Crown Prince Sanggana
First 28: Hostage to the Mahapatih Family
*The Adventures of the Crown Prince (Pertamak)*
In front of the castle fortress has lined up about two thousand soldiers in a single army led by Mahapatih Duri Manggala. Not yet the return of Senopati Beling Tuwak makes Prabu Banggarin keep the mahapatih to lead the troops to go to the Duchy of Kedaweng.
Mahapatih appeared in his war dress on his chariot which had a wide umbrella on it, as wide as a beach umbrella.
Meanwhile, above the castle fortress, Prabu Banggarin was seen accompanied by two Empresses of the Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil and other officials, standing to watch the departure of the troops.
When Mahapatih Duri Manggala was preparing on his horse-drawn carriage, a riding commander was fleeing his horse in front of the troops while shouting.
“Prepare yourself!” shouted the commander.
“Siaaap!” shouted the soldiers whose adrenaline began to burn.
“Prepare yourself!” the commander shouted again while pointing to other parts of the force, similar to the band's vocalist singing the audience.
“Siaap!” yell them simultaneously. Many voices echoed into the Palace to the Capital market which began to operate again after the war that almost happened before.
“Destroy rebels!” shouted the commander again.
“Destroy, destroy, destroy!” shouting troops.
“Destroy rebels!”
“Destroy, destroy, destroy!”
Suddenly a soldier came running towards the war chariot Mahapatih Duri Manggala.
“Lapooor, Gusti Mahapatih!” shouted the soldier while kneeling in respect with a tense face. Before Mahapatih asked, the soldier continued his report, “Humah Gusti Mahapatih was attacked by a swordsman!”
“What?!” mahapatih Duri Manggala. Then his order, “Tell Commander Sagarang to delay the departure of the troops! Report also to the Commander of Tarikurat!”
“Good, Gusti.”
Mahapatih Duri Manggala quickly jumped far and ran in the air. When he came down, he came back to me far away.
Prabu Banggarin and the people above the fort can only be astonished and wonder to see the departure of the mahapatih.
Gaining information from the ordered soldiers, Commander Sagarang stops his action in burning the spirit of the troops.
Meanwhile, Panglima Tarikurat as the Head of the Capital Security Forces, immediately reported to Prabu Banggarin after getting a report from the ordered soldiers.
Upon arrival at his own residence, Mahapatih Duri Manggala found a number of soldiers guarding his house had been lying dead.
On the back side of the house, precisely near the back door, some people in a condition of kneeling and rested, while their hands and bodies were wrapped around a tight rope. They consist of three women and two men. The men consisted of Mahapatih's wife, Mahapatih's daughter, a maid, and two male servants.
On their side was a chair occupied by a gray-robed grandmother and holding an ordinary wooden stick. Funny thing is, the grandmothers have a cute mouth because they keep moving about without anyone being sucked. He was none other than the Magical Kenyot.
“Gusti Mahapatih!” shouted the wife and daughter of Mahapatih Duri Manggala who was already an old girl. He means only his daughter is still a girl, his wife is not.
“Nimas Gedak Harum! Rara Drizzle!” mahapatih Duri Manggala said the name of his wife and daughter.
The servants of the house do not need to be called, they are familiar if not mentioned because they are just a figurant cast.
“Hey, Granny Chicken Butts! What are you doing in my residence, huh?!” bent Mahapatih Duri Manggala so riled up. However, he could not immediately attack due to fear for the safety of his beloved people.
Actually Mahapatih Duri Manggala has three adult children, one man and two women. Two children are currently studying abroad, one child is now being shackled near the Magical Kenyot.
“Butty bells!” maki Kenyot Occult angry at being called “Grandma Ayam” Butts, then she slapped the air in front of her.
The fax!
The empty space in front of him was slapped, but his power reached the face of the mahapatih who was a few spears in front. To the extent that the dashing old man staggered to the side.
Shocked and flushed the face of Mahapatih Duri Manggala found the facts about the magic of the grandmother he had not known.
“If I can slap you as I please, it means you are not my opponent, Mahapatih,” said Invisible Kenyot. “If you want your wife's child to survive my death hand, bring Little Empress Sanggana here. I want to fight with him!”
Wiped a pair of Mahapatih Duri Manggala eyes, not because of surprise, but because he saw a bright exit. He was very sure that the grandmother's funny mouth did not know very well what kind of worship of the Empress Little Sanggana.
“You don't deserve to go head-to-head with Gusti Empress!” duri Manggala toilet, intended to make the hot heart of the grandmother.
“Then who would be worthy to fight me if not the queen of the bed slaves, huh?! Do you want me to kick it out just to know myself?!” snapped the Occult Kenyot with a thunderous cry.
