Because of Fried Duck

The royal concubine of former King "Ken Umang" found the palace is so quiet. She asked her court lady what happened in the palace. Then her court lady said that all people went to Kutaraja Square to see Archery Match between King and Queen.

"Where is Toh Jaya, is he come here today?" asked Ken Umang.

"He is not coming yet, maybe he is also going to Kutaraja Square".

"Please send someone to meet him, and ask him to come to the palace", ordered Ken Umang.

"Yes, your highness"

In Kutaraja Square, everyone who was watching the match was cheering for the king and queen. There are 2 supporter teams, the king team, and the queen team. The match becomes even more exciting because the score of the king and queen is balanced. The two of them still hadn't given up. Finally, there was one arrow of the king that missed, while the rest of their arrows were only 10 more arrows.

No arrow that shot by Queen is missed, so the match is won by the Queen. The queen jumped for joy and then Bagaskara announced the queen's victory.

"The winner of today's match is our queen, please say congratulation to our queen", said Bagaskara.

Everyone say congratulation to the queen and give her applause.

"Because I won this match, I will give all people here some food", said Tania.

Then Tania asked Ratri to give Nasi Padang with rendang to all people there. Everyone say Thank the queen and they looked happy. King Anusapati smiles, he has appreciated the queen who cares for his people. Tania is like the real queen now.

"I can't believe it, you had prepared your victory". said the king.

"Haha... I know you are weak on archery, so I was confident to win this match". said Tania.

The king was not weak, but he deliberately gave in because he wanted to please his wife. King Anusapati is a dream husband in the world.

King and Queen are preparing back to the palace. But Prince Toh Jaya called the queen.

"Her Majesty"

"Hei, Toh Jaya,," said the queen.

"Because you won today, this is a small gift for you", said prince Toh Jaya.

"What is this", asked Tania.

"Fried duck that we had yesterday", said the prince.

"Wah thank you".

King Anusapati took the queen's hand, then take her to go. Prince Toh Jaya just silent and clenched his right fist.

When the king arrived in the palace, He looked angry. Then He called Bagaskara and says:

"Close all restaurants which sell fried duck in Kutaraja, this is king order!"

"Yes your majesty".

King Anusapati still Angry, but Prince Mahisa came to cheer him up.

Prince Toh Jaya has arrived at his home. Someone from the palace has waited for him, the man said that Ken Umang ask to meet him. Because it was already night, he said that he will come to the palace tomorrow morning.

On the next day, before Prince Toh Jaya come to the palace, he went to the restaurant to buy a fried duck for the queen, but the restaurant has closed. He wonders why the restaurant is closed, then someone told him that the king ordered to close all restaurant which sells fried duck.

"Huh, the childish king", said Prince Toh Jaya.

In the Palace, The King sits on the throne, then he leads a meeting. Some officials report the conditions in Kutaraja. Last night there was a robbery in a noble house in Kutaraja. Several people were killed, the royal army had been deployed but had not succeeded in catching the robber.

The king ordered to close the border between the Kutaraja and other areas to prevent the robbers from escaping. And he asked the entire royal army to tighten control of the robber.

Prince Toh Jaya just arrived in the palace, he saw the queen dancing in the palace garden. Then he met her.

"Your majesty, your dance is really beautiful"

"Ah,, Toh Jaya, you again. how's it going?" asked Tania.

"I wanted to buy fried duck again for you, but all restaurants which sell it had closed".

"Really? what happened?" asked Tania.

"The king ordered to close it" answered the prince.

"Ah Anusapati,, eat too many fried ducks is not good for our health but he doesn't need to close the restaurant. I will talk to him", said Tania.

After that Prince Toh Jaya goes to his mother's room. Prince Mahisa hiding behind a tree saw Prince Toh Jaya who had just met the queen.

"Huh,, playboy,, I will tell my brother!" said Prince Mahisa.

At Ken Umang's room, she asked Prince Toh Jaya to stop connecting with Prime Minister, she said that the prime minister is not a good person. She wants Prince Toh Jaya to support King Anusapati because he still his elder brother.

"He isn't my half brother, he is the son of Tunggul Ametung, then he killed my father", said Prince Toh Jaya.

"Don't believe with rumor which we don't know it's true or false, my son". Said Ken Umang.

Prince Toh Jaya was angry, then he left his mother's room. The court lady of Ken Umang told her that last night, there was a robbery of a noble house in Kutaraja. Several people were killed. Her court lady thought that was planned by the prime minister and her son. Ken Umang shed tears.

In another place, Tania goes to the King's room with Ratri. But King Anusapati still busy with his task. He focuses on reading some reports.

"Anusapati, I am here" said Tania.

But King didn't hear that Tania called him. Then Tania entered the King's room.

"Hei,, Anusapati", said Tania.

"Eh, My queen, are you here for a long time?" asked the King.

"Ok I want to the point, I came here because I have a request"

"What is your request?" asked the King.

Then Tania said that she wanted King Anusapati to permit the restaurant which he ordered to close so that they could sell it again. Because the seller needs money for their life.

"If the request comes from you, I will do it", said the King.

"Thank you Anus, eh I mean your majesty", said Tania.

"Don't need to speak politely with me, I love you with all of your weakness. But I just want you to believe in me, don't believe in any rumors or other man". said The King.

Then King was telling Tania about what happened in the past when his father died. He said that he found his father killed by someone from Batil Village, He was really angry then he kills the man. But after that, someone spread the rumor that the former king was killed by King Anusapati because he isn't a son of the former king. His mother "Ken Dedes" was so tired, she couldn't defend the rumor, then she left the palace and live in a Buddhist monastery.

"Yes, I will try to believe in you", said Tania.

"I pleased to hear that", said the king.
