Stop for a quick walk to the main Hall to welcome Mahapatih Saung Galah. The next few days were the most crucial times for him as well as the Duchy of Ligung.
If the plan made by Majasari fails and Saung Galah finds himself defecting then all his life will be over.
"I'd like to have my guard up in jail tight, no one's allowed to enter without my permission". Singgih said softly to his soldiers just before he went towards the main Hall.
When he arrived at the main hall he approached someone who was standing not far from the main door.
"Sir Jinggo is everything okay?" Stop asking with a slightly anxious face. The arrival of Mahapatih Saung galah who is famous for being ingenious and having high canuragan knowledge makes him a little depressed.
"You don't have to worry, I've prepared a backup plan in case our plan fails. Dozens of soldiers and warriors were ready at some point of the border of the Ligung region. Right now all you have to do is not make Patih suspicious, the rest I'll take care of".
"Okay sir" Singgih was a little relieved to hear Jinggo's words. His mind was in turmoil, plus his last conversation with Wardhana left him unsettled.
Before long the banner of Saung Galah began to be seen fluttering along with the arrival of a large group entering the Hall of the Duchy of Ligung.
Singgih along with Jinggo and some of his soldiers walked to greet the entourage.
"Welcome to the Duchy of Ligung Tuan Patih" Singgih and others saluted Jaladara Mahapatih of Saung galah.
"There is no need to hesitate Duke, Your Majesty leave you a greeting". The heavy sound of Jaladara pierced Singgih's heart.
He understood very well that the greeting given to him was a warning to him not to do anything with Saung galah.
"The noble is very generous still remembering the servant of the lord" Singgih slightly stale.
"You can repay his kindness with your loyalty".
Singgih nodded without answering, he did not dare to look Jaladara in the eyes.
Jinggo looked at the charisma emanating from Jaladara's body. An aura gained from studying the science of high canuragan.
"Even his presence has suppressed anyone near him" Jinggo muttered inwardly.
"There's something I want to talk to you about" Jaladara turned to Singgih.
"Okay sir" Singgih let Jaladara enter the room and signaled Jinggo to leave them both.
"Did something happen to your Duchy" Jaladara's Sharp gaze was directed at Singgih.
"Ah everything is fine sir, is anything troubling Your Majesty?" Singgih said with heart.
"These few months you never came to the palace and handed me tribute. Some of the messengers I sent here never managed to meet you".
Singgih's Face changed, he always dodged if there was a Saung Galah envoy to meet him. Ever since Majasari offered him great wealth rewards he began to keep his distance from Saung galah.
"Ah it seems like mister was wrong, we are just being slumped due to crop failure in our territory sir".
"I hope you don't lie to me, you know the consequences of betraying Saung galah".
"Hamba is not brave sir" Singgih bowed his head.
***
Guntur showed an iron plate inscribed with the Duchy of Wanajaya on the border guard soldiers.
"I am Thunder Commander of the Wanajaya Army".
"Ah lord Thunder please enter" A warrior recognized Thunder and allowed passage without inspection.
He walked in followed by Sabrang and his entourage. Mentari looked down not daring to look at the border post soldiers.
"What prince are we going to lose?" Kaurawa whispered to Sabrang who was next to her.
"Today we'll look for lodging before putting together uncle's next plan".
"Good Prince".
"Have you heard from Uncle Wijaya?".
Kaurawa shook her head slowly "Some people have been placed in the border region of Ligung. If Mr. Patih comes here they will explain the situation".
Sabrang nodded slowly, his gaze directed at an inn not far from where he was walking.
Sabrang walked quickly after Thunder who walked in front of him.
"Uncle looks like we should split up here, thanks for helping us".
Thunder turned his head then smiled looking at Sabrang.
"Well Prince, please be careful and sorry we can only help to this extent".
***
Sabrang stared at the night sky Ligung from his room.Once in a while he took a deep breath like he was thinking about something.
"What should I do this time? If you were in my office what would you decide?".
This was the first time Sabrang had to decide something without the company of Wijaya and Wardhana. The science is high but making decisions in the precarious situation today is very different from fighting. There will be many lives that depend on the decisions he makes.
Sabrang's daydream came to a halt when he saw a shadow moving rapidly in the darkness of the night. He tried to close his eyes.
He decided to move following the figure he saw.
"If seen from his movements the science of lightening his body is quite high, who he really is" Sabrang still took distance from the person so as not to arouse suspicion.
When entering a path arrived the person who followed Sabrang disappeared.
Sabrang stopped his movement, his hand standby holding his sword.
Suddenly someone attacked him at full speed but Sabrang managed to dodge and repel the man with his sword.
"This guy's so fast" The guy bounced back receiving Sabrang's counterattack.
"Who are you and what are you doing here" Sabrang slowly walked up to the man. From several times exchanging styles Sabrang already know the ability of the person far below it.
"It looks like you're not here, the style you're using is very foreign to me" the man scrunched his forehead.
Sabrang did use the style of the Red Lotus to avoid suspicion.
"Master hasn't answered me, what are you doing here?".
The man smiled wryly, he was trying to find the location of the Ligung Prison but was instead hit by a big problem.
"Sorry sir, I'm just looking for some fresh air".
"Fresh air with those clothes and face coverings?" Sabrang smiled cynically.
"It seemed like there was no way other than to fight him and try to escape" The man darted quickly to attack Sabrang but moments before his sword managed to hit Sabrang suddenly disappeared and appeared right behind the man.
"North Ice Claw" Sabrang clasped the man's hand making him hit back and hit a big tree behind him.
"Ah this swordsman from the Northern Ice Tread Sect" Has not had time for the man to move until Sabrang has appeared before him.
His hand gripped the man's right hand and placed it on the tree behind him. Sabrang formed an ice pack and locked the man's arm.
"Now you can't move, tell me who you are".
The man looked at Sabrang with a scared face.He realized the magic of swordsman in front of him far above him.
"Ah I can finally catch up with you Prince, Please return to the inn, it would be very dangerous to roam around at night if Ligung troops are found". Kaurawa seemed to be regulating her breathing.
"Kurawa" The man looked at Kaurawa in surprise.
Kaurawa sharpened her eyes looking at the man wearing the face cover.
"You know me?" Kaurawa realizes that Sabrang is not alone. A motionless man was locked in a tree with thick ice covering his hands.
The man's left hand opened the cover of his face.
"Master Oxen Sora" Kaurawa almost shouted to see the Oxen sora in front of her.
Sabrang scrunched his forehead and then released the ice that enveloped the hands of the Sora Ox.
"You called him prince?" The sora cow realized it seemed like she was making a huge mistake.
Kaurawa nodded softly "He's Prince Sabrang, His Majesty the King".
The Ox kneeled before Sabrang
"Hamba Deserves to Die Prince".
