The Fighter
Chapter 323 Difficult Choices
Through the help of Anggoro finally Maharani came to the banquet in the kingdom. The event was organized to ask for an explanation of the state of security of the last kingdom. The warlord under the command of Patih Wirosobo was also one of the invited to attend the venue. Using his identity as the son of Patih Wirosobo, Anggoro was given an allotment to attend the event, and was allowed to bring one person as his partner.
"Nimas Maharani..I'm afraid that if you meet with Romo later, I'm afraid there's a commotion between the two of you." Anggoro asked Maharani to stay by his side.
"Well Anggoro.., after all, there's nothing I know here, just you. Looks like I won't dare to stay away from you either." The Maharani convinced Anggoro. The man smiled, in his heart was pleased, and,
Not long after, the event staff immediately opened the event. Dances by the dancers are presented to start the banquet. The king sat on the throne, accompanied by a woman, who could have been his wife. Near the king, sat Patih Wirosobo who had been staring at Maharani with an unhappy look.
"The attractor is very beautiful and has a very crazy and contained body. The movement of his hands also seemed flexible, from where the kingdom got the dancers, considering this kingdom is a lot of unrest everywhere.." Maharani commented about the dancers who were presenting the dance, which was,
"The kingdom of the kaputren party has its own group of dancers Nimas.., so it is not difficult to find such a flexible dancer." Anggoro explained to Maharani,
Not long after, it appeared that a group of people had entered the banquet hall, carrying cups and drinks. They were grouped based on the type of drink they brought, there was ginger, there was tea, there was wedang sambang, there was also legen, and todles brought by these people to the place. It was seen that Anggoro waved his hand, gesturing for the bearer of the drink to come to his place.
"Nimas.., do you want to drink legen or palm wine.., well." Anggoro offered the wine to the Maharani.
Realizing more of the ill benefits contained in the type of drink, Maharani raised his palm, trying to refuse the drink. The woman did not want, if Anggoro would take a chance on her, if she got drunk when she consumed the drink.
"Sorry Anggoro, I drink ginger lemongrass. I haven't had lehen or palm wine in a long time. Just provide the drink I want," hearing the woman's reply, the waiter immediately poured the drink the Empress asked for in the cup they had brought. In addition, they also left a pot, just in case the Maharani still wants to add his drink.
"Thank you.." The maharani thanked the servant who served him, and gave him a few pieces of money as a thank you.
"Thank you Den Ayu.." the waiter thanked me, then walked to move to another place.
"A little enjoying the wine will not make you drunk Nimas.. It will only make us a little more excited." Anggoro commented on the drinks ordered by Maharani.
"Iya Anggoro. that's if it applies to you. But it would be different, if I drank that type of drink. It doesn't matter if our drinks are different, it won't be something different." smiling, Maharani responded to Anggoro's words.

"Dananjoyo Synopathy.., what have you obtained to uphold the integrity of the kingdom of Logandheng. As a warlord, my hope is that you can indeed uphold wholeness, and at the same time bring peace in this kingdom." suddenly the king asked Senopati as the warlord to explain his work.
"Both Sinuhun.., for the pursuit of Raden Bhadra Arsyanendra we experienced Sinuhun obstacles.. It seems like there are colleges outside the Logandheng royal order meddling in this matter. In fact, as we all know, if there was a covenant in the past, that between us would not interfere with each other." Maharani was surprised by the report that Senopati Dananjoyo said. But the woman tried to suppress her emotions as deeply as possible, because it was very important to know who was the mastermind of the chaos in the kingdom.
"Have you tried to trace, what is the problem with the college, why are the people in the college so interfered with our problems. I order to secure Raden Bhadra Arsyanendra not to arrest him, like a criminal or a rebel who has done something.." not willing to draw conclusions first, the king asked for further explanation., he said.,
"Guruan Gunung Jambu has now changed the leader of Sinuhun. Ki Cokro Negoro had decided to disappear, and Wisanggeni's only student who continued his leadership at the college. The greed of the young man, perhaps the impetus to show his power to us," without being asked for an opinion, Patih Wirososo also took part to speak.
All gazes turned to Patih Wirosobo, and unknowingly, hearing the name of her husband being called, Maharani brandished a finger, permission to express an opinion. Anggoro frowned, seeing the woman also to speak in the suit.
"Who are you..., how dare you show up for a voice in this kingdom?" patih Wirosobo's face flushed red, suddenly the man interrupted the Maharani's words. All those present at the banquet looked towards the Maharani.
Unexpectedly, there was not the slightest fear of the woman. The Empress stood up while brandishing her hands, paying her respects to the king of Logandheng.,
"Sit down patih.., I want to respond to the woman myself. No one is allowed to interfere in my affairs." suddenly the voice of the king of Logandheng is heard which allows the Empress to speak.
The empress who accompanied the king of Logandheng was surprised by her husband's actions, let alone seeing the Maharani who was seen shining that night. Unbeknownst to the king, the woman looked at her husband with suspicion.
"Thank you for the opportunity given to Sinuhun's servant.. Before I refute what Senopati Dananjoyo and Patih Wirosobo have said, let me ask you first. If a weakling suddenly approached Sinuhun for help, what would Sinuhun do? Whether to interrogate first and then give help, even though the person who will harm him is behind him. Or was the second choice, helping him without taking into account what would happen afterwards?" in a loud voice, Maharani instead said a question sentence to King Logandheng.
