Part 118 Punishment the King
So Dea was satisfied. Because they had helped them, until they survived to the Parahyangan palace. The arrival of Dea and all the captives of the kingdom of Buana, welcomed by all members of the kingdom including the king of Askara and his other ministers.
They were all treated with food and received special care from the kingdom.
The heart of Dea was very happy at that time, because the residents who had returned from the kingdom of Buana, get maximum care in the kingdom of Parahyangan.
After they had rested enough, then King Askara, came out to see the condition of all of them.
"O my soldiers, why did you come out of the palace area secretly?"
"Punish us your majesty, King Buana has seduced us, by giving us the gift of a piece of land and sufficient treasure. So that we were influenced, by his seduction."
"Then you get to the kingdom of Buana, what have you got while there?"
"we get nothing noble, we're locked up in a dark hall."
"After you've been locked up what duty has the King of Buana given you?"
"We were told to worship King Buana, to prepare offerings and to perform rituals."
"then, besides that let alone the duty that King Buana gave you?"
"No one's noble, we're just locked up and can't get out."
"Have you got enough land and treasure, which the King of Buana promised you?"
"No majesty, the King of Buana only lamented, while he did not give us the treasure and the land."
"Obviously, who cheated you?"
"Obviously, King Buana has deceived us all."
"I wonder why you are fooled by the persuasion of the King of Buana. Isn't it while here, you guys are living a quiet life of adequacy and not feeling deprived at all."
"Yes, your honor, forgive us."
"Try on saying, what reason has made you want to move to the kingdom of Buana."
"There, King Buana promised us a plot of land and sufficient property, to cultivate the garden and live properly."
"Aren't you here, you also got a piece of land. Complete food and enough treasure. Then why are you so ambitious, wanting to move to the kingdom of Buana?"
Hearing the words of the king of Askara, all the people just bowed. They wanted to reveal the secret of the ministers, but he did not dare. Out of fear, the threat came to his family.
When everything was still, Dea, who was standing at the corner of the palace pillar, immediately moved towards King Askara.
"I know, what was the reason they moved to the kingdom of Buana!"
"What's my daughter?" asked King Askara to know.
"Because the ministers, who are in this Parahyangan kingdom, they have seized the land of the people and levied such high taxes on the people of Parahyangan. That is why, the people and soldiers of Parahyangan were eaten by the seduks of the king of Buana."
"What do you mean, my daughter?"
"Officers who have been around Papa all this time, their job is only to oppress the people. They levied a great tax, seized the property of the people. So is their crop."
"Hearing Dea's explanation, the king of Askara was immediately aghast. He's surprised by the braid. Unexpectedly at all, the ministers, turned out to have cornered him from behind.
"Really, what you've said is my daughter?"
"For the noble servant, it is impossible for the servant to lie to the noble one."
Hearing Dea's reply, King Askara instantly rose in blood. His face looks red. He hurriedly walked to the throne and announced that all the ministers and high officials of the kingdom should gather in the meeting room.
Hearing the Askara king's question, all the higher-ups and ministers could only remain silent. They could not raise their heads and speak honestly to the king. For what they have done, behind their own king.
"Bless your heads, speak frankly and don't convolve!" snapped the king of Askara, slapping the table in front of him.
"Punish the noble servant" replied Incense who was then serving as the royal advisor.
"Dupa, please explain to me what the ministers have done to my people, who are helpless out there."
"The officials and their ministers carried out the suppression, against the people of Parahyangan, to the knowledge of the king. They also levied too high taxes, depriving people of crops, livestock and property."
"Is that really true?"
"Yes, your Majesty the king."
"Then what are your actions, as the King's advisor, Incense?"
"Right now, I have dismissed twenty officials of ten ministers. They are now a soldier, to defend the kingdom of Parahyangan."
"No incense, they can't be soldiers. Give them the law of guidance, that their deeds may be a lesson to others."
Hearing the punishment, which will be handed down to ministers and royal officials, many of them petitioned. That his Majesty may forgive them."
"Pardon us your majesty, forgive us your majesty, forgive us your majesty" said the ministers and high officials of the kingdom.
"Now you have just asked for forgiveness, all this time you have misused the authority I gave you. You corrupt officials, do not deserve to be Parahyangan people. Get away from my kingdom, never serve here again, until the end of your life."
Hearing the words of the king of Askara, all the ministers who had been demoted into soldiers, could only cry.
After the meeting was over, they all came to Dea in the training room, Parahyangan kingdom.
"Help us, your majesty, help us" said several ministers and other officials.
"Please, what please?"
"Help us, your majesty, the king drove us out of the palace. He won't accept our petition, what should we do, your honor."
"If the King has made a decision, I can't do anything. Didn't you think about this before you did it?"
"We are noble caliphs, we are negligent and we are also greedy. Please help us, that we, may remain in this glorious kingdom."
"Defend, as what?"
"As for Your Majesty, it is important that we are given the opportunity to remain in this palace. Because out there, we can't afford to live with the other noble ones."
"You mean you can't join the people, out there?"
"Yes, Your Highness, we are not used to living together with them. Moreover, our sons, he is not used to living poor and hard."
"Ooo, so it is. Your sons, it's not uncommon to live a hard life. Then what about the people, who you've been making their lives suffer?"
"That's all because of our negligence, your honor. That's why we're sorry. Let us stay in this palace, though we have other duties."
"Alright, I'll consider it later. Now you disperse and return to your homes."
"Your highness" they answered.
