Marquess Filan was very surprised to see the current appearance of King Alec with slightly blackened eye bags. Both were in King Alec's office.
"Your Majesty, are you all right? Does Your Majesty feel unwell?" Marquess Filan asked worriedly.
"I'm doing fine. It's just that last night I couldn't sleep and was forced to drink wine so I could rest my eyes." King Alec replied a little lethargic.
"If you may know, what made it difficult for His Majesty to sleep last night?" Marquess Filan asked curiously.
"All because of risoles." King Alec replied.
"What?" Marquess Filan did not understand.
"It was a meal made by the Queen for the Queen Mother yesterday. Last night I kept glaring at the delicacy of the food. I want to eat risoles again. But only the Queen can make it." King Alec said sadly.
Marquess Filan was shocked. But in his heart he also admitted that the food made by the Queen named risoles was indeed very delicious and addictive.
"Why didn't His Majesty just ask the Queen to make it again for you?" The Marquess Filan.
"That's impossible. Just meeting him is difficult. When we met, her attitude was very cold to me." King Alec replied as his hand propped up his chin.
King Alec let out a long breath. This morning King Alec did not enjoy the breakfast menu.
"Did the Queen come out of the palace again this morning?" Ask King Alec.
"Yes Your Majesty. Early in the morning the Queen had already left the palace." Answer Marquess Filan.
"I wonder what the Queen is doing and planning right now." The King of Alec.
"What about today's meeting plan with the palace officials and nobles?"
"All is ready, Your Majesty. In an hour, the meeting will be held in the royal hall. And there is something important that I must tell His Majesty." Answer Marquess Filan.
"Say!" King Alec's.
"Previous people want to ask His Majesty first. Is it true that His Majesty the King wants to remarry and have a concubine?" Marquess Filan asked carefully.
King Alec widened his eyes.
"Please! How could you ask me something like that? I already have the Queen. Why should I marry again and have a concubine?" Snapped King Alec while hitting the table hard.
Marquess Filan immediately knelt down.
"Please forgive Your Highness for the carelessness of the servant. The servant asked His Majesty directly, because there are currently rumors that His Majesty the King will remarry and have a concubine. And the woman who is predicted to be His Majesty's concubine is Countess Sarah. Because lately His Majesty looks very close and pays attention to Countess Sarah, even closer than His Majesty's relationship with the Queen." Marquess Filan.
King Alec hardened his jaw.
"Stand!" The King of Alec's.
Marquess Filan immediately stood up.
"How soon has the rumor spread?" Ask King Alec.
"The rumor has reached the ears of the officials and nobles, Your Majesty. And soon the people of Cardania will hear it too. I am sure that at today's meeting the officials and nobles will urge His Majesty to get married again soon. They have done the same thing before. Because until now Her Majesty the Queen has not been able to give the heir to the throne for the kingdom of Cardania," explained Marquess Filan.
King Alec clasped his hands firmly.
"How dare they interfere in my personal affairs and want to manage my life at will." Said King Alec with a flushed face.
"Immediately find out who the person who has dared to spread this rumor. And make sure you and your men can put a damper on this rumor as soon as possible!" The King of Alec's.
"All right, Your Majesty. Marquess Andry and some of his men are trying to find the mastermind behind this rumor. We'll try to put down these rumors as soon as possible." Answer Marquess Filan.
"Do as soon as possible. I don't want these rumors to interfere with Suri's health. I also don't want the Queen to become more and more misunderstood by me. Cancel today's meeting. Tell me I'm sick and I need to rest. I don't want to get out of control for listening to their nonsense and making the royal hall a sea of blood." King Alec said furiously.
Marquess Filan nodded and saluted, then immediately left to carry out the King's orders.
"My relationship with the Queen is not good. I hope this rumor doesn't make it worse." King Alec muttered while massaging his temple.
Meanwhile, in Countess Sarah's room.
