Bhadra Arsyanendra suddenly chokes while enjoying lunch. The young man's personal bodyguard immediately brought him some water to drink and gave it to the young man. Quickly, Bhadra Arsyanendra took a wooden cup from the guard's hand, then drank it to the end of the drink inside the cup. After the cup was empty, the youngster returned the cup to his guard.
"Raden...How long will Raden be in this college? Does Raden have no desire to return to the kingdom of Logandheng..?" while receiving the cup from the prince's hand, the personal bodyguard carefully asked the young man. Bhadra Arsyanendra averted her eyes, then..
"Uncle.not that uncle already knows and knows who I am. I will not be easy to turn away from the promise I have held and agreed. I've already made an appointment to Kang Ashan and Aunt Rengganis, if I'm going to wait for the two of them to return to this college. I will not break that promise uncle.." in a stern voice, Bhadra Arsyanendra responded to the words of his personal bodyguard.
"I don't mean like that Raden. It's been full, no one has returned to this school yet, but Raden Bhadra is still adamant to wait for him. We don't even know how things are going in Logandheng's kingdom." The bodyguard is still trying to influence young men.
The young man smiled, then his mind glared. It was not only the face of Ashanka Chakra that he remembered in his branch, but also the gentle face and beauty of Parvati that appeared and was in his shadow.
"Uncle. I believe in uncle's destiny. Honestly uncle.I don't miss a position in Logandheng kingdom. I prefer to achieve my own dreams. If the kingdom of Logandheng is destined to be mine uncle, then it will run anywhere, the kingdom will remain in my grasp. But if not, then no matter how hard I try, then the kingdom will also be released from my hands. Uncle don't think too much.." Bhadra Arsyanendra responded to her nanny's concerns.
"But Raden.remember the mandate of Kanjeng Sinuhun. Also remember the face of the people of the Logandheng kingdom, who always expected the presence of Raden Bhadra to hold the reins of leadership." the bodyguard continued to express his opinion.
"Patience uncle.I am sure that Brother Ashan will not break his promise to me. Soon, my hunch was that the Ashan kang would be back soon." smiling, Raden Bahdra tried to calm the guard's feelings.
"Huh.all right Raden.. I will go back to the back, hopefully Raden will soon be able to set his heart to return to the kingdom of Logandheng." feeling unsuccessful to influence his visitation, finally the bodyguard said goodbye to retreat from that place.
Bhadra Arsyanendra smiled at the back of her personal bodyguard, or rather called her nanny. Ever since he was born into this world, that man and his wife had always been by his side. It was the man who introduced him to the world, and even saved him by taking him away from the kingdom of Logandheng when there was a riot in the kingdom. Even today, the couple is still faithfully accompanying and serving him.
"Kakang Ashan.., Nimas Parvati. I miss you both so much.." Bhadra Arsyanendra muttered to himself. The young man stood up and then stepped out of the pendhopo.

"Is there anything that disturbs your mind." Looking at the folded face of her husband, the woman in a soft voice asked the man sitting beside her.
"Huh.it's very difficult to change the young man's mind. The people of Logandheng kingdom had been expecting Raden Bhadra to take over the reins of Logandheng kingdom. But the young man's heart was not shaken" the man complained about Bahdra Arsyanendra's reply.
The woman's wife smiled, then placed her hands on her husband's back. Living life with the male bodyguard, women already know the outside and inside of the nature and character of his life partner.
"Kang.., Raden Bhadra has not yet reached adulthood. There is still a lot of anxiety and confusion in the child in setting a decision. We will not be able to go too deep, and impose our will on the young man. We wait until the arrival of Rayi Chakra Ashanka son of the owner of this college. I'm pretty sure that young man won't let us down." she gave her husband a look.
"What do you think Nimas.. I became frightened at the current state of Raden Bhadra. As the successor of the Logandheng kingdom, the boy had never studied the manners of life in the palace. It should be everywhere, the young man got protection from the guards, but instead chose to separate himself from the royal life in this college. As a person who gets the mandate to direct from Kanjeng Sinuhun prabu... very heavy for us Nimas.." the male bodyguard relays his opinion.
The woman smiled again at the complaint from her husband, then the female guard leaned her head on the man's bodyguard. The two stared down, towards the green valley below, trying to ponder the things they had done.
"Kang. if I could argue. It does not matter for now, whether Raden Bhadra is in the kingdom of Logandheng, or is he in this college. We only show our loyalty to the boy, in accordance with our promise to Kanjeng Sinuhun. We will devote our lives to the child, until death picks us up." the woman spoke her opinion to the man sitting next to her.
The male guard looked to the side, looking at his wife's face. Not the slightest look of disappointment on his wife's face, let alone regret following Raden Bhadra to the college. The man became silent, and tried to calm his own mind.
"Well Nimas, thank you for your input for me. Kangmas will accept what is destined for us, even though we have to sacrifice our son who is currently fighting alone in the kingdom of Logandheng. The most important thing for us is how we should serve and show the oath of allegiance to Raden Bhadra." finally after a while, the male bodyguard was able to accept Bhadra Arsyanendra's decision.
The woman sitting next to him nodded, approving of her husband's words.
