Legend of the Ruler Ring

Young Kumbara Tournament

Hearing the name of the Royal Princess, Sena lowered her head limp. If he usually acts cold to everyone to be away, but the way it failed before the Goddess Lasmini, it even makes him closer.

Even the sound of Lasmini shoes roaring from a distance makes Sena more goosebumps. Arjunta who just saw Dewi Lasmini gulp saliva because of her beauty. Although Isyana is beautiful but Lasmini has a beauty class like an angel.

Tumenggung Raharja stepped forward to welcome the Princess Royal.

"Honor the Princess, what is the need to visit this simple residence". Raharja bowed respectfully but felt strange for Princess Lasmini's sudden visit which was notoriously cold even to her family.

Lasmini just walked past Raharja. Since entering the room. His eyes were always staring at the face of a cold young man who was none other than Sena. Anggun Lasmini sat right in front of Sena.

"We meet again". Princess Lasmini looked at Sena who seemed to care nothing for her to make Arjunta and Raharja look in astonishment.

"Where else would this cold young man know a princess of the Kingdom?". Arjunta said in his heart. His heart grew upset because Sena was always surrounded by luck whether it was power, heirloom and even women.

Sena who felt full stood up leaving the room without caring about others. He was unsure of being able to contain his emotions as Lasmini continued to look at him while smiling with hidden intent.

"Tumenggung Raharja, it seems that I will visit here more often". Lasmini smiled coldly at Raharja before leaving the residence. Leaving Arjunta and Raharja who still do not understand the relationship of the royal Princess and Sena.

***

Sena toured the residence Tumenggung Raharja to avoid Dewi Lasmini. Every corner of the building contained a warrior training hall. The sound of shouting and practice sparring filled Sena's hearing. If not for his promise to Raharja. He'll leave this noisy place soon.

Raharja approached Sena who was seen looking at the twilight sky. Raharja understands that Sena does not like crowds and noise. It is clear from his behavior and expression.

Sena who is a guest of Tumenggung is placed in a small house located at the end of the Raharja Residence. There's a little far from the hustle and bustle of warrior training.

" Alright, here you will stay until the Young Kumbara Tournament is over. Hope you stay here". Raharja patted Sena on the shoulder before leaving her in a house with a small fish pond.

For a week before the tournament began, Sena locked herself in the house. Other than practicing and reading, he only looked at the dozens of fish swimming in the pond . Fortunately, during this week, Dewi Lasmini did not visit.

Just like the day before. Not bored Sena pay attention to the fish that continues to spin in the pool that has been ornamented as beautiful as possible.

"Actually what I live for, there's nothing interesting". Mumbled Sena who seemed to be smiling trying to understand the meaning of life. Sena is now like a blank paper, his life used to be a little colored because of the presence of Bi Ratih and Jaya Bhaya.

Sena thought this kind of life was what she expected. Life is quiet inside the house, there is no shortage of food and not meeting many people. But the longer the loneliness increasingly gnawing at his mind and body.

Soon Raharja came with a waiter with armor and red robes typical of Tumenggung Raharja troops.

Seeing Sena nod without much protest. Raharja is getting more cheerful. Raharja then gives the card of the tournament participants to Sena

"Son I like your personality who always keeps your word. Don't forget to win this tournament". Raharja kept a warm smile even though she would know Sena's response back. He thought of changing Sena's cold nature after getting information from Arjunta.

"The world is wide, Son, engrave happiness in your heart, do not let your heart freeze because of your cold nature. Learn to like something so that you have a purpose in life. Only then will your life be meaningful". Raharja again walked away from Sena who was pensive trying to absorb the words Raharja addressed to her. Throughout the night Sena continues to be disturbed by Raharja's words about the purpose of life.

The day that awaited has arrived, thousands of people crowded the streets in Birawa City. Most are spectators who want to watch the event of the Young Kumbara Tournament.

The Kumbara Muda tournament is an event to give appreciation to young people to show their talent. The tournament was only followed by warriors aged 25 years and under. The participants were mostly from the white plaster and the Neutral Flow. Sometimes there are also young royal warriors who want to prove their abilities.

As Sena moved to the location of the tournament.in front of the gate of the residence tumenggung saw Arjunta and Isyana waiting. Isyana smiled welcoming Sena. Not because Sena looked handsome with armor and a robe fluttering on her shoulders but she could still see a man who was able to shake her heart.

Although Isyana did not show her affection directly. But it seemed to be implied from his face. But Sena is not a sensitive man and knows the simple sign. Ishana knew that too.

The three of them walked towards the tournament hall located in the northern part of Birawa City. Arjunta will also participate in the tournament representing the Sword of Truth.

Inside the hall was a vast battle arena and thousands of spectator seats surrounding it. Although the new opening event will be held in 1 hour but the frenzy of the tournament has spread to the hall.

Arjunta then separated to the chair provided for his paddle while Isyana and Sena to the Chair provided for the Swordsman Union.

"Sena let's go there. Uncle Giri is coming soon". Isyana pointed at the chair located in the northern part of the hall. There are lined chairs that have a special room for guests of honor including white flow Padepokan and Neutral group.

Time continued until all the seats of the audience were filled. One by one Padepokan and neutral groups have arrived.

Arjunta himself has now sat with 2 people from Padepokannya. It seems that the Sword of Truth will be represented by 2 participants and it appears that one old man dressed in White is sitting among the 2 young men.

"Sena, it's good to see you back". Giri Sawardhana had come with 4 people behind him. Although he did not know Sena more deeply, Giri was happy because Sena would represent the United Swordsman Sakti in this tournament. Giri who did not get a response from Sena understood a little from Isyana's explanation.

Long before Giri and Raharja had talked about Sena. The two agree on something without Sena's knowledge. Giri looked back at Isyana who seemed happy after hearing back Sena's arrival back to Birawa City and will take part in the Kumbara Muda tournament.

"Gommmmm"

In between their conversations there was a gong sound indicating the arrival of the royal family followed by Mahapatih and Tumenggung.
