Crown Prince Sanggana
PHT 15: Lobbying Handsome Teachers
*The Conqueror of the Eastern Forest (PHT)*
That morning, the officials of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom who were heading to the grand congregation in the Mighty Sanggana Hall, were startled by the presence of a giant purple creature in the vast palace courtyard.
The large purple creature had a very thick complexion, standing on eight legs and two short legs at the front. On some parts of his legs and body hairy thick hair dark purple color. The ends of his legs are pointed. The body of the creature is divided into three, namely the head, chest and stomach. The stomach becomes the largest part of the body.
The ten-legged large beast was a giant tarantula-type spider.
Just this time they saw a creature as big as a house and as tall as a coconut tree. So far, the giant animal they have seen is a giant eagle belonging to Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana, named Gimba.
The giant spider beast had been in the palace grounds since midnight.
This morning is the time of the Akbar Session in the Perkasa Sanggana Hall. The officials of the Palace up to the six dukes were present in the session held once a week. The trial was led directly by Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana.
The figure of the purple tarantula also made the warrior splashy. They never knew when the giant beast had come, knowing it was parked in the courtyard. Since there were no signs of security chaos in the Palace, the soldiers did not dare to make a fuss by spreading uncertain news.
Suffice the giant tarantula to be a stunning spectacle for passers-by along the corridors surrounding the palace grounds.
News of the presence of a large guest riding on a giant spider had reached the Cloud Goddess Palace that morning. However, Empress Geger Jagad was not interested in meeting the guest.
If the mother is not interested in meeting the guest, then it is different from the child. Prince Arda Handara was eager to see the giant beast that he said was in the courtyard.
Because on that morning there was an education class at the Sovereign of Virtue, so Prince Arda Handara did not directly express his intentions to the mother. His departure from the Palace of the Cloud Goddess remains titled “ went to study to the Sovereign of Virtue” which was escorted by two of his speakers.
The road to the Sovereign of Virtue did not pass through the front area of the Palace, so could not see directly the giant animals in the courtyard.
“Uncle Gogol, later the animals go home first,” said Arya Handara.
“Gusti Prince should learn first. Today there is an important lesson and there is a memorandum to be deposited to Guru Handsome,” said Setya Gogol.
“Iya. Geger Jagad's mother also said that we must report the learning results of Gusti Raden every day,” said Lantera Pyar also.
“Aaah, it sucks,” grumbled Arda Handara with a pretty face. Then he shouted suddenly, “Lariiii!”
Arda Handara suddenly ran fast leaving the two drivers, but the direction of the run remained towards the Sovereign of Virtue.
“Gusti Prince!” shouted Setya Gogol and Pyar Lanterns then agreed to pursue together, but not hand in hand.
“Hahaha!” Arda Handara laughed.
The chase happens. The soldiers they passed or met, could only look at the actions of the prince and the two drivers.
Arda Handara is not misguided. He is really heading to the Sovereign of Virtue.
Pendapa Kebihan is a medium-sized pendapa but looks luxurious with its expensive architectural style. Made of high quality wood decorated with beautiful carving art. The pendapa walled only knee-high was supported by six white poles.
The Sovereign of Virtue is where the princes and princesses, as well as the children of the officials living within the palace grounds attend school. They were educated directly by a young and handsome teacher named Lanang Jagad.
Lanang Jagad has the nickname The Handsome Sakti or Young Resi. He came from Padepokan Hati Putih and was a student of the late Resi Tambak Boyo.
Since Lanang Jagad agreed to teach literacy and other fields in the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom, he and his wife lived in the Palace area.
Upon the arrival of Arda Handara in the Priestess of Virtue, there were already several of his younger siblings with the speaker, including several children from the royal office. However, the class has not started yet, as it is still a few minutes away.
“Rear Arda!” call the Prince of Vibrating Jagad who sees the arrival of his brother.
However, Arda Handara did not reply. He continued to run past in front of his sisters to go to the Young Teacher's House, Lanang Jagad's residence behind the Benevolent Father.
“Where is Arda going?” ask Putri Hijau Sukma to the driver.
“Maybe want to meet Young Master,” replied the female speaker.
“Where is Gusti Prince Arda?” ask the Pyar lantern to a fellow driver. He arrived late in front of the Sovereign of Virtue.
“It looks like to the Young Teacher's Guesthouse,” replied the driver of Putri Hijau Sukma.
“Teacher Handsome! Handsome Teacher!” shouted Arda Handara calling, while running into the Young Master's House.
Suddenly the young man immediately took off his embrace on the wife. Both of them were immediately misbehaved.
The young man was none other than Young Master Lanang Jagad and his wife, Rara Sutri who nicknamed Princess Cemeti Bulan and was the elder brother of Surya Kasyara.
“Prince Arda! Why go straight in?” hardik Lanang Jagad, the teacher, but not too angry.
“Hahahak!” Arda Handara laughed out loud.
However, without feeling guilty or criticizing the behavior of his teacher just now, Arda Handara immediately played his strategy.
“Teacher, teacher! Let's sit down!” said Arda Handara while pulling the teacher's right hand to sit together on the floor.
With a look of astonishment, Lanang Jagad whose skin is now whiter than ten years ago, came to sit opposite the handsome boy.
“What's up? Don't tell me you want to avoid depositing shipping,” asked Lanang Jagad suspiciously.
“Like this, Guru,” said Arda Handara while looking up at the ceiling, as if looking for the right sentence arrangement.
Meanwhile, Setya Gogol and Pyar Lanterns appear in the front doorway. They stopped when they saw Arda Handara sitting opposite her teacher.
“Teacher once taught, do not waste the opportunity to get knowledge that is rare,” said Arda Handara.
“True,” said Lanang Jagad confirming.
“I suddenly got a brilliant idea, Guru,” said Arda Handara.
“What idea?” ask the teacher with a suspicious look. He knew that Arda Handara was an intelligent child, but his intelligence was often misused.
“In the Palace court today there is a giant spider, Master,” said Arda Handara again.
“Iya, Master knows.”
“Those rare animals, not necessarily we can meet for the second time, Master. So ...”
“So what?”
“Before the great beast leaves and we never see it, better Master seize the opportunity. The teacher invited the students to see the beast, Master. I'm sure, my friends will be very happy,” said Arda Handara.
“This must be just your ploy, Prince. Actually you're the one who really wants to see the giant beast. Right?” tukas Lanang Jagad Hotel.
“Hehehe!” Arda Handara laughed in surprise.
“Good, collect disciples. Today's lesson is to study the giant spider,” Lanang Jagad set out.
“Young Teacher is indeed a wise teacher!” shouted Arda Handara then suddenly pounced hugging her teacher who was just silently glaring.
The cup!
Arda Handara even kissed the teacher's left cheek.
“It's already been. Go, tell the other students,” said Lanang Jagad.
“Hahaha! Thank you, Master!” arda Handara was so happy. He then stood up to leave.
“Prince Arda, you're left behind,” said Lanang Jagad as he moved his left shoulder.
On the left shoulder of Lanang Jagad there is indeed a black caterpillar with a yellow bottle is moving creeping.
“Basic uyut-uyut naughty!” rutuk Arda Handara's. “Sorry, Master.”
Arda Handara then took the caterpillar from his teacher's shoulder. After that he immediately turned around.
Lanang Jagad just bobbing head looking at the pyses of his students. (BH)
