The Sword of Somplak
The Temptation of the Queen

Ucup was silent with his eyes closed and hands crossed at the chest. He seemed to be seriously thinking about something. However, what Ucup was thinking was inversely proportional to what Xiao Jinai and Zhao Lang thought which according to both, Ucup was thinking about future plans.

Unfortunately, Ucup didn't think of it that way. What he had in mind was the shadow of a beautiful woman who was the wife of Emperor Zhao Dang. He was interested in playing with her.

“Ah, why am I thinking about it? Could this be because of my instincts as a man,” his inner words.

Ucup grinned with the corner of his expanding lips. He ignored his mischievous thoughts, then reopened his eyelids.

“I think it's pretty clear what Sepuh Zhao Lang told me. Let's just end our conversation, how about, Grandpa Xiao?” ucup asked for an opinion.

Xiao Jinai smiled crisply then spoke, “Alright, my grandson. But I am curious about your plans ahead. May I know, my grandson?” 

“I have no other plans than to go back on my mission to reconstruct the destruction of this universe,” Ucup said.

Zhao Lang frowned hearing that. He recalled the ancient record of the descent of the ruler of the universe after the end of the great interracial wars in the three realms.

“Reconstructing the universe? Are you the ruler of the universe told in ancient records?” sepuh Zhao Dang asked to be sure.

Ucup scratched his hair because he was confused to answer. While grinning, Ucup then said, “I don't know about it. It may be true and it may be wrong or just a coincidence. We never know it.”

Dugm!

Zhao Lang's cousin immediately dropped to his knees in front of Ucup.

“Pardon this foolish servant, Your Majesty,”, said Sepuh Zhao Lang.

“Wake! Mr. Sepuh surprised me. Although it is true, Mr. Sepuh does not need to do that to me,” pinta Ucup directly pulled the shoulder of the older.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Ucup smiled knot while grasping the shoulder of the sepuh.

“For this, Mr. Sepuh does not need to tell anyone. I don't want to be bothered about unnecessary things,” Ucup said asking for it.

“Good, Your Majesty. Servant understood it,” replied Sepuh Zhao Lang. 

Ucup then turned around while pulling Xue Xies hand. He left the two who were still talking. Shortly thereafter, Ucup stopped his footsteps. 

“Young Master, why stop?” ask Xue Xie.

Ucup looked at him with a confused face.

“Where are we going?” ask back Ucup.

Xue Xie sculpted for a moment. He did not know how to behave to the young man he had just convinced as a ruler of the universe. 

“Young Master, isn't our goal going to the Xiao Empire?” xue Xie said reminding him.

“Betul also said, come on!” reply Ucup and then continue his steps.

Entering the room occupied by the nobles and the Zhao imperial family, Ucup stepped in with his indifferent demeanor unwillingly looking at everyone who kept looking at him. Then, when he was near the queens and his two daughters, Ucup deliberately pushed his hips forward. Just in a moment, it made Queen Luo Yun suddenly hot coldly see something poking out behind the cloth of a young man walking past her. 

“Ah, I really want it!” Queen Luo Yun swallowed the saliva while looking at her.

Meanwhile, Princess Zhao Ning and Princess Ling Xi were unceasingly stunned by the handsome charm of the young man who passed by her.

The two of them did not even blink their eyes.

The scene ended after Ucup and Xue Xie walked out of the room. However, a commotion began to occur afterwards. Especially from two princes who do not like the existence of Ucup.

“Congkak once the person ..., actually what is great about him until getting unnecessary honor?” prince Zhao Peng.

“Hah, you said he was beautiful!” Prince Zhao Peng refused.

“No need to react like that, Brother. Look at the faces of your two sisters who are like ripe tomatoes!” prince Zhao Tan's.

The two then glanced at Princess Zhao Ning and Princess Ling Xi who were walking quickly after her mother who had first walked in the footsteps of the young man. The two princes shook their heads with slightly annoyed looks.

“Young Master, wait!” call Queen Luo Yun with a high tone intonation.

Ucup and Xue Xie stopped their steps and turned to the queen. Both of them looked astonished to see a woman who walked quickly by lifting her dress to the knees approaching the two.

“What's wrong, Madam called me?” tanya Ucup wants to know.

Queen Luo Yun did not immediately answer him, he first caught his breath gasping after walking in a fairly cold stream.

“Young gentlemen, my husband and I want to know you. Can you guys stay here for some time?” queen Luo Yun said.

“You are a queen, why are you asking me directly? Isn't there anyone you can order to tell me?” Ucup.

Queen Luo Yun looked nervous to answer her.

“Young Master, we were both going to say it, however, my mother insisted on saying it directly to Young Master. Please, Young Master to forgive my mother!” Princess Zhao Ning said so straightforwardly.

Ucup glanced at Xue Xie beside him. He asked the girl's opinion to determine it. Xue Xie momentarily considered it. Shortly after, he nodded in agreement to stay in the underground world for a while.

Grandpa Xiao Jinai and Sepuh Zhao Lang were so happy to see Ucup and Xue Xie back. 

“Yang Mu-” said Pousin Zhao Lang, his speech was cut off by Grandpa Xiao Jinai's hand which instantly covered his mouth.

“Let's continue the conversation, many stories that you two should not miss,” said Grandpa Xiao Jinai took Ucup and Xue Xie to a different room from the one occupied by the Zhao Imperial family.

“A very good place, Grandpa Xiao,” praise Ucup as soon as entering it.

“First time building this place, my sister and I had a long debate about the function of this place. My sister wants this room to be a special meeting place for emperors and kings. But I continue to reject it because it is not the main priority of the construction of the underground world, especially this room that can accommodate hundreds of souls,”, Grandpa Xiao Jinai explained.

Ucup simply nodded, though in his mind, he confirmed what his late brother Grandpa Xiao Jinai had said. Making a special meeting place for leaders is necessary.

Ucup and Xue Xie then sat on a round stone slab. A short while later, all the members of the imperial family and the nobles entered the room and occupied the stones that formed a circle. The warm conversation between them looked like a large family with various dishes served in their midst.

After the event was over, Ucup occupied a simple room that Grandpa Xiao Jinai had prepared. While Xue Xie occupied his own room which was beside the room occupied by Ucup.

“I still do not believe I can live life in this nature ..., nature is much different from where I live. Even so, I miss my family very much, especially my boyfriend, Indri,” muttered Ucup and then closed his eyes.

Just as he closed his eyes to sleep, his ears heard the sound of knocking on the door outside his room.  

“Who the hell? Why are you so slow to knock on the door?” grumbled Ucup who was forced to cancel his sleep.

“Come in, I'm lazy to open the door!” pintaUcup is screaming a little.

Cracks!

The door opened and quickly closed. Ucup looked up at a woman entering his room in a challenging dress. The woman walked to her tiptoe, for some reason what made her stride should be like that. Ucup could only fall silent with his open mouth staring at him. Shortly thereafter, Ucup blinked. 

“Mrs Queen, why did you enter my room?” ask Ucup wonder.

Queen Luo Yun did not heed it, he bit his lower lip with his seductive gaze continuing to walk closer to the young man. 

“Waduh, this danger!” the word Ucup started to tense up.
