The Fighter
Chapter 342 Getting Escort
Just as the two young men finished cleaning their bodies by soaking in a wooden tub, the door of the room where they rested was knocked from the outside. Without saying much, the two young men almost simultaneously opened the door of the room. It just so happened that the bodyguards prepared two rooms side by side for the two of them.
"What's the matter uncle.., are we ready to leave right now?" as soon as he opened the door, a bodyguard was seen standing outside the door of the young boy's second room. Bhadra Arsyanendra asked him.
"As we said earlier Raden Bhadra. The soldiers were ready to provide an escort for Raden's return to the palace. The servants have prepared everything for Raden's arrival, we hope that Raden Bhadra and Den Bagus Ashan will immediately prepare and follow us." with a polite word, the bodyguard conveyed his intentions.
"Are not too flashy and exaggerated uncle? Not that uncle knows, how the current state of Logandheng kingdom is. The king has been replaced, and the kingdom continues to be in civil war. Whether by preparing the soldiers to provide escorts to me, will not be the interest of the people at my arrival." unwilling to cause a furore over his arrival, Bhadra Arsyanendra implies rejection in his phrasing, he said,
Chakra Ashanka smiled at the words of the two men. In his heart, the young man confirmed the service provided by his bodyguards and soldiers. But also can not blame the little boy, because as soon as the young boy knew Bhadra Arsyanendra, the little boy did not like the welcome that looks electrifying. Chakra Ashanka feels that this is the moment, not the time to express an opinion.
"What do you think Brother Ashan?" suddenly Bhadra Arsyanendra asked the young man a question.
"It is not my authority to answer Raden Bhadra. Ask the guards and soldiers, perhaps by following their advice, they can make their hearts become more loyal to Raden Bhadra." Chakra Ashanka smiled wryly, the young man spoke up.
"Don't refuse our request raden Bhadra. Observe our longing to serve the family of the late king. Let's follow us.." Unexpectedly, the two bodyguards dropped both knees on the floor, making a plea to the little boy.
The people who were in the inn, looking questioningly at the scene. They looked at each other, and suspected each other. Suddenly unwittingly, the innkeeper came from outside the inn. Apparently the person saw the existence of some royal soldiers, as well as the golden carriage that was outside the inn, making the person wonder. Seeing the presence of the two bodyguards sitting in front of Bhadra Arsyanendra and Chakra Ashanka, the couple immediately rushed to them.The two men suddenly dropped their feet on the floor, and the two men suddenly dropped their feet on the floor, and following the bodyguards kneeled in front of Bhadra Arsyanendra.
"Pardon us Princes.., forgive us for not recognizing the Prince's whereabouts in our inn. As the people of Logandheng kingdom, we long for the tranquility and peace of this kingdom again. Just like when the king was still leading the kingdom." The married couple made an unexpected request, and,
Not wanting to cause a stir in the inn, Bhadra Arsyanendra immediately lifted the shoulders of the man who was resting in front of him.
"stop your behavior uncle, alright I will immediately squabble from this place. I will follow my uncle back to the kingdom." After successfully getting the couple to stand up, Bhadra Arsyanendra immediately stepped out of the place. The little boy did not want the atmosphere in the inn to be crowded, and increasingly announced about his return to the kingdom of Logandheng.
Without saying much, Ashanka's chakra and the two royal guards, immediately followed the prince's footsteps out of the inn.

Ashanka Chakra's eyes widened to see many people already standing in front of the inn, and when they saw the presence of Bhadra Arsyanendra, they simultaneously dropped their knees on the ground giving a welcome to the little boy. Bhadra Arsyanendra turned his back, asking for an explanation from both of his guards, but the two men pretended not to look at him.
"Welcome back to the city of Logandheng Prince.. We look forward to the Prince's return to bring back the glory and peace of this kingdom again." the men delivered the same words of hope as the innkeeper said.
The little boy raised his hand up, trying to stop the welcome from the people of Logandheng city to him. However, the citizens of the community still lowered their faces not daring to lift their faces upwards.
"O people of logandheng kingdom, stop your hopes for me. I am just a kid, unworthy of this high welcome and request from all of you. Get back on your feet, and give me a way to get to the carriage that has been waiting for me since. I can't promise, but I will try to restore peace in this kingdom again." confused to handle those people, Bhadra Arsyanendra finally said the sentence.
Hearing the words spoken by the little boy, the faces of those who were there seemed to have found hope. Those who felt they were blocking the path of Raden Bhadra Arsyanendra to the carriage of badges, immediately they shifted to give way to the four men. Ashanka's chakra immediately followed the little boy towards the carriage without saying much.
"Long live Prince Bhadra.., Alive Prince Bhadra.." as soon as raden Bhadra entered the carriage, many citizens cheered the little boy, accompanying his departure. To please them, the little boy waved his hand.
"Hurry and take us away from this place, uncle. Honestly, I don't like this kind of situation. I want to go anywhere without anyone recognizing me." Seeing the coachman still silent, Bhadra Arsyanendra immediately asked the coachman to run the train.
"Well Prince.., soon I set out." hearing the little boy's words, the chariot driver immediately whipped his horse slowly. Slowly the horse began to walk, and the soldier followed behind him. They were seen in a long procession along the road they were on. The people of the community increasingly crowded to the side of the road, because it was rare to see such a scene. Some time before, a convoy of troops passed through the place, showing the soldiers who were going to go to war. But this time the accompaniment is different.
"Raden.., I don't think it turns out your charm is very extraordinary in this kingdom." after being silent since then not talking, Chakra Ashanka gave the little boy a compliment with a smile.
"Does Brother Ashan think I like him? I don't like it, legs, I want to walk freely without anyone being able to recognize me." - with a dislike gaze, Bhadra Arsyanendra responded to the praise given by Chakra Ashanka.
"He.., he.., he. but it doesn't seem like Raden can. Accept the destiny that has been laid down on you. Live willingly, without complaint, so that everything can be a blessing." Chakra Ashanka gave a small laugh, giving support to the little boy.
