"Are you sure?", Panji Tejo Laksono still did not believe what had just come out of Ayu Ratna's mouth.

"Gusti Prince, isn't it commonplace if a prince has more than one wife?

My father, besides having my mother, still has a concubine. Even Dhimas Bratayudha who later became the successor of Kanjeng Romo as the Duke of Kalingga because he was a boy was the son of the concubine Kanjeng Romo.

I can't be selfish because I'm just greedy to have a husband for myself. I also have to think about the future of the Kingdom of Panjalu if one day Gusti Prince is appointed as Yuwaraja. Yes, if later I give birth to a male descendant for Gusti Prince, if I can only give female offspring, would I not be the same as ruining the Isyana Dynasty breed because of my selfishness?", ayu Ratna said with a meaningful smile.

"The thought of Gusti Putri was once more mature than his age.

Real great. I admire you", praise Luh Jingga while clapping.

"Of course, a princess of the palace is indeed educated to be able to be mature and obedient to her husband.

Unlike someone who claims to be a princess but always appears fierce and can not control himself in front of people" Ayu Ratna said with a smile knot.

"You insinuating me?

Here if you dare, I beat you up", Gayatri immediately jumped up to try to grab Ayu Ratna's hair. But the wary Panji Tejo Laksono, deftly snatched at Gayatri's waist.

"Eit eitt what do you want Gayatri?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Let go of me Gusti Prince..

I'll beat up the pretty pretentious princess so she can keep her mouth shut", Gayatri thrashed about trying to escape.

"Gayatri, that's enough!

We are in the palace of Kalinga. Watch your attitude, don't be such a wild girl. You are the daughter of the Duchy of Seloageng, you must pay attention to all your actions. Don't embarrass Eyang Adipati Tejo Sumirat", Panji Tejo Laksono's voice was a little loud to make Gayatri instantly speechless.

After Gayatri calmed down, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately let go of his decapitation.

"Daughter Gusti, it's been quite a night. Should Gusti Putri return to Keputren to rest" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

"I will obey you, Gusti Prince.

But I asked Gusti Prince to take me to the gate of Keputren. I was afraid of walking alone", Ayu Ratna smiled faintly. Panji Tejo Laksono nodded in understanding and immediately walked ahead of the princess of Kalingga Duchy. The two of them walked together towards the palace walls that became the boundary of Keputren and the guest hall of honor.

"The woman was very cunning Luh Jingga..

I would love to teach him a lesson so as not to be arrogant when we stay here", Gayatri continued to look towards Panji Tejo Laksono and Ayu Ratna who stepped further and further towards the palace's perimeter wall.

"Sabar Gayatri's.. You must not complicate our situation.

We're at Kalingga's palace. At least here Ayu Ratna is the ruler. Later when it is in the palace Kadiri, our position is the same as his", said Luh Jingga trying hard to calm the heart of Gayatri.

Gayatri did not answer Luh Jingga's words but it seemed that the beautiful girl still harbored resentment in her heart.

Once at the Keputren gate, Panji Tejo Laksono and Ayu Ratna stopped their steps. The two archway guard soldiers bowed respectfully to them.

"It's here, Gusti Putri.

Gusti Putri better get inside. I'll return to the guest hall of honor", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled wryly.

"Alright Gusti Prince.

Tomorrow Gusti Prince must defeat the Danapati. I don't want to go until Gusti Pangeran loses to him" Ayu Ratna said as she looked at Panji Tejo Laksono's handsome face expectantly.

"Why is that, Princess Gusti? Isn't losing a win in that match common?", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled meaningfully.

"Damn... Still asking what is the reason?

We have to win, Gusti Prince. If I lose and I have to marry Danapati, I'll hate you for the rest of my life".

After saying that, Ayu Ratna immediately turned around and ran towards the Duchy of Kalingga Duchy.

The banner of Tejo Laksono only shook his head while smiling knots. Then the young prince of Kadiri immediately returned to the hall of honor to rest.

The night kept crawling up. The sound of the night bird rang from a distant place. The atmosphere inside the Kalingga Palace was getting quieter as its residents had been lulled into their own beautiful dreams.

