Then Princess Mahatariti stood up and looked at Puguh.
"They will be set free, but in exchange, you must be willing to fulfill our invitation !" said Putri Mahatariti while pointing at Jalu and his three brothers.
For a while Puguh looked towards Jalu and his fellow students. Then it nodded and shifted slightly closer towards Rengganis standing up.
"Hope you release them. I will attend your invitation, only if my friend is allowed to come along" replied Puguh.
"But the leg, ... ?" sahut Rengganis holding Puguh's arm.
"Rengganis' sister has nothing to worry about" Puguh replied, "Nothing will happen to us."
"Alright," at last Princess Mahatariti accepted the condition of Puguh, "There will be our people who will tell you, what day and place you are invited to come."
Then Princess Mahatariti left the forging followed by the six middle-aged men.
After the riding party Princess Mahatariti left, Puguh and Rengganis immediately approached Jalu and his three brothers. Puguh and Rengganis saw, Jalu and his three fellow students were very young and only two and three years older than Puguh and Rengganis.
Seeing the four of them getting injured, Puguh immediately gave them some pills and potions to speed up the wound healing.
"Thank you for the help of the two children, so that we can still escape and not be taken by them," said Jalu representing his brothers and sisters.
After they met, they finally talked. At that conversation, they can become familiar quickly.
Initially Jalu warned Puguh not to attend their invitation, as it would only be used by their group.
On that occasion, Puguh asked a lot of things to Jalu, who turned out to have a lot of information about the martial world, especially in the Duchy of Randu Beteng and its surroundings.
To Puguh, Jalu told, If the horseman was a core member of the Jaladara Langking Association.
Princess Mahatariti who led the group was the second child of the leader of the Jaladara Langking Association.
As the daughter of the head of the Society, Princess Mahatariti has a very high devotion. In the fight earlier, he had yet to show any real power.
Currently, Putri Mahatariti is also assigned by her parents to control the Duchy of Randu Beteng and its surroundings. So that he has great authority in the region.
Besides, Jalu told me about who he was. He and his three brothers were disciples of a sage who was imprisoned in a forest on the outskirts of the Duchy of Randu Beteng, named Resi Ariwata.
However, Ariwata Resi has now been arrested by Princess Mahatariti, when she came to meet the invitation, because she did not want to help the Langking Jaladara Association.
Later, Jalu and his three fellow students were also pursued by the Langking Jaladara Society, because they always refused the invitation given to them.
Jalu and his three brothers were targeted by the Langking Jaladara Association, because they mastered the science of the Silk Net which if played by four people, the warrior class Princess Mahatariti, if not wary will be defeated.
When Resi Ariwata was about to be arrested, Jalu and his three brothers fought back. But his teacher chose to give up by not fighting for the sake of his four students can be separated from the Langking Jaladara Association.
After Jalu stopped telling stories, for a moment the atmosphere was silent and silent.
"What if we go to their invitation ?" ask Puguh to break the silence.
"We will attend their invitation, as well as to know the strength of the Langking Jaladara Association which is here" Puguh said.
They talked until they felt the time was already at night. Finally Puguh and Rengganis spent the night resting at the inn in a row of food stalls along the road.

Usually, every swordsman who gets an invitation from the Langking Jaladara Association, will receive an invitation submitted by one of the confidants of Princess Mahatariti in a considerable distance from since the swordsman was found by Princess Mahatariti. And usually, the swordsman who received the invitation was not just a two-man. But until some people.
Believers of Princess Mahatariti will easily find the targeted swordsman, because after being met by Princess Mahatariti, there will be a swordsman from the Langking Jaladara Association who watches and spies on the swordsman's eyes.
But this time, it did not happen to Puguh. On the next morning after meeting with Princess Mahatariti, there was immediately a swordsman from the Langking Jaladara Association who met Puguh and delivered an invitation, that later tonight Puguh asked to come to a house not far from the Duchy of Randu Beteng.
Hearing this, Jalu and his three fellow students sensed that there was something strange in this invitation. So Jalu conveyed to Puguh, that when Puguh and Rengganis went to enter the city of Randu Beteng Duchy, the four of them also quietly would enter the city of Duchy. Maybe they can help, if anything happens with Puguh and Rengganis.
"But I ask, Jalu's brother is heartbroken, do not get caught by them again," said Puguh.
Then Jalu suggested, to leave this afternoon as well, so that before nightfall, Puguh and Rengganis could reach the city of Kadipaten Randu Beteng.
----- * -----
In the afternoon, Puguh and Rengganis immediately headed towards the city of Randu Beteng Duchy. They both use science to lighten their bodies, although not too quickly. Since they both sensed, there was someone following them.
Both of their journeys were very smooth. By evening, they had both entered the Duchy of Randu Beteng.
On a road leading to the Duchy of Randu Beteng, Puguh and Rengganis deliberately walked slowly so that people who followed them could catch up with them.
As the two of them walked normally, arriving before them appeared a middle-aged man wearing clothes similar to those used by the Langking Jaladara Society.
"The two of you have been waiting for the green house that is at the end of this road" said the middle-aged man.
As soon as Puguh noticed the direction he pointed out the middle-aged man immediately shot away.
Puguh and Rengganis immediately walked towards the house meant by the middle-aged man.
Arriving in the front yard of the green house, there was a swordsman who immediately approached Puguh and Rengganis.
"Please follow me," said the swordsman who then rushed straight into the house.
Without answering, Puguh and Rengganis followed the swordsman. Because the front page is quite broad, making the green house look small.
Once on the porch of the house, it only appears that the house is large with a terrace that is quite spacious.
Puguh and Rengganis were brought into the living room which turned out to be very large. As soon as he passed through the door to the middle room, Puguh saw, Princess Mahatariti was already standing from her seat at the very end of the row. Next to him were two middle-aged men and women in clean white clothes.
