*Seteru Two Islands (Sedupa)*
Lampara Kingdom really feel hit by a disaster in a row. After half of the Peak Palace was burned, then dealing with Goddess Ara and her followers, then Princess Uding Kemala was kidnapped, and the latest was the killing of Prince Bangir Kukuh without knowing who killed him.
Unfortunately, at that time there was no detective agency or investigative agency to be asked for the services of the investigation. King Bandelikan and Empress Turi Kumala, who were in a very sad condition, submitted the investigation to Commander Kumbiang and other officials.
The alleged investigation that the perpetrator entered the room of Prince Bangir Kukuh through a secret door in the room. Although they pursue the perpetrator through a secret path, the results remain zero. Even the assumption emerged that the perpetrator was not a distant person because he knew the existence of a secret passage in the room.
Is it possible that Prince Rebak Semilon? Not likely. As far as they knew, Prince Rebak Semilon was on board the Empress Dewi Ara's ship.
Is it possible that Princess Uding Kemala? Not likely. Princess Uding Kemala is an ordinary princess who has no magic or is good at using swords.
Or the other Lampara Royal Family? However, they cannot be accused without evidence and witnesses that they were the perpetrators.
In a short time, the news of Prince Bangir Kukuh's death spread throughout the village to the Port of Manisawe. The Island of Mount Two.
Almost all the soldiers and human resources were deployed to search for the assassin they could not confirm his true identity. So, even though the search was conducted all over Mount Two Island, the result was like looking for a piece of straw in a pile of needles.
As the uproar broke out, the Night Pirates docked at the Port of Manisawe ahead of the magrib.
Before anyone came down from the black ship, Syahbandar Pasir Geni first boarded the ship to meet Goddess Ara, reporting that Prince Bangir Kukuh had been killed by an unknown person.
“What? Brother Prince! Hiks hiks hiks ..!” pekik Putri Uding Kemala was shocked and then cried loudly.
Tadayu immediately hugged her lover to calm her down and became a proper backwood.
After hearing the story of Syahbandar, they all did not comment, but in their hearts they could guess who did it.
So before getting off the ship and going up to Mount Ibu, Dewi Ara called Princess Uding Kemala, Tadayu and Gandang Duko. The only ones in the cabin were Empress Dewi Ara, Princess Uding Kemala, the two youths of Pulau Tujuh Concubine, Tikam Ginting, Eyang Hagara, and Bewe Sereng.
“The three of you can definitely guess who the killer of Prince Lampara,” terka Dewi Ara.
“Prince Rebak Semilon and my sister Princess Gunira,” replied Tadayu.
Princess Uding Kemala who was only silent with still leaving sobs, did not look surprised. That means he guessed too.
“Your arrival to Puncak Palace is right to be blamed and accused of murder. Obviously that would mess up the plan you put together. I'm just suggesting, if you want everything to go back well, then Mount Two Island and Seven Concubines Island can make peace with your marriage, then negotiate a new plan. My task is only to bring you in front of the King of Bandelikan without interfering with the problems that are happening. It is not I who will ride with you, but Prince Bewe Sereng and Tikam Ginting who will escort you up. After we hand you over, next your business,” said Dewi Ara.
“Good, Gusti Empress,” said Tadayu.
So, the three men also consulted to arrange a strategy. In this momentum, Tadayu had to persuade Princess Uding Kemala to keep a secret and be able to work together. If not, the problem can get worse.
Somewhat long they deliberated until finally the three were sure to face the King and Empress in a state of chaos Kingdom.
After reporting the plan they agreed to Dewi Ara, Bewe Sereng and Tikam Ginting escorted Tadayu, Gandang Duko and Putri Uding Kemala up to Mount Ibu.
Just for information, Tadayu and Princess Uding Kemala have dressed like a prince and princess. Tadayu dressed neatly in white-white as a flag ceremonial uniform and Putri Uding Kemala dressed in orange. Both are like salted eggs cleaved if they walk side by side.
When they arrived at the Peak Palace, they were immediately greeted with the siege of dozens of soldiers led directly by the Commander of Kumbiang. That night had just come without a welcome.
“Hold, Commander!” bewe Sereng. “We came in peace!”
