The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 60,2. THE LOVE SCENE: SWORD DANCE

SECOND LIFE

"HUH..HUH...HUH... Am I crying? Why do I cry with a dream?" A young girl awakens from sleep because of a dream she had and wonders in confusion.

"It's still dark and I can't sleep anymore. What happened to that girl? Did she get her love or just a sleeping flower for me? Yes, ask aunt Tenung later." The girl muttered then got up from her bed and looked out.

"A bed this big doesn't feel good sleeping alone." The young girl muttered while tidying up her bed.

Finished making her bed the girl went to the bathroom. Long enough in the bathroom and pampering herself in the warm water, the girl came out refreshed.

Outside the dawn was breaking, the crows were crowing and the signs were morning. The maids entered the girl's room and prepared all the girl's needs.

"Young lady how are you today?" Ask some servants while bowing.

"As usual aunt. Always living in boredom and saturation like this." The girl answered, breathing out.

"Indeed it should be like this living as a princess." An older servant answered while combing the girl's hair.

"Oh yeah aunt I want to ask you about the dream I had last night." Say the girl to the waiter who brushes her hair.

The waiter momentarily stopped his comb and looked at the girl.

"How many times has the princess dreamed of him?" Ask the waiter.

"Just last night, exactly my seventeenth birthday." Answer the girl.

"Try the princess tell me." Pinta the waiter returned to comb the girl's hair.

Then the girl told me about the dream she had. It was as if he was the one in the dream. He also said that when he woke up he was crying.

The waiter fell silent and looked around him making sure no one heard their story.

"Hem... Strange but real dreams. Maybe it was the life of the princess before." Said the waiter again to make sure the surrounding conditions are safe no eavesdroppers.

"Huh? Previous life? You mean aunt Tenung?" The girl did not understand.

"Didn't the princess have the exact face of the woman in the dream?" The waiter answered the girl's question.

The girl nodded. "Yes exactly aunty. I don't know why, but it feels a little older even though it's still pretty." The girl answered while looking at her baby face from crystal glass that has been shaped in such a way that it is flat and can reflect objects clearly.

"The face of the princess is indeed beautiful and even one of the most beautiful girls in the Kingdom." Said the waiter.

"The aunt's predecessor said that this man had several lives, both before and after. Everyone forgets about his past life and it is already the law of the heavens. However, there are some people who can remember previous lives at certain times." Continue the waiter while getting up after finishing combing the princess's hair.

The girl was silent for a moment. "But I don't remember anything about something like that in a dream. It was as if I was seeing a theatrical performance of female and male plays in pairs in my dream." Said the girl rising up.

"Auntie just speculates and does not believe too much in his previous life. As long as aunty's alive, haven't heard of anyone remembering a life before." Said the waiter and then tidied back the girl's oversized clothes.

"But aunt, in the dream it was strange that I did not see the man's face. When I was about to see it as if my gaze was blurred and shaded. I don't know why." The girl muttered while matching herself in front of the bigger glass.

"Hem.. Maybe it was better than the princess knowing it. Who knows that man is the most important figure for the woman in the dream of the princess so that others should not see him." The waiter answered, still putting the girl's shirt on.

"Hem.. I hope the couple can be together in their next life. I'm sorry if I accidentally peeked into both of you're stories." The girl muttered while making a gesture apologizing.

The servant only smiled broadly at the behavior of his daughter.

Soon some servants came in and brought some fancy jewelry.

"Mr princess, this is a gift from the prince of Ludiya Kingdom and Haipang Kingdom. They wish me a happy seventeenth birthday." Said the few servants while bowing.

"Where are they now?" Ask the princess.

"They're with the other guests." Answer the servants.

"Hmmm.. You leave it there and put it back in their hands when you're about to leave." The princess ordered without seeing or touching the jewelry.

"Your Majesty the Princess." The servants were a little surprised.

"Go back and if anyone delivers jewelry again, say that I am not lacking in the least." The princess's orders were firm.

