The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Ratnasari's Threat
Embarrassed? Of course, Prince Purbaya felt ashamed to have to apologize to Ratnasari. But he felt he had to do it if he truly wanted to change his ways. Step by step, the younger brother of King Wijaya Kusuma approached Ratnasari. It wasn't out of fear of Arya, but because he had made up his mind to become a better person. Standing before Ratnasari, Prince Purbaya bowed his head. All eyes in the hall were on him. "I apologize for all the wrongs I have done to you," he said, not daring to look at Ratnasari's face. Shame was the most accurate word to describe his current feelings. Ratnasari, still angry at the man, turned her face away. Coincidentally, Arya was looking at her and gave her a slight glare. With a nod, the handsome young man signaled for his lover to forgive Prince Purbaya, even if it was just a formality. Ratnasari put on a sour face. In her heart, she found it very difficult to forgive Prince Purbaya. But be
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Divine Will
A huge question immediately popped into Arya's mind. "What could the Jaya Buana ruler possibly want in my room at this late hour? Is it something so important that he had to come see me?" "Why are you so surprised to see me? May I come in?" King Wijaya Kusuma asked, his smile radiating strong friendship. The question startled Arya, who was still frozen in shock at the sudden arrival of King Wijaya Kusuma. "Oh, uh... Please, Your Majesty. Consider it your own home," the young man replied, opening his room door wide. King Wijaya Kusuma chuckled softly. "How could you possibly tell me to consider your palace my home?" "Oh, yes..." Arya became even more awkward and flustered at the small mistake he had made. King Wijaya Kusuma walked into the room and chose a chair to sit on. After closing the room door, Arya walked towards the king. As he was facing a king, Arya stood with his head bowed. "Hahaha
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Last Tribute
Rengga could only nod slowly. He knew very well who Arya was and what his nature was like. The young man had never once put himself first before thinking about others. In his heart, Rengga promised to keep the message the young man had given him. To prioritize the interests of the people over his own personal interests. As the afternoon approached, Arya and Ratnasari bid farewell to King Wijaya Kusuma, Prime minister Bayu Aji, Rengga, and all the officials present in the palace hall. The departure of the pair of warriors who had been consecrated as the great heroes of the Jaya Buana kingdom left sadness for everyone who knew and understood their exploits. Unexpectedly for Arya and Ratnasari, their departure plans leaked out and spread throughout every corner of Capital. Since noon, almost all the residents of Capital had gathered in a row along the road from in front of the palace to outside the gate. They w
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Suspicion
Watini's imagination soared into the air. As a village girl who had never set foot outside her hometown, she imagined that all the young men in the capital city must be just as handsome as the guest currently in her village.She tried to suppress the rush of blood that surged when she saw Arya. Deep down, she knew her place and felt she had no chance competing against Ratnasari, whose beauty was above average."Come on, Ratna," urged Watini. Staying there any longer would only stir her youthful emotions further and torment her imagination, she thought.Ratnasari nodded and walked alongside Watini toward her house.“Is that girl your lover? Oh, and what’s your name, young man?”“My name is Arya, Uncle.”“And the girl?” the man asked again.“She is indeed my lover. We’re planning to visit some relatives in Sastrajingga, the royal capital,” Arya answered with a made-up story.“I see. You two make a very fine couple—handsome and beautiful,” the man said with a warm smile. “My name is Kars
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Sound of Battle
"Forgive me, but I can't believe you've stepped down, My Lord. To me, you are still the Grand Commander—an irreplaceable war leader. I have seen firsthand how you organize the troops, both in offense and defense," said Nara.Arya raised an eyebrow. "Were you part of the archery unit?""Yes, My Lord. I was among the archers led by Lord Rengga when we attacked the enemy in a valley flanked by hills," the soldier replied."Sit down first. I’ll explain everything. To be honest, I don't like being treated like that," Arya said."I'm sorry, My Lord, but I wouldn’t dare. It's not my place to sit at the same level as you." The soldier kept his gaze lowered, fearfully.Arya looked displeased at the refusal. "That’s an order! Sit next to me—now!" he said firmly.Overcome with fear, the four men quickly rose and sat down in the guard post.The atmosphere shifted drastically. Previously, Karso and the others had spoken to
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Monk Red Venom
The beautiful girl narrowed her eyes, gazing up at the mountain. With her heightened sense of hearing still sharp, Ratnasari tried to locate the source of the battle."Arya, there's a fight. The sound is coming from up there!" Her slender index finger pointed to a spot."If you train your senses often enough, you can hear even the slightest sound without needing deep focus. You can even sense someone's suppressed energy, though the limit is usually only if their inner strength is no more than one level above yours," Arya explained."Really? But didn’t you once say we can’t sense the energy of someone whose level is above ours?" Ratnasari asked."That was my old thinking. But during my disappearance, I learned many new things, some quite different from the usual beliefs of most warriors," Arya replied. His gaze returned to the spot Ratnasari had pointed out earlier."We’d better go check it out up there," he added."Hmm.
