Instructions for Sastrawijaya
If there truly was a young warrior capable of defeating Mandalasura, he should at least have heard of his name."Do you have any information about the name and physical description of this young warrior?" asked Sastrawijaya, reaching for a rolled palm-leaf manuscript and a quill adorned with peacock feathers."As far as I remember, his name was Arya, Grandfather. His most notable traits are that he has a handsome face, shoulder-length black hair, and carries a black-colored sword," replied Wisnu, recalling the information he had gathered.Sastrawijaya listened carefully while jotting notes on the palm leaf."Alright, wait here! Don’t go anywhere until I return!" he said, putting the quill back in its place."Yes, Grandfather," Wisnu nodded.The elderly man with a youthful face then stood and entered a chamber within the same room.Inside, Sastrawijaya sat cross-legged. He reread the writing on the palm leaf and memorized it to ease the search he was about to undertake.He then closed
Information from Wisnu
"Lies! I have never done anything to harm others!" the accused member of the sect retorted.Arya fixed his sharp gaze on the sect member pointed out by the villagers. He noted the man’s expression — so convincingly genuine, as if he had never committed the act he was accused of.But Arya would not be so easily swayed by mere pretenses. His vast experience dealing with all kinds of personalities during his travels had honed his ability to analyze every situation."Lies or truth are not based merely on words, but on evidence and witnesses," he countered."I’m not speaking carelessly, Warrior. The villagers who witnessed the incident can testify," the villager interjected. "I can summon them all if needed."Arya smiled faintly and shook his head. "No need. I already believe what you’ve said. It’s now clear who is in the wrong. One or two witnesses may still leave room for doubt, but when there are many, it’s almost certainly the truth.""I’m not lying, Warrior. They’re just trying to pro
Incitement
The handsome young man reached for a tree branch hanging above him and snapped it. He then stripped off the leaves clinging to it and broke it into several smaller pieces."Honestly, I didn’t want to get involved in your business. But I can’t just stand by and watch you murder the villagers." Arya swept his gaze over everyone who was staring at him."Enough talk! Let’s slaughter these villagers!" shouted a member of the sect who stood about fifteen meters from where Arya was.The man raised his sword and was about to slash it at a nearby villager.But before the blade could reach its target, its trajectory suddenly changed. Not only that, the sword slipped from his grasp and clattered to the ground.Shock flooded his mind in that brief moment. He had no idea what had struck his sword so that it flew from his hand.Yet when he looked toward the handsome youth standing on the horse cart, he began to suspect that Arya was responsible—especially since, at that very moment, Arya’s piercing
Helping the Villagers
The journey back took almost the same amount of time as when they had departed. However, along the way—more precisely after they crossed the mountain marking the border between the Purareksa Kingdom and Swarnabumi—Elder Wiyasa suggested that Arya and Ratnasari should head straight for the Sastrajingga Kingdom.The founder of the White Eagle Sect explained that there was another route they could take without passing through Purareksa’s capital first. If they avoided the capital, they could shorten their journey by five to six days.“When you reach a large fork in the road ahead, Prince, take the path to the right. You’ll pass through two duchies—Kotasura and Jaya Amarta. After Jaya Amarta, you can ask for directions to the Sastrajingga capital,” Elder Wiyasa explained.“Very well, Grandfather. In that case, we’ll set off first,” Arya replied.“Wait, Prince… Given how complicated our current problem is, please try to avoid incidents that might waste time.”Arya gave a faint smile before
False Support
Aside from discussing the gathering location of the armies from the three kingdoms, the meeting also determined the exact time to launch the attack.Arya actually felt both surprised and suspicious at how calm the discussion was. Logically speaking, the news of his two elder brothers’ capture should have reached King Ayodya and King Karnakemala. It was impossible for them not to have spies in the Purareksa Palace.Yet, deep in his heart, he also hoped they fully believed that King Damarjaya would not betray the agreement they had made.“As for when our troops will depart for the Sastrajingga capital, let Elder Poncokusumo answer,” King Ayodya said.“Thank you for giving me the time, Your Majesty,” Poncokusumo replied as he stood up.“Before that, I would like to greet the young warrior who will play a significant role in helping us during the war against the Sastrajingga Kingdom.” Poncokusumo smiled at Arya. “Please stand, Warrior.”Arya was startled when Poncokusumo mentioned his nam
The Question
The arrival of King Karnakemala made Arya’s heart pound. At the very least, the decision of whether the war would continue or not was now drawing closer. Only one more night remained, and tomorrow the fate of the future would be revealed.From a distance, Arya simply watched the grand welcome given to the ruler of the Candipuro Kingdom. Not even the slightest desire arose in his heart to approach. He feared that someone might recognize him as a prince of the Sastrajingga Kingdom.However, Arya’s choice to stay away did not go unnoticed—it stirred deep suspicion in the mind of Tompel and his companions. Members of Poncokusumo’s group, who during the day disguised themselves as palace soldiers, realized that Arya was not among those welcoming the royal guest.Night eventually descended. Arya chose to remain in his chamber without stepping out at all—Elder Wiyasa and Ratnasari did the same. The three of them wanted to rest as much as possible, knowing that tomorrow would demand their pea
