JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Great Plan of Mpu Karnikeswara

Besur grumbled as he threw a piece of dry wood into the fireplace that began to shrink the fire. Even though he had cooked some grilled corn, but it turned out that he was still grumbling uncharacteristically.

"You why Sur? Your lips are so taper?", asked Gendol who was busy flipping young corn over the fireplace.

"We were told to keep watch, eh Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya even engrossed with his wives. This is very unfair" Besur replied as he continued to coagulate the grilled young corn that was still pumping the hot steam into his mouth.

"Lha the name we are also courtiers, so yes must sendiko dawuh the same order. We must not protest because this has become our responsibility as the courtier Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.

Later if it has risen in rank as Demung or Tumenggung, of course we will not serve like this anymore. So just go through the process and enjoy. Everything will be beautiful in time" said Gendol casually.

Hearing that answer, Besur gawked. Even his grilled corn to the ground fell into the courtyard beside this Katang-katang Palace. Not only Besur, Baratwaja was also involved in staring at the Rare Teeth Swordsman. The big white tiger who had just slept curled up immediately raised his head and stared at the tall man.

Aware of being the gaze of everyone's eyes, Gendol immediately turned to look at them.

"Why you?! Is there something wrong with my talk?"

"Wrongly not, but tumben once you speak properly like that. What are you eating Ndol?", asked Baratwaja immediately.

"Damn you..

I'm just talking about our obligations as courtiers, uh you guys are being ridiculed like that. Truly a friend of the curse.", grumbled Gendol who was greeted with a smile by Besur and Baratwaja.

From the side, Wara Andhira came carrying a tray containing several pieces of boiled cassava and ripe bananas. A jug of drinking water was also there.

"Eh female powered elephant..

Why are you coming here? Doesn't Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya not obligate you to be on guard here?", Besur open your voice.

"One time join you guys cooking can't?

I still can't sleep anyway. It was still too late to rest", Wara Andhira immediately put a tray containing this food to the side of Baratwaja. This son of Mapatih Mpu Baprakeswara immediately took a piece of boiled cassava and ate it.

"Don't you envy Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya's affection?

Uh tonight he must be busy making love with one of his beautiful wives", Besur's speech immediately made Wara Andhira's face red, red, but the beautiful woman immediately turned her face the other way. But unfortunately, that direction is the direction of the bedroom of Dewi Rengganis. Sayup-sayup heard a groaning sound from that place.

Hearing that, I don't know what Wara Andhira is feeling, but she blushes her face even more. Besur did not let go of this opportunity to corner it all out.

"Ehehehehehehehe, why is your face so red, Andhira?

You must have heard it, right? It must be Gusti Prince Mapanji Jayabaya is making out with his wife. Don't be envious, huh? Whehehehehehe.", Besur chuckled small.

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

"Who is jealous? I-I don't feel envious of kog", Wara Andhira stammered as she spoke.

"Ah where might not be envious? Try to listen to the sound of a moaning sound from the bedroom Gusti Putri Dewi Rengganis. Must be now Gusti Prince is gently stroking Gusti Putri's hair, then slowly his hands fumbled ma'am..... Heyeeeeeppppphh!!!"

Besur had not finished speaking as a piece of boiled cassava floated into his mouth. He almost protested against what had happened to him, but he immediately abandoned his intentions after seeing Wara Andhira sniffing a cry on her.

"Your mouth is more than a woman's mouth. Basic perverted man.", having said so, Wara Andhira breezed away leaving the place immediately.

"Sur Besur, you are indeed smart to look for because.

The three of them accompanied by a large white tiger continued to talk about many things until it did not feel midnight before arriving. After that, they also took turns to stand guard around Katang-katang Palace until morning came.

That morning, after breakfast with his four wives, Prince Mapanji Jayabaya called all state officials at Katang-katang Palace. This was in accordance with the rule that if the king was sick, then all the workload and obligations would be the responsibility of the crown prince.

