THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 167
"Sorry Kakang Prabu, is it not too cruel that Kakang Prabu applies such a thing in prison?" Tanya Maha Patih Lare Damar to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
"Cruel Dimas Patih. Very violent. But that is the thing that will make them all aware, if no human is invincible forever. Everyone will be a real person in time. Weak and have no power."
Maha Patih Lare Damar begins to understand what is happening in the palace of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. There have been many prisoners who have been deliberately denied justice. So that they all feel what is called suffering. But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not give such punishment equally. Except for the prisoners in the dungeon.
The cruel side of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was formed since the great war occurred. The suffering and cruelty he saw, shaped him into a kind, cruel figure. The two opposing qualities make him a strong and tough person. At once hard to anyone who dares to make chaos and wrath.
"Do you know Dimas Patih? Sometimes, one can be made aware of two things."
"Is that Kakang Prabu?"
"First of all, he changed because of someone. And secondly, he changed because of the circumstances. If our enemies are not able to change because of someone, then change them by circumstance."
Maha Patih Lare Damar nodded his head in understanding what Prabu Jabang Wiyagra said. There are still many things that must be learned by Maha Patih Lare Damar. He served as Maha Patih for several days. He still has to adapt to his position now. Sometimes, a Maha Patih is forced to act cruelly.
Even if you do not like it, but that is the responsibility that must be done by a Maha Patih. For the sake of his country, a Maha Patih must set aside his personal interests. The interests of the state are the interests of many. If a Maha Patih violates his oath, he may be dishonorably removed from office, and severely punished.
Maha Patih Lare Damar still has to learn many things in this place. Although sometimes he asks too much Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, but Prabu Jabang Wiyagra never tired to teach him something. Unlike Prabu Putra Candrasa who has been with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra for many years.
Now, Prabu Putra Candrasa is in the former territory of the Yellow Wesi Kingdom. Aided by Maha Patih Galangan, Prabu Putra Candrasa began to rebuild. While the Prabu Bentes palace was completely destroyed, at the request of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra does not want Prabu Putra Candrasa to occupy the former Prabu Bentes palace.
Let the Prabu Bawesi palace be abolished, and left only limited to memories. Even the giant pillars were destroyed, until they were completely destroyed. His foundation was dug up again by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's stealth forces. So that there is not a single drop of the former Prabu Sulawesi in the land. And there was only Prabu Putra Candrasa, as the new king, with a new palace.
Maha Patih Galangan even supports it, because Maha Patih Galangan also wants to open a new page in his life, without the shadow of Prabu Sulawesi. Although Maha Patih Galangan has changed, but there is still a little bit of his love for Prabu Sulawesi. Maha Patih Galangan equally do not want that compassion.
He really wants to get rid of Prabu Sulawesi completely. Because when Maha Patih Galangan recalled about Prabu Babes, Maha Patih Galangan also remembered with all the cruelty he did with his king. Those bad memories caused deep trauma. As well as making his mind hurt and tortured.
Unfortunately, many of them have died. And the living chose to seclude themselves to a faraway place. They were all traumatized by the kings who oppressed their people. Many people of the Yellow Wesi Kingdom left the Prabu region of Sulawesi.
They were all willing to live in remote forests. Forming their own village. Live peacefully in a place that is not easily accessible to careless people. They no longer want to be tied to any kingdom. Because they have been disappointed many times by Prabu Sulawesi, who often oppress their own people.
"Maha Patih, it's good that you start getting used to it. I know, you still feel very guilty about the sins you have committed. But it's no good, if you keep torturing yourself like this." Prabu Putra Candrasa said to Maha Patih Galangan.
"Yes Gusti Prabu. The servant tried it. But, I really can't forget it, Gusti. The sins I committed were many. The servant may never obtain forgiveness from the Almighty."
"Don't say that. It will hurt yourself, Oftentimes. Everyone always has the opportunity to change. I did the wrong thing, and so did everyone else. Not just you, Oftentimes."
"....You were my enemy before, but now, you are my brother. Once brother. And I would not be willing to see my brother go through suffering and misery. I want you to feel happiness you've never had."
"Thank you Gusti Prabu. Gusti Prabu is very kind to servants. I swear by Gusti, I will not stop serving, even if I am dead."
Prabu Putra Candrasa smiled at Maha Patih Galangan. Now, the look on Maha Patih Galangan's face has changed. It was like a light was shining on his face. He no longer looked cruel and cruel. His face seemed more dignified and had the honor of being a Maha Patih.
And what makes Prabu Putra Candrasa happy is, Maha Patih Galangan want to carry out the task to help the people of the Kingdom of the Son of Malela. He was not even ashamed to get along with anyone. Even with the common people. Maha Patih Galangan also divided giving his spoils to Prabu Putra Candrasa.
It was supported by the seven Patih people who helped him. They all also served as Prabu Putra Candrasa. With a new king, the land of the former Prabu Sulawesi power will become a fertile and prosperous land. Because even though the Kingdom of the Son of Malela has not been built completely, but the influence of Prabu Putra Candrasa is already inherent in the hearts of its people.
Prabu Putra Candrasa also reduced the cost of taxes that had been too choking the people of the Yellow Wesi Kingdom. To make the poor enslaved in the mines. And create prolonged suffering. After Maha Patih Putra Candrasa was appointed as a king, he began to make security in mining, and also in various other areas.
Employ his people with the right wages. Give them a place worth living. They gave them land to grow. And continue the development previously held by Maha Patih Lare Damar. All construction, both palace and others, is expected to be completed within a year.
