The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
First Night

"That's exactly what you said, Kangmas Prabu..

Everyone will experience a twist of fate and age. As mortal beings, we cannot escape the circle of life that has been outlined. The young will be old, the small will be great and the old will be replaced by the new. It was a circle of life that would last throughout the ages.

With this marriage, Tejo Laksono will experience a period of life filled with household turmoil. Hopefully he can be the head of a fair family for all his wife's wives", the prayer of Dewi Anggarawati ended his speech which was greeted with a smile by Prabu Jayengrana. The two looked back at Panji Tejo Laksono and the four young women who were now sitting on the stage of the pelaminan decorated with various flowers and a series of beautiful yellow janur.

"Oh Sanghyang is the sole ruler of the universe..

The True Immortality in Swargaloka..

Give your blessing and blessing to Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono, to Gusti Putri Ayu Ratna, to Gusti Putri Dewi Wulandari, to Gusti Putri Gayatri, to Gusti Putri Luh Jingga..

Unite their hearts in the everlasting bond of marriage until the time when Sang Hyang Yamadipati carries out his duties. Give them good offspring and become the golden banner of the Kingdom of Panjalu in the future. Oum Santi Santi Oum", Maharesi Wimana continues to flick her right hand towards the incense white smoke from the top of the golden bokor in her left hand. The sweet-smelling white smoke moved towards Panji Tejo Laksono and the four women who were sitting quietly following the series of wedding rituals they performed.

As a sign that the wedding ritual has been completed, Maharesi Wimana took a pinch of yellow rice near various offerings arranged in such a way in front of the pamujan sanggar. The old hand of Maharesi Wimana then applied the yellow rice to the forehead of Panji Tejo Laksono until some yellow rice grains stuck to the forehead of the young prince. Successively, the Wimana Maharesi did the same to Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng, Gayatri and Luh Jingga.

But there is a different one. When gluing yellow rice to the forehead of Ayu Ratna, Maharesi Wimana looks like a shock to see the forehead of the beautiful woman from the Duchy of Kalingga. But the old hermit from the Ungaran Mountain Hermitage hurriedly dispelled his shock and quickly stuck yellow rice on Ayu Ratna's forehead.

After everything was finished, Maharesi Wimana immediately looked towards Panji Tejo and the four beautiful women who were now officially his wife.

"Now, you have officially become husband and wife. In closing of this wedding ritual, give prostration to the Great Hyang and then give devotion to your parents.

May Hyang Agung always give peace and happiness to your family", Maharesi Wimana immediately raised her right hand.

Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono, Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng, Gayatri and Luh Jingga immediately knelt before the Deity Statue of Vishnu and worshipped reverently. Finished it, the four of them immediately approached Prabu Jayengrana and Dewi Anggarawati who were still sitting in his place.

"Begging the blessing of our marriage, Kanjeng Romo Prabu, Biyung Ratu", saying as such, Panji Tejo Laksono and his four wives immediately worshiped Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati.

Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati smiled and stood up. Both of them shrugged their shoulders one by one to stand in line with them.

"Restu Romo is always for you. May Hyang Agung always bless your household", said Prabu Jayengrana while patting the right shoulder of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Biyung will also always pray that you will always be happy. And one more, quickly have a baby", added Queen Dewi Anggarawati with a meaningful smile. Hearing those words, Panji Tejo Laksono instantly blushed his face. I don't know what's on his mind right now.

After honoring Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati, Panji Tejo Laksono along with Ayu Ratna approached Duke Aghnibrata and Empress Sukmawati. They saluted the ruling couple of the Duchy of Kalingga. Empress Sukmawati once shed her tears as Panji Tejo Laksono and Ayu Ratna bowed to her.

After that, Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri immediately approached Tumenggung Sindupraja. The thick-bodied middle-aged man hurriedly blocked the intentions of Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri who wanted to kowtow to him.

"Why Romo Tumenggung Sindupraja? This is my duty as your son-in-law" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

"That's not necessary, Prince Nakmas..

Seeing that Prince Nakmas is ready to marry only my daughter, Uncle is already very happy. With this my responsibility as a parent for Gayatri is dead. I can only hope that Nakmas Prince will always make Gayatri happy" said Tumenggung Sindupraja with teary eyes.

"Romo Tumenggung, not Uncle anymore. Remember now you are the in-law of Panji Tejo Laksono", said Panji Tejo Laksono reminding Tumenggung Sindupraja to change his habit of mentioning uncle's name. Hearing those words, Tumenggung Sindupraja immediately smiled broadly. Gayatri was so moved to see the attitude of Panji Tejo Laksono who wanted to respect his father even though his father was a subordinate of her husband.

