THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Ch 9 - The Sky King's Decree
A few minutes later, Dewi Rara finally arrived at her residence.
“Nak, welcome back,” greet Sin Toga.
Sin Toga, who was sitting in the living room of his residence, got up, then walked up to Dewi Rara.
“Daddy how are you?” ask Dewi Rara gently. He then paid his respects to Sin Toga.
“Good ... ." replied Sin Toga, "you how?” sin Toga asked with a warm smile.
“Good, Dad!” answer the gentle Goddess Rara.
“Oiya father, I want to rest first, tomorrow I will meet the noble king,” said Dewi Rara lethargic.
Sin Toga could only smile bitterly. Her heart was sad to see her daughter leave her. He could feel the shock his daughter was experiencing. He realized very well, his daughter who used to be jolly and full of spirit now turned into a cold woman and seemed to have no spirit.
Sintoga was completely aware of his actions a while ago, having managed to ruin his daughter's life. He really regretted, because he was the one who asked the King of Heaven to send Goddess Rara to earth. Whereas before the Sky King had chosen the God of War to overcome the problems on earth.
“I have to make amends! All my daughter has experienced is because of me!” sin Toga blamed himself.
Sintoga was really confused to face the situation that was hitting his daughter. He can only promise himself that he will do anything to make amends.
On the other hand, Dewi Rara is seen laying her body on the bed. He can't close his eyes. It was obvious to him that the Prince of Yong's attitude was evident when he saw the wound on his face. Actually, he had expected it to happen. But still, as a woman who has been praised and adored by all the inhabitants of the sky, it is certainly not easy for her to accept this bitter reality. He felt harassed and humiliated by people who had wanted him terribly.

The next day, Dewi Rara received a call from the palace. He must meet the King of Heaven.
Accompanied by Sin Toga, Dewi Rara departed for the palace.
In the king's throne room, it is seen that the ministers and other palace officials have taken their respective positions.
The Sky King who was having a conversation with one of his ministers immediately stopped his conversation when he realized that Dewi Rara and Sin Toga were already in front of him.
“Honor your majesty, I came to want to give a report,” said Dewi Rara while bowing to salute.
The Sky King was happy to see the arrival of Goddess Rara. But on the other hand, he was confused to see the appearance of Dewi Rara who was not as usual.
The Sky King then invited Dewi Rara to submit a report.
After delivering a brief report regarding the mission she had just completed, Dewi Rara then alluded to the matter of her engagement to the Prince of Yong.
“Your Majesty the King, sorry if I was presumptuous ... ," Dewi Rara let out a long sigh before continuing her remark, "I want to cancel my engagement to the Prince of Yong.” The voice of Goddess Rara sounded somewhat trembling.
“What do you mean?” squealing the Sky King.he looked wrathful.
Dewi Rara did not directly answer the question of the Sky King. He actually opened the cover of his face and ventured to look at the face of the King of Heaven.
The expression on the face of the Heavenly King suddenly changed when he saw the face of Goddess Rara who he barely recognized anymore.
The Sky King then turned his gaze towards the Prince of Yong who was standing beside him.At the same time he turned his gaze towards Sin Toga who was standing not far behind Dewi Rara.
“Chairman Sin, What happened?” ask the Sky King.
Sin Toga then recounted all the things related to the wounds experienced by Dewi Rara. He also said that he would support whatever decision Dewi Rara related to the engagement.
The Sky King then raised the question, “Yong, what do you think?”
Prince Yong was just silent. He looked confused at the question of the King of the heavens.
Sin Toga who saw the attitude of the Prince of Yong can only curse in his heart, “Basic useless man.”
There was a feeling of disappointment and embarrassment on the face of the Sky King. He did not expect, the Prince of Yong who previously desperately wanted Dewi Rara was now cold and had no sympathy at all.
“Alright, this business I leave to you. It's up to you two,” said the Sky King firmly. He then stepped out of his throne.
The Prince of Yong who had just been bowed in silence also left the room without saying a word.
Seeing the Sky King and the Prince of Yong leaving, Dewi Rara and Sin Toga also moved to leave the palace. There was sadness on both of them's faces.
When arriving outside the palace area, Dewi Rara who was walking behind her father suddenly stopped her steps.
"Dad, I thought about it last night. I prefer to be a mortal and live on earth than to be a disgrace to the Kingdom of Heaven,” said Dewi Rara Lirih.
A grain of water from his right eye fell down on his cheek. Although she never expected to experience such conditions, Dewi Rara was sincere about the destiny she had to live. It's just that he's not ready to leave his father.
“I hope you can let me go!” said Dewi Rara sobbing.
Sin Toga did not look back. He chose silence. He did not know what to say to comfort his child.
Goddess Rara was stunned for a moment. He waited for his father to speak.
A few moments passed with silence. Sin Toga did not react. He just stood there while holding the pain in his heart.
Goddess Rara finally turned the bow. He also darted away from his father towards the Earth Gate.
Tears fell down Sin Toga's cheeks. He could only let go and let his son go. He can only mumble, “Goodbye son, Daddy will catch up with you soon. I'd do anything to make up for all my mistakes."

"Open the gate!" the order of Goddess Rara when arriving in front of the Earth Gate.
"Sorry Goddess, but really we are not allowed to open the Earth Gate if there is no prior notice from the palace side" said one of the guards.
"Haha." Goddess Rara laughed wryly. "Then I will force." Dewi Rara then attacked the guards.
Although the strength of the guards is far below the strength of Dewi Rara, but their large number is enough to make Dewi Rara overwhelmed.
Only a few minutes later, most of the guards had fallen. Only two people remained, but his condition was severely injured.
"How are you still trying to get in my way?" ask Dewi Rara coldly.
"Sorry Goddess, we must not break the rules" the guard said trying to persuade.
"Hahaha, you're tired of living!" pekik Dewi Rara's.
Just as Dewi Rara was about to attack the two remaining guards, suddenly a shrieking sound came from behind.
"Wait!"
The guards immediately saluted when the Prince of Yong arrived before him.
"Let him pass!" prince Yong's orders.
The two guards immediately opened the Earth Gate.
"Rara, I'm i-" the Prince of Yong did not continue his words.
Goddess Rara darted and disappeared behind the gate.
