Rakapati rushed into the duchy palace. He headed straight to the duke's private room. There Adipati Prahasta was still sitting tied up with a calm face and a smile on his lips. His smile grew wider when he saw Rakapati coming towards him.
"You'd better give up your intention, Rakapati. Without causing any bloodshed, I will hand over the Duchy of Karang Asem to you," said Adipati Prahasta.
"Shut up!" snapped Prahasta angrily.
"It's uselessEven if you fight back, the Limbangan soldiers are no match for you. Especially Panglima Lohgender. You will regret it for the rest of your life," Adipati Prahasta, who really loves his stepson, tries to make him realize.
Rakapati stuck his head close to Adipati Prahasta's face. His face was bright red with glowing red eyes. Slowly he took out his kelewang from under his shirt. Adipati Prahasta kept smiling seeing the flashing weapon in his stepdaughter's hand.
"Kill me, Rakapati. If that makes you satisfied," Adipati Prahasta said very calmly.
"You really have to come, Prahasta. You have to...!" Rakapati hissed tensely.
"My life was also useless. For years I wanted a child. Now even though I only got a stepchild, I don't feel sorry. I really can't possibly have children anymore. Come on, kill me. I'm satisfied because the child I educated and raised , has passion and aspirations for his homeland. I am proud to have you, Rakapati," said Adipati Prahasta with tears in his eyes. But his tone remained calm reflecting pride.
Rakapati became silent as he heard Adipati Prahasta's words which touched him to the depths of his heart. Honestly, his little heart admitted that all this time he really felt the full affection of his stepfather. Never in the least did Duke Prahasta treat him as a stepson without rights in the Duchy of Karang Asem.
Adipati Prahasta married three times, but none of his wives were able to bear children. And as soon as he married Puspa Lukita who already had a son, he poured all his love and affection on his stepson. Even though Puspa Lukita and Rakapati should have become prisoners of war during the collapse of the Karang Asem Kingdom. And with the blessing of King Limbangan, he married Puspa Lukita. Now the child she has educated and cared for since she was four years old, has a kelewang attached to her neck. However, Adipati Prahasta did not feel the least bit sorry or angry with Rakapati's attitude. In his heart he felt proud because Rakapati wanted to return Karang Asem to its heyday. Adipati Prahasta himself actually disagreed when he had to attack the Karang Asem Kingdom at that time.
"Rakapati, where is your mother?" asked Duke Prahasta. "What are you asking my mother for?" snorted Rakapati
still hostile, but his tone had softened a bit.
"You'd better take your mother to the Duchy of Sedana. You won't be successful with just your current strength. The soldiers of Limbangan are too strong for you. Arrange for even greater strength in the Duchy of Sedana if you still want to restore the glory of Karang Asem. I'm sure, your uncle wants to help your cause, Rakapati," said Adipati Prahasta.
Rakapati took his kelewang away from Adipati Prahasta's neck. His head turned to hear footsteps.
steps enterthis room. A middle-aged woman but still looking beautiful walked over to him.
"Mother..." Rakapati stepped back two steps.
"Your father's advice is correct, my son. Go to the Duchy of Sedana. Meet your uncle Winicitra. Give this to him," said Puspa Lukita while handing over a black necklace with a gold ring.
"Mother..." Rakapati's voice seemed to chokein the throat. "Go, my son. Stay in the Limestone Hills together
Grandfather Wanakara. He is a holy hermit. I'm sure he will accept you because you are the only child of Sirandana. Uncle Winicitra will take you there. Show this necklace to Eyang Wanakara. He must have known about this necklace."
Rakapati did notable to say more. He just accepted his mother's gift, and kept it behind the fold of his belt. Rakapati looked at Adipati Prahasta who was smiling and nodded his head at him. At that moment, the coldness and hardness of Ratapati's heart melted away, splashed with tenderness and affection. There was a feeling of regret in his heart because he had acted dishonestly to the man who loved him so much.
"Balungpati, I leave my child to you. Take care of his safety," said Puspa Lukita.
Balungpati bowed respectfully. Without being ordered again, he immediately untied Adipati Prahasta's body. Balungpati immediately hugged the fat old man's leg. He was truly sorry that he had betrayed a truly wise and exemplary person. Adipati Prahasta held Balungpati's shoulder and made him stand up.
"You don't need to act like that, Balungpati. I leave Rakapati's safety to you." said Duke Prahasta softly.
"Forgive me, Gusti," said Balungpati choked. Adipati Prahasta patted his head on the shoulder
that troop. Meanwhile Rakapati prostrated at his mother's feet, and kissed the back of the middle-aged woman's hand. For a moment he looked at Duke Prahasta after rising to his feet. A moment later, the two men who were originally hostile, hugged each other tightly. They hugged each other for a while, then looked at each other without saying another word.
"Later you will restore the glory of the Karang Asem Kingdom, my son," whispered Adipati Prahasta.
"Father..." Rakapati could no longer speak. "Hurry and go. Commander Lohgender is coming here!"
exclaimed Adipati Prahasta somewhat restrainedhis voice.
