HEIR TO THE KNIGHTS JATAYU

Blind Love

Cheers of joy rang out filling every corner of the war arena, not a few of them were weeping as they hugged their fellow soldiers nearby, the crying as a form of gratitude because in the terrible war they can still breathe to be reunited with their families even though the wounds adorn their bodies, some even have to be exposed because they lose one of their legs, or there is a muffled hand, there are those in their bodies still stuck arrows.

But not a single soldier complained or regretted participating in the war, they felt proud because they could be part of an army that was able to defend the sovereignty of the kingdom of Tirta Kencana, they felt proud because they could be part of the army that was able to defend the sovereignty of the kingdom of Tirta Kencana, they have pledged their lives to protect all citizens and leaders in the kingdom of Tirta Kencana.

Even more proud they can currently fight together with prince Ranu Mulya and princess Kencana Sari whom they respect so that their fighting power multiplies.

The soldiers returned to the fort in droves, some of the still-powerful warriors combed through the former war arena in search of their surviving companions but were unable to return so they had to be on a stretcher to return.

In addition to combing the place of war to find their surviving comrades they also look for the spoils of war left behind run and stay dead.

Three hundreds of horses belonging to the opponents left behind that they had still collected, shields and weapons weapons as well they got even some lucky ones to get a good heirloom kris or heirloom sword, either, all collected to be shared fairly later.

Senopati Mega Reksi led four hundreds of soldiers to create a mass grave hole for the soldiers who died, they dug a large and long hole because later they will bury the opposing soldier and soldier Tirta Kencana in one hole, even though in the world they are at odds at least in the grave they can come together as one.

Inside the fortress the fainted princess Kencana Sari now began to roar, as she tried to rise but was prevented by the healer who took care of her.

" Please princess, you should not sit down first, lie down first because the wound in the princess is still not healed,,,! " said the female healer who was special came to take care of the injured daughter Kencana Sari.

" How is the state of our war ,,? " ask Kencana Sari's daughter.

" Thank you to Sang Hyang Widi because we have won the war and safeguarded the sovereignty of this kingdom misti princess, "the healer replied.

Getting such an answer princess Kencana Sari felt relieved, she was able to rest and meditate to recover her injuries.

When Kencana Sari's daughter lay on her bed, her eyes glared at the moment of the end of the fight, she was happy because her love had helped her when she needed help, she imagined her comfort in the sling of Cakra so that it made her smile to her own smile, this did not escape the attention of the female healer but she did not dare to be presumptuous to ask why princess Kencana Sari smiled her own smile when her body condition was still sick.

In another room, Cakra was still waiting for Bajra's senopati who had just finished her meditation, now Bajra's senopati face had begun to brighten not as pale as before, but when she wanted to rise to get out, she said, he was prevented by Cakra.

" I want to see the state of prince Ranu Mulya and the commander of Restu Aji Cakra, please help me to get there,,! " senopati Bajra.

" I'm sorry, I'd rather not, because prince Ranu Mulya and commander Restu Aji are fine, he is still resting in his room, it would be better if the father does not disturb the prince and commander Ranu Mulya, it is better for the father to also rest to recover his energy, " replied Cakra.

Initially senopati Bajra insisted on wanting to see the prince Ranu Mulya, because after all he was responsible for the safety of the prince Ranu Mulya, but after getting an explanation from Cakra finally senopati Bajra accepted it.

Behind the carriage were Senopati Bajra and senopati Mega Reksi and Cakra who rode on horses followed by horsemen and pedati which contained the staple and spoils of war and in behind him trailed thousands of surviving troops, some on stretchers and riding on special pedicures of soldiers.

Two days they walked slowly as the foot soldiers were a little slow on their way.

Right that afternoon they began to enter the city of Tirta Kencana.

It turned out that when they entered the city, all the citizens of the city had welcomed them on the roadside, the ornaments of the janur they installed, and the, pennant pennant also they put on the side of the road to welcome their new war hero.

The young elders all gathered with cheers cheering the passing troops.

Their flowers sprinkled on the troops, while prince Ranu Mulya and princess Kencana Sari waved their hands to greet the citizens who welcomed them.

In addition to prince Ranu Mulya and princess Kencana Sari, Cakra also became the center of their attention, especially for the teenage girls, they admired the good looks and prowess of the young man who rode a horse beside his Father, every time he passed by a group of teenage girls, surely they all cried out hysterically in excitement and tried to attract the attention of Cakra.

Cakra could only shut up and return the cries of the girls with a smile, sometimes if someone shouted saying his name he would just nod his head in respect to that person.

Indeed there is a lot of excitement when Cakra passes them, there is a sign if also if such Cakra wants to be their husband or daughter-in-law so that the welcoming atmosphere becomes more festive.

But there is a person whose face is less liked by the actions of the parents who want to make Cakra son-in-law and to the girls who are flirtatious to attract the attention of Cakra, who is, he was always murmuring if anyone summoned Cakra flirtatiously, that sense of jealousy in his heart, he wanted to scold the girls but such circumstances could not be broken just because of trivial problems he ended up storing his annoyance in his heart.

After a while they had arrived at the royal square, here it was already inlaid even more festively, various decorations in pairs to welcome the soldiers who came, as well, in the square, there is also a lot of food for the newly arrived soldiers.

King Rangga Jaya himself who welcomed them with pleasure, initially the prince Ranu Mulya arranged to the king, then the king embraced the prince Ranu Mulya.

Likewise with the princess, she hugged king Rangga then hugged her mother while crying, then ran to her room crying because she was annoyed at the teenage girls on the road who teased Cakra earlier.

It was in that room that he could let out the aggravation of his heart.

The mother of princess Kencana Sari was confused by what happened to her daughter, she wanted to chase after her daughter but because she had to accompany her king to welcome the war heroes.

Meanwhile, because of the joy of the king of Rangga so that he did not realize the state of his crying daughter.

So great is the influence of love that blinds a person even though he is a princess who is empowered, still his heart is weak if he has to deal with love.
