A palace gatekeeper came to the Batang-katang Palace boga gym with hurried footsteps. Almost he fell due to tripping floor tiles so rushed. Soon he bowed to Prabu Jayengrana and his wives with great respect.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu..
There are emissaries from the Duchy of Seloageng. He said there was very important news to be conveyed to Gusti Prabu and Gusti Ratu Anggarawati", said the soldier while worshipping Prabu Jayengrana. Hearing those words, everyone in the place looked at each other. Prabu Jayengrana immediately stood up from her seat.
"Let him meet me in my private room, soldier".
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu", the palace gate guard soldier returned to honor Prabu Jayengrana after hearing the order from the king of Panjalu and rushed back out of the palace boga gym Katang-katang.
"Dinda Anggarawati, come with me now", invited Prabu Jayengrana who was immediately greeted with a quick nod of the head from the first queen. The two immediately rushed to leave the yoga gym towards the king's private room located beside Pendopo Agung Kotaraja Kadiri.
"What is going on in Seloageng, Mayang?", Ratna Pitaloka the first concubine looked at Sekar Mayang the second concubine sitting next to her.
"I don't understand, Kangmbok Pitaloka.
But seeing the strange gurgle shown by Anggarawati earlier seems to be very important", reply Sekar Mayang immediately.
"Hampura or Teh Mayang..
A few days ago, the tea man had heard he said that the Duke of Sepuh Tejo Sumirat was sick. Do not let this important news have anything to do with the news of eta oruh", said Dewi Naganingrum the third empress with great zeal.
"I mean Kangmbok, don't let the messenger tell you that something happened to the Duke of Sepuh Tejo Sumirat, Kangmbok Naganingrum?", Cempluk Rara Sunti joined in their chat.
"Hussss... You don't just talk, Sunti..
What if there is a demon going through?
Just haphazardly you are", said Dewi Srimpi immediately.
"Not making a fuss. Let's wait for the next news from Kangmas Prabu Jayengrana. No need to guess what happened. If anything bad happens to Duke Sepuh Tejo Sumirat, we pray that he will improve soon. Let's continue eating, then get cold", Ratna Pitaloka mediates the chatter between Prabu Jayengrana's wives. They followed and continued their lunch.
Among the wives of Prabu Jayengrana, only one who did not open his mouth at all was Ayu Galuh. It looks like the beautiful woman who became the second empress is thinking about something important.
Prabu Jayengrana and Dewi Anggarawati soon entered the king's private room. Not long after, the palace gatekeeper came along with Tumenggung Kundana. Without waiting any longer, Tumenggung Kundana immediately knelt before Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana.
"Katiwasan Gusti Prabu Jayengrana, Gusti Ratu, katiwasan...
Gusti Adipati Sepuh.", said Tumenggung Kundana with a sigh of excitement due to rush and fatigue after riding for more than half a day.
"Tell me clearly, don't piece like that, Tumenggung Kundana..
Do not make us confused" said Dewi Anggarawati quickly.
"Please forgive Gusti Queen..
Slave panicked so can not be layered well. Servant came over the emissary of Gusti Patih Sancaka to inform him that Gusti Adipati Sepuh Tejo Sumirat had died before the Great Hyang ", Tumenggung Kundana immediately respected after saying so.
WHATAAAAAA??!!!!
After shouting loudly like that, the body of Dewi Anggarawati was immediately dumbfounded about to fall to the floor because he collapsed hearing the news of his father's death. Prabu Jayengrana quickly grabbed the wife's body.
"Honey..
Quickly call the palace physician here now", shouted Prabu Jayengrana immediately. The two ladies-in-waiting immediately saluted Prabu Jayengrana and ran out from inside the king's private room. While the other two immediately followed the steps of Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana who carried the body of Goddess Anggarawati who fainted into the king's private room located adjacent to the King's private room.
Gently, Panji Watugunung put the body of Dewi Anggarawati on the bed. She knew that Dewi Anggarawati must have been surprised to hear the news delivered by Tumenggung Kundana. After stroking the first empress' cheek, Prabu Jayengrana immediately turned to the two palace ladies-in-waiting outside the king's private room.
"Jaga Gusti your Queen. If the palace healer comes, tell me. I will settle matters in my private room", the King of Panjalu said immediately. Two palace ladies and gentlemen immediately saluted Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana who rushed back to his private room to meet Tumenggung Kundana.
"Kundana Beach,
I've received the news you've been telling me. Tell Uncle Patih Sancaka to prepare everything for the purification of the soul of Kanjeng Father Duke Tejo Sumirat. I'll take care of Queen Anggarawati Dinda first. Go now. I'll catch up with you soon" Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana ordered, raising his right hand.
"Then I beg you to say goodbye, Gusti Prabu. May Gusti Ratu Anggarawati soon be healthy again", after saying so, Tumenggung Kundana immediately respect Prabu Jayengrana and walk squatting towards the outside of the king's private room. Once outside, Tumenggung Kundana immediately rushed to leave the place.
Nun far in the western region of Panjalu, precisely in the Duchy of Kalingga Palace, Panji Tejo Laksono was busy joking with his four wives when suddenly appeared a voice that was very familiar to him.
