The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Moon Orchid Goddess

"The Moon Orchid Staple?

Lanjar Hill?

Looks like I've heard your big names in the north. Then why are the mules bothering you?", tanya Panji Tejo Laksono who slightly forgot the request from the Regent of Panji Gunungsari tried to remember something while staring at the two young women in white clothes.

"They have long held a grudge against us because their leader was defeated by two of our elders, the Golden Orchid Goddess and the Silver Orchid Goddess. Therefore, every student they meet us wherever they are, they will definitely look for because", said Orchid Kuning with a long sigh.

"This is the territory of the Duchy of Seloageng. It's far enough from your place. What business is there to get to this place?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono later.

"We are here on the orders of Dewi Orchid Bulan to meet you, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono ", said the Yellow Orchid immediately.

"I don't know any elders or disciples in your village. Then what business is looking for me?", Panji Tejo Laksono frowned at the astonished omen of hearing the words spoken by the Yellow Orchid just now.

At that time, there were several white schools and schools in the Panjalu region that had big names in the martial world. Among them are Padepokan Padas Putih, Padepokan Orchid Bulan and Padepokan Swords Clouds in the area of Mount Lawu. Panji Tejo Laksono's life that is much struggling with palace life makes him less familiar with the people of the martial world despite having high martial skills.

"Indeed, the knights of the Kingdom of Panjalu very rarely come into contact with the problems of the martial world. But our leader in Bukit Lanjar said that Prabu Jayengrana is his grandson and Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono is his great-grandson", explained Orchid Kuning soon.

Kaget Panji Tejo Laksono heard the Yellow Orchid mention the name of Bukit Lanjar again and this immediately reminded him of the request from Eyangnya in the Bracelets.

"Tell me, what do you want from me for the Moon Orchid Padepokan?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Our Moon Orchid Goddess as our leader asked Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo to come to our place. There is something that our leader wants to talk about with Gusti Prince ", said the Yellow Orchid while staring at the Panji Tejo Laksono as if asking for a definite answer from this young man.

Mmmmmm...

"It seems that indeed I have to go to Bukit Lanjar before leaving for Jenggala.

Alright Yellow Orchid and Lembayung Orchid, I am willing to come to your place but I will be there another week after the affairs of Seloageng Duchy are settled. I asked to convey my words to the Moon Orchid Goddess", Panji Tejo Laksono nodded subtly willingly.

Seeing the Panji Tejo Laksono giving a gesture of agreement, the Yellow Orchid and the Lembayung Orchid immediately smiled happily.

"Thankfully, we were finally able to return home to Bukit Lanjar immediately after completing the task given to us.

Thank you very much Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono. We both beg to say goodbye", Orchid Kuning immediately in honor of Panji Tejo Laksono followed by Orchid Lembayung. The two young women in white clothes immediately rushed to leave the place.

After the minor event was over, Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers immediately continued their journey towards the Duchy of Seloageng City.

Along the way, a beautiful sight lay before my eyes. Paddy fields and fields look verdant with a variety of rice plants and palawija. Now this is indeed the most suitable season for growing crops.

After passing through several women and pakuwon in the west of Seloageng Duchy City, they entered the boundary of Seloageng City. Then the tares of people and oxcarts carrying goods were seen filling the city's highways. Trade between regions is recovering as the war between Panjalu and Jenggala ends.

the 8 soldiers who were standing guard around the city gate immediately saluted when Panji Tejo Laksono passed by. Without waiting for orders, they immediately opened the way for the ruler of this Seloageng Duchy.

The residents of the Duchy of Seloageng immediately pulled over on the edge of the city highway when the group of Panji Tejo Laksono passed by. This is the manners that occurred at that time which is also a form of respect for the regional leader.

In front of the gate of the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng, 8 soldiers who were on duty directly saluted the Panji Tejo Laksono and his followers.

A wide smile was engraved on the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono as soon as he saw the state of Seloageng palace that was almost recovered after the raid the other day. It seems that dozens of carpenters, masons and building porters are busy arranging some parts of the palace that are still not completed.

A burly young man appears to be supervising the rebuilding of the Seloageng Duchy Palace. He is Naratama, the Wind Glazing Swordsman who has now become one of the high-ranking officers of Seloageng soldiers with the rank of Juru. Panji Tejo Laksono runs his horse slowly and stops behind Naratama.

"You did your job well, Naratama!".

The words made Naratama turn towards the source of the sound. Upon seeing the arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends, the young man immediately worshipped the new Duke of Seloageng.

"Worship of Gusti's servant Prince Duke..

Do not praise the servant if this work is still not well completed" Naratama said quickly.

