The Fighter
Chapter 225 Devotion
Inside the royal palace of Laksa
Prince Abhiseka looks very satisfied to observe the royal soldiers, who have completed the task to clean the kingdom from the rubble, due to the fight with the soldiers of Prince Prakosa. Niken Kinanthi, with several men sent from the Suroloyo Trah, also arranged for some to revamp and make the palace a comfortable place to live in, and bring the leadership of the kingdom back.
"Thank you Nimas Niken Kinanthi.., for the willingness to help become this palace again looks beautiful." the appearance of Prince Abhiseka surprised Niken Kinanthi who was standing directing some people. The young girl looked back, then smiled welcoming Prince Abhiseka's arrival.
"Don't be considered to be something big Prince. All I do, because we are as friends. Plans for the next few days, me and some people from the Suroloyo Trah will return to our origin Prince. After visiting the Bhirawa Trah, I will also return to the padhepokan in the hills of Mount Jambu, to help Nimas Rengganis develop the padhepokan." hearing Niken Kinanthi's explanation, Prince Abhiseka frowned. The man recalled the words spoken by Niken Kinanthi as they fought with Prince Prakosa. Unasked, the young girl had already loudly introduced herself as the husband of her. However, at this time, Prince Abhiseka became hesitant, because at least Niken Kinanthi had not mentioned it with him.
"Is there no other important thing on your mind Nimas Niken..?" Prince Abhiseka asked the young girl again.
"There is no Prince.., my decision to serve in the Padhepokan of Mount Jambu, I've talked to my father. That thing we did, to make up for the mistakes I had made a few warsa ago against kang Wisang. This is all we believe in to make me able to heal the wounds in the heart of Kang Wisang and the family, Prince." while smiling wryly, Niken Kinanthi conveyed his thoughts, saying,
"Is that what you really expect..?? Is not tucked away the desire to also be a companion Wisanggeni life?" suddenly there was jealousy in the words of Prince Abhiseka.
Niken Kinanthi turned back to Prince Abhiseka with a frown. The young girl was astonished by the question posed by the man. If the question was thrown by an outsider, perhaps not disinclined, Niken Kinanthi would beat up the person. But this time, a prince asked him this.
"Prince Abhiseka.., for now, the feeling of having Kang Wisang as his wife, slowly began to wear off. Seeing how faithfulness and sacrifice Nimas Rengganis, a proud daughter of the Trah Jagadklana accompanied the man, threw that intention out of my heart. Moreover, in addition to Nimas Rengganis, there is still a Maharani who also has the same status as Nimas Rengganis. I will not be a woman who is greedy Prince.." a smile appeared on the lips of Prince Abhiseka heard the words of Niken Kinanthi. Unexpectedly, without asking permission from the woman next to him, Prince Abhiseka's hand grabbed both hands of Niken Kinanthi and then gave a kiss on the back of her hand. The young girl looked extremely shocked by the treatment the Prince had given her. But when the girl was about to withdraw her hand, Prince Abhiseka tightly grasped it instead.
Seeing the treatment, the people who were there immediately left the place. They gave the Prince a chance to express their heart to Niken Kinanthi.

"If what you said at the time was serious, I'd like to ask you for Nimas. We must immediately tell this to the father and the queen's mother. Nimas Niken Kinanthi accompanied me to be my wife all the time. If you want me to ask Wisanggeni's permission, I will. Although for now, we don't know how our friend's condition is." Prince Abhiseka reiterated his wish.
"Prince.., as I said. My desire right now is to get full pardon for my past mistakes. It was all I wanted, and by devoting my life to the college run by Kang Wisang's family, I felt like they would forgive me absolutely." unwilling to give rise to the constant hope of Prince Abhiseka, who was the only one of the children of his family, Niken Kinanthi conveyed his thoughts.
Prince Abhiseka smiled, according to what was also his wish, the man also had no interest or ambition to remain in the kingdom of Laksa. Even with the rebellion that will be carried out by Prince Prakosa and successfully thwarted, he also still felt objection to replace the father of prabu holding the reins of power. When King Achala forced him to succeed, Prince Abhiseka already had his own ideas.
"Nimas.., don't think too much for now. I will accept your terms.., but first.., we must find the existence of our brother Wisanggeni. According to information from the soldiers, there were two men who took Wisanggeni away. Our hope is that these two men are well known to our brothers." Prince Abhiseka makes a decision, which is also the wish of Niken Kinanthi.
"Well Prince.., my permission to leave the palace first. Right now I will head to Trah Bhirawa to meet and suwan Ki Mahesa, to deliver a message from my father. The people of Suroloyo in the next few days, will also return to our Trah, because based on our observations, the palace can already be reopened as it was before the uprising. King Achala and the empress may soon return to the palace.. Prince." with a respectful attitude, Niken Kinanthi also did a farewell to Prince Abhiseka.
"I let you Nimas.., send greetings from my father and myself to all who are in the Bhirawa Trah, I cannot bring you Nimas.., because there is still much to be taken care of and completed in the kingdom. To the people of the Suroloyo Trah, the palace will give them a gift to thank you for helping the kingdom crush the rebels." Prince Abhiseka responded to the words of Niken Kinanthi.
Slowly Niken Kinanthi walked away from Prince Abhiseka, and the man followed the young girl behind him. In front of the gate of the royal palace, Niken Kinanthi nodded his head, then jumped leaving Prince Abhisheka who was still standing in his place. The man only smiled wryly, then turned around back towards the royal palace.
