*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*
After traveling two days and two nights, the entourage of Empress Sandaria finally arrived in front of a large house that was quite large in its yard. The house is made of strong wood but still hard ground floor, so it looks a number of cots on the terrace and edge of the yard in the shade of a large tree.
It was the residence of Senopati Duri Manggala in Jayamata, the capital of the Baturaharja Kingdom.
As usual, Sandaria will not be separated from the togetherness of the five wolves named Satria, Sheen, Star, Moon, and Belang.
Satria is the largest wolf and the leader of the other wolves. All the wolf fur that was bigger than the horse was pitch-black. His eyes were yellow with red pupils. On his neck was a ring of bells black colored bracelet anyway.
Wolves named Sheen have reddish-yellow fur. His tail was so red that it was like blood red. His eyes are white with red pupils. On his neck was a golden bracelet. It's like a pregnant cow.
A wolf named the Gray-haired Star with purple-colored eyes. He only has a thick leather coat that has a metal bar in the shape of a five-eyed star.
A wolf named Moon hairy white clean red-eyed. There was only a hint of black on the top of the muzzle. The necklace is similar to a Star necklace, but the pendulum is crescent-shaped.
Wolf named Belang hairy black on the head and white on the body and legs. His eyes are blue with black pupils. It is the smallest wolf with a posture as big as an adult horse.
Sandaria sat on Satria's back. Together with the group were twelve horses accompanying, ten of which were soldiers of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom in black-and-black uniforms. The other two are Surya Kasyara who holds the title of Crazy Swordsman Drunk and Sugigi Asmara. Both were members of the Flower Guards Force.
If Surya Kasyara is a handsome young man who always carries a palm roof, then Sugigi Asmara is a barking girl with a front body part also that stands out voluptuously. The girl in light green clothes was twenty-three years old, carrying a keris weapon tucked in her stomach.
As a Flower Controller, Surya Kasyara is paired with Sugigi Asmara who specifically escorts Empress Sandaria if traveling.
“Gusti Senopati! Gusti Senopati!” shouted the two soldiers guarding the courtyard of the house. They panicked in fear as they ran towards the door of the house.
How not to be afraid of five wolves taller than their heads?
Senopati Duri Manggala who just returned from the Palace, was forced to come out again accompanied by his fat wife.
Senopati Duri Manggala is a half-century man who is still dashing with a muscular burly physique. He was wearing no clothes and only black pants. His face was decorated with thick mustaches. There was a silver ring on his head and on both of his sturdy arms.
“What's up, Kutara?” asked Senopati Duri Manggala with a frown to the soldiers of his house.
“We were attacked by stealth creatures, Gusti!” answer the soldier named Kutara.
Senopati Duri Manggala and his wife immediately cast their gaze towards the outside of the courtyard. So surprised the senopati.
Senopati Duri Manggala then stepped away towards the gate of his yard.
And now the senopati stood before Satria.
“Not you...”.
“Aaah, Senopati still remembers me. Hihihi!” sandaria exclaimed then let out a short laugh, cutting off the big man's words.
Sandaria then patted Satria's neck gently. The black wolf then moved down to lower its body. When Satria lowered his body, Sugigi Asmara immediately descended from the back of his horse. He immediately came to hold Sandaria's hand which waved to the side. Sandaria descended gracefully, along with her adorable smile that adorable the eyes of men.
“Will I be welcomed here, Senopati? You should know, right now I am the empress of the Little Sanggana Kingdom,” Sandaria said.
Mendelik surprised Senopati Duri Manggala to hear the status of Sandaria. Moreover, he would not forget the services of the little lady when helping her in the battle on the Hill Path less than a month ago.
“Oh, I'm sorry, Gusti Empress. I do not know the position, Gusti,” said Senopati while hastily respecting.
“Not why, Senopati. My name is Empress Sandaria. I had just become an empress in a newly built kingdom. However, I have a very important affair for me to ask Senopati, so I chose to come alone to the Senopati residence. And I attach importance to see Senopati first than to go to see Prabu Menak Ujung,” said Sandaria.
“Eee better we talk inside only, Gusti Empress,” said Senopati Duri Manggala.
“Good,” says Sandaria.
They then walked into the yard. With the attitude of a queen, Sandaria walked gracefully with the tip of her blue stick placed in front of her step. He walked as usual as one who saw. Senopati Duri Manggala walked by his side.
Behind the empress walked Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara.
“I'm sorry, Gusti. I have not had time to thank Gusti for his help during the war on the Hill Path,”, said Senopati Duri Manggala.
“Sometimes we have to help each other when we face the same enemy,” Sandaria said.
Long story short, Sandaria sat opposite Senopati Duri Manggala on a couch on the porch of the house. In the middle of them was a basket of fruit.
“What I want to ask is that I already know the answer. However, I just want to get the correct information and story from the official Baturaharja,” Sandaria said.
“What does Gusti want to make sure of me?” tanya Senopati Duri Manggala's.
“Tahta Kingdom of Baturaharja. Who is the rightful owner of the throne of Batu Raharja Kingdom?” sandaria asked with a faint smile.
Surprised Senopati Duri Mandala heard the question.
“Pardon me, Gusti. That is a very dangerous question,” said Senopati Duri Manggala with a face turned tense.
“Alright, Senopati. That means you're not willing to tell. Like I said, I already know the answer. However, your concern has answered me that you do know who the rightful heir to the Baturaharja throne is. Hihihi!” sandaria said and laughed.
Sandaria then moved down from her seat on the couch. Sugigi Asmara immediately held one of his lord's hands.
“News about my arrival to the Senopati residence will certainly reach Prabu Menak Ujung. It will certainly raise questions. And it will be even more dangerous for Senopati if I become an enemy for Prabu Menak Ujung. Most likely Senopati will be dragged. I hope Senopati can take the right position from now on. Because, my arrival to meet Prabu Menak Ujung is the beginning of the destruction began. The kingdom of Sanggana Kecil will return the throne to its rightful heir,” Sandaria said.
“What?!” senopati Duri Manggala.
“What Senopati saw in the war on the Hill Path was a small part of the power of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom. Since Senopati is a person who knows the truth, then I dare to open the door for Senopati. I hope Senopati can think about it well,” Sandaria said again.
After saying that, Sandaria stepped towards Satria.
Senopati Duri Manggala only looked at the passing of the magical woman with a raging mind. (BH)
