Night Eagle Swordsman

Living in the Princely Palace

After meeting Ki Pande, on his way to the center of Kotaraja, Ki Dwijo still met some old friends. In addition to asking for help when the time is needed, also to hear news about the Langking Jaladara Association.

Simultaneously, in contrast to that done by Ki Dwijo, Puguh and Rengganis, from the Duchy of Randu Beteng, directly towards the direction of kotaraja.

However, arriving at the outskirts of Kotaraja, Puguh and Rengganis do not go directly into the city, but they go to a place that is usually a place to gather and meet the warriors. And the most appropriate place to go is a food stall or entertainment place.

For two days, Puguh and Rengganis spent time searching and listening to as much information as they could get.

There is one information that is quite interesting to their attention, based on the story of the story circulating in the food stall, which is several months, many warriors and martial world figures from various regions came to Kotaraja.

Until one afternoon, when the two of them were in a food stall that had not many visitors, across the street, Puguh saw an old body. As Puguh looked at him, the old figure quickly shot towards the outskirts of Kotataja, after previously, his hand gave a mark to Puguh.

Puguh immediately invited Rengganis to come out of the food stall and darted in the direction taken by the old figure.

Some time they both ran, until they arrived under a fairly large tree. It was seen that the old figure had been waiting under the tree.

"Teacher, is there anything the teacher wants to tell us ?" puguh said after arriving near the old figure who turned out to be Ki Dwijo.

"My student, there are things that might benefit and make it easier for us, which the teacher will tell you," replied Ki Dwijo.

Then Ki Dwijo told about the habits of Prince Pandu. They can take advantage by approaching Prince Pandu, to allow them to easily enter or approach around the palace.

On that occasion, Ki Dwijo invites to try to follow wherever Prince Pandu and look for opportunities to approach and get acquainted.

After a few days the three of them waited, finally the opportunity came, when Prince Pandu threatened his life because he was gangred by two dagger-armed people who were not yet known who they were.

Inside Prince Pandu's Prince's Prince's Princely Palace, on the afternoon leading up to that night, several soldiers were busy preparing equipment and materials to treat Prince Pandu's wounds.

After all the equipment was ready, Puguh immediately treated the dagger slash wound that formed a transverse line on the right chest and the puncture wound on the left abdomen of Prince Pandu.

Not until last night, Puguh finished covering all the wounds on the body of Prince Pandu. With drugs hasul concoction Ki Dwijo which is also minimized, making the condition of the body of Prince Pandu improved and can sleep soundly.

The next morning, Prince Pandu already looks good and just stay to recover his strength. Because, with the help of the flow of energy in Puguh, the wound made Prince Pandu quickly dry up and almost recovered.

Although still weak because his external energy has not recovered and his injuries have not really dried up, Prince Pandu still held a meeting to get a report from the leader of his guard soldiers.

In the meeting room, in addition to Prince Pandu and two leaders of his soldiers, asked to participate in the meeting, Ki Dwijo, Puguh and Rengganis.

In the meeting, the leader of the soldiers said that the end of this often happens suspicious things.

In the past few days, there were royal soldiers who seemed to be watching over the Prince of Prince Pandu's Prince's palace. Surprisingly, the royal soldier when approached, immediately disappeared and seemed to have high silat science. There was even an attempt to enter the Prince Pandu's Prince's Prince's Prince's Prince's Palace, but was caught by one of the warrior leaders and fled. And according to the guard soldiers' report, there were two people who attacked Pangeran Pandu for no reason, as well, the character traits of the assailant were similar to the person who had been watching the Prince's Palace for the past few days.

Hearing the words of the two warrior leaders, Prince Pandu looked towards the front door, but his eyes looked distant.

"Does this have anything to do with the incident a month ago when there was a meeting with the King's father in the Royal Palace ?" prince Pandu said.

As he said that, Prince Panji's gaze towards Prince Pandu looked cynical.

A moment later, Prince Pandu remembered and his mind returned to the meeting he had.

"Ki Dwijo, without prejudice to my respect for all of you as martial world figures, given the events that occurred yesterday, which are very likely to repeat and will threaten my life, are you willing to be my personal bodyguards ?" asked Prince Pandu with a face that was very hopeful of Ki Dwijo, Puguh and Rengganis's willingness.

"Prince Pandu, it is not that we reject the honor that you have given us. Namu Prince Pandu can understand for himself, we people from the martial world, are people who do not want to be bound by everything that limits our movements. As personal bodyguards, we can't, because it's hard for us. However, if the security concerns of Prince Pandu, allow us to stay in this Princely Palace, so that if anyone wants to do evil to Prince Pandu, we can help keep an eye on him," replied Ki Dwijo.

Hearing Ki Dwijo's reply, Prince Pandu smiled with relief and allowed Ki Dwijo, Puguh and Rengganis to stay inside the Princely Palace.

But Ki Dwijo gave one more condition, that is, the three of them are free to go in and out of the Princely Palace, because they also sometimes have interests in the martial world, so they have to leave the Princely Palace.

On that condition, Prince Pandu agreed. Even promised to give the royal badge to the three of them that could make the three of them enter the library building, weapons building and art and literature building without having to ask for permission from the guard officers of each building.

Finally, from then on, Ki Dwijo and Puguh and Rengganis lived inside the Princely Palace.

In addition to maintaining the security and safety of Prince Pandu, the three of them were silent and tried to investigate the suspicious things that happened around them and also tried to learn the developments that occurred in the Royal Palace.

At midnight after a few days Puguh stayed at Pangeran Pandu Palace. On that night, Puguh was on guard despite not joining the guard soldiers.

Puguh jumped between the roof of the roof tile and tried to keep an eye on his surroundings by going around in the dark.

While passing over the row of rooms, Puguh saw something suspicious. Puguh immediately used a cloth covering his face and then moved closer to him. In Puguh's very sharp vision, two body figures were seen trying to hide behind the dark walls of the building.

They both speak hand sign language. It looks like they are making a choice, to move in which direction.

Then, lightly and without making a sound, the two of them jumped on the tiling that happened to be in the direction right in front of Puguh, so they turned their backs to Puguh.

With no sound and no sound, they moved. Sometimes they are a little tile to observe the room below them.

So lightly did the two of them move, that the soldiers on guard were unaware of the movements of the two of them.

Just above Prince Pandu's bedroom, they gave each other a code by nodding and then about to come down and sneak down.

However, just as the two of them were about to jump, they were startled by the sound of a soft voice.

"You two dare to go down, meaning you won't be able to get out of here !" puguh said slowly.

The two body figures immediately turned their gazes towards the direction the sound came from.

Then, with a very fast movement and without saying a word again, their bodies shot towards Puguh with dagger weapons that arrived were already in their right hands.
