Prince Without Crown
Trailing Larkin

That morning, after a full night the soldiers made their way to the duchy of Gedangan, it appears that Prince Indra Mahesa gave orders so that his leadership troops immediately stopped on the edge of the forest adjacent to the river and then ordered to set up a makeshift tent in the area.

After arranging everything, Prince Indra also gave each task to several soldiers including Larkin who this time replaced Sadewa to spy on the movement of troops from Paku Bumi.

Larkin who got this task from the Commander-in-Chief of the troops immediately jutted with a face of the sumringah and without further pleasantries immediately jumped on the back of his horse then sprinted his horse riding was headed in the direction it is located in the Duchy of Karang Kencana while accompanied by a suspicious gaze from Prince Indra Mahesa.

After less than a drink of tea, Larkin left, now Prince Indra Mahesa immediately exclaimed. "Five brothers from Banten! Which one of you can follow Larkin and report all his actions to me?" Prince Indra Mahesa asked while staring at the five twin brothers from Banten.

"Hamba, Prince. I could have followed Larkin. What is it, Prince? Sorry if I asked too much,"

"Dries. I need to talk to you. You are also Commander Pratisara!" Prince Indra Mahesa said and immediately stepped away to get away from the soldiers who were resting.

The commander of Pratisara and the eldest brother of the Five brothers from Banten immediately followed to the departure of Prince Indra Mahesa earlier while asking in his heart what this really is.

"You are the eldest of the Five brothers of Banten. What's your name Kisanak?" Ask Prince Indra.

"The original name of the servant is Ujang Wardi. However, the servant is known in the martial world with the title of Pendekar kujang gold," replied the old brother of five brothers from Banten.

"All right, golden warrior. That way. I suspect that this soldier named Larkin is a spy from the enemy. I want to know from you Commander Pratisara. How long has Larkin been a soldier in Galuh?" Prince Indra Mahesa.

"For sure when, I don't know Gusti. However, these Larkins used to be people from the martial jungle as well. He along with his older brother Larso was known as a pair of iron hands from the North. I don't know why they're interested in being soldiers,"

"Hmmm. If he is a traitor, then not only the kingdom of Galuh alone betrayed him. Rather, he had also betrayed his own elder brother, Larso,"

"Actually, what happened to your army? Why don't you know where Larkin was?" Ask the Prince.

"Ampun Gusti's. The situation at that time was really in the fog. Each soldier desperately survives the onslaught of the enemy. Including the servant. Everything in the tripe is over. As for the survivors, then Gusti Prince can see for himself our very sad state. That is why I felt so astonished why this Larkin was not injured in the least. The servant considered, the strength of the inner energy he had was not above the inner energy that I had. It was also able to survive the help and help of Gusti. There is no way this Larkin can survive just like that" said Commander Pratisara.

"If as you said earlier, then the four underlings of Sadewa at this time must be in danger. Doggone. We're too late!" Prince Indra said as he ran towards the army camp to find Senopati Arya Prana.

"Prince.., what's Gusti like being chased by something?" Senopati asked Arya Prana was astonished to see her lord seemed to rush to reveal the tent cover and then approached her.

"This larkin turned out to be a former person from the martial jungle. I'm currently very worried if he's actually a spy. I have to catch up with this guy!" Prince Indra Mahesa said as he slipped a yellowed tumblr keris into the waist.

"Gusti.., is it permissible for me to give advice?" Senopati Arya Prana.

"Can. What advice is that?" Prince Indra Mahesa.

"According to the servant, let him betray. He will soon send word to Jaya Pradana. That way, the thing we have to do is to keep the news from the teak valley. Gusti enough to send people who can be a link between our sign in Sri Kemuning with the teak valley and then to the Duchy of Gedangan. This will be very useful, Gusti!" Senopati Arya Prana.

"Hmm.., I understand what you mean. What I'm worried about right now is, four soldiers under Sadewa. They could have been killed by Larkin later,"

"yes too. But Gusti's presence here is much more important. Gusti couldn't possibly be in every place. Because, however, Gusti was still a human being who could not be in every space at the same time,"

"It's good that this Larkin complained everything to Jaya Pradana. We'll just use their plan. But on one condition! That is, multiply the code as I said before,"

"Do you have any other ideas?" Ask Prince Indra.

"Crack the team into four coriander. The first coriander was led by Gusti himself. The second coriander will be led. The third cilantro will be led by Commander Rangga and Pratisara. The fourth ketumbuk will be led by Duke Rakai sky and Tumenggung Paksi," then they continue to discuss everything they will do in accordance with the plan to trick the other party.

"alright. I will still send someone to prove Larkin's betrayal" Prince Indra Mahesa said, stepping out of the tent.

"Golden mejaer! You brought your four sisters to chase after this Larkin. Observe every move he makes. Avoid meeting him. Don't act alone. It's best that, after you guys manage to find out, report everything to me immediately!" Prince Indra Mahesa said.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prince! The five servants upheld the decree," they said, then immediately mounted their horses, and then immediately piled the horse towards the direction of the departure of Larkin.
