Sanggana Swordsman
PAC10: Prabu Cokro Ningrat
*Fight For Love (PAC)*
A bare-chested warrior walked hurriedly along the corridor that had the guard of a spear-tailed and masked warrior. He finally arrived at the edge of a field, where a young man and a beautiful young woman were fighting a match.
On the edge of the field that was like a small but luxurious stage, sat casually a dashing man in a thick mustache. She was dressed in luxurious red with gold and silver jewelry adorning her clothes and body. His head was adorned with jewels as a king in the kingdom. For the size of a man almost half a century old, it includes a handsome man with a pointed nose model.
On the right and left sides of the carved padded seats, which were occupied by Prabu Cokro Ningrat's, each stood three warriors. Behind his head were two wide fans adorned with bird feathers rising and falling, giving a smooth breeze. The long-handled fan was fanned by two female maids.
In front of Prabu Cokro Ningrat there is a table on which is covered a basket of fruit and a glass of silver material.
“Sincerely servant, Your Highness Prabu!” said the newly arrived soldier kneeling in respect with his head bowed.
“Hmm, say!” prabu Cokro Ningrat's orders without turning his eyes to his two children who are training to fight.
“Mahapatih Yudi Mandala has arrived, Your Majesty!” report the soldier.
“What does he bring?” asked Prabu Cokro Ningrat quickly, he turned to look at the soldier. His eyes seemed happy.
“Mahapatih came with a team of Wind Sword Group carrying a stretcher,” the soldier reported.
“Go, direct Mahapatih Yudi Mandala come here!” the command of Prabu Cokro Ningrat, his face was smiling happily.
“Good, Your Highness.”
The soldier immediately left after saluting and inching back.
Prabu Cokro Ningrat stood up from his seat.
Plok plok plok!
Prabu Cokro Ningrat clapped his hands three times to attract the attention of his two children. Prince Zulkar Nain and Princess Alifa Homar stopped fighting. Both looked at their father.
“Quite, your new mother-to-be has arrived! Hahaha!” exclaimed Prabu Cokro Ningrat then laughed.
Prince Zulkar Nain and Princess Alifa Homar just looked at each other and pulled the corner of his lips, a sign of displeasure. Although Prabu Cokro Ningrat caught that expression, but he still smiled. There was joy in his heart.
Prince Zulkar Nain is a handsome young man with a non-native nose. His pair of eyebrows were thick with a pair of wide, sparkling eyes. His sideburns and thick thin beard actually played his stature. He was wearing a luxurious green dress. Behind her waist was tucked a nice keris, but it was not used during the fight against her sister.
Princess Alifa Homar is a tall girl. The plumpness of her nose makes her beauty difficult to find both. He also has a pair of thick eyebrows with pliable eyelashes, matching the wide eye model. Her skin is pure white model milk color. He was wearing a blue fist covered in a black silver embroidered shirt. Her hair was decorated with pearl gold.
His sister was born to an Arab mother. Their mother died three months ago. Therefore, Prabu Cokro Ningrat is cravings for a new wife.
Two servants immediately came to the king's two sons to give the sweat dryer cloth.
“Ayahanda, we beg you!” prince Zulkar Nain.
“Eh, you don't want to meet your future mother?” ask Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
“Excuse us, Father!” said Princess Alifa Homar then menjura salute to her father. The same goes for Prince Zulkar Nain.
Prabu Cokro Ningrat just exhaled heavily. He knew why his two children would disagree if he remarried.
Finally Prabu Cokro Ningrat waited. Although saddened by the rejection of his two sons, but his heart was cheerful because the woman he had dreamed of since young would soon be in his arms.
Not long after, from the end of the corridor was seen a group of men were walking towards the place. The group was led by Mahapatih Yudi Mandala. The troops that were with him were the Wind Sword Group. Four of them carried a black stretcher.
“Sincerely servant, Your Highness Prabu!” said Mahapatih Yudi Mandala when he arrived at the field, in front of Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
The twenty people of the Wind Sword Group also saluted in unison. The stretcher they were carrying was immediately placed right in front of Prabu Cokro Ningrat's feet on the stage.
“Wake!” the Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
He immediately opened the stretcher cover in front of him. Shining a pair of eyes Prabu Cokro Ningrat saw a beautiful figure inside that long stretcher.
“Getara Cinta,” he said smiling. “After almost nineteen years, I finally looked back at you. Your beauty is still beautifully preserved.”
“But, Mahapatih..”.
“Oh, forgive me, Your Highness Prabu. Queen Getara was asleep due to the influence of Long Sleeping Poison belonging to the King of Swords to make it easier to carry it,” explained Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
“Does his face really have to be this pale?” ask Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
The face of Queen Getara Love is indeed very pale, like a face without blood. If it were not for her breathing movements on her chest, perhaps Queen Getara Love would have been presumed dead.
“When we attacked to the Windscreen, Queen Getara was in sick condition, Her Majesty Prabu. So, His Holiness Prabu should call the best healer to treat it,” said Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
“How much longer will he wake up?” ask Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
“Maybe tonight, Your Highness Prabu.”
“Hmm,” mumbled Prabu Cokro Ningrat. He looked for a moment at the woman who used to make him crazy, before he was finally betrothed by his late wife. He closed the stretcher. Then ask him again to his retainer, “What about Prince Serak Bayat?”
“Eee...” drone Mahapatih Yudi Mandala. He looks a bit confused.
“What's up? Did something bad happen to Serak Bayat?” asked Prabu Cokro Ningrat in a rather high tone.
“When we were almost to the Rocky Jungle, the Prince's bodyguards met the servant. The bodyguard said that Prince Serak Bayat had been killed..”.
“What?!” shock Prabu Cokro Ningrat speechless tensed. His eyes wildly looked over here and there erratically.
“My son, my son is dead?” asked Prabu Cokro Ningrat again, hoping that he heard wrong.
“True, His Eminence Prabu,” firmly Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
Shake a pair of legs Prabu Cokro Ningrat. He immediately held on to the hand of his big chair, then fell down.
“Your Majesty Prabu!” say Mahapati Yudi Mandala worried.
“Who killed him?” asked Prabu Cokro Ningrat with a hunting breath. A grudge appeared within his chest.
“Prince Serak was killed by a mercenary Queen Getara named Ragatos. Because of that incident, I decided to make the death of the Prince as an excuse to attack the Windscreen Kingdom,” said Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
“How can he fight with the mercenary Queen Getara?” ask Prabu Cokro Ningrat. His right hand patted the wooden hand of his chair.
“Prince Serak fell in love with Queen Aswa Tara, so he wanted to be a champion in the Well Champion match against the heroes of Queen Getara,” replied Mahapatih.
“Then what do you do to the Windscreen so that it can bring Queen Getara?” ask Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
“Ampuni servant, His Majesty Prabu. There is no other way, we have to kill all the Windscreen people in order to bring Queen Getara. Otherwise, it will be difficult,” said Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
“So you guys burned down the Windscreen Kingdom?”
“True. Thus, Queen Getara has no reason to return to the Rocky Jungle,” kilah Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
Prabu Cokro Ningrat took a deep breath.
“What can I do. Think of the destruction of the Windscreen as a payment for the death of Hoarse Bayat,” said Prabu Cokro Ningrat.
“The King of Swords has gone to the Duchy of Rebaklaga to replace the Duke of Rumak Gulai. After organizing the government in the duchy, he will come reporting, His Majesty Prabu,” said Mahapatih Yudi Mandala.
“Good. Mahapatih, I allow you to go home to rest. My gift will soon be delivered to your residence.”
“Thousand thanks, Your Highness Prabu.” (BH)
