The Fire Dragon Sword
Seeking Support Saung Galah
"You got what I asked for?" Wardhana spoke softly to a young man sitting in front of her.
The young man nodded "Rightly you are sir, Aji seta used the royal money for his personal benefit, I found out after reading the Royal financial archive he made".
"You got the evidence?".
"Yes sir, even I managed to find his former subordinates who were hiding from the pursuit of master Aji seta who was trying to eliminate him to cover up his mistakes". The young man handed the scroll to Wardhana.
"Thank you for your help and sorry for getting you involved".
"You don't have to worry, sir, your father used to help my father a lot, it's not so much master". The young man bowed his head to Wardhana.
"Then it looks like I want to ask you a little more help Satria, can you take me to the hiding place of the person you call Aji's former subordinate, I want to ask him a few questions".
Satria nodded slowly "Let's come with me sir".
***
In a very large house full of guards, Aji Seta was talking
his adviser.
"You must make sure they support me by rejecting the plan His Majesty invited Malwageni official representatives to the royal event, if that happens it means Saung Galah recognizes the sovereignty of Malwageni and openly challenges Majasari".
His adviser nodded slowly.
"How could His Majesty want to find trouble with Majasari, it would be the same as starting a war that we cannot win".
"Maybe His Majesty was offended by Majasari's attitude to the duchy of Wanajaya and intended to teach Majasari tuan a lesson".
"But that does not mean we have to oppose Majasari" Aji's face hardened with anger.
Before long one of his soldiers went in to meet Aji Seta.
"Sorry sir, someone wants to meet you".
"Tell him I don't want to see anyone!".
"But sir..." The soldier paused for a moment, hesitating to say it. "He wanted to talk about the matter of the royal financial archive" the soldier looked down not daring to look at Aji Seta.
The look on Aji Seta's face changed instantly and stared intently at his soldiers.
"You know him?".
"Ti. no lord" The voice of the soldier trembled.
"Who dares to look for trouble with me" Aji seta snorted in annoyance.
"Let him enter" Aji seta slightly snapped at his soldiers.
"Okay sir" The soldier hurried away.
"Thank you for accepting me sir" Wardhana appeared behind the door.
Aji Seta scrunched her forehead, she felt that she did not recognize the person in front of her "Who are you?".
"Can I sit down first?" Wardhana's small smile makes Aji seta grow furious.
Wardhana chuckles a little at Aji Seta's reaction.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Aji Seta stared coldly at Wardhana.
"You're too hasty sir, let me breathe for a moment" Wardhana took a deep breath.
But it seems that Aji Seta already does not want to talk to Wardhana.he already understands Wardhana must know his actions using the Kingdom money for his personal interests.
"What do you know about the royal financial archive?" Aji Seta stared hard at Wardhana.
"Everyone sir, including some budget soldiers who only absorbed 40%, I don't know where the rest might be Royal Finance is in trouble but I don't know how His Majesty's reaction if he finds out this problem will lead to a weakening of Saung Galah's army amid a tenuous relationship with Majazari".
Aji Seta's face hardened hearing Wardhana's words that threatened her a little.
Ajiseta turned to his advisor who also stared intently at Wardhana.
"You better not think about eliminating me sir, right now my master is meeting Patih Jaladara at the palace. You may be able to eliminate me easily but if I disappear then this news will reach His Majesty".
"You threatened me with just the estimate you got from reading the Royal Archives? You'd better be careful or I'll report you because without permission to read Saung Galah's secret documents".
Wardhana chuckles to hear Aji seta threaten her.
"You want to bet? Not only do I have evidence of your involvement with royal money, but I also have eyewitness accounts of your actions".
"You!!".
"The person you've been looking for all this time is with me, I can't imagine what His Majesty would do if he knew about this matter".
Aji seta was silent for a moment
"Ah yes I forgot to introduce myself my name is Wardhana, I am a representative of Malwageni".
Aji Seta is shocked to hear Wardhana mention Malwageni.
"What do you want? the money?".
"It seems like you misunderstood master, I'm not the type of person who is interested in money. I'd like you to agree to His Majesty's plan of inviting Malwageni official representatives".
Aji Seta shook her head "You think you can take back Malwageni? do you know how powerful Majasari is?".
"You don't have to think about our problems, sir, do what I ask or my people will move. We've lost everything since the Malwageni collapsed and we'll do anything to reclaim the Malwageni including if it should destroy you" Wardhana said.
"You're gonna regret what you did to me today" Ajiseta ripped through the table.
"All decisions are in your hands, sir, I hope tomorrow there's good news I can hear".
Wardhana bows her head in a goodbye then steps away leaving Aji seta with a reddened face holding back anger.
"Bad!!!! You think I'll just be quiet treated this way". Aji Seta kicked off the Wardhana desk.
"Sir, shouldn't we just disappear?" Advisor Ajiseta speaks after Wardhana leaves.
"No! Don't be rash, do you know who he is? he is a sleeping Dragon belonging to Malwageni we will not be able to face him".
"Then what are our actions?".
Aji seta shook her head softly "Tell the others to agree with the plan of His Majesty the king".
"But sir.......".
"Just do what I tell you, do I seem to have any other options?" Aji seta snapped at her advisor.
"Good sir"
***
"Hamba please face the patih master" The commander of the pole mask looks down in front of Jaladara.
"wake up Lokajaya, have they arrived yet?".
Lokajaya nodded "They are outside the master".
"Bring them in".
"Good sir".
Before long Sabrang and Wijaya appeared and saluted Jaladara.
"Our respect to Mr. Patih" Wijaya bowed his head followed by Sabrang who was beside him.
"Sit down" Jaladara smiled and let them sit down.
"Thank you for meeting us sir" Wijaya smiled kindly.
"Ah don't hesitate, you've helped Saung galah several times where maybe I refuse your presence".
"Then about the invitation to the representative of Malwageni...." Jaladara seemed to think for a moment. "Right now the officials in Saung Galah are split in two, so that his highness has not been able to decide this".
"I can understand sir, this matter will have a big impact on Saung Galah in the future but I still hope you are willing to cooperate with us". Sabrang this time spoke after a while just being quiet and listening.
"I understand the Prince but with the current conditions we have to think about all the risks we have to face, please the prince understand our situation".
Sabrang nodded slowly, he turned to Wijaya for consideration.
"Ah yes Wardhana leave this to you sir" Wijaya gave a scroll to Jaladara.
Jaladara scrunched his forehead and then opened the scroll. The look on his face changed instantly after reading the scroll.
"Where did you get this?" Jaladara could not hide his surprise.
"I have other evidence of Saung Galah officials starting to flirt with Majasari. This situation is almost the same when Malwageni collapsed under attack from Majasari. I'll help you provide proof of their involvement if Saung Galah is willing to admit Malwageni".
Wijaya then stood up and bowed his head. "We excuse you, sir, all decisions are with Saung Galah".