"Your Majesty the Princess." Reply the servants respect and then slowly retreat.

"You have indeed grown up princess." Mumbled the maid named Tenung.

"Every human must have changed aunty. I have entered adulthood and now is my day of maturity. I don't want anyone to take it from me."

Not long after that the queen mother aka the birth mother of the princess came and saw her child.

"Rihana, the guests have already arrived and are waiting for the ceremony to start." The queen's mother called her son.

"Yes, my mother is done." Reply princess Rihana.

"Hem... Even people would be willing to make a living and dead contest for you if you saw your face, son." The queen's mother said she saw the beauty of her child.

"Who used to dong his father and mother. Beautiful child because it comes from a handsome father and a beautiful mother...." Princess Rihana did not continue her words when she suddenly felt familiar with the words of the life and death duel her mother spoke.

"What's my son?" Ask the Queen's mother who knows there is something unusual about her child.

"I feel like I've heard the words mother 'live and die' and somehow my heart hurts, mother." Princess Rihana replied while pressing her chest which was as if she had lost something.

"It's okay my son, it's just de Javu that everyone often experiences." The Queen's mother calmed her son.

Princess Rihana fell silent then nodded and smiled sweetly.

"That's the name of the princess. Come on, the guests have come to your birthday. Even your brothers have all come to celebrate an important day for you." Said the Queen while taking her youngest daughter out of the room and towards the place that had been prepared for her.

In that place he could see hundreds of people had filled his place. They whispered to see Princess Rihana coming with the Queen's mother. Rihana wearing the veil was just silent and not interested. He immediately went to the place of his brothers who greeted him with various congratulations and gifts that he could not refuse.

"Gee... Thank you first brother, second brother and third brother. The gift is amazing." Said Princess Rihana while receiving gifts that were not jewelry. It was a simple yet very meaningful gift for a teenager like her who was at once the youngest daughter of a kingdom.

The guests also gave their unusual gifts which inevitably Princess Rihana had to accept.

Princess Rihana's birthday show is so festive. Not just an ordinary birthday because at the same time the princess maturity ceremony, so many people around who come and watch the ceremony.

Amidst the frenzy of fanfare it suddenly sounded a great thumping sound.

Mmmm..

"Attacks..... The enemy attacked. Protect the King and his family."

The frenzy of excitement turned into a frenzy of sword and spear thump. The sound of shouting filled the gates and courtyards of the palace.

Princess Rihana and her family have been taken into the palace and guarded by several Generals. While the guests are some who fought against the attackers and some who fought to help the attackers.

"Damn!! This whole thing was planned. There's a traitor among the royal coalition." Snapped the King daughter Rihana's father in anger. All three of his sons were forbidden from going to war and were better off together. While Rihana was just silent as if he had gotten used to all that.

"Fourth sister, aren't you afraid to see that?" Asked one of her brothers who was surprised to see the calmness of their little sister.

"Somehow, I feel I'm used to all of that. Even now I feel capable of fighting with those people." Answer princess Rihana casually.

"What did you say, sister? You who have never learned swordsmanship or martial arts can fight?" Ask her other brother who doesn't believe.

Princess Rihana just nodded slowly. He was also at a loss as to how to explain it, as if some sword science and inner strength had been mastered just like that and stayed put into practice against the enemy. He did not explain it to his family who would only laugh at him because as a child, Rihana was known to dislike martial arts, he only studied literature and embroider and cook. Something that women in general learn.

Both of his parents just kept quiet to hear their son's conversation.

Bomm...

The door of the royal family's hiding room was finally broken by the enemy. Dozens of high-ranking warriors immediately entered the room where the royal family and the Generals were.

"Haha.... We prepared for this a few years ago, and we were finally able to carry out the plan on a day you didn't expect. Haha what about this, fun isn't it?" One of the old men from the people who came spoke with the jumawa.

"Hmmm... She said Princess Rihana was a jewel in the depths of the ocean, and soon I will be the first swordsman to successfully carry the jewel on the bed. Haha." Said the old man while licking his tongue as he saw Princess Rihana sitting leisurely not bothered at all with their arrival.

