20. Thorn in the flesh

A few days later right at night in the kingdom suryaloka there was an intrusion in the room Princess Kumalawijaya, the younger brother of Prince Punawijaya. The guard soldiers saw that there was a veiled person who had come out of the window of Princess Kumalawijaya's room, finally the soldiers chased after him until they came out of the gate of the royal palace of Suryaloka, and there was a fight between a veiled person and the suryaloka soldiers who were chasing him.

"What is the soldier, why is there such a commotion in this palace?", asked Prince Gunturwijaya to one of the guard soldiers.

Then the guard soldier reported to Prince Gunturwijaya?

"Honor the servant of the Prince, I would like to report that there was an intruder in this palace who came out of the room of the Princess Kumalawijaya, and now the intruder is fighting with the guard soldiers outside the gate of the suryaloka palace".

"Alright, let's go there right now" replied Prince Gunturwijaya in an annoyed tone.

Then Prince Gunturwijaya immediately went to the place where a veiled person was fighting against the soldiers of the Suryaloka palace guard. Then the arrival of Prince Gunturwijaya at the scene, it turns out that someone veiled had escaped the siege of the soldiers of the palace guard suryaloka, but the guard soldiers who were fighting him had managed to take something from someone with a veil, a gold necklace with jewels on its neck. Then the necklace was immediately given to Prince Gunturwijaya as evidence.

Then Prince Gunturwijaya said very seriously about the necklace?

"When viewed from the type of necklace, it looks like this necklace belongs to a noble family, but I don't know who owns this necklace?".

Then Prince Gunturwijaya immediately told the soldiers to find out about the necklace?

"Soldier!, quickly find out who the owner of this necklace is!", Order Prince Gunturwijaya.

"Prince's Sovereign!", replied the soldiers.

Then Prince Gunturwijaya immediately went to Princess Kumalawijaya's room, his sister, when Prince Gunturwijaya arrived in his sister's room, he immediately asked his sister with concern?

"Dinda Kumalawijaya, what about you, are you okay, because the soldiers have seen someone suspicious who has infiltrated your room Dinda" said Prince Gunturwijaya.

"I didn't see anything Kanda, because from now on I've been sound asleep and one I woke up to has been a hoax like this, I was confused, what's really going on here?", Said Princess Kumalawijaya who saw his face look confused, he was the younger brother of Prince Gunawijaya and Prince Gunturwijaya.

"Alright then, thankfully you're okay, then you rest back, let me later tell the soldiers to tighten the guard around your room", Prince Gunturwijaya said to his sister, Princess Kumalawijaya.

Then Prince Gunturwijaya immediately rushed away from his sister's room. When Prince Gunturwijaya was about to get out of the room, suddenly from behind the door was seen Queen Mother Kencanawangi coming along with her ladies and guards. Then Queen Mother Kencawangi asked her son, Prince Gunturwijaya about what had happened in the room of his sister, Princess Kumalawijaya. And finally Prince Gunturwijaya told all about the incident to his mother, Queen Kencawangi. After Queen Kencanawangi heard the story of her son, Prince Gunturwijaya, then She Queen Mother Kencanawangi immediately entered into the room of her daughter, Princess Kumalawijaya and asked how about the state of her daughter.

Then the day turns when the sun shines brightly and the sound of birds chirping sounds beautiful, in an area called Karang Menjangan seen the soldiers of suryaloka go to the castle of the coral duchy menjangan and the ruler of the duchy is the Duke of Burhansangkala. There the suryaloka soldiers are in charge of attracting tribute to the kingdom of suryaloka because the coral duchy menjangan is one of the subordinate areas of suryaloka kingdom power. Coral areas were very prosperous, more prosperous than the subordinate areas of the suryaloka kingdom, because agriculture, crafts and shipping in the area was very developed rapidly in the years of the leadership of the Duke of Burhansangkala. Many traders outside the area who peddle their merchandise to the coral area menjangan, because the area is currently famous for its economy is very advanced rapidly under the leadership of the Duke of Burhansangkala who is large high-bodied.

No wonder that the progress of coral areas menjangan famous to all corners of the archipelago. Many wealthy merchants from outside the region want to see the prosperity of the coral area menjangan, they are investing some of their wealth to establish a business in the area.

Then the soldiers of the suryaloka kingdom who attract tribute to the coral duchy menjangan, they can not be welcomed by the Duke of Burhansangkala coral ruler menjanagan?

"A pardon Kanjeng Duke of Burhansangkala, as usual we came here to draw annual tribute to the kingdom of suryaloka?", replied one of the soldiers of the kingdom of suryaloka with a tone of fear.

"What!, attract tribute!, It's good that suryaloka always draws tribute to me, tell your lord, that there is no longer any tribute from the dangling corals to suryaloka forever!", The Duke of Burhansangkala answered arrogantly to the soldiers of suryaloka.

