THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 185
"How's my wife doing?" Prabu Jabang Wiyagra asked one of Queen Ayu Anindya's servants.
"Gusti Ratu Ayu Anindya's news is very good Gusti Prabu. So too with its content. Maybe in the next two to three months, Gusti Ratu Ayu Anindya has given birth to Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra's son." Answer the maid.
"You boys or girls, I wish he could be my successor."
"Of course Gusti Prabu. Gusti Prabu Jabang Wiyagra was a wise king. Will have a good son and daughter, Gusti."
"I thank you all for taking good care of Queen Ayu Anindya. I wish I could repay your kindness, with something more meaningful for your future lives."
"No need to worry Gusti Prabu. For servants, it is acceptable in this kingdom is more than enough. The most important thing for the servant now is, peace for all who are under the leadership of Gusti Prabu."
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra stared at the faces of those who had been very long devoted to him with great dignity. The servants were not even married until now, because they still wanted to serve Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, and also served the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. The servants of Queen Ayu Anindya have served in the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela for many years.
During this time, they rarely went back to their families. They only send their salaries, for the lives of their families in the village. And for those who have no family, choose to remain in the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela, forever and ever. They never had the slightest intention of leaving the Viyagra Malela Kingdom, no matter the circumstances.
Even for those who already have no family, sometimes do not want to receive a salary from Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. They feel indebted to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, because their lives used to be very difficult and even most of them live on the streets. Who can only eat from the help of those who care about them. If no one feeds them, they will go hungry all day.
In their own place, they did not get a decent job. Many of their friends were made slaves. Their lives at that time were really oppressed and very miserable. But after they were taken by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, their lives changed completely. Especially after the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela was established, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra gave a place to them, becoming the servant of Queen Ayu Anindya.
Indeed most of the servants of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra are people who are displaced. People who are exiled from their own homeland. They were oppressed and only made slaves by the rich, without being given enough food rations. So that they are weak, thin, and susceptible to disease. The ingredients of most of them were also left to die just like that.
This atrocity was later discovered by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra at that time directly attacked all those who were masters of these slaves. Even Prabu Jabang Wiyagra finished them all off without a remnant. The masters of these slaves were killed in a sadistic manner. They all went home without heads.
That's where it all started until now. The women slaves then served Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. From before the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela was built, until now this kingdom has advanced, they remain loyal to accompany Prabu Jabang Wiyagra and all members of the palace family.
After finishing chatting with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra, the servants returned to the hiding place of Queen Ayu Anindya. They come to this place just to take their needs, and also the needs of Queen Ayu Anindya. Because soon Queen Ayu Anindya will soon give birth to her first child with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
That is why until now Queen Ayu Anindya has not been allowed to return to the palace. Because of his return it will endanger their child who will soon be born. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra also wants to put aside his personal problems first, and focus on government affairs. Because if something happens to the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela, then everyone in it will be affected.
Although actually Prabu Jabang Wiyagra really, really miss Queen Ayu Anindya, but what can you do? He was unwilling to harm his own family, especially his rightful heir to the throne. Whether later women or men, it will not be a problem for Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Because anyone has the right to be anything.
If his son is a man, he will be king. If the child born is a woman, she will be queen. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra has also prepared everything for the future of her children. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra still hides the existence of the magic warriors in the Land of Java, for the future government of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
Because one day, if the time comes, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra will release his leadership to the right person. That's when the leadership change will take place. And Prabu Jabang Wiyagra must be ready to face everything that lies ahead. What Prabu Jabang Wiyagra is most worried about is that until his children are unable to follow in his footsteps.
Being a leader is not easy. Being a leader is about protecting everything under it. Not just giving orders or directions. But it must also set, and be able to sort and choose, Who is the right person to carry out the command. Wrong just a little, everything will fall apart. It can even cause war.
Living in a royal environment is not easy. Sometimes the kingdom can be heaven for the king. But at certain times, a kingdom will be hell for all its inhabitants. Whether being a king or a queen, you will definitely feel the point where everything feels heavy. Dropped many times by a painful reality. Prosecuted to be okay, when things are not okay.
In his throne room, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra along with Maha Patih Lare Damar, Zafir, and Panglima Galang Tantra, were gathering to discuss their development in the conquered territories. Especially with the Kingdom of the Son of Malela, which had just been built.
"The success of Prabu Putra Candrasa and his troops in the mining area, made the enemy withdraw their remaining troops, Gusti Prabu." Maha Patih Lare Damar.
"Hamba also heard from the people, if Queen Mekar Senggani had a quarrel with Prabu Barajang, Gusti Prabu. And now, the leadership of the forces of the Kingdom of Bathara Bala is mostly held by Maha Patih Salara." Added Commander Galang Tantra.
"Hmmm... It will be good luck for all of us. Now they're starting to catch each other. I am sure there will soon be a war between the great kingdoms. When it comes to Maha Patih Salara, he would have wanted to coup his own king."
"Then what is Gusti Prabu's next plan?" Maha Patih Lare Damar.
"I'll let them go first, for now. But keep our troops ready. Do not withdraw the invading forces near the Kingdom of Panca Warna. Let them stay there. I wonder how things will go next."
"Gusti Prabu."
