DARK SWORDSMAN
CHAPTRE 22

The horse-drawn carriage was proceeding slowly, at which time Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was about to make a move. But at that time Arya Susena gave her a code to stay calm.

"Raden need not worry. It's a servant, arya susena." Arya Susena saluted.

"you?!." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was very surprised by the figure of Arya Susena who was different from what he saw last time.

"Renace. I'll tell you in a safer place." Arya Susena looks very relaxed.

"But why do you know? If I were in this place?." That was the question at the time.

"Radens. We are warriors of darkness." Arya Susena gave a small smile looking at Raden Kanigara Lakeswara. "Through the moves that I put on raden's body, I can figure it out." Very young, he said that?.

"So it's like that?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was not aware of it at all. He did not expect that Arya Susena could do that very young.

"Did Raden know the truth?. The truth about who Raden's father really is." Arya Susena was very curious, even though she had learned the truth through the moves she instilled in Raden Kanigara Lakeswara.

At that time Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was just silent because the strength of his heart was really very tested. His heart was very painful, sick, hard to accept that fact. "I knew it." He answered with a very hurt feeling. "If you know I'm going to come here through the style you instilled in me, then you know the truth, don't you?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was very reluctant to answer. His heart was deeply broken after knowing all that.

"Hamba can indeed listen to it very clearly raden. So clear, that it feels like I want to immediately follow raden to the palace to free raden, and give a very valuable lesson to the cruel king." Somehow he felt so hurt he said that.

"But why do you know?. If I wasn't the son of the maharaja kanigara rajendra?. What exactly are you planning on doing with me?." Suddenly Raden Kanigara Lakeswara thinks ill of Arya Susena who may have malicious intentions on him, using her to gain an advantage for the dark swordsman group.

"Hamba just wants to save raden from that cruel removal. Because if the rightful throne holders are killed, then they can create a new government order." Arya Susena could not imagine how the state of the kingdom would be. "Will raden leave this kingdom in a state of corruption?. Unless raden wants that to happen. Raden is the same as any other palace family?. Those who have absolutely no conscience to see the suffering of the people?." Arya Susena gave such a view.

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was thinking about what Arya Susena had told him. "Do I have to trust him?." In Raden Kanigara's heart Lakeswara tried to think of it with a clear heart.

"Therefore, Raden must restore the throne." Arya Susena gives fire plugs.

"But how?. I must have been presumed dead by all of them on this trip. I'm so happy with that." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was a little afraid of what he imagined. "I'm very worried about my mother's safety, if they find out, I'm in cahoots with you. My mother's fate is being preserved at this time."

"If the problem is, raden need not worry. I'll get everything raden needs."

"Don't give me hope. I don't want to harm my mother."

"Does the plan I've done to raden put Raden's life at risk?." That's the question of Arya Susena.

"Can I believe it?. Of course raden. Don't doubt my loyalty to Raden." Arya Susena looks very sincere, so Raden Kanigara Lakeswara has to be careful.

"It could be that it's their strategy to get rid of me." In Raden kanigara's heart Lakeswara was still thinking, are they trustworthy or not?.

"If raden still does not believe in the servant, then the servant will give half of the power of the power in the servant to raden. So that Raden believes in slaves."

"No need for susena. I trust you. But you don't betray my trust."

"I'm raden, of course."

Arya Susena is very happy with the trust that Raden Kanigara Lakeswara has given.

Meanwhile at the palace, precisely at the residence of the prabu wives of Maharaja Kanigara Rajendra.

"Rayi arundaya?. Queen Aristawati Estiana saw the grieving existence of Queen Arundaya Dewani.

"Yunda?." He immediately wiped his tears.

"Don't be sad, rayi. I'm still with you here."

"How could I not be sad?. My son Lakeswara is being taken out of the palace in a gravely wounded state." He could not hide his heart that was in excruciating pain. "My son is the only thing left of our love story. Between me and kanda maheswara." That was the expression of his extremely sick, poignant, and unbroken mood.

"However you must be strong rayi." Queen Aristawati Estiana tried to strengthen the heart of Queen Arundaya Dewani.

"Every day I always strengthen my mood. When kanda prabu rajendra treated my son in a very unfair way." His heart grew even more painful considering all of that. "Did yanda not see that?. How do you treat my son." His heart could not accept all of that.

"Surely I saw what I did to your son. But please strengthen your heart."

"I always try yunda. Even when my son left I was in a state of severe pain."

Yes, that is what Queen Arundaya Dewani feels. His heart was even filled with an extremely overwhelming fear when he imagined his son leaving him for eternity.

Meanwhile in the main palace.

There was a palace soldier who came to report about their duties that they had planned before.

"Hamba facing gusti prabu."

"So soon did you come?. Have you completed the task I gave you well?."

"Of course gusti prabu. The servant has accomplished the task of the servant very well."

"good. Tell me how it happened back then."

"As planned. When we arrived at the border, we were indeed by a herd of Robbers."