Without saying anything else, Rakapati and Balungpati immediately jumped out of the window. In an instant their bodies disappeared behind the high and thick walls of the duchy. At that time Commander Lohgender along with several soldiers had entered the room.
"Are you okay bro?" asked Commander Lohgender a little worried.
"No," said Duke Prahasta smiling.
"Kakang Prahasta, it's best to stop the fighting. Too many victims have fallen," said Puspa Lukita.
Adipati Prahasta smiled, then nodded. Without saying anything else, he immediately stepped out of the room and ordered the soldiers who were fighting to stop fighting.After he saw the fighting winding down, Duke
Prahastaimmediately said.
"Hi, soldiers of my pride, let us reunite to build the Duchy of Karang Asem as it was before. Let's not be divided just because there are differences of opinion among us!"
"Agreed..." the soldiers shouted in unison, expressing their joy to see their leader ready to rebuild the duchy that had been divided.
The soldiers who had sided with Rakapati, immediately turned back to Adipati Prahasta's side. Especially when they see their leader no longer visible nose.
The Duchy of Karang Asem has calmed down again with the emergence of Adipati Prahasta with Puspa Lukita. The Lohgender Commander also did not ask any more questions after receiving an explanation that Rakapati had fled. But Adipati Prahasta and Puspa Lukita did not want to say where Rakapati had gone. But actually what weighed on Commander Lohgender's mind was not Rakapati's departure, but the disappearance of Arya Duta who was taken away by the Thousand Faces Devil in a fainting state.
Where did the Thousand Face Devil or Klenting Kuning take Arya Duta?
In a small hut near the edge of the Forest of Tarik, Klenting Kuning was seen standing looking at Arya Duta who was limp and helpless because the Thousand Faces Devil had his blood flowed. Only his eyes glared full of anger seeing the beautiful woman smiling.
Klenting Kuning approached the wooden cot where Arya Duta was lying helplessly, then she sat on the edge of the cot. His hands gently stroked the young man's neck and chest. The gentle movement of Klenting Kuning's fingers apparently opened a point on the neck so that Arya Duta could move his head.
"Bitch! What are you going to do?" Arya Duta snapped when Klenting Kuning's fingers opened her shirt.
"Shut up, good boy. You'll have a good timeheaven," sighed Klenting Kuning, unable to hold back the turmoil in her chest any longer.
"Ikh...!" Arya Duta turned his face to the side as Klenting Kuning started kissing his neck and face.
The Thousand Face Demon was getting more and more lustful. His breath began to rush, snorting warmly around him
Arya Duta's neck and face. The young man didn't realize that Klenting Kuning was spreading her powerful spell to conquer men. Gradually, the magic of 'Soul Melting' penetrated into the body and disturbed Arya Duta's nerves.
"Oh..." Arya Duta started to sigh.
He tried with all his might to fight the increasingly burning turmoil in his chest. Arya Duta shook his head with his eyelids tightly closed. It felt futile for him to fight against something strange within himself. The feeling was getting more and more uncontrollable.
Arya Duta felt his head getting dizzy, and his eyes were starting to open, dizzy. His chest was pounding harder, rumbling like waves in the ocean. Little by little, Arya Duta's consciousness began to fade, until finally she completely forgot. It was at that moment that Klenting Kuning released the pressure on the young man's body.
Arya Duta is not rebelling, but now he is even responding to all the warmth that Klenting Kuning has given him. The sweet smell that spread from the woman's body made Arya Duta even more drunk.
"Aaah…."Klenting Kuning sighed softly.
***
Klenting Kuning smiled with satisfaction. His hands moved quickly to tidy up his clothes, then his hands were already holding a small green knife. The woman was still smiling looking at Arya Duta who was lying weak and helpless. His whole body was drenched in sweat. His eyes widened as he saw Klenting Kuning holding a knife.
"Darling, I have to kill you. I don't want to die at the hands of the man who has satisfied me." muttered Klenting Kuning slowly.
Arya Duta's eyes widened without being able tosound, even though its mouth is wide open.
"Go quietly to hell, hi... hi... hi...!" Arya Duta tried to scream as loud as he could when the green knife stabbed him deeply in the chest. No sound came out of the young man's mouth. He didn't twitch either, only his facial expression stiffened. Blood spurted out of the chest where the knife had pierced the hole
"Ha ha ha...!" Klenting Kuning laughed crisply.
Arya Duta immediately died without being able to put up the slightest resistance. Klenting Kuning pulled the knife from the poor young man's body, and slid it under his shirt. Her laughter came back crisp and loose.
"No one can face Klenting Kuning!" he said arrogantly.
"Except me!"
Klenting Kuning's laughter stopped as soon as a loud answer echoed. The voice seemed to be heard from all directions. The Thousand Faced Demon immediately lunged out of the hut. Twice he flipped through the air before landing lightly on the roof.
"Satan! Who are you!" snapped Klenting Kuning"I!"
KlentingYellow was aghast when he turned his head. You can see the Sacred Eagle Warrior standing quietly on the roof as well. Klenting Kuning was even more surprised, because Pandan Wangi was also in this place. The girl is waiting downstairs.
