Meeting with the Village Chief

Arya Dipa immediately jumped down from the horse's back. Then she helped Nalini down. This time Nalini was no longer awkward when Arya Dipa held her body. 

Both of them immediately approached the head of the hamlet and several people who were there. "Yes, it's okay. I immediately decided to come here after getting the report from the soldiers yesterday." 

The village chief bowed respectfully to Arya Dipa, followed by the other villagers. It was a great honor for them that the palace would take the trouble to come to their remote village. 

A villager then opened the door to the village hall wide. Before Arya Dipa's arrival, they had prepared the place. "Please come in, Prince."

Arya Dipa and his entourage immediately entered the small pavilion room. Pandanus mats were already spread neatly there. On it were several dishes of food and hot drinks.
