Prince Without Crown
Plan tonight
Prince Indra Mahesa did not immediately answer Raden Danu's question. For him, it was not good to tell too much about the flaws that his troops were currently facing.
With a smile, Prince Indra Mahesa ordered Senopati Arya Prana and Tumenggung Paksi to bring Raden Danu and his soldiers to rest from a very tiring journey from the king's city to the Duchy of Gedangan.
Not wanting to be too urgent to the Prince, Raden Danu finally agreed and immediately joined when Senopati Arya Prana invited them to leave their place to stop before heading to the duchy palace.
When they both walked, Raden Danu learned that the current prince Indra Mahesa and his entire army very much cost at least ten thousand pieces of gold Ringgit to buy a horse.
That is all that Senopati Arya Prana tells us. He did not tell about the traps they had set up on the road under the cliff in the teak valley which is currently guarded by his younger brother Arya Permadi and Wiguna with the villagers of the duchy of Pitulung and the rest sri Kemuning's loyal soldiers.
Hearing this, Raden Danu momentarily stopped his steps. This makes Senopati Arya Prana and Tumenggung Paksi also follow to stop his steps and immediately ask. "What's Raden Danu? Why did you stop stepping?" Ask them in wonder.
"Actually ten thousand pieces of gold Ringgit was not a large amount. Only, the money was buried with the coffin right under the banyan tree in front of the royal palace of Setra Kencana. I did not have time to bring the money because the hunt was pursued by soldiers Paku Bumi," replied Raden Danu and then continued. "If anyone can, I'll be happy to show you the place. But you know for yourself. My martial arts are not equivalent to Raka Pati, what else is the Crow Ireng. I could die silly if caught up with them," Raden Danu said without realizing that Prince Indra Mahesa was currently eavesdropping on their conversation using a differentiator and pulse.
"As far as I know, a few years ago I was in the kingdom of Setra Kencana. In front of the palace were five large banyan trees. While in the kaputren section, there is another large banyan tree. Which tree is the one you mean?" Tanya Tumenggung Paksi's.
"Just in the middle! There are two on the left and two on the right. Then there was another one that slightly led to the palace walls. Between the tree and the wall was the coffin of money and the jewels I buried. I entrust this struggle to you for the independence of my country. I don't want to be king in place of my in-law Gusti Prabu Setra Kencana. Enough I occupy Setra Kencana as Duke only. As long as you are able to crush this Jaya Pradana criminal, I feel grateful. Because, revenge for the death of Prabu's father and my wife can be avenged!"
"Are you sure? The guard at the palace was very strict. I fear we will succeed" replied Raden Danu with a face full of doubt.
"The three of you can wait for me outside the palace walls. I'll take the crate you're talking about. The three of you leave first thing tonight after the moon is right at the end of your head. Then, you wait for me on the outside of the wall," a very clear whispering voice made Raden Danu wobble to look for the source of the voice.
"Heh?! Who's that?" Raden Danu asked as she looked around.
"Haha. It was Gusti Prince Indra. He speaks using the science of voice-sending. Don't be surprised. Besides a Prince, he is a young swordsman who is very powerful mandraguna" replied Senopati Arya Prana.
"Thankful lah. Because, to face Jaya Pradana, we must indeed have a champion that we can rely on. The king was very powerful. That said, the news that I heard, he was a student of a jungle of black forest that holds the title Black Datuk," said Raden Danu.
"I think so too. But nevermind. Let's continue the journey. You must be so exhausted, right?" Senopati said Arya Prana no longer wanted to talk about the handsome young Prince. Prince Indra Mahesa is currently using his Discernment and pulse study. What is the point of gossiping if the rumored can listen to their gossip clearly.
Seriate...