"You are surprised, KlentingYellow?"
"Humph! What are you doing here?" Klenting Kuning snorted, ignoring Rangga's question, or the Sacred Eagle Warrior.
Klenting Kuning was indeed surprised, but he was also happy to see the Sacred Eagle Warrior. Since he failed
looked down at the young man, his curiosity intensified. He wasn't satisfied if he couldn't subdue the handsome swordsman. (Read the Sacred Eagle Warrior Series in the story, Battle on Devil's Hill).
"You can answer your own question, Klenting Kuning."
"Kakang Rangga, Arya Duta is dead!" Pandan Wangi shoutedfrom below.
"Devil!" growled Ranga.
"Ha ha ha...!" Klenting Kuning laughed arrogantly. He immediately jumped down and without further ado attacked Pandan Wangi.
Getting a sudden attack, Pandan Wangi was a little troubled too. But he immediately dropped down, and immediately arched his body away. Klenting Kuning did not give the girl a chance. He immediately launched subsequent attacks that were even more devastating.
Rangga who witnessed the fight, immediately jumped down. He stood tall watching the fight of the two beauties. In several moves, the battle is still in balance. But on the fifteenth move, it appears that Pandan Wangi is starting to get pushed back. Several times Klenting Kuning's punches and kicks landed squarely on the Death Fan's body.
"Use the Geni Dragon Sword, Pandan!" shouted Rangga loudly.
"No!" Pandan Wangi replied immediately pulling out his prided weapon in the form of a white steel fan.
Pandan Wangi no longer wants to use the Naga Geni sword. He almost died with that wild influential sword. If only Rangga had not helped her with the Sacred Eagle sword, I don't know what would have happened to the girl.
"Good! With a gun, I'll send you to hell faster!" snorted Klenting Kuning.
"You're done, devil! Hiyaaa...!"
Pandan Wangi immediately attacked the Thousand Face Demon with a fan in his hand. Klenting Kuning still serves him with bare hands. Even though Pandan Wangi had already used his prided weapon, after going through ten more moves, the girl was still under great pressure.
Rangga, who witnessed the fight, became worried too. Klenting Kuning was indeed no match for Pandan Wangi, even though the girl had almost mastered the death of 'Naga Sewu', but she was still not perfect. And it seems that Klenting Kuning is still too tough for Pandan Wangi who casts the 'Naga Sewu' magic. The condition of Pandan Wangi is getting worse. He became Klenting Kuning's monthly monthly in the last months.
"Pandan, retreat...'" shouted Rangga, immediately jumping into the middle of the battle.
Pandan Wangi wiped the blood that filled his mouth. His eyes were sharp looking at Klenting Kuning. However, he had to admit he wouldn't be able to match that Thousand-Faces Devil in another five moves. Pandan Wangi immediately took a few steps back. "I like fighting with you, Rangga. But I'm more
love to make love with you," said Klenting Kuning. "Let me kill that wild woman, Kakang!"
Pandan Wangi was furious.
"Ah, apparently you also like Rangga. Yes, I'm happy to have a rival." greeted Klenting Kuning, glancing coquettishly at Rangga.
"Bastard!" Pandan Wangi's face turned red.
He roughly jerked Rangga's hand trying to stop him. Without wasting any more time, Pandan Wangi immediately calmed the Thousand Faced Demon. The overflowing anger made the girl desperate. He immediately drew the Geni Dragon Sword, even though he knew the danger to both the opponent and the wielder.
"Eh!" Klenting Kuning gasped in surprise at the prestige of the sword that emitted a bright red light.
Klenting Kuning's surprise didn't last long, because she had to immediately jump to avoid Pandan Wangi's attack. Each flick always contains extraordinary heat. Klenting Kuning, so be careful when facing Pandan Wangi who uses the Naga Geni sword.
Twenty moves quickly passed, it seemed that Pandan Wangi could no longer master the sword. His movements were uncontrollable, his face was red and his eyes were burning with murderous intent. While Klenting Kuning was getting more and more troubled by Pandan Wangi's strange and uncontrollable attacks, he looked very desperate. His breath hitched as the air around him thinned.
"Hiyaa..!" Pandan Wangi suddenly shouted loudly.
As fast as lightning Klenting Kuningthrew his body into the air. And at that moment, Naga Geni's sword flashed quickly, slashing the body that was flipping in the air.
"Aaaakh..." A shrill scream came from the mouth of the Thousand Faced Demon. His body split into two halves and fell on the ground.
"Pandanus...!" called Rangga loudly while pulling out his sword.
Cring!
"Come on and fight me!" shouted Rangga while drawing the Sacred Eagle sword.
"Brother...!" Pandan Wangi gasped in surprise.
"Come on, hurry up! fight me!" cried Ranga. At that time, Panglima Lohgender and around twenty soldiers arrived at the place. The Commander of the Limbangan Kingdom was surprised to see two warriors facing each other with their weapons drawn and under their feet lay the body of a woman. The Lohgender Commander didn't understand why the two white warriors could face each other?