"Tejo Laksono, did you hear my voice?"
Of course this surprised Panji Tejo Laksono. Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son immediately dyed here and there looking for the figure of the father.
"Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana?? Where is Kanjeng Romo now?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately. This greatly confused the wives of Panji Tejo Laksono because they did not hear any sound.
"Kangmas Prince, what's wrong with you? Why are you calling Gusti Prabu Jayengrana's name?", Ayu Ratna looked at her husband's handsome face that looked like a confused person.
"Dinda did not hear the voice of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana?", Panji Tejo Laksono circulated his gaze on Luh Jingga, Ayu Ratna, Gayatri and Song Zhao Meng. The four beautiful women shook their heads as they heard nothing but the voice of Panji Tejo Laksono.
This is the greatness of Ajian Bayu Swara owned by Prabu Jayengrana after ascending for 40 days in Mount Lawu after successfully quelling the rebellion Descendants of the House of Syailendra from Lwaram first. A study that can transmit sound over long distances even though it is hundreds of thousands of spears away. Amazingly, this study only reached the people who wanted to.
When Panji Tejo Laksono was still confused, Prabu Jayengrana's heavy voice again ringed in his ears.
"Don't be confused, Tejo Laksono. This is your Father, Prabu Jayengrana using Ajian Bayu Swara from inside the Katang-katang palace.
Now sit cross-legged, use the mudra attitude so you can talk to me".
Panji Tejo Laksono seemed relieved after hearing the voice. Soon he sat cross-legged on the floor of the guest hall of honor of the Duchy of Kalingga which became his residence while in Kalingga. With the attitude of mudra hands like his father, Panji Tejo Laksono carried out all the instructions from his father. His wives soon surrounded the husband. Panji Tejo Laksono had to spend a lot of energy in order to talk to Prabu Jayengrana until sweat began to wet his forehead. His eyes closed tightly trying to concentrate on Prabu Jayengrana's heavy voice.
"Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana, what is it that makes Kanjeng Romo contact ananda?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.
"There is important news, Tejo Laksono. You do not need to be confused or sad because this is the divine destiny.
Eyang mu, Kanjeng Father Duke Tejo Sumirat died. Therefore, you should immediately return to Seloageng to pay his last respects", replied Prabu Jayengrana immediately. Panji Tejo Laksono seemed surprised to hear the news delivered by his father, but the young prince quickly took control of him.
"Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana..
If you want to quickly get to Kadiri or Seloageng, ananda can use Ajian Halimun which Kanjeng Romo put on me. But now there are four wives that you can't just leave here. So how can we get to Seloageng as soon as possible if this is the situation Kanjeng Romo?", Panji Tejo Laksono expressed his confusion.
"Hehehehe.. You're this fucking..
Have all four of your wives channel their energy into your body when you use your Ajian Halimun then his ability will be able to bring as many people as you want.
That's it already. Romo wait in Seloageng, my son", finished speaking so, Prabu Jayengrana's voice disappeared from the hearing of Panji Tejo Laksono. The young prince from Kadiri immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Luh Jingga who sat to the left of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately asked when Panji Tejo Laksono opened his eyes.
"What happened, Prince Kangmas?", Luh Jingga looked so worried. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately smiled at the question from Resi Damarmoyo's daughter.
"I'm fine, Dinda Luh..
What is clear at this time is that we have to arrive in Seloageng tonight", Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stood up from his seat followed by his four wives.
HAAHHHHHHHHHH??!!
"How could that possibly happen to Prince Kangmas? If we ride non-stop at least took half a full moon to reach Seloageng", now Gayatri was also surprised to hear the words of her husband.
Panji Tejo Laksono smiled meaningfully. He knew that arriving in Seloageng that day was also impossible for everyone.
"You have to believe me. It's best now that Dinda Gayatri calls all the officers who are still here", albeit with some hesitation, Gayatri rushed out of the guest hall of honor and headed towards the resting place of the high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers such as Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Rajegwesi, Rakryan Purusoma and Demung Gumbreg and Tumenggung Sindupraja. Mapanji Jayagiri and Senopati Muda Jarasanda had already returned early to Kadiri. The third prince took with him Wanyan Lan who was now willing to become his concubine.
Soon after, Gayatri arrived with high-ranking Panjalu army officers. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately gave orders to them to prepare the Panjalu troops to return to Kadiri. By Panji Tejo Laksono, the leader of the Panjalu army was handed over to Tumenggung Ludaka. Once he finished giving the order, Panji Tejo Laksono called his four wives immediately and told them to channel his inner power to the young prince. Although a little did not understand what the purpose of the order of Panji Tejo Laksono, his four wives namely Luh Jingga, Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng and Gayatri obeyed the wishes of the prince.
In front of the high-ranking officers of Panjalu soldiers, Panji Tejo Laksono casts his Ajian Halimun spell. A thin white smoke began to cover the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono following his wives. A blink of an eye later, Panji Tejo Laksono and his four wives had already disappeared from the sight of everyone in the place.
Tumenggung Sindupraja smiled at the greatness of canuragan science owned by Panji Tejo Laksono. In his admiration, he mumbled softly.
"I have an amazing ghost"
