Soul Knight

Keraton Pakungwati

The splendor of the Pakungwati Palace is visible from the outside, the gate is white and in the green color circle adds an aura that contains the authority of all its people.

One of the places that enter the Keraton environment is Keputren Utama.

In the main keputren, a very beautiful woman was staring at the garden alone from the window of the room, the beauty of the garden keputren should make the mood more comfortable and peaceful for those who look at her.

Princess Harisbaya, a beautiful woman who was staring at the park did not feel the beauty, her heart was devastated, there were tears on her cheeks.

Princess Harisbaya has become the full-time consort of Panembahan Ratu, a ruler of the Cirebon region who now reigns as a just and wise King.

Glassy eyes turned his gaze to the moonlight blocked by the black clouds, making him reminisce about the events of several years ago when he was still in Pajang.

Prince Angkawajiya, Princess Harisbaya and Prince Mas Zainul Arifin, all three studied in the same place, namely the Kingdom of Pajang which is now gradually replaced by the power of Mataram.

All three are smart and intelligent noble groups and both have good looks, state knowledge and government has been controlled by Prince Mas and Prince Angkawijaya. so that both of them return to their respective origins and become rulers.

Prince Mas became a King in the kingdom of Cirebon with the title of Panembahan Ratu while Prince Angkawijaya became a King in Sumedang Larang who after being crowned titled Prabu Geusan Ulun.

While Princess Harisbaya remained in Keraton Pajang with Asa and hope someday Prince Angkawijaya will pick him up to make him a companion until they are invited to die, that is the Promise of Prince Angkawijaya when leaving.

Life is not a decisive human being, the destiny of the Creator said another, Prince Angkawijaya who was expected to never come back to pick him up.

The politics of unification of power runs, Prince Hadiwijaya as the ruler of Pajang wants to strengthen political relations with the Kingdom of Cirebon led by Panembahan Ratu.

Finally Putri Harisbaya as the daughter of Pajang bloody Madurese nobility became a milestone as proof of the cooperation of the two kingdoms, marked by the marriage between Panembahan Ratu and Princess Harisbaya, although after that it turns out Mataram who later more powerful than Pajang.

Seen Lightning snatched over the Pakungwati Palace, the voice of Thunder was earthy, "Duaaarh...Dhuarh!" make Putri Harisbaya surprised and realized from her daydream.

"So what are you doing here?" there was a voice that he was very sorry for from behind his back.

After turning her body back, Princess Harisbaya then rested and said "I'm sorry Kanda Prabu, I don't welcome your presence in this Puttren!" it turned out that Panembahan Ratu had been in Keputren to visit him.

"It's okay, brother! maybe you are enjoying the beautiful scenery outside too much, go back to your room! the rain will soon fall, the cold wind is not good for your health!"

"Both Kanda Prabu, Princess Harisbaya then walked slowly to her room accompanied by Panembahan Ratu.

Heavy rain has fallen, causing a noise that is bubbling on the roof, the sound of loud lightning alternates with Lightning that continues to strike above the Pakungwati Palace.

From a distance one could see standing upright, his body drenched in the rain so heavy, the rain did not block his sharp gaze that was watching around the main Keputren.

After a while he stood alone, from the south appeared a shadow that very quickly broke through the rush of rain approaching the figure.

"I have a strange feeling, when last night I meditated, seen a flood of blood coming from the Main Princess, whether you can interpret my premonition Kakang Bungko!"

Ki Geden Bungko, the Cirebon kingdom's warlord for the sea region just patted Ki Manggala Sakti on the shoulder, "quiet Adi! we'll investigate!"

To both walk away, Ki Gede Bungko walked in front with clothes that remained dry because the rush of rain did not make it wet like Ki Manggala Sakti.

Ki Manggala Sakti noticed Ki Gede Bungko's footsteps, the soles of his feet that run not imprint on the mud soil in his incandescent.

Finally they arrived at the residence of Ki Manggala Sakti which is not far from the Pakungwati Palace.

After Ki Manggala Sakti changed clothes, the two of them got into a conversation.

"Rear, for some reason lately my vigilance has increased uncharacteristically, as the leader of the special forces, I have been traveling around the border area of Cirebon, he said, but I did not find anything suspicious or anything very dangerous for the people of Cirebon, I beg your guidance Kakang!"

"Your instinct is the instinct of an Adi warrior! maybe in your sleep you only dream about war!...He's..He's..Hey!" Ki Gede Bungko is trying to melt the atmosphere, so that Ki Manggala Sakti is not too tense.

Ki Gede Bungko then lighted the kretek leaves Kawung and sucked it, "Wussh...Smoke from kretek tobacco leaves kawung which exhaled Ki Gede Bungko floating in the air.

"Adi, I think that your vigilance about something that has not been seen in the eye is very important, but if someone is too tense and focused excessively, then, it will only cause negligence towards something small and never thought of, whereas great danger usually occurs from something we previously ruled out!"

"You have to understand Adi! a person falls down usually not because they hit a hill wall, but they fall a lot because of slipping due to stepping on a small pebble!"

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Bungko!"

"Well Adi Manggala, I'll be back! happy resting!" then Ki Gede Bungko left behind Ki Manggala Sakti who was still sitting in the guest chair.

After the atmosphere became silent, and all that was heard was raindrops, Ki Manggala Sakti leaned his body into a chair with his eyes closed, without feeling then he fell asleep.

Suddenly from the front of a Kudjang hurtling, "Wuuush.The sharp end leads to the heart of Ki Manggala, "Sraaath...Lucky quickly both hands Ki Manggala immediately caught right, the tip of Kudjang was still there a distance of hair with the skin of his chest.

It turns out that the glide power of Kudjang after the second flank of Ki Manggala's hand is not reduced, the launch power is still large and continues to try to push, "Rrrggggh...Errgggh!" there is mutual thrust between the hands of Ki Manggala Sakti with Kudjang weapons.

"Rinhgggh...Jleebh!" it turns out that the thrust of Kudjang is greater, so the tip then managed to stick in the chest Ki Manggala Sakti until in "Aaaakh....!"

"Rear, wake up!...Awake up!" a woman woke Ki Manggala who was screaming in his sleep.

"After his eyes opened, Ki Manggala Sakti directly held the arm of his wife, "Aakh...Thankfully, I was dreaming of Nimas!"

"I've reminded you several times, Brother, don't sleep in a chair! come on, come on, get in our room!" then Ki Manggala Sakti's wife took her husband's arm into the house.
