Chapter 4: The Maiden and Political Spark
I was so shocked with his answer. I honestly never believe that I was really transported to another world. "But how? I was just sleeping on my patient bed back then." I mumbled
"Well, whatever. I must find necessary information in order to survive in this unknown land. I must survive until somehow I find a way to go back to my original world. Even if I can't return at least I must be able to live here well. This is Isekai!! For God's sake!" as I tried to reassure myself.
"Mr. Genada, you better stick with us now, we can assure your safety." invite Sri Puspa. Actually I know another purpose of this invitation. They seemed to be suspicious of me, well obviously since I have no background here. But hey, it is a good idea to follow both of them actually, so I dared to say. "Of course, it would be better to go with you two. I don't know anything about this place anyway." "Great, let's go then." replied Sri Puspa.
The soldier finally opened the gate. The gate height is about 10 meters. The massive gate was slowly ascending as we entered the city. I saw an amazing view. The city is so beautiful that I can hardly describe it. There are a lot of unique ornaments, carved relics on each house, the buildings literally glittering with some unknown light. The wall of each house was embedded with some small gems and glass that reflected light in a beautiful ways. Not only that, there are bunch of flowers here and there as good decorations to comply with the beauty of this city.
"This is Badung. One of the outer city in this kingdom. Even it is located in the outer area, Badung is very popular place for commercial and business for every adventurer and merchant all across the world." Hamengku Suro proudly announced this city to me.
"Indeed, a lot of travellers across the continent and the world praise this place for its beautiful environment. Not only that, but you can find some of the best products of many nations here as well. Short story, this city is one of Srivimojo's pride." Added Sri Puspa.
"It is better for us to move quickly, our destination is still very far from here." Hamengku Suro replied.
"Alright, let's go." I added.
It took about half an hour if I was right. We all arrived in a grand mansion with a very wide garden. "We have arrived, my Princess." Hamengku Suro bowed down to Sri Puspa.
"Wait whaa..?"
"Cut that out Hamengku Suro, I don't want you to call me that! I have said it so many times, right?" Sri Puspa halted my speech with unease.
"Sorry Prin... I mean Sri Puspa." said Hamengku Suro.
"Sorry what do you mean by Princess? is she really Princess? You mean Princess of the kingdom?" I hurriedly barraged Hamengku Suro with questions.
"Yes, she is." He shortly replied my question.
Again, what happened with this day, I just met some unknowingly powerful people. Not some ordinary powerful people, but she is literally the Princess of this kingdom! My thought failed to follow this massive information. "Too much!" as if my brain screamed. I must be extremely careful with these people, there is no way they can let me live for any unsightly behaviour.
"Let me guess, Mr Hamengku Suro you are his fiancé or perhaps the Prince as well?" I quickly asked.
"Just call me my name, I dislike any mister added to my name. I am not so old you see? Well anyways I am just her private guardian. I am a direct knight under the order of the King." Soon you will meet the King as well as he has been searching for your whereabout." Hamengku Suro replied.
"How come a King asked to have audience with me? I was just barely arrived here in this kingdom." as I replied his nonsensical information.
"Rest assured, I believe the King has no ill intent toward you. Well for now you have to stay here with us, until the King summoned you." Sri Puspa barged and tried to reassure me.
I don't know what to say anymore to this situation. But my mind grow very wary of this conditions. My intuition tell me that there will be an incoming storm with this fast paced and unknown development.

Meanwhile, in shady corner of another mansion. A shadow quickly revealed itself. A man, aged about 20-25. He wore a normal clothes but an eerie aura lingers around him. He was supposed to inform the nobles that hired him certain information.
"I have some report according to my intel." the man said.
In front of him, there is a noble with a very dignified aura around him. His hand held some sort of short staff made of some unknown material. He replied the shadow. "State your information."
"The Princess has returned back to the Kingdom and now she is heading to her mansion. As my intel mentioned, she won't leave anywhere for the coming weeks. The shadow slowly revealed his intention.
" I see, finally it is time to start our plan. Slow and carefully, we will begin our operations in two weeks from now on." The noble arched his smile with malice intent.
"Your command, I follow." As the man in shadow slowly erased his presence.
---
"Don't even try to distance yourself from me, adventurer!" Sri Puspa yelled at me. She really has a sharp intuition. I instinctually tried to create a distance with her. But she saw through me. "How fearsome her sense." is the only word I can mutter to myself.
"Hahaha. Sri Puspa please refrain yourself from instilling fear to this adventurer. Do you want that accident with Pu..." "Bugh" a fierce punch landed to Hamengku Suro stomach before he could even finish his mocking. "uUggh!!"Hamengku Suro replied with intense pain. Hamengku Suro still hold his stomach and went silent. It seemed as if he learned his mistake. I just watch and unintentionally gulped my saliva. Just how scary she can be?
"You made my mood worse today Hamengku Suro, please don't talk about that trash in front of me!" as she leaves us and went ahead.
"..."
"..."
"...."
An awfully silent situation happened in front of me. Hamengku Suro slowly looked upon me and smiled signalling me that he was "OK".
"I am sorry, don't blame her, it is just her temperament is quick witted. She is very good girl actually. Due to that reason she hardly match with every candidate she met for marriage." Said Hamengku Suro.
"Uh- huh." I guess it should be the appropriate respond for his statement.
Short after, a fair lady approached us and called for Hamengku Suro.
"Don't tell me you make fun of Princess again, husband." the woman asked and slowly bruised his clothes.
"Haha, as always. What a lovely girl she has become." Hamengku Suro tried to divert the accusation.
I looked at both of them what a pair of amusing people, the woman so eagerly to wait for her husband to return safely, but in the end the husband is hurt in front of her. Well I kinda dislike this lovey dovey situation so I asked Hamengku Suro. "Maybe I need to leave you two, since you must be treated well." as I winked to him.
"Haha, young one, you sure are funny. Well just follow the corridor here and your room is on the left side." Hamengku Suro replied.
"Okay, thanks." I continued to walk the corridor and find a maid in front of the room that Hamengku Suro mentioned.
"Sir Genada Oswalt? Please come inside, I have prepared your room as Princess asked." she said as she bowed to me.
"Thank you!" I hurriedly reply and opened the door.
The room is simply amazing as well. The decorations is very nice. The room theme is red velvet similar to that of a noble bed that I often read in novel story. It was so big that even the restroom is built indoor. I find it interesting since the restroom also have a bath with flowing water. "It is quite advanced technology ain't it?" I muttered in awe.
I take a bath and afterward I come out of the room. The maid simply stay still and bowed to me."Sir, Princess asked your assistance at the training field. Please let me guide you."
"Thank you." I replied.
Again I walked the corridor of the mansion. Soon after I found a beautiful garden, filled with lots of different flowers and artistic statue. After ten minutes walk I reached the training ground just to witness something crazy going on.
"Stand up! Brace yourself and fight me well warrior!" Said Sri Puspa as she grab her opponent and throw her to mid air.
"Nooo Princess I yield! I yieeee... aargh..." the sound of man who was desperately flying away thrown by the Princess.
Sri Puspa suddenly looked at me and called for me. She told me to become her spare partner.
"Good bye, my body you will be missed." As I tried to recollect the memory of the recently thrown man.
