Chapter 22 - Tired After Fighting Demons

"Okay if Mr. Zuko is really okay. Just sleep here, if you still feel unwell, just tell the doctor."

"Yes, Uncle. Thank you."

Zuko tried to get back up, his eyes began to faintly see Freya clearly and distinctly.

Patih Cakra said that he had some needs at that time, so he could not stay there for long.

"Wait, Uncle."

Patih Cakra stopped his steps when there was a call from Zuko. "Yes. What's the matter, Mr. Zuko?"

Zuko got up from his sleep and walked over to Patih Cakra. "What about the emperor Argayasa? Has he regained consciousness?"

Patih Cakra shook his head which gave a signal that the emperor had not yet awakened from his unconsciousness.

Moments after standing up and asking that, Zuko thought of the king the demon that he had killed earlier, but he was still not sure whether the wolf creature was dead or not. "Then what about the wolf creatures

what I built earlier, Uncle?"

Patih Cakra nodded his head smiling. "They had all vanished when the samurai Zuko had brought scratched his unraveled intestines."

Instantly his stomach wanted to vomit something when he remembered the intestines of the wolf demon creature that secreted disgusting contents.

"What's wrong with you?" Freya touched her hand to Zuko's face which was instantly pale.

"I only remember the contents of the demon king's intestines which are so disgusting, I want to vomit," he replied, covering his mouth with both hands.

Freya breathed a sigh of relief because the man she loved was okay, but only disgusted when she remembered the demon king who died lying with spilled milk.

"If lord Zuko wants to see the body of the demon king, the body is still in front kingdom and we will send it to all of his subordinates so that they are afraid of us," said Patih Cakra convincingly.

Hearing the words of Patih Cakra who wanted to scare the subordinates of the demons by using the body of their leader, Zuko was afraid that it would cause even greater havoc.

"In my opinion, it's better if you don't do something like that. It's better if we just bury the body of the demon king," Zuko refused with a reason he still hasn't mentioned.

Freya heard between the words of Patih Cakra and Zuko who had different opinions, she just kept quiet and heard the best decision. In his mind still thinking about his father who still hasn't woken up, he is confused whether his father will wake up again.

"Uncle. What about my father who is currently unconscious? What should we do to bring him back to his senses? Freya doesn't want to be silent when it comes to her father who is still unconscious.

Zuko soothed Freya by stroking the hair on the girl's head, smooth and very fragrant. "Calm down, Freya.I will try my best to help the emperor recover and come to his senses."

Freya pressed her head against Zuko's body, feeling the affection of a very kind and loving man. Likewise with Zuko who increasingly loves and loves Freya. But neither of them wanted to say what was in their hearts, because they felt awkward.

Patih Cakra smiled seeing Zuko's intimacy with a daughter of the emperor he was protecting. "You two seem like a match."

Zuko stuttered and slightly moved away from

Freya. "N-no, Uncle."

"Sorry, Zuko. I didn't mean to," said Freya shyly.

Zuko smiled and touched Freya's head again like Freya was a child.

Freya's height was only up to Zuko's shoulder. With a height like that, making Zuko look dashing like a prince in that country.

Even though he is a nobody in the Lavender kingdom. But in the kingdom of Syailendra, he is a crown prince at once the greatest archer in his country.

Seeing Freya in front of him made Zuko's heart feel happy and calm, but his calm was still mixed with the problems in his life.

"Master Zuko, do you really want to see the corpse of the demon king?"

Zuko, who was still lost in thought with blank eyes, woke up when Freya pinched his cheek.

"Y-yes, Uncle." he answered.

**********

Patih Cakra pointed towards a carcass of a black creature that smelled very bad, located right in front of the Lavender kingdom.

"Oh my," He was surprised to see the demon king's carcass covered with thick black blood.

What's even more surprising is that dozens of crows alighted and ate the rotten flesh of the demon king's body.

A crow is trying to grab a very disgusting intestine with its beak, while the other is there which perches from the head to the feet.

Zuko stood with Freya and Patih Cakra right in front of the royal gate,

because I can't stand the smell.

"What makes Mr. Zuko not allow me to send this body to the Flores forest? Isn't this that the army of the demon king in the Flores forest will surely be afraid!" asked the governor of Cakra.

"I used to hear that if there is a lion dance demon gang, is it part of the demon king?" Zuko asked when he remembered what Patih Cakra had said.

Patih Cakra said all about the Forest. "Flores forest is a place where there is a kingdom belonging to a demon king, in that kingdom led by a demon king killed by Zuko's master earlier. And now there are still creatures stronger than the creatures you killed earlier." Patih Cakra pointed at the corpse of the demon king.

"Who is that creature, Uncle?" asked Zuko who was still curious.

Patih Cakra looked at the corpse of the ghost king while saying. "He is the being who has kidnapped the emperor Argayasa.

The demon lion white lion dance."

Zuko gulped when he heard the answer from the regent Cakra. Why is there a white lion demon among the wolf demons? Strange, he was still surprised.

"How can a lion be in league with a wolf? Isn't that strange, Uncle?"

"It sounds very strange, but in fact it is. The lion demon is likened to a warrior like you in the wolf demon kingdom," said Patih Cakra.

Zuko started to think that the governor of Cakra earlier

sending the corpse of the demon king, I don't know

what will happen to the Lavender kingdom if the demon lion dance goes berserk because its leader is killed by Zuko. "Fortunately uncle I told you not to

hasty in making decisions."

"Which decision, sir?"

"Uncle was almost about to send the corpse of the demon king to his kingdom in the Flores forest, isn't it very dangerous if the lion dance demon goes berserk and takes revenge," replied Zuko by explaining his logic.

"I forgot. Fortunately, Mr. Zuko stopped me before going there," said Patih Cakra.

He observed the carcass, which had a foul smell that stung when exposed to the wind. "What about the carcass?"

"Let the soldiers who threw him away from this place."

Zuko nodded his head in agreement. When he turned his gaze to Freya, he was surprised that the girl was no longer by his side.

He turned to the royal courtyard, he saw several soldiers and royal servants passing by with their own business.

"Where was Freya?"

"Perhaps come inside accompanying the emperor."

Zuko walked to the emperor's room to see how he was doing and to check whether Freya was there or not.
