That morning, the atmosphere of the duchy looked crowded. The matter that frightened the residents had already been resolved by Diana last night. Diana ended up staying at the ducal residence. The two charioteers removed the horse from the chariot and put it in the duke's stable. The two coachmen were also given the same place as Diana and the others. They are respected just like Rangga who is also a man.
Dara is certainly the most special girl. Everyone wants to get close to her, touch her or kiss her. But no one would dare.
"Register the King to the Duke!" Shouted one of the guards outside the pendopo. At that time, the duke was walking in front of the duchy palace pendopo with his wife and children. While Diana with Dara was in front of the palace pendopo.
Hearing that shout, the Duke and family walked faster. Up ahead, he and the family immediately knelt down. And everyone who was there also knelt down. Including those who were in the courtyard, all of them kneeled down.
Only Diana and Dara did not kneel. They only saw that there were some royal courtiers in battle clothes sitting on horses. A soldier's head seemed to be trying to open a scroll.
"Register King! Each Duchy was obliged to send one thousand war soldiers within one week to the eastern part of the kingdom. The work is under threat of war. Kings under the Nusantara Kingdom must join the fight to defend the country from the threat of foreign state war. The minor kings, dukes and territories under the Nusantara Kingdom were obliged to participate in the war against the foreign state. For anyone who refutes, then the punishment is death! This order was written by His Majesty the King!" The warrior's head re-sealed the scroll from the leather he had just read. Without saying anything else, they finally left.
At that moment, the Duke and family immediately rose to their feet. "Call Lukito here!" His orders to his son.
"Come in, Lukito!" Pinta duke. Lukito immediately stood up and entered the duchy palace pendppo.
"Lukito, gather a thousand soldiers! We're leaving tonight! Give the prisoners a chance, if they want to be forgiven, then they have to defend the country." Said the duke as he was already sitting on his seat of greatness.
"Mr Adipatai, is that not risky?" Ask one of the duchy's advisers. The man ranged for about eighty years, yet his body looked still firm.
"Uncle Diso, that's what I've considered. This is the best road. The country is in need of many soldiers to fight against foreign nations who want to rule the country. So it is not good to punish them while the state is sending them. However, they are only subject to orders. As for Sinto, only he will be punished. Lukito will give an explanation to the subordinate soldiers of Sinto." Answer duke.
The Duke acted immediately. Do not risk arriving late at the destination. Tonight they set off for the eastern work. Carrying a thousand soldiers accompanied by Lukito. Semwntara for the affairs of the duchy, he submitted to the Diso pesehat with the ducal children.
Meanwhile, Diana, who was already quite rested, had left first since noon. They will head directly to the center of the kingdom according to Lord El's instructions.
