The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Envoy Padepokan Orchid Bulan

"Before Eyang apologized to you for bothering you, my grandson..

Look, Eyang wants you to inherit this territory and govern its government" Panji Gunungsari said expectantly. This old man who is almost 8 decades old is staring at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono as if he wants to hear the yes answer from his granddaughter.

Shocked Panji Tejo Laksono heard this speech. He really did not expect that this was the request from his eyes.

"The grandson apologized to Eyang earlier if the answer from me later would not please Eyang.

The bracelets have been handed over to Dhimas Manggala Seta to become the successor of Eyang Regent in the future. So please forgive thousands of mercy Eyang, your grandson can not grant the request of Eyang Regent", said Panji Tejo Laksono while respecting the Regent sepuh these Bracelets.

"Hhuuuufff...

The boy repeatedly came here and met me but always refused if I asked him to take my place, Tejo Laksono. And now you're rejecting him, too, on the boy's grounds.

Will the fate of the Bracelet District end under my rule?", muttered Panji Gunungsari lirih.

Also filled Panji Tejo Laksono saw the guts of the old man. But he also has no power to take the request for granted because this can cause turmoil in Panjalu society. The group that supports Jayawarsa Mapanji will definitely not stay silent to see this happen.

"Eyang Regent, please,

Honestly, the division of land for the sons of the king of Panjalu has been determined. This is also to make everyone feel satisfied with what is given to them. I have sat on the throne of the Duchy of Seloageng, Jayawarsa ruling in Bojonegoro, Mapanji Jayagiri who will be the son-in-law of Prabu Langlangbumi in Galuh Pakuan will get the right to rule the Duchy of Rajapura while Dhimas Manggala Seta is indeed empowered to sit on the throne of Gelang-gelang Regency.

But that can all change from Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana and Eyang Regent both agreed to change the division. So for now, I can not fulfill the request of the Regent until there is an order from Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana", reject Panji Tejo Laksono. But the answer actually makes Panji Tejo Laksono excited after hearing it.

"Is that what you're saying, my granddaughter? You are willing to continue the throne of the Regency Bracelets from which your father approved?", Panji Gunungsari said immediately.

Panji Tejo Laksono gasped as well at the old man's voice. In his heart he cursed because he had spoken wrongly. He was forced to nod.

'Releasing the Regency Bracelets to become my real land, will not be as easy as flipping a palm. There will definitely be a huge jolt among the courtiers for this matter. I'd better just follow the plot to deal with the possibilities that will happen'

Panji Gunungsari smiled happily with a nod of the head from Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Oh yes, if you pass through the Bukit Lanjar area, meet your great-grandmother. He'd be really happy if you stopped by. During the day, some of his students came here and brought a message from the old woman which contained why for a long time no relatives came to visit", said Regent Panji Gunungsari with a faint smile.

"It just so happened that I got a job from Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana to become an ambassador to Jenggala. Later I will take the time to visit my great-grandmother in Bukit Lanjar, Kanjeng Eyang", said Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

After chatting for a while, the two people of different ages immediately returned to Pendopo Agung Regency Bracelets. Panji Tejo Laksono again sat on the pendopo floor along with Tumenggung Sindupraja, Luh Jingga and Dyah Kirana while Panji Gunungsari re-reigned on his throne.

"All of you, has anyone not recognized the handsome face of my granddaughter?", the Regent as old as Bracelets pointed towards Panji Tejo Laksono while circulating his gaze around the Pendopo Agung Regency Bracelets.

"Please forgive Gusti Regent..

I have known Gusti Pangeran Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono long before meeting here.

Indeed, why does Gusti Bupati ask that?", asked Patih Dyah Sumantri the warangka praja Bracelets while respecting the Panji Gunungsari.

"There was a Bracelet-soldier officer who didn't recognize my grandson instead supported some market-rubber who were blackmailing people in the big market of Bracelet City.

Senopati Rumpaka, how do you educate and organize your men?", Panji Gunungsari turned towards the leader of the warrior Bracelets. The old man turned out to still have authority in the eyes of all residents of Gelang-gelang Regency. This is proven when his loud voice is able to make Senopati Rumpaka pale instantly.

"Please forgive Gusti Regent..

Soon will follow in accordance with the rules that apply", said Senopati Rumpaka immediately.

"From now on, I'm asking you to check every one of your subordinates. If anyone dares to pervert the position for his personal interests, lower his rank. If you are still unconscious, stop him from the Bracelet soldiery", the regent said as long as the white beard was immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Regent" said Senopati Rumpaka immediately.

After the daily pisowanan event of the Gelang-gang palace retainers was completed, Panji Gunungsari invited Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers to have lunch together before they continued their journey towards Seloageng.

Panji Gunungsari smiled thinly to release the departure of the grandson from the front gate of the palace of Gelang-gelang Regency . The old man's eyes continued to follow every step of the horse's legs ridden by Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends who moved towards the east where the Duchy of Seloageng was located.

The highway leading to the Duchy of Seloageng muddy as if just swept by a raindrop that is quite heavy. The remains of the puddles are still visible here and there. Several times the murky water splashed after being stepped on the foot of a horse ridden by Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers.

Once entering the monument to the boundary between the Bracelets and Seloageng located near a small river and dense forest, Panji Tejo Laksono stopped the pace of movement of his horse. His followers, Luh Jingga, Dyah Kirana, Tumenggung Sindupraja and 10 soldiers of the personal guard of the tumenggung immediately followed the steps of the prince.

