However, Arya and Ratnasari were completely mistaken—the four black-clad figures had deliberately lured them out of the royal city.

"If you two think we were planning to flee after attacking, you're dead wrong! Look where you are now!" one of the attackers sneered.

"You better not think that just because we're outside the city, we'll be afraid to face you," Arya smirked mockingly. "I don’t know who you are or what you want, but you've made a grave mistake by attacking us!"

"Your threats mean nothing to the Four Blood Demons, boy! We've lived our whole lives under threats, so don't expect us to be scared of yours!"

"Say whatever you want, but I didn’t chase after you just to threaten you—I came to kill all four of you!" Arya shot back.

"Bastard! Arrogant fools like you deserve to be cut to pieces!" one of them spat. "Kill the boy and capture the girl! We're being paid handsomely for this! Hahaha!"

Arya frowned. He hadn’t expected that someone wanted him dead. But there was no time to t

    The handsome young man channeled his inner energy to relieve the pain coursing through his body. Something about the three opponents before him felt odd. Judging by their energy levels, Reksapati and the leader of the Blood Red Moon Sect were clearly stronger, yet their attacks were able to penetrate the Fire Dragon energy he had summoned.“Hahaha! How could we be paid so handsomely just to kill someone as weak as him?” one of the three sneered.“You’re right. I also wonder why those two soldiers were willing to pay such a high price for this young man’s life. I thought our target would be formidable, but he turns out to be nothing more than a lowly insect,” his companion replied.Hearing the word soldiers made Arya’s brow furrow deeply. His thoughts immediately turned to Prince Purbaya, who despised him.The handsome young man stood up as the pain in his arm subsided. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, locked onto its prey.“You just mentioned a prince and soldiers, didn’t you? Was

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Explosion of Fire Dragon Energy

    Experience is the best teacher. The black-clad figure had already felt his hands go numb from the previous clash. He had no desire to experience that again if their weapons struck with full force.However, Ratnasari's speed increased as she infused her inner energy, making it impossible for her opponent to dodge every attack from the beautiful swordswoman.With no other choice, the black figure blocked the sword strike aimed at the side of his neck.Tiiing!A sharp, ear-piercing clang echoed through the silent night.The figure abruptly released his red staff, letting it drop to the ground. He then jumped back, frantically shaking his burning hand."Impossible!" he gasped. He felt his staff grow scorching hot upon clashing with his opponent’s sword. That was why he had to abandon his beloved weapon.Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Ratnasari swiftly followed up with another attack. Both her swords slashed through the black figure’s body, slicing him into three pieces."Aaaakh!" A

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   The Soldiers’ Confusion

    That night, Prince Purbaya could not close his eyes at all. His mind was haunted by the thought of his arrogance, which he had built for so long, about to crumble. He considered it only natural for a noble like him to be arrogant—after all, he had something to be proud of. It was a different matter if arrogance came from someone of the Sudra caste or the lowest social class.Prince Purbaya’s two soldiers, exhausted and in dire need of rest, had no choice but to stay up with the heir to the Cakrabuana throne until morning.They had to endure their fatigue and drowsiness, which felt like a rain of arrows in battle, lest they face punishment. They knew that Prince Purbaya was infamous for his cruelty in punishing his subordinates.As dawn approached, Prince Purbaya finally managed to close his eyes, though only by forcing himself to do so. The 25-year-old Crown Prince reminded himself that he had to compete in the third round of the tournament held at the Jaya Buana royal palace.In the

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Next Order

    It was impossible for a crown prince to eavesdrop on the soldiers' conversations, he thought. He should have heard the news from within the forest directly from his soldiers.Upon arriving at the hall, there was still no one in sight. Prince Purbaya decided to return to his chamber while waiting for his soldiers to arrive and report their findings.Unlike the first two rounds, which were held in the morning, the third round of the tournament was scheduled later that day. That was why Arya was still lounging in his room.The handsome young man lay on the bed, gazing at the beautiful face of Ratnasari, who was still fast asleep.Moments later, the lovely girl opened her eyes. A mix of surprise and embarrassment flooded her as she realized the first thing she saw upon waking up was her beloved's handsome face—staring at her no less."Why are you looking at me like that?""Good morning, my beautiful love," Arya greeted without answering Ratnasari’s question.Her heart pounded at Arya’s sw

