"Black Eagle's Strike!"Sastro was startled and tried to block the attack, but his efforts were in vain. Ratnasari's body suddenly twisted sideways and spun rapidly, slashing her sword toward the back of the old man's neck.Aaagh!A scream of death escaped the wrinkled lips of the elderly man.Ratnasari's attack was so swift and precise that Ki Sastro didn't even realize the movement had changed until it was too late.The old man collapsed to the floor, his neck nearly severed. Blood poured out profusely, pooling on the ground and adding a pungent metallic scent to the air.Ratnasari slid her twin swords back into their scabbards and walked toward Arya."Compensate the owner of this eatery for the damage," Arya instructed.Ratnasari nodded and approached the middle-aged woman who stood frozen, staring blankly at the destruction of her business."I apologize for the damage caused, ma’am. I will compensate you," Ratnasari said with a faint, polite smile etched on her red lips."There’s
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Merchant's Request
"Who are they?" Ratnasari asked curiously."I don't know. We need to stay alert; they could be part of the bandits," Arya replied. His sharp eyes darted toward Chandra, who had been silent all this time. Even when the three of them were bracing for the arrival of strangers, the young man dressed in fine clothes remained unresponsive.Moments later, the man who had stopped their journey finally halted his horse near the cart."Excuse me, sir. May I ask where you are headed?" the man inquired."We’re going to the Sword of Light Sect," Arya replied. Judging by the sword the man carried, Arya suspected that the man on horseback was also a warrior."And where are you headed, Sir?" Arya continued."Actually, I’m escorting the merchant behind me through this forest," the man answered, glancing behind him.Arya and Ratnasari looked at the approaching horse-drawn cart that was now close to their position."So, are you planning to pass through this forest with us?" Arya guessed."That’s right,
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Robbery in the Middle of the Forest
"Who are you? Get down now!" shouted one of the men."What if I don’t want to? What will you do?" Arya teased while snapping a tree branch into small pieces."You bastard, get down here now!" another man yelled angrily."Hehehehe... Why don’t you come up here instead?" Arya chuckled, playing with their nerves."Climb up and catch him!" ordered a voice from behind.One of the men eagerly began climbing the large tree. But as he reached halfway up, he let out a loud scream and suddenly fell to the ground, hitting the earth with a sickening thud.Seeing their comrade fall, two men rushed to check on him. They were shocked to find that he was already lifeless."He's dead," one of them confirmed grimly."Impossible! Falling from that height wouldn’t kill him!" the other argued as he stepped closer.Just as the man crouched to inspect the body, he felt something pierce through his neck. The intense burning pain was overwhelming, and he collapsed lifelessly to the ground, unable to fight for
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Eradicating the Bandits
Without looking, the leader of the bandits spun around and slashed his sword in one swift motion.Clang!The loud sound of clashing metal echoed through the silent night. The tall, broad-shouldered man winced in pain as his sword vibrated violently, leaving his hand numb from the force that traveled through his bones.His eyes widened in disbelief when he realized that the one who blocked his attack was a young woman of stunning beauty. He was so shocked that he couldn’t suppress his reaction.“Impossible!” he muttered under his breath.“What’s impossible? The only certainty tonight is that you’ll meet your end!” Arya growled as he emerged from behind Ratnasari.The sound of a gulp was faint but audible. The Adam’s apple of the tall, burly man bobbed up and down, a clear sign of his fear reaching its peak. His knees trembled, and cold sweat drenched his clothes.“This forest is no longer safe with you and your men around. Starting now, the terror you’ve wrought comes to an end. Don’t

If fate brings us together again, I’d like to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude.""There’s no need to think about that, Sir. Isn’t it our duty as humans to help one another?" Arya smiled warmly at Sora. "Now, we must continue on our journey.""You must continue too. Until we meet again," Sora replied, waving his hand.The two horse-drawn wagons went their separate ways. Sora took the straight path toward the capital city of the Jayabuana Kingdom, while Arya and the others headed toward the Sword of Light Sect.The journey, now relatively close to its end, allowed them to relax slightly. The sect, located at the foothills, was no longer far away. The sight of the tall hill fr
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Tournament Postponement
"How many days does it take to reach the Capital City?" Arya continued to ask."If you take the main road, it will take about five to six days. But there’s a shortcut that can reduce the journey to just three days," Rengga replied."That means I’ll depart tomorrow at noon!" Arya declared firmly. His gaze then shifted to Chandra. "Don't worry, Chandra. Your grudge will be avenged.""I’ll go with you, Arya," Ratnasari interjected.Arya smiled and nodded.Meanwhile, Sumoharjo’s group finally arrived at the forest where the battle between Arya and Sutojoyo had occurred. Some minor setbacks delayed their journey.Sumoharjo frowned as he observed the damage in the forest. The ominous feeling he had been trying to suppress resurfaced as his eyes took in the scene before him."Order your men to spread out and find out what caused this destruction!" he commanded Tunggul Anom."Yes, Elder." Tunggul Anom nodded and summoned one of his subordinates.After receiving brief instructions, the member
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon A Shocking Attack
Together with Ratnasari, Arya chose to train not far outside the Mystic Staff Sect. The handsome young man deliberately picked an area outside the sect complex to focus better on his training. Besides, he wanted to learn Ratnasari’s techniques and help her refine them further.By the fifth day, something unexpected shocked everyone inside the Mystic Staff Sect.The wooden gate suddenly shattered, producing a loud crash. The explosion startled everyone in the sect.Dozens of members who were practicing immediately stopped their training and ran toward the gate. Rengga, who also heard the commotion, was no exception. The 30-year-old leader of the Mystic Staff Sect sprinted to see what was happening.As the dust cleared, carried away by the wind, dozens of members from the Flaming Spear Sect could be seen standing in front of the ruined gate."What have you done?!" Rengga shouted angrily, his sharp gaze directed at the dozens of red-uniformed men who had disrupted his sect.Hahaha!Tungg
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Sumoharjo's Emotions
Arya smiled at the confusion on Ratnasari's face. "Just answer as you see it, and don't hide anything."Ratnasari nodded slightly and took a deep breath. Her gaze returned to Sumoharjo, who was still intently staring at her."What he said is true, Elder. And we were the ones who deliberately lured Elder Sutojoyo away from the Devil's Eagle sect. In essence, it was the two of us who trapped him."Arya looked shocked at Ratnasari's additional words. He had hoped she wouldn't get involved in the fight that was about to begin. "Why did you say that?""Why not? Isn't it true that we were the ones who trapped Sutojoyo? Don't take all the responsibility for what we did alone," Ratnasari replied.For some reason, Sumoharjo still couldn't believe that the handsome young man had killed Sutojoyo. It was possible they were both pretending to cover up the identity of the one who actually killed his close friend."Don't think I believe the charade you've put on. And you, Ratnasari, even though you'

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’
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