Everyone from the royal family's side was as boiling blood as they heard the old man's provocation.

"Strike them and chop the mouth of that jackass man!" The King's Command to His Generals.

A battle ensued inside the large room. The Generals who protected the King were not ordinary generals, but high-ranking Generals. So it was very difficult for the old man and his men to break through their defenses. Even the old man who spoke up was injured by several sword slashes from the strongest general.

"Ughs.. Who said those generals were just trash I'd cut off his neck?" The old man shouted furiously and leaped back when one of the swords of the general nearly slashed his mouth out.

The old man saw that some of his men had fallen while the Generals were only lightly wounded.

"You think my kingdom is just a figment of the thumb?" Said the King from his seat. He seemed relaxed with everything that was happening. It seemed like he had already prepared for something like this one day.

"Sad... You think we're here without any preparation?" The old man then whistled a few times as a gesture of calling someone.

Vush....

A man in a straw hat came like the wind before the old man. He covered his face with his big straw hat and the sword sheathed on his waist proved that the man who had come just now was not an arbitrary swordsman.

"Children, according to the previous agreement if you manage to slaughter the entire royal family, then that item will be yours." Said the old man to the man in the straw hat who had just arrived.

"I agree with that if only a few people are weak, yet seeing some swordsman up ahead there is unusual, I want comparable pay." The masked man said coldly without looking at anyone and just lowered his head.

"What do you want a child?" Asked the old man while rubbing his palms in agreement with the request of the person in the straw hat.

"I want one more thing you promised and ten times the promised gold." The man in the straw mask was still cold.

"Good deal. As long as Kisanak is able to slaughter them all, the pay is fine." Said the old man excitedly as he looked at Princess Rihana lustfully.

"Based on a disgusting man." The inner Rihana restrains emotions.

"Based on arrogance, no matter how great you are we are more and more powerful." The King then jumped out of his chair and stood firm with his generals.

"Quantity is not something useful in front of me. You better come forward together so I can kill you more easily." Reply the man in the straw hat was cold.

"Your Majesty our King beg you better step down, let us chop up that bastard." Said one of the most powerful Generals who had injured the old man.

"no need. That guy's not as simple as you can see. If it's just you guys, in some ways, you've fallen." Said the king then took his sword that was overtaken at his waist.

"Good, it would be easier to kill all of you then." Said the man running fast and unsheathed his sword to.

Ting... Ting.. Ting..

Tang... Tang... Tang..

The fight against the five great generals with a king, did not make the man cornered at all. He could still defend and attack facing the six powerful enemies before him.

But the balance was soon disturbed once the three sons of the king helped their father and the generals.

Now it looks like the man is starting to be cornered even though he has not suffered any injuries.

"Haha... This is just fun." Said the man changing his sword stance. It looked strange and a little unreasonable.

The battle that was originally one-sided, now became balanced after the man changed his sword stance.

"Now, you'd better see the swordsmanship that I created myself. " Say the man changed his sword again with a new one.

Slowly though slowly, the man began to dominate the fight against the nine high warriors. The deadly moves that the straw hat man took out left his nine opponents overwhelmed.

It was as if the man in the straw hat had nine pairs of hands that could fend off his enemy's attacks as well as attack. The man's swordplay was agile, slippery like an eel, deadly like a rattlesnake, sturdy like steel, and fast like a cheetah. Battle is not just a duel, but like a beautiful dance that results from a long life experience.

Tang. tang.....

With a sword in hand and a deadly stance, the man in the straw hat was able to severely injure nine of his enemies. He himself had only minor injuries.

Even four of the guards' generals had fallen and the king's two sons had also fallen. Although it did not endanger their lives, the injuries they received were enough to stop their movement and not attack again.

The king and the others were speechless to see the battle that was supposed to be heavy next door instead turning to them. The king who did not want to see any death on his side immediately retreated and told his members to stop attacking.

