The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
First Princess

"Wait a minute Gusti Adipati..

Heh, soldier. When did you get this fire report?", Patih Mpu Waseso turned his eyes to the guard who had just reported.

"Said the soldier who came to the front of the palace gate, it just happened. Around the time I cooked rice. He said it was not an ordinary fire that used fire. There was a deep force that blew dozens of torches around the food storehouse" the soldier explained quickly.

Hearing that answer, both Duke Sasrabahu and Patih Mpu Waseso looked at each other. It was the time that Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers left the place with the disappearing knowledge used by Panji Tejo Laksono.

"That's right my guess, Gusti Adipati.

This is the work of Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono. This is in accordance with his talk before leaving" Patih Mpu Waseso said immediately.

"It was also Patih Waseso's Uncle..

If you see from the time of departure and the incident of fire, as well as the ability of science to disappear belonging to Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono, this is really the work. This young prince is really smart ", praise Duke Sasrabahu while rubbing his thick mustache.

"Hamba still did not understand what Gusti Adipati meant", Patih Mpu Waseso looked at the face of Duke Sasrabahu. Before speaking, the Duke of Sasrabahu immediately signaled to the palace guard soldiers to leave the place. The two soldiers immediately worshipped the Duke of Sasrabahu and soon departed from the ducal private quarters.

"Look at Patih Waseso's Uncle..

With this fire, of course, the Duchy of Anjuk Padang Palace will experience food shortages. Of course we must prioritize the food needs of the palace first, just thinking about the needs of the soldiers Uncle Mpu Sena.

In this way, the soldiers of Uncle Mpu Sena will lack food and of course will make Uncle Mpu Sena so can not increase training because they have to find supporters of their food needs in order to continue training soldiers.

These two warehouse fires are the turning point in the efforts of Uncle Mpu Sena who wants to undermine the authority of the Kotaraja Daha Government. Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono is indeed really smart in planning without having to be bothered with the war at this time" said Duke Sasrabahu with a faint smile.

"But Gusti Adipati, this fire will also make the food supply to the palace of the Duchy of Anjuk Field reduced a lot.

Is this also what Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono said to look for him to Seloageng?", returned Patih Mpu Waseso asked immediately.

"Absolutely..

This is the reason why I praised Gusti Pangeran Panji's cleverness Tejo Laksono in acting. Once the two targets fell. Uncle Mpu Sena who is dizzy with the food of the soldiers, and our request for help from Seloageng which directly makes us indebted to them.

He is extraordinary and deserves to be the next king of Panjalu ", concluded the Duke of Sasrabahu who made Patih Mpu Waseso understand.

The southern Duchy of Anjuk Farm...

Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers witnessed the fire of Anjuk Ladang Palace's food warehouse from a distance. The blaze of the red whiz soaring high into the air made the area around the place bright.

Yes, the Panji Tejo Laksono was the perpetrator of the burning of the Anjuk Padang palace food warehouse. After using his Ajian Halimun to bring his followers out of the private room of the Duke of Anjuk Padang, he immediately smashed his red-flamed, hot right hand palm from Ajian Fire God Site and his left hand palm that used Ajian Kitiran Sewu towards the palace's food warehouse.

The strength of the inner energy he unleashed was able to destroy the palace's food storehouse. Torch that fell, suddenly grabbed a variety of dry food items neatly arranged in the warehouse. In addition, the strong wind from Ajian Kitiran Sewu made the fire quickly spread throughout the place. A great fire soon occurred.

After burning the food warehouse of the Anjuk Padang palace in the south, Panji Tejo Laksono single-handedly used his Ajian Halimun to the food warehouse of the Anjuk Padang palace in the west that he had known before. Just like in the southern food warehouse, Panji Tejo Laksono used the same car to burn the food warehouse of the Anjuk Padang palace. After that he returned to his original place he came along with Endang Patibrata, Tumenggung Ludaka and Senopati Sembada.

Senopati Sembada was sent to call Demung Gumbreg, Cendana and Cendani and his followers soldiers to gather in that place. Because that very night, they had to leave immediately from the Duchy of Anjuk Field.

Twice while cooking rice, Senopati Sembada along with Demung Gumbreg, Cendana and Cendani and the soldiers of Senopati Sembada's personal guard came to the place. All of them carried luggage wrapped in black cloth and tied to their backs.

"Sembada Senopathy..

