"Do you want to be ungrateful children?" Queen Dyah Pitaloka screamed. Her anger was uncontrollable as she watched her two sons, who no longer respected her at all.Prince Dewalaksana and Prince Bimalaksana heard their mother’s shout, but they kept walking away from the room. Not even a hint of regret stirred in their hearts to apologize to the woman who had given them life.Arya was confused about how to behave. If he showed concern for his mother, his act might be exposed by others, especially the guards stationed at the door.The handsome young man walked toward the door and closed it. Then, he returned to his seat.Dewi, who had been standing, immediately hugged Arya. The little girl looked so frightened seeing the argument between Queen Dyah Pitaloka and her two sons."Why are they acting like that, Mom?" Arya asked, feeling puzzled."Is it because of Dewi, Mom?" Dewi interrupted before Queen Dyah Pitaloka could answer Arya’

Like being struck by lightning, Queen Dyah Pitaloka was half shocked. At that moment, her son had prostrated at her feet. It was something he had always done before going hunting.Still in disbelief that her son’s memory had returned, Queen Dyah Pitaloka bent down and held Arya’s shoulders."Rise!" she said softly, with a maternal tone. She felt her feet wet from the tears flowing from her son’s eyes.Arya stood up and knelt in front of Queen Dyah Pitaloka. There was a slight regret about confessing that his memory had returned, but he couldn’t hold back the turmoil in his heart when he saw his mother crying."Rise, my son. I knew you would come back to me," said Queen Dyah Pitaloka. Her wide smile reflected the happiness she was feeling in that moment.Arya stood up. He looked at his mother’s gentle face and then embraced her tightly. The mother and son cried, sobbing in a release of the immense happiness they were feeling.Even

A knock on the door made Arya rise to his feet. His steps moved instinctively as his fingers reached for the doorknob and opened it. Ratnasari and Dewi were already standing outside Arya’s room. Their smiles bloomed with happiness. Dewi, who already had a naturally beautiful face, looked even lovelier after being properly cleaned. Arya crouched down in front of Dewi and looked closely at the little girl's face. I'm sure Mother will like this little girl, he thought to himself. “Dewi, from today on, I accept you as my sister. Anyone who treats you badly is asking for trouble with me. I will not let anyone hurt you or make you cry,” said Arya. “Is what you said really true, Kakang?” Dewi asked curiously. “Do I look like I’m lying?” Arya asked in return. Dewi looked into Arya’s eyes for a few moments, then shook her head. A second later, she ran into Arya’s embrace as he

The woman shook her head. "I’m not like the other townspeople who heartlessly let that little girl go hungry. Even if not directly, I often gave her food. I was afraid that if the others found out, they might shun me too.""How did you give her food without doing it directly?" Arya frowned. "Was it through someone else?""If it were through someone else, that would be suicide. In a situation like this, I couldn't trust anyone." The owner of the eatery gave a bitter smile."So, how did you do it?""That little girl often scavenged for food in the trash, so I would place food in the bin outside so she could find it. It’s filthy, I know, but I had no other way," the woman explained, then fell silent for a moment."But for some reason, I haven’t seen her for the past two days, so it feels pointless to keep leaving food there," she added, puzzled."So that’s the story?" Arya slowly nodded his head. "You’re truly a kind perso

The little girl was puzzled by the demeanor of the young man who was hugging her. She even heard an apology softly whispered from his lips. Arya quickly wiped away his tears when he saw Ratnasari and Princess Laras walking toward him. He didn’t want to appear weak in front of them. But it was too late. Both of the beautiful girls had already seen Arya crying while embracing the little girl. “What’s wrong, Arya? Why are you crying? And who is this little girl?” Princess Laras bombarded him with questions. Ratnasari only gave a faint smile, seeing the princess of King Wijaya Kusuma unaware of Arya’s tender heart—how he couldn’t bear to see others suffer. Especially now, as the one in his arms was just a small child. “She’s an orphan and begs just to survive,” Arya said, then lifted the little girl into his arms. Princess Laras was stunned. She hadn’t expected that the man who had

Wisnu scratched his head, confusion clearly etched across his face."Grandfather, Elder Mandalasura and the Cakrabuana Kingdom suffered a defeat. My men reported as much, and Elder Mandalasura’s whereabouts remain unknown until now."Sastra Wijaya frowned, disbelief flickering in his eyes at the news he had just received.Yet he saw no sign of deceit in Wisnu’s expression or gaze.In the hierarchy of black sects, Mandalasura only held the seventh rank. However, in terms of members, the Shadow Demon Sect was notably large for a black sect—ranked among the top five overall.His eyes stared into the distance, sensing something deeply wrong—and cursing himself for not keeping up with developments in the kingdoms he intended to conquer.“Was there a white sect that aided the Jaya Buana Kingdom?”“No, Grandfather. The Jaya Buana Kingdom relied solely on its own forces,” Wisnu replied.Sastra Wijaya stroked his fine-be
