DARK SWORDSMAN
THE CHAPTER 65

...****...

On that night they were still in the house of Goddess Astagina. At that time they were envious of Arya Susena who still had a mother. A mother who was very worried about her situation. Arya Susena has a very warm place back. However, at that time, Goddess Astagina did not expect her son to have many friends.

"You're arya susena's friend?." With a gentle smile he asked like that.

"real aunt. We're friends." Bajra answered. "Even if he seems to want to kill us sometimes." In his heart recalled how the heat was being spread by Arya Susena.

"Friends, he's the one who sometimes seems to want to kill us." In his heart Patari actually objected if said friend.

"Friends huh?." In Darsana's heart, she felt sad. "Maybe we thought he was our friend. If she?. Let's ask directly later if you have the mental safe to ask like that.

"Friends?. I doubt if Arya Susena thinks of us as her friends." In the heart of Nismara felt sad if considered friends. "She's the only one with bad intentions toward us." In his heart still remembered how Arya Susena treated them all.

It seems like they have their own assessment of Arya Susena. Do they have a different view of Arya Susena?. But in essence they do not doubt Arya Susena, only with the attitude of Arya Susena that like it makes them give a very out of reason, and almost strange opinion.

"Why are you getting involved in something so dangerous?. What about your parents?." There was a feeling of anxiety that he showed at that moment.

Darsana, Patari, Bajra, and Nismara both bowed while listening to the remark. For some reason, suddenly their hearts were very sad to hear the words of the old man.

"Sorry mother. They had all lost their parents in the rebellion of the kanigara rajendra." Arya Susena certainly knows how the condition of her friends.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I really don't know it at all." The guilty feeling just slipped in his heart as he listened to his son's words.

"It's okay, aunt. We all have bad luck. But at least Arya Susena is still lucky to have an aunt." Darsana could feel a very overwhelming feeling of envy at that moment.

"You may regard me as your mother. I want a lot of kids too." He tried to improve their mood.

"Is that really aunt?." Patari looks like she has hope of gaining a mother's affection.

"Then call me mother." The reply.

"Mother." Patari called it with a very heavy heart.

"Yes. That sounds better." Goddess Astagina smiled again.

"Oh. Mother." Patari wanted to cry because she wanted the love of a mother.

"My daughter." Goddess Astagina hugged Patari who had been crying in her arms.

Not far from there, Dharmapati Sardala Saguna and Asri Kasih were watching them with a very haru feeling.

"They're all very sad, because of the loss of the people they love."

"Yes. We feel it too." kanda." Of course, he also felt how to lose the figure of a mother he loved so much. But at least he was very lucky to have an older brother who was very attentive to him.

"They've lost many of the people they loved long ago." In Arya's heart Susena felt sympathy for her friends who had lost their parents.

They can all feel the loss of their loved ones. That's why they won't let that happen to anyone else. Their goal of becoming warriors of darkness is to protect good people from the spiteful nature of their leaders.

The next day at the palace.

At that time the Maharaja of Kanigara Lakeswara and Patih Warsa So were discussing about the security of the village and what they had done to fix some places in the kingdom of Telaga Dewa.

"For now the condition of some villages has been safe. We've managed to restore their condition." He looked carefully at the incoming data.

"Thank God it was like that, uncle. We must move immediately so that there will be no more inequality in this kingdom." A feeling of relief enveloped his heart.

But at that moment there was a soldier who had just entered. There seems to be some very important news that he is trying to convey.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu, Gusti Patih." He gave respect.

"What's a soldier?." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara asked.

"There was Gusti arya susena who was about to face." The answer.

"Please let him in." The reply.

"Sandika Gusti Prabu." After paying his respects he immediately left the place to tell Arya Susena to be welcome in.

"It's not usually that he comes to this palace. Maybe there's something he's trying to tell uncle." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara was a little surprised.

"We'll listen to what he's going to say to Nanda Prabu." Just like that was the answer from Patih Warsa So.

"Uncle Patih, Gusti Prabu." Arya Susena saluted.

"Sit down my brother." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara invited Arya Susena to sit down.

"Thank you Gusti Prabu." Reply with a friendly smile.

"It looks like you're about to deliver something very important. Because you're not usually in this palace."

"From some reports of slave comrades, there is a form of rebellion that will be carried out by the kingdom of tuah mustika." That was the important news he wanted to deliver at the time. "Is not the kingdom under the leadership of this royal palace?. But it seems they are preparing for war to rebel."

"Are you sure about that?. Aren't you wrong in getting that information?."

"Isn't that a banning forest crow?."

"Yes. The crows of the forbidden forest are connected to the kingdom of tuah mustika. The servant always ordered them to check the situation around the Prohibition Forest. But at that moment they saw there were some soldiers who kept coming there."

"Then we should check what's going on there. Do not let things happen that are not desirable later."

"Then we are warriors of darkness who will take care of them."

"But my brother."

"The duty of the swordsman of darkness will not cease only after this kingdom falls to the rightful holder of the throne. But who touches the people who want to revolt?. Then it is our duty as warriors of darkness that will eradicate them all."

