8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
BMP 6: Akbar's Court
*Defender Red Lips (BMP)*
That morning, all the officials of the Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil were present in the main hall called Sanggana Perkasa Hall. This trial can be called a grand trial, because high officials to village level officials are present. They each wore their best clothes. They stood in a line facing the still-empty throne.
Gong!
Suddenly one punch of the gong sounded loud, even surprising some of the officials present. Indeed, it was the first time that the nuances of the meeting and the procedure were so formal, to the point of giving nervousness to those who were just the first time officials.
“Yang Mulia Gusti Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana and Gusti Ratu Getara Cinta, with six consorts, arrivedaa!” shouted the protocol warriors of the Palace.
From the right front corner of the large room appeared Prabu Dira with a complete appearance as a king, complete with his crown made of gold without decorated with jewels. He was so handsome and dashing full of authoritative charisma. Not only are women tempted to have it, but men are envious of its luck. They assumed that Joko Calm was the luckiest man in the world, as they measured that luck only by throne, treasure and woman.
Prabu Dira walks in accompanied by Queen Getara Love who is so beautiful. Behind the two runs six other queens, who are “too, late and pretty”. The six consorts were Empress Yuo Kai, Empress Tirana, Empress Kerling Sukma, Empress Nara, Empress Sandaria, and Empress Kusuma Dewi.
Behind that elegance and beauty lies an indisputable power. One empress only has high magic, what would happen if the whole worship was united.
Not only that number of groups, behind there is a row of maids from the Queen and the empresses. Each of the two maids represents one empress.
“Sincerely!” shout protocol Palace.
“Hormah worship for Gusti Prabu Dira!” said the entire official while going down on one knee and head lowered deeply with both palms met in front of the forehead. “May Gusti Prabu always prosper!”
Prabu Dira and Queen Getara Cinta went to her throne, while the other six queens went to the row of luxurious seats on the right side. After Prabu Dira sat on his throne, the Queen and her six consorts sat down. While the ladies stand behind the Queen's seat and the queens.
“Rise and sit down!” prabu Dira's orders to all his officials.
So, the officials moved to stand up straight, then down to sit cross-legged, both men and women.
Prabu Dira then looked at Mahapati Turung Gali, then gave a nod as a sign. Apart from being mahapati, Turung Gali is also the father-in-law of Prabu Dira as he is the father of Empress Tirana.
“The Mighty Sangana Conference begins!” mahapati Turung Gali.
“Good. The first important thing I want to convey to you is the presence of the First Empress, Empress Yuo Kai, in our midst. First Empress I appointed as Minister of Law and Policy of the Palace. I also set all the empresses as the Law Board of Lesser Sangana, which is in charge of formulating various regulations and laws in the Lesser Sangana. The results of the regulation will be authorized by the Minister of Law on the basis of my approval. And I also appointed the Fifth Empress as the Chief Justice!” exclaimed Prabu Dira quite excited as the opening session.
“Thank you for Gusti Prabu's trust!” said the empresses as she got down on her knees from her seat.
“Build you all, my soulmate!” prabu Dira said trying a romantic taste. Then he said to Mahapati Turung Gali, “Deliver your report, Mahapati!”
“Thank you, Gusti Prabu,” said Mahapati Turung Gali. He then began his report, “Two duchies have been formed, namely the Duchy of Mount Prabu with three villages and the Eternal Night Duchy with two villages. In the Fire Cave there is an oil and gold mine. The Demon Conquering Spirit who had been guarding the place had given the cave and its contents to the Kingdom. However, the mine cannot be managed yet as we have to wait for the mining expert from the Windscreen Kingdom. While in the Eternal Night Duchy led by Duke Ririn Salawi, ..”.
“Shortly!” exclaim Prabu Dira cut the narration of Mahapati Turung Gali. “I want to know Duke Ririn Salawi nicknamed Lifesaving!”
“Who is the guy, Gusti Prabu!” sahut a beautiful woman of mature age while bringing together both palms in front of the head. The beautiful woman with a pink nose was dressed in all red, matching her pink-lipped makeup. Her hair was curled over her head, revealing her two clear blue-eyed studs. There was a gold necklace on her white neck.
“Beautiful woman. Welcome to join the class of the magicians, Duke,” said Prabu Dira who was preceded by praise, making Ririn smile.
“Thank you, Gusti Prabu,” said Ririn Salawi. As a woman, she was amazed by her good looks.
“Continue, Mahapati!” self Prabu Order.
“Thus, now Sanggana Kecil neighbors the Walangan and Baturaharja Kingdom. Rightly so?” ask Prabu Dira.
“True, Gusti Prabu,” replied Mahapati Turung Gali.
“We must establish good relations with the neighbors, so that what we have we can sell more widely and what we need from them can strengthen us. Tomorrow I and the Second Empress will go to pick up the eighth empress candidate. Because my departure this time could have taken death, then from now on I announce, if there is death to me, then the Fifth Empress who will take control of the supreme power of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom!”
“Hamba will obey the decree, Gusti Prabu,” said Empress Nara.
“At the time of my departure to the Demon Kingdom, I ordered the Seventh Empress to go to Walangan Kingdom to introduce our kingdom to its ruler. I also ordered the Sixth Empress to go to Baturaharja Kingdom and investigate the matter of Princess Wilasin. If later it turns out to be certain that the throne is the property of Princess Wilasin, then we will dethrone the king!”
Surprised Duke Prince Kubur to hear Prabu Dira's decision.
The Duke of the Burial Prince was an old man in his sixty years. He was dressed in black and nice. Her gondrong hair that was dominated by white color was neatly combed back. His left hand had long, purplish-colored nails.
“Please, Gusti Prabu!” said the Duke of Pangeran Kubur while menjura respect.
“Yes, what's up, Duke?” ask Prabu Dira.
“Please servant is included in the issue of the throne of the Kingdom of Baturaharja,” said Duke Prince Kubur.
“What is the Duke's reason that I should include you?” ask Prabu Dira.
“I am Prabu Banggarin, father of King Arta Pandewa who was overthrown by Menak Ujung. I am the grandfather of Princess Wilasin,” replied the Duke of the Burial Prince.
Surprised Prabu Dira and some of his consorts, including other officials.
“You can prove yourself as the grandfather of Princess Wilasin, Duke?” ask Prabu Dira.
“Your Highness Gusti Fifth Empress knows who I am, Gusti Prabu,” said the Duke of the Burial Prince.
Prabu Dira and the others immediately turned to look at Empress Nara.
“What the Duke of the Burial Prince said is true, Gusti Prabu,” Empress Nara said before her husband asked her.
“Why did the Fifth Empress not tell me about the identity of the Prince of Burying? I feel guilty giving him an unworthy position,” said Prabu Dira.
“I want the Duke himself who revealed his identity to Gusti Prabu,” kilah Empress Nara.
“Alright, forgive me for giving you an unworthy position, Prabu Banggarin. But I have to be patient with that position, when the throne of Baturaharja Kingdom we seize, then the throne will I give you!” said Prabu Dira.
“Thousands of thanks I said to Gusti Prabu,” said the Duke of the Burial Prince.
“Welcome to join my small kingdom, Sipping Physician Getir!” exclaim Prabu Dira greet Tabib Rakitanjamu.
“It is with pleasure that I serve you, Prabu Dira,”, said Tabib Rakitanjamu.
Furthermore, the trial continues for a long time, because there are indeed many things that must be conveyed by officials who ask for orders or directions. (BH)