Somewhat far behind the Kumbiang Commander appeared King Bandelikan and Empress Turi Kumala under the illumination of two large torches. Both of them put on angry faces. It happened because they placed great suspicion on the group.
“Ibundaa!” pekik Putri Uding Kemala while running through the siege.
“Gusti Prabu, Gusti Empress Dewi Ara has kept her promise by bringing Princess Uding Kemala home safely. We have taken the two kidnappers in front of Gusti Prabu. Then the completion of our Lord's appointment. And we beg to withdraw!” tikam Ginting. The siege made their distance rather far from the position of King Bandelikan.
“Wait!” exclaimed King Bandelikan, making Tikam Ginting and Bewe Sereng undo the intention to leave. “Why are those two criminals not shackled?”
“Because they are not criminals. They are just two young men who are suffering from crazy love,” said Tikam Ginting.
Wuss!
Tikam Ginting then turned around and immediately shook his hands, releasing a high-powered wind that flew for a moment the soldiers in that direction.
Furthermore, Tikam Ginting flashed swiftly leaving the place heading into the darkness of the night.
Claps!
Bewe Sereng also vanished like a demon, making the ruling couple and his army glare in shock.
Stay Tadayu and Gandang Duko who are in the siege of the soldiers. However, it was clearly seen that the condition did not intimidate their hearts. The two stood quietly without putting up any horses to fight.
“Capture those two kidnappers!” shouted King Bandelikan gave orders to his troops.
However, before Commander Kumbiang commanded his troops, there were still obstacles.
“Do not!” yelled Putri Uding Kemala toned. “Kakak Tadayu is my future husband!”
“Appa?!” shock King Bandelikan and his wife.
“Pardon the servant, Majesty the King. We are both princes of the Island of Seven Concubines!” exclamation Tadayu.
“Appa?!” Back the married couple was shocked, even showing an expression of discomfort.
“I love your daughter. Because maybe I won't be accepted as the prince of the Island of Seven Concubines, so I kidnapped Princess Uding to marry her!” added Tadayu.
“Never!” king Bandelikan shouted very angry, until his saliva spurted and his face trembled. His eyes also looked very bright and red.
“Ayahanda!” call Putri Uding Kemala crying.
“While Lampara Kingdom is much weaker than the people of Seven Consorts Island, still I will never reconcile, let alone until it unites the two royal families. Moreover, surely you are the killers of my son Prince Bangir Kukuh!” said Raja Bandelikan full of emotional. Maybe he'll be in the Imaging Cup nomination.
“Not, Father. Father's accusation was wrong, not Tadayu's brother. We are all together with Empress Dewi Ara in the ocean in this day,” denied Princess Uding Kemala fast. He sketched out the plan they had designed.
“Kanda King, don't be dark minded. If Kanda Raja makes an accusation against a person who is not the culprit, it means that the killer will be free forever,” Empress Turi Kumala said gently while holding her husband's arm, trying to calm down.
King Bandelikan was silent at the words of his wife. Actually in his heart he doubted that the two young men had a strong alibi. When Prince Bangir Kukuh was killed, they were in the middle of the sea with the entourage of Goddess Ara. His unfounded establishment was only filled with hostility to the Island of the Seven Consorts.
“Where might we kill the Prince if I really want to marry his sister?” tadayu exclaimed to increase the pressure so that the mind of King Bandelikan could be straight quickly.
“If Your Majesty is willing to grant Prince Tadayu marriage to Princess Uding Kemala, then we can help find the Prince's killer. We are both highly devoted, so we both have more abilities than the officers that His Majesty has!” This time it was Gandang Duko. He said with confidence.
“Good!” reply King Bandelikan fast. Then he said again, “If you can find the killer, and the killer is not a Seven Concubines person, then I will bless my daughter to marry you, Tadayu!”
In the hearts of Tadayu, Gandang Duko and Putri Uding Kemala. The answer from the King of Bandelikan as expected. There is still a second stage that they must do, which is to find the killer of Prince Bangir Kukuh whom they have given his name. For that stage, enough Tadayu and Gandang Duko who work. Princess Uding Kemala shut up enough, do not let their charade leak. (BH)
