THE SUN GOD SWORD
Political Prisoners
Hearing the report of the Dalo Reef, Dewangga stood up. “What do you mean Senopati Karang Dalo? I know that your Kingdom is not very familiar with Majangkara, but the slander you say I cannot accept.”
The atmosphere of the room became tense, the Innate became burning with emotional flames, so he paid no more attention to his status in Surasena Palace.
On the other hand, Warkudara smiled happily. Indeed, he had a big plan for Surasena, but did not expect Majangkara Kingdom that instead started his plan well.
‘It looks like we managed to conquer one of the formidable opponents, Cih, once rowed two three points exceeded.’ Inner Warkudara laughed happily.
Warkudara then tried to look panicked like the others, his face made tense. “What...what do you mean Senopati Karang Dalo? although my relationship with Prince Dewangga is not so good, but I believe Majangkara warriors can not do embarrassing things.”
“Really! What do you mean, Senopati?” The voice of King Cakra Mandala became heavy and his lungs, his warm gaze turned cynical.
“Ma’afkan me Your Majesty, but what I said is true. There were many eyewitnesses who saw their actions. At first I also did not believe and tried to catch them well, but they put up a resistance without guilt, so I killed them all.” Dalo Coral.
Then dozens of soldiers entered the room, with spears drawn towards the Innocence.
“Once again ma’af me noble, but Crown Prince Dewangga must be detained until this case is investigated.”
King Cakra mandala looked at Dewangga sharply, some time ago he had thought Dewangga was a suitable husband candidate for his daughter, but his view now turned to anger.
“Bring this Prince of Majangkara to the Political Prisoner room!”
Cakra Mandala intended to put Dewangga in criminal custody, but his decision was soon reversed when he realized that Dewangga was the Crown Prince of Majangkara who was politically tied to Surasena. So political resistance, is enough for the prince of Majangkara.
“Hamba understands His Majesty.” Said Coral Dalo, then mobilized all his soldiers to bring Dewangga to the detention room.
The adult cannot do anything at this time, other than accept the decision with the air. He glanced at Warkudara for a moment before being forced by the prjurits to walk to leave the meeting room.
On the other hand the inner prince Nala Setya said the kingdom of Majangkara was deliberately framed by the Dalo Reef, but of course he did not have evidence to justify his inner being.
“Begin Your Majesty, what if we continue the discussion about the proposal of His Majesty's daughter.” As if there was no problem, Warkudara said so to King Cakra Mandala.
King Cakra Mandala did not reply, he looked at Warkudara unhappily then quickly turned around, leaving the room with his guards followed.
“This application is listed!” said Prince Lakuning Banyu, then passed leaving Warkudara and Nala Setya in the room.
Prince Lakuning Banyu despite his age as Dewangga, but his speech has represented the father of his handler Cakra Mandala. Because of his genius, Lakuning Banyu has represented Surasena in many ways related to political and economic problems when cooperating with the kingdom he controlled.
Lakuning Banyu was indeed not good at fighting, but he was said to be the most genius at organizing strategy in warfare.
***
The villager was pushed by 3 burly warriors, entering the room filled with iron bars. It was a prison for political prisoners, big enough but enough to humiliate the dignity of the Innocence.
He walked slowly towards the small window filled with iron bars, the sound of chains entangling his legs clattering. The chain was connected to his two hands, it was never expected that Dewangga would wear this thing for his entire life.
From behind the small window, he could see the legs of the guard passing by. The Dewangga detention room was apparently in the ground, with the window facing the surface.
“Prince of Fraud!” suddenly a voice came from a different holding room, “Are you okay?”
The neighbor immediately turned to the source of the voice, then found the person he had known wearing the same chain as himself. “Mahesa, Gadhing?”
When he said Gadhing's name, Dewangga's face became irritated. Not only looks relaxed, Gadhing even had time to sleep in this prison.
“Mahesa?” tanya Dewangga, “Explain to me what happened while I was in the palace.”
Mahesa then began to explain in outline, she did not really know all the problems in detail. But in general, Karang Dalo accused the Majangkara Kingdom of trying to steal and kill the prince of Warkudara.
“So Durada and the four soldiers have been killed?” asked Dewangga, his face looked sad, as Prince Majangkara he had failed to protect his subordinates. “Then, how are Sungsang Geni?”
“No news yet about him, he left almost at the same time as you, Prince.”
“I hope there are no problems with him.” said Dewangga, currently he holds great hopes for Sungsang Geni.
“We've been framed Prince!” said Mahesa, her face reddened imagining the incident she had just experienced, “I believe the Dalo Coral, deliberately defamatory for its benefit.”
Dewangga thinks the same as Mahesa, even Dewangga imagines the purpose of Karang Dalo is not just limited to the wedding of Prince Warkudara, maybe more than that. But Dewangga has not been able to deduce what the purpose of the Dalo Reef really is.
After 2 hours they were in prison, suddenly the sound of bronze bells rang 4 times. Then followed by boisterous sounds of soldiers moving hastily.
“Mahesa! It was a sign of the Kingdom in mourning!” dewangga. He was very sure the sound of four times on a bell was death, 9 times the sign of suffering while 8 times was a sign of luck.
“Now what else is going on in this palace? why is our arrival unlucky?” mahesa.
Vaguely Dewangga and Mahesa heard screams from outside the prison, some people were heard crying then some others complained while shouting hysterically.
“Care us...!”
“We have to find the culprit as soon as possible, catch everyone suspicious!”
Mahesa raised her eyebrows, her brain began to spin trying to guess who had died. The noise also awakens Gadhing, who is fast asleep, as he makes a wailing sound at his feet and the stairs vibrate .
“Wait! What happened?” Mahesa managed to pull the collar of one of the soldiers who ran through the door of his prison, from behind the bars the soldier was trying to fight. “Tell me what happened?”
“Surasena is in disarray, His Majesty King Cakra Mandala has died in his room!” the soldier's words were stammering.
Hearing that remark, Mahesa unintentionally released her grip making the soldier immediately run away.
Both Mahesa and Dewangga were shocked, their eyes glaring and staring at each other. As soon as there were a lot of blue veins coming out of the Dewangga's forehead, his head hurt. This incident will drag other problems into the Palace of Surasena.
“The sudden death of Cakra Mandala makes the power of Surasena become lame.” said Dewangga, he imagined things far ahead, like there will be some work that tries to escape, he said, or the Demon Bats who began to dare to show themselves.