The unpretentious rooster tree indicates that the morning has arrived. The cold night air was slowly replaced by the warm morning sunlight that slowly appeared on the eastern horizon. The low spirit of the finches and the unpretentious braids on the twigs of trees that grow in the guest hall of honor Kalingga Duchy Palace.

I don't know who spread the news of the fight between Panji Tejo Laksono and Danapati in the square of Kadipaten Kalingga City, but that morning the square of Kalingga City was filled by thousands of people. They flock to come to the square to watch the fighting match silat who fight over Dyah Ayu Ratna, sekar kedaton Kalingga Palace as a prospective wife.

Kalingga soldiers were forced to make a guardrail to prevent residents who wanted to watch this match so as not to interfere with the course of the match. Senopati Ranggabuana deftly formed a line of soldiers so that the residents did not advance.

Among the residents who approached the arena of the match, there were two people dressed in bamboo dressed in all blue blackish-red with sharp eyes like the eyes of a murderer. They continued to gaze towards the stage where Duke Aghnibrata and the courtiers of Kalingga watched the match between Panji Tejo Laksono and Danapati.

As the sun rose in the eastern sky, Duke Aghnibrata with Ayu Ratna, Resi Danarasa and Tumenggung Ludaka took to the stage accompanied by Senopati Ranggabuana and Patih Reksonoto. While the referee of the match is Tumenggung Kalingga, Sumantri. Kalingga army bekel keep on guard to secure the situation while keeping an eye on the movement of the citizens who watch because of fear of things that are not desirable.

A soldier beat the bende so hard that the spectators who crowded around the place shut their mouths to listen to the announcement. Duke Aghnibrata immediately stood up from his seat.

"Today there will be a competition between Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono and Danapati.

As per the previous agreement, whoever can defeat the opponent will be entitled to be the husband of my daughter, Ayu Ratna.

I ask all to remain calm and maintain order during this match ", said Duke Aghnibrata who was immediately greeted by applause and a loud whistle from the spectators present at the venue.

Danapati entered the arena first. Confidently, he gazed around the crowd that crowded around the arena of the match. With the typical makeup of Segara Lotus Padepokan which is white blue, Danapati looks arrogant. He deliberately turned his head towards the stage of honor where Ayu Ratna was looking at with her annoying smile. Ayu Ratna immediately threw her face away as soon as Danapati looked towards her. That pissed Danapati off half to death.

'You may throw your face away this time, but after I beat up the Kadiri prince, you will regret what you have done', Inner Danapati.

After Danapati came out, Panji Tejo Laksono came out from a different side. With simple but neat clothes, the prince from Kadiri immediately stole the attention of the beautiful girls who participated in watching this match.

"It was Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono..

How handsome. Gusti Prince, take me as your wife", shouted a beautiful girl in light green clothes who stood outside the arena fence.

Gusti Prince don't listen to him. Marry me" said another girl next to him.

The atmosphere immediately became rowdy due to the appearance of Panji Tejo Laksono. Danapati was immediately upset by the appearance of Panji Tejo Laksono which stole the attention of many people. Moreover, Ayu Ratna immediately smiled broadly when looking at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"So you're the prince of Kadiri?

You better give up before your handsome face is battered" said Danapati as she looked at Panji Tejo Laksono's face with threat.

"Who is battered is still uncertain. We recommend that Kisanak pay more attention to themselves before paying attention to others", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled thinly.

Just as Danapati was about to respond to that remark, Tumenggung Sumantri advanced in front of the two of them.

"You guys are ready?", Sumantri stared at the two of them. The two men nodded immediately.

"Start...!!!"

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately bowed his body a sign of respect for the opponent but Danapati did not do it. The son of Resi Danarasa took two steps back while preparing his horses of silat.

After seeing the opponent prepare, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately prepared himself. Danapati who could not help but feel upset, immediately charged forward towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

The cheers of the audience instantly sounded as the fight began. They began to shout loudly in support of their respective heroes.

Danapati directly attacked at the foot of the Panji Tejo Laksono to knock down the young prince's horses. But the cutout leg is not able to shake the position of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Fast as lightning, the Panji Tejo Laksono slammed his right hand towards Danapati who was still on the ground.

