8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Stone Eyes 4: Meeting of Two Queens
*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*
This was the first time the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom deployed two-thirds of its troops. Military troops and warriors were deployed to welcome guests suspected of inviting war. The first time was the Sanggana Ghost Army and the Princess Sword Force were deployed to the front lines.
Queen Lembayung Mekar and thousands of troops of the Balilitan Kingdom have arrived at the western foot of Mount Prabu. In a valley, they built campsites and military bases.
Before the meeting of the two royal powers, Queen Lembayung Mekar first sent an envoy to Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana to deliver a letter.
“Random!” joko's orders are lying on his bed.
Empress Kerling Sukma, who received a roll of cloth letters, immediately opened the letter.
“For the powerful and mighty King of the Kingdom of Little Sanggana. Greetings from Queen Lembayung Mekar, the new ruler of the Balilitan Kingdom and the widow of King Galang Madra. I came with fifteen thousand men. I invite His Majesty to meet in the west of Mount Prabu for talks. My respect, Queen Lembayung Mekar,” read Kerling Sukma. Then she said to her husband, “See, there is a stamp of Kingdom Balilitan.”
Joko Calm looks for a moment at the letter shown by Kerling Sukma.
“My dear Queen, go see Queen Lembayung Mekar. Try to avoid war. Human life is precious. However, bring most of our troops!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Kakang Prabu,” said Ratu Getara Cinta.
“Green Eyes Empress, accompany your sister!” joko Calm's Order.
“Good, Kakang Prabu,” said Kerling Sukma.
“My dear sister, escort the Queen!” chirps Princess Sagiya.
“Hahaha!” joko Laughter Quietly heard his sister's speech. Then he said, “My dear sister, escort the Queen and Empress!”
“Good, Kakang Prabu,” said Putri Sagiya while smiling happily. Princess Sagiya indeed had to be breastfed, she sometimes had to drown among the wives of her half-sisters.
“Next, come back and tell your queen that we will meet her west of Mount Prabu!” exclaim Queen Getara Love to the messenger warrior who waits outside the room.
After that, Empress Kerling Sukma and Senopati Batik Mida immediately prepared her troops.
Once everything was ready, they set out for the western side of the foot of the mountain. Reksa Dipa, Nyi Mut, Tangpa Sanding, and Sebalah Rengkuh are also Flower Guards. Mut Nyi Mut and Mut escorted the queen, while Tangpa Sanding and Sebalah Rengkuh escorted Empress Kerling Sukma.
And there came the army of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom in the western valley of Mount Prabu.
Now the armies of the two kingdoms had looked at each other from afar. It is very clear that there is an imbalance in the comparison between the two armies. On the west side, the Balilitan Kingdom army numbered fifteen thousand soldiers. While on the east side, the army of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom was less than a thousand people.
Apparently, the Balilitan Kingdom had built a fairly large tent in the middle of an empty field. The big tent was empty unattended by a single soldier.
Seen from the Balilitan Kingdom troop troop running a horseman on his back tucked a white flag, as a sign that he was a messenger.
Senopati Batik Mida signaled for the messenger soldiers to also come forward to meet the enemy envoys in the middle of the distance.
Meanwhile, Queen Lembayung Mekar had been standing on her war chariot. The person who is the right person is Mahapati Tarik Sewu.
After the two envoys met and exchanged information, they turned back and informed their respective queens.
“Report, Your Highness Gusti. From the Balilitan Kingdom side, Queen Lembayung Mekar himself who will negotiate, escorted by Mahapati Tarik Sewu!” report the messenger soldier.
While on the side of the Balilitan Kingdom.
“Report, Gusti Queen! The Kingdom of Sanggana Kecil will send Queen Getara Cinta and will be accompanied by Empress Kerling Sukma!” report the messenger soldier.
“What? Queen and empress?” queen Lembayung said in astonishment. “Why isn't Prabu Dira coming?”
“Will Prabu Dira not be in his palace.” said Mahapati Tarik Sewu.
“Alright, if it has to be war no problem!” queen Lembayung Mekar said. Then the command, “Jalan!”
Queen Lembayung Mekar is a forty-five-year-old woman, several years older than Queen Getara Love. Even though she was mature, she was still very beautiful. Smoothness, cleanliness and firmness of the bright skin, still so clearly visible. It was so magnificent with its bright blue clothes combined with its black war clothes.
Mahapati Tarik Sewu is a rather thin man, but has hard hand and body muscles. He wore a thick black leather armor, which on his chest was covered with metal plates. There was a gold-circular decoration on his head. His weapon is a pair of cocks that are mounted on both of his sturdy arms.
Mahapati Tarik Sewu then pounded the horse towing the red carriage. The carriage left the cavalry marching behind.
Seeing the queen's horse carriage already running towards the tent in the middle of the terrain, Queen Getara Cinta and Empress Kerling Sukma spurred her horse with a moderate step.
Queen Lembayung Mekar's carriage arrived first in the tent. When Queen Getara Cinta and Empress Kerling Sukma arrived, the Queen was enchanted with Mekar Lembayung. He who feels so beautiful, it turns out that the woman owned by Prabu Dira is no less beautiful. Especially when looking at the beauty of green eyes Kerling Sukma.
The use of different tiara and the appearance of Queen Getara Love, makes Queen Lembayung Mekar can guess which queen and which empress.
“Please, Queen!” said Queen Lembayung Mekar invited the two wives of Joko to enter first.
“Please!” queen Getara said Love too.
Finally Queen Lembayung Mekar mandahului entered into a fairly magnificent tent. He was accompanied by Mahapati Tarik Sewu. After that, Queen Getara Cinta and Empress Kerling Sukma entered.
Inside the tent there was nothing but two chairs facing each other within two fathoms.
“Please!” queen Lembayung Mekar said.
The two queens sat on chairs and stared at each other in smiles.
Mahapati Tarik Sewu was standing a bit far behind his queen chair. Kerling Sukma did the same, imitating Mahapati. However, the two could still hear clearly what the two queens were talking about.
While the leaders of the troops are ready, must wait for the results of the negotiations. If one of the queens decides to go to war, then war will happen. (BH)
