The Fighter
Chapter 190 Ignoring the Position
Armed with information and directions to the location indicated by Sumpeno and Santosa, Prince Abhiseka did not want to wait long. After finishing the meal, and talking with the two men, Prince Abhiseka immediately invited his two guards to immediately enter the forest. Unwilling to spend time taking care of the little things, the three people instantly took out the lives that blocked their path.
"Andhika. We have to make sure that the path we are taking right now does not deviate like the instructions given by the two men." Prince Abhiseka orders Andhika to make a matching clue using the help of a rope.
"Well Prince.., I'll do it soon." Jatmiko immediately moved in front of Andhika, the two people immediately stretched out a rope forward. After feeling the rope in the hands of the two people was straight, Prince Abhiseka immediately placed a small stone on it. Not waiting for long, it just slid down straight down.
"Tar.." a tremor appeared on top of the already stretched rope. Seeing that move, Prince Abhiseka smiled. Looks like this guy has found it in the right direction.
"Roll back the rope immediately! We'll walk straight ahead. There will be a hill in front of us. Hopefully it can be our fortune and soul mate, Wisanggeni as soon as we can find" said Prince Abhiseka. The two men immediately obeyed what Prince Abhiseka had ordered, quickly rolled the rope and put it back in a dagger.
"Are we going to keep walking today, Prince, not rest in the least?" Jatmiko who was already getting tired, asked the prince. Andhika glanced at Jatmiko while covering her mouth. The man laughed but made no sound.
"Why do you have to talk while circling Jatmiko? Why not directly tell me, if this time you want to rest immediately." without intending to get angry, Prince Abhiseka answered Jatmiko's question.
"He. he. he. , forgive the Prince. Honestly my legs are no longer strong, from yesterday we have not straightened our backs." with a red face holding in shame, Jatmiko responded to a question from the Prince.
"No need to be ashamed.., this kind of energy and strength alone, promised to be my bodyguard. Let's walk some time ahead, all looking for a place to rest. Not in this place, there will be many beasts lurking around us." intent on teasing Jatmiko, Prince Abhiseka spoke in a stern tone.
"Well Prince.." replied Jatmiko with a shy smile. To relieve his friend's embarrassment, Andhika placed her hands on Jatmiko's back.
"Tell me.., do you still have the energy not to walk forward? If it's not strong, I don't mind if I have to get you." Andhika seduces Jatmiko.
"Dukk.." Jatmiko responded to Andhika's words by pushing the man aside.
"Ha.., ha.., ha. nothing to be ashamed of Jat.." cried Andhika as she chased after Prince Abhiseka who had already walked ahead.
Prince Abhiseka stopped, and looked at the two guards who were joking while walking. Seeing the two enjoying the journey with happy hearts, the Prince also felt the happiness. Actually Prince Abhiseka never chose a bodyguard to go with him. But many of the royal warriors who enlisted to follow the Prince went on adventures. Just because Andhika and Jatmiko had been friends with the man since he was a child, the two bodyguards were always with Prince Abhiseka.

Near the river
After walking for a while, the three men finally arrived near the river. Seeing Jatmiko who already seemed troubled to lift her legs, Prince Abhisheka finally relented. The man raised his hands up, gesturing the two guards to stop.
"What is your attitude like? Take the beast, skin it and burn the flesh!" it turned out that Prince Abhiseka saw a rabbit running around the place. Unwilling to waste the opportunity, the man instantly sent out an attack to prey on the beast.
Andhika moved quickly, the man jumped forward. Not long after, the man had brought back two rabbits in both hands. Prince Abhiseka looked at him while sitting and leaning against a rock. Smiling, the man observed the way the two guards worked.
Quickly, Jatmiko cleaned up the leaf litter, then made a place to shelter and shelter. The two bodyguards worked very quickly, even Prince Abhiseka who managed to close her eyes did not see how the two worked.
In a moment, the fragrant smell of grilled meat burst into Prince Abhisheka's sense of smell. The man opened his eyes, then saw the meat that was ready to be enjoyed being prepared by Andhika. As he turned his gaze in another direction, Prince Abhiseka smiled. It turned out that the shelter had been prepared quickly by Jatmiko.
"Is everything ready?" Prince Abhiseka stood up and stepped foot to the two guards. The two people were shocked, not expecting that the Prince had already woken up.
"Already Prince.., please Prince sit down first. I will prepare a place for the Prince to do kembul bujono." Andhika stood up.
"Where are you going..? Sit you two down here near me. We'll enjoy this grilled meat together. No need to use a lot of tools, just this banana leaf. Let's enjoy it soon!" with one hand holding Andhika who was about to stand up, Prince Abhiseka immediately sat down to join them.
Andhika raised her face upwards, but saw Prince Abhiseka nodding her head. Finally Andhika ventured to sit beside the Prince.
The three young men ended up enjoying grilled meat and a hot drink of lemongrass ginger with a mixture of Javanese sugar. With their position in the middle of the forest, they ignored the relationship between the Prince as a lord, and the bodyguard as a courtier. Without hesitation, the Prince put the piece of meat into the place of Andhika and Jatmiko. After they looked at each other, without any more hesitation, the two bodyguards immediately enjoyed the meal.
After finishing the meal, the Prince and his two guards lay in the shelter that Jatmiko had prepared. They straightened their backs after days of long journeys. They also did not know what things they would encounter up ahead.
It was only a moment when they rested that there was suddenly the sound of an explosion from the top of the mountain.
"Jeglarr.." The sound of the explosion sounded very loud and echoed throughout the forest.
"What sound is Andhika.., is the mountain in front of it still emits magma and lava?" question mark, Prince Abhisheka asked Andhika.
"It doesn't seem like Prince Abhiseka.., are we going there to see him?" Andhika responded to the Prince's question.
"There's still time, as we wait for the follow-up reaction. Whether the sound was the sound of an erupting mountain or another phenomenon." Prince Abhisheka asked to wait.
