The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

The Duke of Warok Singo Pethak

Starting from that moment, a massive change occurred in the order of Wengker society. If in the past only close relatives of the Palace could occupy important positions in the government, now such actions no longer exist. All people who have high martial skills and intelligence in thinking get a place in the governance of Mandala Wengker.

After news broke that Wengker City had fallen, Candramaya Resi went to Mandala Wengker Palace to meet her grandchildren and grandchildren, namely Nay Kemuning and Arya Pethak. The arrival of the grandfather received a warm welcome from both of them. At that time in the pendopo agung Mandala Wengker is being held a meeting about the steps that must be done in the future. All followers and friends of Arya Pethak were present at the place, such as Ki Simo Biru, Subrata, Klungsur, Lurah Mpu Wikarto, Akuwu Lembu Sukmo and his son Lembu Kangko, among others, Anjani and Dewi Ragil Kuning aka Sekarwangi.

"Our salute, Eyang Resi Candramaya", said Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning at the same time as Resi Candramaya the Duke of Sepuh Mandala Wengker set foot on the grand pendopo Mandala Wengker. The two immediately kneeled before the sage with a thick white beard.

"Wake up my grandchildren...

You are really great in upholding the truth that should indeed be an important milestone in the life of the people of Wengker" said Resi Candramaya with a big smile.

"Please Eyang Resi Candramaya forgive me for being forced to finish the lives of Raden Singomenggolo and Duke of Warok Singo Ludro. Cucunda had tried well to ask that they return the throne Mandala Wengker to the rightful but they insisted on maintaining it. Forced to take the violent path to overcome it", said Arya Pethak while continuing to kneel before the Candramaya Temple.

This recluse, the former ruler of Mandala Wengker, let out a long sigh before starting to speak.

"In the dispute between truth and falsehood, there will always be a victim of my grandson...

It could be that relatives, close relatives and even our own friends could become enemies if we choose to uphold the law of truth above all else. I don't blame you for the deaths of Singo Ludro and Singomenggolo. It was a path of fate that they had chosen for themselves. The most important thing now is that you and Kemuning lead this region as best you can. Do not let there be a few of your citizens who suffer because of injustice and who look good (not enough to eat and dress)", wise advice said from the lips of Candramaya Resi.

"I will do all the commands of Eyang Resi with all my might", after saying so Arya Pethak immediately got up from his kneeling place.

"Please forgive me if I sassy Gusti Prince Arya Pethak..

Since Gusti Adipati Sepuh has reached this place, it would be nice if the coronation of Gusti Prince Arya Pethak was led directly by Gusti Adipati Sepuh. This will certainly further make the people of Mandala Wengker believe that Gusti Prince is suitable to hold the reins of Mandala Wengker power next because it was crowned by the previous ruler ", ki Simo Biru said while saluting Arya Pethak and Resi Candramaya for daring to interrupt the two people's words.

"I agree with Ki Simo Blue's opinion, Kangmas..

With the coronation of Kangmas Arya Pethak as the successor to the new Duke of Wengker, then the lost doubt in the hearts of the people of Mandala Wengker about the validity of the ownership of the Mandala throne in the hands of Kangmas Arya Pethak", nay Kemuning said immediately.

Everyone immediately understood and agreed with the opinion of Ki Simo Biru and Nay Kemuning.

Hearing the words of all of them added again with the approval of the audience present at the event, Resi Candramaya nodded in agreement with the proposal from Ki Simo Biru and Nay Kemuning. So the preparations for the coronation of Arya Pethak as King Mandala or Duke of Wengker were just starting to be prepared that day.

The entire Mandala Wengker palace is inlaid with a series of yellow stitches and flowers. Penjor Penjor was established and arranged in such a way around the palace walls.

Ki Simo Blue is assisted by Subrata overseeing the preparation of the dish for tomorrow's event. They ordered the palace cooks to slaughter livestock such as buffalo and goats which became the main menu for the big event tomorrow.

Akuwu Lembu Sukmo and his son Lembu Kangko are in charge of decorating the entire corner of Mandala Wengker Palace. Aided by the soldiers and residents of Mandala Wengker City, they work hand in hand in hand in royong pieces to decorate the palace to make it look attractive and lively.

While the security side of the event was handed over to Lurah Desa Girimulyo, Mpu Wikarto and the villagers who still live in the palace of Wengker City. Wengker soldiers who have given up, in participating in the security of the event until those who originally had no hope of becoming soldiers again are now enthusiastic in carrying out their duties. They were so grateful that Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning were willing to accept them in the ranks of the Wengker forces under his leadership.

