"Hamba is ready to accept Gusti prabu's orders" Tawang Sono said.

"Listen to Tawang Sono this is an important task that I specialise in for you

"Well Gusti prabu will be the servant of the road this task is in accordance with Gusti prabu orders right" said Tawang Sono.

"Start now"command King Batara Derja.

"Sorry before Gusti prabu" said Tawang Sono.

"There is Tawang Sono" asked the king of Batara Derja.

"It seems that for this investigation task, the servant will act alone so that he can move freely Gusti" said Tawang Sono.

"Alright if that's what you want" said the king of Batara Derja.

"Hamba beg yourself Gusti prabu" said Tawang Sono, then passed from the presence of King Batara Derja.

After the departure of Tawang Sono then came Rang Rang to meet the king of Batara Derja who was sitting on his throne with a face full of worry.

"Hamba came to Gusti Prabu" Rang Rang said respectfully.

"What is Rang Rang" asked the king of Batara Derja.

"Hamba wants to tell you something important Gusti prabu" Rang Rang said.

"What about Dinda Durgapali Rang Rang" asked the king of Batara Derja.

"True Gusti this prabu about Gusti the queen" replied Rang Rang.

"Has his situation improved Rang Rang" asked the king of Batara Derja impatiently.

"Sorry Gusti Prabu it turns out Gusti Ratu's wound is quite severe, it takes a long time to heal him" said Rang Rang.

"As I thought, do you know what hit Dinda Durgapali" asked the king of Batara Derja.

"It looks like the punch that hit Gusti Ratu was not Gusti Prabu's usual punch ,because after I examined his chest as if to blister blackish hitaman servant has exerted his energy to remove all the blood that clumps in his chest, but only half of it can be removed Gusti"lang Rang Rang .

"Work is Rang Rang in any way you have to recover quickly Dinda Durgapali..!!"said the king of Batara Derja full of anxiety.

"Well Gusti, for the healing process Gusti queen I will take him to my teacher's place on Mount Gusti prabu ceremai" continued Rang.

"What can not be done here Rang Rang" asked the king of Batara Derja.

"Sorry Gusti prabu water here can not for the wound healing process, because Gusti queen must be soaked with hot water containing sulfur so that the blood that clot quickly out Gusti prabu"rang explained.

"Gusti Prabu" said Rang Rang.

"Now I beg myself Gusti Prabu to go to Mount Ceremai" said Rang Rang.

"Wait for Rang Rang to bring some soldiers to accompany you on the journey" said the king of Batara Derja.

"Hamba does not feel the need for Gusti Prabu because I have to act quickly so that it is not too late" said Rang Rang.

"If the soldiers will only slow down your journey, I will not force you to leave please" said king Batara Derja.

Rang Rang immediately went from the presence of King Batara Derja and immediately headed to the mountain Ceremai with Queen Durgapali.

After the passage of Rang Rang then the king of Batara Derja called Narapala and Dunggala to face him.

"We both face Gusti Prabu" Narapala and Dunggala said.

"The two of you now also come with me to the dragon cave "saying king Batara Derja.

"I want to make sure that the cave is fine Narapala "said King Batara Derja.

"Quickly we leave "soon the king of Batara Derja .

"Both Gusti prabu" said Narapala and Dunggala then followed the king Batara Derja to the dragon cave.

...****************...

"I think we should not get out of here for a long time" Pandan Wangi said.

"You are right Fragrance seems like the person who is after your sword is still wandering around this area" said Ariani Dewi agreed.

"Ariani who would have thought would be the one who sent Jaka Alap Alap to protect us and how fate would be after we left" asked Pandan Wangi.

"That's what I'm thinking about Fragrance, it looks like he has been watching us for a long time I hope he can survive the fight yesterday" said Ariani Dewi.

"Hopefully he is really on our side Fragrant to protect this sword" Pandan Wangi said.

"I really don't understand why the damn King and Queen want your sword and Arum's sword "said Ariani Dewi.

"If the king of Batara Derja wants this sword there must be something he is planning and I think we should find out what it is" Pandan Wangi said.

"You really perfumed after I decreased my style to Arum we immediately have to move to find out about it" said Ariani Dewi.

"This auntie poached ketela is ripe "say Arum by bringing boiled ketela before them both.

"I happen to be starving for Arum" Pandan Wangi said.

"It turns out you can also boil Arum ketela, aunty thinks you can not be in the kitchen problem" said Ariani Dewi.

"Why does aunt talk that way" Arum asked slightly offended.

Seeing Arum's face turn sullen Ariani hurriedly explained her fear of Arum being misrespected.

"Don't get angry Arum, you just think usually a princess will never know about the kitchen" said Ariani Dewi.

"You should not be the same Arum with the princess of the palace in general Ariani, cooking problems she is also smart" said Pandan Wangi.

