The King is Desolate
A deteriorating state

From the top down to

central office. The king is wise and just, the instrument of the land
the bottom will be like that too.
*
The golden age of Asoka has faded.
The new king thinks only of his own needs and pleasures. The people never existed in his heart.
He had already handed over the total affairs of the kingdom to his uncle, Prime Minister Banara.
If you can, actually
he prefers to relax, frolicking, chatting with dozens
his concubine. Rather than take care of the country, which makes his head dizzy.
Better, he had fun enjoying the moonlight with a cup of wine in hand.
Seeing her beautiful concubines and charming bodies, who compete with each other to please her heart.
King Baruna, already drunk
apparently. He stood following the dance entertainment of his concubines
they are good at playing music and dancing.
Staggeredly
step over, and the mouth starts to get out of control, the King should
authoritative and mighty, even raving, singing discordant chasing the rhythm
and the musical tone that enlivened the party tonight.
Yeah, not just tonight. Almost every night like this.
Prime Minister of Banara
as his uncle, instead let everything happen. Sometimes even
participate in heating the atmosphere of the night, so that the King remains entangled in
the intoxicating pleasure.
Only ten royal special guards were prepared, to secure the king.
Overly
a tad. That too, the guards always come late in every party.
The King let them celebrate the feast, unable to resist. Buds
when love comes, their minds are happy.
The king feasts, the guards feast.
The king was drunk, the guards were drunk too.
Until that night
getting older, they never expect and realize, there is movement
six tall men, dressed in tight black.
His face was covered in a black veil, lightly leaping over the wall
castles.
Moving leaping quickly, on top of the palace buildings, headed to the king's residence.
The shadow, it seemed like it was already very poultice, places that were not guarded by bodyguards.
The quick, and soundless movement paralyzed the half-drunken special guards.
Go to the target center,
spread dope and tootokan long distance, paralyze the concubines who
no time to scream, because of the speed of the ambush.
Your Majesty depends
her dance, and her disconnected chant. His body staggered blown
wind... Stop halfway, because of the music player, dancer, singer, singer,
all of which were concubines of the king, fainted from dope or
a stone struck their conscious veins.
" Hey, why did ber..stop?" shouted the drunken King in anger.
No reply sounds.
No swiping or moving. Just a sudden wind
came, and six masked men had stood shut in him.
With a shadowy look, and feeling the peculiarity of the atmosphere, the king shouted to call his guard.
" Supervisor.. hi. where's the bodyguard?" shouted the King while staggering.
Blunt really
hats off to his teacher Restu Bhumi. Map of the ambush that has been
prepared by Restu Bhumi exactly in every inch of his. Not miss
the palace, in reality. Exactly. It was like his teacher was really
he was at Asoka Palace.
The round never
know, or don't know yet. He never thought that his teacher had
become a State Teacher in this country, decades ago!
Buntaran is the leader
the special secret that was smuggled in to lead this attack, became
the leader of the five special forces who had been sent first,
to make a plan. It turned out what his teacher had calculated
a big miss, regarding the power of palace security.
The mission went well,
no meaningful obstacles. Restu Bhumi never thought
that there was an insider's venture that undermined the power of the Palace.
And easily Buntaran and his five aides managed to infiltrate
castles.
Now they faced the King in a large kingdom of Asoka State, whose condition was very sad.
Without words and movement
the quick one, his burly long hand launched two tootokans to
paralyzing King. It is struck before falling, and shouldered like pieces
banana stems are like. Jumping and passing through the outer walls of the kingdom,
running fast towards Northwest.
The Mustache
transverse, deliberately moving the danger sign, until that night, in
the palace bustled with thundering sounds, the sound of bells as if there was a party.
To the surprise of all the royal guards and Prime Minister Banara himself.
Banara immediately jumped
from the plain body of enchanting Alamanda his concubine. In a hurry to get dressed and
next shot glide towards the palace of His Majesty.
Arriving at the place where His Majesty used to mingle, there were dozens of palace guards present, who were ready to wait for orders.
Banara saw ten special guards who were placed unconscious stuck in positions at their respective guard posts.
The concubines who were partying still fainted all over.
Only
one that is still conscious, because he was clever to see the ambush
that, he quickly pretended to faint by wrapping his face
with scarf. Free from smoke.
The Seven Months the name of the concubine recounted the brief incident.
" sorry... Premiered
The minister... His Majesty King Baruna has been kidnapped by six masked men
black, and the King fled towards the Northwest," he said in fear.
Hearings
the concubine, Banara's brain working fast, he immediately gave the code to
palace guard. Two codes at once, namely pursuit and refraction.
As Banara told all his guards.
" Kusuma, quickly muster up
your troops, do the chase, "he orders quickly. Unquestioningly
swiftly, Kusuma gave the command to carry out the chase.
Geger palace. The news was deliberately spread quickly. That His Majesty King Baruna has been kidnapped by criminals.
And Prime Minister Banara has ordered the chase.
Banara doing a strategy while diving drinking water.
This was an event that greatly benefited him.
He could borrow a hand and take advantage of the kidnapping.
To get rid of the king, through the hands of others.
That is why, it

