Confession
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

Arrogance
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

Jealousy
"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’

Doubt
Prince Dewalakasana also looked visibly annoyed at seeing his youngest brother’s closeness with the two beautiful girls. His fingers clenched tightly, trying to hold back the emotions swirling in his mind.There was regret in the heart of the eldest son of King Dharmalaksana—why hadn’t he made sure first whether his youngest brother was truly dead after falling from the cliff?“They seem very close, Brother. We should finish him off once and for all and make sure he’s dead, so he won’t interfere with our efforts to win over those two girls,” said Prince Bimalaksana.“You’re right, Bima. We need to devise a plan to lure him out of the capital,” replied Prince Dewalakasana, his gaze still fixed on a small hut-like structure in the garden.“When it comes to making plans, Suryalaksana is the expert, Brother. Wasn’t it Suryalaksana who devised the plan to push Jaya off the cliff back then?”Dewalakasana smirked slyly. He nodded slightly, then invited his brother to leave the place. Staying

A Rebellion Plan?
“Believe it or not, but the truth is, your brother Jayalaksana has played a big role in saving your parents. You can ask Commander Argananta to confirm this. Or if you’re still doubtful, you can ask the soldiers who escorted us yesterday,” King Dharmalaksana continued.Prince Suryalaksana scratched his head softly. He then recalled Prince Dewalaksana’s words from before, saying that the leadership of the Sastrajingga Kingdom would eventually be handed over to Jayalaksana. That was why, even though he was usually quiet and not a schemer, he ended up being influenced.But he couldn’t reveal that now to his parents. He decided to keep that secret with his two elder brothers.“I’m done here. I’ll return to my room now. Father, Mother, I ask for your leave.” Prince Suryalaksana bowed respectfully before leaving his father’s private chamber.After their third son left, King Dharmalaksana and Queen Dyah Pitaloka also exited the room. The king had specifically requested to meet Dewi, the youn

Bitter Reality
King Dharmalaksana glanced at Arya. He had actually hoped that his youngest son would speak up and offer his opinion. But instead, Arya didn’t even seem interested in what they were discussing.From the conversation he overheard between his father and Commander Argananta, besides the Purareksa Kingdom, two other kingdoms suspected of planning a rebellion were the Candipuro Kingdom and the Swarnabumi Kingdom.Among the three, the Swarnabumi Kingdom was the largest. Arya remembered well when he was six or seven years old, the Swarnabumi Kingdom had tried to attack and conquer the Sastrajingga Kingdom, but the kingdom led by his father was still too powerful; in the end, Swarnabumi had surrendered and become a vassal kingdom.Throughout the discussion, Arya didn’t say a word. Not because he was unwilling to share his thoughts, but because neither his father nor Commander Argananta asked for his opinion. Yet, for him, the key points were already clear just from listening.The handsome you

The Cunning of Prince Dewalaksana
In the midst of his despair, Prince Dewalaksana’s eyes caught sight of Commander Argananta walking into the training ground.The three princes looked at him in surprise. Why was Commander Argananta approaching them? What news did the commander of the Sastrajingga kingdom’s army want to deliver to them?Commander Argananta had expected to find Prince Dewalaksana there with Prince Bimalaksana, but he hadn’t anticipated that Prince Suryalaksana would be with them as well. A flicker of surprise crossed his mind, as Prince Suryalaksana was known to be a loner.But he quickly brushed off his surprise. After all, they were brothers, so it wasn’t too strange that they were spending time together.“What brings you here, Uncle? It seems like you have something to tell us,” Prince Dewalaksana asked curiously.Commander Argananta smiled warmly. “Indeed, I do have something to tell you. Actually, His Majesty ordered me to deliver this message to you a

The Unveiling of the Deception
On the journey back to the palace, Prince Suryalaksana was deep in thought, trying hard to figure out how to foil Prince Dewalaksana’s plan. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice Prince Bimalaksana trying to talk to him.“Why are you so quiet, Surya?” asked Prince Bimalaksana, giving his younger brother a light tap on the shoulder.Prince Suryalaksana snapped out of his thoughts with a start. “What is it, Brother Bima?”Prince Bimalaksana stopped walking. “What’s on your mind, Surya? Don’t let Brother Dewa’s words confuse you.”“What do you mean, Brother?” Prince Suryalaksana frowned.“You’re my brother. We grew up together—I know exactly how you think, Surya.”“I don’t understand what you’re getting at,” Prince Suryalaksana said, scratching his head slowly.“Come on, Surya, stop pretending. I know you don’t agree with Brother Dewa’s plan. You just went along with it to keep him happy, didn’t you?”<

A Mother’s Blessing
Arya lifted his face. He froze when he saw Ratnasari already inside his room, standing and staring at him sharply. One thing confused him—how would he explain himself to his beloved now that his charade had been exposed?Much like her son, Queen Dyah Pitaloka was also at a loss for words. Although Ratnasari’s act of barging into someone else’s room without knocking was impolite, she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh toward her future daughter-in-law.Ratnasari, in truth, felt guilty for not knocking first. Especially since Queen Dyah Pitaloka, who had always been like a mother to her, was inside the room. But on the other hand, had she knocked, she wouldn’t have discovered that Arya had been pretending about his memory loss all this time.“I apologize, Your Majesty. I didn’t know you were here. If I’m disturbing you, I will leave at once.”“Stay, my daughter-in-law. Since you already know, I will explain everything,” Queen Dyah Pitaloka replied.<

The Busy Village
Half a day’s journey had passed since Arya and Ratnasari left the capital. Without realizing it, their footsteps had carried them into the evening.As the sun dimmed and prepared to set, the couple arrived at the first village they encountered. Two entrance gates made of stacked bricks stood tall, as if to welcome their arrival. Nearby, a large signboard stood next to one of the gates.Although the sun was fading, the village activity did not slow down. Dozens of bamboo torches, their flames dancing in the wind, lined the village streets—placed in front of each house or building.People bustled about—men and women, old and young alike—signaling that life in this village was far from quiet. Added to that were carts drawn by horses and oxen, one by one filling the roads.Arya shook his head. Of all the villages he had visited, this was the first where he witnessed such a unique custom.Vendors lined the streets, eagerly offering their goods to anyone passing by their stalls. Shouts and