"It should be so as a woman aunty admits to being amazed by you Arum" Ariani said in praise of Dewi.

"Thank you aunt" Arum blushed in embarrassment.

"Arum aunty wants to ask you and auntie hope you answer honestly aunty's question" Ariani said.

"Well, auntie wants to ask me what" Arum asked.

"Have you ever learned a sword style apart from Aunt Fragrance "asked Ariani Dewi.

"Mmmm..I think never auntie" replied Arum while eating the still-warm boiled ketella.

Ariani Dewi immediately looked at Pandan Wangi who was also looking towards her.

The two of them were completely shocked by Arum's reply.

"Aren't you lying to Aunt Arum" asked Ariani Dewi.

"Why would I lie to my aunt "Arum replied.

"Then try to show me the style that you used to fight against Brojo Segoro yesterday" asked Ariani Dewi.

Arum seemed to think hearing the words of Ariani Dewi and immediately stood up then stepped three spears from Ariani Dewi and Pandan Wangi.

"You use this only Arum think of it as a sword" said Ariani Dewi threw a stick after seeing Arum's eyes looking for something.

Arum immediately caught the wood to demonstrate his style.

Arum immediately held his horse and began to play the style in the pinta Ariani Dewi.

The view of Ariani Dewi and Pandan Wangi was focused on Arum who would start playing the style.

"Wait Arum is not that style that Aunty Ariani asked "pronounced Pandan Wangi.

"She said yesterday's style, not yesterday I used this style aunty" Arum said.

"You'd better show him Ariani so he remembers" Pandan Wangi said.

Hearing Pandan Wangi's suggestion, Ariani Dewi immediately stood up to Arum.

"Notice the style that I will show Arum" said Ariani Dewi.

Ariani Dewi immediately demonstrated the style of slashing a thousand swords to Arum, seeing that style Arum immediately understood what was meant by Ariani Dewi.

"Quite my aunt already knows" Arum said arriving.

"Then try to play the style earlier" said Ariani Dewi immediately sat back next to Pandan Wangi.

Arum immediately demonstrated the style requested by the Goddess Ariani, with a fast and deadly movement Arum played the style.

Ariani Dewi and Pandan Wangi really should be surprised by the game of Arum's style.

"How Ariani is not that the slash of a thousand swords belongs to you and Gusti Prabu" said Pandan Wangi.

"You are right Fragrant and the movement was very perfect "said Ariani Dewi by looking at Arum with a sense of admiration.

"Enough Arum "say Ariani Dewi.

"Didn't Aunt Fragrant not have that style Arum, then who dropped that style on you" asked Ariani Dewi impatiently.

"Iya Arum quickly tell aunty" Pandan Wangi said also impatiently.

"Why aunt both so interested in the style earlier is not if aunt Dewi has mastered it" said Arum plain.

"Arum, I mean aunt Ariani Dewi is not her style but the person who taught the style" Pandan Wangi explained.

"Oh that means auntie well I will tell" Arum said as he took a seat between Pandan Wangi and Ariani Dewi.

"This is the story of aunt, when I was in Argara that night when I was going to sleep came a man who was covered in his face knocking on the window of my room" Arum said.

"I opened my window and there was a man standing there, and I went out of the room and wanted to see him wanting to know what his purpose was ,but that person is no longer there. I then searched around the palace, until I finally found the man in the palace garden was playing the sword style earlier" said Arum.

"Because I wanted to know what the person meant I noticed his movements and strangely the longer I watched him subconsciously I began to imitate the movements of that person that I found very interesting"said Arum.

"Are you not asking who Arum is" asked Pandan Wangi.

"I'm sorry Aunt Arum isn't done yet so auntie don't cut off Arum's talk" Arum said.

"I'm sorry aunt princess please continue" said Pandan Wangi.

"Not long after that the man finished playing the nurse and suddenly he disappeared from my sight" Arum continued.

"then after that what are you doing" asked Ariani Dewi.

" I decided to go back to my room" Arum said.

"What was the night that the man came to you Arum "asked Ariani Dewi.

"No aunt Dewi, the next night there was a knock on my window door, I immediately opened my bedroom shutters and it turned out to be the person who was last night,

I immediately darted outside to chase after the man who had been waiting for me in the park.

In the garden I saw that he was demonstrating the same style as the night before and I noticed all his movements from beginning to end.

After he finished playing that style he then disappeared as when he first met me, the incident continued until the next night" said Arum stopped his story.

"I guess how many times that person came to you Arum" asked Ariani Dewi.

If it is not wrong it seems five times and in the night he gave me a letter that contained this" replied Arum then he read the contents of the letter.

I will come again on the seventh night to fight with you in this style that I display,so you remember well every move I have shown you and remember not to tell anyone about my coming here.

"That's what the letter contained aunty" Arum explained.

