The Ancestral Country
Prince Jayengrana

Patugunung Panji immediately approached Resi Wasista with a faint smile.

"Why is Resi so sad? We just practice" said Panji Watugunung while throwing a sword in his hand towards Landung. The sword quickly shot towards the left hand of Landung who was holding his sword sheath.

Sreeettttt

The sword entered perfectly into its sheath. So fast, everyone did not see the movement of the sword. Landung just turned to his hand when there was a sound in his sword sheath. Everyone was shocked to see the incident including Resi Wasista and his three disciples.

From that incident, Taranggana realized. If the Watugunung Panji really served him, then he must have lost his life.

"Young man, you're amazing.

If you can tell, what is your name? And where are you from?", asked Resi Wasista in honor.

Before Panji Watugunung replied, Gumbreg immediately cut off the conversation of the two of them.

"This Gusti Prince Panji Watugunung. Son of the son-in-law of Maharaja Samarawijaya, the son of Regent Bracelets.

In the martial world, he is known as the Swordsman of the Fire Dragon, Old Brahmin", said Gumbreg with a long smile. The Watugunung banner immediately glared at Gumbreg which made the fat man instantly wrinkle.

Resi Wasista and his three students were shocked to hear Gumbreg's words. They immediately crouched down and worshiped to the Watugunung Panji.

"Ampuni Gusti's servant Prince..

A foolish servant, could not see a great noble before the eyes of this elder", Resi Wasista said in honor.

Buru buru Panji Watugunung immediately raised the hand of Resi Wasista.

"A brahmin just kneels to the God, Rishi.

Stand up, I am not a god worthy of your worship" Panji Watugunung said immediately.

Resi Wasista smiled with great admiration. This young man was young but had great devotion and respect for the brahmins, the inner Resi Wasista in heart.

"Thank you Gusti Pangeran, may the Supreme Being always bless every step of Gusti Pangeran", Resi Wasista nodded slowly.

"We talked in the resting portico of Pakuwon only Resi. Let's go there" said Panji Watugunung as he stepped towards the place he pointed.

Resi Wasista turned his head towards his three disciples, and soon his third followed the steps of the Resi towards the portico of rest.

After Resi Wasista followed the footsteps of the Watugunung Panji, all the Daha warriors dispersed. Gumbreg ran straight to the bathroom. Ludaka and Landung soon followed him.

Arriving at the portico, Dewi Srimpi has been waiting for the arrival of Panji Watugunung with warm water betel leaves to wash the face of the husband. Soon Panji Watugunung washed his face, and dried with a cloth that had been prepared Dewi Srimpi.

Panji Watugunung then whispered something to Dewi Srimpi, the woman nodded her head in understanding and immediately retreated from the resting portico.

"Hamba is really embarrassed not to be able to educate servant students well" said Resi Wasista.

"It's Rishi, we're just training. Pitting knowledge is not to beat each other but also to try out abilities.

This is our last day. After this me and the Daha troops will continue on their way. Please Resi willing to accompany me for breakfast together", said Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Hamba felt it inappropriate to eat together with Gusti Prince", Resi Wasista lowered his head.

"Eh I don't want any rejection of Resi. We are all the same as humans. The rank and position is only a title", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.

Dewi Srimpi, Dewi Naganingrum, Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang come to the portico while bringing various types of cuisine. They ate together that morning like close friends.

After preparation was enough, the Daha troops moved out of the palace of Pakuwon Kinanti towards the Duchy of Lasem.

Along the way a large group of Daha troops received the attention of the population in every woman and Pakuwon they passed.

At the boundary of the Kalingga region a small, fairly wide river stopped the footsteps of their horse. Lawana saluted the Watugunung Panji. His duty as a travel bodyguard for Watugunung Panji in Kalingga region is over. Lawana pulled the reins of her horse, pounding her horse back into the palace of the Duchy of Kalingga.

