The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Duke Sudaraksa's greatest fear.
"Alright, I will ask the same question. How is the development of the duchy you are leading, Duke?""Everything is fine, Prime Minister.As long as I have been the Duke of Jayakerta, everything has been running normally. The people are also quite prosperous," Duke Sudaraksa answered firmly.Prime Minister Bayu Aji furrowed his brows. The answer given by Duke Sudaraksa did not align with what he had just seen. "Now tell me, what are the parameters of prosperity for the people of Jayakerta, according to you?"Duke Sudaraksa fell silent. He did not know how to answer the question posed to him.A mocking smile was clearly etched on Prime Minister Bayu Aji’s lips. "Do you mean to say that the many vagrants and beggars along the roads of the duchy I passed earlier are a sign of prosperity in your opinion?"Duke Sudaraksa’s mind was racing as he faced the second most important person in the Jaya Buana Kingdom, who was known for his intelligence."Those vagrants and beggars are not native res

In line with what Duke Sudaraksa felt, Sidharta experienced the same. His fear continued to grow, and the specter of the death penalty danced before his eyes."I also do not wish to kill the soldiers of the Jayakerta duchy, Prime Minister. My purpose here in helping Sanjaya is solely to seek justice for the massacre of Sanjaya's family by these two—Sidharta and Duke Sudaraksa." Arya looked at Duke Sudaraksa and Sidharta alternately."Sanjaya has lied, Prime Minister. I am not as accused by the Grand Senopati. The perpetrator of Sanjaya's family massacre is Sidharta, Prime Minister." Duke Sudaraksa desperately sought an escape.Sidharta was stunned in disbelief. He felt forced to become the scapegoat for deeds they had both committed."I never thought you would only seek to save yourself, Sudaraksa! Yet you played a role in the massacre of Sanjaya's family. You even took the largest share of Sanjaya's father's inheritance.""Silence!" shouted Prime Minister Bayu Aji. His voice thundere

"Let's go inside!" invited King Wijaya Kusuma, receiving nods from the two beautiful young women.After a soldier opened the door, the three of them stepped into the grand hall.King Dharma Kusuma and Prince Purbaya stood and bowed in respect as the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom approached them."My brother, Dharma, how have you been? It has been a long time since you last visited me," said King Wijaya Kusuma, welcoming his younger brother."I'm doing well, Your Majesty," replied King Dharma Kusuma, his face expressionless. He was still holding back his emotions because he had yet to see the young man his son had mentioned.Prince Purbaya glanced at Princess Laras and Ratnasari in turn. His desire to possess both of them grew stronger. The two women were equally beautiful and had figures that could make any man swallow his saliva.King Wijaya Kusuma walked toward his throne. His mind was still uneasy, eager to know the real reason his brother had come to visit him."What brings you
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya’s Decision
"It is true, Your Majesty. Duke Sudaraksa was involved in the massacre of Sanjaya’s family. I have already sentenced him to death because his crimes were beyond reason," reported Prime Minister Bayu Aji."Then where is Sanjaya now? Did he not return here with you?""Sanjaya did return, Your Majesty. However, on the way, he decided to go back to Jayakerta to assist Caraka, whom I appointed as the temporary leader there.""Who is Caraka?" King Wijaya Kusuma furrowed his brow."Caraka used to work for Sanjaya’s father, Your Majesty. Because of his good character, I saw no issue in appointing him as the temporary leader of Jayakerta until the official successor you appoint arrives.""For now, let him lead. If he performs well, I may consider making him the permanent Duke."A heavy sigh escaped from King Wijaya Kusuma's lips."What troubles Your Majesty?" Arya asked after noticing the unusual expression on the ruler of Jaya Buana.King Wijaya Kusuma gazed at Arya for a long moment. "Are yo

"Sorry, I won’t repeat it next time," he said, holding his lover’s hands tightly."Promise?"Arya nodded. "I promise. Now sit down, there’s something I need to talk about."Ratnasari settled her well-shaped figure onto the cushioned seat beside Arya."Please come closer, Princess. Sit by my side," Arya said.Princess Laras lifted her face. Suddenly, her heart pounded wildly. Something she had never expected was happening—sitting side by side with that handsome young man was something she had only imagined.The beautiful princess was frozen for a moment before Ratnasari stood up and took her hand. A slight smile formed as she nodded."You both know about the war challenge King Dharma Kusuma has given to His Majesty, don’t you?" Arya asked after the two stunning women had seated themselves beside him.Ratnasari and Princess Laras gave small nods."You don’t have to worry. As long as I am still a

Before anyone could speak, the handsome young man stood up again. "If any of you officials want my position, take it! But if something happens that leads to our defeat, I will hunt him down wherever he goes and tear him to pieces!"The officials lowered their heads in fear as the newly appointed Grand Commander, who had only been in position for a few days, let his anger explode."It's terrifying when Arya is angry," muttered Prime Minister Bayu Aji. He believed that the young man's principles in defending the people were non-negotiable."Very well, Commander. I agree with your proposal. You may depart, but take some people with you," said King Wijaya Kusuma, trying to calm Arya, who was burning with emotion.Arya shook his head slightly. "I will go alone, Your Majesty. If I have to protect others, my mission will not be effective.""Very well, but be careful. When will you depart, Commander?""Perhaps tomorrow, Your Ma

Arya furrowed his brows. "How can you understand it in such detail, Sir?""Because I was born in that village, hahahaha!" Prime Minister Bayu Aji's laughter echoed loudly. "And Satrowardoyo is my elder brother, Arya.""No wonder you understand it so well." Arya forced a smile."I will write a letter and give it to my brother Sastro. He will surely help you," said Prime Minister Bayu Aji.The forty-year-old prime minister was a great help to Arya in understanding the unfamiliar place he was heading to. Moreover, Prime Minister Bayu Aji explained in detail the layout of the capital city of Cakrabuana.Once their discussion was deemed sufficient, Arya ordered three spies to depart first.

The Sword Of The Fire Dragon King Dharmalaksana's Doubt
King Wijaya Kusuma smiled warmly, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere. “My apologies, Your Majesty… There is something we need to discuss, and it is of utmost importance. Prince Arya— I mean, Prince Jayalaksana— is the Supreme Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom. Right now, he is on his way to the capital city of the Cakrabuana Kingdom for reconnaissance.”“My son is the Supreme Commander? He is only seventeen years old. Are you joking, King Wijaya?”“I would not joke about this, Your Majesty. Prince Arya— I mean, Prince Jayalaksana— was appointed as Supreme Commander because of his extraordinary abilities. Despite his young age, his combat skills and strategic thinking surpass even everyone in this palace,” King Wijaya Kusuma explained.King Dharmalaksana furrowed his brows. He suddenly doubted whether the young man in question was really his son. As far as he knew, Jayalaksana had no combat skills whatsoever. His only expertise was hun

Curious about what he felt, Arya gathered the courage to ask the three men."Excuse me, Uncle. I noticed that the villagers here seem to live in hardship. Is there a particular reason for this?"The three men, who had been chatting to pass the time, suddenly stopped their activity."Why do you ask that, young man? Are you trying to insult the people of this village?" one of the men asked with a displeased expression."Please don’t misunderstand me, Uncle. I’m just surprised by what I see. Every village I passed before arriving here seems to be in a similar condition. Why is that? Is there no land to cultivate, or is there another reason?"The man let out a deep sigh, his gaze empty as he stared into the darkness before him."It wasn’t always like this, young man. This village, though small, was once prosperous. But ever since His Majesty, King Girindra Kusumawardhana, passed away and his kingdom was split in two, everything changed completely."Arya furrowed his brows. He was starting
