Prince Without Crown

King Garingging

"I'm back!"

The sound of Princess Melur shouting made a middle-aged man who was contemplating under a large tree with dozens of soldiers behind him appear to be on guard with spear weapons in their hands.

"My daughter. You're back. Why does your face look so upset like that?" Asked the middle-aged man who was none other than Gusti Prabu Garingging was there.

"It's all because of this guy!" Snapped the Princess while pointing towards Prince Indra Mahesa who was lowering a deer from his shoulder.

"Hmmm. Why could that be? Who are you and where are you young?" Gusti Prabu Garingging asked with a very soothing calm.

"Although Gusti Prabu. Actually this deer is a slave deer hunt. And it was the servant who killed this deer. However, Gusti Putri admitted that this deer is the result of his hunting. The servant can do nothing but give in" replied Prince Indra Mahesa to the question from the Garingging King.

"lik! Obviously this is my deer. You're the one who confessed to me that this is your deer" the princess snapped.

"Wait first. I'll prosecute you carefully,"

"Young people. You said that this deer was your hunting product. My daughter also said so. I did suspect that the real owner of the deer is you young man!" Said the King making Princess Melur open her eyes.

"Dad. How could this deer be his. What proof?" Asked the Princess spoiledly half whining.

"Young man., and you're my daughter. Try to get each of you arrows out!" The King's orders.

The two of them immediately pulled out their respective arrows from the pouch that was slung on their shoulders once they got an order from the King.

After handing the arrow to the King, Prabu Garingging also compared the arrows of the princess Melur with the arrows stuck in the ribs of the deer.

"Do you see this my daughter?" Ask the king.

Melur Princess immediately stuttered as soon as she saw the color of the feather on the arrow was not at all similar to the color of the feather on the arrow.

Meanwhile, the feather at the base of the arrow was exactly the same as that given by Prince Indra earlier.

"How do you think Melur?" Ask The Prabu.

That kind of behavior looks so funny. Between spoiled and also resisting embarrassment.

"Gusti Prabu's. No matter who owns this deer. For the servant, it is the same. Servants do not dispute. Even this deer has arrived before my master. So, the duty of the servant to fulfill the request of Gusti Putri Melur is finished, allow the servant to beg himself first," said Prince Indra while bowing respectfully.

"Young people. You haven't told me your name, where are you from and where are you headed?!" Gusti Prabu Garingging once again said.

He felt extremely curious towards this extremely polite young man. If it were a warrior, then his modesty would not be so perfect before the king. This young man must be people from the nobility.

"Although Gusti Prabu. The name of the servant is Indra Mahesa. The servant of the cleft mountain foot and the destination of the servant is the city of the king of Galuh kingdom," replied prince Indra Mahesa once again while courting.

"Hmmm. Can you tell me what your destination is to the city of the king of Galuh kingdom?" Ask the king.

"The servant teacher has ordered the servant to immediately leave for the city of the king of Galuh kingdom to contribute energy to the struggle Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh in the face of the attack coming from the soldiers of Paku Bumi," answer Indra Mahesa.

"Hmmm... Then, we're both in line. Why don't we just continue our journey together?" The Prabu half offered.

"Thank you Gusti Prabu. But really sorry. This was because, the entourage of servant friends was waiting in the southern part of this forest. Precisely on the outskirts of Kali watu Sewu," replied Prince Indra.

"alright. May we meet in the kingdom of Galuh. I'm the same as you. That is, want to provide assistance to Rakai Galuh. Because, if the kingdom of Galuh is to collapse, then their next target is the kingdom of Garingging!" The King said with a heavy sigh.

"All right, Gusti Prabu. If the windfall of the servant is good, then the servant will be reunited with Gusti Prabu,"

"Hamba beg yourself Gusti!" Said Prince Indra Mahesa once again saluting, then stepped calmly leaving the King and Princess Melur staring at the departure of Prince Indra Mahesa.

It seemed easy that the Prince stepped up. However, in a matter of two blinks of eyes, he was already almost on the edge of the forest that was as deep as tea if by ordinary steps.

"Hmmm. The young man had contents. I could see from the way he spoke, the look in his eyes, the calmness in his face. You're Melur! Again be careful with your attitude. If he were a bad man, you would all have died at the young man's hands" the king warned.

Princess Melur just bowed to hear this reprimand from her father. At least he did not answer.

...Seriate...
