Regret
"Prime Minister, in your opinion, what is Prince Dewalaksana’s purpose for coming here?""I dare not be certain, Your Majesty. However, I sensed something unusual about his arrival," replied Prime Minister Aswamarman."So, you felt it too. What do you think it is?" King Damarjaya stroked his beard, which was covered in fine hair.Not wanting to dwell too long on the uneasiness he felt, King Damarjaya invited Prime Minister Aswamarman to meet Prince Dewalaksana.Without further words, the two of them quickly left the chamber and headed to the hall.Meanwhile, Prince Dewalaksana’s irritation, which had not subsided due to the rude treatment by the gate guards, was growing worse by the absence of King Damarjaya in the hall. He felt abandoned, left completely alone. After all, he was the son of King Dharmalaksana—whose rank was unquestionably higher than that of King Damarjaya.Not long after, the door to the hall opened. King Damarjaya and Prime Minister Aswamarman entered."Greetings, P
The Oddity
The eldest son of King Dharmalaksana was furious after being denied entry to the palace by the guards. Even after declaring himself as the crown prince of the Sastrajingga kingdom, the soldiers still refused to let him see King Damarjaya.The soldiers based their decision on Prince Dewalaksana’s appearance, which didn’t reflect that of a prince.“If you still won’t let me in to meet King Damarjaya, I assure you—your punishment will be death!” Prince Dewalaksana threatened.The resolve of the eight gate guards began to falter. One of them took the initiative to report the situation to Minister Aswamarman, who was resting in his private quarters.The soldier gave a soft knock at the door upon arriving outside the minister’s room.A man of average height but a firm, sturdy build stood up as the door opened.“What is it, soldier?”The guard gave a respectful bow before reporting the incident at the palace gate.“Forgive me for disturbing your rest, Minister. I have come to report that som
The Shock of Elder Wiyasa
An inn located just seventy meters from the palace became the place where the three of them stayed for several days. Two rooms were rented—one for Elder Wiyasa and another for Arya and Ratnasari.Inside Elder Wiyasa's room, the three sat cross-legged on the floor, facing each other atop a woven pandan mat. Elder Wiyasa remained silent, trying to find the right words to describe King Damarjaya's current position.“Here’s the story,” Elder Wiyasa took a deep breath to fill his lungs with air, “After you two left the hall, King Damarjaya began to complain about the declining attention from the Sastrajingga palace. He felt he had shown unwavering loyalty—and that loyalty is indeed unquestionable.”Arya stroked his beard as he listened to the elder’s words. At the same time, his mind worked to analyze every sentence that came out of the old man’s wrinkled lips. Ratnasari listened too, while idly playing with her fingers on the mat.“I tried to probe him—what kind of attention did he expect
Regret
But in order to ensure the success of the plan he had made with Arya, he had to let them both leave the hall."In that case, we’ll take a stroll through the city, Elder. Since we're already here, we shouldn't miss the opportunity," said Arya.With a gentle smile, Arya walked toward the hall doors, followed closely by Ratnasari.After the two young warriors exited the hall, Elder Wiyasa remained silent, letting King Damarjaya dwell in his thoughts. He would not begin the conversation until the king spoke first."Elder…" King Damarjaya finally broke the silence. "What I’m about to discuss is complicated, and I cannot make sense of it on my own."The ruler of the Purareksa Kingdom then stood and walked toward Elder Wiyasa, taking a seat beside the founder of the White Eagle Sect."What trouble are you facing, Your Majesty?" Elder Wiyasa asked.King Damarjaya inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly. He repeated this twice, as though trying to ease the weight pressing on him."You see, Elder,
Prince Dewalaksana’s Frustration
The royal city gate guards were startled by the arrival of the former advisor to King Damarjaya, who had resigned more than seven years ago.Although much time had passed, they still held deep respect for the founder of the White Eagle Sect."Greetings, Elder Wiyasa," said one of the guards, bowing respectfully.The other guards followed suit, bowing in respect to Elder Wiyasa."Guard the gate well. Don’t forget to inspect everyone who wishes to enter the royal city," Elder Wiyasa responded."Of course, Elder. We will not let our guard down in protecting the city. Do you wish to see His Majesty?"Elder Wiyasa smiled and nodded. "It’s been quite a while since I last came to the palace. The last time was around five years ago when I came to treat His Majesty’s daughter."The guard speaking to Elder Wiyasa glanced at three merchant carts approaching the city gates. "Forgive me, Elder... It's not that I don't wish to chat longer, but duty calls. Please, proceed inside," he said, then open
The One Who Shows the Way
The three warriors, each from a different generation, departed from the place. Resi Wiyasa, using his light body technique, moved swiftly, followed closely by the two young warriors.Arya judged that Resi Wiyasa's speed was indeed impressive, comparable to the elite warriors he had faced before.After reaching the foot of a hill, they arrived at a large tree, its trunk wide enough to be embraced by four adult men.Resi Wiyasa looked up, followed by the two younger warriors."Perhaps this will remind you both," said the old man.Arya and Ratnasari looked up at a treehouse built on the giant tree. Their memories were drawn back to the time they spent in the Panguripan Valley.But then, both of them turned to Resi Wiyasa, puzzled—how could this old man know about their past? Before they could ask, Resi Wiyasa gestured for them to leap up.With just one light jump, the three of them landed inside the treehouse, about eight meters above the ground.Once inside, the three warriors sat cross
