Princess Rajapatni - Gayatri - 8
Historical Note: In simple terms, the royal history of the Lion-sari predecessors is as follows:
The Ancient Mataram Kingdom was divided into two apes: Jenggala and Kadiri.
The two kingdoms then clashed.
Ken Arok overthrew Kadiri after capturing Tumapel from the Stump of Ametung. Ken Arok who later founded the Rajasa breed and founded the Lion-sari Kingdom.

The possibility of Uncle Jayakatwang's rebellion is terrible. I've been unsettled all afternoon. For a long time, I went back and forth in bed until I finally fell asleep.
The anxiety seemed reluctant to leave me. I felt that my dream at that time was too moody. It was a repetition of the past in a different version. Me and my mother are in the great hall. Watching a number of mask artists perform Panji Asmarabangun.
Where are you, Princess Candra Kirana?
Kanda searched from the top of the mountain to the edge of the ocean.
Where are you, my heart?
Every night, Kanda calls to be carried away by the dream lam.13
Gending giro14 sounds boisterous. It was so noisy my head was dizzy. I was standing in the middle of the stage. Fear and pain. The movements of the dancers of the mask turned into hands with keris weapons. They attacked me one by one. Ruthlessly, they thrust a dagger while shouting their revenge.
When I woke up, I washed my face and was afraid to go back to bed. Gendis had fallen asleep earlier on the mat. I shake sadly. Suddenly realized that the life of a ladyboy was much more peaceful than my life.
Raden Wijaya's orders crossed his head. He told me not to endanger myself. He also warned not to interfere or get involved far.
It's nonsense.
Who could stand a suspicious situation like this? Silence is not my style. And of course, the nightmare had discouraged me from continuing to sleep.
I decided to take a walk out of the princess' palace. After all, in the palace environment there were many formidable warriors. So this is not a violation of orders, I thought.
The night air is cold. I took a thick selen-bang from the closet. Then move out of the room. The air is cold in the rainy season. I tightened the shawl to cover the chest. Pay attention
13 Gending Panji Asmarabangun here is a design.

the atmosphere around. The sound of crickets and frogs squealing my buts is cheerful. The crescent moon hangs in the sky. Pale and mute.
I want to express all my concerns. But what can I do now? Knowing Viren's original department, obviously makes all the changes. What I bica-a friend with Viren is at high risk if it spreads out. No one knew if in the palace there was an intruder stripping the other party's password.
I arrived at the row of trees at the back of the main palace. As I was about to walk again, I heard the voices of people talking. There were no soldiers around. So I thought they were talking about a secret.
“There is one thing I want to ask you, Senapati.”
I heard Raden Wijaya's voice. Immediately, I inched behind the large trunked tree. What is Raden Wijaya doing these nights? What is he calling ‘senapati’ Viren?
I heard a coughing sound for a moment. It turns out that the one who was invited to talk by Raden Wijaya was Arya Virendra.
“Please ask, Prince.”
“Do not be too formal.” Raden Wijaya said. “I just want to know if you save feelings for Princess Gayatri?”
Momentary silence.
I felt like my heart was almost broken hearing those questions. If you want to be honest, I would love to hear the word ‘ya’. Had Viren proposed to me in the grand hall, the situation would have been much different. I know, the word ‘ya’ will have a bad impact on Viren. But really, I want to be selfish.
Kakang, say, ‘ya’! Please do! “I dare not, Prince.”
A drop of my tears fell. Indirectly, the Viren's bandages had spread the distance. He doesn't want to fight me. He won't take me from Raden Wijaya.
My face's warming. My grip on Vi-ren's necklace is tightening. Until I feel it, the necklace will break.
“Good if you are aware.” Raden Wijaya's voice broke my daydream.
“I want you to swear.” Her voice te-gas indisputable, “Oath that you will miss Princess Gayatri. Swear that you will not hold any feelings for him, other than respect for your lord.”
I really want to see the faces of those two people. But the night was too dark. The silence happened again. My heart is pounding harder. Part of me prayed that Viren would not say his vow.
“I swear I will protect Princess Gayatri over my own life. I swear I will not save any other feelings, other than respect to my lord.”
My tears are flowing more and more. I want to get out. I want to scold two men without that feeling. The god of batara! Doesn't anyone understand my feelings?
“After all, I have to put my trust in someone.” Raden Wijaya said again. “I can't every time protect Princess Gayatri.”
Raden Wijaya did not even apologize. How outrageous!
“I will always be loyal to Princess Gayatri.”
“I believe it, Senapati.” Raden Wijaya said, “Nah, now I want you to report the results of your supervisor.”
Silence back.
“I'm sorry, Gusti. All robbers are tough warriors. It's hard to catch them. Gusti Prabu also seems to be less responsive. Gusti Prabu gave authority to the bekel.15 I was rather surprised. How can Gusti Prince know Ken Sakka's superiority in this matter?”
“Didn't you say it's hard to hide something from me?”
The two men laughed. Suddenly, I remembered his light-hearted laughter while with me. Why am I even thinking about that?
15 Bekel = small team head.
“Ranggalawe is familiar with many warriors in the martial world.” Raden Wijaya explained. “I also asked Ranggalawe spirit to investigate this matter.”
“Then, there should be no more problems da-lam this investigation, Gusti.”
“Wrong. There is never anything simple in strategy. Can you find any evidence of Jayakatwang's connection in this bramacorah incident?”
“Come, Gusti. I have not been able to investigate further. The secret of Prabu Jayakatwang's army was closed. Takes a long time to reveal his.”
“Then, I want you to run one of my commands.”
“What is it, Gusti?”
“Catch the robbers! Hang them in the square! This will be a bluff for Uncle Jayakatwang. People will also be more confident. Be able to perform this task, Senapati?”
“Support, Gusti.”
“Do your job secretly with your troops. I'll assign Ranggalawe and his troops to help.”
“Sendhika.”
“Good,” said Raden Wijaya, sounding satisfied. “I want this task completed before I leave for Suwar-nabhumi.”
“Secap it?”
“Yes. I want to see how long Uncle Jaya-kwang will be able to maintain his mask.” Raden Wijaya's voice sounded like a growl, “And to the bramacorahs, I want them to receive the proper germs. What's more about that one begundal creature: Ken Sakka.”
