Prince Without Crown
The drama of Senopati
All those who were sitting in the pendopo and in the old man's food stall were now turned toward the rich merchant.
This was because due to being too angry, the man disguised as a rich merchant subconsciously now hit the table very hard.
To make it not too suspected by other visitors, the owner of the stall was forced to play a show. He now knelt down on the floor of the food stall, repeatedly begging for mercy for offending the rich man.
"Forgive me, Raden. Aki was too old and a little funny" said the man who owned the stall.
Brakk!
"Next time watch who your customers are. Do I have to burn down this stall of yours so you can respect someone who should be respected like me huh?" Bentak the Senopati.
"Although Raden," said the owner of the stall then rushed to tell his assistant to immediately serve food and drinks at the table owned by Senopati Arya Prana who disguised as a rich merchant.
Meanwhile, at the opposite table, Gayatri and Andini had been clenching their hands to beat up the man who looked very arrogant and arrogant.
Repeatedly he was about to get up from his seat, repeatedly Bayu Gatra prevented him from making the warrior woman sit back and swallow all his anger.
To him, he could not bear to see a man who was very old like the owner of this stall being yelled at by a fancy-clothed man who looked very disrespectful to an older person.
"Hold your anger Andini. Sometimes what is seen before the eyes is not the same as what is implied. There are many puzzles in life that cannot be solved with just one look" Bayu Gatra said.
Prince Indra who has since deployed the Study of the Differentiator of Nadi can clearly hear everything they say. It's just that, because they mostly use the words cipher language, making him unable to catch the intent of the conversation of the two people. But clearly, they were currently in a show. At least that is how Prince Indra Mahesa can conclude.
"Already! Don't mind other people's business that we don't know the truth about. Let's eat. Our journey is still far away. If we don't trade the horses, then the horses in the place where the horse traders live are ugly," Bayu Gatra said as he shifted a plate of food in front of Andini.
What the two young men and two women were talking about did not go unnoticed by Wiguna, Arya Permadi, Tumenggung Paki, and Panglima Rangga.
They praised the four young men and the girl as young people who uphold the values of modesty.
"After seeing for myself, I was sure that the four young men and the girl were neither bad men nor spies sent by Jaya Pradana to spy on the teak valley. Just look at their response, the three Senopati Arya Prana had played with the owner of the stall. They seemed to growl even more so the two women," Commander Rangga said to the other three.
"You said it was Kakang Rangga. Hopefully, these are not spies or enemies who pretend," Wiguna said a little hope.
"They are obviously very young, and also innocent. My guess is that they just came down the mountain" said Arya Permadi.
"Yes. Hopefully," they said expectantly. Because at this time very rare thing in this colonized kingdom is the courage of its young people to oppose the occupation and break away from the shackles so that they can stand on their land as a people who belong to them freemen.
