DARK SWORDSMAN
CHAPTRE 23

...***...

Palace, Kaputren.

"Sincerely servant wrestling the queen." A soldier saluted.

"What's a soldier?." Queen Arundaya Dewani wiped away her tears.

"Please forgive the queen's glasti. There is news of grief that I will pass on to the queen's wrestling."

The deg!.

The mood of Queen Arundaya at that time began to be unsettled. His heart trembled in pain as his mind wandered erratically. "If you report the death of my son. You better say my thanks to the kanda prabu maharaja kanigara rajendra. Thank you for letting go of my son in a peaceful way."

"Room." Queen Aristawati Estiana was very sad to hear the words of Queen Arundaya Dewani.

"Yund. I'm gonna go into my room first."

"Room." He wanted to chase after Queen Arundaya Dewani, but he was curious about what kind of grief the soldier was trying to convey. "Tell me, what sad news are you going to tell your queen?."

"Please forgive the queen. It's about raden lakeswara being killed on a shortcut to the palace."

The deg!.

Queen Aristawati Estiana was shocked, her conscience as if being hit hard by a very hard Palu.

"Are you not mistaken in delivering the news to the soldier?!."

"No wrestling queen. Because the soldier who delivered raden lakeswara said it directly."

"What happened, really?. There's no way Nanda Lakeswara just died!. Not becus!. How could you be negligent?. Is this what you all planned to get rid of my son Handa lakeswara?." Queen Aristawati Estiana was so hurt listening to the Warrior that she snapped at him in a loud voice. He certainly knows very definitely this is part of the plan of Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Rajendra.

"According to their evidence. At that time they were confronted by a herd of robbers. They say the herd of robbers had a grudge against raden lakeswara. They ran raden lakeswara, when the soldiers were busy facing the robbers wrestling the queen."

"Oh!. The great god. How could this happen?." He did not think how could that negligence happen?.

"Please forgive the queen. Then I'm a pamper. There's something I have to take care of." The soldier left the place.

"Oh!. Dewat ayang agung, hopefully rayi arundaya dewani can pass this all with a spacious heart." He could not imagine what it would be like to be in such tremendous pain when faced with such an endless trial of life.

Ban forest.

Dusk had greeted, at that time there was a black crow that flew into the cottage or house belonging to a group of warriors of darkness.

The deg!.

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was surprised to see a black crow standing very casually in front of Arya Susena?.

"What news do you want to tell me?." Arya Susena entered the subconscious of the black crow with the Jurus she had.

"It's not just a name. Even the arya susena used the dark animals to gather information?." In Raden kanigara lakeswara's heart goosebumps. He did not expect to see such a scary thing before him?.

No matter how long it takes, Arya Susena has returned. "As I suspected raden."

"What problem?."

"The announcement of raden's death has spread very quickly."

The deg!.

Raden Lakeswara's kanigara has been slapped by Arya Susena's remarks.

"What about my mother's fate?. If I no longer enter the palace?. What am I supposed to do?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara is very worried.

"Raden need not worry about the safety of raden's mother."

BRACH.

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara hit the table hard, until there was a considerable crack, although not to the point of destroying the table. "You're telling me to calm down?. Don't you have a mother?. Don't you understand how much it hurts my heart to think about my mother's safety?. Susena arya!." He shouted very loudly.

The deg!.

Somehow he felt a very different heat at that time, plus again?. The dark black air Arya Susena was showing at that time was like the eve of a terrible demon. Raden Kanigara Lakeswara's body shuddered in fear, until it felt like he was glued to the spot. His body felt stiff and could not be moved at all.

"What according to raden?. A slave born of an animal?. Or was born from the fairytale fruit of a beautiful princess born in a cucumber?." His heart felt very sick, hot, and wanted to be angry.

"Damn!. Why can't I move my body?." In his heart began to panic with what he saw, because the crow seemed to enter the body of Arya susena and form a pair of wings that are very wide?. "Graven smile." In his mind it crossed like that when he saw the condition of Arya susena.

"What's your goal to avenge your father's death?!." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara.

"It's not just revenge, Raden. But this was the duty given by the late father to free the people from suffering." The anger he felt as it went up and down, as if toying with his mood. "Because the late patih's father had known how bad temperament possessed by the rajendra canigara." Arya Susena seems to be holding a very big grudge on Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Rajendra. "Faithful followers of the gusti prabu maharaja kanigara maheswara are certainly very aware of this. That's why we're gathering strength, to give up legitimate power to raden." Arya Susena told me a little about everything they did back then.

There was no response whatsoever from Raden Lakeswara's canigara, as he did not expect Arya Susena to be one of the sons of the royal higher-ups led by the previous king. Raden Kanigara Lakeswara certainly did not know it all, if not told by Arya Susena at the time.

"Want?. What would you do if the legitimate throne had been taken?. Are you going to attack me together?." There was a bad feeling he felt.