Whuuthh !

Danapati immediately repelled a heavy blow from the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Plakkk ! plaakkk !

After fending off, Danapati immediately rolled to the ground then quickly stood up and again pushed forward towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

Using the science of Lotus Segara silat, Danapati attacks target the fragile body parts. But Panji Tejo Laksono is not an arbitrary swordsman. His bare-handed silat science is the best in Padas Putih. Calmly he served his opponent's silat game.

Fifteen steps have passed..

Resi Danarasa who was initially confident in his martial skills began to worry because Panji Tejo Laksono had landed two hard blows to Danapati's body, while his son was not one able to carry a punch to his opponent. Resi Danarasa stared worriedly.

'This prince seems to be able to too. His White Solid silat science is comparable to Wirotama, the leader of Padepokan now.

This is dangerous for Danapati', the inner Resi Danarasa.

If Rishi Danarasa began to worry, another case with Ayu Ratna. The daughter of Duke Aghnibrata who was originally very worried about the safety of Panji Tejo Laksono, smiled widely when he saw Panji Tejo Laksono look superior in this match.

While the audience began to crowd the place. Some even start betting with some money. A wealthy merchant named Ki Karmoyoso begins to open a big gamble for Panji Tejo Laksono. Dozens of gamblers began risking their possessions for their heroes.

"Come who else wants to bet for Prince Panji Tejo Laksono's opponent? I am ready to accept your bet" Ki Karmoyoso said as he looked at the spectators present.

While in the arena of the match, Danapati ngososan regulate his breathing. His last attack was successfully countered by Panji Tejo Laksono, even the young prince from Kadiri threw a hard kick towards his chest even though he managed to be fielded.

Danapati immediately glanced towards a disciple of Padepokan Teratai Segara who was on the side of the honor stage. The disciple understood and immediately threw a sword at Danapati.

Seeing that, Demung Gumbreg who was also standing beside the stage of honor, directly grabbed the sword of Siwikarna and threw it towards Panji Tejo Laksono. The prince caught Demung Gumbreg's sword.

Danapati immediately jumped towards Panji Tejo Laksono by blasting his sword. The banner of Tejo Laksono quickly repelled the saber of Danapati's sword.

Whuuthh !

Thrraannngggg !

Thhraaaanggggg !!

Sabetan sword thrust towards Panji Tejo Laksono quickly by the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana was in tangkis. Danapati thrust her sword towards the foot. The banner of Tejo Laksono directly imprinted the ground violently then bounces high into the air and landed as far as two spears behind Danapati. Not wanting his opponent to get away with it easily, Danapati immediately changed her body movements and went back to hunting towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

A sabre of Danapati's sword was aimed at the young prince's neck.

Shraaaakkkhhhh !

Using the sword as a pedestal, Panji Tejo Laksono lowered his body and hit Danapati's chest hard.

Bhuuukkkhh !

Aaauuuggghhhhh !

Danapati staggered backwards. From the corner of his lips, blood melted out. Danapati who felt a tightness in her chest, immediately wiped the blood that came out violently. He immediately threw his sword on the ground then quickly cupped both palms in front of his chest. A ray of blue light gathered in his palm along with a cold wind that swirled rapidly around his body. Apparently he was chanting Ajian Lotus Tread Shaking the Earth.

The banner of Tejo Laksono did not remain silent. He quickly cast his Ajian Palm Fire God spell. Instantly her palms that were cupped in front of her chest were red burning like fire due to the appearance of red rays rolling hot airy roll across her body.

Danapati immediately jumped high into the air and slid rapidly towards Tejo Laksono's banner by smashing her right hand.

"Campus you, motherfucker ! "

Whhhuuugghh !

The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately welcomed the arrival of the attack with his right hand palm that was bright red.

Bllaammmmmmmmm !

A powerful explosion was heard as the two high-level studies clashed. Danapati was thrown far back and hit the ground hard. Resi Danarasa's son was vomiting fresh blood. Meanwhile, Panji Tejo Laksono was still standing upright in his place while staring intently at Danapati who was lying on the ground.

"Will it continue?"
