Princess Bestari Dhatu and Raden Hadyan Hastanta leave for Bukit Setangkai tonight. And incidentally Princess Andhini Andita and Jaya Satria have returned from Bukit Duri.
"Where are you going to go on nights like this?."
"We're going to a hillock with a rayi."
"What is there Raka?. And who are they?."
"Dinda bestari dhatu will treat someone there. He was named swordsman tapa simulung."
"What happened to Raka?. Is he sick?. So that yunda bestari dhatu invited there?."
"Did rayi prabu not tell you rayi jaya satria?. That the swordsman tapa simulung who had faced rayi in the past is currently experiencing severe pain."
"Maybe because we have difficulty communicating. Gusti prabu can't say raka. But I remember it. Raka, yunda be careful heading there. Because the road is a bit steep."
"Alright rayi. We're leaving first. Sampurasun."
"Rampes."
Raden Hadyan Hastanta and Putri Bestari Dhatu departed that night also to Bukit Setangkai. While Jaya Satria and Princess Andhini Andita entered the Royal Palace of Suka Damai.

Meanwhile somewhere. There was a warrior who was staring at the night sky. He remembered an incident that caused him to lose his right-hand vision. A very painful event for him. The incident that made him mention a name.
"Jaya satria. The masked swordsman who caused all this."
Yes, Jaya Satria. When he was involved in the war in the border area between the kingdom of Iron Jala with the kingdom of Rencong. He really did not expect to get a very tough opponent at that time.
"His strength is incredible. The magic he possessed, as well as the sword he wielded at that time had completely killed all the match-favoring warriors I commanded to kill anyone who dared to put up a fight."
His memory is still strong of that event. He will never forget who he is dealing with. It was the incident that caused him to lose his left eye.
Back to that time.
Jaya Satria at that time was on an adventure. Although he has been allowed by Prabu Kawiswara Arya Ragnala to be in the palace. But still, if he cannot reach his mother, it is better that he is currently on an odyssey. Incidentally, it was in the Iron Jala kingdom. He accidentally entered the territory of the kingdom that was setting up a tent. Surely Jaya Satria was attacked by them because it was considered an enemy spy.
"Stop!. What are you guys doing to me?. Why are you attacking me?."
"That's because you're a spy from the enemy. You dare to enter this territory."
"I don't understand what you're saying at all. I am neither your enemy nor your friend. If I were a spy, I wouldn't be this careless to enter enemy territory."
But suddenly a man dressed in war approached them and asked. What the hell is going on?. Who is that masked boy?.
"Why did you attack that masked man?."
"Please gusti patih. We attacked him because we suspected that he was a spy for a lusty enemy."
"Is that really young?. Why did you enter our territory?."
"Please forgive Gusti Patih. Indeed, the servant uses this mask because the servant does not want anyone to recognize the servant during the odyssey. Slave just happened to pass by. Slave accidentally entered this territory. What the hell is going on here?. So that the servant is suspected as the enemy?."
The man called Patih looked carefully at Jaya Satria.
"Don't show his face when wandering?. There were only two allegations of me being young. First you're a fugitive, second you're a king's son on a journey. Where are you?."
"So you're a Muslim?. The news that I heard, a Muslim many wanderings to spread Islam. Is that true?."
"Yes, that's very true wrestling. I'm sorry if I go into this territory, and make a big mess."
"So so?. Wouldn't it be more suspicious if you used this mask on the way?. Especially in this region there is a war."
"Indeed very risky wrestling patih. But I did not expect that in this region there was a war. Forgive me for once more wrestling."
"All right then. You can come with us, young man."
"Can I wrestle Patih?. Is the servant not suspected?."
"I invite you, if you are a wandering Muslim. It will be dangerous if you continue your journey to the kingdom of rencong. I'm afraid you'll be killed if you enter that territory."
"Thank you for the kindness of Gusti Patih."
"Just like a young man. And you'll be on your guard soon. Report to me if anything happens around this area."
"Sandika gusti patih."
Jaya Satria went with Patih Arya Sena to the tent. He will introduce Jaya Satria to Prabu Kanigara Laksana. Once in the tent, Prabu Kanigara Laksana wonders who the Patih Arya Sena brought.
"Who are you carrying?. Did you just catch a spy?."
"Please gusti prabu. This young man is not a spy. He said to the servant, if he was a Muslim traveler gusti prabu."
"Please gusti prabu. Name of jaya satria. A Muslim traveler gusti prabu."
"Then why did you bring him here, Patih?. Tell me why."
"Please gusti prabu. I only feel sorry for him if he goes on his way. We all know that the kingdom of rencong is a cruel people. Servants are afraid, this young man will be tormented by their misti prabu."
"Yes, it's dangerous for this young man to get into the region."
"Please gusti prabu. What is the cause of this war?. I'm sorry if I sassy ask Gusti prabu."
"Our region, the iron mesh kingdom is threatened by the rencong kingdom. They want to control our territory. They want to make us slaves of human trafficking. Of course as a king I rejected him."
"Astaghfirullah hal'azim o Allah. That was a very heinous act. Make others slaves, and will be tortured if they do not want to obey what they want."
"That's why we're fighting young people. We still have dignity and dignity as human beings. We won't let them enslave us in such a cruel way."
"If they did commit such atrocities. I beg you for permission to join Gusti Prabu."
Prabu Kanigara Laksana and Patih Arya Sena looked at each other. They did not expect that the young man wanted to join them?.
"Are you sure you want to join us?. This is a young war."
"I'm sorry Gusti prabu. A servant is a man who hates cruelty. I hope I can help Gusti Prabu. And I saw that when I entered here, there were some soldiers who were sick with skin. It is very dangerous to be taken to war. The soldier must be treated immediately, or the skin disease will spread to all other soldiers. That's very dangerous for the war that I'm about to wage."
"All right then, young man. Looks like you understand the science of medicine. Please help the young man."
Jaya Satria is accepted by Kanigara Laksana. Will he be in that war?. What will happen?. Findtheanswer. Don't forget to leave a comment, dear reader.
