Forty days have passed since Kama Kumara's death. Princess Anesha Sari has started to open up. This morning he was listening to Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana who reported that the repair of the completely damaged building had been completed.
Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana also hopes Anesha Sari will soon be appointed queen because the day before Prince Trengginas has officially become a disciple of Begawan Teja Surendra.
"Three days from now, Patih Sepuh. Prepare the show in the square and invite all the people."
"Alhamdulillah ... Sendiko dawuh Putri." Patih Labda Lawana's face looked relieved.
"Oh yes, Patih Cousin! Teach me to convert to Islam. I want to remember the late Jaga Saksena and pray for her in each of my rituals."
"Alhamdulilbaullaby 'alamin ... With pleasure, Princess ...."
With tears of joy, Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana began to lead Princess Anesha Sari to say two sentences of shahadah along with her meaning.
Anesha Sari follows the pronunciation of the two sentences of the shahadah smoothly because it has heard the sentence several times during Jaga Saksena. The memory of togetherness with Jaga Saksena was suddenly present, making the princess' eyes feel warm before her tears finally broke.

Begawan Teja Surendra with the Red Swordsman just returned two days ago and rested in the palace guest house. The two of them planned to stay there until Jaga Saksena returned. Because both of them believe Jaga Saksena is not dead.
"I have an inner bond with Jaga Saksena, where she might die without telling me first! He must be alive! I'll wait for him here until anytime!" exclaimed Red Swordsman when informed of the news of death by Officer Aswangga who had recovered and recovered from his wounds.
Officer Aswangga who came with Officer Bentar Buana and Officer Sadaji was silent. They could understand the disbelief of the red-clothed young man. Those who have not long known Jaga Saksena feel lost, especially the Red Swordsman who claimed to have been friends with Jaga Saksena for 7 years.
Pendekar Merah aka Sungsang Gumilang has indeed admitted and told the truth to Aswangga and Bentar Buana that he is not the personal bodyguard of Prince Jaga Saksena. And Jaga is also not a king's son. Even so, the two officers still call Jaga Saksena with the title of prince because it has already been done.
However, Aswangga, Bentar Buana and Sadajiwa could not understand when Begawan Teja Surendra suddenly felt to justify the Red Swordsman's words, saying,
"He does look a little stupid, but what he says is right."
"If what you say is true ..." murmured lirih Aswangga.

Day 41 since the end of Kama Kumara and Jaga Saksena.
The sun had risen in half to its highest point when a strangely dressed human figure bounced high over the high walls of the eastern part of the kingdom. From the lightness of his movements and the fast pace, it was clear he was no ordinary swordsman. Moreover, the figure shouldered a huge deer on his shoulders. The slaughtered deer.
It did not take long, the figure had now walked in the crowd towards the market. What he was carrying and his clothes made from the inner bark of this type of palanquin tree made people pay attention to him. He was a young man, his face clean with very short hair that seemed to have only grown for a few tens of days.
The young man continued to walk quickly, until at the market he headed to a large diner and offered the venison he had brought.
"How much should I buy, young man?" asked the middle-aged man who owned the diner after checking the venison which turned out to be fresh.
"Not enough, Young man. The clothes here are fine, except for the rough clothes that your delicate skin can itch when wearing."
"It's okay, Uncle. That's enough for me."
"Well, take the deer into the kitchen next to the Young Man."
After putting the deer in the kitchen, the young man waited outside the kitchen door quietly.
Before long the man who owned the shop had come out carrying a dark blue shirt as well as pants and a thick cloth belt that he immediately extended to the young man.
"Alhamdulillah. Thanks, Uncle. But wasn't Uncle going to buy a deer that I brought with me in rough clothes? Isn't this too good, Uncle?"
"Your face is clean and handsome, you remind me of my son who died two years ago as a result of being snatched away by a disease, Young Man. If he's alive, he's probably about the same age as you. Considering that, I changed my mind. So accept this garment as payment for your meat," replied the middle-aged man, there was a hint of sadness on his face.
"I'm sorry for reminding you of your late son, Uncle. But I don't want to owe you one, Uncle. Give me some rough clothes for the price of the deer, Uncle." The young man refused subtly.
"There is no debt of gratitude, your husband I appreciate with these clothes! We break even, I get meat and you get clothes. Again I don't want you present in the coronation of the queen in rough clothes. Clothes commonly used to go to the fields. You can be considered a dalit if you wear rough clothes to a folk party!"
"The coronation of the queen, Uncle?"
"Yes, two more days in the square. All citizens are required to attend the people's party. The princess wants everyone to have fun. And," the middle-aged man who owned the diner approached and let out his voice, "I strongly disagree with the name of dalit. If I become a ruler, such a division of swarns will be abolished! Everyone is the same, can't we ever order to be born from the cave garba of the anu or the anu?!"
"You're right, Uncle. Well I'll take this suit as a deer payment. Thank you, Uncle." The young man slightly bowed a sign of respect before flipping over. However,
"Wait, Young Man. If you're the ruler, I hope you'll keep my mind on this."
"Sure, Uncle!" sahut the young man who turned his head then bowed a little while smiling widely.
"Young people today, if answered lightly. Sure talent!" the middle-aged male shop owner then flips his body into the kitchen to order the rickshaw (helper_pen) to skin the deer that his meat will take.
Meanwhile, the strangely dressed young man walked quickly towards the public bath.
Arrive at the public bath,
'Alhamdulillah is deserted!' whispered the young man's heart and opened his top clothes. There was a haunted black axe with a sieve-bender handle tucked in his trouser belt which was also made of wood grain.
The people of the kingdom of Saindara Gumilang were indeed diligent, early in the morning they had finished bathing and washing. It was too late to go to the public bath.
After taking a shower, the young man quickly put on a new bartering outfit with the shop owner and flashed away.