"Raden don't think like that cruel king. For those of us who may not know the prabu maharaja kanigara maheswara it is a foolish ambition that is useless." The reply. "But to the people and our parents who are loyal followers of the gusti prabu maharaja kanigara maheswara?. Surely saving a very valuable mandate in order to save the future of this kingdom in a better direction." Continue with a very tight feeling. "If raden does not want to get the throne?. At least we can show someone to be the new king, and form a better royal system than the current one." Arya Susena doesn't talk anymore. "Remember raden. This man is neither good, nor completely evil. Even if I am a bad person?. It's easy for me to kill raden. When raden entered this forbidden forest area?. Raden would really go home by name alone. If raden's exposed to the claws of this black crow?." He stroked the black wings that adorned his back. "I guarantee Raden will die on the spot." Continue with a creepy grin.

"I guessed it. You're not just an arya susena warrior." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara should be on the lookout for what Arya Susena will do to him.

Meanwhile Darsana and Bajra are looking for some wood?. They had obtained a wood that was perfect for making Raden Kanigara Lakeswara's booths. But at that time they were talking about Arya Susena.

"I did not expect at all, if the arya susena would involve raden lakeswara in our fight later."

"She's really crazy. You should not be surprised by his attitude anymore. I don't know what's on his mind involves raden kanigara lakeswara in this group of ours."

"But?. Didn't that say if there was an announcement to kill us all it was you bajra?."

"Yes. I said it." The reply. "What does the problem matter?." He turned the question around.

"Surely raden lakeswara would be considered a state rebel. Because he joined us." Answer it while putting a few pieces of board into the cart.

"You have a very narrow mind." He said in great wonder. "I'm beginning to understand what you've been saying." He looked towards his friend. "I now understand why sometimes Arya Susena gets mad at you." Continue while taking over carrying the wooden cart.

"Huh?. What are you talking about, Bajra?"

"That's it. It's late, I want to rest. Aren't you tired?. I feel hungry too." Bajra refused to answer.

"You are this?. It's a pleasure to make me wonder what you're saying."

There was no response from Bajra, because he was lazy to answer. "You're such a bitch. I want to make a casket for you, Bajra."

On the other hand Nismara and Patari boru Saja returned to their cottage with lots of food.

"Good night raden." Patari served some food in front of Raden Kanigara Lakeswara.

"Good night to you too." Reply Raden Kanigara Lakeswara with a friendly smile.

"I'm sorry if we can only serve food like this on raden. Patari felt awkward, but he even got pinch Nismara. "What the hell?" Bisik Patari was very upset.

"Not to feel that way." Nismara was very upset.

Raden Kanigara Lakeswara only noticed that, because right now he was like a guest?. But somehow with his fate after this.

"Sit down here." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara invited Nismara and Patari to sit down. "I'm sorry if my arrival has caused trouble here."

The deg!.

Somehow the two did not have the heart to see the look on the face of Raden Kanigara Lakeswara like that.

"Absolutely no objection to raden." Patari sat down in front of Raden Kanigara lakeswara. "Please eat raden. It's still hot." Continue while taking dishes, rice, plus side dishes. "Hopefully Raden likes our cuisine, although it is not as delicious as palace cuisine." After that he left it to Raden Kanigara Lakeswara.

"Thank you, this." Reply while taking the plate.

"The same as raden." Patari blushed to see Raden Kanigara Lakeswara's smile.

"This kid was possessed where?. He said he hated the great?." In the heart of Arya Susena and Nismara were astonished by the attitude Patari showed.

Nismara also sat down, he took a plate, rice plus side dishes, without much talking he handed it to Arya Susena. "Tomorrow night you'll have to hand over a lot of money to me. The food in the village has started to rise. Because they get a very high tax price pressure for house taxes, merchandise, and raw materials that go into the village." Said it stiffly.

"alright. Tomorrow we'll move there." Reply Arya Susena.

But at that time Bajra and Darsana came with a look of fatigue. "Thank God you still have dinner." Bajra immediately took out his plate.

"It looks like it's going to rain tonight. So tonight I sleep in the bajra room only. Raden please sleep in the servant's room." Say it while taking dishes, side dishes and water. His voice back then sounded like someone who was extremely exhausted, and a person who was extremely hungry.

"alright. Thank you, for your kindness. I'm sorry, if I've made you guys nervous" he feels so moved, and so unwell at the same time.

"Then tonight we rest first. Tomorrow we head straight to the nearest village to check things out." Arya Susena watched them all. "For there are many soldiers standing guard in every village. I fear they are ordered to torture the people. Let's just kill for those who dare to torture the people." Further. After that he continued eating, he was hungry, because one day he had not eaten anything.

"Well, if it's like that." Reply them, in addition to Raden Kanigara Lakeswara.

"What is the purpose of forming this group? Is it just to disturb the king's calm? Or do they want to help the people?. I'll see how they act." In Raden Kanigara's heart Lakeswara was very anxious, curious, and afraid of what they were going to do. "Even father ah, no I must call what when I know who he really is?." In the heart of Raden Kanigara Lakeswara felt sorry for that fact. "But he married my mother. And now I'm the son of my own uncle?. It's so confusing." In his heart was very confused by what he had been going through all this time?. Can you still call it family?.
