Save The King

Adityawarman's question was not asked to whom, but his eyes were on Mada.

"Erm. We'd better take him to a secluded place.

It's like a small hamlet, but its inhabitants are loyal to the palace."

"There are three hamlets that meet the requirements. hamlet Paluh, Badander Hamlet and Ngalo Hamlet," said Sorta.

"Just go to the hamlet of Badander," said Anarjaya. "I know head of the hamlet. Pu Tomang. He is very loyal to Majapahit. The location of the hamlet is remote, in the middle of a forest, hidden in a valley. So it's pretty safe. The enemy certainly would not have thought that the king would take refuge in a remote place like the Hamlet of Badander. I, Senopati Mada, Senopati Mahisa Kedora together with all members of the Tiger Team will accompany Your Majesty to Badander hamlet. Senopati Mapanji Pamattu and Senopati Sorta along with all the Bhayangkara members and the palace troops escorted the fake Majesty to Kebo Temple."

"Yes, Ingsun agreed. Troops to Kebo Temple must accompanied by a royal chariot, as well as royal banners. Ingsun agreed to go to Badander Hamlet with Tumenggung, Mada and Mahisa Kedora. Is there anything else you would like to say, Mada?"

Bagas coughed. When Jayanagara spoke, literally Mada spontaneously looked at the king. Unintentional spontaneous stare. He quickly looked away but that was enough for the king.

"Forgive your majesty, we are going to the Hamlet of Badander independently quietly. So, I beg your pardon, I think it would be better for you to take off all oversized clothes, which could give an indication that you are from the nobility of the palace. Please pardon, sire."

"Hmmm. You're right, Senopati Mada. Ingsun wants evacuate. And it means nothing if Ingsun stays known as the King of Majapahit."

Jayanagara immediately took off the golden crown he was wearing. Also took off the crimson colored clothes she was wearing. Opening the king's oversized necklace, as well as the oversized bracelet on the arm near the shoulder and wrist. He also took off the beautiful patterned outer cloth he was wearing, leaving only the cloth on the inside. He also opened a gold bracelet on the ankle. All of these items were handed over to Adityawarman.

"Keep it in a safe place. Ingsun will take it when he comes back."

Adityawarman nodded, took all the stuff and made a kind of bundle and hugged it.

"We have a place that provides the clothes your Majesty needs," said Anarjaya. "We parted ways here..."

They arrived at an intersection. You can see the aisle to the left and to the right.

Anarjaya opened the gun cabinet and took it a dagger. He motioned for Bagas to do the same.

Bagas shook his head. "I already have a dagger. I just wear this one," Bagas said, showing Mada's dagger which had been placed on his back waist.

Anarjaya nodded knowingly. "But you have to open the ring. Put it here, you can pick it up later when the situation is safe."

All around, people started scattering. They apparently attracted by the hubbub that occurred in the palace.

The screams of children split the afternoon.

"We'd better hurry. We ride horses," said Tumenggung Anarjaya. Behind the house is a stable containing dozens of horses.

Unsuspected, the small group left pull over the secret bridge that crosses the canal.

They rode up to a hill. Anarjaya signaled for them to stop. He then pointed towards the south.

Looks like a long procession. There are cavalry who escorted the three royal carriages. Banners the greatness of Majapahit red and white is visible.

Bagas's heart was trembling. Seeing the red and white banners, his memory drifted back to his time. When the Red and White also became the identity of the nation.

In the sky, the Sun began to creep next to the bird that was flying back to the nest.

The group sped like giant snakes crawling through the forest. Hasty grand retinue. Dozens of warriors rode on horseback in front, accompanying the three royal carriages. Dozens of other soldiers accompanied the carriage and others behind. The red and white royal banners look lively.

The troops were moving towards Kebo Temple, the location of the refuge of the King of Majapahit if something happens that threatens safety. The three royal chariots were to outwit the opponent. The opposing party, or the enemy who will attack does not know where Your Majesty is.

Is it on the front train, in the middle or the most behind.

Only Senopati Mapanji Pamattu, Senopati Sorta and Tumenggung Jattilan, the leader of the Danur Malagha troop who knows that the Majesty is not on the heavily guarded train.

The figure wearing royal attire as well as the crown inside the carriage was just a substitute.

A figure pretending to be a king. Meanwhile, the original king, Jayanagara, was evacuated to another place.