At the Katang-katang Palace Pendopo, Jaka Umbaran aka Prince Mapanji Jayabaya sits dashing on the throne of the crown prince. Beside him, there were Dewi Rengganis and Dyah Pandan Wangi who accompanied.

While the nayaka such as Mahamantri Katrini consisting of Mahamantri I Halu Mapanji Samya Gunung, Rakryan Rangga Mapanji Amaraha, Rakryan Kanuruan Mpu Karnikeswara Matanggalkana, Rakryan Rangga Mapanji Amaraha, Mapatih Mpu Baprakeswara and Rakryan Juru Mapanji Kambadaha were also seen sitting in accordance with the order of their respective departures.

In addition to them, it appears that Tumenggung Mapanji Baguna as the security leader of Kotaraja Daha, Senopati Agung Sembada and also Tumenggung Setawardana as the leader of the telik codenamed Lowo Bengi Special Forces were also present at the place. Also some of the Juru and Demung such as Besur, Baratwaja, Wijayaprabhu and Balarama.

All of them sat cross-legged in their respective places quietly, waiting for the crown prince of the Kingdom of Panjalu.

Mmmmmm...

There was a heavy snorting sound from Prince Mapanji Jayabaya as if there was a heavy burden that he was now carrying.

"Because Kanjeng Father Prabu Bameswara is ill, then for a while, the control of the government of the Kingdom of Panjalu is in my hands. I hope you all can help me run the wheels of this royal government well" said Jaka Umbaran, who started the meeting that morning.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", said the compact of all people who exist while worshiping Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.

"I had heard the news that the Jenggala Kingdom army was moving around the border of Hantang and Matahun. From the team telik candi, has there been any news?", Jaka Umbaran stared at Tumenggung Setawardana.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

Our spies have reported that the Jenggala soldiers are already on alert around the Hantang region precisely at Ranu Mendalan. They said, the number is quite large, almost about 40 thousand soldiers.

Meanwhile, from Matahun, a number of suspicious movements began to be seen. There were several small groups disguised as farmers, starting to move towards Kotaraja Daha. We checked it but found nothing but rice and some cloth. But we are worried, there are already moving first to Kotaraja Daha whether it is by river or land. So far we are trying to continue to increase the investigation of the wave of movement of these farmers", Tumenggung Setawardana worshiped Prince Mapanji Jayabaya after ending his report.

Mmmmmm..

"It looks like they've prepared this so thoroughly that we can't get any evidence to counter their movements. At this time all we can do is apply strict guard around the Kotaraja Daha area.

As for the affairs of their troops in Hantang, I myself will lead our troops to expel them", said Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"We understand the Gusti Prince", said everyone while saluting the crown prince.

"In addition, to increase our fighting strength, I appointed Gendol as Demung, Besur and Baratwaja as the new Tumenggung in the Panjalu army.

Furthermore, Demung Gendol will serve as the head of my personal bodyguard. While Tumenggung Besur and Baratwaja will lead the troops from Kayuwarajan Kadiri as a reserve force that will be ready to be used if at any time there is a surprise attack from Jenggala", hearing the crown prince's edict, he said, Gendol immediately smiled widely. Besur and Baratwaja. The three immediately crouched down and worshiped Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.

"Thank you for Gusti Prince's generosity".

So that day, Jaka Umbaran brought dozens of Panjalu soldiers moving towards Ranu Mendalan which has a border between the Kingdom of Panjalu and Jenggala. In the high-ranking officer order, it appears Tumenggung Besur, Tumenggung Baratwaja and Demung Gendol were seen leading the Panjalu soldiers who numbered about 50 thousand people under the control of Senopati Agung Sembada. In addition to them, a large white tiger and Wara Andhira also accompanied the journey of Jaka Umbaran.

After the great army was set off, Rakryan Kanuruan Mpu Karnikeswara smiled widely at his sight. A grand plan that he had been putting together for a long time, could finally be implemented immediately.

While clenching his hands tightly, he looked towards the departure of Jaka Umbaran with the Panjalu soldiers while saying,

"Kotaraja Daha is empty. The lions of this palace have come out of the cage.

It's time to execute my plan!"
