The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Reksapati Suspicion
"Sorry, there’s a black smudge at the tip of your nose," Arya said, pointing at the black stain on the tip of his index finger."It’s okay," Ratnasari’s face flushed with embarrassment. The fierce demeanor she usually wore in her martial school melted away when treated so kindly by Arya."Well, the chicken is done," Arya said as he lifted the roasted chicken from the fire and placed it on a teak leaf he had prepared, wrapping it tightly."Why wrap it? You said it was done," Ratnasari asked, curious.Arya smiled and explained, "The purpose is to trap the smoke inside the chicken. It won’t escape and will infuse back into the meat. You’ll notice the difference once you taste it."Ratnasari nodded, listening intently. She realized there was still much to learn about the outside world. If she stayed confined within her martial school, she wouldn’t grow, especially when faced with situations where she had to leave the school one day.After a while, Arya unwrapped the teak leaf and pulled o
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Flatterer
Reksapati smiled and then walked out of his tent, calling for Suroto, who happened to be passing by.“What is it, Chief?” asked the man, who always carried a large mace wherever he went.“Tell all our members there’s been a change in plans. Tomorrow morning, at first light, we move out to attack!” Reksapati ordered.“You mean not today, Chief? Isn’t the location already nearby?” Suroto asked, puzzled.“I’ve learned from what happened yesterday, Suroto. Our men were slaughtered because we underestimated the situation. It’s already late afternoon. If we leave now, we’ll arrive at night, and we’ll have to search for their location in the dark, which we don’t even know. What happened yesterday also took place at night. They’ll have the upper hand in the dark, especially since they know the terrain better than we do,” Reksapati explained.“Chief, your foresight is remarkable. It’s no wonder you dominate the southern region,” Suroto flattered, nodding in agreement.Reksapati responded with
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Twin Devil Eagle Swords
Before Arya could ask, Sarwana began explaining. “The sword that girl carried once belonged to Reksapati, the leader of the Devil Eagle Sect. If I’m not mistaken, the sword’s name is The Twin Devil Eagle Swords. If the sword is in the forest, it’s highly likely that Reksapati isn’t far either.”Arya was stunned in disbelief. Of course, he was shocked to learn that the girl might be part of the Devil Eagle Sect. Yet, one thing left him utterly bewildered: he couldn’t deny that his heart had already become attached to someone who was the daughter of one of the prominent figures of a dark sect.“Does that mean they’re seeking revenge for the deaths of their members we slaughtered?”“Most likely,” Sarwana replied, a hint of regret in his voice. “And it seems one of their members escaped our massacre yesterday and reported back to Reksapati.”“So, what should we do now? Are we going to fight them like we did yesterday?” Arya asked. He still hoped the girl he met earlier wasn’t a member of
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Introducing oneself
Introduction"Why don't you eat that chicken thigh? Don't you like it?" she asked, opening the conversation."Eeh, um... That..." Ratnasari truly couldn't hold back her feelings. Her heart was pounding so hard when Arya sat beside her. Even speaking a sentence fluently was difficult for her."Um, what do you mean by 'um'?" teased Arya. He now understood that the beautiful girl had feelings for him—feelings that he also shared.The difference was, he could suppress his feelings and control his thoughts. While the girl was already trapped in her own emotions, making it hard for her mind to function normally.It was true what people said in the past—women tend to act based on their feelings first, while men prioritize their thoughts before emotions."I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat it later, when I get hungry," Ratnasari answered, making an excuse. She wouldn't eat the chicken, leaving it as a reminder for when she missed the young man beside her, even though it was spoiled and had maggots,
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Moments Before the Battle 1
Without thinking twice, Sarwana swiftly dashed off from the spot. Upon reaching the hut, Rengga and his two companions were still awake, waiting for the arrival of the two of them. They were all curious about the information that Arya and Sarwana would share next. After giving a brief explanation about the situation that would unfold the next day, Sarwana left the hut. The unmistakable, high-pitched call of the large ape echoed, waking all the apes from their rest. They knew it was a summons from their leader to gather. Inside the hut, the conversation continued between Arya, Rengga, and his two companions. The three of them were still curious about how many forces would be attacking them the next day. They were confused, their minds troubled by the thought that they were only five in number. Could they possibly face the Devils Eagle sect led by the notorious Black Eagle Warrior? Neither Arya, Rengga, nor his two companions were aware that something unexpected was unfolding b
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Moment Before The Batle 2
Arya, carrying his large mace, watched as Suroto paced back and forth, keeping a keen eye on the surroundings. The large earrings hanging from his ears swayed with each movement. In his mind, he regretted the order given by Reksapati to burn the forest, as now their own visibility was hindered. The thick smoke blocked their sight and made breathing more difficult.The large, bald man was concerned that the thick smoke could be used by their enemies to launch a surprise attack. If even someone like Sunarya could be killed, it was not impossible that the enemy could easily wipe out his men.Not long after, a member shouted, pointing at a tree. "What’s that?"Several others squinted their eyes, trying to see through the thick smoke. Though not entirely clear, they could make out a large ape glaring at them, sitting on a tree branch about 70 meters away from where they stood."Elder, that's the big ape!" one of the members shouted to Suroto.Running a bit, Suroto approached the member and
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Reksapati 1
