Legend of the Swordsman Rama Parvati

Crown Prince Nala Pura

Nyai Alisha smiled, gently rubbing her son's head. His heart came with news of victory.

"Wira, your sister is traveling. He is not ready to be part of the royal family. Let it go, one day he'll come home. Looking at you."

"Dinda Hita?!" Arya Wira looked at her mother's astonishment.

Nyai Alisha took out a letter from under her cloak. Arya Wira read it, then nodded. Letter from Loka Hita, surely his sister sent him through the bird delivery message that was always carried by him.

In her letter, Loka Hita conveyed her brother's victory. Then saying goodbye will travel alone. He was not ready to be part of the Nala Pura kingdom. He still wanted to be free, exploring many places. One day, he *defi* will visit his family.

"Well, now calm down. Your sister's ability is more than enough to travel alone," entertain Nyai Alisha while re-inserting her letter.

"Mother, can the Lady ask you something?"

Nyai Alisha nodded.

"Why do you wear a mask? What if Commander Mahanta asks?"

Nyai Alisha is wearing a half-face mask. Covering around the eyes and nose. The bottom of the face remains open. Slowly, Nyai Alisha took off her mask.

Arya Wira. There's a pretty big scar. Crossing over the left forehead, over the eyes, down to the eyes, parallel to the nose. The scar was perfectly covered with a mask.

"I was scarred when Mother fought off the robber a few days ago," Nyai Alisha brought her face to Arya Wira's ear,

"Mothers purposely come out in their moments of work. Also deliberately let them scratch the wound deep enough on Mother's face. This wound can be the reason Mother wears a mask. Hiding the faces of people who might know your mother" she whispered slowly.

Arya Wira. Is that how serious Mother is to go from *her previous life*?! He was willing to hurt his own face.

"No need to worry, this wound has been treated by the village healer. Mother knows, this wound is not as bad as she looks," Nyai Alisha patted her child's shoulder.

Arya Wira nodded. Hoping that Commander Mahanta and his entourage do not recognize his mother later. When her mother went inside the cottage to meet some workers, Arya Wira looked up at the sky. His mind remembered the day of his victory in the competition.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

That day, after receiving congratulations from Prabu Caraka and the courtiers, Arya Wira looked for the face of Loka Hita. However, he did not find the face of his sister near Uncle Jaka. Arya Wira remembered very well, when she entered the arena, Loka Hita was still watching beside Uncle Jaka. Now, it only looks like Uncle Jaka is cheering happily. Where is his sister?!

"Arya Wira," a call from Commander Mahanta made her turn her head. "The wedding ceremony will be held immediately. You're gonna tell your family? Or, we'll send an emissary?"

"Let me pass this news on to my family, Commander." Arya Wira saluted.

"alright. But let some soldiers and palace messengers escort you" Commander Mahanta suggested.

"Daulat, Commander," Arya Wira saluted a swordsman.

Commander Mahanta smiled. In a moment, he was the one who had to pay his respects to the young man before him. He will be the son-in-law of Sang Prabu. What if this young man becomes his king. Becoming a Prabu in Nala Pura.

"Let me meet my family who participated, Commander," Arya Wira said.

"You may meet them after the Prabu family returns to the palace" Commander Mahanta pointed to the royal family who began to leave the stage. However, Prince Angga Perak approached Arya Wira and Commander Mahanta.

"Arya Wira, don't you want to see my sister's face, Dewi Nirmala?"

Arya Wira shook her head softly, "Let me look at her after we became husband and wife, Prince. Now, I am just an ordinary person who has no right to look at the face of the Princess" explained Arya Wira.

The Silver Angga Prince smiled proudly. Her sister's husband is really special. Not only was he strong, he was also very civilized.

After the return of the palace family, Arya Wira met Uncle Jaka with several soldiers and special warriors. Also accompanied by Commander Mahanta and Prince Angga Perak. Uncle Jaka greeted with a happy smile. Until almost forgot not to pay respect to the Commander and Prince.

"Where's Dinda Hita, Uncle?"

"Sorry, Den. I did not see Nini Loka Hita. The horse doesn't even exist. It's just, there's this under Aden's horse saddle," Uncle Jaka gave some scratched leaves.

It was the form of a letter he often made with Loka Hita while still in the forest. Short letter.

"*Sorry, Brother. Hita go first. Hita will tell this to Mother. Greetings, Hita*."

Arya Wira took a breath while shaking her head. Loka Hita must be gone. Loka Hita couldn't have gotten home. I don't know, Arya Wira can't guess the atmosphere of her sister when she won the competition earlier.

Half a day before the group arrived at the village border, Arya Wira met Commander Mahanta. Ask permission to see his mother first, before the entourage. Commander Mahanta allows.

Arya Wira immediately jumped. He chose to use body twisting rather than riding. The body is more efficient to travel close distances.

"Truly high science that young man. It is fitting that he can defeat me during the competition," the Mahanta Commander thought as soon as Arya Wira left.