"Kis son, who are you really why is a person as great as you we have never heard of in this martial world?" Asked the King who was curious about the identity of the man in front of him.

"I am just a wandering warrior wandering this land." The man replied flatly without looking at his interlocutor.

"Then why would you want to help bad people like them?" The King asked while arranging his hunting breath.

"Well or bad, it is not the man who determines. In this world, power is absolute. They reward what I cannot refuse, as a traveling swordsman I will side with those who are profitable." The man in the straw hat replied without looking at him, his words still cold.

"Are you selling your humanity for a reward?" Princess Rihana who was just silent now got up from her chair and asked while holding the sword in her hand.

The man in the straw hat raised his head slightly looking at who was speaking. The man in the straw hat was a little shocked because he did not feel the inner power that the veiled girl had, but his carriage was so calm and not afraid at all.

"Humanity cannot be determined in return. Humanity is nonsense." The man replied, bowing his head in disinterest with the veiled girl.

Princess Rihana came forward and opened her sword sheath.

"Let's prove what you say." Princess Rihana replied as she darted swiftly swinging her sword towards the man.

"No...." The Queen Mother screamed in restraining her daughter who rashly attacked the man. He was about to restrain his daughter but her movements were so fast that even the King himself could not catch the movements of their daughter.

Tangggg.......

The man in the hat fended off princess Rihana's sword attack with his sword. The man was wide-eyed as he was forced to retreat while fending off the veiled woman.

The sword in the man's hand trembled after receiving Princess Rihana's attack. He widened his head to look at Princess Rihana more clearly.

"Hoo... Finally you raise your head. Weren't you so happy." Rihana said calmly. He actually felt astonished by himself today. Ever since the assailants entered, he had only been silent and entered into a beautiful world. In that world he was studying a sword style that he had never seen before. The sword was very beautiful and seemed to be dancing. In that world, he studied various swordsmanship and martial arts.

When he regained consciousness from his daydream, his father had already retreated and suffered some serious injuries. He also did not know where the abundant inner energy within him was coming from. When he tried the skill he learned, the man in the straw hat was made to retreat by him.

The Generals, the King, the Queen and her three brothers were stunned to see an event they had never seen before. Their youngest daughter was able to make a straw hat man retreat that even nine King-level warriors were unable to injure the man.

"Little girl, it seems like you are more suited to be my opponent." Said the man in the straw hat.

The man darted quickly towards Rihana with a twisting motion of his body and sword like a drilling machine hitting the ground.

Princess Rihana seemed to have known how to fend off the move, she banged her body into the air and twisted her body like that man but in a way backwards. If seen they are like two drills that rotate opposite, but in tune.

Princess Rihana retreated to the back as well as the man in the straw hat. They both couldn't believe what had just happened. The man in the straw hat could not believe that anyone could match his own attack. While princess Rihana did not believe what she was going through. It was as if he felt familiar with the style he had just used.

The two men darted back quickly and clashed against each other with swords. Now the two men again issued a different style than before. They looked not to be fighting, but rather like they were training together under the moon at night in the midst of hundreds of fireflies emitting a very beautiful yellow light.

Tang Tang Ting Ting Ting Tang Tang

Hundreds of moves they put out in that sword fight. During that time they have their own thoughts and different shadows in their minds.

Princess Rihana was currently practicing a sword with someone she had seen in her dreams, that person's face was not clearly visible because every time she saw that person's face, it was like there was a barrier between the sight of princess Rihana and the man's face. But princess Rihana seemed to know that the person was very valuable and meaningful to her. She did not know what feelings were in her heart, but her instinct told her that the man she was currently fighting with was the same man she had been in her dreams.

Different from how that man felt, he was surprised that every style he mastered and remembered in his first life was able to be neutralized by the veiled girl in front of him even the moves used by the veiled woman were a couple of moves issued by the man. Right now her heart was racing, her breathing was hunting, and her eyes were sore and her body was trembling guessing who this veiled girl who was exchanging moves in front of her was.

the tang...

