This work aims to retell an unrecorded history about a prince from the VII Sultanate era of Yogyakarta. The prince lives with a rebellious attitude. He decided to abdicate to defend his people from colonialism and royal politics. This triptych image is an illustration of his final days as a prince. He escaped from the kingdom and meditated at the shore for three days. It was his way to surrender. After that day, he was removed from the prince position and imprisoned in his compound. He was punished with the “Kurantil'' policy.
