The Book of Dragons

31.SNS

Still on the market road.

Kaesang and Senopati Gondo brought the little boy they met at the market. The boy was called a thief. After finishing taking care of the residents who were angry. He took the little boy to a food stall. In one of the stalls near the market.

At first the boy refused both. But when asked why you stole. He replied that he needed money. To buy food and medicine for his grandmother. His grandmother was sick, and there was no other family, except him. Kaesang and Senopati promised to help him. He wants to eat first.

From there he finally agreed, following the words of Kaesang.

Now they sit in the food stall. Enjoy their own food. After finishing, Senopati and Kaesang came out of the stall. Followed by the boy behind them.

The three were standing in front of the food stall. Standing next to their horses, who were still tied up. He gave a package of rice and side dishes that Kaesang bought earlier, to the boy. The boy thanked me.

Kaeasang and Senopati wanted to drive him home.  But the boy refused it.

"No need! I can go home by myself." Said seriously.

"Well, if so."

Kaesang and Senopati answered, saying. After all, they should arrive at the Kingdom soon.

The boy was quick and began to walk away. Kaesang suddenly shouted, asking what was his name?

From a distance, the boy screamed.

"My name is Daru Setyo. What's your name?"

The boy shouted with a very carefree face. He asked the two children who had helped him.

"I'm Kaesang and this is Se, "

His mouth stopped for a moment.

"She, Uncle Gondo Purwo."

Kaesang continued his words.

"All right! If we meet again, I'll repay your kindness, bye!"

The boy walked back, towards his house. He looked very happy, it could be known from the way he ran small while humming.

"HEY! IF YOU NEED HELP JUST COME TO THE KINGDOM AND FIND ME!"

"Yes, okay!"

The boy turned around for a while, then came back running around happily. He was completely unaware, what Kaesang had said. He just wants to remember and remember.

While Senopati only smiled a little, seeing the behavior of her Prince. He just realized, if the King's good nature decreased to him.

Senopati immediately untied his horse. Inviting Prince Kaesang, to continue their journey. "All right" said Kaesang, then mounted his horse. The trip to the Kingdom is only a short time away. Passing through half of this village, it would arrive in front of the Royal pandopo.

***

Some time later.

The footsteps of the horse had already entered the pandopo of the Kingdom. The soldier who saw Senopati, immediately lowered his head. After their horses passed, all the soldiers asked each other. "Who's the young man who's back with Senopati Gondo?"

The question was uttered by all the soldiers, who saw their arrival. They did not know at all, if it was Prince Kaesang, the King's illegitimate son.

After raising his horse, to Pekati. Senopati walked into the Main Palace, followed by Kaesang. Senopati steps are very long, look very rushed. When we got into the room. The king was not seen in his quarters.

Senopati brought Prince Kaesang back. They walked out again. While at the exit, Senopati asked the soldier.

"Senopathy!"

The soldier saluted and lowered his head, as Senopati stopped and stood in front of him.

"Yes. I have a question. What from the morning the King did not come to the Main Palace?"

"So morning? Came but only briefly, after the Tumenggung and the Duke reported, after which the King returned to the Kaputren Palace."

"Hmm, thank you!"

"Yes Senopati."

Back the soldier lowered his head, as Senopati was about to leave.

***

A few moments later.

Senopati and Kaesang have arrived at Kaputren Palace.

The soldier immediately ran inside, and shouted.

After that, the Soldier returned to his original place.

Just a moment, after the Soldier finished speaking. The King and Empress had already come out in a hurry. Meet Senopati and the Youth who came with him.

"I salute you, Your Majesty."

Senopati immediately lowered her head, after seeing the King and Empress come out and approach towards him. While Kaesang, still looked confused. He followed the movements of Senopati Gondo, lowering his head. With an occasional glance towards the two people called the King and Empress.

The king received the greeting. Then in silence, pointed at Kaesang and gave a signalling question to Senopati Gondo. Senopati who was aware of it, nodded and replied "Rightly he is Raden Kaesang who Sinuon is looking for." Pointing Kaesang with clenched hands, only his thumb finger was pointed at him.

Hmmmm.

The King and Empress smiled widely. A feeling of relief, from the smile of both.

"What is your name Kaesang nak lanang?"

 

Said the King asking again to be sure, which he was actually confused to say what? On their first talk this time.

"True King."

Kaesang replied nervously.

"Show me what the Master has given you."

"Things?"

Kaesang said softly, asking himself. He is still standing behind Senopati. He would not dare to ask the King.

"ah! Aye." Yeah."

Kaesang suddenly realized after a few seconds remembering the object being asked by the King. He stumbled at the bundle of cloth on his shoulder, and showed the thing he had held.

"Sorry, what is this?"

He gave her a necklace with a red pendulum from her bundle.

It was received by the King. After the King took a careful look, he gave the necklace to the Empress. Look back at the necklace carefully. Kaesang and Senopati were still silent at the activities of the King and his Empress.

The Empress looked at the King with full force. A smile grew on his face. He nodded to the King. Saying, "This is my necklace" tightly held the necklace. The king smiled hearing that.

Now the King and the Empress had been very sure, if Kaesang was the biological son of the two of them. The Empress approached Kaesang, reaching for her already cold hand. Cold for inciting explanations from the King and Empress.

"You are my son." As soon as the Empress said, her hand clasped Kaesang's hand, eager for her to hug the young man in front of her. But the Empress was so doubtful, it appeared from her face. He misses his great son. But Kaesang's face was still flat, yet it seemed that he really believed this.

"Am I really the son of the King and Queen?"

Kaesang began to speak at this moment, he looked at the Empress who continued to hold this hand.

"really. You are our son.

Let's talk inside, make it more comfortable."  Said the King, who was already approaching beside him. The king was worried because his wife was so carried away.

"All right." Kaesang replied, who saw the look on the face of the Empress who had begged.

"I beg you to resign, Sinuon."

Says Senopati Gondo, who is no longer conquered. Because the task is done. He wanted to return to his residence immediately, to meet his wife.

"Alright, thank you for carrying out my word and you succeeded. Now go back to your home, stay with your wife for a day."

"Thank you for Sinuon's kindness, I'm retiring."

"Yes, please."

Senopati Gondo saluted her, bowing her head. After that he walked backwards, his head still lowered. After the King walked into the Kaputren Palace. Senopati Gondo immediately turned around, and walked towards his horse. He went out of the Kingdom, towards his residence.
