ARYA MAHESA
Darmuraji Plan

"Chairman Bai, about Bahuraksa I think maybe we'll never find him again."

After discussing what they should do about Edward and Oldenbar's movements, Drey returned to the Oldenbar center. But he came back not alone. Rantoba's with him.

Darmuraji and Bai Fan remained there, continuing what they had discussed. Bai Fan himself still had a little trouble reading the situation in Basaka. However, Bai Hua's grandfather tried his hardest not to do something that would arouse suspicion.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Darmuraji. "No need to call me that. I'm just a temporary replacement. From the beginning I had no intention of mastering anything."

Bai Fan just nodded. Indeed the news of Darmuraji refusing to assume responsibility as Emperor of the Swarna Kingdom is quite surprising. Even Emperor Liu briefly discussed a little about it, before giving him a mission to this Mainland.

"Maybe you've heard of the Golden Lion Sect. They're the reason why we won't find the sword."

What Darmuraji said was of course a bit surprising. Because actually Bai Fan had already found Bahuraksa and of course there was no contribution of the Golden Lion Sect there.

"Yes. I've heard of it. But, what does the Sect have to do with Bahuraksa?"

Currently Bai Fan preferred to dig up information from Darmuraji. He deliberately delayed what he would say regarding the message that Darsapati and Kaungsaji wanted to convey to the man in front of him.

"Although it seems that they are the Sect that protects Basaka and the royal family in the Mainland, the Sect has kept many secrets from the kingdom."

"Mr Darmu, do you also think that they were involved with the assassination of King Aditya?" Bai Fan Fishing.

Hearing Bai Fan's question, Darmuraji sighed naked and let go. "Of course they're involved. And not only that, I think from the beginning the Golden Lion Sect was intent on taking over this Land... "

"I mean, you?"

"Yes, the Golden Lion Sect has already planned this all out carefully. They're... "

Darmuraji told Bai Fan how things were going in Basaka City. According to him, the Golden Lion Sect had its own agenda. Darsapati and Kaungsaji actually already know the existence of Bahuraksa.

According to Darmuraji's conclusion, the Golden Lion Sect was trying to eliminate the royal family in Basaka City. Because that way, Maharaja Swarna will automatically appoint them as the ruler of this Land. At least for a while.

This will make it easier for them to get the sympathy of the population before they will finally do an open rebellion and separate themselves from the Swarna Kingdom.

However, their efforts did not go smoothly. Although managed to eliminate almost all members of the kingdom, Darmuraji managed to survive.

When the attack occurred, Aditya and Darmuraji were in separate places. Luckily Rantoba was with Darmuraji. So, Rantoba managed to save Darmuraji but was unfortunate for King Aditya.

At that time the guard on Aditya and all members of the royal family managed to cripple the Golden Lion Sect. Even Darmuraji's wife and children also became victims.

The half of the Bahuraksa manuals they had belonged to the Golden Lion sect. However, Darsapati accidentally gives it to Darmuraji, to trick the kingdom.

Darmuraji and Aditya, who had deliberately enlisted the help of Emperor Liu to bring in the Bai family from the Yang empire, concentrated the search at the eastern end of Dartan. In fact, Bahuraksa was not there.

It was known since the discovery of the ruins that turned out to be very guarded by Darsapati and all his loyal followers and that is where Bahuraksa actually was.

Bai Fan was surprised by the version of the story from Darmuraji. Of course it does not fit with the reality. But, that Patriarch of the Bai family tried to look for more information in depth.

"Mr Darmuraji. What about Nurmageda? Is there any news from him?"

"Yes. How's him?"

Darmuraji's reaction really made Bai Fan curious. According to him, too much news reached the King while the Eastern Mainland is not like the real situation.

"I think he's from the Golden Lion Sect. That person never gave clear information regarding what was there."

Bai Fan's eyes widened. "Sorry Mr. Darmuraji. You seem to just admit that, you asked me and my granddaughter to work with someone who might hurt us. Didn't we?"

Darmuraji. "Ah. Is correct. I have to admit that. But, I'm really glad you survived. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell Emperor Liu." He answered with regret.

"Yes. If you're right, of course I'm shaving. However, why didn't you send some people to come to the city of Arsa and investigate it yourself?"

"That's because the circumstances here don't allow us to do that, Aditya's death greatly shook the entire kingdom. We're busy with research on that. We had to battle with the Golden Lion Sect several times. Until finally with Oldenbar's help we managed to corner and take over the Sect."

"It's hard for me to understand. If you guys have already made sure the Golden Lion Sect is the culprit. You should have burned down the sect and given the punishment to all its members. Because they have committed a grave crime by killing someone who is very important to this kingdom."

"We can't do that. Something's blocking us."

"What's that?" Bai Fan was getting harder and harder to understand.

"Princess Jasmine. They took Princess Aditya. That's why we can't be rash."

Bai Fan was silent for a moment. According to him, the story of Darmuraji too jump from one thing to another. However he thought this incident was too awkward to believe just like that.

"Mr Darmu. Don't you think someone planned this. I mean, you certainly know how the Oldenbar guild works, don't you?"

That was all that flashed through Bai Fan's head. Oldenbar is capable and willing to do anything for his purpose. Things like this are nothing new to them. It could be that right now, Darmuraji might be being controlled by Oldenbar.

"Chairman Bai. Why do you think I'd listen to Drey and help him?"

Bai Fan's eyes widened. "So, you really intend to attack Oldenbar?"

Darmuraji. "Regardless they are involved with Aditya's death or not, I think the union is too acting as it pleases. Now, at least we have a reason to drive them off this land."

Bai Fan did not know what to say. Against Oldenbar is not a good idea but it is also not a bad idea.

"Oldenbar, open a union that's easy to get rid of. If they are already on this land, then they are already in all the territory of this kingdom." Remember Bai Fan on Darmuraji.

Darmuraji smiled wryly. "Yes. They'll be troublesome. But, Elder Bai didn't need to come think about it."

"I mean, you?"

"Chairman Bai, I thank you for coming and trying to find Bahuraksa for us. But now the situation is different. I can't possibly let you get involved with all this."

Bai Fan nodded trying to understand what Darmuraji said.

"It seems Elder Bai already understood. I will give you a worthy gift. When your granddaughter is here, for the common good, you better return to the Yang Empire. I will also write our official apology letter to Emperor Liu for neglecting to look after you and your granddaughter, while here."
