Princess Rani’s Worry
The situation on the battlefield shifted rapidly. Suwita, as the commander, never stopped encouraging his soldiers. Even as wounds began to carve across his body and his clothes gradually turned crimson with blood, his movements and speed showed no sign of slowing.The number of Kemuning Sari’s surviving warriors continued to dwindle, driving their morale to its lowest point. Their numerical advantage had failed to give them any edge—instead, they were forced to swallow a bitter defeat. Those who remained chose to flee for their lives.“Don’t chase them! Let them go!” Suwita shouted to his men who were about to pursue the fleeing Kemuning Sari members.The middle-aged man—Princess Rani’s most trusted aide—then sat cross-legged. With the help of his soldiers, he pressed his wounds to stop the bleeding.Elsewhere, Kemuning Sari was fuming in rage. He felt humiliated by the young man who stood before him. Flames burst once again from his hands, only to make Arya smirk mockingly.“It’s ob
The Emergence of the Black Flame
That young man is clever… he can read my attacks, Kemuning Sari muttered inwardly, disbelief flashing across his face. He had thought Arya would expect him to use the same trick as before—intending to deceive, yet ending up deceived himself. Now, he had to rethink his entire strategy.Though Arya was also pushed back by the previous blast, his condition was far better than Kemuning Sari’s. The young man managed to dig his heels into the ground, leaving deep marks as he stopped his sliding momentum.Arya stood tall, his sharp eyes fixed on Kemuning Sari’s body sprawled among the fallen trees. Around him, the forest lay in ruins—splintered trunks and scorched earth showing the ferocity of their duel.The effeminate warrior, once known as Jaka , coughed and spat a mouthful of fresh blood. He forced himself to stand and channeled his inner energy to ease the pain coursing through his body.Rage twisted his features. In the next instant, he drew the sacred sword he had yet to use.A surge
A Shameful Death
Arya walked toward the body of Kemuning Sari, which still lay among the ruins of fallen trees. The black flame blade that had once burned fiercely on his sword was now gone.“What a pitiful fate you’ve met, you effeminate demon,” Arya said mockingly, a cruel smile curling on his lips. He crouched on the fallen trunk, his gaze fixed on Kemuning Sari. “You never thought you’d end up meeting me, did you?”Kemuning Sari snorted angrily through her nostrils. Her eyes, burning with hatred, glared at the young man who had rendered her powerless.“To be honest, I somewhat admire you,” Arya continued with his trademark grin. “Even in this state, you don’t seem afraid at all.”“Shut up, bastard! If you think I fear death, you’re gravely mistaken. Kill me now!” Kemuning Sari snapped, her voice trembling with rage.Arya picked up a branch as thick as his big toe, broke it to about a meter in length, and stripped away the leaves. Kemuning Sari watched in confusion, wondering what the young man was

The Meeting Between Master and Disciple
The Meeting Between Master and DiscipleArya almost lost his balance and nearly fell from the tree, startled by the sudden appearance of Ki Mangkubumi. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed a branch and held on tightly.“Next time, don’t appear so suddenly when I’m up in a tree like this, old man,” Arya grumbled.“Hahaha! Even if Your Highness fell, I’m sure you’d still land on your feet. How could someone who’s mastered the Earth Technique possibly lose his balance?” Ki Mangkubumi replied with a chuckle, sitting down on a branch and letting his legs dangle freely.“I came from the Dead Hill earlier, but it seems Your Highness wasn’t there. The hill is still the same as before. Did you decide not to test the Four Elements Sword after all?” he asked curiously.Arya shook his head and exhaled deeply. His gaze shifted downward—to Princess Rani, who was hurrying toward her tent.“Wait here for a moment,” he said before leaping down, landing softly on the ground.He quickly approached Princess R
The Royal Capital of the Pamenang Kingdom
