Prince Without Crown
Returning to the king's city was regret

After three days of exhausting journey, finally Prince Indra Mahesa and Gayatri arrived also at the border of the royal city of Galuh.

Without reducing the speed of their horse mounts, the two of them then spurred the horse towards directly to the royal palace.

Incidentally, the palace is currently gathering the royal elders in the Paseban room to discuss the ongoing war between the Galuh kingdom against the army of soldiers from Paku Bumi.

The arrival of Prince Indra Mahesa along with Gayatri was of course very surprising for them.

Many of them asked in their hearts why the commander-in-chief of the kingdom left his army to return to the king's city.

Meanwhile outside, Prince Indra directly entered the Paseban room with firm steps and full of authority. Seen her hair unraveled past the shoulder and in the grip of her left hand, there is a keris with the head of a dragon known by them is kemuning tumbal keris.

Seeing from the way the prince walks Indra, this thing again reminds Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh about his dream ten years ago.

"Grandfather Prabu, the return servant will not be long. After this the servant will return to join the slave army at the border. The arrival of the servant came here only to say that the servant wanted to become a king who had a crown that was greater than the crown that Grandpa Prabu was currently wearing," Prince Indra Mahesa said.

"My grandson. What did you mean by that word? Have you managed to defeat the soldiers of the Earth Spikes?" Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh.

"For now not yet. But soon the servant and the whole army will win this war. At that time, the servant will be king in three kingdoms at once. The servant will be king in Paku bumi, Sri Kemuning and Setra Kencana" replied Prince Indra Mahesa who looked very confident.

"Then, what's the matter so you go back to the king's city? Do you need help or something else? If you need help, you should just tell Prabu Kerta Rajasa. This is because, the soldiers we have all already departed for the battlefield,"

"Not at all Prabu's grandfather. The servant came back just to pick up Sadewa. Servant needs his expertise in terms of infiltrating. Servant wants Sadewa to be a liaison between the spies that I sent to make it easier to convey the message" replied Prince Indra Mahesa.

"Then, fine. You can return to your team and bring us good news here immediately" Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh said expectantly.

"Mother, ananda please permit. Ananda just stopped by to ensure security in this king's city. Right now our soldiers have been waiting for ananda in the teak valley. Mother can't divulge this secret!" Prince Indra Mahesa whispered as he was about to say goodbye.

"How come? Is not the soldier led by Jaya Pradana currently in the duchy of Gedangan?" Empress Galuh Cendana asked as well while whispering.

"The diasat that you did managed to make them tremble, Mother. They have withdrawn the troops from the duchy of Gedangan with the intention to support us from behind through the teak valley. Please blessing from his mother. Ananda will soon be good news!"

"Return up my son. Mother's blessings and prayers will always accompany your struggle,"

"Dinda Gayatri's! Will Dinda not say goodbye to my mother?"

This question from Prince Indra Mahesa immediately made Gayatri stunned without knowing what to do.

Empress Galuh Cendana just smiled and then moved from her seat to Gayatri who stood some distance away near the soldier who was in charge of guarding the door.

"Prince's Back. Allow me to participate to the battlefield!" Pinta Putri Melur's.

"You want to go to war? What can a spoiled princess like you do? You will be a burden for us later," refused Prince Indra without Tedeng aling-aling. He was still upset with this spoiled girl. From the first impression they just met is not good. What else is getting to know the true nature of the Princess of Garingging's kingdom. It's getting worse for him.

"You must not doubt my abilities, Brother! I don't lose to that Gayatri! I also studied Kanuragan. I'm good at archery, too. Did you assume that I would lose to that girl?"cibir Putri Melur while tracking her waist.

"My daughter. Do you know who you're talking to right now? You should know where you are! Look at Prabu Rakai Galuh's grandfather! Why are you so savage?" Tegur Gusti Prabu Kerta Rajasa who felt ashamed of his daughter's actions.

"Anyway, allowed or not, I will go to war to help Indra Mahesa's brother. We have a thousand soldiers here. I will lead a thousand of our soldiers to help in the Duchy of Gedangan!" Princess Melur said she would not give up.

"Uwak Prabu.., I also want to join forces led by the brother of Indra Mahesa. The bond of the servant is round. Servants also have the right to fight for this country. As the daughter of a Mahapatih, the niece of Uwak Prabu Rakai Galuh, the cousin of Empress Galuh Cendana, there is no reason for Kakang Indra Mahesa to refuse the participation of servants to defend this country from enemy attacks," this time Sekar Mayang also spoke up.

Hearing all this, made Prince Indra Mahesa suddenly feel dizzy seven circumference.

"If I had known this, I regretted stopping in this king's city. Sorry I did not follow the advice of Gayatri when in the bamboo forest yesterday" Prince Indra said in his heart.

"Grandfather Prabu, Uncle Prabu Kerta Rajasa, Grandpa Mahapatih and Empress Mother, I beg you first," said Prince Indra and then flicked the cloth wrapped around his waist violently. Then, without having a chance to get an answer, he immediately left the Paseban room while forcibly pulling Gayatri's hand.

"Slow down, Kakang! My hands hurt. Don't be upset with the two women, I'm the target, too" Gayatri said, massaging her painful wrist.

"Quick exchange your horses at the instal! Kakang is waiting in front of there. We'll be leaving soon!" Prince Indra Mahesa immediately called for a soldier to stand guard.

"Hamba, Gusti Prince,"

"Call Sadewa immediately. Tell him I'm waiting for him at the east gate of the king's city. Tell him to go to see me immediately. Remember that! No one hears this command from me. Especially those two princesses!" The message of Prince Indra Mahesa was immediately replied with a nod of the head of a soldier.

After swapping their horses for new and more sturdy, the princes Indra Mahesa and Gayatri immediately pounded their horses leaving the front of the palace. At least they did not heed the cry of Princess Melur and Sekar Mayang who asked that they wait to leave together.

"Quick Dinda! We have to outwit the two girls. Otherwise, they will become a burden for us later on!"

"All right Kakang!"

They continued to pound their horses towards the duchy of Gedangan. However, after halfway, they turned their way towards the eastern gate of the king's city to await the arrival of Sadewa.
