The next day the Black Flag Company resumed their journey after resting at night and replenishing their strength.
There was a strange thing that made everyone curious about their leader. This happened because Arya's attitude changed flat again when dealing with Princess Amanda.
If last night Arya seemed to want to get closer to Princess Amanda, now instead the man avoids direct eye contact with the woman even always try to avoid.
Arjuna, Wira, Bagaskara, Indera, Dierja, and some high class Swordsmen are certainly also curious about the relationship between the man and woman. But they did not want to interfere and chose to watch the drama that was going on.
On the other hand Gardapati who already knows the reason why Arya's attitude changed to Princess Amanda can only shake her head and understand the decision of her master.
After Gardapati had a one-on-one chat with Arya, she had already received immediate confirmation that the man's memory had returned.
In this way it means the change in attitude shown by Arya to Princess Amanda suddenly where the man becomes indifferent, no other because Arya still feels bad about what she did in the past that killed Amanda.
Princess Amanda, riding on a black-haired wolf that is none other than Dharma, several times tried to approach Arya who was riding Gardapati.
"What's wrong with you, why do you always dodge when I approach?" Princess Amanda squinted trying to investigate what happened to Arya until she was cold to him.
Princess Amanda felt that she had never offended Arya. Even last night the man seemed very attentive to himself. I don't know what happened to the contents of the man's head until his attitude changed 180° this morning.
"I'm sorry I don't understand what you're talking about, and for last night I'm really sorry for being so drunk that I just kind of hugged you."
Arya did not glance at Princess Amanda who went hand in hand with her. He is currently very embarrassed to look directly at Princess Amanda after everything he did to the woman in the past.
Hearing Arya's words clearly Princess Amanda did not fully believe. She still clearly remembered not smelling the alcoholic scent from the man's body, and felt that there was something the man was trying to hide from her.
Princess Amanda clucked in annoyance and slowed her pace leaving Arya ahead with Gardapati, and decided not to talk to her until the man gave an explanation for her change in attitude.
Gardapati shook her head realizing Arya had made the decision to strain the relationship with Princess Amanda.
"Master... Better not do this. Isn't this the right time to strengthen your relationship with your mistress? Please don't make a decision that will make you regret it for life."
Through telepathy Gardapati tries to make Arya rethink her decision. He just didn't want their relationship to get complicated and end up the way it used to be.
"I have no other choice, Gardapati. Later when his memory returns he will surely hate me a lot. Staying away from him now is better so that the worst moment happens between us, I don't want to be his inhibitor in the future."
Arya lowered her head after explaining to Gardapati about the reason for starting to stretch the relationship with Princess Amanda.
Although already aware of his own feelings for Princess Amanda. Arya did not want to feel more pain because she realized the fight between herself and the woman would be inevitable.
The forest king did not want if his two masters were to fight each other. He just wanted the three of them to be the same as they used to share their joys and sorrows together.
Although Arya had already made the decision to stay away from Princess Amanda, Gardapati had other plans for their relationship to come back and explain to the woman what really happened.
Unable to stem their curiosity when they saw the two strongest people in Madya City start to drift apart from each other. The higher-ups then pointed to Arjuna to ask Arya.
In addition to being curious about the two people's relationship, they are also worried that Arya and Princess Amanda are starting to become hostile. Because the woman herself is an enemy of the Kingdom of Brawijaya, and feared all the information she had heard could be spread to the Kingdom of Angasari.
This does not rule out the possibility considering the reason Princess Amanda is still in the Kingdom of Brawijaya is because Arya, if their relationship is fractured then the woman can at any time betray.
Arjuna did not ask Princess Amanda given the woman's very creepy personality despite being wrapped in heavenly beauty.
Asking Arya was the right choice. In addition to the man's temperament was quite stable, Arjuna himself was quite close to Arya considering they often discussed together.
"Is everything okay?" Arjuna approached Arya by riding a horse which of course is not an ordinary horse but a blood horse.
Blood horses are different from horses in general. Blood horse food itself is raw meat and fresh blood considering they are Devil Animals.
For the dexterity of the blood horse alone there is no need to doubt. They can travel long distances without rest for one week by carrying loads up to 1 ton.
"Yes, everything is fine as you can see. Mr. Arjuna..." Arya gave a small smile towards Arjuna before turning her eyes again ahead.
Hearing Arya's words of course Arjuna did not believe. Even Princess Amanda who deliberately eavesdropped on the conversation they also did not believe the man's words.
The man's tone sounded different as if a tremor implied a fright. This made everyone except Gardapati think Arya was getting a threat when she came out that night.
Arjuna on the other hand is increasingly suspicious if there is something Arya is hiding to the point of having to keep a distance with Princess Amanda.
This is reinforced by Aryan gestures that show feelings of anxiety and eyesight implies a fear of something.
Arjuna's views then accidentally met with Gardapati. The lion seemed to give him a code through the blink of an eye not to ask questions to Arya.
Arjuna nodded in understanding and did not ask Arya again, but she still walked side by side with the man when she realized the emotions of the leader were now being unstable as usual.
Everyone was actually worried to see Arya's hair end become silvery as if the man was under a lot of pressure.
Cases like this themselves have happened a lot actually to people who experience excessive inner pressure. The difference is that other people's hair will whiten quickly, while Arya actually becomes silvery.