"Are you really fighting on the seventh night with Arum" asked Ariani Dewi.

"Truely the aunt on that fateful night, she kept her promise to meet me and we got into a fight using the same style" Arum said.

"Are you able to defeat him" asked Pandan Wangi.

"Don't beat him to keep up with his movements, I'm overwhelmed by aunty" Arum said.

"After a few years our fight was over and the man said that I really had mastered this style perfectly and the man left without coming again" Arum said.

"And you didn't have time to ask who he really was Arum" asked Pandan Wangi.

"Yes auntie, when I was about to ask her name that person had just vanished" Arum said.

" The man also did not say that the name of the style was the slash of a thousand swords on you Arum" asked Ariani Dewi.

"Right auntie, if aunt didn't say it maybe I'd never know what the style's name was" Arum said.

"Listen Arum the slash of a thousand swords is one of the mainstay of your father Prabu Rangga a king of the kingdom of Martapura" said Ariani Dewi.

"Say my father was a king from the kingdom of Martapura...!!!"arum said with surprise.

"True Arum, please forgive aunt that all this time I kept all this a secret to you, because all this was requested by your grandfather Gusti Prabu Bargola" said Pandan Wangi.

"Why Gusti prabu Bargola did so Fragrance is not it Arum's right to replace Gusti prabu Rangga" said Ariani Dewi was surprised.

"On that Gusti Prabu Bargola knew that Arum was the rightful heir to the throne, he just wanted to anticipate that later there would be no dispute between Dyah Ayu Larasati daughter of Arya Soma and Arum"said Pandan Wangi.

"Distention as to how fragrant, you do not talk about "said Ariani Dewi unhappily.

"This is the intention of King Bargola if later Dyah Ayu Larasati does not recognize Arum as the rightful heir to the throne will not trigger a war between the brothers of Ariani, And you also know how Gusti prabu Rangga was raised to be the king of Martapura" said Pandan Wangi.

"Yes I still remember when Gusti Prabu Rangga was appointed king of Martapura by the Dungga king because he managed to defeat the Ireng centipede and win the competition" said Ariani Dewi.

"But nevertheless Arum is the heir to the legitimate throne of Martapura Wangi and it can not be challenged by anyone, either Dyah Ayu Larasati or Arya Soma even"ariani said stay on his stance.

"Arum whether you want to take the throne of Martapura which is your right or not" asked Pandan Wangi.

"If it will only cause bloodshed for what aunt, let me in Argara to accompany grandfather" Arum said.

"This child is really like his mother who always wants to give up" said Ariani Dewi in heart.

"What do you think Ariani after hearing Arum's words" asked Pandan Wangi.

"Well, what can I do if Arum has said that" said Ariani Dewi while raising her hands.

"How many times have you been to Martapura Arum" asked Ariani Dewi.

"Never had aunty at all, because grandfather never allowed" Arum said.

Hearing Arum's words, Ariani Dewi shook her head and looked at Pandan Wangi beside her.

"I'm just following orders from the king of Bargola Ariani so don't look at me like that" Pandan Wangi said while grinning.

"After I have passed on my knowledge to you, I decided the three of us visited Martapura and today you have to start Arum training" said Ariani Dewi.

"Good aunt" Arum said.

Finally, in Mount Sinabung, Dewi Sekar Arum also practiced the style of the Ariani Dewi , with full perseverance and patience Arum can quickly capture every clue from the Ariani Goddess until in a short time he can master the style he gave.

...----------------...

Hiyaaa... hiyaaa...hiyaaa , on his horse there was a woman dressed in red with her hair on her ponytail she was Dyah Ayu Larasati who had just visited her teacher from the top of the wind.

Haaa...haaa..haaa.. suddenly there was a sound of laughter echoing around the forest that was passed by Dyah Ayu Larasati.

The longer the sound of laughter was heard louder so that he had to stop his horse and find out the origin of the sound.

"Who are you showing yourself "yells Dyah Ayu Larasati with vigilance.

"Bas a coward, dammit" Arum said after feeling an attack that supported him he immediately jumped from his horse and duuuaaarrr........!!!

Dyah Ayu Larasati immediately turned her body and she was surprised after knowing there was someone who had stood behind her.

"It's rude of you to attack me in such a cowardly way...!!"yells Dyah Ayu Larasati.

"Your coward, in my world I don't know the word coward or knight to me all the same" said the man who attacked him earlier.

"You don't know who I am yet " said Dyah Ayu Larasati angrily.

Haaa...haaaa...haaaa.

"If I don't know who you're doing what I'm stopping you here" the man said.

"Tell me your name don't be convoluted" Dyah Ayu Larasati said.

"If you want to know the name I heard well my name is Gondo Mayit" the man said.

Hearing the words of the person who claimed to be named Gondo Mayit Dyah Ayu Larasati frowned because the name sounded foreign in his ears.