Across the river is the territory of the Duchy of Lasem. Slowly they crossed the small river. Once the entire Daha army had crossed the river, Senopati Narapraja immediately kicked their horses towards a Wanua which became the territory of Pakuwon Cempaka. The residents of Wanua Pesanggaran were frightened to see the arrival of thousands of soldiers who entered their territory.

Lurah Wanua Pesanggaran, Wangsareja immediately approached the Daha troops who stopped at the end of the Wanua.

"Although Gusti, too,

What made Gusti Perwira come to our place?", asked Wangsareja politely.

"We intend to cross the Bengawan Solo river Ki Lurah, is not there a pedestrian pier in this woman?", Tumenggung Wiguna looked at the old man's face.

"Oh there's no Gusti officer,

Our crossing pier connects between the Duchy of Lasem and the Duchy of Anjuk Padang. But sorry Gusti, the Bengawan Solo river is overflowing. It is very dangerous if you want to cross this time", replied Ki Wangsareja while respecting.

Tumenggung Wiguna immediately turned to Senopati Narapraja and Panji Watugunung.

"What can we do, we set up camp here while waiting for the water to subside" said Panji Watugunung soon.

The Daha soldiers immediately built a development tent on the field outside Wanua. While Panji Watugunung and his four wives stayed at Ki Wangsareja's house.

For 2 days they were forced to stay at the woman because of the Bengawan Solo flood. On the third day, when the river began to recede, the Daha troops managed to cross the Bengawan Solo river. Then they headed south, towards the city of Anjuk Padang Duchy.

After passing through Pakuwon Locaratna, the Daha troops continued to move south towards the city of Anjuk Laddang Duchy. By late afternoon, they arrived at the palace of the Duchy of Anjuk Padang.

Hearing the news of the Daha troops arriving at the Duchy, the Duke of Anjuk Gunawarman Field immediately came out to welcome their arrival.

Seeing the Watugunung Panji among the leaders of the Daha army, Gunawarman frowned. As he remembered, Patugunung Panji was only a messenger who delivered a letter from Prabu Samarawijaya.

"Welcome to the Duchy of Anjuk Gusti Senopati Narapraja Farm, Gusti Senopati Maitreya" Gunawarman said in his honor.

"Sorry Gusti Adipati, it is not we who are more entitled to greet you first. There is someone more important than us here", Senopati Maitreya looked at Gunawarman's face that looked confused, while Panji Watugunung just smiled thinly.

"What is Gusti Senopati Maitreya? Who is more entitled?", asked Duke Gunawarman immediately.

"Of course Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung, Gusti Adipati Gunawarman. He was the supreme leader of the Daha army at this time", hearing the words of Senopati Narapraja and duke Gunawarman kneeling to Panji Watugunung.

"Ampuni Gusti's servant Prince..

Servant was so foolish as to not recognize Gusti Prince", recalling the incident the other day while receiving the letter, Gunawarman grew increasingly frightened.

"Already Gusti Adipati, stand up.. Do not be like that", hear the words of Patugunung Panji, immediately Duke Gunawarman stood up.

That night, they spent the night at the palace of the Duchy of Anjuk Padang. Two of Gunawarman's daughters, Wulandari and Wulansari, who saw the arrival of the Daha officers, were surprised to see the Watugunung Panji among them.

Soon they asked his father who was hosting the officers at the duchy of Anjuk Padang.

"Kanjeng Romo, why is that person among the high-ranking officers of the Daha warriors?", whispered Dewi Wulandari to Gunawarman.

"Hussst..

Don't mess with him. He is the prince of Daha, Gusti Putri Ayu Galuh's husband" Gunawarman said immediately. Wulandari was surprised not to play.

After crossing the Brantas river, the Panjalu Army finally reached the Kotaraja Dahanapura region. The Daha soldiers were immediately returned to the Kadri court while the high-ranking army officers moved towards Dahanapura Palace.

Arriving at the palace, they rushed to the grand paseban hall because Prabu Samarawijaya had been waiting there.

"Worshipping worship for Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya, the Maharaja of Panjalu", said Panji Watugunung and all those who were with him.

"Wakeup..

