How To Divorce My Husband

005. Reprimande (Regulation)
“You all pervert Noblesse oblige in order to commemorate the birthday of someone whose origin is not yet clear.”
The sentence managed to shake the nobles who were in the ballroom of the concubine palace. If it wasn't Kayena de Pexley who had just uttered those words, they wouldn't have to feel too worried. However, the sentence was thrown from the lips of Kayena de Pexley who was the daughter of the highly respected Grand Duke Pexley.
“Pardon our presumption, Her Majesty the Queen.”
One of the representatives of the nobles apologized, after which they compactly paid their respects to Kayena. The atmosphere in the ballroom is no longer pleasant, because Kayena has brought the topic of conversation that became boomerang.
“All this is my fault, Her Majesty the Queen.”
The voice that sounded so disgusting in Kayena's ears finally sounded as well. She then looked back at her husband's concubine with her chin held high.
“So, Consort Katarina realized the mistake she had made?”
If in a previous life, maybe Kayena will sincerely forgive when Katarina says the same sentence. However, in this life there was no mercy for him. The woman was guilty. Then Kayena won't close her eyes.
“S-aya who made this show. So I'm supposed to be blamed.”
“Indeed,” answered Kayena while folding both hands on the chest.
There was a surprised look on Katarina's face. She thought Kayena would forgive her mistakes as usual. However, the woman this time seemed not to be letting go of him just like that.
“Anyone should be punished if they have violated Noblesse oblige. Especially when it comes to my son, the late Prince Carcel.” With her chin held high, Kayena stared at them all one by one. There was no fear implied on his face.
“Enough!”
The voice was also heard after a long time just watching the show presented by Kayena. Whose voice was it if not the voice of the Imperial Sun, Kaizen Alexander Kadheston. Looks like the man began to be uncomfortable because his favorite concubine was disturbed by the wife who tonight appeared like someone else.
“Ratuku,” call Kaizen in a voice that is not quite soft naturally.
The gentle voice of the man was only aimed at one woman in this world. Who else if not Katarina.
Perhaps, in her previous life Kayena would feel “sikit” happy when called with the call. However, this time the call even sounded very laughable in Kayena's ears. “Ratuku” said, it is clear that his companion position is now filled by women who only have the status of concubine.
“I'm listening, Your Grace.” Kayena said as she lowered her hands. To deal with Robelia's taste he can't be too haughty.
“Come. Sit beside me, then forgive the mistake of concubine Katarina. We can finish this event first, just do the ceremony commemorating the death of our son.”
Kaizen stand. Raised one of his hands to give the queen a code. The problem can be solved immediately if the woman is willing to obey, as usual. Kaizen believes the queen hasn't changed too much. Perhaps only her outer appearance had changed drastically. The “fiery-api” attitude of the woman must have been triggered by an unstable emotion.
“I'm sorry, Your Honor. Joining you, concubine Katarina, as well as the nobles present in this room is tantamount to betraying my own son.” Kayena said steadily without much consideration. “I came here as a Mother who wanted to fight for the rights that should have been given to the late crown prince. Not to be a traitor.”
Kaizen. His queen ... indirectly just said if he betrayed his own son.
A queen like Kayena who is usually very quiet and submissive, why suddenly become a rebel? Only because the king and the nobles celebrated the birthday of the concubine, coinciding with the day of Crown Prince Carcel's death.
“I will wait for the results of the justice I fought through the open session at the king's palace,” Kayena said later. “Then I excuse you. Enjoy the party, Consort Katarina has taken the trouble to make this festive party," he continued. "I just came as a guest who wants to make you all know if there is an obligation that will not be lost in time.”
When the sentence was successfully spoken, Kayena quickly turned her body and took a step to get out of the ballroom of the concubine palace. The departure of Queen Robelia was accompanied by the respect given by the nobles.

