In the late afternoon, along the road on the riverbank, there was a slight uproar.
Senopati Kingdom of Kaling Pura who found a piece of bark that has writing, handed the piece of bark to Roro Nastiti.
When reading the writing on the piece of bark, which although does not mention the name, but Roro Nastiti is very sure it was the writing of Puguh, Roro Nastiti looks restless and paced like a person who lost something.
Seeing this, Prince Kanaya Wijaya tried to calm Roro Nastiti.
"Roro Nastiti, calm your heart. Everything can be discussed" said Prince Kanaya Wijaya.
"But Prince, Puguh went alone .. " replied Roro Nastiti.
"Roro Nastiti !" said Prince Kanaya Wijaya while approaching and holding both hands of Roro Nastiti, "You have patience and stay here first. You accompanied me first, returning to the Kaling Pura Kingdom. You help me to arrange everything, all of you to make sure, that the situation of Kaling Pura Kingdom is really safe. After that, we set out together to join the other warriors in order to expel the Sky Tower Kingdom's war troops ! Pendekar Puguh must be there !"
Hearing the explanation of Prince Kanaya Wijaya, Roro Nastiti finally followed the entourage of Prince Kanaya Wijaya, heading to the Royal Palace of Kaling Pura.

Previously, on the battlefield. The arrival of Rengganis and Aswa Muka as well as Aswa Kudana, made Roro Nastiti and Prince Kanaya Wijaya in different places, losing heavy opponents. So that they could help the soldiers who were already very overwhelmed to face the Sky Tower Kingdom war troops that numbered more.
After the war forces that Prince Kanaya Wijaya faced were exhausted, inexplicably, Prince Kanaya Wijaya immediately remembered Roro Nastiti. Soon Prince Kanaya Wijaya darted to find Roro Nastiti.
Simultaneously, Roro Nastiti who fought alongside his soldiers, finally contributed greatly to the victory of the Kaling Pura Kingdom.
After the battle was over, Roro Nastiti darted away in search of Prince Kanaya Wijaya, to ensure his safety.
Finally Prince Kanaya Wijaya and Roro Nastiti can meet in the middle of the road along the river bank. Without them noticing, they held hands while talking to each other. Even their eyes were staring at each other for a long time.

Somewhere in a time that hasn't been at odds for too long. Puguh was darting very quickly towards the city of Kisma Pura Kingdom. The direction that coincidentally is the same as the direction of the departure of Rengganis.
However, until midnight, Puguh who continued to look for the existence of Rengganis, could not feel the existence of the vibration of Rengganis power.
Without realizing it, Puguh continued to run until the morning. To see the circumstances around him, Puguh darted upwards, and while hovering looked around him.
"It turns out I've been quite close to Kisma Pura Kingdom. What happened to the city ?" mumbling Puguh.
Finally Puguh decided to enter the kingdom of Kisma Pura Kingdom first, before looking for Rengganis.
However, as it approached the border of Kotaraja, Puguh felt a strangeness along the border of Kotaraja. The entrance to the city even to the entrance gate of the city looks lonely, even the number of gate guard soldiers is few, not as much as usual.
Seeing that, Puguh remembered with Ki Prana Psyche who once said, if you want to meet him, can enter the city. Often Ki Prana Soul is around the Royal Palace of Kisma Pura.
But, just now Puguh was about to find a person who could be asked, suddenly appeared in front of him a warrior dressed in the style of a beggar.
"Pendekar Puguh, already awaited Ki Prana Soul and the others at headquarters !" said the warrior dressed as a beggar.
Puguh was just about to ask where he could meet them all, but the beggar-clothed swordsman had already darted away.
Finally Puguh while trying to remember, walked around the palace building.
When it reached a corner of the road, Puguh immediately shot in a direction and had a turn in direction several times.
Some time later, Puguh arrived in front of a simple building but looked quite neat. A moment later, the front door of the building was opened from inside and out Ki Prana Psyche.
"Please enter Pendekar Puguh !" said Ki Prana Soul who looks smiling happily with the arrival of Puguh.
Puguh immediately entered the simple building and then sat in front of Ki Prana Psyche. Puguh saw, inside the building there was only Ki Prana Soul.
"Ki Prana Psyche, why are there no other warriors accompanying Ki Prana Psyche here ? And why does Kotaraja feel more lonely, since from the road to the gate of this kotaraja ?" ask Puguh.
"Pendekar Puguh, before I answer your question, may I ask the opinion of Pendekar Puguh first ?" reply Ki Prana Soul with a question.
"Ki Prana Soul is about to ask for an opinion on what ?" ask Puguh.
"Pendekar Puguh, I already know, if you ever fought against Prabu Girindra Nata, the king of the Kingdom of Kisma Pura and defeated him. What do you think about Prabu Girindra Nata and about the government of Kisma Pura Kingdom ?" ask Ki Prana Soul.
"If it is about the affairs of the government of Kisma Pura Kingdom, I do not really understand, but during the government of Kisma Pura Kingdom it pays attention and meets the needs of its people, I think it is fine. As for.Prabu Girindra Nata, he is just a person who is obsessed with silat. As long as it does not interfere with its duty to serve the people and does not act cruel to its people, it is common for a person who loves silat !" reply Puguh.
Hearing that answer, Ki Prana Soul smiled widely, as if relieved by Puguh's answer.
"Thank you Pendekar Puguh. Thank you also for helping and liberating the Kingdom of Kaling Pura which was previously occupied by the Sky Tower Kingdom war forces. I've heard it from our members who helped fight there. The warriors dressed as beggars were our members, the urban Kuwanda Brastha Padepokan. While many members of the Kuwanda Brastha Padepokan from the coastal areas died in the battle against the Sky Tower Kingdom war troops, while a small part was caught and thrown into prison !" said Ki Prana Soul while standing up and both hands were jutting.
"Pendekar Puguh, I am actually the Crown Prince of Kisma Pura Kingdom. My real name is Prince Indra Prana. Only people I trust, know about this !" connect Ki Prana Soul or Prince Indra Prana while his right hand opens a thin mask that covers his face. It turned out to be the face of Ki Prana Soul or Prince Indra Prana, handsome and dashing.
Then, while wearing his mask again, Prince Indra Prana began to tell stories.
Once you get a report there is a war troops from the Kingdom of the Sky Tower who entered the Kingdom of Kisma Pura and headed to the city of Kisma Pura Kingdom, Prabu Girindra Nata immediately prepared his entire army and brought all his troops to the border of Kotaraja.
At the border of Kotaraja, suddenly approached about a hundred soldiers selected by the Sky Tower Kingdom war forces led by one of the Sky Tower Kingdom Warlords.
The Warlord challenges Prabu Girindra Nata to a duel with the Western Sky Prince.