For Arya Susena that task is very important for her. Because he had a very good leader, he would not allow the good King to be tainted by the blood of the rebellious people.

"alright. If that's what happened. I allow you to solve that problem. But if something happens to you later?. You should report to us immediately. We also don't want anything to happen to you that is the cornerstone of this palace."

"Sandika Gusti Prabu."

"Be careful if you're out there my son."

"Thank you uncle Patih. I'll remember all of Patih's uncle's advice." Arya Susena saluted the two palace leaders whom she deeply respected. "Then I say goodbye. Sampurasun."

"Rampes."

After that Arya Susena left the place, and did not forget the raven that had been fighting on her shoulder had now entered her body.

"Did he always act like that uncle?." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara was very curious about how the real attitude of Arya Susena. "As long as I do something with arya susena. At that moment I saw with my own eyes how they were committing cruel murders against people who intended to harm the people." Who will not be able to forget just what happened in that time. "Even against the soldiers commanded by the king?." That memory felt very strong when he saw how Arya Susena acted. "They don't care about that at all. Even when I saw those who slaughtered some soldiers who demanded a very high tax on the people." Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara was goosebumps remembering how the incident happened before his eyes. "Without compassion he killed anyone he thought was a very bad person."

"They have strengthened their hearts, that there is no compassion for those who are cruel to the people." Patih Warsa So of course know what they have been doing all this time. "That's why they're called warriors of darkness. Swordsman who has a dark heart against those who intend evil, swordsman who is darkened in heart when he sees those who are persecuted in front of them." He was a witness to what they had done. "Then they would unhesitatingly kill anyone who committed that crime before their eyes." Such sadists they.

Back to the past.

That morning they were discussing what they would do next. For the group of warriors of darkness they have to do it all with a chest of air.

"After breakfast. Surely we will help the village of the rock dam." Bajra, as someone who is in charge of collecting information of course he must know and will definitely happen in the village.

"What happened there?." Patari was a little curious about the information that Bajra was going to convey.

"Many moaning parents weep when their children are forcibly taken by the soldiers to be made into moults." Bajra conveyed the information he had obtained.

"What's the end?." Arya Susena this time asked.

"The tumblr of wealth." Bajra only answered like that.

"So this time you get information like that, Bajra?." Arya Susena looks very furious with what has been conveyed by Bajra.

"Yes, that's exactly the information I got." The reply.

"But what will you do?. Aren't you guys now the most feared fugitives?. If the palace finds out you're still helping the people. I'm sure they'll suffer even more." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara instead looks scared of what they will do.

"We black warriors, the warriors of darkness will not be afraid just because of such a threat." Darsana answered with a fiery feeling.

"If we were to carry out an all-out massacre on the part of the palace?. It was so easy for us to do. But the people's helpers for now are the top priority we have to resolve. After that we just do the planning in accordance with the wishes of all the people." Arya Susena this time who spoke.

"But why do you want me to be king?. Can anyone be a king?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was increasingly clueless about what they were saying.

"If Raden wants to die now, then I will gladly do."

"Everybody can be a king. But the King is not just any chosen person, if not of legitimate descent. Then it is the curse that will be obtained by a country. Including the throne obtained by the current rajendra." Arya Susena explained to Raden Kanigara Lakeswara. "At this time the country is being condemned for having a very cruel ruler. But if this country is led by legitimate descendants?. It will be a different story."

"If Raden wants to see that reality. In this one full moon we will show Raden how the suffering of the people, if this kingdom is led by a person with evil ambitions." Nismara also voiced out to express how she felt at that time. "Also the people who have stone hearts, because they are not at all legitimate leaders so they consider this kingdom to be just a toy for them."

"I don't understand at all what they're going to do. Dark warrior?. Why are they doing all this?. Did they do this just to find a name?."

"Raden can see with Raden's own eyes. Look carefully at the suffering of the people who have wanted peace. But in reality they didn't get it at all."

"Raden may have been in the palace all along. Feel how to be treated differently, right?."

The deg!.

"How can you know it's arya susena?." Raden Kanigara Lakeswara was very surprised by what Arya Susena had said.

"We told Raden that killing the palace was easy. But what is very difficult is to protect all the people from the cruel hands of a king who is now in power in this country." Arya Susena was seen smiling a little, the name of her mood at that moment was rumbling. "We warriors of darkness will not let it happen until it drags on. We will kill them with our hands if they dare to touch the people with their very cruel hands."

"Yes. Whatever risk we will bear later. We will never allow anyone to do anything inhumane."

"We will kill anyone, if they dare to do things that can harm the people."

"We are not all acting just to protect the people. But we also protect our right not to be taken for granted by those who are greedy toward us."

At that time they thought of nothing but the safety of the people. They are known as warriors of darkness for those who consider them rebellious. But for the people and they are warriors of darkness who have a conscience rather than a ruthless leader. For them the swordsman of darkness is a very deadly murder weapon. For them the swordsmen of darkness are sadists who have no feeling of killing people who are cruel to the people. Their blood has been spilled by the soldiers and nobles who have no mercy towards the people. Then what do you think of the true swordsman of darkness?. Is good?. Wicked?. Give value.
