The Twin Swordsman
THE RED MOON KINGDOM

With the movement like a butterfly Sariti Ningrum plays her sword, the moves by the moves she plays, the sound of the sword rippling around the place as Sarita swung her sword quickly.

Hiiiiaaaat.. blaaaar.. blaaaar.

Without feeling dozens of moves Sariti has played to make the whole body full of sweat .

hiiiaat arrived there was someone who attacked Sariti from the side, he was Brajadewa who wanted to try his mother's abilities, he was,

"out of all your abilities Brajadewa" Sariti said as she repelled the attack of Brajadewa,

getting a challenge from her mother Brajadewa immediately increased the tempo of her attack, but for Sariti Ningrum the Brajadewa attack has not been able to threaten her defense ,then with the movement of butterflies he immediately attacked behind Brajadewa to make her pushed back, making her push back,

not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his mother he immediately changed his style and doubled his attacks, in an instant the situation turned around, Sariti who had originally urged Brajadewa now replace him who was urged.

Sariti tried to attack Brawijaya from the right but suddenly Brajadewa twisted his body

did not want to be hit by a sabetage Brajadewa Sariti Ningrum forced Manarik attack and jump backwards.

"Quite my son you really overwhelmed me" Sariti Ningrum said.

"is mother okay" asked Brajadewa immediately approached her mother.

"of course Brajadewa's mother is fine" answered Sariti Ningrum then entered the house following Brajadewa behind her.

"Brajadeva get the mother water to drink"command Sariti Ningrum, Brajadewa also immediately obeyed his mother's orders, he said,

"this is the mother of her drinking water" Brajadewa said ,

"Why father and grandfather haven't come home" said Brajadewa,

"Maybe they have business in the Red Moon palace of Brajadewa" Sariti Ningrum replied as she poured water into her glass,

"According to mother when we will move to the palace her taste is not good to live here is already quiet smell again "Brajadeva.

"Brajadeva since when did you become a spoiled child ha...ah!!, this is the result if most of the life in the palace will be all good" Sariti Ningrum said with emotion, saying,

"Try if I think this place is worthy of us, my mother was a cooking concubine to live in this place" Brajadewa said in self-defense,

"Have.. I don't want to argue with you can be dizzy my head, then mom try to talk about this with your grandfather" answered Sariti Ningrum who quietly justified Brajadewa's speech .

"It's better" said Brajadewa.

Apparently after the raid to Prada Jaya Ki Jamprang and Gautama went to the palace of the Red Moon to fulfill the orders of Patih Lanang Seta while Sariti and Brajadewa were told Ki Jamprang to go to the mountain Lawu which is the headquarters of the leopard robbers.

"Mother how about we hunt into the forest while waiting for grandfather to come home from the Red Moon palace" Brajadewa said ,

"if you want to hunt, go alone, mother is lazy to come out" answered Sariti Ningrum indifferently with her son's invitation.

"do you not get bored here, come on mom" whine Brajadewa looks spoiled,

"yes I have, I let my mother accompany but not far away" said Sariti finally had to obey her son's will.

Finally, the two of them immediately set out to hunt, along the way Brajadewa strafing his mother with questions that made Sariti overwhelmed to answer him, until they did not feel they had reached the forest they were headed to.

"it is an honor for Gusti Patih's servant that Gusti Prabu entrusts the office to me" Ki Jamprang replied proudly,

Patih Lanang nodded his head to hear the ability of Ki jamprang.

Soon after came Gautama who also faced Patih Lanang Seta,

"the servant facing Gusti Patih apologized for the delay of Gusti's servant" Gautama said,

"sit down Gautama, said Patih Lanang Seta,

"thank you Gusti" Gautama said.

"know Gusti the second servant of Senopati and Gautama Senopati the third, then who was the first Senopati Gusti Patih" asked Ki Jamprang, who was the first Senopati,

"The first senopath is the gold medal holder he is Ramapati, so you two are under his command and for now you two have not been able to meet him because he is with the king"reply Patih Lanang Seta.

"I think that's all I tell you" continued Patih Lanang Seta,

After they were appointed as the second and third senopati Ki Jamprang and Gautama also intended to go to Mount Lawu to invite Sariti and Brajadewa to join the Red Moon palace to join them.

Meanwhile in Martapura

after a long journey, finally Rangga and Patih Kencana loka arrived at the palace Martapura.

