Prince Without Crown

Crowds in front of the palace

The sound of lace makes the people startle the entire Galuh royal palace, which wakes up those who are still asleep.

Some soldiers seemed to be on guard and guard the situation to form a line so that people who crowded out from nowhere came did not break into the palace area.

In fact, none of them wanted to break into. Only, as soldiers, they must be disciplined in maintaining security and order.

The noise outside of this certainly attracted the attention of King Galuh, Prince Indra, and several other retainers who suddenly ventured from their respective homes to the palace of Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh residence.

With witnessed by Prince Indra Mahesa who immediately ran out, now there is a large crowd of people with most of them over fifty years old and women flocking to the front of the Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh residence.

"Repeat everyone. Please be calm. What is it about you all came in front of the Prabu residence. Are you not afraid Gusti Prabu is angry because you came to flock while Gusti Prabu was still sleeping?" Said one of the soldiers standing guard in front of the palace.

"Warrior. We are the people of the kingdom of Galuh. Gusti Prabu loves his people. It is impossible for Your Majesty to be angry with us who came with this good intention" they said.

"What kind of good intentions do you mean?" Ask the soldier again.

"Warrior. We will just say to Gusti Manggala Yuda Indra Mahesa. Please ask him to meet us, his people. We want to give what we can in order to prevent the invaders who will colonize our beloved country!" Answer them.

Shortly after they said they wanted to meet with the commander-in-chief in Galuh's kingdom, a young man who was still holding back sleep appeared to have stood on one of the steps of the stairs to the palace residence Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh.

They now looked very excited as the Prince flicked his fingers so that the guards would immediately step aside and stand behind him. This he did so that they could immediately say what their purpose was to come to this palace in droves.

"For instance, Manggala Yuda. The servant is the village head of Wonosari village. This is the servant's friend, the chief god Wetan. We are all people from dozens of villages around this king's city. The purpose of our arrival here is to take part in the effort to help the struggle that Gusti will lead soon" they replied.

"Listen, my people! Again I explain. That for the size of a soldier is aged from the limit of seventeen years to under fifty years. Haven't you sent your sons, daughters-in-law, husbands to join this struggle? I see here all are in their fifties and most are women. All of you are not obliged to join forces that will set out to defend the border. Return to the village and home! Help us with prayer!" Prince Indra Mahesa said without discouraging or wanting to lower their spirits. They are still considered to have a contribution to the country even if only by offering prayers to the almighty God.

"Gusti Manggala Yuda. We did know that we were no longer able to join forces that were about to set out to guard the border. But we have our own way of lightening the free kingdom,"

After saying so, they now hold a large mat in front of Prince Indra Mahesa who looks frowned at the behavior of these people.

At least he did not know what they meant by holding a large mat right in front of him.
