Crown Prince Sanggana
Next Post 1: Sheep Arrive in the Capital City
*Pay Killer Forces (Buyards)*
The Gate of the Sky Tiger north of the capital city of Sanggara.
A soldier came hastily to the officer Basahan who was in the barracks.
“Gusti, there is an old swordsman named Sheep Red Nose wants to enter the Capital. Said he wanted to meet Gusti Prabu,” reported the soldier.
“Red Nose Sheep?” re-call Officer Basahan. He looked up, showing that he was thinking, but he was not a thinker. “Red Nose Sheep, Red Nose Sheep.”
Suddenly Officer Basahan woke up with a quick movement, it seemed like he had remembered something. However, he did not head directly towards the Gate of the Heavenly Tigers, but instead entered into the barracks. The soldier was confused and chose to wait.
Officer Basahan entered his study. Consider it his office space. He went straight to the corner of the room, where there was a pile of wooden crates.
Officer Basahan opened one of the crates and took a roll of the spit ties. The opening of the bonds and read a series of existing writings.
“Red Nose Sheep,” said Officer Basahan while reading in his heart looking for a name he called. His index finger pointed at the list of names listed one by one. “This is it, Red Nose Sheep. He is included in the Kingdom blacklist.”
Officer Basahan immediately tidied up the ejection and the chest returned. After that, he hurried out.
From the barracks.
“Teams!” shouted Officer Basahan authoritatively.
Dozens of soldiers who are in relaxed mode because they are in a period of rest, immediately resurrected. They moved hurriedly grabbing each other's spears and shields.
Not until thirty seconds, dozens of Sky Tiger Gate Guard warriors had lined up. They immediately walked together following their commander, although their footsteps were not in rhythm, the important thing was not to hit each other.
The distance of the barracks with the north gate was not so far away, so it wasn't long to get there. Through the small door that was on the side of the large gate, they went out to the front of the gate.
In front of the gate, other than the bustling of the people taking care of the administration going in and out of the Capital City, there was one person and an animal was in waiting time. The figure of a big man sitting on a big sheep.
The figure of the red-nosed burly grandfather was none other than the Red Nose Lamb, the Head of Bulukempis Village of the Baturaharja Kingdom.
Officer Basahan walked gallantly and stopped a few spears in front of the two sheep. While more than twenty spearheaded and masked soldiers formed two safes behind the officer.
The Red Nose Lamb then came down from his mount.
“Red Nose Sheep Elders, what do you mean Elders come to the Capital?” ask Officer Basahan.
“I want to send a message to Gusti Prabu Dira Pratakarsa. I brought a message from Gusti Empress Geger Jagad,” replied the Red Nose Sheep.
“Tetua is one of those who are included in the blacklist of the Kingdom of Little Sanggana. Perhaps even the Elder knew, that all the Elders' words would not be trusted by the Palace. And that applies to the soldiers of Sanggana Kecil,” said Officer Basahan.
“I know. However, I have a password that can show that I was indeed sent by Gusti Empress Geger Jagad. Wasn't Gusti the Empress not in the Palace and was on her way with her son?” the Red Nose Lamb is not out of sense.
Silence Officer Basahan for a moment. He confirmed the old swordsman's question.
“What password do the Elders mean?” ask Officer Basahan.
“The message I brought was a very secret message. You have absolutely no right to know that password,” said the Red Nose Sheep.
“Then what do you want Elders?” ask Officer Basahan.
“If I am indeed forbidden to enter, at least you convey my arrival to Gusti Prabu. I have a message that I must not be late to deliver. It's about a very big thing,” said the Red Nose Sheep. “If until bad things happen only because of your delay in conveying my arrival, then you are the cause.”
The eyes of the Basahan Officer heard the words Red Nose Sheep.
“Sial, he cornered me. What if he does bring something very important?” batin Perwira Basahan.
Then he said to the Red Nose Sheep.
“Good, I will convey the presence of the Elders here. I don't want to be blamed if something bad happens. Do not blame me if indeed the Palace rejects the presence and words of the Elders,” Officer Basahan said.
