Crown Prince Sanggana
Sedupa 31: Queen's Court and 7 Consorts
*Seteru Two Islands (Sedupa)*
In the condition of both hands shackled by a rope of purple light behind his back, Gandang Duko was now kneeling on a floor, several spears in front of a stone staircase.
On top of the five steps staircase was a wide floor that had one carved black wooden chair. Sitting on it was the White-robed Second Concubine. She is the biological mother of Gandang Duko who served as the Elder of Punishment.
Behind the Punishing Elder was still a stone staircase that rose to the top with a height of ten steps. On it was a larger wooden chair painted in yellow gold.
In that chair sat a beautiful woman but half a century and nine years old. His bright red robe clearly made his figure easily the center of attention, especially his highest position. Her hair was neatly styled with a jeweled golden tiara on the head. The earrings are shiny, as is the neck that is decorated with several types of pearl necklaces. Her lips were bright red with purple-to-orange eyelids.
That woman was named the Queen of Lightning Flowers, the supreme leader of the Island of Seven Concubines. His real name is rarely known. Once sacred to his position, making his real name rarely mentioned and only important people know and can call it.
However, there are two small seats on the right and left side of the queen's large seat. On the right was occupied by a responsible girl, but not her beauty. The girl dressed in white without the color of egg yolks was named Sinai Kalbu, which has the honorary title which is also her current position, the Goddess of Lightning. One of the conditions to become the Goddess of Lightning is to have an unmitigated beauty. The beauty of Sinai Kalbu is so fresh and brilliant.
While in the left seat occupied by a girl aged range is still under thirteen years old. The daughter who was also in charge was none other than Mimi Mama, the former Second Killer of the Ten Golden Kepeng Assassins.
On the lower floor parallel to Gandang Duko, there were three other large seats on the right side and three seats on the left side. The two sets of three seats were opposite and facing each other.
The first chair was occupied by an elderly woman, but not as old as all of them. He was cloaked in black with silver embroidery. She was the First Concubine who held the title of Elder of the Natural Shield Goddess. He controls the security of the island.
The second chair was occupied by a slightly fat woman with a bakpao cheek. Although her cheeks had started to sag, but she had a beautiful nose. You can think for yourself what a beautiful nose is. Her hair was covered with a gold ring. He was plain white robed with no frills and buckets. She was the Third Concubine who had the title of the Island Mother Elder. The title was given due to its proximity to the small generation of Island Seven Concubines.
The third seat is empty. The person entitled to sit in the seat is the Fourth Concubine with the title of Elder of the Holy Virgin.
The fourth chair was occupied by a middle-aged woman over a year old. The light blue-robed lady was the youngest elder or concubine. The Fifth Concubine still had the rest of her beauty, moreover her red pupils and lipstick were quite thick. He is titled Dear Elder, because he is the most beloved concubine by the late King.
The fifth chair was occupied by a thin woman half a century and seven years old. It has a pair of thick eyebrows and a sharp nose. Her neatly styled hair was already two colors, black and white. He was wearing a bright green robe with silver edges. She was the Sixth Concubine who had the title of Elder Panjaga Egg Threshold Sakti. She's Tadayu's mother. His eyebrows and nose inherited his oldest son's model. Therefore, the mother and child will be similar if juxtaposed.
The sixth seat was occupied by the Seventh Concubine who was half a century and five years old. She was a tall and broad-shouldered woman. However, the purple-robed woman had a good body shape despite her age. The purple robe wrapped in a black belt made her look like an office lady. The Seventh Concubine is called the Elder of the Concubine.
In addition to one queen and six concubines present, the queen's children and concubines were also present in standing positions.
“Gandang Duko, what have you done in Gunung Dua Island?” asked the Second Concubine, who was once again informed that she was Gandang Duko's own biological mother.
“Mother, I beg ...”
“Your current position is as a suspect, not as my son, Gandang!” the Second Concubine snapped loudly and firmly, cutting off her son's words. “Don't you think, your standing as the Lord Fire Lord could make you disrespect the law of the great Seven Consorts Island!”
“Wish I was lying, but if it was revealed later, greater danger would befall me. I better be honest, at least if Tadayu is still alive, he must have raped Princess Uding Kemala,” thought Gandang Duko.
“Jawab, Line!” snarled the Second Concubine again.
“I and Prince Hand of Power went to Mount Dua to kidnap Princess of Lampara Kingdom. I burned the Peak Palace of Lampara Kingdom,” replied Gandang Duko smoothly, as if she had been steady to receive punishment.
“What?!” shock some of the Elders to hear the young boy's confession of the moustache owner, especially the Sixth Concubine because her son's name was mentioned in the confession.
