Hearing the offer from Panji Tejo Laksono, the four beautiful women immediately smiled widely. Gayatri immediately beckoned to Luh Jingga to get closer to her. Song Zhao Meng and Ayu Ratna. Apparently Gayatri wants to engage with the three beautiful girls prospective wife Panji Tejo Laksono the other.
"Luh Jingga, when do you think Kangmas Prince Panji Tejo Laksono will marry us? I really want it as soon as possible", said Gayatri half-whispering to Luh Jingga, afraid his voice was heard by the ears of Panji Tejo Laksono.
"I want to, too, Luh..
Later if too long we are not legal to be his wife, fearing that there will be another woman who will approach Prince Kangmas", Ayu Ratna added immediately.
"I know that, Nimas Ayu. But we just went to war.
If we ask to be married as soon as possible now, wouldn't it look like we're getting married? How about we just wait until the restoration of Rajapura City is complete, after that we married Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono in Kalingga?", replied Luh Jingga immediately.
"I agree with your opinion, Cici Luh..
Marriage takes time and preparation. For Cici Ayu, Cici should immediately send people to Kalingga to convey to Cici's parents to prepare for our marriage", said Song Zhao Meng who had just been silent listening to the words of the three beautiful girls.
Hearing Song Zhao Meng's words, Luh Jingga and Gayatri nodded in understanding while Ayu Ratna frowned.
"You why Nimas Ayu?", asked Luh Jingga who was astonished by Ayu Ratna's attitude.
"I don't care about your opinion. But who will go to Kalingga to deliver this news?", said Ayu Ratna as she turned to the three honey-women.
"I'll talk to Uncle Landung or Uncle Ludaka. My father is here, so it's not good until he knows the matter" Gayatri said with a faint smile. Hearing Gayatri's words, the three beautiful girls smiled widely and turned their eyes to Panji Tejo Laksono who was washing his face.
They all immediately approached the young prince from Kadiri.
"Kangmas Prince Tejo Laksono,
We have decided to have our wedding in Kalingga while waiting for the realignment of Rajapura. Gayatri will ask Uncle Landung for help to convey the news to Kanjeng Father Duke of Aghnibrata", Ayu Ratna said representing the three other girls next to her.
"Alright then, I will follow your wishes" Panji Tejo Laksono replied immediately.
"But wait for Prince Kangmas..
For the next time in terms of serving your needs, I and my three sisters will share time unless there are special circumstances such as this kind of war. There is no time, it is forbidden to disturb. If there is an urgent matter, please tell the serving. I will decide what day we are with Prince Kangmas.
You guys agree right?", Ayu Ratna turned her gaze to the three beautiful girls who were by her side. The three compactly smiled and nodded in understanding with Ayu Ratna's words.
And so, the wedding plan of Panji Tejo Laksono with his four prospective wives, namely Gayatri, Ayu Ratna, Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari in the title after the realignment of Rajapura in the Duchy of Kalingga. The future wives were not selfish by forcing the will to immediately become the wife of the young prince from Kadiri because they knew that the current Rajapura requires a realignment after the civil war that caused the suffering of his people.
In accordance with the instructions of Senopati Agung Narapraja, the Panjalu soldiers who participated in this war were returned to Kadiri. Senopati Agung Narapraja will lead them directly. While Garuda Panjalu and Lowo Bengi troops were assigned to escort Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son during his reign as the Duchy of Rajapura while waiting for a decision from Prabu Jayengrana about who will be appointed as the next Duke of Rajapura.
The death of Duke Waramukti itself resulted in the escape of members of the Rajapura Palace family until the palace was almost empty without residents. Leave some servants and palace attendants who did not run away. The members of the family of the Duke of Waramukti were afraid of being sentenced to death as a result of the actions of the former ruler of the Duchy of Rajapura.
Hearing the proposal of Senopati Agung Narapraja, Panji Tejo Laksono who led the meeting of the officers in the private room of the Duke of Rajapura who did not come crumbling, seemed to let out a long sigh. He immediately turned his head towards Mapanji Jayawarsa who was taking part in the meeting that afternoon.
"Dhimas Jayawarsa, what do you think?
Or do you want to replace me to reorganize Rajapura while waiting for the decision of Kanjeng Romo Prabu?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono while turning to Mapanji Jayawarsa. Kaget Mapanji Jayawarsa heard the remark, but he soon mastered himself and smiled faintly.
