KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Robbing

The eyes of everyone on the stage of honor turned to the screaming Princess Cendrawani.

Using her ivory skewer, the beautiful princess attacked Gentayu.

“Even if you get the ring, don't expect to have me!!” he said half screaming. His attack on Gentayu was getting more and more fierce. The beautiful girl looks serious about killing Gentayu.

Seeing the commotion, the guards immediately surrounded him.

They thought Gentayu was an intruder. But they soon realized that the person whom the intruder thought was the same person who had turned into ten figures and managed to take the ring of competition on the head of the giant statue. He is a winner of the contest.

In the view of the people, Gentayu appeared at that place after his ten duplicates disappeared into smoke after successfully seizing the ring.

They did not see the exact details, as their attention was fixed on the stone statue and the ten duplicate Gentayu figures that ganged at him.

Even some only realized the existence of Gentayu on the stage of honor after hearing the cry of Cendrawani who attacked Gentayu and ended with this siege.

“Ho,ho, ho. is this how the winner of the contest got his welcome?” Gentayu smiled sneered as several spear and sword eyes stuck to his neck and body.

‘Plok! Plok! Plok!

There was a clap, as soon as he knew it was Jayadilaga, the guards immediately shuffled off Gentayu.

Princess Cendrawani's face was very upset. He felt Gentayu was cheating on him in this competition. Surprised her that she lost control of the statue and its power.

After all, this beautiful girl was not interested in being a companion of the prince and crown prince of various kingdoms who flocked to propose to her. Why must he now accept a duke who is not clear of his territory?

The issue of Gentayu has become a conversation among the palace dwellers. Officials and princes felt that the existence of the duchy of Mount Padang which was claimed as Gentayu region was not true.

Factually, Mount Padang is indeed under the duchy of Darmaraja. Just a mountain, not a duchy as claimed by Manik Baya.

The issue heated up, there were even some nobles who tried to pomp him to punish Manik Baya for being considered rebellious and establish their own fiefdoms. Fortunately, he was not provoked by his emotions and immediately put a damper on the problem.

“Ayahanda, forgive this anandamu. Forgive me for my slave. But, I still will not want to marry this abal-abal duke! Even if he won ten times I roamed!”

The words Cendrawani spoke surprised everyone.

Nobles in the palace and relatives of the king suspect the real reason behind this rejection is the status of Gentayu not qualified as a noble who deserves to be a participant of the competition from the beginning.

While in the heart of Cendrawani, she did not want to be the wife of the duke of Mount Padang because she had loved others. Unfortunately, the person did not even become one of the participants of this competition. Luckily, he found a strong reason for rejection. Gentayu is not a legitimate duke!

Gentayu who received this rejection just smiled. His mind was working to take advantage of this moment to gain an advantage once again.

From the beginning, he was not interested in this competition. He follows her only because he wants to prove to Manik Baya that he is not weak. And in fact, the coveted grand prize had been earned by him. Penetrating the level of the celestial swordsman.

“Alright, if the princess is not pleased. I will not impose my rights” Gentayu said out loud with emphasis on the word ‘hak I’.

“But I know, gusti prabu a wise man there and has big names all over the country. And here, there were many representatives from neighboring and distant lands besides the dukes and vassal kings. So, I will accept the rejection of this princess, who has offended the dignity of my teacher and also the people of Mount Padang. But on condition, I will accept it only if I get the appropriate compensation. Isn't that right, teacher?” Gentayu hurled his talisman loudly and convincingly. Then drag the big name of the prabu and Manik Baya who he thought would protect him.

Bead Baya mangosteen while still smiling widely. Started to admire Gentayu's intelligence.

While the king looks anxious to see the expression of Manik Baya. His wide smile seemed to be disparaging but also threatening according to Jayadilaga's point of view.

He immediately came forward to slap princess Cendrawani, but his move was prevented by Patih Mangkubumi and prince Jatilaga.

The face of wrath was clearly visible on the face of the king. Even Cendrawani who originally looked fiery was now lowered in fear because of it.

The king seemed to take a long breath. Then in a trembling voice said “Say, what form of indemnification do you want, duke nanda. I'll grant it if it's even a precious thing. Say, gold, diamonds, diamonds or what?.” finally, prabu Jayadilaga managed to control his emotions.

“Thank you Your Majesty. For the request for compensation in question, let the servant teacher decide for the servant, wrestling.” Gentayu said while giving thanks. Then inching backwards.

Once again Manik Baya was amazed by Gentayu's speed of thinking.

‘It seems, this young man is smarter than he looks. He purposely told me to choose a gift for him because of his lack of experience. Really smart..’ Inner Manik Baya while standing up.

The slight commotion on the stage of honor was clearly caught by the eyes of the audience. But everything that was discussed next on the stage was completely unknown. They will only know that the winner of the competition did not marry the princess.

“Yang Mulia. Your daughter is certainly more valuable than anything she has right now. Approximately, is it worth it if my students want Sampur (shawl) Jalasutra owned by him?” Prabu Jayadilaga steps back.

Sampur or scarf Jalasutra is one of the valuable heirlooms owned. Supposedly, no one knows he keeps the heirloom other than the empress. Feeling will not be able to withdraw his speech in front of this begawan, with a heavy heart prabu Jaya diaga removing his crown.

Behind the mahota, Jayadilaga's head was wrapped in a scarf that formed ‘udeng’ on his head. That sampur jalasutra is what Manik Baya means.

Jayadilaga took off the twists and turns of the Silk Road in his head with a heavy heart. Then handed over with reverence to the Begawan Manik Baya.

Manik Baya immediately grabbed it, then handed it to Gentayu.

“It. You take care of him like you took care of the Cendrawani you dreamed of for a long time.” Manik Baya deliberately makes it as if Gentayu has not received compensation commensurate with having to release his heart.

Gentayu received the sampur with a face as if he felt heavy hearted and unwilling. His face folded as if he was still aggrieved by the exchange. But in his heart, he was excited not to play.

Sampur Jala Sutra is a magic scarf. His abilities as a weapon and defense are almost unequaled. In the royal library of Lamahtang, the Sampur Jala Sutra is even mentioned as a god garment that makes the wearer god unmatched.

“Why, nanda duke. Is it still lacking?” asked the King then saw the face of the teacher and the impromptu student who was playing as if showing dissatisfaction.

“Baginda. We will go home feeling ashamed after this. Can he give one of his Wilmanas so that we can go home without meeting humans?” Pinta Manik Baya without hesitation.

Wilmana is a type of heirloom that can be used to fly and transport humans and weapons. This request of Manik Baya really made the head of the jayadilaga throb.

A Wilmana or walimana ride, it is worth more than a hundred elephants, and it rivals a hundred bird-carrying stealth in war!

And Giri Kencana currently only has five Wilmanas.
