KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

A Truth

“Teacher, please do not complicate us. Master knew that we only had 5 of those Wilmanas. And it means a lot to our military. One less, it will weaken our strength.” Parbu Jayadilaga could no longer afford to refrain from complaining about the gravity of Manik Baya's request.

For an empire, the strength of an air fleet is as important as a land and sea fleet. Handing over one of Giri Kencana's five Wilmanas would obviously weaken them significantly.

“We can replace it with another one, guru.” continued Jayadilaga, trying to negotiate not to make Manik Baya offended by his refusal.

On the other hand, Patih Mangkubumi and the senopati of war seemed so astonished by the submissive attitude of the king who is usually famous for being firm and authoritative.

In their minds, it would be best if the teacher and student couple were to be arrested alone. With the strength of the senopati and the king himself, it would certainly not be difficult to defeat a celestial swordsman and his weak-looking teacher.

Their point of view was different from that of the king. Even so, the Senopati and Ptih Mangkubumi refrained from being presumptuous before their king.

Manik Baya who originally looked a little change in face romance, now returned to smiling meaningfully.

“Well if you mind, I won't force you. You can grant one wishfulfillment to this disciple in the future. Remember, when he asks you whatever the risk is you have to obey him, or.”

“Or What??! Hey old man, you don't miss.!” Patih Mangkubumi lost the patience to hear the bald old man sounding his crisp in front of them impressed to keep pressing the king.

Jayadilaga himself turned red and immediately pushed the mangkubumi patih away, avoiding conflict with Manik Baya.

“Uncle patih!”

The voice of the king who slightly snapped it made the mangkubumi patih shocked not kepalang.

Who exactly is this bald man until the king prefers to snap at him? His right hand has been faithful since Jayadilaga's father was alive?

“Excuse our presumption, teacher.” Jayadilaga immediately turned to face Manik Baya. The old man had changed his standing position. His attitude made Jayadilaga a little anxious so hurriedly apologized.

“I and my descendants who rule in the future promise, will fulfill this one young man's request in the future. Please forgive us, teacher.” even now Jayadilaga slightly bowed before Manik Baya.

In fact, it was not only the nobles and officials of Giri Kencana who were astonished by Jayadilaga's attitude. Gentayu himself also began to question, how high the position of Manik Baya for Jayadilaga.

“Good. I kept your promise. I'll punish you myself if you deny it. Gentayu, let's leave this place..” Manik Baya immediately turned around, while the gentayu he invited went jumping towards the square.

The young man darted once more to the top of the crown of the statue which was now motionless. Although it still emitted a monstrous energy, it did not obstruct Gentayu anymore like before.

Gentayu's hand grabbed something at the top of the crown, then immediately floated down back down. The removal of the Mpu Jangkung keris that was still stuck on the ground, then immediately floated back towards the stage. Meet princess Cendrawani.

Everyone thought Gentayu was about to say goodbye, as he grabbed the princess' right arm.

Princess Cendrawani intends to shake her hand to refuse to hold Gentayu, but once her eyes accidentally look into Gentayu's eyes, she seems to lose control for a moment over her common sense. He let Gentayu grab his hand.

Gentayu put something on the princess' right hand. While looking into the eyes of the beautiful princess. In his heart, Gentayu admitted that the beauty of Cendrawani had never been found a match among all the women he met for life.

Gentayu cleared his throat, calming down before speaking.

“Mr princess. Ii'm sorry. Here, the real ring I gave you. The one you previously received, it was just a silver coin.” Gentayu clasped Cendrawani's hand and immediately turned to Manik Baya's side.

“Aaa.. what??. coin... silver coin? You.. you..” Cendrawani is out of words or precisely no longer able to swear at Gentayu.

It's all unreal. Gentayu returned to the top of the crown of the statue a second time, apparently intending to take the actual ring. Absolutely without resistance and resistance. Because Cendrawani has been fooled raw. He thought the ring was in his hand.

The king and his subordinates were just gawking. Between awe and anger at Gentayu's deceitfulness.

“Akkuuu.. akkkuuu... will kill you, Gentayu!!” pekik Putri Cendrawani from where he stood as Gentayu and Manik Baya began to step away from the place.

A thick white smoke like clouds drifted down enveloping Manik Baya and Gentayu. It was the same smoke cloud that carried Gentayu and Manik Baya before.

Once inside the cloud of smoke, something happened beyond everyone's expectations. Gentayu's face and appearance underwent a change. No longer seen as duke but rather returned to Gentayu's original face and body.

The eyes of everyone who witnessed the two did not blink. Their mouths are really gawking.

“mu malu lika.” mumbled patih Mangkubumi and his subordinates. They turned towards the king who looked not surprised.

The king had known this before, and there seemed to be something else he knew but did not tell.

The more surprised reaction was actually shown Cendrawani. The beautiful girl who usually seemed arrogant even covered her mouth with her palm because she could not believe what she saw.

“Aaaaa.. what? Him, him,. him...” Cendrawani instantly fainted as Gentayu and Manik Baya shot out at high speed towards the clouds in the sky.

The king, the empress and the ladies-in-waiting panicked to see Cendrawani suddenly faint as Gentayu showed his true face and identity. They thought that the young man had attacked the princess silently.

Witnessing the princess's pale face, the Empress as Cendrawani's biological mother and the king could no longer pretend to be tough.

“Call healer! Hurry along! Search!” The empress even half-cried ordered the chief captain to call the palace physician. No longer looks the empress who is usually graceful and authoritative. What he saw was an anxious mother.

The head of the Kaputren dormitory immediately ran to call the palace healer to check the condition of Cendrawani.

King Jayadilaga is moving fast. Immediately carried his own daughter and flew towards his residence in the kaputren complex.

Unpleasant issues soon spread with regard to the events of the day. And it did not take long, the news has become a byword and discussion of all residents of the city. From nobles to pelvic coolies have heard the news.

‘Because it was rejected after winning the contest, a foreign youth disguised as a self-styled duke harmed Cendrawani’'s daughter

This is how news and news spread quickly.