Klungsur the loyal courtier Arya Pethak, always followed wherever the prospective Duke of Wengker was. The loyalty of Klungsur really deserves thumbs up.

Two days later, the coronation of the new Duke of Mandala Wengker was held. All the people of Wengker City rejoice to welcome this big event. The disappearance of the influence of Duke Singo Ludro and Raden Ronggo who suffered a lot of people, it is true that they are grateful.

The fragrant smell of incense and incense spread throughout the place along with the white smoke coming out from the charcoal coals they were burning. Sprinkles of roses and jasmine decorate the floor of Pendopo Agung Mandala Wengker also on the throne. All loyal followers Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning attended the grand pendopo wearing fine clothes.

On the right side of the Wengker throne, Resi Candramaya immediately stood from her seat when she saw the arrival of Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning. Arya Pethak wore white clothes with gold thread embroidered on the edges of her clothes while Nay Kemuning dressed pretty like a noble woman with clothes similar to her husband. The two walked closer to the throne Wengker above which there is a crown of greatness Mandala Wengker. Along the way they entered the grand pendopo, the palace maids continued to sprinkle roses and jasmine towards them. The sound of gamelan tetabuhan gently accompanies each step they will be crowned as the next ruler of Mandala Wengker.

Once in front of the throne, Maharesi Mpu Kumba and Danghyang Bikshu Daniswara immediately performed their rituals. Maharesi Mpu Kumba splashed holy water onto the bodies of Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning, while Danghyang Bikshu Daniswara conducted a gust of white smoke of fragrant incense surrounding them while continuing to recite prayers and mantras.

After they finished their ritual, the two sat back in their respective places. Once the two leaders of the religion were finished, Resi Candramaya raised her right hand and the sound of the gamelan horn immediately stopped until the atmosphere became quiet.

"Today, I Candramaya will perform the coronation of my grandchildren as the new Duke and Queen of Wengker. Next they will lead Mandala Wengker in the circle of government Singhasari Kingdom.

Arya Pethak, go for my granddaughter.. You are Kemuning, accompanied by your husband", said Resi Candramaya as she looked towards Arya Pethak and Nay Kemuning. The two immediately crouched down and worshipped on the Wengker throne.

Candramaya immediately took the crown of the greatness of Mandala Wengker and raised it up high so that it can be witnessed by the audience in the grand pendopo.

"With this, I appointed Arya Pethak to be Duke of Wengker with the title of Duke of Warok Singo Pethak. He will rule with the help of my granddaughter Nay Kemuning whom I named Kanjeng Ratu Kemuning", the loud voice of Resi Candramaya was heard while wearing the crown of greatness Mandala Wengker to Arya Pethak.

From the direction of the audience, a loud scream was heard.

"Life Gusti Adipati Singo Pethak !

Live Gusti Duke of Singo Pethak !"

The shout was immediately connected until the atmosphere became low boisterous by the voice of the audience who shouted the big name of Arya Pethak who is now. After finishing wearing the crown as a sign of coronation, Arya Pethak immediately stood up from her squatting spot and turned her body towards her followers along with Nay Kemuning. The Candramaya Rishi immediately sat on the chair which was to the lower right of the Wengker throne.

"Today, I am the Duke of Warok Singo Pethak..!!

Promise all of you that no one else will experience injustice. Everything will be treated the same.

I thank you for your trust and support so that I can sit as the ruler of Mandala Wengker.

Therefore I will raise all those who have contributed greatly in our efforts to restore the governance of Mandala Wengker.", said Arya Pethak with a smile knot. She immediately sat on the throne of Wengker and Nay Kemuning sat on her left side seat, parallel to Sekarwangi and Anjani who smiled widely watching their husband now become a Duke.

Arya Pethak then appointed Mpu Wikarto, Lurah Desa Girimulyo as Mantri Dharmadyaksa who became the main advisor along with Klungsur. Ki Simo Biru was appointed Patih Wengker While Akuwu Lembu Sukmo was appointed as the Deputy Attorney General of the State. His son Lembu Kangko was appointed to Senopati while Subrata now serves as Tumenggung.

They all feel satisfied with the decision taken by Arya Pethak that puts them in a position that fits their abilities. Everyone was delighted by this appointment. Candramaya Resi was also happy to see the prowess of Arya Pethak in arranging the governance of Mandala Wengker.

After everything was done, Arya Pethak stood up from her throne again as she said in a fiery tone of voice,

"Our first task as the ruler of Mandala Wengker, so as not to become a thorn in the flesh,

Clean up all Raden Ronggo's followers"