    Suddenly, his thoughts inadvertently turned to Arya. His encounter yesterday with the mysterious young man led him to suspect that Arya was the culprit."But is that even possible?" His heart was filled with questions. He was still unsure about the thoughts forming in his mind.King Wijaya Kusuma stepped out of the treatment chamber and ordered his soldiers to find Arya and bring him to the palace.Meanwhile, in the royal square, a host climbed onto one of the stages. After taking a deep breath, he loudly announced the postponement of the third round of the tournament.Disappointed murmurs erupted among the audience, mixed with long, disorganized whistles.From inside a small tavern, Arya peeked outside upon hearing the commotion of the disappointed crowd in the square. His curiosity grew, prompting him to invite Ratnasari to approach the stage and find out what had happened.After paying for the meal that had already settled in his stomach, the two of them walked briskly into the roy

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Important Information

    King Wijaya Kusuma stared intently at the handsome young man's face, searching for any sign that might confirm his suspicions. However, Arya’s act was so natural that the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom could not detect any pretense. Even when he used his ability to sense Arya’s energy, he could feel only a very faint trace."So, the story is that a battle took place in the outer forest near the capital last night, and four bodies were found by the soldiers as a result of that fight. But the problem is, no one knows who they were fighting against." King Wijaya Kusuma let out a long sigh."And what does that have to do with us, Your Majesty?" Arya asked."Nothing. I just thought you should know." King Wijaya Kusuma concealed his confusion. The nearly middle-aged king pondered how to steer the conversation in another direction.Suddenly, the door swung open, and Commander Bayu Aji entered the hall.King Wijaya Kusuma frowned at Commander Bayu Aji's arrival, which was several days earlie

    A broad smile spread across the lips of the two elderly men. The thought of gold filling their pockets danced before their eyes."The young man is staying here, Elder. As per our agreement, I will settle the remaining payment once you have successfully killed him," said a soldier serving Prince Purbaya. He was unwilling to be deceived again by paying in full before confirming the job was done."Hahahaha... I can assure you the boy will die. Just prepare the rest of my payment. But remember, if you break our deal, I will hunt you down and separate every part of your body!" replied the taller of the two old men."How could I dare break my promise to the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect? Once you have killed him, I will pay the remainder immediately. The prince may even reward you handsomely.""I’ll hold you to that! Now leave and watch from afar as we finish the job."As the two soldiers walked away, the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect leaped lightly onto the inn's roof.For warr

    They couldn't suppress their anger, especially Sumarta, who cursed loudly, even muttering a few profanities under his breath."Enough. Let's ignore him. Now, let's go inside and kill that young man!" said Wira.Sumarta nodded and took a step forward. His right hand reached for the door handle and pushed it gently.Something unexpected happened. The door he was about to open suddenly burst outward. The old man had no time to dodge and had to endure the wooden door slamming into his body.A string of curses and swearing spilled from his wrinkled lips. His hand throbbed in pain, struck by the wooden door.Wira was equally shocked, but he was lucky enough to react swiftly and avoid the door aimed at his body."I don’t know why you came here, but if you were hired by Prince Purbaya to kill me, then I won’t hesitate to send you to join the Four Blood Demons in death!"Arya's cold and flat voice startled Wira and Sumarta. Both of them instinctively turned toward the door and saw a handsome y

  • Severe Punishment

    The man who had just swung his sword was shocked when his attack hit nothing. It was clear that the young man hadn’t moved an inch even though the blade was only a handspan away from its target.He turned around when he heard a mocking voice behind him.“You—how did you get over there?”“Hahaha… What a foolish question from someone with such low skill. You and the rest of you should realize just who you’re dealing with,” Arya replied, deliberately boasting in front of them so they would understand that there’s always someone stronger above.The handsome young man turned his gaze to his lover.“Ratna, finish them all! I don’t want to dirty my hands with their filthy blood right now!”“With pleasure. There’s no place on this earth for those who disgrace and violate women!” the beautiful girl grinned, revealing her fierce side.Without another word, Ratnasari swiftly attacked one of the men and snatched his sword. Her claw strike landed precisely on the man’s neck, killing him instantly

  • 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

  • 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 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?”<

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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’
