"What did he call the servant." asked Tonu when he arrived before King Rekatama.
"There is a gift I have not given you" said the King.
Tonu thought he had gotten a reply, from his quest to find the materials the King wanted. The house and wealth given to him, more than enough for his life.
"If you may know, what a gift it is." asked Tonu again.
"I want to give you another gift, say what you want. If I can grant that, I will give you, just say your wish, Tonu." The King replied.
"Sorry, I am honored to hear what you have to offer. But the gift you have given is more than enough. So I don't have to ask anymore." replied Tonu, looking down.
"Have no shame, this time I seriously want to give you another gift, Tonu" said the King.
Hearing the order has been repeated twice, making Tonu not feel good if you have to dodge it again. Afraid that he would offend King Rekatama.
"Hamba understands, but can you give me a reason. Why insist on giving another gift to the servant." said Tonu.
"First gift because you've brought the ingredients to me, even though there must be casualties in the search. I gave you the gift as payment because you lived up to my expectations. Then this time I gave it purely out of gratitude, because my daughter Ambalika has improved and is now in recovery" explained King Rekatama.
Tonu immediately lowered his head, when he heard what King Rekatama said.
"Hamba was grateful, for the news that had been reported by him. This news alone is enough for the servant as a gift, because I also hope for healing for Princess Ambalika" Tonu said while giving prayers.
"Thank you for your words, I'm glad my daughter has so many people who love her" King Rekatama said with a smile.
She was so happy that her daughter was so loved and loved by her entire people.
"Therefore I command you, to pronounce what you desire as this gratitude." commanded the King.
Tonu ran out of sense to dodge again, the three orders at the beginning were the amount he could tolerate. Actually he had already said his wish, but somehow it was not counted by the King as a wish.
Then he took this opportunity, to hand over the letter that Yudi had left to him. Hunt him for respect.
"If he insists, then I have a request" Tonu said.
"Well good, say what you want. If it's still in the stage I can give, then I'll give you." the response of the King.
Tonu smiled as her hand picked up the letter that Yudi had left. The King was astonished at what Tonu was going to do.
"No need to worry, my request is not grandiose. Just accept this and I don't want you to force me to mention my wish again" Tonu said, offering a letter from Yudi.
King Rekatama was surprised when Tonu gave the letter to him, a sense of wonder prompted him to make sure.
"This letter is for me?" the king asked, pointing at himself.
Tonu nodded with a smile, "yes, this is for you, take it!" said it.
His emotions stirred as he read, his face was smiling but in the middle of the letter he widened his eyes. Tonu saw the change in face of the King, then when reading the last three paragraphs his emotions peaked.
"Damn it! So the incident that my daughter experienced was the work of the Slave Trade Guild. It is inexcusable." he said, standing with a dead red face.
Tonu shivered when she heard her king cursing, after reading the letter given by her.
'So Yudi informed her that Princess Ambalika had been poisoned by the Slave Trade Guild. It's great he can know that, ' his inner self.
"Tonu, again you gave me valuable information, I thank you. It's dayang! Bring here what I ordered." the King ordered.
Then the royal Dayang came facing, with a pouch carried using a tray. King Rekatama took the bag and approached Tonu.
"I give you this, don't be denied this time. The same thing I would give to Toni's family. Then thank you for the letter you gave, now you can go back home" said the King, handing over a black bag containing many gold coins.
Tonu did not dare to refuse, because it had been given an ultimatum not to reject it. Although reluctant, but out of respect for the wishes of King Rekatama. He received the gift.
"The servant who should be grateful for His Majesty being so generous to me, my hope this does not stop at me or Toni alone. But it spread to all my lord's people. May Your Majesty always be blessed by Dewa Sadono and Dewi Sri. Then become a King like the legendary King Sri Mahapunggung, whose name is famous to the far reaches of the Jawadwipa continent." said thanksgiving and prayers Tonu for the King.
Hearing what Tonu said, made the King so happy. Especially in praying that he has a character like the Legendary King Sri Mahapunggung which is the incarnation of the God Sadono.
In the very distant past of Lord Sadono and Goddess Sri, once incarnated into the Jawadwipa Continent. Scholars, Poets, and Historians have poured it all into a legendary ancient book.
The book was written in the Pegon script which was the highest literature for humans at that time. There are three languages in this world, Sanskrit script belonging to the gods then Pallawa Aksara as a gift from the gods to humans.
The third is the Pegon script which is the absorption script of the Pallawa script. You could say the root of this script is Sanskrit.
This is to help those whose [Reading] and [Learning] abilities are only at the Beginner stage. In other words, the Pegon character is the daily script of the creatures that exist in this world.
"Your prayers are so comforting to me, please come back to your family, Tonu!" said King Rekatama while inviting Tonu back home.
"The best prayers are always given to you and the royal family. Then please tell me to stay!" tonu said while resigning.
When Tonu was gone, King Rekatama immediately summoned his Senopati.
"Senopathy!" call him.
The royal senopati of Girisetra soon performed the prayer, when King Rekatama called him.
"Daulat Gusti Prabu" he said.
"Strictly guarding the usual path of Merchants. If you find any Merchants or anything related to the Slave Trade Guild hold them. Put them all in jail, you understand!" his orders with a furious tone
"Sendiko dawuh, Gusti Prabu." the response of the Senopati then resigned.
"This matter cannot be underestimated, I will avenge what you have done to my daughter. Then Red Mage Yudi, I will send an envoy and help for you." he murmured.