pursuits. And after that on the road at once doing refraction,

Quickly and deftly, all neatly cleared it.
Then Ludiro went to Pavilliun Garuda which is not far from the saung where the verse was written, followed by Radar.
The steps are one-on-one.. dashing like an eagle!
The twilight is getting down. rumbling in the evening.. Outside the sky began to lose its color.
Dilangit young moon already appeared in the shadow of the gloom of the night that flew by....
The lights start to turn on
Prince Ludiro's palace looked bright and beautiful....
The Garuda Pavilion.,
The room was silent, when Prince Ludiro, entered the Garuda Pavilion followed by Radar.
Di
inside there are beautiful carved tables and chairs arranged in a circle. At
the middle of the arrangement there is a golden yellow carving chair, large and
high decorated carving of a garuda bird.
Prince Ludiro immediately occupied the seat.
His eyes were glued around.
Seen,

important in the old government order.
"
Friend.... What wind brought you all here?" Prince Ludiro
start by spreading a smile and a look to all who
be present.
His face was getting brighter and more handsome . Mature, carrying.
" I apologize a thousand, Your Majesty. Dare to die disturbing," Gopara began a conversation representing his three friends.
His round face displayed anxiety. And so did the other old ministers.
Ludiro did not respond just nodding and smiling faintly waiting for Gopara's continued conversation.
"
Your Majesty, I dare to face because I am anxious to see the situation
what happened in this country. Not because of envy and nonsense.
Not because of the grudge "removed" from the circle of power, no...

From the friend of Wijaya, although not on duty anymore, but because

Ludiro looked at Wijaya and nodded as a gesture to allow Wijaya to speak.
Seeing the gesture, Wijaya nodded and continued to give an explanation.
" I'm sorry a thousand sorry... That's what Kakang Gopara Baginda said.
Circumstances
people are getting more concerned. The people are taxed and ensnared
debt by local officials that began arbitrarily.
The people began to lose a lot of rice fields and land to pay their debts.
Temporal
officials began to act arbitrarily because they had power
and strength. Got a guard, a bouncer who's all recruited from
black people, bad people, sire,"
The situation in Pavilliun Garuda became quiet and the smell of anxiety was strong in the air.

Also in the capital. The offices have guards and builders

act arbitrarily.
They were very violent and wicked to the commoners and were very subject to licking to their master the official.
Crime is everywhere. Because the security guards are already hanging out with the sycophants and criminals.
Crime, theft, robbery, murder and even rape are increasingly common, coming as a plague.
Because of security officers, the army no longer cares about state security.
They only care about the safety of the employer and themselves.
Yang
worse.. is the state of Sang. ," the voice of Wijaya disconnected.
His face immediately pias pale, because too eager to give
the reports that always make his heart ache and tremble, look at the country that
his love changed like that. He thinks all this happened because
The King as the supreme ruler does not perform his functions.
Those words had already slipped off at the tip of his lips and retracted.
" Please forgive... A thousand times my mercy. The servant has done something bad!" Wijaya looks scared because it has been released by talking.
Things become quiet. All the guests were bowed uneasily, seeing that his lord was just silent and did not react.
Outside the night is already approaching
The cold air and dark atmosphere started to descend along with the shed night curtain
The screams of the night began to be heard passing.
The state of Prince Ludiro's Palace, has begun to shine, because all the lights and lighting have been turned on.

The long silence was broken by the slow and authoritative voice of Prince Ludiro.
"

Refreshed
those present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Prince Ludiro's voice, they
as if it saved his life, the fear of losing his life was gone
with Prince Ludiro's words.
" It's like eating simalakama fruit. Eaten by a dead father, not eaten by a dead mother. Both are a bond.
However, if left like this, Asoka Country can remain history," continued Prince Ludiro with masygul.
All who were present quietly listened, just waiting for the decision to be delivered by his Lord.
" Gopara's Friend.d, " the Prince's voice was interrupted by Yudhabara, who rushed into Villa Garuda.

Like the sound of lightning without rain striking and splitting the restless night without the moon and stars.
" What's...

A piece of his dignified handsome face seemed to change its tone.
Everyone present at the meeting was similarly shocked.

The prince who used to be patient, gentle, now changed his beauty Rajawali
The angry man!

its surface. Half a finger.
His face was red and his eyes were glistening sharply.
" It's too late!" grunts angry.
" Yudhabhara, quickly return to the Palace, the movement of all the troops to help the chase.
Radars,
