In the morning Shun Land after bathing and dressed neatly ready to continue the journey to the royal capital Tarumanegara.

From the moment he woke up, Shun Land's heart felt uneasy not knowing the cause. This is known by Lasmini whose heart is blooming especially when remembering the incident last night his heart pounded quickly want to feel the night quickly coming.

Shun Land who was tidying up the luggage on horseback was noticed by Lasmini carefully, it seems clear how Shun Land works that used to be fast without much thought but neat now Shun Land a lot of wrong work even though it only raises luggage that is not much.

Lasmini approached while carrying a middle-aged man to pack his luggage and raise it on their horse.

"The back should rest so that uncle continues the work". Lasmini drew Shun Land's hand to sit on the bench on the side of the tavern.

Shun Land, according to him, after sitting down Lasmini, said "What does it look like the brother is thinking about something, does the brother feel sorry with me...?".

Before replying Shun Land took a deep breath and threw it away only after mastering himself Shun Land said.

"The back has no problems or feels sorry but since waking up the restless brother does not know what causes it know maybe I am too enjoying the pleasure with Neng Lasmini last night". Shun Land answered, ending with Lasmini.

Lasmini smiled shyly her reddened face was happy and she was now already not ashamed in public places of writhing in Shun Land's hands.

The two of them walked up to the horse that was ready to depart, the shopkeeper who packed the luggage immediately left after getting the wages from Lasmini.

Shun Land led his horse along with Lasmini out of the tavern area they both passed by some people who were sitting by the roadside letting things go.

"I felt disappointed in our king who disappeared after his teacher was killed like a fear, I used to admire and respect him a lot but after the fact he was a coward so disappointed". The biggest one spoke to his three friends.

"I was also so very disappointed with King Shun Land that a rich little boy hid from his enemies". The skinny-looking one chimed in.

"You two don't say that, either, even so he is still our most meritorious king since there is the kingdom of our daily lives so more peaceful and prosperous proof of this store so many rame visitors and we can get sustenance even as just a horse manager". The one sitting at the very end said to defend the king of Shun Land.

Shun Land heard all those conversations his heart was burning hot in contempt by his own people but he soon mastered his emotions. Shun Land passed by them while bowing respectfully.

"Maybe this is one of the important points of performing the Topongrame Ritual to train patience to get humiliation and ridicule that when I deny it does not get any benefits". Shun Land said inwardly.

Shun Land and Lasmini rode each horse slowly as many people drove home from the market. In Rawagempol, the market is only open 2 days a week.

Until when the market is open, on that day it is very rame until the morning before the arrival of Shun Land and Lasmini on that day coincides with the night market open.

Empress Dewi Sumayi rushed to walk after the soldiers who picked up the princess Serindang moon just came out of the gate of the palace of the empress Dewi Sumayi directly saw the daughter Serindang moon in the guard of the commander of Demagog and the commander of Durjana and their subordinates were both Karma, Udacca, Banaspati and Durga Pati. They were former subordinates of Asvaghosa who after Mara Deva lost they were joined and in place by Shun Land in the kingdom of Rijang Renah Selawi who was led by the princess of Serindang moon.

Empress Dewi Sumayi saw the princess Serindang moon she ran small to meet her after close the two embraced, the princess Serindang moon said while tightly hugging the empress Dewi Sumayi.

"Sir empress is it true that the king is dead...?". It was the only thing that came out of the mouth of the Moonlight princess while holding back her sobs.

In this case Serindang moon's daughter gets information that Shun Land has been killed by the same mercenary who killed her teacher.

"Pacify your brother Moon do not believe the news is not true believe our lover is a strong man no one can kill him, Mara Deva ruler of thousands of years can be defeated by him". Empress Dewi Sumayi gave confidence to the daughter of Serindang moon which actually her own heart was sad.

"Listen carefully to me, Goddess Sumayi, and our May Lien is equally lost but remember we should not be consumed and believe the circulating issue that the king we love has been killed by a hired assassin warrior, he said, I'm sure Brother Shun Land is setting up a strategy to defeat the great enemy of the kingdom, Mara Deva and her teacher".

Empress Sari Tungga the goddess paused for a moment to notice the face of princess Serindang last month and continued her speech.

"Daughter and I are the ones who trusted Brother Shun Land to lead the kingdom guarding the royal authority by keeping our feelings in front of our people and subordinates, we must not disappoint him, we must not disappoint him, princess do not show the slightest sorrow or show any worry that our King and lover have been killed in front of the people, it will endanger the security of the kingdom, remember the enemy is stalking our weakness what the princess of Serindang moon understands".

"My elder consort is very sad, the older sister of the wife's consort who is already legitimate while Moon is only still his future wife". Princess Serindang moon spoke while hugging tightly.

The two of them hugged to reveal the sadness of losing the one they loved so much.

"For what reason should I behave sister empress". Princess Serindang moon asked after mastering herself.

"Daughter's sister must be sure that Shun Land's brother is still alive is carrying out a strategy to defeat the enemy, the attitude of the two younger sisters must convince all our subordinates that our king is still alive and the third one should not let out our sorrow in front of our people and subordinates will have an impact on their mentality, princesses must be strong through this someday we will gather together and succeed". Empress Sari tungga goddess who was mature in government and politics gave direction to the princess Serindang moon.

After getting advice from the empress Sari tungga goddess princess Serindang moon cleansed her face until beaming again did not see sadness in the look of her face. White skin like empress May Lien adds shining beauty princess of Rijang Renah Selawi Kingdom is not inferior to the other three empresses.