"I-I believe in Kangmas Tejo Laksono's ability..
Besides my wife Dewi Rara Muninggar is pregnant young and waiting for my arrival in Bojonegoro, Kangmas. So I can't replace Kangmas Tejo Laksono here", Mapanji Jayawarsa's excuse soon. The Nayaka of the Panjalu king who heard the Mapanji Jayawarsa's reply only lowered his face while smiling mockingly. They all know that it is only the reason Mapanji Jayawarsa not burdened with responsibility.
Panji Tejo Laksono and the officials of Panjalu who lived to take their departure to the city boundary.
"Be careful while leading in this place, Gusti Prince..
There are many dangers that can happen at any time. We do not know what the descendants of Duke Waramukti planned to escape from the palace", Senopati Agung Narapraja advised Panji Tejo Laksono.
"I understand, Uncle..
Say hello to Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana and Kanjeng Ratu Anggarawati. Tell them, as soon as I finish rearranging Rajapura, I will definitely return home to Kadiri" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile.
"I'll tell you, Gusti Prince. Then I beg you to say goodbye ", Senopati Agung Narapraja immediately saluted to Panji Tejo Laksono before jumping on his horse. Panji Tejo Laksono directly raised his right hand as a sign of his blessing.
Panjalu's army moved out of Rajapura City. After almost 500 fathoms away from the border of Rajapura City, Mapanji Jayawarsa turned towards Panji Tejo Laksono who was still standing there.
'Kangmas Tejo Laksono, you're ahead at the moment. Wait a while longer, I'll beat you'
After settling like that, Mapanji Jayawarsa again continued his journey. The large group of Panjalu troops continued to move until they disappeared from view behind the bend of the road.
While waiting for the arrival of the newsletter from Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana, The banner of Tejo Laksono was assisted by high-ranking Panjalu soldiers who still live in Rajapura to rebuild buildings that were badly damaged by the war. With the skills possessed by Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi and Tumenggung Sindupraja Gayatri's father, development went quickly. In just one full moon after the return of the Panjalu troops, dozens of houses have stood back in the city of Rajapura.
Rakryan Purusoma is in charge of providing building raw materials such as wood and bamboo that are found around the Koncar Forest and west of Rajapura City. Assisted by hundreds of soldiers and people of Rajapura City, they work hand in hand to collect wood, bamboo, grass and weeds which are the main raw materials of a house.
Demung Gumbreg himself served as a regulator of food providers served to the workers and soldiers of Panjalu who helped residents of Rajapura City build their homes. The women of Panji Tejo Laksono also helped smooth the implementation of the duties given to Demung Gumbreg.
That afternoon, the Rajapura women who were cooking food for the workers were busy with their respective jobs when Luh Jingga and Gayatri arrived. The two beautiful women immediately folded both of her sleeves and went down to help with the work. A cute black-skinned young girl directly approached them.
"I'm sorry if presumptuous Gusti Putri but preferably Gusti Putri both do not need to bother helping us. Afraid that the delicate skin of Gusti Putri's hands will become calluses like us" said the sweet black young girl named Ranti.
"Ah it's okay, Ranti..
We all help each other out here. Although I live in Kotaraja Daha, but I have been used to take care of the kitchen for daily food. So you don't have to worry about us" Gayatri replied with a deep smile.
"But Gusti Putri, later I will be angry again with Gusti the fat officer for letting Gusti Putri both work like servants" said Ranti immediately. His face looks scared.
"You mean Uncle Gumbreg?", asked Luh Jingga while looking at Ranti who was sitting quietly in front of him.
"Yes Gusti Putri.. Yesterday the servant got angry because he let Gusti Putri both help prepare food" replied Ranti timidly.
Mmmmmm...
"This is not allowed by Gayatri..
I do not like to be treated like a weak woman who can only be spoiled" said Luh Jingga who does not like excessive attitudes. This was because he had gotten used to living a simple life in Padepokan Bukit Penemampihan.
"You're right, Luh.. We have to go to Uncle Gumbreg to tell him", Gayatri immediately stood up from her seat.
At that time Demung Gumbreg who had just returned from delivering food with the supply soldiers, jumped down from his horse mount. Seeing the arrival of Demung Gumbreg, Gayatri and Luh Jingga immediately walked up to him. With a sour face, Gayatri immediately said,
"Uncle Gumbreg, please,
What does uncle mean to forbid us from helping these cooks?"