"I did assign to Naratama to continue the task of rebuilding the palace after a call from Gusti Prabu Jayengrana, Nakmas Prince Adipati.

So far he is the most painstaking and patient to oversee the construction of this place" said Tumenggung Sindupraja soon.

"Hehehehe..

With the help of the two of you and the courtiers of Seloageng, I can calm down when I leave later" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a deep smile.

Song Zhao Meng aka Dewi Wulandari, Gayatri and Ayu Ratna were busy chatting in the sari garden of the palace when Panji Tejo Laksono entered the place. Gayatri who saw the arrival of the husband, without waiting any longer immediately darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono and hit the young prince's body.

"Kangmas Prince..

You're home!!".

Gayatri's behavior instantly made Ayu Ratna and Song Zhao Meng startled and turned their heads towards them. As soon as they saw their husband coming, the two beautiful women immediately rushed towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

Gayatri hugged Panji Tejo Laksono from the front, Song Zhao Meng from the left while Ayu Ratna from the right. Panji Tejo Laksono also faced the actions of his three wives.

"Hey, do you want to make Kangmas Prince asphyxiate with the three of you? Mbok ya one-on-one take turns so that Kangmas Prince is not confused so", said loudly Luh Jingga who immediately made Ayu Ratna, who was not confused, Gayatri and Song Zhao Meng let go of his embrace at Panji Tejo Laksono and looked at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono who was confused by their attitude.

"I'm sorry our Kangmas Prince. We are too happy with Kangmas' presence to be like a memory loss like this..

Next time we will not repeat again" Ayu Ratna said with a meaningful smile.

"That's Brother Thee..

Missed you so much that I forgot my manners. I'm sorry Brother Thee", Song Zhao Meng continued immediately.

"They are, indeed, Prince Kangmas.

As long as the Prince Kangmas left, he always talked about Prince Kangmas. What, what to eat, Luh Jingga able to care for Kangmas or not, Kirana how fate. Uh anyway there's something they fuss about every day", Gayatri chuckled amusedly at Ayu Ratna and Song Zhao Meng who glared wide at her for complaining to their husband.

"Bukankah kau juga sama, Kangmbok Gayatri?

It could be Kangmbok to complain us like that" said Ayu Ratna who did not accept the Gayatri complaint.

"That's enough! Don't fuss yourself.. I went back to Seloageng to get some peace of soul gathered with you guys so please no more commotion. Do you understand?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the faces of all the women.

"Sendiko dawuh Kangmas Prince", said the four beautiful women simultaneously and also a nod of the head from Dyah Kirana.

But the calm also did not last long as they no longer fuss to determine who will accompany Panji Tejo Laksono to sleep tonight. The banner of Tejo Laksono until massaging his head because of their commotion.

'Is this love? The dizziness is endless?'

****

While Panji Tejo Laksono in the mess with his wives, nun far North precisely in the area of Bukit Lanjar where stood a silat padepokan that has a big name in the world of Jawadwipa Land, Jawadwipa, The Moon Orchid.

In front of a bedroom located in the main hall of the padepokan which only received the female student, two middle-aged women wearing all-white clothes with some parts made of gold and silver were pacing in front of the room. The faces of the two women who still had the veil of beauty in their youth seemed to imply a deep concern.

"How about this Golden Orchid Kangmbok?

The teacher had almost a full moon more or less unwilling to stop his meditation. Though Kangmbok knew for himself the state of the teacher was sick at that time. I'm worried about her safety" said the woman wearing a silver cloth who called the other woman Golden Orchid.

Yes, they are Gold Orchids and Silver Orchids. The two main disciples of the Moon Orchid Padepokan who are direct disciples of the main leader, the Moon Orchid Goddess. The two women had decided not to marry and devoted their lives to caring for the Moon Orchid Goddess in return for the help of their teacher.

"I'm confused too, Silver..

But I was also helpless against the stubbornness of Master who wanted to meet Prabu Jayengrana's son.

Now I can only combine the hopes of my two students Yellow Orchid and Lembayung Orchid to meet that person immediately" said the Golden Orchid with a heavy sigh.

"Can't we persuade the teacher to stop her mediation until your two students come back here, Kangmbok?", there was a worried tone of voice spoken from the mouth of the Silver Orchid.

"I've done it many times, Silver.

But the teacher also insisted on not coming out of his room before Panji Tejo Laksono came here", Golden Orchid shook his head.

The Silver Orchid gazed at the tightly closed bedroom door as if it wanted to break it down so that its teacher would be willing to get out of there for fear of the condition of the body of the woman over 100 years old. But he also knew that his teacher was very stubborn even more so after he turned 100 years old.

'Hopefully Panji Tejo Laksono will come here soon'
