Prince Without Crown
Chapter 73
That night, after releasing the departure of Sadewa along with some of his subordinate soldiers to spy on the situation in the Karang Kencana duchy, Prince Indra Mahesa did not immediately return to the palace.
He now walks alone through illuminated houses with lamps made from castor seeds.
Some food stalls in some inns look crowded at visited by people who come from several regions. However, it is certain that most of them are refugees who have little money and stop just to fill their stomachs.
Indeed, since the last few years, Galuh kingdom is often visited by refugees. And most of them are from the Kingdom of Sri Kemuning. However, for one full moon lately, the refugees are not only from Sri Kemuning anymore. But also from the kingdom of Setra Kencana which has just collapsed due to the act of Jaya Pradana.
Dressed in swordsman-style clothes, Prince Indra Mahesa seemed to move freely. This he deliberately did to be closer to his people without any sense of hesitation because of the level of caste between them.
"Please stop by Den!" Invite the owner of the stall when Prince Indra Mahesa passes one of the stalls that looks still quite crowded visitors.
"Okay sir," said Prince Indra and immediately set his foot toward the entrance of the shop.
"Would you drink Den?" Ask the owner politely and kindly.
"Jewish sword sir!" Answer Prince Indra.
"Attention to Den. Bak make!" Said the owner of the shop.
Now, Prince Indra Mahesa began to sit leaning against the half wall that became the barrier between the stall and the outside of the stall.
"It seems that these people are not of the ordinary people. These people must be from the jungle of martial arts" Prince Indra Mahesa said in his heart.
As one of the many people from the jungle persilatan, even had to mingle with them when in the teak padepokan Anom, know Prince Indra judge that they are good from clothes, they are good from clothes, the language and its practices are from the martial world.
"It's a shame Bayu Gatra's brother did not come. If he were here, he would easily recognize people from this jungle" he said.
Indeed, Bayu Gatra was one of the oldest disciples in the teak padepokan Anom. It is known that he also often went down the mountain to carry out the tasks given by the Sword God to him. This is a little bit of sharpening the ability of Bayu Gatra in the jungle that is famous for its jungle law.
The reverie of Prince Indra Mahesa suddenly collapsed when from the inside it appeared that the old man who owned the stall had come to serve the order of the young man who was replied with a smile by the prince of Indra.
"Please, Den!" The owner of the shop said.
"Thank you Sir. Oh yes sir, where did this shop visitor come from? Do you know anything about them?" Ask Prince Indra.
"Oh. These are people from the jungle, Den. Reportedly, they came here because they were interested in the news of the attack that would be carried out by Jaya Pradana against the kingdom of Galuh. These are people from this village who also studied in various places. They deliberately returned because they wanted to participate in defending their homeland. This is even more because of the spread of news that the crown prince of the kingdom of Sri Kemuning has also joined with the soldiers of this kingdom of Galuh. This is what caught their attention. Because, it is said that Gusti Prince grandson of Gusti Prabu Rakai Galuh is a student of a pair of top Kosen warriors who attacked his football can no doubt in the martial world," the owner of the shop explained.
"Gee. Very quickly news of this wind blew. I had just set foot in this city of the king of Galuh kingdom, one day" Prince Indra Mahesa thought to himself.