“That's a gross violation!” exclaimed Seventh Concubine with an angry face.
“Then where is Prince Hand Power?” ask the Punishing Elder.
“Prince Hand of Power and Princess of Lampara Kingdom plunged into the sea last night. I did not find them after that,” replied Gandang Duko.
The elders again gasped, especially the mother of Tadayu.
“You mean, Prince Hand of Power drowned in the ocean?” ask the Sixth Concubine quickly.
“I didn't say drown, Elder. I just didn't find them. Maybe they drowned or they swam somewhere,” Gandang Duko argued.
“If until my son is killed, I will blame you, Prince!” threaten Sixth Concubine.
“Can't be like that, Elder. Prince Hand of Power who has this plan,” protests Gandang Duko in self-defense.
“Revenge, Elder,” replied Gandang Duko.
“Who has been killed by the people of Lampara Kingdom?” ask the Elders of Punishment as the chief judges of the land.
“Not killed, but kidnapped and raped,” replied Gandang Duko.
Instantly boisterous were the elders and members of the great family of the leaders of the country. They could immediately guess who the person who had been kidnapped and raped was.
“Princess Gunira,” calls some people who can immediately guess whose revenge is meant.
Meanwhile, the Ambang Sakti Egg Guard Elder was now somewhat downcast with a red, sad face mixed with anger.
Princess Gunira whose title of Straight Line Princess had been revoked, was not present at the place like the presence of the sons and daughters of the Elders. Since her title was revoked due to her misfortune raped, Tadayu's sister was banned from attending the Concubine Justice Room.
“What is the culprit of the Lampara Kingdom people?!” asked the Second Concubine angrily, to the point that she stood up from her seat.
The question suggests that the Elders or the leaders of the country do not yet know who the kidnapper and rapist Princess Gunira was.
The attitude shown by his mother made Gandang Duko sumringah, because it was a sign that he had the opportunity to be free from punishment.
“True. Prince Bangir Kukuh has paid the Three Demon Island Curse to immobilize and kidnap Princess Gunira to Bujang Island. Me and the Prince of the Hand of Power have killed two of the Three Demon Island Curse. One more person we captured and tied up on Bujang Island. From their mouths we got the name of Prince Bangir Kukuh, Prince of Lampara Kingdom,” explained Gandang Duko.
Suddenly the Sixth Concubine stood up with an angry face.
“The creation of the Prince of Lampara Kingdom is clearly a war relief. So for the sake of honor Seven Concubines Island, Lampara Kingdom we must fight to the point of being destroyed or all of them become slaves to humiliation!” exclaim Sixth Concubine.
“I agree. The Kingdom of Lampara must be fought. Our entire security with them has been our good to them. However, we cannot let if our silence makes us trampled by sea snails like that,” said the First Concubine also spoke.
“I agree,” says Fifth Concubine.
“I do not agree with the war, because it will have a bad impact on our children and our happiness that has been created. I only agreed to behead the Prince of Lampara Kingdom in this Consort City,” said the Third Concubine who has more affectionate nature than other concubines.
“Lapoaaar!” shouted a young man who entered by running. He screamed while he was still running. Perhaps because of the over-importance of the news he brought, to the point that his shout improvised into “lapar”.
“Hihihi!” There was a laugh of some elders hearing the young man's reporting style.
“Report! A Night Pirate Ship is closing in on the island!” report the young man after he stopped kneeling and saluting.
“What?!” shock most of the Elders and the others.
The surprise happened because all this time there was no group of pirates who dared to come to the island because of the magic of its leaders.
“Quiet!” exclaimed the Lightning Flower Queen suddenly, making the atmosphere instantly silent and attention centered on her. Then his order to the Second Concubine, “Decide in advance the matter of the Prince of Fire of Gods and the Prince of Power Hands!”
The Second Concubine then got down from her seat and turned to face up behind, where the Queen of Lightning Flowers sat with great authority.
“Good, Gusti Ratu,” said Second Concubine in honor.
After the Lightning Flower Queen nodded, Second Concubine returned to her seat facing the audience, instead of facing back again.
“I decide. The Fire Lord's Prince's imprisonment! The decision to attack Mount Two Island will only be set after hearing the testimony of the Hand of Power Prince and the surviving members of the Three Demonic Cursed Island. Please elders follow up on my decision!”
“Good, Punishing Elder!” the Elders who sit in the lower seats.
“Conference closed!” the Second Concubine cried louder.
Several men in dark blue uniforms immediately approached Gandang Duko to take him to the prison. The Fire Lord's Prince was only able to comply without showing any resistance since the decision of the Punishing Elder was already set. (BH)
