I'm the King's Son?
CHAPTER 4
~In taman~
Liliana A.k.a Xiao Hui
"Your Majesty.."call Hong Li slowly to disperse my daydream. He and General Yong looked at each other while using facial expression sign language to communicate. They wanted to call me but they didn't dare.
I turned my face back and twisted my body. I knew it was time for me to meet the King. I don't know why I'm reluctant to leave this place. I feel comfortable here.
"Your Majesty it's time you met His Majesty the King" said the butler Hong Li politely.
"Alright take me there now uncle." I replied which surprised Hong Li.
"Your Majesty.. Please don't call me that." with a surprised expression he opened his voice again.
I ignored him and walked past the two people who were currently looking at me strangely.
'What's wrong with Your Majesty?.' Maybe that's what's on the minds of the two people who are currently walking back behind me.
~In the palace hall~
There was a middle-aged man sitting in his chair. He was accompanied by a woman who sat to his left. They are the King and Queen of this kingdom.
A soldier entered the hall and walked towards the King and Queen, not forgetting that he saluted the two.
"Greetings Your Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. Crown Prince Xiao Hui came to fulfill your call" he said politely but firmly.
The King and Queen looked at each other in wonder, because for several years the Crown Prince or their children were very difficult if told to come to face or to meet.
Before long they both looked back at the soldier. The king ordered him to let his son come in and face him.
"Please let him in." he ordered with a smile.
The King and Queen smiled hearing that the Crown Prince wanted to see them. They had not seen their son for a long time. Because their children usually prefer to roam outside the palace and rarely in the palace.
He would rather spend time flirting with the girls. I love coming home when it's late at night. Many people did not like the Crown Prince because of his behavior. Including one of his own royal family members. She was one of the king's concubines.
Liliana A.k.a Xiao Hui POV
A soldier came to me telling me that the King and Queen allowed me to enter. I who heard it immediately stepped my feet to go inside.
When I came in, I saw two people sitting in a chair. A middle-aged man and woman. The man looked handsome, dignified as well as firm. While the beautiful woman at her age who is not young anymore is very graceful and also has the motherly nature of the gentle gaze of her eyes when looking at me.
They smiled to see me step towards him. A happy aura from both. I saw him just smiling faintly. My feet kept moving towards the two men.
I salute them.
"Greetings father, mother." I said to them.
"Sit down my son." the king commanded me, looking at the chair beside his right.
I also put myself there. Their smiles are not gone. Keep looking at me with a warm smile. Sarat will longing.
"Dad you think you're still mad at me?." The king said with his face turned sad. I saw him feel bad and I immediately refuted his words.
"No dad. It wasn't my fault, but it was my fault. Please forgive me for acting so childish. And also forgive me for always avoiding father and mother, for I am ashamed of myself." I quickly reply with a guilty expression.
Even though in my heart I unceasingly cursed this person I replaced. How could he act like this?. How could he make his parents like this, did he have no shame?. I just kept blabbing at length in my heart.
Though I used to always obey my parents, I wanted to see them happy. I was so hard-willed for them. But what the hell is this guy who even seems to act even though he is a Crown Prince and will later become the successor to the throne. Did he not think that later he would be the one to lead all his people?. God just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for myself.
He should be grateful to have parents like them. Who still want to take the time to meet despite being busy.
I feel sorry for myself. I rarely get time with my parents. They are very busy in business. And only once a week will they come home and see me. They rarely show a smile, no. They never smiled at me. They only smile like that when I'm getting married.
Well those are the only memories I remember and make me miss. But it was now just like a farewell that separated me and them.
Even the many trophies and charters I got in some big cupboards didn't make them smile at me. I always try to look good in their eyes. Without me realizing I had lost my precious childhood.
While other children play with his carefree at the park with his parents. I could only look at them from far away. I stared at the pile of books in front of me, I had to read and study them only with the servants in my house.
My old wounds reappeared when I remembered them. I'm trying to get those painful memories out of my mind and heart right now. I wanted to get it out of me.
So that this wound does not get bigger and gaping wide. My eyes are starting to heat up. I need to try to calm down. Can't look weird in the eyes of these two people.
"My son are you okay?. I heard last night at your house there was an intruder?." The queen asked in an anxious tone.
"I'm okay mom. I'm fine as you can see." My words calmed down when my heart was in a state of chaos.
"How did the intruder get in there?. I have to give them a severe punishment for trying to kill you."the King insisted with a furious face.
"I don't know dad. But before giving him a sentence it's better to ask them first so we know who told them to do it". My advice to the King is not to rush into action without getting any information.
I actually know who told them. It's just that I want the hit men to tell themselves the truth. At least I wonder if they will be loyal to their master or vice versa.
"You're right, my son, I'll have the chief of the guards interrogate them. But if you look at the day you do look different than usual."he's amazed at me too may feel strange about my attitude. I don't know.
"I just want to change my attitude, Dad. I want to be better. Forgive me if this makes my father or mother feel uncomfortable" I replied.
And they just smiled at me while nodding.
"No father and mother are so happy that you can finally be more ready to mature my son." replied the Queen in her soft voice.
Not bad, not bad, this scenario I'm making. They could accept it without feeling any strange. I am grateful for my above average brain capacity. I have no trouble being here. And also can memorize easily all that I do not know.
The three of us ended up in a conversation with a small family. Laughing and joking, a thing I can't get in my own world. But now I can feel it.
I am also very grateful to be in this world. I could feel a real family warmth. Also get some love.
Thank you to God for granting my little wish. Which can now be true even though I once doubted it.
