The Ancestral Country
Yuwaraja

Ranggawangsa grunts long.

The old man stared at Panji Watugunung's face with a flash of hatred. From the beginning of the Watugunung Panji leading the Garuda Panjalu troops, he was already unhappy with the Regent's son Bracelets. All his considerations from the beginning began to marry Panji Watugunung with Ayu Galuh, also a form of his hatred.

At that time he hoped Panji Watugunung refused to marry Ayu Galuh so that the Watugunung Panji was branded a rebel against the rule of Prabu Samarawijaya. But it turns out that Panji Watugunung received and instead became the favorite of Prabu Samarawijaya because it succeeded in changing the nature of Ayu Galuh who was a delinquent for the better.

When Panji Watugunung faced Jenggala forces led by Senopati Socawarma, he proposed to send only a few soldiers on the grounds to maintain the safety of other regions. He hoped Panji Watugunung lost and died in the war, but it turned out that Panji Watugunung instead came home with victory.

When Senopati Mpu Tandi conquered Lasem, he blocked Mapatih Jayakerti's proposal for the Watugunung Panji to lead the Daha army. But Senopati Ganggadara who led the army was killed and Jenggala gained victory. With great force, he approved the proposal of Mapatih Jayakerti, and it is true that the Watugunung Panji managed to expel Jenggala soldiers after experienced senopati like Mpu Tandi had to die when dealing with Panji Watugunung.

And during the rebellion of Duke Gandakusuma, he rejected Balapati his nephew who was sent for various reasons. He who proposed the Watugunung Panji went to Kawali solely because he wanted the Watugunung Panji killed there. But instead of being killed, Panji Watugunung was able to make political ties with Prabu Darmaraja through marriage with Dewi Naganingrum.

Even when the Daha troops left for Paguhan, he also made Prabu Samarawijaya only send 5300 soldiers on the grounds of security of Kotaraja region.

And now having returned home and successfully quell the rebellion of Duke Gandakusuma, Panji Watugunung got three most important Pakuwon in the territory of the crown prince of the kingdom of Panjalu. It is tantamount to the appointment of Patugunung Panji as Yuwaraja or the viceroy in Daha although it has not been announced to the entire community of Daha. He will be even harder to beat with this position as Yuwaraja.

Prabu Samarawijaya used to listen to all the advice of Ranggawangsa, but now Prabu Samarawijaya began to use his own thoughts to run the wheels of Panjalu government.

Influencing Mapatih Jayakerti is clearly impossible, as one of the Jayakerti brothers is taken concubine by Prabu Samarawijaya.

Impatiently Ranggawangsa waiting for this grand passage is completed.

Patugunung banner smiled as Prabu Samarawijaya dressed the crown of Yuwaraja to the son-in-law. No one deserves to be Yuwaraja other than Panji Watugunung among his four sons-in-law.

Prabu Samarawijaya had only daughters and no sons, so the right to the throne would obviously fall into the hands of his most talented son-in-law.

Empress Daha of Lasem, Dyah Kirana had no children. As for the concubines, only the princess was born. And Ayu Galuh was the eldest daughter who was adopted by Dyah Kirana.

The atmosphere of the grand palace really made a big change in the Daha palace. The palace officials immediately thought of a way to establish good relations with Panji Watugunung and his family. Being able to establish a good relationship with Yuwaraja, meant securing their position as the nobles of the Daha court.

"From now on I will call Dhimas Panji with the call of Prince Panji Jayengrana.

Starting next week, Dhimas Prince must determine the location of the palace for you in your territory. I don't want my granddaughter will still live hitchhiking at Gunungsari Kakang in Bracelets", said Prabu Samarawijaya with a faint smile.

"The Gusti Prabu government is my duty. Thank you for all the happiness that Gusti Prabu has given me", Panji Watugunung immediately worshiped Prabu Samarawijaya.

The Panjalu King immediately returned to his throne and the Watugunung Panji returned to his seat.

After the great paseban disbanded, the Watugunung Panji immediately stepped towards the Daha's son.

His five wives welcomed the arrival of Panji Watugunung with joy. They had heard the news that the Watugunung Panji would be appointed as the Prince of Daha. That means their husband will be the next king of Panjalu.

"Congratulations Kangmas Prince, please,

Your second empress saluted" said Ayu Galuh, bowing.

"What are you talking about, Dinda? I still keep Panji Watugunung yesterday", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly at the actions of his second wife.

While Panji Watugunung clutched with his wife's wife, Ranggawangsa hit the pole of his residence house hard.

"This can't be allowed. The boy yesterday afternoon will be even more vulnerable if we stay silent" said Ranggawangsa furious.

"But Gusti Ranggawangsa,

Now the position of Watugunung Panji is strong. There is no way we can harm her, especially Gusti Putri Ayu Galuh is pregnant. Teasing the Watugunung Panji is currently the same as looking for things with Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya", Demung Tantripala also spoke.

"I'll find out how Tantripala, Wiramukti should be Yuwaraja but the boy doesn't know what. My niece was really stupid", Ranggawangsa sat on her chair violently. The old man was really dizzy. If Wiramukti his nephew who became the second ghost of Prabu Samarawijaya was appointed as Yuwaraja, then his intention to master Panjalu from behind the scenes will be easily accomplished. But with the appointment of Panji Watugunung to become the ruler of Kadri, Watugaluh and Kunjang, the goal is increasingly difficult to achieve.

