We managed to quell the rioters who had made Satria's name bad. We then continued our way back to the palace. As soon as we passed the village, we always stopped by and told the residents that the rioters were not courtiers.

The villagers believe in us unconditionally. But there are also those who believe after a little disagreement. In the fight with society we deliberately did not hurt him, only weakened him from fighting again.

A long and exhausting journey. A week later, we arrived at the palace. Actually the distance between the palace and the prospective location of Prambanan Temple is close. But we decided to travel from village to village to find out the condition of the surrounding community.

Our arrival turned out to have been welcomed by the guards and royal ladies. They sprinkled flowers from the king's city gate towards the palace. It was a beautiful experience for me.

"It's beautiful, like a rain of flowers" I said

"Are you happy, baby?" ask Satria

I just nodded my head and smiled. As soon as we reached the palace gate, we got off the carriage and walked together towards the palace pendopo.

"We must melukat first" said Pasopati

It is the same as cleaning yourself. This is done so that we avoid negative energy because we have traveled far. The royal pandita then presided over the panglukatan ceremony. We're trawling under the jaladwara shower.

"Hail pandita, allow us to perform sanctification" Widasari said

"Let's the princess and the prince over here" Pandita said as she pointed out the location that had been prepared

We bathed under a shower that had been given a prayer - a prayer by the pandita. After that, we changed into clothes and changed into white.

"Why wear clothes like this?" much

"Daughter, you are how this is a purification ritual when you have done tirtayatra" said Widasari

"Widasari, the princess is only testing you. Is your religious knowledge on the rise, isn't it Rakyan?" word Pasopati while blinking - blinking.

I laughed and answered Pasopati's question, trying to save me from Widasari's suspicion.

"Yes princess, I want to know your progress, hehehe." I said

"OK, so this we should do because our bodies are considered dirty by negative energy. That's why we have to be sanctified, brother" Widasari said

Next we were taken by the pandita and came to a place to worship the god of fire.

"We're here for what?" much

"After a bath, all that is lost is the dirt on our rough bodies. While our souls must also be cleansed with holy fire." said Widasari

I'm following what Pandita ordered. First we were in front of our faces given incense to the scent of sandalwood then another priest prepared a fire in a kundha or box to light a fire with charcoal. The charcoal is given a sprinkling of sandalwood powder.

"Please the princess and the prince surround this fire three times" Pandita said

"Next we have to go through this little fire" Widasari said

This time I followed Widasari's instructions. I jumped over the small flame and heard a scream from who was screaming.

aaaaaakkkhhh...

His screams were very ear-shrinking.

"Whose voice?" much

"It was the voice of Danawa who was following the princess" Pandita said.

Pandita then signed to me and Widasari, about Danawa following us.

"Daughter, did you meet with Danawa before you returned?" ask pandita.

"No Pandita, we only had time to fight with butho troops when we bathed in the sand" said Widasari

"But the butho has been destroyed and perished with Pancaroba's magic arrow and the golden lotus, Pandita" I added

The Pandita then sat down and watched my body closely.

"What's Pandita?" ask Satria

"Sorry prince, Rakyan is followed by the dawa sakti who has captivated him" Pandita said

"meaning?" ask Pasopathy

Pandita explained that the danawa had been following us from the camp and was about to infiltrate the palace. But it seems futile, because we have melukat and ritual holy fire.

"Did the princess ever meet someone suspicious?" ask Pandita again.

I remember the mysterious figure of the man who played the flute and touched the shawl I was wearing.

"I remember, Pandita. He was the man who played the flute and had touched my collar" I said

"Right, but he's a human being" Widasari said.

"No princess, she's a danawa who's looking up. Now give me that shawl and it has to be burned" Pandita said.

I don't want to give you that shawl. This shawl is a gift from the Dharma Mother Krrti as a memento.

"Can't, Pandita, I'm sorry" I said

"Why?" ask Satria

"Pandita what effect would it have if this shawl wasn't burned?" ask Pasopathy

"The princess will continue to be overshadowed by that danawa." Pandita explained.

Satria then approached me and begged me to burn the shawl. He promised to give me the same shawl to replace it. But it was different, Pasopati also asked me to burn the scarf for safety.

"All right." I said

I then let go of my sling. But the scarf couldn't be released, like it had fused into my neck. The more I try to take it off. The scarf got stronger in wrapping around me.

"It can't be removed, brother." I said

Satria tried to help him but also failed. Pandita then took the holy water and splashed it on me. My neck feels hot like a bee sting.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh.. hurts." I shouted.

"This is one of the effects" said Pandita

"Then how do I remove that shawl, Pandita?" ask Satria who is starting to worry.

Pandita just shook his head and resigned. Satria kept trying to let go but it only made me feel more pain.

"Rakai let's bring out pure air to help Rakyan" said Pasopati

Pasopati and Satria let out pure air but it was all in vain.

"Is there another way Pandita?" ask Satria

"There, it can only come off if the princess welds her shawl to burn" Pandita said

I then said in my heart that I was willing to burn my favorite shawl. It was also when the winding started to sag and I was able to let go. I immediately burned the shawl on top of the holy fire

Ddduuuuaaaaarrrrrrr

Shouts from the destruction and laughter follows me.

"Well, I'll be back !!!" yell out and laugh

Satria immediately hugged me and stroked my hair.

"Next time don't meet strangers. If you meet soon tell me." he said

"I'm sorry, brother." I said

Pasopati then awakened us. I just smiled and continued the final ritual.

"Ehem ... the last ritual" said Pasopati

"What?" much

Pandita gave me boreh (a mixture of gandharupa powder, perfumes, and sandalwood powder).

"What's this?" much

"Boreh, for protection" said Satria.

I felt cold and comfortable after my forehead was smeared with boreh. After that we performed prayers together in one of the temple rooms in the palace. After that, we changed clothes and went into the Palace to meet my father and mother.

"I've missed the mother of Dharma Krrti." I said

Everyone glanced at me

"Your mother is Dewi Tara, dear" said Satria

"Oh yeah. I'm sorry." I said.

"So, who is the Dharma Krrti?" ask Satria

"Maybe his mother is in the future" said Pasopati

I then entered and was immediately greeted by Goddess Tara.

"How are you, son?" ask Goddess Tara.

"I'm a good mother, what about mom and dad?" much

"We miss you so much, son. Let's go back to the king of prey" said Dewi Tara.

We went in following my mother and turned out to be in the royal dining room. The thing I like the most is to eat to enjoy the food of Mataram time.

'When else try to eat royal style' my inner

We sat down in the chair and started to eat. After that, my father asked Satria.

"Prince, when will you get married?" ask my dad

We all looked straight at my father.
