"Forgive me, My Princess," said Aryan without daring to lift his face. "Your Majesty," he bowed to Guntur Aji. "I, I learned silat just from what I saw—ermm, I imitated the movements that Prince Andhika learned with Master Garga. But I can swear that I have no ill intentions in any of this."
"What about the magic?" asked Guntur Aji. "Haven't you been forbidden to learn these two things?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty," said Aryan, who still felt pain in his left rib. "I learned that magic and the supernatural things from the old books in the old underground library."
"You all heard for yourselves, didn't you?" Andhika said. "He deliberately stole learning silat and magic which was forbidden for a slave. This is all because you spoiled him too much!" point Andhika to Andira.
