The Dragon God Swordsman
2. Bad news
The look on Aryo's face that was calm began to appear to show a very clear sense of worry. Hearing the explanation from the man made his mood go bad. Not to mention the last thing that made him frown because the man looks difficult to explain the last thing.
“Why uncle? Why quit? Is there anything more serious than the news you've been saying?” aryo asked because he was very curious.
“Sorry young master, actually.” the man again explained the news he wanted to convey. After explaining everything the middle-aged man accidentally saw the look on his young master's face become extremely angry and gave off a powerful murderous aura. The man looked down again for fear that Aryo's anger would be vented on him.
Aryo was furious at hearing the last news he had heard. This is because the planned coup for 2 years leaked and Adipura royal forces prepare to eradicate his troops.
Adipura Kingdom is a kingdom that is still very young and has only been established for about 100 years. This kingdom was led by the king of Jaka who was none other than the half-brother of his father's second wife who was the most respected king in Adipura kingdom named king of Aryi.
King Aryi is known to be very friendly, authoritative, skilled, assertive, and uphold the values of justice. Until the disaster appeared, because of his old age and already suffering from a disease that often relapsed finally the king of Aryi decided to choose one of his children to be his successor.
Many nobles and royal officials supported Aryo to be appointed as the king's successor. But not a few also have the opinion that the king of Jaka is also worthy to ascend the throne.
Despite the opinion of many people, the king of Aryi has made his choice so that Prince Aryo will be his successor. This was because the Aryi king believed that Prince Aryo would bring a very big change to the kingdom of Adipura. And did not wait long held the ceremony of the appointment of prince Aryo as the new king of the kingdom of Adipura.
As the new king, king Aryo still uphold the values that have been applied by his father. All the people rejoiced at this but prince Jaka was very hurt because he was not elected as the new king. Therefore, Prince Jaka and his family came out of the kingdom and chose to leave the Adipura kingdom.
King Aryo greatly regretted the decision of his half-brother, because he had considered Prince Jaka like a sibling. When they were both princes, the two often spent time together, taking care of each other and practicing martial arts to the same teacher. But after Aryo rose to become king, prince Jaka began to close himself and began to stretch the distance between the two and ended up choosing out of the kingdom.
King Aryo is devastated by the loss of his brother. But the sadness was finally gone when he found a woman who was able to make him calm. The figure of the woman was none other than Sinta and was a disciple of her martial master. She only realized Sinta's feelings after 10 years of studying martial arts with her teacher.
There is a wedding that lasts 7 full days to enliven their marriage. Many people who came to congratulate the newlyweds, nobles, officials, Patih, even the people were invited into the kingdom to enliven the event.
Everyone had fun because it was the biggest wedding party they had ever been to, until something unwanted happened that made it all turn around 180⁰. On the last night very many visitors who came exceeded the expectations of the event manager.
Not many know that on that day the prince Jaka came to the wedding intending to meet his brother to congratulate him. But the intention is not just that, there is an intention that is more important than that.
“ampun my king, we have an unexpected important guest. Prince Jaka came but not with his family. But bring 2 people with each older men and women” reported a Patih who is believed to keep the event going.
“Brother Jaka back?” asked King Aryo with surprise.
“Ah... Not the time to be surprised, quickly bring him here Patih” said the king.
The Patih left immediately and soon returned with prince Jaka and 2 people with him. Prince Jaka then approached the two brides and immediately embraced his brother and congratulated the king of Aryo.
“thank you brother, your arrival is very much I'm waiting for. Where the hell have you been? I'm so sad that you left without telling me. And where is the other family? Why are you the only one coming?” ask King Aryo non-stop.
“Ahhh. I also have to take the item that should be my right, replied Prince Jaka with a cynical smile.