I am proud of the heroes who have been instrumental in defending the Panjalu region from the rebels" Prabu Samarawijaya said with a smile.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu,

We cannot defend the Panjalu region without the help of the Daha soldiers who have risked their lives for the sake of the country" Panji Watugunung said while worshipping Prabu Samarawijaya.

The king of Panjalu smiled at the words of Panji Watugunung.

"Dhimas Panji Watugunung is indeed humble,

A soldier is indeed meritorious to defend the territory of Panjalu, but without a capable warlord, they will not be able to do much, right?

Now rest first in the direction of Dahanapura.Besok I will give the gift I promised you. My daughter is waiting for your arrival there Dhimas", said Sang Prabu Samarawijaya soon.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu", Panji Watugunung immediately saluted Prabu Samarawijaya followed by high-ranking officers who accompanied him. They immediately withdrew from the grand paseban ward.

Prabu Samarawijaya stared at their departure with a smile.

Panji Watugunung rushed towards Keputran Daha followed by his four wives. Warigalit headed to the guest ward while Narapraja, Maitreya and Tumenggung Wiguna headed to their residence in the Kadri court.

Ayu Galuh who was 5 months pregnant immediately stood up and stepped in front of Keputran when Panji Watugunung stepped into the porch of the daughter.

The beautiful woman immediately embraced her husband's body. Her tears are pouring out. He's very happy.

"Why are you crying Dinda Galuh?", teased Panji Watugunung immediately.

"I-I miss you so much Kangmas,

Look at your son he is also happy his father came" said Ayu Galuh while pulling Watugunung hand and putting it in the belly of Ayu Galuh who was distended. Sure enough, there was a kick from inside the woman's stomach when the hand of Panji Watugunung touched her stomach.

Panji Watugunung smiles happily.

"Panji Kangmas, please,

Who is she?", point Ayu Galuh at Goddess Naganingrum.

"She's the daughter of Prabu Darmaraja from Galuh Pakuan Dinda, she's your brother", replied Watugunung with a smile.

With a fierce look, Ayu Galuh approached Goddess Naganingrum.

"Hey you, you,

Already know the rules of being Kangmas Panji's wife?", Ayu Galuh sharply glared at Naganingrum.

"Abdi atos na Ceu rules, already told Ceu Mayang and Ceu Pitaloka" replied Naganingrum immediately.

"Hemmmm, um,

Remember that until you fuss with the ration business while accompanying Kangmas Panji, Kangmbok Anggarawati will not hesitate to throw you out. Understand you?", Ayu Galuh glared at Naganingrum.

The three concubines of Watugunung Panji just smiled at the behavior of Ayu Galuh.

That night they rested in the direction of Daha, of course with Ayu Galuh who accompanied the husband to rest.

Morning to arrive at Dahanapura Palace. That morning all the Daha palace officials were present at the grand paseban hall including Watugunung Panji who had dressed up like a noble.

Everyone squatted down and worshipped, as Prabu Samarawijaya entered the grand paseban hall. Dashingly, the man who began to look as old as it immediately sat on the Panjalu throne.

"Worship of servants for Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya, Maharaja of Panjalu", said everyone present at the paseban agung hall.

"May the Great be with us always. Now sit quietly", said Prabu Samarawijaya who was then immediately carried out by all Daha palace officials.

"Today, I have an important announcement for all of you.

Panji Watugunung, sit in front", get an order from Prabu Samarawijaya, Panji Watugunung immediately sit and cross-legged in front of Prabu Samarawijaya.

"This is my son-in-law, son of my uncle Panji Gunungsari. He had repeatedly saved Daha both from Jenggala attacks and from Paguhan rebel rongs.

Today, he I adopted as Prince Daha officially with the title Prince Jayengrana. Why did I give him the title Jayengrana? Because he always wins (jaya) in every war (rana).

Furthermore, as Prince Daha, he will rule the Kadri, Kunjang and Watugaluh areas as his family residence", said Sang Prabu Samarawijaya.

Everyone in the Dahanapura palace smiled faintly at Prabu Samarawijaya's words, except for one person.
