Mahisa Dara made a meeting at the training palace, this time Prabhu Suraprabhawa's son-in-law wants to involve the newly adopted Patih Lohdaya.
In addition to asking for opinions, Mahisa Dara wanted to see the attitude of Patih Lohdaya in terms of his loyalty to Majapahit, especially to Prabhu Suraprabhawa himself.
Because the loyalty of Patih Lohdaya has not been tested, especially the one who carries it is Mahisa Dara himself.
" This is Patih's uncle, there is something I want to ask uncle, which is his increased relationship per about an between Kotaraja Majapahit this with the duchy of Pamotan,!" mahisa Dara.
" What does a prince want, ask, right,?" ask Patih Lohdaya.
" What steps are best done to prevent Pamotan from attacking Kotaraja Majapahit,?" ask Mahisa Dara.
" Would not be as good as Kotaraja Majapahit do the bargaining peddling with Pamotan,!" said Patih Lohdaya a patih in the Prabhu Bhatara Purwawisesa period and now adopted again after the death of Patih Kebo Mundira.
" I mean, another way besides having to negotiate with Pamotan,!" mahisa Dara said again.
" Why the prince did not agree with the way of negotiations, because at a time like this most likely the Duke of Pamotan would accept it,!" patih Lohdaya said again.
" What matters is not the way of negotiation, ter handah what is the way,!" mahisa Dara's insistence is a bit furious.
" Look prince, we can and can defeat Pamotan if it results in killing his Duke, besides there may be no other way to overcome Pamotan,!" patih Lohdaya was loud.
Looking at the head of Mahisa Dara mangosteen, he understood the words of Patih sepuh Majapahit.
" But who could have killed the Duke of Pamotan, Uncle Patih,?" ask her again.
" Ahhh, that is difficult, maybe if in the Majapahit place there will be no one who can do it, whether from the other country,!" reply Patih Lohdaya.
" It's true what your uncle Patih said, who could have killed that Bhre Kertabhumi, !" said Mahisa Dara while clenching her hands.
" Or the prince could make a contest on this matter, who knows if there are those who want and are able to defeat the Duke of Pamotan,!" patih Lohdaya.
" Good, the thought of uncle Patih is quite good, later I will tell Ramanda Prabhu, that anyone who is able to defeat the Duke of Pamotan is especially able to kill him, Bintara's pedestal and its surroundings will be theirs,!" mahisa Dara.
" Maybe that is the best way to overcome the Duke of Pamotan,!" patih Lohdaya.
" And one more thing the prince, the reception of the new Soldier must be done to balance the number of the Pamotan Warrior, who continues to receive new soldiers, must be done, even today there is the name of his stealth troops,!" say Patih Lohdaya again
" What Patih uncle does have a thought that deserves to be reliable right,!" mahisa Dara said again.
" Well, Uncle Patih, I will do the thought of Patih's uncle,!" mahisa Dara.