I thank you for your help in solving this problem. I assign you to immediately return to the Duchy of Lewa and face Duke Arya Menir. Tell him that I need your manpower to become a retainer in Kotaraja Daha.

After getting permission from her, boyong all your family members to Kadiri. There is a place that I provide for you families", ordered Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately made Senopati Sembada smile widely.

"Thank you for the trust of Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono. Servant obeys the orders of Gusti Prince.

For the two soldiers of the servant's personal guard, what can I invite them to participate in Kadiri", reply Senopati Sembada while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"of course..

They both contribute to this as well. Depart now, and when you arrive in Daha, find Uncle Ludaka to take care of your placement" said the young prince with a smile.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran", Senopati Sembada and two soldiers of his personal bodyguard were immediately worshiped before they kicked his horse mounts leaving the place, through the darkness of the night towards the Duchy of Lewa.

After midnight, they reached the banks of the Kapulungan River. The thick fog that covered the sight of the eyes forced them to stop their steps as they could barely see clearly at a distance of 4 fathoms ahead.

"Kangmas Prince, it looks like we can't continue our journey. This fog is too difficult for our eyes" said Endang Patibrata who rode beside Panji Tejo Laksono.

"All right, we need to stop..

It looks like there is a house in front. Look there is a lamp lit there", Panji Tejo Laksono pointed towards a lamp that looks like it was blowing in the wind not far from where they stopped the step.

The four of them immediately ran their horses towards the lamp.

As they approached the spot where the lamp was located, they saw a thin old man raising bamboo lathes used to snare fish. It seemed like the old man was a fisherman living west of the Kapulungan River. Some cork and bader fish are already tied to a rope hanging from a nearby lamtoro tree.

"Excuse Kisanak..

Sorry to trouble you", hearing the voice of Panji Tejo Laksono, the old man immediately turned his head towards Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades.

"What's up, young man? These nights are still on the river bank.

Are you guys out on the road tonight?", asked the old man as he re-inserted the bamboo bubu barrier and re-immersed it into the riverbank.

"You're right Ki..

We are travelers who want to explore the entire region of the Kingdom of Panjalu. Please help, we are staying overnight on the road and need a place to rest" Panji Tejo Laksono said politely.

The old man immediately looked at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono. After being convinced that he was a good person, while carrying a string of cork and bader fish, he approached them.

"My house is behind that hill. Just returned home in the morning. But I have a place to stay near the pier crossing. If you want, you can go to my place to unwind" said the old man immediately.

Panji Tejo Laksono agreed and immediately followed the old fisherman's steps to a small house located about 200 fathoms near the pier crossing. That night, Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends rested for a while in the old fisherman's house waiting for the morning sun.

"How about Kangmbok Gayatri? His stomach still feels heartburn huh?", asked Dyah Kirana to Luh Jingga who just came out of the bedroom Gayatri.

Since this afternoon, Gayatri complained that her large pregnant stomach was in constant heartburn. Some court healers Seloageng Duchy and medical expert Song Zhao Meng were working hard to cure him.

"The court healers are struggling to treat the sick Kangmbok Gayatri, Kirana..

We pray that the pain will be healed quickly", replied Luh Jingga while stroking his stomach which also bulged. Princess Resi Damarmoyo from Penampihan Hill is also pregnant 4 full moon.

All the other wives of Panji Tejo Laksono such as Ayu Ratna, Song Zhao Meng, Luh Jingga, Dyah Kirana and the in-law of Panji Tejo Laksono, Patih Sindupraja were also confused by Gayatri's illness. They took turns to look after the first concubine of Panji Tejo Laksono since this afternoon.

"Kangmbok Luh Jingga, do not-don't Kangmbok Gayatri want to give birth.", chirped Ayu Ratna who just came after resting earlier after her turn to guard.

"I hope so too, Nimas Ayu Ratna..

That way, when Kangmas Prince Panji Tejo Laksono came home, his son would be born", Luh Jingga immediately sat on a chair that was near the bedroom room Gayatri.

As they were busy talking about all the possibilities, all of a sudden...

Ooooeeekkkkk!!!!

The loud cry of the newborn baby was heard and this instantly made everyone who was there shocked at once happy.

From the direction in Gayatri's bedroom, a duchy palace ladyboy came out carrying a cauldron of water mixed with blood and jarit wet with amniotic water. The curious Ayu Ratna immediately intercepted him.

"Honey...

Is Kangmbok Gayatri a boy or a girl?"

The palace attendant immediately nodded while answering,

"A princess, Gusti Empress.."
