A bright morning brings cheerful laughter throughout the grounds.Lustrous laughter echoes from door to door.
The celebration of the appointment of the first son of the commander's family to become the youngest first-rate general was held in the commander's residence with great fanfare.
Music and laughter overlapped with Aum's hearing, which was being authorized to write a book of manners.
her round eyes occasionally glanced at her biological mother who was grinding ink for her.
'mother? '
the mother raised her head, her little princess's parsimonious face made her hold a louder smile.
seeing the mother had no intention of easing her sentence, the tiny little mouth pursed.
'mother, Aum will finish this in one incense stick, and will catch up with first brother, later there will be many girls who tease big brother'
the mother can only shake her head weakly.how the first child in this family can soon get married, while the sister will try hard to make her brother away from the girls.
'You know what not? if you're sad when no girl likes you? '
big eyes Aum looked at his mother with adhesion.In his mind flashed the thing that was done so that the girl who liked her brother was not as bad as being able to get close to her brother.
'mother, sister will get married but have to wait for Aum to ride her own horse'
the mother could only shake her head again while continuing to grind ink for her beloved daughter. In this house no one is able to resist the wishes of the youngest daughter.
moreover, the first child in this family would definitely do anything for his little sister.
'can mama rest for a while? '
the little girl tried to seduce the mother who was waiting for her from noon.
'finish your task nduk, mother will let you out if your spelling is all right'
said her real mother firmly.
sandrani knew that his daughter was too much in the clan of the commander-in-chief, but she also tried to discipline her daughter at all costs.
sandrani realizes that her little daughter will follow in her father's footsteps, although her husband continues to avoid that Aum is too small to be forced to learn things that he does not like.
sandrani recalled the first time Aum cried to learn the sword, her husband easily agreed with her daughter's will. How upset sandrani heart, he said,
'this is not good my husband, Aum woman don't let him do things that are not natural'
sandrani once tried to convince her husband, but the commander remained convinced that one day Aum would be willing to leave such a vile thing by itself.
but look now until the age of 5 years, Aum continues to pursue the skills that should be done men.But sandrani not lost his mind, he also continues to search his daughter with sewing, embroidery, and, and everything that concerns her nature as a woman. interrupted between activities Aum practicing sandrani teach her own daughter.
'see mother aum has done it all'
Big eyes aum round funny, hope anxious.see his daughter who is restlessly staring at the task that is in correction, he can not help but smile.
in his daughter's dark hair, rubbed,
'go, play with your age. Remember don't bother your sister'
without looking again the little girl ran away leaving the mother who could only sigh.
the middle yard of the commander's house looks festive, the sound of laughter and jokes makes the little girl's legs faster.
his room which was on the west side of the main courtyard made him have to walk around in a twist.had not yet reached the middle courtyard, his eyes had involuntarily caught an odd sight. the small leg turned towards the courtyard of his second brother's room.
the sound of an arrow released from his bow as if splitting the air made Aum's eyes round fascinated.all of a sudden the archer turned around and released his arrow towards the aum.
the arrow stuck right next to the ear of the girl standing at the stake.
'how can any disrespectful person enter in with silence'
Quite a sharp sound From a 10-year-old Child.
aum's eyes flickered a funny blink, there was no fear in those little eyes. made the 10-year-old exasperated.
aum's irritated face made anyone angry, but this was not the case with that annoying-looking 10-year-old boy.
'Where did your courage come from? the girl who can only cry and complain to your mother, go while I'm good'
without sin the 10-year-old boy turned around and started pulling his bow again.
Aum who felt demeaned picked up his hairpick and threw it like a spear, and 'the impalement of Aum's silvery-red hair stuck it in the left arm of the 10-year-old boy.
maybe our noise was too loud to invite some people around.
the boy hurriedly pulled Aum into a narrow corner between ornamental plants, and was safe enough for hiding.
'what are you doing? '
Aum looked at the boy who was her brother's age in surprise.
'silently, I will forgive you for injuring the royal lineage if you keep quiet and don't make a sound'
Aum is a type of child who is easy to respond, from his analysis this handsome but annoying brother is sulking so he does not want to mingle in the party.
finally they had to hide for more than 2 hours, waiting for the guards who continued to search the entire house.
Aum could only be upset in his heart, how could he miss the party because of this ridiculous thing from this very annoying person.
involuntarily the aum eyes caught the blood spots on the right back arm.
this is me inwardly.
' Does this hurt? ' asked Aum lirih.
'you'll pay for it later' the boy muttered.

' Aum doesn't like to go with grandma, so Aum should know when it's finished? ' hasturi tries to be firm with her only granddaughter.
' no grandma, Aum just can't with this suit. Aum's head itches'
she complained funny.
The entire contents of the carriage laughed loosely, Hasturi could only laugh out loud at the suffering of her grandson.
larasaty, the commander's first wife, grabs Aum's tiny body.
'if Aum can survive to the end, mother Laras will give Aum a lot of riding shoes'
aum's eyes sparkled brightly, subconsciously looking for the whereabouts of his birth mother.
' your sister agreed? ' asked Laras to Sandrani Aum's mother.
Sandrani approves the decision of her husband's first wife, she realizes that everything in her daughter's growth is no longer her right as a concubine in this great household.