Just like Arya, Ratnasari’s gaze was also fixed on the handsome young man who had captured her heart. Her shock could no longer be contained. Her mouth hung open, especially when their eyes collided."Why is he on the opposing side?" she thought, her heart sinking.The beautiful girl’s inner turmoil was clear. Her fierce demeanor seemed to disappear in front of Arya. Like the handsome young man, she had no idea what to do if they were forced to meet in battle this time.As a daughter, she was obliged to help her father. But as a girl in love, how could she bring herself to hurt the young man who had won her heart? At one point, she even thought that she would rather die than kill Arya.Arya walked towards Sarwana and stopped right next to the large ape. "Let me face their leader!"Sarwana glanced to the side before looking ahead again, "Are you sure?""If I wasn’t sure, why would I ask to fight him?" replied Arya. In truth, he said that to avoid fighting Ratnasari."Very well, if that
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Reksapati 2
Returning to the battle between Reksapati and Arya. The leader of the Devils Eagle sect hissed in frustration. Neither his long-range nor close-range attacks could land a solid hit on his opponent. Even when they did, they only managed to slightly graze the skin of the handsome young man. Amidst the frustration and emotions clouding his mind, there was a deep admiration for his opponent. In his rough estimation, the brilliance of the young man surpassed that of his own daughter, even by a great margin. Certainly, Reksapati had a reason for thinking this way. The fact that the young man had been able to match his attacks, which had been going on for a while, was enough of an indicator for Reksapati’s judgment. There was even a fleeting thought of uniting his daughter with the handsome young man. If they were to join forces, it wasn’t impossible for them to dominate the martial world in the years to come. But Reksapati was aware that this was a mere wild thought that could neve

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’
Arrogance
Like being struck by lightning, Queen Dyah Pitaloka was half shocked. At that moment, her son had prostrated at her feet. It was something he had always done before going hunting.Still in disbelief that her son’s memory had returned, Queen Dyah Pitaloka bent down and held Arya’s shoulders."Rise!" she said softly, with a maternal tone. She felt her feet wet from the tears flowing from her son’s eyes.Arya stood up and knelt in front of Queen Dyah Pitaloka. There was a slight regret about confessing that his memory had returned, but he couldn’t hold back the turmoil in his heart when he saw his mother crying."Rise, my son. I knew you would come back to me," said Queen Dyah Pitaloka. Her wide smile reflected the happiness she was feeling in that moment.Arya stood up. He looked at his mother’s gentle face and then embraced her tightly. The mother and son cried, sobbing in a release of the immense happiness they were feeling.Even
Confession
A knock on the door made Arya rise to his feet. His steps moved instinctively as his fingers reached for the doorknob and opened it. Ratnasari and Dewi were already standing outside Arya’s room. Their smiles bloomed with happiness. Dewi, who already had a naturally beautiful face, looked even lovelier after being properly cleaned. Arya crouched down in front of Dewi and looked closely at the little girl's face. I'm sure Mother will like this little girl, he thought to himself. “Dewi, from today on, I accept you as my sister. Anyone who treats you badly is asking for trouble with me. I will not let anyone hurt you or make you cry,” said Arya. “Is what you said really true, Kakang?” Dewi asked curiously. “Do I look like I’m lying?” Arya asked in return. Dewi looked into Arya’s eyes for a few moments, then shook her head. A second later, she ran into Arya’s embrace as he
Dewi’s Story
The woman shook her head. "I’m not like the other townspeople who heartlessly let that little girl go hungry. Even if not directly, I often gave her food. I was afraid that if the others found out, they might shun me too.""How did you give her food without doing it directly?" Arya frowned. "Was it through someone else?""If it were through someone else, that would be suicide. In a situation like this, I couldn't trust anyone." The owner of the eatery gave a bitter smile."So, how did you do it?""That little girl often scavenged for food in the trash, so I would place food in the bin outside so she could find it. It’s filthy, I know, but I had no other way," the woman explained, then fell silent for a moment."But for some reason, I haven’t seen her for the past two days, so it feels pointless to keep leaving food there," she added, puzzled."So that’s the story?" Arya slowly nodded his head. "You’re truly a kind perso
Injustice
The little girl was puzzled by the demeanor of the young man who was hugging her. She even heard an apology softly whispered from his lips. Arya quickly wiped away his tears when he saw Ratnasari and Princess Laras walking toward him. He didn’t want to appear weak in front of them. But it was too late. Both of the beautiful girls had already seen Arya crying while embracing the little girl. “What’s wrong, Arya? Why are you crying? And who is this little girl?” Princess Laras bombarded him with questions. Ratnasari only gave a faint smile, seeing the princess of King Wijaya Kusuma unaware of Arya’s tender heart—how he couldn’t bear to see others suffer. Especially now, as the one in his arms was just a small child. “She’s an orphan and begs just to survive,” Arya said, then lifted the little girl into his arms. Princess Laras was stunned. She hadn’t expected that the man who had
Arya’s Tears
Wisnu scratched his head, confusion clearly etched across his face."Grandfather, Elder Mandalasura and the Cakrabuana Kingdom suffered a defeat. My men reported as much, and Elder Mandalasura’s whereabouts remain unknown until now."Sastra Wijaya frowned, disbelief flickering in his eyes at the news he had just received.Yet he saw no sign of deceit in Wisnu’s expression or gaze.In the hierarchy of black sects, Mandalasura only held the seventh rank. However, in terms of members, the Shadow Demon Sect was notably large for a black sect—ranked among the top five overall.His eyes stared into the distance, sensing something deeply wrong—and cursing himself for not keeping up with developments in the kingdoms he intended to conquer.“Was there a white sect that aided the Jaya Buana Kingdom?”“No, Grandfather. The Jaya Buana Kingdom relied solely on its own forces,” Wisnu replied.Sastra Wijaya stroked his fine-be