Seeing the arrival of Rangga, a soldier standing guard in front of the gate immediately shouted to his friend who was inside to open the gate immediately.

"Open Gusti's door "yelling the soldier, he then bent his body when Rangga passed in front of him.

After the door opened Rangga and Patih Kencana Loka immediately entered the Palace , seeing the arrival of Rangga all the soldiers lowered their heads and saluted, seeing that Patih Kencana Loka felt astonished and full of question marks, out of curiosity he also asked Rangga about it,

"prince why do they have so much respect for the prince" Patih Kencana Loka asked, continuing to follow Rangga.

"Did the prince of a Senopati "said Patih Kencana Loka strafed Rangga with two questions at once,

"Take it like that Kencana Loka," answered Rangga indifferently, saying,

hearing the answer from Rangga, Patih Kencana also believed and did not ask again and continued to follow Rangga,

but after arriving in Patih Kencana Loka was shocked again when there was a woman who came to welcome the arrival of Rangga , she is the Goddess Sekar,

"Welcome to kanda prabu why go his long time kanda" said Dewi Sekar,

"there was a little obstacle on the road dinda so I was late to return to the palace" Rangga said,

"Kanda prabu, don't. don't prince is..."Kencana Loka did not continue her words because it felt like a dream,

"oh yes dinda this uncle Patih Kencana Loka" said Rangga,

"uncle Kencana Loka..paman.."call Rangga repeatedly , he immediately touched the shoulders of Kencana Loka who was standing stunned,

"in the prince there is a king in this kingdom" Patih Kencana Loka said as if not believing,

hearing that Patih Kencana Loka immediately fell to his knees in front of Rangga,

"honor me Gusti Prabu forgive this ignorant servant" Patih Kencana Loka said,

"wake up uncle don't have to act like that sit down" Rangga said,

"well Gusti Prabu" said Patih Kencana Loka while standing .

"Dinda please tell the waiter to prepare food for me and Uncle Kencana Loka" Rangga said,

"well kanda" said Dewi Sekar then carry out her husband's orders.

"Gusti Prabu I have decided to perpetuate the body soul of the servant in this kingdom, maybe with this I can reduce the guilt of the servant to Gusti Prabu Anggara Dewa" said Patih Kencana Loka.

"Even uncle do not blame yourself too much, because not only uncle who feels guilty I also feel guilty for what happened in Prada Jaya yesterday was Uncle" Rangga said,

"regarding the decision of Uncle to serve this kingdom I accept it with pleasure, because this kingdom does need people like uncle" continued Rangga,

"thank you Gusti I promised to always be loyal to Gusti and this kingdom" Patih Kencana Loka said in earnest.

"uncle does not need to promise like that because I already know the loyalty of uncle to romo prabu" said Rangga,

"sorry kanda prabu, the food is ready" said Dewi Sekar,

"thank you dinda, let's get our uncle to eat together" Rangga said,

"but.. Gusti ..." said Patih Kencana Loka hesitantly,

"no need to hesitate come on uncle" said Rangga while pulling the bad hand Loka,

Kencana Loka felt as if she was looking at the God Anggara in Rangga because the nature of Rangga with her is really not much different.

Finally inevitably Kencana Loka also ate together.

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

The destruction of Prada Jaya really makes Rangga must act immediately to find the culprit ,he was really furious with the atrocities they had committed, especially to the villagers who were victims when they did not know what.

And that afternoon Rangga also held a meeting to discuss about the destruction of his Prada Jaya with the higher-ups of Martapura.

"It is not that Prada Jaya is a big kingdom in prabu why it can easily be destroyed in a very fast time" said Arya Soma, who was the leader of the royal family,

"that's my question all along when I wonder why it could be like that" said Rangga,

"Can Ki Jamprang be helped by other kingdoms to attack Prada Jaya dinda prabu" said Arya Soma,

"it might be so kanda if you look at the former" replied Rangga, who,

"sorry Gusti Prabu there who want me to show Gusti prabu" said Pati Kencana Loka,

"please please uncle Patih Kencana Loka" Rangga said calling complete Kencana Loka along with his position,

"yesterday the servant found this silver medal Gusti" Patih Kencana Loka said as he handed the medal to Rangga,

"if not wrong this is a sign of identification or identity of someone who was given an important position in a team" said Rangga while observing the medal.

