Not yet Arya Pethak replied, Paramita immediately said the words of Adipati Gajah Stage.
"Please forgive Gusti Adipati..
Pethak's brother has not fully recovered. It still takes 1 or 2 days for his condition to recover as usual.
Please Gusti Adipati a little patient waiting to talk with Kakang Pethak", said Paramita while bowing his body as a sign of respect to the Duke of Gajah Panggung.
Mmmmmm..
"True your words, Doctor Paramita..
2 More days I will visit this young swordsman to have a four-eye talk with him. And it's better if he's really healthy..
If you need medicinal ingredients, you just ask my two palace healers..
Well young swordsman,
Please restore your health. Excuse me first", said Adipati Gajah Panggung who immediately turned his body, returning to his private palace behind the grand paseban hall of the Duchy of Anjuk Ladang.
Paramita, Sekarwangi and Anjani immediately saluted the Duke of Gajah Panggung when the ruler of Anjuk Ladang Duchy stepped away.
The news of Arya Pethak's consciousness also reached Bekel Regol's ears. The middle officer felt guilty for pushing Arya Pethak into the arena of the competition that almost took his life. Although Arya Pethak managed to kill Begawan Pasopati and Tumenggung Jaran Sembrani, but the internal injuries she suffered were very dangerous for her life.
That afternoon, accompanied by Bekel Simo Bogang, Bekel Regol stepped into the guest hall of honor of the Duchy of Anjuk Padang.
"Greetings to my honor, Swordsman of Satan..
How are you doing? I heard that you were awake after fainting for a few days" asked Bekel Regol, who was sitting on a wooden chair beside Arya Pethak's bed.
"I'm better than I was this morning, Gusti Bekel..
Thank you so much for worrying about my condition" Arya Pethak replied immediately. Although his lips still paled, but overall the condition of Arya Pethak's body is fine. You only need to recover your health for a few days.
"I really feel guilty to you Swordsman of Satan.
If I hadn't pushed you yesterday, maybe you wouldn't have had to suffer internal injuries like this. I'm really sorry", Bekel Regol said, bowing her head in a sign that she was sincerely sorry to Arya Pethak.
"It's Gusti Bekel.
What matters is that I am alive. That's enough for me now. Our friendship is the most important thing right now. I don't blame you for everything that happened", Arya Pethak smiled faintly.
"You are truly the great heart of the Swordsman of Satan. I admire you" Bekel Regol said, bowing her body.
They continued to talk warmly until the afternoon came.
Two days later, Arya Pethak's health had recovered. Although not completely healthy but the handsome young man was able to move as usual.
As agreed, the Elephant Duke of the Stage returned to visit Arya Pethak at the guest hall of honor that day. Join her Dewi Retno Wulan who always visit Arya Pethak every day by bringing food and fresh fruits. Anjani, Sekarwangi and Paramita always bent his face when the youngest daughter of the Elephant Duke of the Stage came to visit Arya Pethak.
Today Arya Pethak was chatting with Klungsur and Anjani in the porch of the guest hall of honor when the Duke of Elephant Stage came.
"Well, what a great body. In just two days you have looked healthy young Swordsman", praised Adipati Gajah Panggung with a big smile.
"This is all because of the kindness of Gusti Adipati who has given a lot of medical assistance to servants.
Arya Pethak is very grateful", replied Arya Pethak while respecting the Duke of Gajah Stage.
"Compared to what you've done, that's not what young warriors are.
You have removed the thorn in the flesh for the safety and law in the Duchy of Anjuk Field. The death of Begawan Pasopati and Tumenggung Jaran Sembrani is something that is really needed by Anjuk Laddang Palace.
Because you have sacrificed all your abilities then I want to give a gift as a thank you, Arya Pethak", said the Elephant Duke of the Stage with a big smile.
"Gift?
What does Gusti Adipati mean? Please explain. Arya Pethak did not understand", Arya Pethak did not understand the meaning of the words of the Duke of Elephant Stage. The handsome young man directly scratched his head that was not itchy.
"You are the winner of the competition I have. It is appropriate for the office of Senopati Anjuk Farm I leave it to you" said the Duke of Gajah Panggung with a smile.
"And again, I see you're old enough to be married. I want to match you with my youngest daughter, Dewi Retno Wulan with you", Adipati Gajah Panggung added immediately.
