The Hylva Dynasty Conflict

42. Coronations

At once Abi and Gavi stood with stunned eyes, looking at the figure of a beautiful girl wrapped in a work robe that was blown by the night wind until her white skin glowed exposed to the moonlight. The faint fragrance of the girl's body entered the nasal cavity, drugging the mercury and the minds of these bachelor men.

"Who are y'all? or do I call a soldier?!" Firmly when he saw Gavi and Abi still did not budge.

"E-eh wait for Nyimas, we are friends of the crown princess. I'm Abi, and in-"

"I'm Gavi hehe. Who and where is the night like this?"

"Ohh so you guys are the ones who saved that Raka Hardijaya?" The girl walked over while brazing a wide smile on her dazzling little lips. This small thing made Gavi and Abi fall even more in admiration alone.

"Yes Nyimas." Gavi Sahut.

"My name is Santhani, my house is right across from you, that one." Said Santhani while pointing to a building no less magnificent that is across their house and only separated a small river on which circular a sturdy bridge.

"If Nyimas lives here means Nyimas...."

"Yes, I'm marthani's concubine's daughter."

Abi and Gavi looked at each other doubtfully. "Sorry princess, we are presumptuous to talk to the princess in the middle of the night like this." Gavi.

"No problem, I'm just passing by. Please continue to rest, if you are officially staying here do not hesitate to ask me for help if you need something."

"Well princess, thank you." Abi and Gavi saluted while looking at the back of the girl who walked away until she escaped their sight. Very graceful, beautiful and ethical is a word that is suitable to describe the personality of the 2nd princess.

But despite this feeling, Abi was a little confused about where Santhani went from at midnight like this? The thick robe he was wearing also seemed to indicate that he had just left from outside the palace which was windy and very cold. For Abi knew the royal family had strict rules for free entry into the palace at night.

"Eh Vi, Lo feels something strange not really why"

"ABI GAVI I'VE FINISHED MY SHOWER!" yelled Milo from inside the house.

Gavi and Abi run in, of course, to fight for the bathroom. After all they were already very tired, tonight they finally felt the water that flushed the body and cleared it from the bad memories of the dungeon.

...----------------...

The next day, the drums were sprinkled echoing in every corner of the kingdom. The entire family and the royal council of ministers have gathered in the hall to witness the embedding of honors for the three friends who have contributed to repeatedly saving the lives of the Crown Princess and the late Raden Hardijaya.

Gavi, Milo and Abi sat in the middle of the hall while the king began to recite his official edict.

“Wise, full of empathy, willing to sacrifice for the successors of the Kingdom, virtuous and loyal service. At the discretion of two young men, Gavi and Abi and a young man, Milo. So with this in the name of my honor, I am King Candrayana II son of King Candrayana I, honorably awarding you 30,000 gold coins, military rank as Duke, honorably, and a house in the residence of Ruoyang Palace.

Hearing the decree, of course, Gavi Milo and Abi smiled, they hugged each other while Milo instead cried happily, eventually their sufferers gradually improved. Besides that, not only the three friends are happy, but Rarapati and Queen Durwiasih also look at each other while carving a smile of victory.

Today's party is held festive as well as celebrating the celebration of the Crown Princess's coronation which was delayed because it was still in a very sad time. The celebration is not only mandatory to be celebrated in the palace, but all corners of the Hylva kingdom are obliged to share happiness

The drum is back to the ground, the flute is blown, various musical instruments are played adding to the crowd of the celebratory atmosphere. Dancers, acrobats and other entertainers marched around the capital with Nyimas Rarapati riding an elephant in the front row, all the citizens who lined up along the road continued to throw the princess with a variety of fragrant flowers.

The princess's goal this time was to go to the announcement hall right in the middle of the capital while carrying the king's word. Let alone what will be conveyed by the king this time, but three friends who participate are required to dress traditional tribal Hylva

Upon their arrival at the vast announcement hall like a ball stadium, Rarapati walked with her servants to the tallest tower in the hall. Gavi Milo and Abi are behind him. The tower of solid teak wood stands about 10 meters high to make the person standing on it can be seen from various sides and the sound can be heard clearly.

Rarapati stood upright, facing thousands of people in the capital who were looking down there. Before long a servant gave a roll of gold cloth to her.

Rarapati unrolled the golden cloth and shouted loudly. "Decree King!"

Hearing that, the entire community who was rejoicing in the middle of the celebration immediately fell silent and sat down and saluted the decree that Rarapati would read, as well as the three friends who had kneeled to pay their respects.

“I, Candrayana II son of King Candrayana I, bestowed the honorary title upon 3 travelers who had repeatedly saved the crown princess from the threat of life. Gavi, Milo and Abi will be given the title of Knights of the Sky Sphere. And forever will be the title of Duke. Everyone is obliged to respect them like they respect the royal minister.” Rarapati.

The title Knight of the circumference of the sky was the highest honorary title over a personal merit in the Hylva kingdom, the person who receives the title will usually be treated like a royal council minister and will get the right to stay in the palace. According to the history of the kingdom itself, this title was given for the second time, the first to receive this title was a woman who donated her kidney to treat the disease king candrayana 1. Of course, many people were excited and surprised by the King's grace.

“Life 3 Dukes of Sky Circumference!”

“Lifep!” cheers of the citizens.

Gavi, Abi and Milo who realized they got high positions and titles can only look at each other with sparkling eyes and then embrace each other. Unexpected? Of course, after feeling the lowest point of life finally today they felt the highest point of life as well.

“Gavi, Milo Abi. Come here, accept this decree” said Rarapati.

Hearing that the three friends went to approach the princess with a wide smile that continued to show a row of bright white teeth. This matchless happiness they got after going through various very bad tragedies, of course they felt very proud.

“We received the king's decree. May the king live a long life.” Abi said while receiving the cloth.

“Life 3 Dukes of Sky Circumference!”

“Life!” the cheers of the citizens were unrelenting.
