That morning in Mataram, the sound of gending matan sounds melodious. Sayup sayup the voice came to the palereman ward, where at this time Panembahan Senopati was standing looking out of the wooden window. His hands were crossed in front of his chest. His gaze as sharp as the eagle's eyes seemed far through the twigs of trees that were so beautiful outside the building.
Hm.., the young man was so amazing. I can feel it. That big tree he just held, I can measure his inner strength.
Panembahan Senopati slowly stepped out. The courtiers who happened to cross paths with him, immediately became respectful, until when he arrived at the front regol of the ward, Senopati stopped his steps when he saw Ki Juru Martani coming closer.
"Good morning, Ngger" the Interpreter nodded respectfully
"Good morning, Uncle Juru" Senopati nodded with a smile on her face. He no longer seemed troubled at this time.
"Let's uncle, we see the soldiers who are training, I've ordered Lurah Kebo Luwu to prepare to be ready."
"Please Ngger" Ki Juru agreed to Senopati's invitation.
They also walked towards the warrior dormitory. Behind the dormitory there is a large field for the soldiers to practice.
Some soldiers are performing their duties. Some passed by from the direction of the weapons storage warehouse, some were practicing the science of kanuragan. They immediately stopped their activities and respected them when they saw their Lord coming.
"Continue your training" Senopati raised her hand, letting all the soldiers return to training.
Lurah Kebo Luwu immediately ran over and respected upon hearing Senopati's voice.
"Good morning Kanjeng Senopati" Lurah Kebo Luwu said respectfully
"Rise Ki Lurah, I want to see them training this morning." Senopathy
"Sweep Wrestling, please walk around, please Ki Juru." Ki Lurah Kebon Luwu invited the two to check on the activities of the soldiers.
"Ngger, what bothered you until you brought me here?" Ki Juru stepped beside Senopati.
"Did Nakmas think of Mangir?" Ki Juru guessed Senopati's mind.
Yes, Ki Juru is not someone else for Panembahan Senopati. He's a confidant and a good war strategist. Ki Juru Martani is also very high in canuraganya science, no doubt. Moreover, his clairvoyance made the sharpness of his inner eye so honed. Therefore, every important thing that happens to Senopati is always known.
"Hmmm.., Uncle Juru, I have many reasons to be wary of Mangir. What about Uncle Juru?" Senopati started to speak seriously.
They continued walking, Senopati smiled at the teacher.
Even Father Sultan Pajang was the sun that once shone brightly, hhh... Senopati muttered in her heart.
"You don't have to worry about your Father in Pajang Ngger, at least for now." Ki Juru Martani said subtly.
"Surer's father would have known, if I didn't want Father to hate me, after all, he was also my parents." Senopati understands the direction of this conversation.
"True Ngger, so, think and reflect carefully, how Nakmas will behave to Mangir, which we have seen for ourselves the development" Ki Juru emphasized the core of the conversation
"Of course I'll think about it carefully uncle Juru" Senopati's distant gaze looked up at the clear sky of Mataram.

The arrow shot as fast as lightning, stuck on the prepared arrow.
"Hebaaat Gusti Putri.hebaaat.." exclaimed the ladies and clapped with gusto.
The beautiful princess smiled at her lady-in-waiting.
"Uncle, that's enough for today, next time we continue again" the princess handed her bow to the warrior who trained her.
"Sugih Gusti Putri, I beg you." The soldier resigned with a polite bow.
"Mbok, let's go back to kaputren, I want to have breakfast mbok" the princess swung her steps followed by her maids and maids.
Yes, she is Raden Ajeng Sekar Pembayun, the eldest daughter of Panembahan Senopati who is amazingly beautiful, intelligent and charming.
