foot.
“I really don't understand about your problems, why don't you tell me what's going on? Then how can I understand you guys if you don't open up to me?” The princess tries to have a cool head. Had Lorr En and Shaninka not been Taja's friends who had treated the Princess, it would have been reported.
“We do not intend to disobey or belittle the Princess, but .. what can a person do if his best friend is not in good shape. Therefore we behave like this, we are worried, sad, and always feel unsettled as long as our friend is still in the Sapodilla Settlement. How he is now, whether he is fine or not, we do not know either...Even no news from him to this day,” Shaninka glazed and could not continue his words anymore.
“What do you mean, is Taja?“ Princess Alingga pulled Shaninka's arm for her to stand up. Shaninka gave a small nod in response to the Princess' question.
“Taja is in time for punishment, please Princess forgive king Lorr.”
Princess Alingga was stunned for a moment, sitting on one of the chairs lined up along the loom table. Then he suggested something, “Let's go, I'll help you get out of this country. I will ask Your Majesty to grant your resignation and freedom to leave Tanapura.” immediately
