...Chapter 2: The Hidden Secrets...
The next day, Arjuna decided to reveal the truth to King Parakrama. With a pounding heart, he prepares himself for a meeting that will change the destiny of the kingdom. Arjuna knew that this move would not only bring great risk to himself, but also to his mother, Dewi Saraswati.
In the bustling palace crowd, Arjuna stepped forward into the throne room. He saw King Parakrama surrounded by his powerful advisers. They looked suspicious and sharp in their sight. Arjuna sighed and knelt before King Parakrama.
Arjuna: "Maharaja, there is something very important that I need to tell you."
King Parakrama looked at Arjuna with an attentive gaze.
King Parakrama: "Speak, Prince of Arjuna. What do you have to say?"
Arjuna: "Father, I have learned of a conspiracy that undermines our family and the stability of the kingdom. In the conversation I heard, the retainers Surya and Mahendra had planned to harm me and my mother. They regard us as a threat to the bloodline and seek to obstruct the continuity of your power."
There were surprised whispers among the advisers present. King Parakrama frowned, trying to digest the information that Arjuna had just conveyed.
King Parakrama: "Do you have any solid evidence for this accusation, Arjuna? This is a serious and potentially government-shaking statement."
Arjuna nodded firmly.
Arjuna: "Yes, Dad. I have sufficient evidence to show the truth of my words. I'm willing to pass all this evidence on to you."
The gaze of King Parakrama passed from Arjuna to his advisers sitting around him. There was unease in the air as they realized that Arjuna had the power to reveal this great scandal.
King Parakrama: "Well, Arjuna. I will trust your words in this. However, we must investigate carefully and provide justice to all parties. Give the evidence to my most trusted advisor. They'll help in this investigation process."
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the criminals involved in the conspiracy are getting more and more anxious. They realize that there is a dangerous shift in power, and they must act quickly to protect their own interests.
On a dark night, Surya and Mahendra meet in a hidden room inside the palace. They think of a new plan to deal with the threat at hand.
Surya: "We can't let Arjuna and his evidence ruin everything. We need to get rid of them before the investigation ends."
Mahendra: "But how? What can we do without arousing suspicion?"
Surya smiled cunningly.
Surya: "We have to find someone we can use as a scapegoat. Someone we can accuse of being the mastermind behind this conspiracy. That way, all views will be on that person and the evidence against us will be ignored."
The two devised their plans carefully, looking for gaps between their opponents and looking for means to achieve their evil goals.
On the other hand, a team of investigators led by the advisor King Parakrama worked hard to gather all the evidence they could. They conduct interviews, examine royal records, and conduct stealth reconnaissance. All this is done to find the truth and uncover the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
At the same time, Arjuna continued his training in martial arts. He wanted to make sure that he was prepared to face any danger that might come to him and protect himself and his family.