Suddenly outside the courtyard of the Mahapatih residence came a squad of about three hundred men. The army was led by Commander Tarikurat who rode.
“Tofu!” command of the commander.
The hundreds of troops ran quickly and regularly into the courtyard and laid siege to the position of the Magical Kenyot. While the armed forces of archers moved up to the roof and took a comfortable position to aim.
Visible Invisibility Kenyot did not feel depressed or intimidated by the arrival and threat of the troops. He doesn't look happy either.
“Hah! Huh! Huh!” the jolt of the soldiers followed suit while thrusting his spears forward as a form of threat.
The large number of soldiers when compared to the area of the courtyard house whose capacity was inadequate, made the siege three layers formatted and the rest stand guard outside.
However, Magical Kenyot remained seated quietly in his chair with his mouth twitching. He did not need to worry about the threat from those hundreds of soldiers because he had five hostages.
“You're still standing there, Mahapatih?” ask the Magical Kenyot to the Mahapatih who stands in the circle of siege.
Wut! Bdak!
“Akk!” screeched one of the male servants when his forehead was hit by the wooden staff of the Magical Kenyot that suddenly shook to the side.
The middle-aged man, less than ten years old, was strangled with a torn forehead skin, becoming swollen and bleeding.
“Stop!” exclaim Mahapatih Duri Manggala fast. “Do not hurt any of them. I'll be bringing Gusti Empress!” soon
“Quickly, I can't wait to wait!” the Order of the Magical Kenyot.
“Commander, no one attacks. You do not harm them,” Mahapatih's orders to Tarikurat refer to the hostages.
“Good, Gusti,” says Pullurat.
Mahapatih Duri Manggala quickly jumped over the heads of the soldiers. He landed directly on the horse back belonging to Tarikurat, as if it had been set first.
“Hia hi!” mahapatih Duri Manggala shouted his horse to run as fast as possible.
The mahapatih went straight to the gate of the Palace. The troops who were still marching in front of the Palace fortress passed through it without a care. All the respect of the soldiers guarding each gate and archway within the Palace's surroundings did not make it easy to run horses.
It turned out that Prabu Banggarin and the officials were no longer on top of the castle fortress. They have returned to the main recorder, waiting for a report on the next developments.
“Hey, you!” call the Magical Kenyot to the Commander of Tarikurat.
The commander of Tarikurat did not reply, he just looked sharply at the old swordsman.
“Rather than you standing like a bego piggy bank, better order people to provide me drinking water,”, said Kenyot Unseen casually. “Do not arrive because of your stupidity there are dead soon.”
“Gareng Bulak, get me a drink for that granny!” command Commander Tarikurat to his assistant, without taking his eyes off the grandmother.
“Good, Gusti!” said the young soldier with a snubbed nose on the side of Tarikurat.
“If you have poison, poison the drink!” another commandment of the Torah heard by everyone.
“Do not try! I tell all of you, I can smell poison as subtle as its nature!” snapped Invisible Kenyot. “Don't till I kick you, Warrior!”
It felt like most of the soldiers in the army were laughing watching that tense, untenable scene. However, they should know the situation. Therefore, they just smile widely without a sound, as smooth as the sound of a digital machine.
So, the soldier named Gareng Bulak immediately went into the house through the back door that went directly to the kitchen of the Mahapatih house.
Gareng Bulak came out with a clay jug which he then handed over to the Magical Kenyot. No unwanted things happen, the situation is still under control. Gareng Bulak returned to his position on the side of the Commander.
Magical Kenyot first brings his nostrils closer to the mouth hole of the jug. He wanted to know if the water was poisoned or just a joke.
Nyot nyot nyot …!
After making sure that the water is safe, the grandmother then pushed tight. However, the mouth of the jug which is also monty, is located two jengkal under his chin. So, not looking up.
Amazingly, the water inside the pitcher comes out and rises itself into a small hole in the lip that wags. It was as if the Magical Kenyot was being sucked up using a magical straw.
“It seems like someone is looking for Little Empress Sanggana,” said one melodious-sounding female voice.
“Uhhuk uhhuk!” cough Disgust Kenyot because of being sucked by water because surprised to hear the sound.
“Riding day and night through mountains and valleys, bathed in rain studded with earth dust. Hoping that the heart would meet the brave bachelor, but it turns out that waiting for an old woman rentah,” the poem of Empress Kerling Sukma who sat on the back of a horse behind a line of soldiers.
“Hmm!” muttered the Invisible Quail when he saw the beautiful figure of a bright green-eyed beauty, who when it came the sound of running his horse was not heard. (BH)
