THE SUN GOD SWORD
The Swarnadwipa 9
In the morning, the sun really shines brighter than usual. This is a sign that the ritual that Saylendra will hold has the support of the universe.
Sungsang Geni has been cleaning his body since dawn, at the warm baths he likes the most. The young man wore a change of clothes on a large closet filled with about 100 change of clothes.
He sorted out the most simple and cheap looking, the most comfortable clothes to wear. Meanwhile, Commander Ireng was still snoring right at the exit of the room.
Since returning from prison, the young man could not sit quietly. He walked back and forth, sat up and stood up as he ruffled his shaken hair with a reddish-yellow cloth.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of his room, guarding Commander Ireng abruptly. The wolf looked so irritated, sniffing his nose several times at the small crack under the door, then growling.
“Prince Geni..” Five beautiful servants were at the door, two of them always showed the sweetest face they had. Trying to flirt, brave enough because Cempaka Ayu did not come with them.
“Your Majesty the King invites you to breakfast, at the dining table.”
“Dining space!” Theme added.
“Wait a minute.” Sungsang Geni then went into the room for a while, then came back out with Commander Ireng.
The two maids who were trying to flirt instantly turned frightened and pale-faced. He walked backwards, avoiding Commander Ireng's sharp gaze.
“Do not be afraid, he will not prey on humans.” Sungsang Geni smiled slightly.
A few minutes later, the young man was in the new dining room. It wasn't the dining room that had ever carved out a slightly scary story. The dining room was not as large as the previous dining room, but it looked more comfortable as it faced the wide-open windows of the Palace.
There was already Cempaka Ayu there, sitting in the apit by Rindang Sari and Windur Hati. This time the clothes that the girl was wearing were orange, no but indeed all the clothes of the royal members were orange, other than Sungsang Geni was black.
“Please sit My Son..!” Rindang Sari said.
Sungsang Geni chose the seat closest to the window. Right next to him, Wira Mangkubumi was fondling his son cheerfully. Then one servant was asked to put his son in a baby basket of gold and silk.
The baby looked very irritated in his basket.
They ate food, while the situation was quite quiet from the first time Sungsang Geni ate with his parents. No stories came out of their mouths.
It was only after everything was finished eating that Sungsang Geni said his intention to return to the Java Plain today as well. It's not good to delay any longer, maybe the war has already started.
The face of Rindang Sari who was first sad to hear the intention of his son. Of course, it has not been finished with Sungsang Geni, but now it will be separated.
“Wouldn't you be in this place in a few days, Son?”
“No Mom, they're waiting for my return. We have a big problem to solve, so there is no more time to relax.”
Rindang Sari is getting sadder, if the departure of Sungsang Geni just as an ordinary adventure, is not a problem. But Sungsang Geni will leave with war in his hands, there is no guarantee he will return safely.
War never happens in a matter of days, anything can happen.
“Relax Mom, I just need your blessing. There is nothing better than your blessing.” Sungsang Geni gave a small smile towards the woman, but still could not calm his heart.
While Hulubalang who had betrayed got the appropriate reward, was dumped from the Swarnadwipa region. There was nowhere that could accept the man on this land.
Saylendra was quite compassionate to him, because he had served for almost 20 years as Hulubalang who took care of Saylendra.
The hulubalang can disappear, or also make whatever it touches disappear. That's why no one knew that he was a traitor who led Salendra through the crowd.
But Sungsang Geni had already crippled all his inner flow of energy, there was nothing he could do but regret.
Sungsang Geni had two objects in the box, one a letter sealed for Lakuning Banyu, and another a red badge.
“Swarnadwipa will open hands to receive the people of Java plains in refugee, not only that, we will meet all the needs of the refugees.” Saylendra then fell silent for a moment, turning to Wira Mangkubumi. “I will ask, Wira Mangkubumi leads the 10000 best soldiers we have, to help you guys.”
“An unexpected surprise.” Sungsang Geni was so happy to hear his father's words just now. “This will be very helpful, that much team gives a little hope for us.”
“Don't be too hopeful, the soldiers we have may not be as strong as the soldiers in the Java plain,” said Wira Mangkubumi. “We haven't been at war for a long time, some soldiers may not have jumped into the battlefield.”
Sungsang Geni understands that, but it is not a problem, after all some people in Surasena also have never plunged into the battlefield.
Then Saylendra pulled out a black book from the black box that had just been handed over by Hulubalang. It was not as thick as the books he had read in the library. There are probably only 100 or 120 pages.
“This is a war strategy book that has been stored for more than 100 years, created by your mother's ancestor.”
Sungsang Geni got up from the wooden chair, and approached his father with sparkling eyes.
“In it there are 60 strategies in war, Swarnadwipa never used this book. But it seems like the destiny of this book is yours, use it wisely and take what has been taken from your country. I'm sure you can bring peace, because you are the chosen one.”
Sungsang Geni almost cried when he heard Saylendra's words, he could not help but worship the man's feet. “Thank you very much, Daddy”
Rindang Sari then stood up, raised Sungsang Geni's body and placed something on his palm. “Mother doesn't have something that you deserve, but..”.
Rindang Sari then whispered in Sungsang Geni's ear, making everyone look so curious. Meanwhile Sungsang Geni became a little tense, then turned towards Cempaka Ayu for a moment and looked back at his mother.
“That thing is fine,” Rindang Sari then wiped the tears on her face. "I wanted to give it to you at the best time, but I guess..."
“When will you be back?” Wira Mangkubumi asked.
“This jiang.” says Sungsang Geni.
“Thank God, you can witness the ritual of naming your ponakan.” Windur Heart became relieved.
“And also everyone should know that you are my son.” Rindang Sari added the next ritual.
hope someone likes it...
