LIVING IN THE BODY OF A CRUEL MOTHER
49. Not the real king
Even at night, everyone in the hut was immersed in their own dreams.
But in contrast to Bayu, after he made sure his children and also the mother of his children had fallen asleep, he said, he also tried to slowly come out of the hut and call his shadow bodyguard named Mandala.
"Mandala" called the Bayu prince with a distinctive flat voice that he had.
syuutt
at that time Mandala immediately emerged from the shadow of Prince Bayu.
"greetings to his highness the prince." said Mandala saluting the prince Bayu.
"wake up Mandala." said the prince Bayu with full authority. Mandala who had received orders from the prince immediately woke up from his kneeling position.
"What about the investigation conducted by Zain's bodyguards in the palace..?? Is there anything suspicious..??"asked Prince Bayu to his shadow guard.
"please forgive Your Majesty, I heard when Zain's bodyguards said there were some irregularities going on in the palace.Her Majesty the king, I heard, at this time acting arbitrarily outside the needs and interests of the people or turning around with the policies that he had designed before. I also want to convey the important thing here, Your Majesty, that it turns out that the king who is currently on the throne is not king watura ratawijaya, but a stranger who wants to control the opposite goods kingdom and himself also who lists and presents this outcast village. in this outcast village he placed the residents who were considered not to support his policies, so they ended up being discarded and not looked at again." said Mandala told of some things discovered by Zain.
in recent years, there have been many abuses of power that tend to oppress the small people and castrate justice in this country. it turns out that there are people who have manipulated the leadership and also previous policies by overcoming the name of Raja watura ratawijaya his own father.
Bayu who of course just realized and knew this immediately clenched his hand. in the past he was too busy looking for and finding the existence of anarawati to account for all his actions so that he neglected to supervise the formation of leadership that is currently being run by his father and also his brother who will be the future successor to the kingdom be with this other side.
"what are you waiting for, then, we should go to see Zain now. Don't forget to call also Bhishma to join us. oh yes, oh yes, also put some of our people to watch over and protect this abandoned village, because I believe the king who is currently leading will definitely look for Profit after knowing this formerly barren wasteland village has produced food. we must look out for every action we take so as not to make small communities miserable and oppressed again." said Bayu again with full wisdom especially in the village of goods opposite this there are women and children that he must protect.
"well, your highness the prince says you will soon execute."
"please forgive Your Majesty, the crown prince has not known about this. but the crown prince has always opposed any regulations issued by the king so that now he ends up being sentenced to confinement by the king" explained Mandala again. prince Bayu who listened to the rule immediately nodded his head.
"yes, we should leave this place immediately first." said Bayu back.after that they both immediately left the place.
not to forget, Mandala also sent a message to his subordinates to remain in the outcast village and protect the village including and most importantly is to protect anara and her children until they return.

at this time, Prince Bayu has been in his residence.he came to the palace without the knowledge of anyone including his biological brother. Because, his residence is also still in the palace environment and also his residence is considered so safe from spying that might be sent by the current king, he said, this is what made Bayu decided to meet with his servants at his residence.there also had gathered under his subordinates who played an important role.
"i have heard the news regarding the current state of the palace. Zain Do you already know the existence of the noble king..??" asked Prince Bayu again in a flat and cold voice, he showed his trademark as an untouchable prince.
"sorry, Your Honor, we are still doing some searching. This job is a bit difficult for us to do, because the road to connecting directly with members or the royal family is very difficult. we also have to find the right way and time to find his majesty Raja watura ratawijaya." said Zein while determining his two hands.
Bayu sighed heavily hearing the words. He could only hope that his father would survive until he found his father.
"alright then, continue your search and gather evidence of what crimes the current king has.but have you found out Who is the king sitting on the throne right now..?? or everything that happened to me a few days ago has to do with the king..??" ask Bayu again to his servants.
"your Majesty, for this matter we have found the answer.The king who is presiding at this time is the dark lover of the king's first concubine, the great consort Diana. this man used to be a commander who had strong ambitions to overthrow the king when he sought support, but not many supported him to overthrow the King, even the people he had allied with were slaughtered by him so that his intentions or his plans were not discovered by others, because he did not manage to gather the troops on his side, he immediately sought another way, namely by establishing a relationship with the concubine secretly and then working together to overthrow the king. but the way it must be done by changing the face of the commander exactly like this noble face of the King of Barata. and for the assault you experienced a few days ago it has something to do with the current king. He sent out some assassins and also mixed some poison that works slowly so that the power you have can not be muster properly. the reason is because you are one of the people who will be an obstacle for him to occupy that position." explained Zain again.
Bayu who heard it again clenched his hands. because he was too focused on finding the existence of anarawati again himself kebablasan like this. However, he also could not blame anarawati just like that, because anarawati herself knows nothing.
"Then, do you know what the king who is sitting on the throne is planning right now..??" ask Bayu again.
