“The Queen's position has been empty for too long, shouldn't Her Majesty start considering the proposal from the nobles?”
The question was posed by Robelia's legal adviser who had just presented her with some of the reports the King had requested of her. Almost a month since the departure of the Imperial Young Eagle, the condition of the kingdom began to stabilize, although it had not fully returned to how it was. Under the leadership of the King, the government sought to rise, after the best of the defense left their homeland. If not the last heir to fix everything as the King of power, who else should take up the task?
“Some Lady candidates from noble families close to the royal family have already been sorted by senior administrators. Among the Lady, some have met His Majesty through the season event, until the socialization held by the nobility.”
The man, who appeared busy with several scrolls of documents, appeared to be in no mood to put the new information submitted by legal counsel first. He will review the report later, after the main work is completed.
“If you're done talking, leave this room immediately. I'll check the report soon.”
The legal advisor seemed to object when “diusir” suddenly by the King. But how else. It is his job to convey input related to the issue that is being discussed. The nobles also continued to urge the kingdom, so that the position of the King's companion was filled by the right figure. There have been several names of Lady who made it to the King's desk. As a legal advisor, he only wants the best for his homeland. Although he knew that the King was not ready to let other women fill the position of Queen Consort before. Even the mistress he loved so much was relegated to level IV.
To this day, the condition of King Robelia's relationship with a Level IV concubine has also not been made progress. This condition further encouraged the nobles to offer potential candidates to fill the vacant Queen Consort and Grand Concubine positions.
“You haven't had lunch, Your Highness?”
Not long after the legal counsel left, came Kaelus who had permission to fill the stomach after reviewing personnel changes.
“I am not hungry,” replied the King.
Hearing the answer, Kaelus could only breathe in a ruffled breath while staring malang at the lunch dish that must have been cold. The food was laid out an hour ago on the table. As of now, none of them had been touched by King Robelia.
“Good you come back sooner,” said the Robelia King by hand thrusting the report documents that had been submitted by legal counsel. “Telays for me. What other Lady do they offer? Is there anything suitable to be used as a counter Katarina?”
Caelus knitted his forehead while receiving the document. Without many words, he opened and began to read. Reviewing a series of information about some of the Lady who was introduced like a promoted merchandise. In addition to information related to identity, there are also listed the advantages of the Lady, ranging from physical beauty, speech, intelligence, elegance, expertise, perseverance, habits, adab and procedures according to aristocrats, and so on.
“All the Lady featured in this report are not easy rivals for Level IV Concubines. They all have a clear identity, educated, insightful, equipped with adab and noble manners—intya really ready to be a potential companion for you,” explained Kaelus. “There is even a medical history that guarantees that the Lady are healthy as well as fertile. So, there is no doubt for them to immediately give birth to a successor after the occurrence of body relations.”
“Such women are precisely difficult to manage,” comments King Robelia. Actually, he seemed reluctant to respond. “Is it plain? Nasty? Or obedient? There aren't. They are all made according to the wishes of the parents who thirst for wealth and power.”
Kaelus agreed with the speech. However, he found a name that made him curious. “What about Lady Cyrene? He is an old friend of Queen Kayena. Still including distant relatives of the Pexley family.”
“Lady Cyrene?” there was confusion in the King's tone.
“Yes, Your Grace. Lady Cyrene Asterya d’Oclean. The only daughter of a d’Oclean family who lives on the Robelia peninsula. Princess Grand Duke d’Oclean who is famous for her kind heart.”
King Robelia seemed to be considering it. The name sounds familiar to the ear, but he forgot the shape. “Save only his name in the list of considerations.”
“Good, Your Highness.”
Kalus then separated the name and information related to Lady Cyrene Asterya d’Oclean. There were already several Lady candidates on the consideration list. Thus, it does not rule out the possibility if next month the position of concubines level III, II, I, the position of Grand Consort, even the position of Queen Consort can be filled.
Currently there is only Catherine as a Level IV concubine who rarely get time to be with King Robelia. While the Lady whose name is included in the list of considerations has better potential than him. In addition to having a clear background, they were also born and educated like noble girls. The other guarantee is, they're all healthy and fertile. Katarina was also once healthy and fertile, but now very “ allows” if the condition of her uterus is already problematic.
“How about Katarina? Is the woman already able to be civilized with her new residence?” continued King Robelia, asking about the woman he later ignored.