“Good, I'll wait here. If until the morning before there is no Palace person to pick me up, then I consider myself rejected and I am not responsible for the big bad thing that happened,” said the Red Nose Lamb.
Officer Basahan then turned to face his troops.
“Understanding, Officer!” the army sahut was loud and simultaneous, giving a tense atmosphere in front of the Gate of the Sky Tiger.
Officer Basahan then went to pick up the available horses near the checkpoint.
Meanwhile, the Red Nose Sheep chose to go to a more grassy and shady land, so that he could academy and his sheep could graze.
“If not a soldier Sanggana Kecil, I have knocked you into the gate wall,” said Sheep Red Nose softly, without being heard by anyone.
Long story short, the Basahan Officer that afternoon went into the Palace to report about the arrival of the Red Nose Sheep. However, Officer Basahan this time was less fortunate, he was accepted directly by Prabu Dira, though he really hopes to be accepted by Queen Tirana or one of the empresses whose beauty is always a byword among soldiers.
“Telik password has conveyed about the arrival of the Elder of the Red Nose Sheep.”
That was Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana's first comment on the report of the Basahan Officer.
“Hah, if Gusti Prabu already know first, then why do I come to report?” said Officer Basahan, but it was only in the heart.
“However, what thing did the Lamb Elder tell you to convey to me?” ask Prabu Dira.
“Eee it, Gusti. The Sheep Elder said he was sent by Gusti Empress Geger Jagad and he said he had a password as proof that he was sent by Gusti Empress. He also said, carrying a very secret message and should not be late to convey it,” reported Officer Basahan.
“If so, let me come to meet him at the Gate of the Heavenly Tiger, so that the message he brought is not late delivered to me,” said Prabu Dira who made Officer Basahan gasp.
Claps!
So bewildered Officer Basahan because he was left alone. Prabu Dira knew how to disappear like a demon from his seat.
After a wry look at the guard soldiers around the place, finally Officer Basahan decided to get up and step away hesitantly.
Faster than the run of a racing horse, that is the speed of time Prabu Dira reached the Gate of the Sky Tiger. He came without the escort of any soldier or swordsman.
Claps!
Somewhat surprised the Red Nose Sheep saw the appearance of a handsome young man dressed in luxurious and red lips.
“Tua Sheep Red Nose,” greet Prabu Dira who suddenly appeared two spears from the position of the great grandfather.
The Red Nose Sheep did not answer directly. He looked at Prabu Dira. He was guessing who the handsome young man with the face of such a beautiful woman was.
Red Nose Sheep has never met Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana who has the name of the martial world swordsman Joko Calm. However, he had heard that Prabu Dira was a red-lipped man.
“Is he Prabu Dira? Her lips are red. However, where could Prabu Dira come to see me directly at the gate far from the Palace gate?” think Red Nose Sheep.
Seeing the Red Nose Sheep only looking at him with a face that looked worried, Prabu Dira again greeted him with a question.
“Didn't the Red Nose Sheep Elder want to meet me?”
“Eh, i-i-iya,” replied The Red Nose Sheep suddenly stuttered. Then the inner, “Kharisma of this young man is very high, to the point that it makes me stammer like this.”
“Worship our respect, Gusti Prabu!” shouted a warrior leader from a distance away, while descending prostrate on the ground.
“Worship our respect, Gusti Prabu!” shouted all the soldiers of the marching army standing guard in front of the gate. They all bowed down, including the soldiers at the checkpoint who were some distance away from Prabu Dira.
Seeing that, then rest assured the Red Nose Lamb that the handsome young man was Prabu Dira.
“Honor worship servant, Gusti Prabu!” said the Red Nose Sheep while going down on their knees.
“Wake up all of you!” prabu Dira exclaimed to the soldiers. Then he said to the Red Nose Sheep, “Wake up, Elder. Looks like I need a secret message that the Elders brought.”
The Red Nose Sheep immediately got up to stand.
“What password does the Elder have as proof that the Elder was sent by my consort?” ask Prabu Dira.
“Uyut-Uyut,” Reply Red Nose Sheep.
“Hahaha!” tawa Prabu Dira heard the password. (BH)