"Even Ayahnda, if it is like this, it is called Ayahnda Adipati against the power of suryaloka?", said the handsome Raden Mahesasangkala, son of the Duke of Burhansangkala.

"Be quiet, Mahesa!, Do not interfere in any decision you wish!", snapped the Duke of Burhansangkala to his son Raden Mahesasangkala.

Then the tributary soldiers returned empty-handed because the Duke of Burhansangkala ruler of the coral area menjangan would not pay tribute to suryaloka. Then when the prujurits arrived in the kingdom of suryaloka, they reported the dukes of Burhansangkala to Maha Patih Damarwijaya. He Maha Patih Damarwijaya was very furious to hear the reports from his soldiers.

"Although Maha Patih Damarwijaya, I will also report the important things that have happened in the coral menjangan, according to the news from the telik password that I have spread throughout the corners of Suryaloka, Suryaloka, there are reports that there is a suspicious situation that the Duke of Burhansangkala has planned, apparently from reliable sources that I heard, there will be a rebellion from the Duke of Burhansangkala against suryaloka?", the word senopati Kuncoro is a muscular body with a knight spirit, it is the best senopati that suryaloka has.

"If that is the reality, news of the plan of the rebellion to be carried out by the Duke of Burhansangkala not to spread to the outside, we take this matter seriously, how do you think to be a member of Winara?", said Maha Patih Damarwijaya while clenching his hands because he felt annoyed at the action of the Duke of Burhansangkala the ruler of coral menjangan.

"Although Maha Patih Damarwijaya, this cannot be allowed, the Duke of Burhansangkala like a thorn in the flesh, with his plan, he is very dangerous for the unity and unity of suryaloka, destroy him as he can, he said, do not drag on to overcome problems like this, if left too long will be like an infectious disease?", Advice from the friends of Winara, if left too long will be like a contagious disease, a suryaloka royal advisor with a warrior spirit who is loyal to his country.

This problem became a very serious response from the authority of suryaloka, because the Duke of Burhansangkala is famous for his magic, he has the science of Rawarontek and the study of Brajamusti, which he has, and he is always accompanied by his right hand is very loyal, the powerful mandraguna is senopati Kolomongo who has a very devious nature. Not to mention coupled with his special troops named the Sura Guard soldiers. One Sura Guard warrior had the same strength as seven ordinary warriors. Finally Maha Patih Damarwijaya sent a warning letter so that the Duke of Burhansangkala would abandon his intention to rebel to Suryaloka. The first warning letter was rejected, then a few days later the second warning letter was sent, and the result remained the same, he was rejected.

Then two weeks after sending the second warning letter, finally Maha Patih Damarwijaya sent the last or third warning letter. And the result is one of the suryaloka soldiers who delivered the warning letter was killed by the Duke of Burhansangkala, it is as a form of resistance to the kingdom of suryaloka. Finally Maha Patih Damarwijaya rose black because he felt the piercing of the Duke of Burhansangkala was inhuman, not worth forgiving and must be destroyed immediately. Then He Maha Patih Damarwijaya immediately sent Prince Gunturwijaya to ask for help from his teacher, Resi Malaka, who was located near the Suryaloka kingdom. The goal is for the Malacca rishis to inform Prince Gunawijaya using his telepathy, about the problem of the rebellion to be carried out by the Duke of Burhansangkala?

"Honor the servant of Prince Gunawijaya?" said the Malacca sage who spoke through telepathy or inner contact with Prince Gunawijaya.

Immediately right in the middle of the journey, Prince Gunawijaya who was in front of his escort group immediately stopped his trip by raising his hand to signal a stop to his entourage, he said, because Prince Gunawijaya heard the sound of Malacca sage from his heart. This is the telepathic ability of Prince Gunawijaya and Malacca sages who can speak from the heart of kehati without distance restrictions.

"Sincerely I also sage Malacca", replied Prince Gunawijaya using his telepathy.

Then the Malacca rishis used his telepathy to tell about all the problems suryaloka faced would be a rebellion to be done by the Duke of Burhansangkala ruler of coral area menjangan. Prince Gunawijaya who heard the news took it seriously, firmly Prince Gunawijaya ordered that as soon as possible suryaloka attack the coral menjangan, and he promised to help suryaloka when needed.

Then Prince Jatiwijaya asked with curiosity to Prince Gunawijaya?

"Sorry Prince Kanda, if I may know, what is it that suddenly the Prince Kanda stopped this journey".

"Barusan sesi Malaka delivered important news about suryaloka using his telepathy?", replied Prince Gunawijaya.

Then Prince Gunawijaya told the important news to his cousin's younger brother, Prince Jatiwijaya, and his other retinue of guards. When they all knew the news, then Prince Gunawijaya sent two of his guards, Sanjaya with Mandala to go first to help suryaloka to fight the Duke of Burhansangkala who will fight against suryaloka. Finally, the two of them immediately went to Kesuryaloka by riding a giant eagle belonging to Balamarwan senopati to become a relief force from Prince Gunawijaya.
