The Fighter
Chapter 297 Standby
Maharani fell silent to the words spoken by Rengganis. Although it sounded that the young woman did not blame what she had done, but Maharani became guilty. By fighting with the people of Logandeng kingdom, it is the same if the existence of Mount Jambu college violates the agreement that has been understood together for decades. But there is nothing more to do, because it has all happened.
"What will we do next Nimas..?" in embarrassment, Maharani asked Rengganis. However, Rengganis was the first wife of Wisanggeni. So that whatever will be done by him in this college, must be the knowledge and permission of the Rengganis.
"We give protection to those people. If the border area is still a scary place for them, we can evacuate them to the inner region of the college. Our college food supplies are still plenty, to provide them with temporary food aid." firmly, Renggani responded to the question that Maharani had spoken. Parvati's mother smiled, apparently her concern for the Rengganis was not proven.
"Well, Nimas. I will direct those people, and add our men just in case at the boundary. I'm afraid the people from Logandeng kingdom will be sent to our college, because they can sue us." after saying goodbye, Maharani immediately returned to leave Rengganis and Parvati. The woman walked inside to give directions to the guards, as well as to the refugees.
"We have to go back to the inner college of Parvati.., this place is not suitable for children your age." while looking at the beautiful face of Parvati, Rengganis invites the little boy to return to the padhepokan.
The little boy nodded his head, and with a single leap, the Rengganis had already left the place holding Parvati.

At night, after Parvati sleeps, Rengganis gathers several people who are in college to be invited to chat together. Breaking the deal that has been done by the Maharani, it is believed that the Rengganis will cause quite a strange problem. For this reason, Rengganis wants to prepare everything to be more controlled, by talking about the problem with people he considers important in college. While the Maharani decided to keep watch and stay at the boundary, in anticipation of the worst possibility that would befall their college.
"That's how uncle.., I was worried that what Nimas Maharani had done would cause chaos afterwards. For that I ask all of you to gather in this place, to prepare yourself if a fight with the people of Logandeng kingdom will occur." Rengganis immediately conveyed the problems that exist in the border area of the college.
"Actually we have also heard about Den Ayu, because quickly this news spread into the inner college. In accordance with the instructions given by Nimas Rengganis, I will immediately inform and prepare our chosen people to be on guard. Some had also been on guard and prepared outside the school since Den Ayu.." the older man, responding to the words of the Rengganis.
"Thank you uncle for your preparedness. We cannot unilaterally blame Nimas Maharani. I understood his feelings, and even if I was on that boundary myself, I would do the same. For that, immediately prepare everything, including preparing our hiding place for women and children. We have to be prepared and watch for the worst" said Rengganis in a stern tone.
"Okay Den Ayu.., we will immediately carry out the decree Den Ayu. Uncle's permission to return, and prepare everything." the man immediately resigned himself by being followed by the other people behind him.
"Ijin facing Den Ayu.., there is a sasmita of what Den Ayu will give us.." accompanied by two colleagues, Mbok Emban facing Rengganis, the,
"Look, I'm sure you've heard this news and everyone has heard it. News of the threat of a retaliatory attack on our college. That's why I called you here Mbok.." Rengganis took a breath, then said to the middle-aged woman.
"Yes Den Ayu.., we've heard the news. We are ready to obey the orders given by Den Ayu Rengganis." mbok Emban immediately conveyed his readiness to accept all the tasks that will be given to him.
"Thank you Mbok.., I will leave Parvati temporarily to Mbok Emban. Take good care of the child, and if anything happens to this college, save them immediately. Invite the child to evacuate along with others in the basement under the south hill." Mbok Emban and his two colleagues looked at the young woman with astonished looks. They admired Rengganis, who treated the Maharani princess like his own daughter. It is not uncommon to find the attitude of an old wife in the son or daughter of her husband's young wife so good.
"Don't ask too many questions. Tonight, I will follow Nimas Maharani on the border. I can't just sit around waiting for news from him. We get the mandate from kang Wisanggeni to maintain this college together. I will not let Nimas Maharani carry this burden alone." seeing the curiosity of the three women in front of him, in a firm tone, Rengganis gave understanding to the three, and the three of them were,
"Alright Den Ayu.., the three of us will take care of Den Ayu Parvati. If a warning is heard, we will immediately take the child and the other children to the hiding place. Please allow us to prepare." seeing the determination and decisiveness of the Rengganis, finally the three women responded to the request given by the Rengganis. The three immediately left Rengganis on their own.
From this young female pendhopo headed to the room where Parvati was resting. With a sense of haru, Rengganis rubbed the little girl's head and forehead slowly. After looking at it for a while, Rengganis lowered his face to give a kiss to the little girl's forehead.
"Mother will leave you for a while my daughter. Take care of yourself.., mother promises to be back to see you." whispered Rengganis lirih. Slowly after expressing his feelings to the little boy, Rengganis immediately came out from inside Parvati's room.
Without speaking, Rengganis went into the room where he rested and also the special room Wisanggeni. The woman secures some things to the secret place of the college, just in case something happens that she does not want. After making sure all the goods are stored properly, Rengganis back out from inside the padhepokan. The young woman took out an heirloom scarf from Wisanggeni's mother, and at once used it to leave the place.