In front of them, several medium-statured people with sangar faces were seen besieging two young women in white clothes with some bright yellow decorations like the full moon. It seems like some of these rogue people are a college because they wear similar clothes, dark brown and black. One of those who wore a tiger skin headband looked like the leader of the group of men earlier.

"What's the Prince's Kangmas?", asked Luh Orange immediately.

The banner of Tejo Laksono did not answer him but he pointed towards the fierce fight between them. There it is seen that even though the two young women were surrounded by the men, they were still able to compensate for the silat game of the bullies.

The banner of Tejo Laksono did not remain silent. With a movement of a body as light as cotton, the young prince from Kadiri was immediately bouncy high into the air, snatching a twig from the teak tree that began to sprout and re-landed on the back of his horse mount. Without waiting any longer, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately threw the teak branch towards one of the two young women in white clothes.

Whhhuuutth!

Plllaaaackdickk..

The throw of a small twig in the high level of energy directly toppled the man and he fell forward while screaming loudly.

The incident immediately provoked the attention of the gangsters and the two young girls dressed in all white clothes. The leader of the braking man who was the tallest man among the others immediately snorted loudly and brandished his sword towards Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers.

"Rancid bastard!

How dare you disturb the disciples of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa ha? Are you tired of living?!", hardik the leader of the man who roared it while calling the name Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa to scare Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends.

"Think your mouth, you bagundal!

Do you not know how to courtesy Gusti Pangeran Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono, the ruler of this Seloageng Duchy ha?", yelled Tumenggung Sindupraja who was furious with the attitude of the students Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa.

The big tall stocked man wearing a headband from the tiger's skin was silent for a while while staring at Panji Tejo Laksono from head to toe. A thin grin was engraved on his fussy face.

"If with his makeup that looks like a market mantri and his handsome face is the reason to call him the Duke of Seloageng, then I Surowono also deserve to be called as Mapatih Warigalit", teasing thick-bodied man named Surowono was immediately greeted with laughter from his followers.

Haha...

"Basic of insolent man!!

Your sharp mouth deserves a lesson!", snapped Tumenggung Sindupraja who immediately jumped down from his horse and darted quickly towards Surowono and the disciples of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa. The soldiers of his personal bodyguards immediately pull out their respective weapons and follow the steps of the father of the first concubine Panji Tejo Laksono.

The banner of Tejo Laksono who was about to stop the steps of his father-in-law was still quickly defeated by the movement of the officer as old as Panjalu. He only let out a long sigh while continuing to observe the fierce battle situation that was now plastered before his eyes.

Luh Jingga and Dyah Kirana do not want to miss. The two beautiful women who had been holding back were furious because of Surowono's brash attitude, wanted to come and beat up the arrogant man.

Whhuuuuugggh..

Plllaaaakkkkk plllaaaakkkkk..

Dhhaaaassshhh!!!

If the student of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa who gangred two young women in white clothes, now the situation turned around. In just a few moves, one by one began to be crushed by Luh Jingga, Dyah Kirana and the personal guards of Tumenggung Sindupraja.

Dhhiieeeeeshhhhhhhhhh...

Oouugghhhhhh!!!

Surowono roared loudly as Tumenggung Sindupraja's hard kick landed on his stomach. The big tall man had to fall to his knees on the ground while holding his aching stomach instead of playing. Seeing his opponent had reached the end of his knowledge, Tumenggung Sindupraja immediately twisted his body and returned to throw a kick towards the face of Surowono.

Dhhaasshhh!!

Surowono immediately fell down on the ground with his left cheek there is a protective stamp of the foot belonging to Tumenggung Sindupraja. His two front teeth were dislodged and from his mouth came fresh blood. He was already half slumped on the ground.

When Tumenggung Sindupraja was about to hit the head of Surowono, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately said out loud.

"It's enough Kanjeng Romo Tumenggung!

We don't have to dirty our hands for mules like them. Just release".

Hearing that remark, Tumenggung Sindupraja gave a cold snort. His anger that wants to beat Surowono until it can be instantly vanished once Panji Tejo Laksono said so. Likewise with Luh Jingga and Dyah Kirana and the soldiers of the personal guard Tumenggung Sindupraja. They immediately stopped their actions to beat the disciples of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa.

"This time I forgive you. If I arrive later I see you act again in the Duchy of Seloageng, I myself will take your lives.

Now go you guys!!".

The disciples of Padepokan Bukit Gandarwa immediately rushed to leave the place while picking up their seriously injured comrades, including Surowono who almost lost his life at the hands of Tumenggung Sindupraja.

After they left, two young women in white clothes who had witnessed the fight immediately approached Panji Tejo Laksono who was still sitting on the saddle of his riding horse.

"I'm sorry if we were presumptuous.

If you may know, is this king is Gusti Pangeran Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono, the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana from Panjalu? We are carrying out our duty to meet Prince Panji Tejo Laksono", asked the young woman who was slightly higher than one of them politely.

"True, I am Panji Tejo Laksono, the eldest son of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana.

Who are you and what business are looking for me?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono who was a little astonished because he felt he did not know the young women before also did not recognize the characteristics of the clothes they were wearing.

The beautiful young lady in white clothes immediately looked at each other for a moment with her friend before starting to speak,

"I'm a Yellow Orchid and this is a Lembayung Orchid.

We are the envoys of Padepokan Orchid Bulan on Bukit Lanjar".