The look on the face of Goddess Retno Wulan immediately flushed to hear the words of the Duke of Anjuk Farm. He's been fond of Arya Pethak since he first saw her at the fairground the other day. Klungsur and Anjani immediately looked at each other to hear the words of the Duke of Elephant Stage. A million questions flashed through their heads.
Hearing the words of the Elephant Duke of the Stage, Arya Pethak gasped. He was completely shocked and did not know what to say for a moment. After a long sigh, Arya Pethak ventured to speak.
"Please forgive Gusti Adipati, not a servant to reject the decree of Gusti Adipati.
However the servant still has a purpose to search for the second murderer of the servant parents. At once find out who the identity of the servant.
If Gusti Adipati does not mind, I beg you to take 2 years to find the killer of both servant parents before fulfilling Gusti Adipati's request.
If indeed Gusti Adipati objected to the conditions of the servant, please forgive me as much as I can not fulfill what Gusti Adipati wishes" said Arya Pethak while worshipping Duke Gajah Panggung.
Hearing Arya Pethak's answer, the Duke of Gajah Panggung immediately turned to Dewi Retno Wulan who was sitting next to him. Although a little disappointed with Arya Pethak's attitude, Dewi Retno Wulan nodded slowly at the sign of agreeing to Arya Pethak's terms.
"Hehehe...
Young man you're really firm. I like your honest and open attitude. All right, I'll give you two years to finish what you want. After that, you should return to the palace of Anjuk Padang to marry my daughter", the Elephant Duke of the Stage smiled knotfully.
"Thank you for understanding Gusti Adipati.
Servants are really grateful" said Arya Pethak with a faint smile.
"Oh yes, as my future daughter-in-law tomorrow you must come with me to attend an invitation from one of the merchants who are partners of Anjuk Padang Duchy.
I don't want any rejection for this" the Elephant Duke told the Stage immediately.
"Arya Pethak willing Gusti Adipati", replied Arya Pethak while respecting.
They continued to talk about many things including the recruitment of new officers Anjuk Laddang after the death of Tumenggung Kebo Biru, Tumenggung Jaran Sembrani and Senopati Gagak Rimang.

A burly man was seen following the steps of two young old women who were walking towards the boundary of the Duchy of Anjuk Padang from a distance.
'Fuck, those two women aren't random people. I almost lost track of them, ' the burly man said as he followed the steps of two young old men who were walking near the boundary of the city. Although it seems slow but because they are high-scientific still their footsteps are like not treading the ground.
The two young old ladies seemed to be deliberately playing with the stalker.
"Teacher,
The man continued to follow us after coming out of the crossing pier. Should we just beat him up?", the young lady turned to look at a middle-aged woman in front of her.
"Let it be Larasati..
As long as it does not interfere with our journey, why tired of fighting. Let's get to Boja Sunkil's house before the afternoon. See the sun has begun to slip to the west ", the old woman pointed towards the shadow of their bodies that have deviated to the east a sign that it is past noon.
The two young old ladies immediately quickened their footsteps by exerting all their strength within them. As a result they quickly shot towards the edge of the city of Anjuk Padang to the east.
"Dammit!!
I lost track of them. I'll look for them until I see you", muttered the stalker as he continued to follow the path in front of him.
The middle-aged woman stopped her footsteps in a large house on the eastern edge of the city. From the house it is seen that the owner is a person who is quite in the region.
In the courtyard of the house, dozens of people were decorating the house. It looks like there will be a big celebration in the house looking from penjor and janur yellow in various forms as a decoration of the crowd event. In the middle of the courtyard there is a stage show made using bamboo stems arranged in such a way.
Some people were seen arranging gamelan backstage, also there seemed to decorate the stage of the show with yellow janur.
Boja Sunkil is a former Padepokan Padas Putih student who returned to the community after finishing his studies under the tutelage of Nyi Sawitri aka Dewi Bukit Lanjar. He opened a trading business that was quite successful in raising his standard of living. Now he is one of the richest manger palawija in the eastern city of Anjuk Ladang.
The two young old women were Nyi Sawitri aka Dewi Bukit Lanjar and her student Rara Larasati. They came to the place at the invitation of Boja Sampil who wanted her teacher to help maintain the security of the event that was soon held.
The arrival of Nyi Sawitri and Rara Larasati was immediately welcomed by Boja Sampil who accidentally saw the arrival of the teacher and his younger brother.
"Welcome to my residence Guru, Boja Sampil salute", said Boja Sunk while respecting Nyi Sawitri.
