The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Death in the Rain
Without another word, the beautiful girl walked into the inn.After Ratnasari entered, Arya's gaze shifted to the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect."It's a good thing you're already together. That means I don’t have to waste my time finishing you both off!"Sumarta and Jalu exchanged glances briefly before taking firm stances.Jalu drew his sword, while Sumarta fought barehanded, as his sword had been knocked far away by Arya's earlier parry."It's time for you to depart for the afterlife!" The Fire Dragon Sword suddenly emitted a bright red glow."We've spent more years in the martial world than you, young man. If you're trying to provoke us, forget it. Your words won’t affect us in the slightest.""Suit yourselves. Let’s see—today, will it be me or you who dies?"As soon as he finished speaking, Arya spun his sword and swiftly launched an attack.When Arya closed in, the two old men split apart and attacked from both sides. The young man, however, was unfazed by their formation.
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Confusion of Prince Purbaya
Arya walked toward his beloved and sat beside her. "Forgive me if I have hurt your heart. The situation earlier didn’t allow me to speak softly. The rain was pouring heavily, and in front of us were two warriors intent on killing us. I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me," Arya said softly. His fingers gently wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks."In my sixteen years of life, I have never been yelled at, not even by my own father. If it were my enemies shouting at me, I wouldn’t care. But you..."Arya placed his index finger on the lips of the beautiful young woman to stop her from speaking."I promise I won’t do it again. That was the first and last time," Arya said."Do you promise?"Arya nodded, a faint smile on his lips. The handsome young man then embraced Ratnasari tightly. "I promise."Meanwhile, at the palace, the soldiers hurried to meet Bayu Aji to report what they had just witnessed.The Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom was shocked upon h
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Escape
Right now, all he could do was wait for the two of them to arrive. But if the sun rose high overhead and his two warriors had still not returned, he had already decided to leave Kotaraja rather than suffer great humiliation. Especially since Commander Bayu Aji had already returned to the palace.However, his decision came with consequences—he would no longer be able to participate in the tournament, and his ambition to win the competition held by the Jaya Buana royal palace would be completely shattered.To this day, his anger toward Arya had not faded. If only he had never met that young man during registration, none of this would have happened, he thought bitterly.One thing he regretted was that he was currently in the capital of the Jaya Buana Kingdom. If he were in his father’s kingdom, he could punish that handsome young man as he pleased.But in his uncle’s kingdom, his power was limited. King Wijaya Kusuma was known as a wise ruler, and naturally, every decision had to go thro
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon A Title for Arya
After filling their stomachs, the two young and handsome warriors hurriedly left the tavern and made their way to the palace.Inside his private chamber, King Wijaya Kusuma was engaged in a serious conversation with Commander Bayu Aji regarding a report from the royal soldiers."So, the sword Arya used to kill one of the Black Eagle sect leaders emitted a reddish glow, Your Majesty. Based on my experience, a sacred weapon that releases a red aura must contain an element of fire," said Commander Bayu Aji.King Wijaya Kusuma smiled broadly. His suspicion that Arya was the one who had killed four dark-path warriors was not misplaced at all."Arya must be the one who killed those three Blood Demon members, Bayu. I have no doubt about it now. But to be certain, I will test him with some questions."Commander Bayu Aji smirked slightly at the king’s words.Not long after, there was a knock on the door of King Wijaya Kusuma’s private chamber.Commander Bayu Aji walked over and opened it. Ther
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Revenge
Bayu Aji was also eager to know Arya's true reasons. His sharp gaze was fixed on the young man who had greatly impressed him."I was destined to be someone who must be useful to others. There are still many out there who need my help, Your Majesty." Arya paused to take a breath, then exhaled slowly to steady his lungs."And the position of Grand Commander will not remain vacant, Your Majesty. I have an acquaintance who seems fit for the role. He possesses exceptional martial skills and a sharp mind," he continued."Who?" King Wijaya Kusuma straightened his posture, intrigued by the person Arya was referring to."Rengga, Your Majesty. He is the leader of the Sacred Staff Sect. However, he is currently deepening his martial arts training in a secluded place. Based on my estimate, his training will be complete in one or two months."King Wijaya Kusuma smiled broadly. His hope of reinstating the position of Grand Chancellor in his kingdom was reignited."I trust that the person you recomm
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Pros and Cons
After King Wijaya Kusuma decided to appoint Arya as the Grand Commander and Bayu Aji as the Prime Minister, preparations were rushed at an incredible pace. The soldiers worked tirelessly, exerting extra effort to ensure that everything was ready for the coronation ceremony the next day.However, the king’s decision sparked controversy among the court officials, especially those who had served the palace for a long time. The opposition believed that the ruler of Jaya Buana had been unfair in his decision. They argued that the position of Grand Commander should have been given to someone who had significantly contributed to the kingdom, rather than to a young man whose origins were unknown.A group of officials gathered in a lavish house to discuss the matter. They planned to protest King Wijaya Kusuma’s decision at the coronation ceremony itself.Before they knew it, the night passed swiftly, and morning arrived with the warmth of the sun illuminating the world.The hall where the coro
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Defense
"Why did I choose Arya for the position of Grand Commander? Because he has a pure heart and always wants to be useful to others. Arya also has intelligence far above your average minds. And third, Arya's martial arts skills surpass all of you—even me and Bayu Aji!" King Wijaya Kusuma's voice thundered through the hall.The room fell into complete silence. No one dared to make a sound, not even the faintest breath, for fear of disturbing the king’s presence."Do you think I made this decision without careful consideration? For those who question my judgment, I now give you the chance to challenge Arya. If you can surpass him in all three aspects, I will appoint whoever defeats him as the Grand Commander!"Kertapati and his like-minded officials fell silent, unable to utter a single word. This was the first time they had heard King Wijaya Kusuma speak with such firmness and authority."I never expected my subordinates to be so narrow-minded. It turns out that all this time, you have onl
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Heading to the Duchy of Jayakarta
The second goal had yet to be conveyed to his father, but he was certain that his father would support whatever he intended to do.On the seventh day after Arya's inauguration as the Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom, the soldiers assigned to retrieve Sanjaya finally returned to the palace.When the soldiers arrived at the Sacred Staff Sect to fetch him, Sanjaya was initially reluctant to leave for the palace. He clung to Arya's past words, believing that the handsome young man would personally come to get him.However, after the soldiers explained that Ratnanasari’s beloved had already been appointed as the Grand Commander and showed him Arya’s official uniform as proof, Sanjaya finally agreed to go with them to the Jaya Buana royal palace.One of the soldiers then escorted Sanjaya to the hall to meet Arya. However, the handsome young man was at the town square with Ratnanasari, watching the continuation of the tournament, which had reached the round of thirty-two. Sanjaya d

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’
