Prince Without Crown

Prince Without Crown
Prince Indra's coronation as King


Today, is a very historic day for all the people of Sri Kemuning and his conquered territories, namely Setra Kencana and Paku Bumi which has now merged into one kingdom only. This is because, on this day the coronation of Crown Prince Indra Mahesa became King in the kingdom of Sri Kemuning.


This traditional coronation event took place solemnly. What's more when Prince Indra Mahesa is wearing a crown of greatness which means, it is legitimate that he is currently occupying the top of leadership in a kingdom.


The people are now spilling again in front of the palace Hall and taking turns washing the feet of their new king.


After everything was finished, Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa stood up and began to convey his words.


"O my people. I am Indra Mahesa, the only son of my predecessor Gusti Prabu Jaya Wardana.


Here, I want for all the people of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning and other conquered territories, to be together in advancing the kingdom and the welfare of all the people in the kingdom of Sri Kemuning.


Today, we are all free from the shackles of oppression, colonization, arbitrary leaders of the people and also fear. It is time to build strength and improve the living standards of the people who have suffered so much.


To realize the dreams and lofty ideals of building a kingdom that is safe, prosperous, peaceful and sovereign, of course I cannot be alone. I need all of you for us to be able to complement each other.


A king without a people is not a king. A commander without an army is not a commander. But without a king, all the people are still people.


The function of a leader is to be a supervisor, representing the heart of the people with the aim of mutual welfare, stabilizing and making the final decision with deliberation in advance of course.


So, this kingdom will be strong, if its people are strong. Strong misrepresentation, strong natural resources, strong unity, strong love for this country, strong concern for self and surroundings, strong soul and body. And most importantly, his faith in the Creator is strong. That is, God is great.


A kingdom will stand firm if the people also stand firm behind its leaders. If I'm misguided, I hope that you can straighten my way back. Because, there are many stories that we know in a kingdom if the people do not stand behind the king. The kingdom will soon collapse.


The king and the kingdom are strong because of the people, and the people will prosper and prosper with a just king. This is what I mean that, I cannot stand alone and say, I am able to prosper my people. However, I invite all of you to equally achieve that welfare.


Are you, my people ready to achieve that success?"


"We are ready.., we are ready.., we are ready..,"


"alright. Here, in front of all of you, me, I, King Indra Mahesa will hand out the duty to my confidants to be my representatives in all corners of the country that are in the power of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning."


"For the Setra Kencana region, I appointed Raden Danu as Mangkubumi there. Raden Danu can rebuild the palace on the site of the former royal palace that has been burned!"


"Sendiko Dawuh, Gusti Prabu!" Raden Danu said while praying.


"For Commander Rangga, Uncle will be the supreme commander in the kingdom of Sri Kemuning. Accept this leadership badge!" Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa said as he handed over a dragon head-shaped badge. The badge is a symbol of leadership that can move a great power. The badge was also a symbol of the absolute order from the king to his warlord.


Commander Rangga immediately shuffled and then raised his hand to accept the award of office and leadership badge.


"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu!" Said Panglima Rangga while arranging worship.


"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu" said Larkin. He did not believe at all that Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa gave that trust to him.


Grateful, he immediately gave the worship of a servant towards leading him.


"For Sadewa, you'll be the head of the state cipher,"


"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu!" Said Sadewa who immediately gave prayers.


"Uncle Wiguna, Uncle Arya Permadi, you two will leave for Paku Bumi. You two are true friends. Therefore, I hand over the leadership in Paku Bumi to the two of you. Fight the rest of the rebellion there!"


"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu's. The two servants will carry out the trust as best they can" said Wiguna who was also adopted by Arya Permadi.


"For Tumenggung Paksi, there is a region far away in the natural peak area. I raised you to be the King of Tumenggung at the peak of nature," Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa said as he winked at Tumenggung Paksi who was immediately greeted with prayer by the middle-aged man.


"Uncle Senopati Arya Prana. My uncle is my deputy. So, I raised Uncle as Mahapatih in Sri Kemuning's kingdom,"


The roar of the voices of all those in the Hall echoed in welcoming this rapture. They all congratulated Arya Prana who had been appointed the Mahapatih of the kingdom, on par with the post of Prime Minister.


"People worthy of a proper office, too," they said, clapping.


"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu, for the high position that Gusti put on the shoulders of servants," said Mahapatih Arya Prana while arranging worship.


"For the two Princesses who are on my left and right side, namely Putri Melur and Putri Sekar Mayang. I will not choose any of you who will be empresses. For me, whoever among you can give me the first son's offspring, of course it is the zuriat and the seed of me, then he is the one I will crown as the royal Empress Sri Kemuning," gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa said with a cold smile.


"Everything is fixed and irrevocable. The word of the king is the word. The word for all the people. Therefore, let us realize our lofty ideals to build this country together!" Prince Indra Mahesa said, then came down from his throne.


"Life of Sri Kemuning,"


"Live Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa!"


The soldiers now appear to be pulling a carriage without a roof. With Mahapatih Arya Prana as a coachman, they then set out to parade the new King in the kingdom of Sri Kemuning to surround the king's city.


Along the way, all the people were very fond of Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa's group.


All of them were scrambling to throw flowers at their new king.
