"It looks like the man is a rich man. Look at the clothes he wears. It looks like a wealthy noble. We will follow us as our prey today. ", whisper a creepy-faced man to his friend who is no less sinister. Some scars were visible on the faces of these people.
"Yes, later we intercept at the edge of the village wegil.We take all the provisions. If you do not want to give us to finish him we throw him in the forest", replied his friend in a whisper.
Prince Katong is still fun to eat his favorite Lompong vegetable rice. His sharp hearing heard the two talk. He glanced for a while then continued eating.
Prince Katong called the shopkeeper.
"i'm paying for everything that eats here. Is this enough?. ", said Prince Katong to take out a bag of gold money.
"Enough sir, even this is more .", replied the servant while gawking.
"Take it back. "
"Thank you, generous young master", said the people who were eating.
"Oh, it's true that the rich are not our fault. ", said one of the begal.
Suddenly prince Katong approached the two of them.
"My son was waiting at the edge of the village of Wegil. Do not forget to call all the friends of the children", said prince Katong as he stepped away.
The two chokes at once upon hearing the words of prince Katong.
"How can he hear where we are some distance away, and we speak in whispers. ", say them astonishment.
"Maybe he's a master swordsman. Are we being bad?. "
The two begal rushed after Prince Katong who was walking towards the village of wegil.
"Stop, give up all your possessions or you'll die. "
"Lho you guys how. He said he wanted to cut me off at the edge of Wegil village. It's still here, you've been sore. You guys are not fun.. ", said Prince Katong with a grinning smile.
"Not to cry. Leave now!.", snapped the begal Berewok.
"If you are able to get close here I give you all my supplies" said Prince Katong while chopping down the Earth.
Instantly the earth where the two pieces are split and both are squeezed by the Earth.
"Ampuuuun. forgive us swordsmen.I will serve you when you forgive us.", Shouted them in fear.
"All right, I'm holding your promise."
Prince Katong flicked his hand to the side. Instantly the earth's crush was released.
"Alas, sir, forgive me. ", They said.
"Which person are you. Why do you have to be a begal?. ", asked prince Katong.
"Actually we are of the land by the wind. We were instructed by Gusti Jonggrang Prayungan to create chaos in the Pandan kingdom.", They answered in fear.
" What is the purpose of making a mess. Do you want to challenge the war?. ", Prince Katong asked in an angry tone.
" Please Lord, Gusti Jonggrang Prayungan wants to make the Kingdom of Pandan become violent so that Prince Katong undoes his intention to propose to the Princess of Purwa carita. Gusti Jonggrang considered Prince Katong as his arch-rival. "
" You know what Prince Katong looks like?. ", Prince Katong asked.
"Not yet Mr. Swordsman. "
"Watch carefully. I am Prince Katong of the Kingdom of Pandan. "
"For the Prince, forgive our bravery. "
"That's it, I'm sorry. Now you come with me."
"Good Prince. ", Answer them simultaneously.
