PCR 10: Kill Prabu Dira
*The Queen's Port of Love (PCR)*
Although the person who said it was his mother, Empress Sri Rahayu could not immediately believe it, because she had always been with Joko Calm since the last time she saw her father was still alive.
After being surprised, Joko Calmly tried to act calm. He got off his horse. He secretly felt a pulse of pain at the base of his thigh. Riding fast has made the heirloom of Joko Tenang increasingly suffer.
“Prabu Dira has killed your father, Sri Rahayu!” queen Sri Mayang Sih.
“What did Mother say? When Ayahanda was still with us, I never parted with Kakang Prabu. How can Mother accuse Kakang Prabu of killing Ayahanda?” sri Rahayu asked confused.
“It was not Prabu Dira who killed your father directly, but King Anjas, Prabu Dira's father who killed your father!” queen Sri Mayang Sih.
Again surprised Joko Calm and Sri Rahayu heard the new fact.
“Prabu Dira with Empress Tirana came to propose to you, but behind them did the cunning by killing your father. Empress Tirana is now with your father's killer and Consort Ningsih!” said Queen Sri Mayang Sih fiery.
Hearing that, this time Sri Rahayu looked seriously at her husband. His serious look seemed to ask for an explanation.
“I can't believe Kakang Prabu and Empress Tirana did such an evil conspiracy, but Mother witnessed for herself the conspiracy of murder against Ayahanda,” Sri Rahayu said with a pair of teary eyes. His mind and heart held back the turmoil of emotions that were hard to express.
“I did know my father's arrival when I tried to complete the terms given by Prabu Raga, but I did not have the slightest intention of killing my future in-laws. I also did not know about the plan harbored by my father. Until this moment, I have never met King Anjas since I was a baby,” explained Joko Calm.
“That doesn't make any sense at all, Prabu Dira. How could you know your father's arrival but you don't know about his plan to kill my husband?” tukas Ratu Sri Mayang Sih's.
“If the Queen's mother doesn't want to trust me, it'll be useless for me to try to argue. However, I want to make it clear, I do not have the slightest intention or plan to kill Prabu Raga. The beginning of my arrival to the Demon Palace was solely to propose Princess Sri Rahayu. At that time I did not know that Prabu Raga had imprisoned my mother since I was a baby. If I had known first, maybe this story would have been different. I asked the Queen Mother, what should I do to the man who imprisoned my mother for twenty years?” joko Calm.
Queen Sri Mayang Sih secretly heard the question of her daughter-in-law. Inwardly, Sri Rahayu also confirmed her husband. However, Queen Sri Mayang Sih did not want to lose the argument.
“You don't reverse who's wrong, Prabu Dira. The one who died was clearly my husband. The one who killed was obviously your father. Empress Tirana was your father's loyal servant. And you are the husband of Empress Tirana. Very clearly, the three of you should be responsible for my husband's death!” queen Sri Mayang Sih.
“Kakang Prabu, I beg you to be honest with me. Did you really know about the assassination plot against Ayahanda?” sri Rahayu said, confused.
“You must not be weak, my daughter. My daughter is a strict woman. Why are you acting so worried?” queen Sri Mayang Sih said to her daughter.
“Kakang Prabu, tell me the truth!” sri Rahayu Urge.
Joko Calmly looked at his new wife gently. He smiled at his wife.
“I'm a swordsman, honey. I couldn't possibly have chosen a sneaky path to kill someone. What my father did to your father was out of my knowledge, out of my responsibility. I did not know of any animosity between the two. However, if I see that my mother, who is my father's wife, has been kidnapped and imprisoned for so long, maybe I will justify if my father kills your father. You're a smart woman, I'm sure you can think clearly about this. Remember, you are the woman I love and want to make a wife. I really do not want us to be enemies because of this matter, Honey,”, said Joko Calm.
Sri Rahayu was completely overwhelmed with anxiety and confusion hearing her husband's explanation. Right now his feelings are very much defending his father's death. He had always been very respectful to his father, even though he knew that his father was a bad and cruel man.
“You've been blinded, my daughter. If you can't avenge your father's death, let Mother do it!” queen Sri Mayang Sih. Then his orders to the Five Princes Two Princesses, “Kill Prabu Dira!”
“Mother, Kakang Prabu is my husband!” pekik Sri Rahayu's.
The five Princes did not act straight away, they looked at each other first.
“Beat!” the Prince of the Kinky's orders finally.
“Mother, this will sacrifice lives in vain!” sri Rahayu to her mother.
“If you don't want to avenge your father's death, let Mother do it!” queen Sri Mayang Sih.
“I don't want to hurt you. I don't want anyone to get hurt, don't get sinews out of wits, kids!” joko Calm said to the five princes.
“Five Princes, don't attack Prabu Dira!” sri Rahayu Exclamation.
“Serang! Feel free to kill Prabu Dira!” shouted Queen Sri Mayang Sih.
The real Prince of Lima hesitated to attack Prabu Dira, finally attacking.
The Kinky Prince and the Bald Prince had jumped up with their respective attacks ready to be launched.
The Prince of Kinky sent out a long-range fist, visible on his fist there was a faint white layer that then shot out attacking Joko Calm.
The buks!
“Hukh!” lamented Joko Calm down for letting the fist strike hit his chest. It only exerts an inner energy to resist without attempting evasion. Joko Calm down to seep blood on the cleft of her red lips. The eyes of the Conqueror Tiger ring shone brightly, indicating the tiger wanted to come out when its master was attacked.
Joko's actions made Queen Sri Mayang Sih, Sri Rahayu and Prince Kinky himself surprised. They became even more anxious because at that moment, the Bald Prince flashed a ball-shaped red light that rotated on his axis.
Sess! Sreb's!
They made sure that Joko Calm would die if he did not avoid it, because the princes and princesses knew that science was destructive.
However, they were taken aback due to different conditions. Joko Calm resisted the attack with her back covered in Golden Flame Vest. The red light seeped in just disappeared into Joko's heirloom vest.
“I will not fight you because I am not guilty of the death of Prabu Raga. But I don't want to just die either. Don't blame me if my guards are against you!” exclaim Joko Calm still be gallant.
“Daddy, stop! I believe Kakang Prabu is innocent of Ayahanda's death!” sri Rahayu tried to persuade her mother.
“Mother, you are now my mother too. I open my hands to live as a family, not with a sense of killing. Sri Rahayu and I are now husband and wife. I beg Mother to be a mother in our lives,”, said Joko Calm trying to soften the heart of Queen Sri Mayang Sih.
The queen stared intently at Joko Calm. Now he is a little worried. She wondered if Joko was really involved in killing her husband.
“Mother, I beg you,” said Sri Rahayu while down on his knees in front of his mother. “They will not be able to fight Kakang Prabu if Mother forces.”
“Oh yes? I will listen to your words if your husband can defeat the Five Princes!” queen Sri Mayang Sih said to her daughter.
Shocked Sri Rahayu heard her mother's choice.
Hearing the words of his mother-in-law, Joko Calm felt like he had no other way but to prove himself by defeating the Five Princes.
“Kill Prabu Dira!” order of Queen Sri Mayang Sih to the Five Princes.
“Enough blood on my husband's dripping lips. If you dare to hurt him worse, I kill you all!” said the Empress of Heart Eyes who suddenly appeared at Joko's side Calm like a demon.
“Dewi Mata Hati?!” tekik Anyam Beringin was very surprised to see the emergence of the legendary swordsman who was more than a century old. (BH)
