AYU MBOK
The secret of Prince Satria

"You'd better have your useless Grand Princes back out of this test, before you bear the shame that they'll get the lowest grade!"The Queen Mother's Ejek to the Queen in front of the other concubines.

"Let's see, I'm sorry if one of my sons will be elected, don't be surprised, Your Majesty!"Answer the Queen with ease.

He never kept silent and always retaliated when anyone humbled his son.

"You don't need to worry Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I'll make sure that if the Duma prince is the one who will be chosen as the crown prince's study companion, he is more worthy of that position!"Consort Dewi Sinta said with her confidence that was always high.

"But Prince Arjuna is always superior in any case, Servant is sure my Son will be chosen!"Said the 3rd level concubine, Nyai Roro, with her gentle and innocent attitude, she was always flippant in speaking.

"Your dream!you don't realize who you really are! although Prince Arjuna has always been more powerful in any case than any other prince!but since she was born from a lowly mother like you, she still isn't who!"Ejek Concubine Dewi Sinta with her cynical.

"Ah, that's it! whoever is elected, they remain His sons too, I invite you to tea in my palace, talking about the crown prince's welcome feast!"Kanjeng Ratu tried to interrupt the tense atmosphere about the fierce competition between the Mothers of the princes.

"Of course, Your Majesty!You will be present at the Queen's palace!"Responded Consort Maharani and concubine Nyai Roro, while Consort Dewi Sinta rejected the invitation.

"Please your honor!I already have an appointment with Grand Empress Dowager, she invited me to have tea together this afternoon!"Answer her while passing by.

...----------------...

"Who is the new waiter?I think there's something strange about him!he does not look like from the Javanese tribe, his gestures are very suspicious, immediately watch him and find out his origins!"Said the Queen Mother to the courtier who faithfully served her.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Servant also felt there was something strange with the girl, she did not look similar to the head of Abdi dalem Pakde Karwo, even her dialect was also more similar than the Sundanese tribe!"Kanjeng added Consort Dewi Sinta, he was very disturbed by the presence of Neneng in the palace of the princes, besides he was able to keep the prince Gunta, and he was very disturbed,he was also able to correct the bad character of the Grand Princes and it was very dangerous for the position of the Duma princes who had been prepared to occupy the crown prince's throne and seize the position of the Tirtayasa princes who were trying to eliminate them.

For that Consort Dewi Sinta continues to heat up the Queen Mother's manation and report the unsettled Neneng.

It has become a tradition in the royal environment, it is not allowed to hire a servant from another tribe other than one group that is Javanese, the intention is to keep the pure descendants of the Javanese themselves, moreover, a palace servant is owned by the King, the King or princes are usually allowed to choose a maid to be one of his concubines.

And they assume that if the Javanese and Sundanese people get married then it will only cause misery for their kingdom, they will never be happy and will always be hit by misfortune.

This afternoon Neneng had to accompany Prince Gunta who was tutoring foreign languages at his residence, Consort Maharani deliberately hired an expert teacher, especially because Prince Gunta was less fluent in foreign languages,he does not want Prince Gunta to get low marks during the exam later.

At a glance Neneng saw a figure sneaking into the abandoned special room behind the palace of the princes.

He walked following the figure silently, getting closer and it turned out that the figure was the prince of Satria, who knew what he was going to do in the room, though the room looks unkempt and has begun to decay.

Neneng peeked out of the cat hole of the room, and it turned out that prince Satria was smoking.

Neneng thought why would prince Satria have to hide like that, were the princes forbidden to smoke?

It must be a royal rule like that, because the princes are required to always look perfect in front of everyone.

"Bugh!Aww!"

Prince Satria suddenly opened the door of the room and made Neneng fall into the room.

"Are you also a scout?"

He said ferociously, he turned off the cigarette he just lit and stepped on it.

"Not really!I just happened to pass by and see you're sloshing a precipitate in here!"Answer

Neneng.

"Are the princes forbidden to smoke?!I think you're old enough to smoke!"Neneng said plainly.

"I wonder where you came from the chatty waitress! if you are disguised as a servant from the land of Java, you must learn more about Javanese customs, culture and language again correctly!You don't even look at all like Javanese women in general!Know it? The palace does not allow women from other tribes to work in this palace, you will be hanged if caught!"Prince Satria said while pulling Neneng's chin up to look up and face to face with his face. It seems like prince Satria is scaring Nakuti Neneng for fear of Neneng leaking his secret.

"I don't know what would happen if the whole palace knew that the prince they were proud of was a smoker, even Her Majesty the Queen will be expelled from the palace because it will be considered a failure to raise a prince!"Reply Neneng so confident, without fear he looked back into the eyes of prince Satria while glaring.

He just wanted to talk.

"Do you want to die?!I'll kill you if you leak what you know about me!"Prince Satria was getting angry, he pushed Neneng's body and squeezed her on the wall, the small-bodied Neneng was unable to fight her.

But he remained calm, casually he tried to negotiate.

"Well, I'll keep your secret meeting Your Majesty, but of course nothing is free!"Neneng began to open his first bid.

"Are you trying to blackmail me!?"

Prince Satria does not want to be defeated only by a lowly courtier like Neneng.

He drew closer to Neneng's face, their noses touched gently, their breath roaring at each other sounded so tense.

Neneng turned his face to the side, trying to avoid the face of the Prince whose aroma was very tempting faith.

Neneng violently stomped on the feet of Prince Satria until he felt a lot of pain and held his legs.

"Aw Aw Aw! you crazy waiter!"Took him while enduring the pain in his legs.

"Suttt!Do you want to be caught?!"neneng reminded him.

"You just need to spend some money shut up, and everything is safe in my hands!"Without shame Neneng asked the prince for some money.

I don't know since when he turned into such a materialistic woman, which obviously he wanted to immediately raise a lot of money to help his sister, Indra in Bandung there.

"Basar woman Matre!You dare blackmail a prince?! even bribes are forbidden in my kingdom, fool!"Prince Satria still does not want to give up.

"As much as you are noble, even gossip will easily spread without me telling others by word of mouth!"The threat of Neneng is becoming.

"It should be enough to keep your rhombus' mouth shut!"Because of his annoyance, the prince of Satria took out 2 pieces of red money from his wallet and thrust towards Neneng.

"I cannot guarantee Your Majesty!That money is enough for what!?"

Neneng was becoming less and less self-aware.

Prince Satria again spent the money until it increased to five hundred thousand pieces.

"Well, this is broken!from there on out cake for money! very stingy! Thank you, Your Majesty!please withdraw!"Soon Neneng died in the room happily, he slipped the bribe so as not to be discovered, it was easy to get money in this palace, he also slipped money, if this continues, he will soon return to his hometown.

"Damn! why can I get involved with a crazy waitress like her! I even want to follow his wishes!Akh! damn it!"Prince Satria seems annoyed because his secret was discovered by someone.

Neneng walked towards the place where Prince Gunta was tutoring languages, he passed through some special places like his very closed and rarely passed by people.

There was a half-snorting voice talking.

Neneng approached her slowly, it was not clear who they were and what they were doing behind the place.

"We must prepare plan B, if Plan A does not succeed in eliminating the crown prince, we immediately do plan B, we must act quickly before the guards arrive at the airport tomorrow!"Said one of them.

It's grim! they are plotting a rebellion by killing the crown prince!

Neneng covered her mouth with her own hands for fear of being caught eavesdropping on their plans.
