THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 51
After arriving at the palace, the messenger was immediately taken to a treatment room. Because he had so many wounds on his body. His body was dirty and smelly. Finished treated, he was directed to bathe in a pond commonly used by the palace soldiers.
The messenger was astonished, for there had never been a single kingdom that treated him like that. He was treated very well at the palace of Wiyagra Malela.
The people in the palace were also very friendly, very different from the villagers outside, who were eager to slam him.
All the things in this palace made him think, if the news of the wind he got was the true news. He has experienced it himself.
Hospitality, beauty, coolness, peace, and tranquility are all in this place. And maybe this kingdom is the only place like heaven.
“Befit Prabu Jabang Wiyagra highly admired.” The man murmured in his heart.
After he finished in the pool. He was then taken to a small room to eat and rest in that place. Food and drink were available for him.
Patih Kinjiri came back to the messenger. The messenger thanked Patih Kinjiri for all the kindness he gave. That person was already impatient to meet with Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
“Enjoy your food first. Only after that, we will meet Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.” Patih Kinjiri.
“Prabu Bujang Antasura definitely can't wait to hear from me. So, I can't linger in this place.”
“....I was just assigned to give up a letter to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. And after that, I just have to wait for the answer. Then return to Antasura Kingdom.” Answer the man.
“Abdi the faithful, yes?” Patih Kinjiri said while sitting on one of the chairs.
“But the thing is, Prabu Jabang Wiyagra won't see you before you finish that food and drink.”
“Hmm... Yep. Yep. Yes.”
The man offered his food and drink to Patih Kinjiri. But Patih Kinjiri won't. In the small room, the messenger gradually began to open the conversation.
He praised the various things that existed in the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. He felt like he was in his own home. He was amazed by everyone in Wiyagra Malela.
Everyone is united for one thing. And as if they were one thought. Like a descendant. It is difficult to distinguish between different people.
According to the envoy, this kingdom should already be a much larger kingdom than it is now. And deserve to be the mother of all the kingdoms in the land of Java.
“Why do you think like that?” Ask Patih Kinjiri.
The man said, and made his own kingdom an example of all. War, a great loss. And bring great suffering. There is always something to sacrifice.
“Even if we become winners, we still lose. Now, the Antasura Kingdom was already on the verge of destruction. Just because of one person, one person. There are a lot of people who have to die. Including my brothers.” Answer the man.
And it turns out, that man was a Patih who survived because of his brother. Just then Gabah Lanang attacked with all the strength he had, so in an instant, a lot of people died.
That person should have died at the time of fighting Gabah Lanang. Because Gabah Lanang issued a science of punch to attack this messenger.
“But when my death was in sight, my brother chose to take my place. There's nothing I can do but stare blankly at him.” Said the man in a sad tone.
The man stopped eating. He drank one drink in a large cup and immediately stood up, to prepare to meet Prabu Jabang Wiyagra.
Patih Kinjiri waited for the man outside the room by closing the door. The messenger replaced his torn clothes with the clothes given by Patih Kinjiri.
The dress was red with a red cloth to cross over her chest. He also wears a headband that is both red.
The clothes were as a symbol, if the person was under the protection of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela. So no one can hurt him, except that person who hurt others first.
When he was ready, he was taken to a place. Very large room. The throne room of Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. There are also a lot of people gathered.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra stood up to welcome the arrival of the man. The envoy immediately saluted and immediately explained the intention of his arrival to the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
“Receive the honor of the servant, Gusti Prabu. Servant says thousands of thanks for this excellent welcome.” Said the messenger.
“I accept you in front of me. What message have you brought from Antasura Kingdom?”
The man immediately gave the important letter he was carrying. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra opened the letter and read it directly in his heart, because it was a special letter for him.
The letter was very long. And Prabu Jabang Wiyagra shook his head after he read the contents of the letter. I don't know what the letter is, nobody knows.
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra also gave orders to Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar to come with this person to the palace of Antasura Kingdom.
“Lare Damar.”
“Hamba Kakang.”
“Go with Patih Kinjiri, and come with this person to Antasura Kingdom. There, you have to meet Prabu Bujang Antasura.”
“......Tell him that you are the one I sent to help Prabu Bujang Antasura.”
“Good Kakang Prabu.”
“And remember. If Prabu Bujang Antasura leaves you a message for me, on that day you must go home to the palace.”
“Nggih Kakang Prabu's. Slave with Patih Kinjiri will leave right now, and run all orders from Kakang Prabu.”
“Depart.”
Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri then went to the palace of Antasura Kingdom with the messenger. The three of them were given a horse to speed up their journey to the palace.
I do not know what the contents of the letter, which is clear Prabu Jabang Wiyagra looks sad after he read it. It is possible that Prabu Bujang Antasura really needs his help.
And it could be that the contents of the letter are a plea for help for something bigger, than just helping the treatment of Prabu Bujang Antasura. Prabu Jabang Wiyagra did not disclose in detail what the letter was.
But Prabu Jabang Wiyagra said that the Antasura Kingdom could have collapsed, because all the people in Antasura Kingdom had doubted the leadership of Prabu Bujang Bujang Antasura.
Plus, now Prabu Bujang Antasura is experiencing severe pain, after his fight with Ditya Kalana. His legacy of pride even to the point of being smashed. Which means, part of Prabu Bujang Antasura has been lost for ever.