“So far Level IV concubines have started to be able to civilize.”
“Oh, great. Lately he also did not act much,” said King Robelia who is still focused on work.
“From my observation, Consort Katarina began to be overwhelmed with the punishment you gave. He also looked lonely since His Majesty rarely took the time to visit.”
Kaizen Alexander Kadheston—King Robelia seemed to let out a small sigh. The woman must have felt lonely as well as difficult, as she was revealed to be an IV level concubine. Where Level IV concubines are also no longer allowed to live in the Grand Concubine's palace, but must live in the Concubine's pavilion located at the very end. Since Kyara—'s death her closest servant, she also seemed to have always been alone. Although many servants were asked to serve all their needs, the petite woman always looked lonely.
“Set a visit schedule for tomorrow night. Maybe I should have visited that woman.”
“You sure, Your Majesty?”
Kaizen raised her eyes. “The woman needs a little attention to stay tame.”
Kaelus no longer asked. Only a nod of the head is given. He understood the King's intentions. After all, King Robelia was also still a healthy and pure man. The condition makes it have needs that must be completed, at least for when the need can only be channeled to one woman. Who else if not Consort Katarina whose presence is indeed used as an outlet for the desire of King Robelia, when the King can not channel his crazy fantasies to his beloved ex-wife.
Kaelus was unable to interfere with King Robelia's decision and her personal life. His existence on the side of the pure King as a Knight who works professionally. If required to advise the King, he would do so. Accepted or not the advice he bound, all returned to the King.
“Kael.”
“Iya. Your Eminence?”
“How's the progress on searching for the Queen? Is there any additional information?”
The loyal knight accompanying King Robelia seemed silent for some time, before finally speaking up. “I was informed that the special team that we fielded has arrived in the Astoria Empire. In Sana, they dug up information by showing a sketch of Queen Kayena's face and her features. The first week, they had trouble getting information from the common people, because no one claimed to have seen Queen Kayena. By the second week, the results were still the same. Until suddenly came the informant who claimed to work in the Imperial palace. After giving him a few hundred Pices d’or in return, the man said that he had seen a woman who resembled Queen Kayena.”
“Where?” ask Kaizen, hurry.
“In the Imperial palace,” Kaelus explained. “More precisely in a residential complex built specifically for the Imperial Empress Astoria.”
“Custom complex Empress?” Kaizen was unable to cover up her shock.
“Cannot be!” Kaezar seemed to be unaccepted with the information that Kaelus had just conveyed. “How can my Queen be Empress elsewhere?”
“This information is still uncertain the truth, because the identity of the woman is very guarded by the Emperor Astoria. Even the informant who carried the information instantly disappeared, the day after making a transaction with the special team fielded by His Majesty.”
“Then immediately drop one special cavalry to expand the investigation and search. What are you waiting for?”
“Your Highness,” call Kaelus with patience who is back stabilized. “Astoria was not a small region like Icrea that Robelia had conquered, but rather an Empire that encompassed several large territories within. If His Majesty sent one special cavalry, they could instantly launch a counterattack on Robelia.”
“You're scared, Kaelus?”
Kaelus. The king still does not understand. “I'm never afraid if I have to face the battlefield. However, what I am afraid of is Robelia who is in an unstable condition. If a war breaks out between Robelia and the Astoria Empire, I can predict if their winning percentage is 70%.”
Kaezar suddenly felt his head dizzy. If it was true that his ex-wife was in the Astoria Empire, then it would be difficult to bring him home. This must be Khayansar's plan, because indeed his former brother-in-law had many relations from various circles, including the class leader of the Astoria Empire.
“We think about this matter carefully, Your Majesty. I'm asking, you do not rush, as long as there is no certainty regarding the existence of Queen Kayena.”
Kaizen could not dispute the input, because Kaelus's remarks had a point. “Soon let me know if there is latest information.”
“Good, Your Highness.”
“Now you can go,” Kaizen said after ending her job this afternoon. He moved, wanting to leave the room.
“Where are you going, Your Majesty? let me escort you.”
“No need,” reject Kaizen. “I just want to take a walk to the Queen's palace, then stop by the greenhouse.”
Kaelus went silent. Lately he knows the new habits of the King, including “” streets to the Queen's empty palace or a greenhouse that has been left behind by its owner. The purpose of the King to go there is not only to want to go for a walk, but to treat longing for his ex-wife.