He was growling with hatred

After three days at the Daha palace, Panji Watugunung intends to visit his son Panji Tejo Laksono at the Bracelets as well as fulfill the promise to Cempluk Rara Sunti before leaving for Kawali. Warigalit and Garuda Panjalu army officers have returned to the army headquarters in Sanggur.

Morning to the Daha Palace. The crowing sound of the rooster unpretentious morning omen has come. Although the weather is still cloudy but not too cold as usual.

The Watugunung banner had just finished preparing when Ayu Galuh came to see him. He did not wear his crown and dressed like a swordsman.

"Kangmas Prince,

I have something for my son Tejo Laksono. Please give yes", said Ayu Galuh while giving a bundle of cloth to the Watugunung Panji.

"What is this Dinda?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Kangmas children's clothes only, my own stitches. Be careful if Kangmas does not give it to my son", Ayu Galuh threatened while clenching his hands.

Panji Watugunung immediately smiled faintly. He was so excited when Ayu Galuh considered Panji Tejo Laksono as his own son.

Feelingly, Panji Watugunung immediately kissed the Daha princess' forehead immediately.

Dewi Naganingrum, Dewi Srimpi, Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang came from the back of the Keputran portico.

"The four of you, you,

Take good care of Prince Panji Kangmas. If anything happens, I will pursue you all to the ends of the world though" said Ayu Galuh with the appearance of his king's daughter.

Cihhh

"No need you order we also have to take care of Kakang Watugunung, the Wild Princess", Sekar Mayang irritated.

The Watugunung banner was just a head bobble looking at the behavior of his five wives.

After saying goodbye, Panji Watugunung and his four wives immediately jumped on their horses. Slowly they left Daha's palace towards the east.

A Keputran guard soldier was approached by a thick-moustached soldier.

"Where is Gusti Prince?", asked the soldier with a thick mustache while staring at the passing of Panji Watugunung and his four wives.

"I don't know, but I just heard he said he wanted to visit his son at the Bracelets" replied the guard soldier. The thick mustache was immediately bearded to hear the words of the guard soldier.

The white-haired old man was sitting on his wooden chair when the thick-moustached soldier came.

"I told you, don't come here if there is no important news" said Ranggawangsa ketus.

"Although Gusti Advisors,

Gusti Pangeran Panji Jayengrana and his four wives left Keputran. They're heading east. The guards said they were going to the Bracelets", the soldier with the thick mustache was saluting.

Hmmmm

"Good work. Keep reporting if there are important things happening around the child" said Ranggawangsa as he reached into his pocket and threw a small bag of silver to the soldier with a thick mustache. Those eyes smiled faintly, imagined that in a moment he would soar a chicken. He needed money to gamble. Soon the thick mustachioed soldier saluted Ranggawangsa and retreated from the residence of the Advisory Palace of Dahanapura.

Ranggawangsa immediately jumped on the horse, and kicked his horse towards the suburb of Dahanapura.

In a wooden house close to a small forest, he stopped. After tethering his horse, he went inside.

A large-bodied middle-aged man with a thick mustache and a long beard seemed to be busy sitting while enjoying glutinous rice wine. Around him dozens of people in black clothes were engrossed in their respective activities. There are those who are busy playing gambling, some are bathing roosters, some are busy drinking rice wine, some are busy playing women in the room.

Once Ranggawangsa entered, the middle-aged man immediately stood up.

"Your work is just lazing around", shouted Ranggawangsa as she ruffled her waist.

"Hehehehe,

There is no Gusti job. So what's wrong if we're having a little fun?", the middle-aged man said with a chuckle.

"Basic garbage..

Listen I have an important assignment for you, Black Wolf.

Your task is in the Bracelets, do not fail. If it fails, you know for yourself what the consequences will be. Never say my name until you're caught.

You pay 100 gold pieces" said Ranggawangsa, throwing a bag of golden rice to the man who was the leader of the Black Wolf group, Ki Samba.

Ki Samba held the gold foil in the cloth bag. A task of this magnitude would have risked his life.

"Sorry Gusti, what is our real duty?", asked Ki Samba as he continued to fondle the gold kepeng.

"Kill Prince Jayengrana", replied Ranggawangsa coldly.

The golden flask immediately fell from the hands of Ki Samba. The middle-aged man immediately lost his hangover hearing Ranggawangsa's words. That job is very dangerous. If they succeed, they must be fugitives from Dahanapura Palace. If they fail, they will be destroyed.

"This task is very dangerous Gusti. If only 100 pieces of gold, it is better Gusti find someone else to do it" Ki Samba said immediately.

"Good, okay,

I doubled the prize. Consider it a face to your wages. If it works, I'll give you 300 gold pieces" Ranggawangsa smiled cynically.

Hearing Ranggawangsa's reply, Ki Samba and the Black Wolf Group immediately smiled widely.

"When should we go Gusti?", asked Ki Samba while chugging again his rice wine.

Ranggawangsa immediately turned towards the door of the house and said,

"Tomorrow I'd like to hear the news of Prince Jayengrana's death"
