Prince Without Crown

Prince Without Crown
Arriving in the king's town


The convoy of soldiers had prepared to wait for the arrival of the beloved Princess of Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh in front of the gate to the city of the king of the kingdom of Galuh.


A palanquin seemed to have been provided to pick up the Empress whose throne was overthrown by her sister-in-law.


Just as the Queen's entourage arrived at the gate, the soldiers who welcomed their arrival immediately knelt respectfully with some of them playing musical instruments.


Some of the ladies-in-waiting walked straight to one of the horse-drawn carriages and led the Empress down and were welcome to enter a palanquin that looked very luxurious.


"Gusty Empress.., please!" Said the lady with great respect.


The queen did not answer. He just nodded and then entered into a stretcher that was directly carried by four sturdy soldiers.


By letting their horse mounts handled by the soldiers of the kingdom of Galuh, now three hundred soldiers coupled with Senopati Arya Prana, Panglima Rangga and Tumenggung Paksi stepped in followed by Bayu Gatra, Andini and Gayatri. Only Prince Indra Mahesa is currently riding a horse with a saddle made of gold and beautiful ornaments gallantly sitting on the horse's back while led by two soldiers.


All the people both from the natives of the kingdom of Galuh, as well as refugees from Sri Kemuning and Setra Kencana poured out on the road to welcome the arrival of the successor to the milestone struggle for the three kingdoms.


For the people of Sri Kemuning, they really hope that the handsome young man dressed in luxury with a sturdy, sturdy and handsome body is able to free them and their brothers who are still colonized.


For the people of Setra Kencana, they no longer have a king. And all the descendants of King Setra Kencana have been killed by the atrocities of Jaya Pradana. For them, hopefully the long-haired young man past the shoulder without the Crown was able to reclaim the kingdom of Setra Kencana. When that happened, they would very happily recognize the young man as the ruler. It was much better than having to be colonized by Jaya Pradana.


The voice of the entire population of the spilled king's city now began to complain about the arrival of the group while shouting, "live the ruler.., live the prince!"


Prince Indra Mahesa also welcomed the voice of the people of Galuh kingdom with a smile while raising one hand waving towards the people of this king's city.


More than a drink of tea, the procession of soldiers who picked Gusti Empress Galuh Cendana along with the group finally arrived also in front of the royal palace Galuh.


In the sema regal hall looks Prabu Rakai Galuh unceasingly smiling and looks impatient face ripples to meet his daughter who has not met for a dozen years.


"Mother.., please!" Prince Indra Mahesa said as he extended his hand as a hand to Empress Galuh Cendana.


"Please let your mother come in first. Grandpa Prabu certainly misses Mother very much" said Prince Indra Mahesa.


"Then you?"


"Ananda will soon follow," said Prince Indra Mahesa will deliberately enter the last to give the opportunity to Empress Galuh Cendana to release her longing to Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh.


Dozens of ladies are now helping Empress Galuh Cendana to walk in the middle of the vast hall while being accompanied by the gazes of all Galuh kingdom courtiers along with Gusti Prabu Kerta Rajasa and his daughter Melur.


"Galuh Cendana came to pay homage to Prabu's Father!" Empress Galuh Cendana said while kneeling and resting under the throne of the Prabu Rakai Galuh.


"My daughter!" Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh immediately came down from his chair and then led his daughter to rise immediately.


"What about your situation? You must have suffered so much, my daughter?!" Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh said with tears that began to be powerless to be dammed again.


"Ananda's fine, Prabu's father. Ananda was grateful that there were still Sri Kemuning royal courtiers who were very loyal and willing to bet their lives for the safety of ananda. Therefore it is also what makes ananda able to survive so that now the almighty God brings us back together," replied the empress Galuh Cendana who also cried.


The novelty of the atmosphere inevitably makes everything in the room of the Sema regal Hall come to shed tears.


They can imagine how severe the suffering of a woman who is not accustomed to living is hard to accept the fact that her throne has been usurped.


Not just power. Even her husband's life was also taken by the rebels who destroyed the glory of a kingdom that was once very safe, peaceful, and prosperous.


As if it did not stop there, this woman even had to lose her son who fell into the abyss due to the actions of the soldiers who were ordered to chase.


It was this calamity for the sake of calamity that made them have to lift their hats on the level of fortitude possessed by Empress Galuh Cendana.