"good. You guys are reliable." Prabu Kanigara Rajendra was very pleased with what his soldiers had said. "Then announce the death of Lakeswara to the people, if he has been killed by the herd of Dark Swordsmen."

"But I will execute the commandment of Gusti Prabu as well as possible."

"Then do it quickly."

"Sandika gusti prabu." The soldier immediately left the place, of course, doing what his master had ordered.

"It's also a good plan that I've made. Not all in vain." In his heart felt how incredibly happy he was. "Kanda maheswara's. Have you seen it?. How will I arrange this kingdom into a kingdom with a new system." He said while imagining how his friend built this palace with love and peace?. "Sorry maheswara. I will not make such a kingdom, and I will not follow your feeble steps." That's what makes him excited to get it all. "Goodbye to the rule of a sovereign kingdom, and welcome to a leadership filled with cries colonized in its own land." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Rajendra laughed triumphantly. At that moment he felt how to become a king who stood on top of a very majestic kingdom.

The forbidden forest.

By then they had all reached there safely without any interference from the guard soldiers. Raden Kanigara Lakeswara and Arya Susena had just got off the horse carriage.

"Arya Susena has no morals!. How dare he order me to accompany this chariot into the forbidden forest." In his heart was deeply cursed Arya Susena.

"He wants to kill me or what?. How once he made me his slave." In Bajra's heart also cursed that.

Darsana and Bajra are herding the horse-drawn carriage?. Now both look very tired walking very far.

"So you've been hiding in the forbidden forest all this time?."

"Raden shouldn't be surprised like that. Because the news has clearly said, if we're here."

"The news says so. But I just didn't expect it, if you guys were here."

"Then I hope Raden gets used to it here. Because this place will be a raden house, until raden regains the rightful throne."

The deg!.

Bajra, Darsana, Patari and Nismara were very surprised by what Arya Susena said.

"You're planning something really crazy!."

"You're still sane, right?. Why are you even planning something so crazy!."

"If you die?. Then don't drag us into your crazy plan!."

"You are crazy Arya!."

Patari, Nismara, Bajra, and Darsana were so upset that they all attacked Arya Susena with words that made the young man angry.

"Do you not attack me with such words?. You guys have dared to attack me?!. Hm?!.."

The deg!.

But at that time they were all very surprised by the air Arya Susena showed. Surely make them all goosebumps Seeing the black aura that always grips anyone, and do not forget the heat that makes the sound around becomes hot.

"Hot. Why does it suddenly feel hot. What the hell is going on?. Susena arya. Why did the forest feel so hot?. Is it going to rain?." With that innocent look on his face, Raden Kanigara Lakeswara said that.

Patari, Darsana, Bajra and Nismara immediately moved away from the enraged Arya Susena. "Raden take it easy. Sometimes this forest feels so hot." Reply with a friendly smile, but it looks very creepy.

The deg!.

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was very surprised by what he saw at the time. "Why does he look so creepy ?." In Raden Kanigara's heart Lakeswara was completely goosebumps at seeing Arya Suena's appearance which was very different from the previous one.

"Raden don't approach the mad swordsman." Nismara gave a warning.

"That's raden. He's a mad swordsman!. Raden better not come near her." Patari was increasingly frightened by Arya Susena's aura at the time.

"Raden better not hang out with him!. He's crazy, raden's gonna go crazy." Darsana also gave a warning to Raden Arya Susena.

"Is that really arya susena?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was worried about that.

"How dare you speak ill of me to raden kanigara lakeswara?. Arya Susena is getting creepy.

"That's raden. The heat came from his body!." Reply Bajra with fear.

"Raden could see it so easily." Frightenedly he said so.

"You're tired of living apparently?. I will gladly overthrow you to that cruel king." He said in a horrible voice.

The deg!.

For some reason, it was like seeing an angel of death in the real world. "Don't go near you mad swordsman." Say them simultaneously.

"Ah!. I remember, I'm going to look for good quality wood, Surely we have to make a new room for raden kanigara lakeswara. I'll look for him today too. So that raden kanigara lakeswara can rest tonight." Darsana immediately took a thousand steps to escape.

"Wait along!. You won't be able to do that alone!. I'll help you!." Bajra also followed Darsana who had fled first.

"Hey!. You traitors!. Don't run!." Patari and Nismara also ran away. The two also did not want to accept Arya Susena's anger.

"I should run away too?." In Raden Kanigara's heart Lakeswara was a little nervous about what he had been feeling at the time.

"Hufy!." Arya Susena sighed very tiredly. "Let's go to raden. Let's discuss some of the problems I'm going to tell Raden."

"Can't you not smile like that arya susena?. Your smile is terrible. So I can't concentrate a bit."

"Oh?. My smile is like this. Let's go in."

"alright. I'm going in. But I hope you're not doing anything weird."

"Raden take it easy. I'm not going to do anything weird."

"Your words scare me even more."

"Aahaha!. Raden take it easy."

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara does not know, if Arya Susena turned out to have a terrible nature. His friends ran away with his anger. "I wish I was safe." In his heart he only hoped.
