Arya's blank stare out the bedroom window, a flash of shadow passing faintly in the darkness of the night made Arya surprised.

"Hey, who are you.......!"

Arya immediately went out through his bedroom window chasing a flash of shadow that had just passed in front of his window, with his body lightening skills Arya managed to catch up and even get ahead by blocking the figure from the front.

"Stop...! Who are you who seemed to be deliberately peeking in my room earlier?" Arya shouted.

The figure that had flashed and turned out to be wearing a mask covering his face did not answer, until Arya became annoyed and then directed his grip at the masked figure's face.

Realizing that Arya was going to reach for and open the mask he was wearing, the masked figure took a step back then turned his body around and ran back quickly. Arya of course was made even more annoyed, he chased again and if the masked figure had not run into an area where there were dozens of palace soldiers, Arya might have been able to cut off his running steps again.

Arya did not want the soldiers to be suspicious and make the atmosphere in the palace yard noisy which would certainly invite the attention of Dewi Purbara later, he quickly stopped running and let the masked figure escape from his pursuit.

"Don't be happy yet that you can escape from me, this is all because I don't want to invite a commotion in the palace that will invite the presence of Dewi," Arya muttered to himself.

Arya turned his body and stepped back to the window door and then entered his room, if he had come to the room earlier he would have immediately lay down but at that time he was just standing in front of the window while staring blankly ahead.

"Who exactly is that masked bastard who seems to be deliberately peeping at me in this room? Is he a man or a woman? Because the expression on his face is difficult for me to recognize, but seeing the shape of his body is exactly the same as Gento Ireng's body? Could it be him? Then what is his purpose in peeping at me in this room?"

Arya seemed to be scratching his head while guessing who the figure wearing the mask really was.

"Is it possible that he is really Gento Ireng? Then if it's true what is his purpose in peeping at me? Does this have anything to do with his report to Dewi? Ah, damn..! Why did he have to run towards the soldiers? It's strange why none of the soldiers reacted," Arya muttered again to himself.

Arya felt something was wrong and he was sure the soldiers knew about the masked figure, Arya also suspected that the masked figure was one of the palace residents and followers of Dewi Purbalara.

"Ah, I must not be careless and must be careful. Apparently he deliberately lured me, so that I would be caught by the soldiers. Hmmm, it's not that easy. I won't fall for your cunning tricks," Arya said to himself.

Meanwhile, in a different room, a masked figure had just entered, he immediately took off the mask that covered his entire face while grumbling.

"Damn..! Almost got caught, my guess was right, it turns out Arya is not just anyone. His body lightening skills are very high, in an instant he managed to get ahead."

 

As Arya suspected, the masked figure was none other than Gento Ireng. He had deliberately crept beside the bedroom window to find out what evidence he could use later to report back to Dewi Purbalara about his suspicions that Arya was indeed dangerous and had tried to influence the soldiers and palace guards to rebel.

The day that Arya had planned to free the villagers who were now followers of Dewi Purbalara came, that morning he returned to meet and even invited the soldiers and guards to gather in a fairly large room in the white crocodile palace.

Arya again explained his purpose in coming to the palace to free them from the evil influence of the White Crocodile Demon Queen who had made them submissive and obedient, but unfortunately instead of being influenced they were angry at Arya and tried to catch him to be brought before Dewi Purbalara.

Seeing this unpleasant thing Arya immediately left the room towards the yard, of course with Arya running away from the room the soldiers and guards chased him with a noisy shout that there was an intruder.

Initially the screams of the guards and palace soldiers were only heard by Gento Ireng who immediately joined them, but after that Dewi Purbalara found out thanks to Gento Ireng who also rushed to report the commotion in the palace yard.

"Come on, let's catch the intruder..!" shouted one of the palace guards.

The soldiers simultaneously surrounded Arya who was standing casually in the yard, from the warrior's face there was no trace of anxiety let alone his courage shrinking being surrounded in such a way by dozens of soldiers and also palace guards.

"Stop...!"

The guards and soldiers who had surrounded and were about to capture Arya suddenly stopped their steps, simultaneously they also turned towards the voice that asked them to stop.

Everyone in the palace yard bowed respectfully except Arya, apparently the one who shouted earlier was Dewi Purbalara.

"Is what they accused you of true Arya..?!"

If a few days ago Dewi Purbalara asked with a soft voice and facial expression, but this time her voice sounded loud and so did her facial expression which seemed angry.

Arya just scratched his head pretending not to hear the question thrown by the White Crocodile Demon Queen.

Of course Dewi Purbalara was even more furious seeing Arya's attitude which she considered did not respect her at all.

"Insolent...! It turns out that what Gento Ireng said to me a few days ago was true, you are indeed a traitor and have evil plans against me and this palace.”

This time Arya not only scratched his head again but also grinned.

“He.. He.. He..! Since when did I become your follower like the others that you accuse me of being a traitor?”

Dewi Purbalara’s face became even redder not because she was blushing but because of her anger that was increasingly peaking to the top of her head.

“You’re so rude Arya..! Quickly arrest him...!”