"try to give attention to the symbol that is on this medal" said Rangga while giving the medal to Arya Soma,

Arya Soma also observed the object while thinking for so long because the symbol looks foreign in his eyes.

"I just saw this symbol dinda prabu, but if I think the symbol of this month seems to be the symbol of a kingdom or maybe the symbol of a city dinda prabu" said Arya Soma, aka,

"but come to think of it like there is no kingdom around here that has a symbol like that kanda" said Rangga ,

"yes dinda prabu right I have also never seen a kingdom that has such a symbol" said Arya Soma,

"sorry Gusti prabu I have a way so that we can know which royal symbol is" said Patih Kencana Loka,

"say uncle Patih Kencana Loka, how is that" asked Rangga, saying,

"Does Gusti Prabu still remember the necklace Gusti prabu found in Prada Jaya yesterday" said Patih Kencana Loka,

"uncle means this necklace" asked Rangga,

"really Gusti Prabu, I think that if we can find the person wearing the necklace we most likely can know which royal emblem is the moon" Patih Kencana Loka explained,

"So according to uncle Kencana Loka these necklaces and medallions are related" asked Rangga,

"i think so Gusti Prabu because the necklace and medal were found in the same place and incident" said Patih Kencana Loka

"yes, yes, Kencana Loka's uncle is right" Rangga said while nodding a nod.

"If so soon we must act immediately in prabu" said Arya Soma,

rangga had not yet responded to the words Arya Soma suddenly came a soldier, a soldier,

"servant wants to report Gusti Prabu" said a soldier who suddenly came,

"please let the soldier "ask Rangga,

"There was a soldier from Kumaya kingdom who wanted to face Gusti Prabu" the soldier replied,

"well hurry' tell me to come in" Rangga said,

"well Gusti Prabu" said the soldier and left immediately,

soon the soldier arrived in front of Rangga,

"servant facing Gusti prabu" said the kumaya soldier,

"is there anything important soldier" asked Rangga,

"servant wants to tell Gusti Prabu that kumaya was attacked by an army not known to Gusti" said the soldier,

"What..!!!"rangga said with surprise.

Everyone present at the meeting was also surprised not to play after hearing the words of the kumaya soldier,

"then how is the current state of kumaya the soldier "asked Rangga impatiently,

"no survivors Gusti everyone was mercilessly killed" the soldier said,

"if so the reality is, this is not just a raid kanda prabu precisely this massacre" said Arya Soma, aka,

"this is similar to what happened in Prada Jaya "said Rangga slowly,

"Do you know the characteristics of the team" asked Rangga,

"they were wearing all-black Gusti Prabu" the soldier replied,

hearing the words of the soldier Rangga was silent and everyone present was silent as if they were thinking,

"Gusti Prabu , if not mistaken it looks like the Black Crow Gusti troops" said Patih Kencana Loka,

"Some Black, not if they were destroyed several years ago" said Rangga,

"true Gusti, but from his characteristics I am sure it is indeed the Black Crow Gusti" said Patih Kencana Loka,

"It looks like the appearance of this Black Crow for Gusti's revenge" Patih Kencana Loka said.

"isn't Prada Jaya destroyed 'then who else wants the Black Crow to destroy uncle" asked Rangga,

"I think the destruction of Prada Jaya and Kumaya, interconnected Gusti Prabu" said Senopati Wiro Kusumo,

"Why uncle Wiro Kusumo said that" asked Arya Soma,

"As Gusti Prabu said earlier, that the incident in Kumaya is similar to the one in Prada Jaya Gusti Patih "say Wiro Kusumo,

"sorry Gusti prabu, servant of the destruction of Kumaya and Prada Jaya is their first step before they continue the attack on another kingdom Gusti" said Pandan Wangi who from earlier was just silent,

"Explain what you mean Pandan Wangi "say Wiro Kusumo,

"This way after Prada Jaya and Kumaya were destroyed did not rule out the possibility, the kingdom of Argara or the kingdom of Markuraka was their target following Gusti" said Pandan Wangi.

"Your opinion makes sense as well as Pandan Wangi" Rangga said,

"then what are the plans of the dinda prabu now" asked Patih Arya Soma, who was,

"I've thought about it so calm down" replied Rangga.
