"Why did you say you wanted to make my daughter Queen, didn't you say the wrong thing?" ask Baladewa
"Of course not Uncle, rather than me marrying someone who only targets my position better I marry someone who is loyal to me" replied Genta
"But you and Anjani are cousins, and our family is strongly opposed to inbreeding" Baladewa replied
"I know Anjani is not Uncle's daughter, she is Uncle's adopted daughter instead, Uncle's daughter is actually dead. But to comfort Aunt who was sick at the time you tried to lie to her and tell her that Anjani was her daughter" replied Genta
"How did you know?" ask Baladewa curiously
"Romo, he accidentally told me," replied Genta
"You don't have to worry Uncle, I'm sure Auntie won't be mad at you. He'll forgive Uncle let alone love Anjani so much,"
"Now say, what is the need for Uncle to come see me?" ask Genta
"I will tell you about the crimes committed by Gotawa," Baladewa provided several files of evidence of Gotawa's crimes of corruption during his time as Secretary of the Government.
"Hmmm, indeed in this Palace many evil people, they work only to enrich themselves without thinking about the welfare of the people. They tried to maintain their position by seeking the support of the ruler, they approached him, licked him, even someone willing to give his daughter just to gain power. Once the power and position in their possession they will drain the wealth of the kingdom to enrich themselves, and frolicking, looking for as many concubines as possible, a hedonic lifestyle. They really do curse. I swear I'll punish them all indiscriminately."
"Thank you Uncle, we'd better join the others at Balairung Raja, immediately" Genta took Baladewa to Balairung
Everyone immediately saluted when Genta entered the room.
Meanwhile Gotawa stared at the hateful Baladewa.
You licker, I think you're the most loyal and not the job freak, you're the same. Regret that I underestimated you Baladewa.
"Alright the high officials, courtiers of the Keraton, the, now comes the time for me to read the mutation and promotion for the officials and Abdi Dalem Keraton who have become loyal devotees of the Palace and work hard for the progress of Cendana Kalingga,"
"The first is the commander of the Baldives kingdom will I promote to be the highest official in the kingdom, while the position of the empty Royal Commander will be occupied by my brother Prince Devin Rakabuming,"
All who were present there suddenly boisterously heard Devin being appointed as the commander of the kingdom. The calm Susana became boisterous making Genta angry until forced to stop the commotion.
"Silence everyone!!" his screams made everything instantly speechless. The atmosphere was again conducive and he continued the reading of the official order that would help him rule the Kalingga Palace.
"For the Secretary of the kingdom of Gotawa Wiraguna, as it is proven to be wrong to use authority and power by corruption in various projects of the Kingdom, it will be removed from his position. Given his services to the Keraton Cendana Kalingga then I decided not to punish him but instead would isolate him in the slums and remote!!" said Genta makes Gotawa immediately kneel in front of him
"Can't you consider your decision, haven't I saved your life and helped you become King of this land. Can't you forgive me, your majesty?" tanyanya while clenching her hands
"Uncle, I have granted you my pardon, you should be sentenced to life imprisonment and all your assets confiscated by the Court, but I didn't do it considering your merits that saved my life and I'm so grateful for that. You don't have to worry, in your place of exile I've provided everything you need. So you don't have to fear the lack there, even I also gave a servant to help you there. And for your safety I also ordered some soldiers to guard my residence so that no bad guys would approve" replied Genta
*flashback
Adi Candra immediately intercepts the car that will pick Genta up from Kinan's residence.
He dropped them off and tied them up. He then replaced it with his men.
"Okay Sir!" answer Adi Candra's men
They immediately headed to Jogjakarta to pick up Prince Genta Bhumi.
Arrive at their Kinan house immediately
"Why do we stop here?" ask Genta suspiciously
Some of the guards who had picked him up did not take him to the Palace, but instead drove him to the Adi Candra residence.
Cold sweat had soaked his cheeks, Genta was so frightened that Adi Candra would kill him. Just like when he was staying at the hotel.
"You don't have to fear your majesty, my Father only wants to talk to you in one eye" Suliwa said
"Are Uncle and Grandpa going to kill me?" ask Genta
"We are not that cruel Prince," said Adi Candra entering the living room.
"Please sit down, everyone get out of here!!" add Adi Candra
"I just want to tell you something very important. We are hostile in politics but in family life, you are my grandson of course as a grandfather will always love every grandson. And always counsel him and lead him down the right path if he is on the wrong path."
Adi Candra stopped her speech and gave some documents to Genta.
"Read on!!" his orders
Genta immediately opened the document and read it.
He was surprised to see what he read, his tears flowing down his cheeks.
"In politics very few honest people are even rare. As strong as the faith of someone who is in the world of politics, will certainly falter too if every day is always imitated with property, tathta and women, and, over time those who were once good will turn greedy as well. Like a rock that will crack also when every day it is dripped by water."
"You can see the history of your father being King, and why the Secretary of Gotawa did so much corruption, and now desperately make yourself king of Cendana Kalingga. Even he deliberately pitted against you and your sister just because of a mistake made by his mother. Devin knew nothing about what Harsiwi did, nor did I.
As the father of Harsiwi I apologize for what my daughter did to you, I understand that you cannot forgive her, because if I were you I would do the same thing maybe even more cruel than you.
So don't blame Devin for this. He loved you so much that he always denied his mother just to defend you.
If you want to be King of Sandalwood Kalinga of course I will support him, but one piece of advice I have to be a wise King. Eliminate corrupt officials in your neighborhood, and get rid of officials who have personal grudges with your family if you want your position to be safe. Make the person I believe to be the highest official who can help you when your political opponents stage a coup. Marry the daughter of a loyal high official and have a lot of support from the people so that you can maintain your power.
Law of Gotawa or send him into exile. Remember my grandson Gotawa deliberately approached you so that he could escape the corruption penalty he did. As a defense deputy I've had a track record of Gotawa's crimes, but he's hard to touch because too many officials support him. But you can give him a punishment. Only the King has the full power to bring down high offices. Remember Genta he's good to you because he means something. His late father was the King who was impeached by your father because of the corruption that ensnared him. So there's no way he's going to take his revenge on you and Devin.
Everything I've talked to you about isn't empty, it's all proof, and I've been collecting it for a long time. And now is the right time to reveal it.
You can use your Uncle Baladawe and also Devin to occupy that strategic position, so that at any time Gotawa intends to carry out a coup you will still be in a safe position. And he won't be able to impeach you. And even if that happens then the King's position will be immediately replaced by Baladeva or Devin, not Gotawa!" bright Adi Candra
