I sat crouching before him after putting the clothes back on my body, “what should I hide?” I whispered quietly beside the woman's ear.
“Do you want me to hide, if you insult the woman as an old woman in front of your beloved Majesty?” as I whispered, I tried to hold back my smile as the sound of stuffing from her grew louder.
“Your Majesty, will execute me if you do. I beg you,” he said in a disjointed voice that tapped my ear.
I slightly retreated with a smile looking at him, “I won't do it. Did you see that big animal?” my question was, I raised my hand rubbing under her puffy eyes.
“As long as he is here, no one will be able to execute you without my permission. However, I will not do it for free,” I said, both eyes widened looking at me as I smiled back at her gaze.
“I just want to, you tell me what happened here! Everyone, just tell me .. And I, will guarantee your safety. However, if you don't want to do so .. I'll tell Your Majesty, if you mock the woman in the pink dress that's behind her. What you mean is, the girl in the pink dress, right?” The sobbing woman in front of me, took a strong bite on her lips as I smiled back at her.
“How can I trust you?”
“Because I'm not interested in him, I'm married,” I said while pointing to the ear that had engraved my name and Zeki there, “my dashing husband waiting for my return. So, if you make my time delayed to see my husband back, you'll regret it. So, quickly tell me what you know!” threaten me as I stand up and sit next to my bow that rests on the chair.
“Your Majesty, is the youngest Prince .. It can be said, he is the younger brother of Princess Sasithorn. Since all the heirs to the throne had died while visiting the Empire, all that was left was -”
“I understand. Continue!” my orders came back when his words stopped.
“What Miss, believes in the forbidden relationship between Mother and Son?”
My eyes had grown when listening to what he said, “you want to deceive me? He has six escorts including you, doesn't he?”
He smiles with a slight bow, “outside appearances are often deceiving. We, only serve as a fence covering their disgrace from the outer Kingdom. He imprisoned us, by giving our virginity to the Knights he trusted. Who will accept the woman who has lost her honor, it is impossible for us who do not have noble status,” her tears fall again as she bites her lips again.
“I screamed, because no more women want to experience what we experienced.”
I take a deep breath, “get up! And give me my cloak back!" I said while raising my palm towards him.
He followed what I told him to do, “do you want to leave here? By living a better life, a life where you can be yourself,” I said I went along with wearing back my bag and cloak that he gave me.
“Is there such a place in this world?”
I bent over grabbing my bow and arrow tube while crossing it back on my shoulder, “of course, I guarantee that place.”
"Miss, if what Miss said is true. Then I'll say it once. Hope Miss listens to him carefully."
"What's that?" I asked back with a slight frown looking at him.
"The weakness of His Majesty."
Both of my legs stepped following him from behind, he further lowered his head as we got closer to them, who were still sitting looking to be discussing something. Haruki glanced at me when I was already back sitting to where I was, “how brother? Is your discussion still ongoing?” I said softly by throwing a look at Haruki.
Haruki threw his gaze towards the young man, or what they called His Highness, “I did not find anything I wanted here,” Haruki continued by returning his eyes to me.
“Why don't you guys stay a little longer here?” she said with her lips turned to look at the two of us in turn.
“What happened? Did something happen while I was away?”
“I said, if Izumi as someone who was once engaged to Princess Sasithorn. Want to establish cooperation among our Kingdom as a condolence for what happened with the previous King, the Queens and Princes with the Princess.”
“Really? If so, can you give one of your women to be my servant?”
“The one engaged to Princess Sasithorn was my sister, but I only met her once that time. I could not accept the covenant that I had not previously attended, for it .. Give me one of them, I need a maid to fulfill all my needs in the Palace, she said,” said I smiled back at his glare that pointed sharply at me.
“I wanted the woman who drove me earlier, she was acting unpleasant when I just wanted to ask something. If you don't want to give it to me, then I won't agree to the deal … I'm sure he can take care of us with ba-”
I stopped my words as the young man looked at me. “Sachi,” also heard Izumi's voice that I ignored.
I was still sitting smilingly looking at him, and there was also a cynical glance towards me that was done by the pink dress woman I was insinuating. “Do you not know? The air here is very hot, very different from my house. Say yes or no, I do not like if rejected,” said I who came to stand back to look back at the young man.
"You are only a woman."
"I am a woman, but I am treated very differently than any woman" I replied by enlarging my eyeballs as if they were widening their eyes to me.
“Kou, come! My business here is done,” my murmur slowly and keep looking at him.
“My sister is very stubborn, if she wants something then she has to get it. Compared to the three of us, our father loved him more than anything. Disappointed him, I do not recommend him,” said Haruki who chimed in my words, I glanced back at him who had also risen from his chair.
“I, will send a letter to our Father, to send an envoy who will bring a letter of agreement of trade relations between us. We have to continue the journey as soon as possible, so how?”
The young man turned his head towards the woman who previously spoke to me. I smiled slightly as the woman turned to me, “but, but Your Majesty.”
“Don't dispute my orders! Just do it, for Wattana!” it was the impact that made the woman's gaze more downcast.
“It's good, I'm happy. Come closer, my servant-to-be. Be prepared, to accept the suffering that I will make sure .. I give it to you,” my chimpanzee who again smiles at him.
“Your Highness, think carefully .. Does Your Majesty not feel strange about what is happening here?” I glanced at the woman in pink, she spoke softly with the young man while putting her hand against the young man's shoulder.