"Miss. The servant has got the information you want. Yesterday afternoon, the Queen had her personal servant deliver food to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. And at the same time, His Majesty the King arrived at the palace of the Queen Mother. According to the servants there, the Queen Mother invited Her Majesty the King and Marquess Filan to taste the food made by the Queen. Not only did the Queen Mother give praise because the taste of the food was very good, but Her Majesty the King and Marquess Filan also gave the same praise. Even His Majesty the King eats the most." Report the waiter Nara.
Countess Sarah squeezed her dress firmly. His jaw was hardened as his heart burned with jealous fire when he learned that the King was praising the Queen's food.
"But there's one more important news Miss." Nara.
"Say, Nara." Countess Sarah's orders.
"There are currently rumors spreading in the palace. Rumor had it that His Majesty the King would remarry and make the woman the King's concubine. And a lot of people are saying that it's Non who's going to be in that position." Nara said excitedly.
"Yes, Miss." Nara answered with a smile.
"Actually today will be held an important meeting between His Majesty the King with officials and nobles. But the meeting was canceled because His Majesty's health is not good." Nara.
"Did you say His Majesty the King is sick? I have to get to the King's palace to see how things are." Countess Sarah said as she stood up from her seat.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother has come." There was a scream outside the door of Countess Sarah's room.
The door to Countess Sarah's room opened and the graceful Queen Mother Helene entered the room with the court physician. Countess Sarah was surprised that Queen Mother Helene had come with a healer.
"Sincerely, Your Majesty the Queen Mother." Countess Sarah.
The Queen Mother simply nodded then sat on the chair.
"How are your wounds, Countess Sarah?" Ask Queen Mother Helene.
"It's better, Your Majesty." Answer Countess Sarah.
"Tabib Hana, please check on Countess Sarah's condition and the wound on her arm." The Queen Mother Helene's.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Answer Physician Hana, one of the court physicians of Empress Dowager Helene's creed.
A surprised and nervous look on Countess Sarah's face.
"Please sit down, Miss. I'll check on your circumstances." Pinta the healer Hana.
Countess Sarah also said. Physician Hana immediately carried out his duties.
"How is the healer Hana?" Ask Queen Mother Helene.
"Countess Sarah's condition is very good Your Majesty, even the wound on her arm has started to close. One or two today, the wound will close perfectly." Answer the physician Hana.
"Goodoo. So Count Donovan can immediately pick up his daughter to return to Count Donovan's residence." Said Suri Helene's Mother.
Countess Sarah flinched. Countess Sarah's face instantly turned grim. He did not want to get out of the palace and be far away from King Alec.
"For Your Majesty. Is it wrong for the servant that His Majesty hates the servant?" Ask Countess Sarah.
"I don't hate you. After all, you have been instrumental in saving His Majesty the King. But I don't like your presence in this palace. I'm sure you've heard some bad rumors about His Majesty the King. I don't want those rumors and also your existence in this palace, to ruin the King and Queen's relationship later." The Queen Mother Helene.
"Hasn't their relationship been broken before, even before the servant lived in this palace? Her Majesty the Queen is also seen not to love Her Majesty the King. The Queen has always been cold to His Majesty the King. It would not be wrong if His Majesty the King wanted to have another woman who sincerely loved him and always accompanied him." Countess Sarah.
Plaque!!!
Suri Helene's mother slapped Countess Sarah's face hard.
"How presumptuous! How dare you say that? You don't know anything about their real relationship. If their relationship deteriorates, we should help fix it. Not even more devastating. You should know your limits and position, Countess Sarah. My son only has a wife. Only Roseline, the only woman I consider to be my daughter-in-law at any time. And I would not accept another woman as a concubine of my son." Suri Helene said with anger.
Empress Dowager Helene immediately left Countess Sarah's room with the servant and healer Hana.
"Are you okay, Miss?" Ask Nara.
"I'm afraid of Nara. I don't want to leave this palace and stay away from His Majesty the King. I love him so much and I want to be around him always. You have to help me so that I can continue to live in this palace." Countess Sarah said in tears.