"Hehehehe, you're getting fatter just like a piggy..
Prosperous like your life", answered Nyi Sawitri with a small chuckle to see his students who are now getting fatter, much different from when in Padepokan Padas Putih.
"I rarely practice Master, every day just busy taking care of my merchandise to the Duchy palace.
Security has also been taken care of by my people. Every time there's a sting or a robbery, enough of them acting. That's why my body stretched like this" said Boja Skil who complained about her life.
After chatting for a while, Boja Sampil took the teacher and her younger siblings inside to be introduced to her newly married daughter this morning. Indeed Boja Shampil held a wedding celebration of his eldest daughter who was married to the son of Samgat or a kind of judge in the Duchy of Anjuk Ladang. Tonight is an entertainment event that invites a group of tayub dancers from the famous Ngrowo Duchy throughout Singhasari country, Karawitan Langen Sari.
Towards dusk the beautiful tayub dancers began to dress up, one by one the audience began to throng the courtyard of the spacious Boja Sampil house.
In front of the courtyard, a group of Anjuk Field troops stopped in front of the residence of Boja Sakil. The luxury horse carriage door decorated with the grand flag of the Duchy of Anjuk Field in the guard of dozens of soldiers opened. From inside her stepped down the Elephant Duke Stage and Arya Pethak.
"So this is what Gusti Adipati meant to invite servants to attend the wedding invitation? To see the dance troupe?", asked Arya Pethak half-whispering at the Elephant Duke Stage.
"Curlsttttttttttt...
This is the entertainment of men. That's why I don't let women come here. You have been silent, follow me", replied the Elephant Duke of the Stage with a meaningful smile.
Arya Pethak only saw the behavior of the ruler of the Duchy of Anjuk Field.
Their arrival was immediately greeted with great respect by Boja Skil. The richest man in the eastern city of the Duchy of Anjuk Padang immediately took them inside before heading to the seat of honor.
Rara Larasati immediately widened her eyes when she saw Arya Pethak who was sitting beside the Elephant Duke Stage in the guest chair of honor. He was about to greet Arya Pethak but the arrival of tayub dancers from the Duchy of Ngrowo immediately made a scene for the audience who crowded the courtyard of Boja Skil until the urging of the audience occurred.
The trouble of Rara Larasati came out from the crowd of spectators who crowded the courtyard. Rara Larasati dizzy looking for the whereabouts of her teacher. When he saw the old woman next to the gamelan, Rara Larasati immediately approached her.
"Teacher,
I saw Kakang Pethak", said Rara Larasati as soon as I arrived near Nyi Sawitri.
The sound of the noisy gamelan horn makes the sound of Rara Larasati can not be heard by Nyi Sawitri clearly.
"What did you say? The voice is not clear", replied Nyi Sawitri aka Dewi Bukit Lanjar quickly.
Feeling impossible to repeat the talk, Rara Larasati pulled the hand of Dewi Bukit Lanjar away from the stage gamelan harvesters. Seeing Dewi Bukit Lanjar away, the rower turned to look at a friend who was closest to the seat of honor.
Silently they drew out a short sword hidden neatly under the gamelan order. One sign from the gong anchor, 4 other gamelan anchors immediately shot towards the Duke of Gajah Stage who was busy enjoying the rhythm of gamelan that hit the streets.
"Could you, duke of shit!", shouted the front man as he swung his sword.
Arya Pethak who was alert, immediately kicked the seat of the Duke of Elephant Stage until the teak chair was pushed back as far as 2 spears.
Arya Pethak quickly kicked a small table containing a variety of market snacks that were served to guests of honor.
Bhhuuuuggh...
The small table immediately floated rapidly towards the attackers. Those who were unprepared immediately hit the small table until it fell to the ground. They soon rose up and immediately besieged the Duke of Elephant Stage and Arya Pethak.
The atmosphere of the crowd instantly turned into chaos. Bekel Simo Bogang who is in charge of escorting the Adipati Gajah Panggung in a fast motion immediately make a security row.
The tayub dance audience immediately scattered to save themselves. Until leaving the group of tayub dancers from the Duchy of Ngrowo who apparently intend to kill the Duke of Gajah Stage. They all held weapons and surrounded the soldiers of the Duchy of Anjuk Field who protected the leader.
The new Boja Skil from behind pointed directly at Karawitan leader Langen Sari, Kartoyudho who wielded a short sword.
"Kartoyudho, sir,
What does all this mean?"