Wussh...

On the last move they exchanged, as if they had done it to each other, the tip of Princess Rihana's sword took off the big straw hat that covered the man's face so that the man's face appeared. While the tip of the sword of the man managed to remove the veil of princess Rihana so that the face of princess Rihana appeared.

The man looked shocked in disbelief looking at princess Rihana's face was the same face as the face of the girl he loved so much in his previous life and his guess was correct this time.

While princess Rihana was also surprised to see the handsome face of the man in front of her and as if she was returning to the time where she was exchanging moves with a mysterious person under the moonlight surrounded by hundreds of glowing fireflies. Illuminated by the moonlight, and the light from the hundreds of fireflies, princess Rihana can clearly see who the man with the blur face in her eyes that always makes her feel comfortable if close to the man.

Trangs..

Rihana's sword fell from hand to floor. He closed his mouth in disbelief that, the face of the man who had missed his straw hat was exactly the same even as the face of the man who became his partner in exchanging styles.

Meanwhile, the man sheathed his sword then lightning-fastly ran towards princess Rihana and carried princess Rihana then led her away from the room through the open window. The movement happened so quickly, that when everyone in the room came to their senses, Princess Rihana and the man in the straw hat had been absent from the room.

......................

Princess Rihana opened her eyelids that were already full of tears. Now she remembered the love story in her previous life. He cried when he happily looked at the handsome face of this lover in front of him.

"Sister Rangga, since when can I remember all that?" Princess Rihana asked on the sidelines of her crying day.

"Since the age of fifteen. At first confused what happened, why there is always a woman who is always present in the dream of her brother and the events that at that time seemed to be all real. Then my sister asked an old woman and she said that it was all my past. And he said again I was born once again to finish what was not finished." Rangga answered gently rubbing the tears that flowed from the cheeks of princess Rihana.

"I want us to get married soon, continue the happiness that was delayed sis." Rihana said firmly after being silent for a moment.

"Well if that's what you want. We'll get married and live together until old." Reply Rangga smiled while stroking Rihana's hair gently.

.......................

That's so... The lives of both lovers live. But unfortunately they do not know that dozens of powerful enemies are eyeing their lives.

On the day of the wedding the couple's events were almost the same as the previous life again happened. As if history repeats itself, in this life, the happiness they have just felt ends with the greatest and greatest sadness and becomes the conclusion of the love story of the two couples in this life.

.................

No different from his previous life, some of their lives always ended tragically. Happiness for the sake of happiness that every time they want to feel, always ends miserably. Although they have had the experience of several lives, still happiness they never get. It was as if heaven and earth were allied toying with their love story.

So what about this life, a life that was much harder than their previous life?

....................

Elder Yan, Hanzho, tearfully heard the story of Rangga and elder Lan. Even the little Della cried when she heard the pain from her teacher. As a student, he could only be silent without knowing what to do even though he was eager to do something.

"It was all my fault for being too weak. Weakness is what makes me unable to protect the people I love. That weakness is what I regret every moment." Rangga said shaking full of emotion while clasping his hand to berate himself.

"Had I been stronger back then, that heartbreaking incident would never have happened. In this life I've been training like crazy. All I did was practice and practice spending my childhood with training, my teenage years with training, my youth with training. I don't care what the people around me say, all I know is how the heartbreaking story of a few lives ago never happened. I continue to train in this world to the peak of strength and become the strongest in the world." Said Rangga still holding his hand.

"Thank you brother for waiting for me to come back." Elder Lan's speech was moved. He knew from Rangga's appearance that what he said was true. The appearance of a deflated man whose two eyes radiated a deep longing, still gave off a terrifying aura to those who sensed it.

Elder Lan tightly grasped Rangga's clenched hand. Grasping her with love and boundless love.

Mm brommm...

Suddenly from the outside came the sound of a loud explosion. Everyone who was in the restaurant immediately rushed out to find out what had happened.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
