GALIH AYU (The General)
suffering that sprung up

when Aum reached the place where the source of the sound was he was more and more convinced that his premonition was not wrong.The pregnant woman looked pale with arms drenched in blood. His eldest brother and the prince of panji were already there first. Prince Panji looks panicked, seeing the wife and mother-to-be of their child look helpless.

' jeez Prince Madam was injured by the dart of the princess seroja ' the sound of the lady carrying the lady.

Aum looked over at the wound on the woman's arm earlier,

a large scratch wound seemed to be hit by an arrow that scratched the side of his arm. Aum closed his eyes in annoyance, he should have found out first where the woman was so that her arrows did not target people like this. but he was sure that his arrow did not slide straight but swooped down from above, but the wound on the woman's arm was as if the direction of the arrow was sliding straight quickly. Aum smelled the stench of rottenness from the two women playing in front of him, but Aum could only keep quiet, he could not prove what was on his mind at the moment.

' we discuss that later, quickly bring madam tyas to the padepokan. Our healers are as great as the palace healers' voice Adhi mediates the tense atmosphere.

everyone dispersed after the victim was taken to the store, Aum still standing in the same place. Graha downcast felt guilty, his master got into trouble because he did not thoroughly examine the circumstances around.

' my daughter,.. '

' take me to the dormitory to change clothes ' Aum does not wait for Graha to speak again, he precedes Go to the dorm.

this problem must be prolonged, Aum can only sigh tired.the sun slowly descends to the contest, the atmosphere in the city becomes very gripping as ya Aum guess. what else the soldiers of the law minister are everywhere, Aum is not allowed to return to his residence.When Aum is detained in the chairman's room padepokan, he said, his second brother's room is now at the border.

' your princess wants a glass of tea ?' Graha came in and tried to make her employer comfortable.

' than that how is the development of the investigation, then is madam tyas already aware ?' ask Aum.

' madam Tyas is aware of the princess, they are interrogating several witnesses Graha explained.

Aum sighed in annoyance, his heart felt heavy.what more trouble he had to face this time.

' the vice minister of law asked the princess's permission to enter ' the voice of the soldier guarding the door broke into silence.

' please' Graha replied after meeting his employer, as if asking for permission.

a middle-aged man entered the room with several attendants accompanying him. Aum had met him when Aum used to follow his father. Mr. hyoko who has recently been appointed as vice minister of law.

' have not met the princess seroja' greeting master hyoko politely.

after asking permission to sit down we faced a serious face. Mr. Hyoko became very tense, Aum knew he had been under pressure from many sides.

' my daughter expects you to answer all my questions in accordance with the reality you are experiencing. This will make it easier for us and prevent you from excessive punishment ' said Mr. Hyoko.

Aum just nodded for sure, he would not hide a single shred of things that he did today.

' now let's listen to the chronology from your side first ' said Mr. Hyoko firmly.

...****************...

the night quickly dawns, Aum is still locked inside the room with Mr. hyoko investigating him who is now the prime suspect. Aum's face was exhausted, there were many questions that were thrown all conflicting between witnesses, victims and suspects.

Mr. Hyoko who has been in the examination world like this also looks complicated.everyone involved in this case is of high status. Moreover, the princess seroja who was a war hero some time ago did not have a motive to injure her mistress the prince of the banner, but the evidence and witnesses all point to Princess Seroja convincingly.

' Again I ask the princess, how do you explain the arrows we found at the scene ? ' asked Mr. Hyoko firmly.

Aum breathed heavily, he was already quite exhausted.it was not**** to eat even a little bit this afternoon, making him lose the energy to continue the debate.

' I practiced as usual, in the usual place without changing position.I shot an arrow from a distance of more than 1000 feet so the direction of the arrow did not slide straight but swooped from above. and my arrow targets moving ' said Aum again.

Mr. Hyoko knows very well what is explained by the daughter of Seroja, he is also quite capable of using weapons so he understands.

' why do I hurt Madame Tyas, if the matter of Prince Panji is the most embarrassing thing for a soldier like me, you know very well it' explained princess Seroja with a huff.

' well princess, I will end this for today. but if there is anything else I ask you are required to follow my court ' said mr. hyoko.

...****************...

in the carriage that walked in silence still filled the narrow space containing the two people.

' why did you do that ?' adhi's voice broke the silence.

Aum raised his head to look directly at the older brother.

' do what ? ' asked Aum did not accept, the tone used was sharper and rose.

' of all the humans at the scene brother is the only person I would expect on my side ' said Aum riled, exhausted and his pale face illustrating how much he tried earlier.

' it turns out I was expecting too much ' murmured Aum.

Adhi stared intently at his sister he looked confused to hear the words of his sister but on the other hand all the evidence led to a conclusion that the suspect in this incident was his sister.

' let me down! ' yelled Aum from inside the car.

Adhi who heard him smirked agreed.

' where are you going, don't make trouble ' he said flatly.

Aum smiled wryly, the brother he was so proud of that brother who would definitely believe in his sister had become a regular today for Aum.

' I don't want to sit in a carriage that contains people who suspect me ' replied Aum ketus, pulled the arm that his brother was holding and climbed down from the carriage.

Aum jumped up on the horse that was riding Graha. as if he knew what he wanted his daughter Graha Ndoro immediately spur his mount to walk, so that it would quickly arrive at the residence.

not until suddenly the horse they ride raised his legs high, if Graha did not swiftly calm the horse we both might have been thrown.

in front of us turned out to be a train carriage with the emblem of the residence of the prince panji.from inside the train came out Prince Panji who was no less shabby than Aum.

' come down we need to talk ' said Panji weakly, many thoughts that wander filled his mind.

' The princess is being unwell, it might be better not now Prince' explained Graha.

even though Aum was there, he refused to greet the husband of the woman who tried to trap him.

' Do you think Tyas set you up ?' ask the Banner without further ado.

' what does a pregnant woman endanger life in her stomach by trapping you, does that make sense ?' the sound of the banner slightly shaking revealed that possibility.

' then what benefit do I get for harming her ?' aum replied no less stubborn. Aum who had never thought of dealing with the cunning woman felt cheated.

' don't you know for yourself what I mean ' replied Panji.he looked at Aum with a face of disbelief.

' don't hold yourself up too high, I have nothing to want to be with you since 2 years ago.it hurt my self-esteem ' Aum replied in annoyance.

he knew about the unfounded rumors that were spreading throughout the city, but he just let it go because it was all made by a certain person, and he did not bother, he said, but it turns out that rumors make the situation now more complicated.

' listen to my noble prince pennant, you are no longer valuable in my heart and eyes' explained Aum full of emphasis.

' as a soldier who has been sworn and met death many times something like this is an insult ' .

without listening again Aum ordered Graha to move his horse past Prince Panji. Aum today does not care about politeness anymore, the cruel man in front of him is only pretending to love me but only taking sides in his eyes in the right angle.

Aum swore he would never forget the way they welcomed me at this time...