“How did you sleep last night, Kima?”
“Sleep me soundly Her Majesty the Queen,” replied Kayena's personal servant who was helping the owner of the name styling his long black hair.
Maybe because he managed to do the first appearance well, therefore he can sleep very well. So when the sun comes to the surface, he wakes up with a fit body. Ready to do her regular job as a queen.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast as usual, he then rushed off to the study. The palace chef happened to prepare several types of soft and light pastry with different fillings and toppings, ranging from crystal sugar, raisins, cream patissiere, apple jam, melted chocolate, to honey. Kayena does prefer breakfast pastry with a glass of tea in the morning. He will only eat a heavy menu during the day and night. Sometimes even at night Kayena only enjoys a few grains of wine.
“This is really the budget that the concubine palace put out in one night?” kayena did not believe it. “Only to commemorate the birthday of concubine Katarina, the palace to spend a budget of thousands of pieces d’?”
Kayena had a chance to shake her head to read the budget of funds spent by the palace concubine. Financial matters were mostly taken care of and arranged by Kayena as the King's wife. Honestly, Kayena sanga was surprised to see the amount of budget spent by concubine Katarina. No longer thousands of Pices de bronze or Pices d’argent, but thousands of pieces d’or.
Currencies in Robelia are categorized into three groups, namely Pices de bronze, Pices d’, and pies d’or. The name of the official currency Robelia itself is a robel coin, but people more often call their currency based on the type of formation. Suppose the currency with the highest nominal is pies d’or, which is a money robel made of pure gold.
“When his work only ate and served the king, but once spent the funds, the budget spent was so detrimental to the finances of the palace.”
Kima who was standing next to Kayena's desk joined the head bobbles. During his time as Kayena's personal servant, he knew very well how the original habits of his former co-workers who had now been awarded the noble title of Grand Concubine. From the rural girl who used to grow up in the stables, now became the king's favorite concubine.
“Give me another note, Kima.”
Finished evaluating the notes on the budget of the funds issued by the palace concubine, Kayena switched on the other records. Not only was there Kima accompanying him, but there was a notulen ready in his room.
“Agenda annual party palace?” kayena muttered while capturing the contents of the note. “The annual palace will be held next season. We have to prepare it from now.” He said as he opened the yellowish-white sheet by sheet of paper.
The annual feast of the palace is a celebration of the founding of the kingdom of Robelia. Every know, a festive party will be held in the main palace or palace of the king. Leaders from the region around Robelia will also be invited to enliven the annual feast.
“We must start preparing the arrangement of the guest list of invitations, create the main event, prepare additional security, choose the food menu, until preparing for the after party event, etc,” said Kayena with a hand that moves a pen decorated with peacock feathers on a paper. Outline the needs that must be prepared for the event. Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to his head.
“Kima.”
“Iya, Her Majesty The Queen.”
“Call someone to send you this note,” he said as he closed the note he just read. In addition to these notes, Kayena also left a message that was poured on a piece of mail. A smile appeared on Kayena's lips after a soldier went to the concubine's palace to deliver his message.

“Your Majesty Concubine, there is a message from the queen's palace.”
The woman who was still curled up under the thick, soft-haired blanket seemed to lower a bit the fabric of the blanket that covered her body. “Message from queen's palace? This half?” response later.
Last night he could not sleep well, because he had spent some time crying in the arms of the lover. Who else if not the Imperial Sun, the Kaizen King. The man patiently accompanied his concubine until he felt more back. Only in the early hours can they fall asleep, having spent the romance that washed away as usual.
“This ... it is noon, Your Majesty Concubine,” said the waiter who just delivered the message. Correcting.
“Ah, it's noon apparently.” Katarina moved, moving from the bed. Her appearance looked messy with one strap of her evening gown that sagged to the shoulder, revealing her upper body part adorned by numerous rashes of redness. He really likes to deliberately show the former romance Kaizen left on his body. “What message did the queen send after ruining my dream party last night?”
The maid lowered her head before conveying the contents of the message sent by the queen. “You are required to take care of the annual party agenda of the palace.”
“A-pa?” shocked Katrina.
“Your Majesty the Queen asks you to take care of the annual party agenda of the palace to be held next season.”