A week after the visit of Commander Mahanta, the wedding ceremony was held. The coronation of Arya Wira as crown prince.

Arya Wira is very handsome and handsome in palace clothes. Moreover, the crown of a prince flashed on his head. So endearing. It is very compatible with Goddess Nirmala. Her father's face was so manawan in wedding clothes.

Arya Wira herself was very fascinated to look at the face of Goddess Nirmala. Like a shining moon. Like an angel descending from a shadow.

Nyai Alisha is present in the ceremony. Wearing a Mahanta Commander gift mask. A charming carved mask with a shiny gold layer. The royal family and the courtiers accepted Nyai Alisha's reasoning. They already knew it from the Commander of Mahanta -*who did not recognize Nyai Alisha when Nyai Alisha unmasked her at the previous meeting*. After the ceremony, Nyai Alisha decided to return to the village.

"Sorry, Gusti Prabu," revered Nyai Alisha as saying goodbye, "Hamba is more comfortable living in the village. The village where slaves raised their sons. Please forgive me, Gusti Prabu."

No one can prevent Nyai Alisha. So, Arya Wira's mother returned to the village with several other villagers. Only Uncle Jaka lives with Arya Wira in the palace. That was at the request of Arya Wira herself.

"Take good care of yourself and your wife, Wira," Nyai Alisha hugged her son before returning.

"*And keep our big secret*" he whispered faintly in Arya Wira's ear. Whispers that no one can hear except Arya Wira.

The most important message from a mother. The message that will be the establishment of Arya Wira. A message never forgotten by the crown prince, Prince Arya Wira.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

The night sky is beautiful with stars in the sky. A month since Nala Pura had a new crown prince. The crown prince who was now staring at the beautiful flickering star. Thinking about many things.

"Kanda Hero," a soft voice called out to him from behind. A very familiar voice.

Arya Wira turned her head, her wife walked over. Dewi Nirmala did not wear any decorations on her head except for a few white flowers. Flowers that make her beautiful hair look more beautiful. The beautiful woman was also wearing only a simple royal dress.

"What's up, Kanda?" Dewi Nirmala hugs Arya Wira from behind.

"Dinda Nirmala hasn't slept?" Arya Wira asked back.

"How do I sleep, Kanda? Kanda is restless here. What's up, Kanda?" Goddess Nirmala put her head on her husband's shoulders.

"You only think of sister, Dinda," Arya Wira stared at the stars.

"A month more he wandered and had not visited here. Where is he now?"

Arya Wira released the embrace of Goddess Nirmala, then twisted her body. He was facing the goddess Nirmala. Gently caressed the head of the woman who had occupied her heart since they met face to face. Maybe that's love at first sight. *Although in fact, they had known each other long before the day of the competition*.

"You miss Kanda's sister so much, don't you?" Dewi Nirmala buried her head into the chest of her husband's field.

"Sure, Dinda," Arya Wira kept caressing Dewi Nirmala's hair, "although Kanda was sure, she was fine there."

"He's very strong. Better than Kanda himself. Must have been able to pass through the obstacles in his wandering."

Silence for a moment. Goddess Nirmala chose silence, only listening without responding. She often heard her husband tell her about his sister. Hita Loka. Very strong cheerful girl. Stronger than himself.

"Let's go in, Dinda. We should go to bed soon. After all, tomorrow Kanda must return to meet the Commander of Mahanta," Arya Wira loosened her embrace.

After marriage, Arya Wira was educated by courtiers about the science of state governance. And Arya Wira mastered it quickly. He also had to go around the palace, knowing every corner of the palace he would lead. Then, get to know each regional leader who is his representative. Not to forget, know the regions of the kingdom. For this matter, Arya Wira's ability was more than enough. He had traveled a lot and explored the corners of this vast kingdom.

Finally, Arya Wira studied warfare with the Commander of Mahanta. This is very difficult for Arya Wira. Fighting as a warrior leader is not the same as fighting as a warrior. There are many things to think and think about. In addition to learning that, Panglima Mahanta deigned to teach Arya Wira some martial arts.

"I have always felt, Prince is very similar to my former lord's son. I have always been convinced to pass down these moves to the Prince" said Commander Mahanta when he explained his reasons for teaching Arya Wira.

Commander Mahanta taught almost all his knowledge. In fact, even to the Perak Angga, Commander Mahanta did not teach him many styles. The heart of Commander Mahanta is more inclined to Arya Wira. And the Silver Angga was never envious or jealous.

"I'm sorry, but I've always felt that Prince's sister was my long-dead best friend's replacement. I love him very much." That's what Angga Perak said a few days ago.

While Arya Wira was sleeping, someone she thought was still awake there. Deep, deep in the woods. Awake, remembering the bleak past. She is Loka Hita aka Ratri Parvati. The daughter of her father and mother. The royal princess Nala Pura who had long disappeared. Along with his sister and mother. *Prince Rama Wangi and Queen Erina Maheswari*.....
