《Didalam Dunia Raja Iblis》Chapter 04 : Malam Pertama

"Hmm, sepertinya aku ketiduran lagi. Untung saja tidak ada hal yang aneh. Tapi dimana ini?"
"Huh! Kau berada dikamarku sekarang. Ma-Maksudku kamar kita."
Sudah kuduga, kamar ini benar-benar mirip dengan kamar mewah di kisah negeri dongeng. Luas kamar ini sekitar 10 Meter2 atau lebih. Ferda, ternyata dia sedang duduk didekat jendela besar yang disinari bulan dan bintang.
Gaun pestanya sudah berganti menjadi baju tidur ternyata.
Tu-
Tunggu dulu.
"Ferda, apa maksudmu dengan semua ini?"
"Bu-bukankah kita sekarang sudah resmi menjadi suami istri? Ini semua ulahmu, tahu!!!"
"Hehehe, maaf aku lupa." Kataku santai sambil menghampirinya yang masih duduk menghadap jendela.
Tenang, aku harus tetap tenang. Aku tidak boleh jatuh cinta dengan dia.
Akupun segera duduk disampingnya.
"Lagipula, kenapa kau bisa secara tiba-tiba tertidur tadi?"
"Ahh, maaf. Sepertinya aku kurang tidur kemarin."
Maaf jika aku berbohong. Alasan sebenarnya adalah karena aku selalu memforsir tubuh terutama pikiranku secara berlebih.
"Jadi, sekarang apa yang akan kau lakukan padaku.?"
Dia menoleh ke arahku.
Wajah cantiknya, lekuk tubuhnya yang sempurna. Ba-Bagaimana ini?
Aku masih belum siap untuk menjadi seorang ayah.
Rencana, aku butuh rencana.
Rencana untuk menghindari bencana besar ini.
"Ahem. Sebelum itu, Apakah kau tidak penasaran dengan apa yang aku lakukan kepada Tuan Girrin?"
"Ahh, tentu. Karena kau mengingatkanku, maukah kau menjelaskan padaku?"
"Dengan senang hati. Dengan syarat kau harus melakukan apapun yang aku mau."
"Ka-Kau ini!!! Baiklah, aku setuju."
"Secara garis besar, Tuan Girrin dan aku membuat beberapa kesepakatan. Salah satunya ialah aku menyuruhnya untuk memungut upeti dengan syarat ia harus memberi para penduduk pekerjaan yang layak. Dia juga harus membuat laporan yang ku inginkan setiap bulan, dan beberapa hal lain yang jika aku jelaskan kau sendiri akan menderita sakit kepala yang berat."
"APA MAKSUDMU!!!" Kata Ferda sambil menggebrak meja di depannya.

Huh~
Sudah kuduga kesalahpahaman ini pasti terjadi.
"Tenanglah. Pertama, aku ada dipihakmu. Kondisi kerajaan ini seperti kerajaan mati setelah ditinggal oleh raja sebelumnya, benar bukan?"
Dia diam.
"Alasan kenapa kau menutupi kereta kuda yang aku tumpangi adalah karena kau tidak ingin aku melihat kondisi wilayah di kerajaan ini."
"Selain itu, para bangsawan juga mulai memberontak. Ini semua terlihat jelas saat mereka menolak upacara pernikahan kita."
"Lantas, kenapa kau tidak berpihak kepada Tuan Girrid? Bukankah itu lebih mudah bagimu untuk menguasai kerajaan ini!!!"
"Tuan Girrid dan para bangsawan yang dipihaknya terlalu serakah hingga lupa bagaimana cara menggunakan hati dan pikiran mereka. Tapi, tujuanmu sendiri juga terlalu mulia sedangkan kau tidak tau bagaimana cara mewujudkan tujuan itu sendiri. Tapi, karena aku disini, aku bisa mewujukan impianmu."
"Kau belum menjawab pertanyaanku tadi!? Bagaimana aku bisa mempercayaimu!?"
"Di dunia asalku...
Di dunia asalku, aku tidak bisa melakukan apapun untuk melawan mereka yang serakah itu.
Setiap hari yang kulihat hanyalah berita tentang pembunuhan yang merajalela karena kemiskinan dimanana.
Manusia yang terbutakan hatinya lebih mengerikan dari pada iblis. Namun...
Aku tidak bisa melakukan apapun...
Aku belum bisa membantu untuk merubah kondisi itu...
Karena itu, setidaknya... Jika aku bisa merubah kondisi seperti itu dimanapun aku berada.
Aku akan melakukannya, apapun resikonya!!!"
"Z-Zam, Kenapa kau tiba-tiba menangis???"
"Hiks, maaf. Aku terbawa oleh suasana."
"Setidaknya, minumlah ini dulu. Aku percaya pada kata-katamu tadi."
"Terimakasih."
Ehh, kenapa kepalaku pusing??
Kenapa badanku tiba-tiba terasa panas??
"I-Itu sejenis minuman anggur khusus. Sudah menjadi tradisi disini meminumnya bagi pengantin baru, aku juga penasaran...Ehh, Zam kenapa kau menatapku dengan aneh?"
"Tch, ini semua salahmu."
"Tenang-Tenanglah Zam. Li-lihat aku akan meminum ini juga."
Sial, apakah dia tidak tau kalau itu minuman untuk merangsang-
"A-A-Apa yang barusan kau lakukan."
Dia menciumku. Aku juga tidak bisa menolaknya.
Ini pasti pengaruh minuman barusan.
"Bodoh, kenapa kau juga meminumnya!"
"Ciuman pertamaku! Aku juga tidak tahu kenapa aku tadi ingin sekali menciummu...Ta-tapi Zam..."
"A-Apa lagi? Jangan melakukan hal yang aneh. Kita sudah sepakat,bukan?"
"Aku sudah tidak tahan... Zam kau akan bertanggung jawab kan?"
AHHH, kenapa dia malah membuka bajunya.
Jangan mendekat Zerda.
Ta-tapi...
Ayah, Ibu, aku akan menjadi pria dewasa malam ini...

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Starcycle - Synastry
Of the six great stars orbiting the planet Adroban, Mito's vile purple starlight is the most feared and hated, especially in times of war and bloodshed. The black sands of Jiovar turn red from the crimson tide of war, and with Mito's eclipse looming near at hand, the kingdom searches for a way to protect themselves from the great star's blight. By Prince Kaeto's command and the guidance of the court stargazer, Sora, a jah annan warrior slave, must undergo a harrowing rite to bind herself to the dark star's power, eliminating Mito's threat and tethering herself to the prince as the sword of Jiovar, a weapon to strike down the kingdom's enemies. Fate, however, has other plans. A partial failure of the rite leaves Sora lost in unfamiliar lands with unwanted powers, helpless to aid her kingdom or the prince until she can find her way back.
