In the morning, Arya's group continued their journey to Madya City. The atmosphere when traveling this time was not as awkward as yesterday.
Everyone started talking about various things. But Princess Amanda is still reluctant to talk to them, and prefers to pay attention. Princess Amanda was also not interested in the chatter of the men in the group.
Their journey back to meet obstacles. Some people dressed as a hit man show up and head off the horse carriage.
As a coachman, Fajar stopped the horse-drawn carriage when he saw a number of people suddenly emerging from the trees and brandishing weapons at him.
Dawn furrowed her brows. Dazed at what to do, Fajar then patted Arya sitting behind him. "Hey, let's look ahead for a second."
Hearing the words of Dawn instantly made everyone look ahead and find a group of people who were blocking their way.
"Ck! Who else are these people?" The hero clucked resentfully at the sight of a group of people stopping their horse carriage like bandits who wanted to loot.
Everyone in the horse-drawn carriage did not seem to want to serve those people, nor did Arya. But as the leader of the group, Arya was forced to get off the horse-drawn carriage to meet the leader of the people who stopped her journey.
"What do you need to do to stop our horse-drawn carriage?" Arya asked in a flat tone while paying attention to the people in front of her.
There were 10 people who intercepted the Aryan horse-drawn carriage. Each of them was holding a weapon and ready to fight at any time if given the order.
"Daughter Amanda's in your entourage, isn't she? If you want to continue the journey safely, hand Princess Amanda over to us."
A man from the group came forward and conveyed his needs to Arya. Where they all want Princess Amanda to come with them.
Hearing the words of the group representative, Arya gave a small smile and looked at the man as if to challenge him. "Give Princess Amanda to you? Who are you guys to threaten me?"
"Please! How dare a lowly human like you question my request!" Feeling humiliated by the attitude Arya showed him, the leader of the group wanted to draw his sword, but not so after hearing the voice of someone asking him to stop.
"Enough to get there!" Princess Amanda got off the horse carriage and approached the people who were looking for her, putting on a look of annoyance.
Finding the figure of Princess Amanda they were looking for, the group suddenly bent their knees and then saluted as if Princess Amanda was their superior.
Princess Amanda ignored the welcome from those people. He then asks Arya to return to the horse carriage, while she wants to talk to the group who are looking for her.
Arya initially refuses Princess Amanda's request. However, the safety of the woman is his responsibility. If Princess Amanda is left alone with a group of strangers, Arya fears something bad will happen.
But Princess Amanda assures Arya that there is nothing to worry about, as she knows the group. In the end Arya nodded and returned to the horse carriage.
After Arya left, the look on Princess Amanda's face that had looked gently attentive was suddenly lost. A cold expression mixed with annoyance was clearly visible on Princess Amanda's current face, after the leader of the group insulted Arya.
Arya, who has returned to the horse carriage, notices Princess Amanda's interaction with a mysterious group of people who confront them.
In just 10 minutes Princess Amanda managed to get the group to leave after a short conversation that was colored by a little light debate.
Princess Amanda then returned and entered the carriage. Just sitting down, Princess Amanda instantly got a gaze from all to her.
"Who were they. Don't you know her?" Arya asked curiously and did not treat Princess Amanda again formally.
After last night's conversation, Princess Amanda directly told Arya to treat her like an ordinary person and not be formal to her.
Arya could only obey. If until he makes Princess Amanda feel uncomfortable, the position he already has now will be immediately threatened.
"They are special forces from the Kingdom of Angasari who have been guarding and watching me. They came, wanted to take me home. But I refused and asked them to return to deliver my message to my parents."
Princess Amanda conveyed the intention of the group's arrival to Arya without covering it up. After all Arya was a person she could currently trust.
"Then why don't you want to go home? Didn't you miss your family all this time?" Arya was astonished by Princess Amanda's thought. If Princess Amanda had a lot of bodyguards, she should have long since been able to return to the Kingdom of Angasari.
Princess Amanda chuckles and then smiles at Arya. "Who said I wanted to go home. It's easy for me to come back, but I still want to stay. There's still something I got in this kingdom anyway."
After speaking his mind. Princess Amanda watched Arya while giving her eyes and a meaningful smile.
Arya who heard the answer from Princess Amanda was quite astonished. Suspicion was felt by Arya to the intention of Princess Amanda to remain in the Kingdom of Brawijaya, even though the woman could have gone home easily.
But Arya immediately dismissed her bad prejudices to Princess Amanda. His instincts said the woman would not do anything to the Kingdom of Brawijaya, and Arya certainly trusted his instincts.
Though believing that Princess Amanda will not do espionage. Arya is still wondering about the purpose of Princess Amanda who is still living in the Kingdom of Brawijaya.
Arjuna, Wira, and Bagaskara who saw Arya look confused by the meaning of the words of Princess Amanda began to feel a little furious.
As an adult who has been in a relationship until marriage. Arjuna, Wira, and Bagaskara can immediately catch the meaning of the words of Princess Amanda who is actually targeting Arya itself.
It felt like the three of them were hitting Arya for the young man to come to his senses. Want to see from anywhere, Princess Amanda is clearly experiencing spring to the young man.
But neither Arjuna, Wira, nor Bagaskara dared to tell Arya what Princess Amanda really meant. They were too worried if telling Arya the fate of the three would end up being ice sculptures.
The three men preferred to be quiet and observe the development of the relationship between the two lovebirds, which seemed to be very interesting to follow.
For Dawn itself he did not care much about what had just happened. Dawn just wanted to quickly get to the Madya City to do some physical training and add to his battle experience with the ferocious beasts in the Blood Forest.