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The King Serpent Warrior’s Aid
Arya merely shifted his body slightly, allowing the red beam to shoot past just a few inches in front of him. As he dodged, a smile spread across his face—mocking, almost taunting his opponent’s attempt."Don’t you have anything faster than that?" Arya sneered."You arrogant brat! That was only the beginning!" shouted Monk Red Venom.The old man in all-red attire leaped forward, raising his staff high before swinging it down, aiming straight for Arya’s head."Die!"Blaaar!Monk Red Venom grunted in frustration. The powerful strike he launched missed completely, striking only the sandy ground and sending a thick cloud of dust into the air. His vision was quickly obscured, leaving him unable to see where his opponent had gone.Fortunately, the strong mountain wind soon dispersed the dust cloud. When visibility returned, the old man saw that the young warrior was no longer in front of him."Don’t you run
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Attempt at Peace
The two old men couldn’t hide their shock. As elders of a black sect based in the Sastrajingga Kingdom, they couldn’t detect the nature of the energy emitted by the young man. Normally, just by sensing the pressure alone, they would have been able to tell.Realizing the danger that could easily cost them their lives, Reso took the initiative to make peace with the handsome young man."Wait, Warrior… We’ve never had any conflict before. So I hope this fight ends here."Monk Red Venom was surprised by what his comrade said. He didn’t expect the one known as the Serpent King Warrior to surrender so easily.Reso hadn’t exactly said the word “surrender,” but by offering to end the fight, it was essentially the same thing."About my men—I’ll order them to withdraw, Warrior," Reso added."What are you doing, Reso? Why are you giving up so easily?" Monk Red Venom growled in frustration."Do you want us to die in vain, Prawi

The Suspicion of Two Princes
Two soldiers quickly moved to seize Kelana Sura. Both were actually afraid that Kelana Sura or Duke Wongsonegoro would retaliate by punishing them once Prince Jayalaksana departed. But that fear immediately vanished when the youngest son of King Dharmalaksana spoke before they took Kelana Sura to prison.“Uncle Wongso, please remember well what I’m about to say. I, Jayalaksana, guarantee the safety of every soldier who performs his duty properly. I will also punish regional leaders like you, Uncle, if you ever misuse your position and mistreat the people. So I hope you will act as a trustworthy leader,” said Arya.“I will always remember Your Highness’s message,” replied Duke Wongsonegoro.In truth, the ruler of the Sarirejo dukedom was surprised and even skeptical that a son of King Dharmalaksana would have such a character, since to his knowledge, the four sons of the Sastrajingga Kingdom’s ruler had never shown much concern for state affairs. Prince Dewalaksana had visited once or
A Deserved Punishment
The soldier walked toward the hall doors after saluting Duke Wongsonegoro.“Quickly, bring him in. His Grace the Duke is eager to meet him!” the soldier ordered the four guards who had been pointing their spears at Arya since they arrived at the gates of the duchy.Arya stepped into the hall, the four soldiers following closely behind.Duke Wongsonegoro, burning with the desire to punish or even kill the man who had severed his son’s right hand, kept his eyes fixed on the hall doors. But the moment Arya entered, followed by the four soldiers, the Duke’s eyes widened in shock.His heart felt like it stopped. His blood and breath seemed to freeze. It wasn’t just that a young man had cut off his son’s hand—it was that he knew exactly who this young man was, now walking toward him with a calm, smiling face.Duke Wongsonegoro instantly stood and fell to his knees, pressing his forehead to the floor. “Your servant pays respect, Prince Jayalaksana.”The fat man’s voice trembled violently. Hi
Sarirejo Duchy
Arya’s suspicions turned out to be correct. That morning, the village chief, along with several villagers, came to the inn where the young couple had spent the night. Among them was the girl who had been assaulted by Kelana Sura, now in the comforting embrace of a middle-aged woman.But they had to face the disappointment of not meeting the two heroes. The innkeeper told them that the couple had already left the village before sunrise.Meanwhile, the two figures the villagers of Sekar Sari were searching for were now far away, riding swiftly toward Sarirejo Duchy, which was only a day’s journey from the village.Several hours later, just as the sun was dipping toward the western horizon, Kelana Sura and a dozen of his men finally arrived at Sarirejo Duchy.Duke Wongsonegoro was furious when he saw his son in such a pitiful state, missing his right hand. The rotund duke cursed and swore, condemning the one who had severed his beloved son’s hand.In front of him, a dozen men knelt with
Leaving the Village
Arya handed the two pouches of coins he was holding to the young woman. “Give one pouch to your employer, and the other is for you.”The young woman was stunned in disbelief. Being saved from the cruelty of those men was already a priceless blessing, and now she was also receiving a pouch of coins that, to her, seemed like a fortune.“Just take it. Give the money to your parents,” said Ratnasari, noticing the girl’s hesitation in accepting Arya’s gift.“Thank you, kind sir. But how could I possibly repay the kindness you both have shown me?”Arya gave the young woman a warm smile. “If your parents are still alive, you can repay us by being devoted to them. And don’t forget to show kindness to others. The smiles of happiness from people you help are sincere prayers sent your way. No one you’ve helped will pray ill upon you,” he replied.“Now go home! We’ll handle things here,” Ratnasari added, continuing Arya’s words.“Alright, kind lady. Once again, I offer my deepest thanks for all 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
