Bab 5: King's Call
The Princess literally held no punch against me. She really did mercilessly break my body apart. I was left unconscious back then. As soon as I woke up the maid told me everything about what happened back then.
"Ah, now I get what Hamengku Suro was trying to convey back then. The princess indeed really a savage fighter. How come such pure beauty and fair skinned lady be that brutal! It doesn't match her looks at all." My thought was drifting away.
I thought that this experience only last for this day, but my expectation did fail me. The next day she summoned me as well. She drilled me like hell again, again and again.
"Princess, can we stop this? I can feel sore all over my body." I begged her.
"Don't call me Princess! call me just my name. We are equal!" As she landed another punch to me.
"Buugh.."
I crawled my way back to stand up. That punch really hurts. When I stand up she uttered something to me. "You must be trained very well. I don't know why my father is looking for someone like you, I thought you are a strong warrior that my father falters but your body seems so weak, far too weak Gen."
What she said, I really wish to inquire it further, but I have no strength just to say another word. She said she was willingly to train my body. But who asked? I hate this very idea when my body crumbled to piece by a beautiful girl. A shame to maximum level.
The training continued for at least almost a week by now. In the morning I woke up and quickly do some running and push ups to build my physical endurance against the heavy assault from the princess each afternoon. These insane week was finally paid off when I can withstand her barrage of attack and evade some of her powerful punches. The princess smirked at me and somehow sneered at me. "Don't be so cocky Gen." as she landed another direct punch to my stomach. I don't know how many times already she hit my stomach but for sure today wasn't the only day I puked due to her punch. But somehow today she seemed very happy as she lend her hand to me to help me get up. "Good job, Gen. Finally your hellish training paid off."
Her smile is so pretty and cute at the same time, even her body was soaked with sweats but she still looked very beautiful. Perhaps I might have falling in love with this girl? Nah, no way she is way too savage. Moreover she seems never interested in me.
Later that night, one of the maid passed me another news. The king finally called for me in tomorrow's audience. The maid told me to prepare myself and rest well as she said that I am an honourable guest to the king. It was simply confusing, why the king asked me to be his guest. I shall get the answer tomorrow.
The next day in King's chamber.
"Welcome traveller, my name is Naku Sriradja the third king of this kingdom. I thank you very much for abiding my call. It has been a long time since we talked like this. I thank you for advising an amazing strategy for the implementation of specialized trade city Badung. It worked very well in Srivimojo favour." The King grandiosely welcomed me.
"Dear my King, sorry to say this. But i don't know what is this talking about. Are you perhaps referring to someone else? I believe I have no recollections about everything that you mentioned." I answered with humble bow.
"There is no possibility that my eyes are wrong you are indeed that man unless...Guards secure the front door of the chamber and I wish everyone leaves this room except this young men." The King commanded everyone to leave.
Did the King decided to punish me here because he was mistaken me for another person? My body trembled and shivering.
"Traveller, tell me your name and state me where are you come from." The King asked me after assuring everyone has left the chamber.
"My name is Genada Oswalt, sir." I told him. I was hesitant to tell the King my origin, but if I don't tell him the truth here, then I might be in dire situation. I have to tell him the truth in order to repay for his kindness as well for allowing me to stay in this beautiful country. So, I told him everything from the moment I opened my eyes to this world. The king nodded calmly. He seemed to be so calm while I tell him this nonsense story.
"I see, there is also that kind of phenomenon. This is the first time I ever heard the terms of world travel." The King agreed easily to my nonsense story.
"The truth is, there is someone who looked just like you. He helped me a lot during the economic crisis of this country, but soon after we finally stabilized our economy condition, he suddenly left and went to the forest, the place where you come. I was very happy to receive the news that man has returned but to learn that it is another man." King sighted out.
"Sorry King, I didn't mean to lessen your happiness." I replied.
"It is okay, actually I am more interested in your story. Rest assured I won't kick you from my country, but instead in return I would like you to share some of your wisdom from the otherworld." The King seems giving me a chance. I am pretty sure he is a very cunning and have a good wisdom. He even willing to negotiate with a new and strange person right of the bat. His charismatic aura really worked on people like me especially. I found it hard to tell lies from the King from the start and he is well aware of that. His gesture and that firm gaze will make people automatically spill the truth.
The King and I finally talked deeply about my origin and all the technology that I know from earth. His eyes simply sparked with lots of ideas after he heard about my story. "This King is vey insightful, how come he have a savage girl like that?" My mind was distracted for a while. He even asked my if there is any possibility that my technology can be implemented for the whole Gehr. I began to question his motives when he told me that. The princess told me about the current situation back in Gehr right now. It was full of war and chaos of each kingdom trying to win over another region. I pondered upon the King's question about implementing it here in this country. Doesn't that mean I gave support to a kingdom? I have tendency not to engulf my self in politics though, that is why it was so hard to answer his question.
"Rest assured, I am very well aware that you are suspicious of me. Even though every kingdom continent is waged war to each other, I solemnly wish for the united peace. There is just too much victims already fallen for war. If only Srivimojo can lead the advanced non war technology, it will open their eyes." The King hit my doubt directly.
"I see, will you promise me your words?" I asked his determination.
"I am proud people of Srivimojo, I tend to tell truth and fulfill promises." Said the King. That words was sealing the deal between King and I. With this I am officially become King's direct technology development advisor.