Ki Mangkubumi glanced at Princess Rani and immediately noticed the admiration in her eyes. It wasn’t surprising to him—Arya possessed not only an exceptional appearance but also noble manners and a calm, humble spirit. A perfect combination that naturally drew the attention of women.Arya explained that he hadn’t been able to continue his training yet because he had met the soldiers of the Pamenang Kingdom. He didn’t feel the need to go into details about his training process; Ki Mangkubumi already understood, and Suwita or the others didn’t need to know.He told Ki Mangkubumi everything clearly and in detail, including Princess Rani’s request for help with her problem.“For that matter, we must discuss it privately, Your Highness,” Ki Mangkubumi said calmly. “Right now, you are also urgently needed in the palace. There’s a possibility that an attack could happen at any moment.”“My apologies, but which force would dare to attack the royal capital of Sastrajingga?” Suwita asked, his c
Treated Like a Criminal
According to the information obtained from Suwita, the ruler of the Pamenang Kingdom and father of Princess Rani, King Syailendra, was not a tyrant. Both as a father and a ruler, he was known to be kind and fair. He often descended from his throne to greet his people and see their condition directly.“His Majesty acted selfishly toward Princess Rani because of the threat from Prince Surendralaksa,” Suwita explained to Arya.“I would rather leave the palace or even die than become that man’s wife. Prince Surendralaksa is known for toying with women. Even though he already has three wives, he still wanders around looking for more,” Princess Rani said softly.Arya gazed at the princess’s delicate face, which looked weary and void of any joy. Unlike Ratnasari, who was almost always cheerful, Princess Rani was more like Princess Laras—gentle, reserved, and still waiting to be proposed to by Arya.“You deserve a far better husband, Princess. I believe one day you’ll find a true leader—someo
A Dream Come True
During the journey to the palace, Arya finally came to a conclusion—that what Suwita had said about King Syailendra being a responsible ruler who truly cared for his people was indeed true. He based this conclusion on the well-organized state of the royal capital and the prosperous lives of its citizens.The absence of beggars and vagrants in the royal city was, in itself, clear proof of King Syailendra’s success in governing his people.However, remembering the betrayal of King Damarjaya a few months earlier—which had led to a devastating war—Arya could not easily believe everything he saw, even after reaching that conclusion.It was worth noting that King Damarjaya had also been known as a ruler who succeeded in improving his people’s economy. Even though Purareksa was merely a vassal kingdom, it could stand firmly on its own without relying on the economic support of its parent kingdom, Sastrajingga.Upon arriving in front of the palace gates, the guards immediately opened them and
Revealing the True Identity
King Syailendra was stunned by Princess Rani’s defiant tone. His usually calm and obedient daughter now dared to raise her voice at him and her mother.“Who taught you to speak like that to us?” he demanded.Arya himself was surprised to see her reaction. He thought that Princess Rani must have been deeply distressed by all she had gone through, and to him, her outburst was perfectly understandable.“No one taught me, Father. I’m simply disappointed that you couldn’t protect your own family,” Princess Rani replied firmly.King Syailendra let out a heavy sigh. He didn’t wish to be trapped in such a difficult situation, but as a ruler, he had to make decisions that concerned the lives of many. To him, arranging his daughter’s marriage was part of the sacrifice he had to make for the greater good.“Commander Suwita!” King Syailendra called, trying to shift the focus away from his daughter.“Yes, Your Majesty.”“Before I decide on your punishment for taking my daughter away for months, ex
Enlightenment
Suwita took a deep breath before answering King Syailendra’s question.“Yes, Your Majesty. He is Prince Jayalaksana, the youngest son of the late King Dharmalaksana.”King Syailendra immediately furrowed his brows when Suwita mentioned the word late. Although he had never met the man and their kingdoms had no political ties, the name King Dharmalaksana was one he often heard. The last news he received spoke of a great war in the capital of the Sastrajingga Kingdom a few months ago, but according to the reports, the ruler of Sastrajingga and his family had survived — even emerged victorious. So why had Suwita referred to him as the late King Dharmalaksana?“Are you certain, Commander? I mean, are you sure King Dharmalaksana has passed away? Or could this perhaps be a ruse — a ploy for some hidden advantage?”“I cannot say for certain, Your Majesty,” Suwita replied respectfully. “But I firmly believe that the young man sitting beside your daughter is indeed Prince Jayalaksana.”King Sya