After that, the newlyweds in arak around the City of Kalingga Duchy to be exhibited to all residents of the city. Thousands of residents of Kalingga City spilled on the highway that became the route of Panji Tejo Laksono and his four wives.

After the parade around the city, the next event is a big meal with the residents of Kalingga Duchy City and closed with folk entertainment that takes place in the Kadipaten Kalingga City square. All the people of Kalingga Duchy City rejoiced in welcoming Panji Tejo Laksono's wedding.

At the Duchy of Kalingga honorary guest hall, Prabu Jayengrana with Dewi Anggarawati met Panji Tejo Laksono and his four wives.

"My son, Tejo Laksono..

Romo and your Biyung are going back to Kadiri. Take good care of yourself, yes Ngger Cah Bagus", said Dewi Anggarawati while stroking the cheek of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Send my greetings to everyone at Katang-katang Palace, Biyung Ratu.

Tejo Laksono will surely soon follow back to Kadiri after a week after this wedding", Panji Tejo Laksono salutes Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati followed by his wives.

"If there's anything, Father will inform you of Aji Bayu Swara, Tejo Laksono.

Be nice here, enjoy your newlywed days", Prabu Jayengrana smiled knottedly finished speaking. After that, the mouth of the Maharaja of Panjalu was seen chattering spells. A moment later, thin white smoke covered the entire body of Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati. Along with a sudden gust of wind that blows slowly, the bodies of Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati disappear from the eyes of Panji Tejo Laksono and his four wives. The four wives of Panji Tejo Laksono were amazed by the greatness of canuragan science possessed by the Maharaja of Panjalu.

After Prabu Jayengrana and Queen Dewi Anggarawati disappeared, Ayu Ratna immediately turned to Panji Tejo Laksono and his three other wives.

"Kangmas Prince,

Have you made a choice?", asked Ayu Ratna with a shy smile on the cat.

"Optional? What do you mean Cici Ayu? I don't understand", Song Zhao Meng aka Goddess Wulandari slightly frowned at the word Ayu Ratna said.

"Yes choice, Wulan.. Prince Kangmas can't possibly sleep together with all of us tonight", a mischievous smile etched on Ayu Ratna's pretty face. Hearing that, Song Zhao Meng immediately turned to Gayatri and Luh Jingga. The three beautiful women nodded at each other and smiled knotfully. They understood what Ayu Ratna meant.

'You think Prince Tejo Laksono Kangmas is still a virgin, Kangmbok Ayu? Hihihihi, he has already handed it to me. Tonight let Prince Kangmas be with you so that you feel happy, inner Gayatri while smiling to yourself. The same thing was going on inside the heads of Luh Jingga and Song Zhao Meng.

Mmmmmm..

"Because Kangmbok Ayu Ratna is the first consort of Kangmas Prince, then for tonight we give up Kangmas Prince Panji Tejo Laksono together with Kangmbok Ayu. But for the next night, according to the order then Wulandari will be the second. I am the third and Luh Jingga the fourth. It was a time allotment with Prince Kangmas that we all agreed on" said Gayatri who immediately got a nod of the head from Song Zhao Meng and Luh Jingga.

Hearing that answer, Ayu Ratna smiled widely. While Panji Tejo Laksono only shook his head to see the actions of his three wives.

The night is getting late. Panji Tejo Laksono has released a golden ear sumping with fern leaf tendrils in his ears while sitting on the edge of the bed bed that is prepared for his first night with Ayu Ratna. Finished removing the jewelry, Panji Tejo Laksono turned to look at Ayu Ratna who was still silently pecking on the bed.

"You why Dinda? Kog was quiet?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono as he raised his foot on the bed.

"I-I'm Kangmas anu.. eh what is that anyway?", Ayu Ratna's tone of voice stammered as she answered a question from her husband. Although they have often been together with Panji Tejo Laksono, but on the first night of their marriage, Ayu Ratna groggy amazing. The knot smile engraved on the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono saw the nervousness of the wife he had just married.

"Anu what is Dinda Ayu? You don't have to be afraid something's gonna happen. Come here to get closer to me", Panji Tejo Laksono shifted his sitting position beside Ayu Ratna's body. Slowly Panji Tejo Laksono's hand grabbed the hand of Ayu Ratna who looked trembling. Ayu Ratna slightly tiptoed as she felt Panji Tejo Laksono's hand clutching her fingers. Gently, Panji Tejo Laksono grabbed Ayu Ratna's slender waist and laid her down on the bed.

To ease Ayu Ratna's nervousness, Panji Tejo Laksono stroked the beautiful woman's hair while saying, "Take it easy. Enjoy our night together. Kangmas will teach you a game".

Hearing that, Ayu Ratna immediately looked up at Panji Tejo Laksono who was now preparing to perform his duties as a husband. Ayu Ratna asked innocently,

"What game is Kangmas?"