“Let me accompany you, Your Majesty. I promise I will only accompany, then wait outside when you enter the Queen's palace or greenhouse.”
Kaizen gave a loud snort, before opening the door. “As far as you are.”
For Kaelus, it was a form of consent. So he immediately followed King Robelia who was about to visit the residence of his ex-wife. But who would have thought that in the middle of the trip, they were confronted by a beautiful woman in mourning clothes—a black serba of a headdress in the form of a Tudor hat from the Renaissance that covered some of her golden blonde hair, until the classic model dress from the United Kingdom is dark, dangling covering the legs. From that look, it was clear that the woman was in a period of mourning.
“Kaizen!”
Even more surprising, the beautiful woman who owns the ocean is heard clearly calling King Robelia by name alone, without any frills of honor.
“Bajing*n, what have you done to my Brother?!” when it managed to get close, the beautiful woman who seemed to show emotional gurgles was directly hitting the chest of King Robelia's field brutally.
When Kaelus was about to break up, Kaizen appeared to be banning the code.
“Caecilia, relax. I'll explain it to you.” Instead of being angry, Kaizen calms down the beautiful woman first. His tone also sounded so familiar to the owner of the name taken from the name of one of the saints.
Behind them, Kaelus seemed unable to cover his shock. Apparently, the beautiful woman was the Dowager Duchess Caecilia. Dowager is a noble widow according to her title. Since Caecilia's husband was a Duke, she was called the Dowager Duchess. In 19th century English tradition, when a family member dies, it is required to mourn for one year. During that one year they were also required to wear black, and were not allowed to participate in the annual season— festivities held in London, each summer. It is usually synonymous with party and socialization. (Basic information by novel Something About You).
Now Kaelus knows why the beautiful woman who is an old acquaintance of King Robelia—, especially the ex-wife of the King—, wears all-black clothes. Dowager Duchess Caecilia's husband had indeed died, about ten months ago.
“I let you go, because my sister loves you. But, what have you done? Hurt her?” lance Dowager Duchess Caecilia with tears melting from her blue sea netra.
“I reneged on a promise to you, because I hurt her. Now I even lost her.”
“It was a punishment for you,” reply Dowager Duchess Caecilia. “You should think before you act. Out there may be many women who fall in love, even crazy about you. However, they all cannot match the greatness of my sister's love. Therefore, since long ago I retreated when I wanted to be your second wife.”
Kaizen let out a small sigh while bringing the body of the beautiful woman who had long been absent from the sense of sight into the embrace. “I know he loves me that big. It's just, this time my mistake is bigger than his love.”
“You do not deserve the love of my sister,” the beautiful Dowager Duchess Caecilia with both hands still supporting the distance between them. “My poor sister had to suffer alone for loving a man like you.”
Kaizen no longer retaliates. In this world, other than Kayena, perhaps Caecilia was the woman who knew her best. The three of them had known for a long time, almost becoming one family, if only Caecilia had not been able to become Kaizen's second wife.
By that time Kayena and Kaizen's marriage had been decided. On the other hand, the existence of Caecilia who was considered a kind holy maiden, chosen the elders to be Kaizen's second wife. However, Caecilia rejected the idea, as she already regarded Kayena as her own sister. How could a brother be a thorn in his sister's marriage? However, who would have thought that after Caecilia refused, Kaizen instead brought the closest person to Kayena as a thorn in their marriage.
“Who is that cheap woman? how dare he tease my lover?” the furious growl came from a Level IV Concubine who happened to be not far from the location Kaizen, Kaelus, and Caecilia were located.
His heartbeat was immediately unsettled when he saw how the lover who recently stayed away from him, lightly hugged another woman. “What could he possibly be one of my lover's new wife candidates?” monolong, windy. “No I will let him take my lover as well as my position. I'll teach him a lesson soon!” katarina exclaimed, then immediately left her hiding place with a cloudy face.
The day finally arrived. One by one women from among the nobility will surely approach the lover like a leech that targets a pool of blood. As the message of his new ally—Klautviz de Mere, he must cleverly survive in the palace harem. There will be many noble women who come, but he should not be daunted. A class of Kayena de Pexley alone could he depak from the palace, let alone them? Katarina has nothing to fear.
