KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
The Keraton Agung Sejagat (7)

Night changed in the morning, the sun showed its shape from the east with yellow strokes that spoil the eyes. The Manah Valley had been preparing since the eastern sky was slightly reddened. In contrast to Wulan, and Araka's entourage, it seems that they are still asleep in their sleep due to fatigue.

“Good morning Princess!” exclaimed the Manah Valley which only answered Wulan's smile shortly after waking up from his sleep.

Wulan smiled widened his eyes, in front of him was presented a large-sized grilled rabbit. In fact, the entire night of the Manah Valley did not even close his eyes, the young man was on guard if the possibility of Bagiri and Bandini reinforcements came ambushing them.

And when the eastern sky was slightly bright, the Manah Valley hunted rabbits with the spear it had made yesterday. While the Araka entourage also began to wake up from its deep sleep, the state of the Three Flower Brothers was also better after absorbing the body forging extract they had.

Sekar was a little moody when he saw the proximity of Manah Valley and Wulan. And it is known by Kenanga who is very skilled in love.

“As long as the yellow janur hasn't curved, she doesn't belong to anyone!” lirih Kenanga in Sekar's ear and was only greeted with a smile by the daughter of the Thousand Dew Village Chief.

The journey continued, they moved down the expanse of grassland and found a forest of people planted with one type of tree only. Wulan moved to lighten his body, moving by utilizing a large tree branch as a foothold.

While the Valley of Manah and the Araka entourage followed behind Wulan, with a distance of no more than ten steps.

By late afternoon, they had reached the northern coast of the village and were about to find the Bemini Pier. Seen some fishermen are pulling over and leaning their boats.

Not far from the fishermen's boat, Manah Valley saw the pier which he thought was the pier they were looking for. Sure enough, after walking for about a kilometer they had reached the Bemini Pier.

However, they did not find fishermen who were fishing in the afternoon. Possibly tomorrow morning, they just got a boat that drove residents to Menjangan Island.

“Again we have to spend the night, Mr Princess!” exclaiming Manah Valley sighed softly.

“Alright! That is not a problem, while waiting for the group of Patih Ragas to come, we spend the night on this beach!” sahut Wulan smiled.

“How about you, Araka?” The Valley of Manah turned to the Araka entourage and felt doubt on the part of Araka.

“We're coming with you. Think of you as the leader of this group!” sahut Araka who was greeted with a smile Sekar and the Three Flowers Brothers.

Until late in the night, they spent the night by the beach, considering the settlements of residents located far from each other. After all, if the group of Patih Ragas pass through this place, it will certainly meet with the seven of them.

The night was getting late, Wulan was sleeping under a sea fir tree with dry leaves and twigs. The Manah Valley was still silent in front of the still burning fireplace.

The young man deliberately made the fireplace slightly away from the beach, so that it would not be seen if there were black flow soldiers patrolling.

Without any wind, without any rain, Sekar suddenly hugged the Manah Valley from behind, for some reason Sekar recklessly did that. It is possible that Sekar held back the longing with the Manah Valley, because long time did not meet the young man.

And tonight, is Sekar's chance to release his longing to the Valley of Manah. Given the entire journey from the expanse of grasslands, to the northern coast, the Manah Valley is always approached by Wulan.

“Hei! What are you doing, Sekar!” kilah Manah Valley tried to release the two hands of Sekar who hugged him. “Later they wake up!”

“Let them wake up, all they know that I'm hugging you!” sahut Sekar while smiling. “I miss you, Valley!”

Sekar let go of his hand and sat down beside the Manah Valley. Sekar told a lot of stories to the Manah Valley about many young people who liked it. According to him, the young men who were chasing him would only play tricks on him, with no one serious about establishing a relationship.

“Emm, what is it, Sekar?” sahut Valley of Manah frowned. “What might they be less handsome, or the science of canuragannya less high. Ahh, I know, um, maybe they are not noble children like you, Sekar!”

“Not!” sekar answered, drawing his face closer to the face of the Manah Valley who again noticed the fireplace. “The reason is you, Valley!”

After saying so, Sekar pressed his lips against the cheek of the Manah Valley and passed leaving the young man in front of the fireplace. She spread her body beside the Three Flower Brothers.

The Manah Valley was just silently glued, widening its eyes, then swallowing its own saliva. He rubbed his left cheek with his left hand, and turned towards Sekar who was directly lying down with the Three Flower Brothers.

“Maybe Just kidding!” the young man smashed his body in front of the fireplace with the dry grass he had made.

The eastern sky was starting to light up a little, which signified the early morning. All night, no movement from the enemy or anything suspicious. The Manah Valley also remained awake, only sleeping for a few moments the young man woke up to the sound of night beasts.

This morning, they had breakfast with grilled sea fish, a catch of the Manah Valley with its spear. Like yesterday morning, Wulan opened her eyes shortly after the sun shone on her face.

“Good morning Princess!” exclaim Manah Valley smile.

On the other hand, Sekar noticed the Manah Valley was filled with jealousy. The Valley of Manah treated Wulan very well, and it made Sekar even more amazed towards the young man.

“Just deserve to linger! Apparently there is a Princess!”

Shouted someone behind the Manah Valley who was none other than Wanapati. Yes, the young man came with Jayadipa, Nata and Patih Ragas along with three subordinates, and another one of the fishermen they hired to drive across.

Manah Valley could not speak if there was already Wanapati in front of him.

“Ja—don't Wanapati!” exclaim Manah Valley saw the fish caught by the group Wanapati.

“Hmm, very good. Don't you want to eat Valley?” sahut Wanapati enjoy grilled fish in front of the fireplace that only leaves the mouth alone.

Manah Valley just shook his head to see the behavior of one of his friends. Wulan grabbed two pieces and approached the Valley of Manah, the princess gave one more piece to the Valley of Manah.

Fortunately the young man got a catch that is not small, so it is enough to fill the stomach before heading to Menjangan Island.

“Why just the three of you. Where's the other friend?” the Manah Valley.

“Begin Valley—!”

Wanapati recounted that the college students were divided into several teams containing three to four people.

Wanapati, Jayadipa and Nata are assigned to accompany Patih Ragas. While other students, some moved to the south coast and some moved to the east coast, to suppress the movement of members of the Great Sejagat Palace.

“So so!” sahut Valley Manah scratched his neck.
