KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Have You Not Realized It, Uncle?

Participants were given a week to prepare.

At the request of the king, the second contest was held in the palace square.

The royal courtiers back and forth took turns to meet Manik Baya to ask the needs and needs of the old man related to the competition. But instead of asking for equipment and the like as they suspected, it turns out that Manik Baya only asked to be provided by a lute music player in his room to stay.

The participants themselves are busy training themselves. Although they do not know what kind of challenges they will face in this re-run, they believe that any challenge will inevitably involve strength as a swordsman.

As for Gentayu, during the waiting period it is used to meditate at night and receive instructions from Manik Baya during the day.

Manik Baya who has recognized Gentayu as his student will inevitably have an interest in Gentayu's superiority in this competition. His glorious name is currently at stake through Gentayu.

Although Manik Baya actually does not need the fame and big name, but basically Manik Baya is interested in Gentayu characters. So, every day Gentayu receives many tips and scientific insights from Manik Baya.

Without Gentayu realized, the advice and scientific insight he received from Manik Baya was high-level and very rare science. Thus, Manik Baya is currently his first official teacher as long as he is stranded in this world of danyang.

In the kaputren complex, a young girl with an inhuman beauty is seen pacing around uneasily.

A middle-aged woman and Kaputren palace ladies approached him. Two ladies-in-waiting put a vessel filled with spice potion water to soak the princess' feet, while the middle-aged woman stood behind the princess's seat. Tidying up her mom's hair.

His long, black hair was draped along his back, supported by a slender, lofty body and spotless pure white skin making him worthy of the fight of all men who saw him.

She is the daughter of Cendrawani, the angel who is being contested in the competition, two days away.

The day before the meeting at the grand paseban hall was held, princess Cendrawani had actually breathed a sigh of relief. His brother, prince Jatilaga informed him that none of the participants had made it through the challenge.

Without anyone knowing, when the competition was held, Cendrawani's heart had fallen in love with a foreign youth. Unfortunately, the foreign youth is not one of the participating princes of the competition that will be held. Even he had never met the original figure of the young man.

The young man who had made her fall in love was the figure present in her dream for five consecutive nights, two months ago. When one by one applicants came, he always observed their faces only to be disappointed because the young man was not included in the row of participants who proposed to him.

When he heard there was a foreign youth not a participant who managed to pass the obstacles, Cendrawani hoped that it was the young man in his dream.

Unfortunately, when he saw the figure of Gentayu at a glance, he had to be disappointed once again because Gentayu, the Duke of Mount Padang was also not a young man who had made him long unclear.

“Is not any of the applicants who are able to attract your heart, nduk.” said emban (caregiver) Cendrawani while styling the hair of his foster child. The emban is a white-haired middle-aged woman who has accompanied the souvenir since infancy.

Cendrawani just shook his head slowly with his head lowered. Her tears melted down her delicate alabaster cheeks without being able to be dammed when imagining having to end up being the wife of someone she did not love. Whoever wins.

The day of the contest has arrived. The square has been filled with people who want to watch the way the ability of the prospective royal daughter-in-law. A magnificent stage had stood at the edge of the square. But, other than the grand stage, there was nothing there.

“What the fuck? Why is there nothing but that statue in the square? No arena, no challenge prepared?”

This question is almost the whole audience.

They think that a competition should be done with a fairly mature preparation, with equipment and a gambreng all things complete.

But they all did not find something that changed at all with the square planned to be the venue for the competition.

All the summoned retainers replied with uniform answers. That Manik Baya so far did not ask them anything. In fact, they were asked to take care of something else.

Hearing this, Patih Mangkubumi could only frown.

His mind became tangled.

Could it be that the Begawan Manik Baya is playing them. If true, then whatever the risk of Manik Baya must be severely punished!

Patih mangkubumi finally shuffled away and met the king to report his findings. The king who received the report only smiled meaningfully.

“You haven't noticed it yet, uncle patih?” said the king, making the Patih Mangkubumi confused.

‘Is there anything I missed?’ her mind. But he did not dare to speak it before his king.

“Please forgive me Gusti prabu. Slave lacking insight. Please kindly give instructions.” patih Mangkubumi intends to ask the king to explain the meaning of his speech subtly.

“Ah, later you will also find out. hahahaha..” the king actually laughed at the confusion on the face of Patih Mangkubumi. “alah, let's go to the square. Poor people wait for us too long.” the king rose from his seat. Take the queen to the carriage. Prepare to the location of the execution of the contest.

Accompanying behind the king's carriage were the mangkubumi patih and the special soldiers of the king's guard. Also a special train for the princess of Cendrawani and the crown prince of Jatilaga.

The king's small convoy immediately headed for the square and was greeted by the people who had lined up neatly to fill the royal square.

++++++

“Your Majesty Prabu Jayadilaga and Her Majesty The Empress entered the stage of honor.!!” the sound of the announcement accompanied by a gong blow three times accompanied the steps of the king and his family to go up on stage.

What greeted them first was Manik Baya as the central figure in this competition.

The man did not bow his head or bow as was the custom of one's attitude toward the king. Makes many people wonder at his attitude.

Instead, the king looked very respectful to him.

Things that are rarely found and seen in the king of Jayadilaga, even this attitude is not seen when the king met with begawan and rsi and the highest priest of the kingdom.

The king greeted the people who filled the edge of the hot square and the audience for a while before sitting on the throne provided.

The king then asked for the competition to begin immediately, with a signal to Manik Baya.

Manik Baya nodded his head towards the king as a request for permission to start the competition. Then without waiting for permission to be granted, the old man had darted towards the hero statue in the middle of the square and stood hovering above it.

No one could clearly see what he was doing above the hero statue's head because the scorching sunlight was blinding and blinding everyone's eyes at that moment.

Of course no one realized, that the sensation of glare was created by Manik Baya himself. The sun had not been too high back then for its light was able to dazzle everyone's eyes.
