KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 30 honesty

Olive's situation has begun to improve, but to this day King Alzov is also still not seen. Olive hates the way King Alzov treats her, but I don't know sometimes Olive just wants to see a little care if what she says that night is true.

King Alzov never showed up again after that night. Sometimes Olive is also confused as to what the difference is if she cares or not. Because if you remember the incident that night it was still impossible Olive wanted to see the man again, but like this it also felt no better. Olive just felt her chest getting claustrophobic every day, especially with the attitude of King Alzov who chose to stay away from her. It seems that back again Olive can only try to convince herself that People like King Alzov will never have mercy on anyone, maybe because it is also Prince Artur to choose to leave.

Olive was sitting facing out her open bedroom window, as Gabriel's slow steps still shocked her.

"Gabriel is that you? "

"Ma'af My Lady, am I bothering you?"

"Why did Aunt come in the middle of the night? "

"Oh, dear Olive," as if some anxiety was trying to hide, Gabriel sighed trying to calm himself down before returning to talk, "I know how to get through the forbidden forest, I can drive you."

"No Aunt I can harm you if you leave this place."

"I promise to take you to Prince Artur."

"No Aunt I'm not sure."

"Trust me, King Alzov won't let Prince Artur come here to take you."

"I don't really care either, either" indifferent to the girl in her despair.

"Believe Olive, I just don't want the tragedy to revert," Gabriel's aunt looked at her as if begging.

Oh... Olive realized Gabriel's aunt was right.

"Prince Artur didn't have to come here, Auntie," Olive began to think it might be better for aunt Gabriel to know the truth so that she wouldn't be too anxious.

" I can see Bibi loves Prince Artur very much," of course Olive also did not want Prince Artur to be wretched.

"Everyone loves him, Olive." Gabriel tried to wipe away the seeds of his tears.

"Believe Aunt, she will be very happy, Prince Artur has returned to find his love, and he is not me" Olive shook her head.

"Aren't you what you mean, son? " there was a deep frown on Gabriel's forehead that was beginning to flutter.

"Prince Artur loved Princess Aurora very much, and I know that. I'm just Auntie's horse-sitter, Prince Artur saved me because Princess Aurora asked for it."

"You're confusing me Olive, really."

Olive felt it was natural that gabriel's aunt might not have been able to digest it properly.

"Listen Auntie, once again I say, I'm a nobody, I'm just the daughter of a palace horse nanny who happens to be stuck in this place. Maybe I can escape from this place, but I realize your sacrifice will not be worth me, I'm a nobody who deserves to be saved. Had I died in this place, I don't think anyone would have been sad except for my parents, even my older brother would have sold me to a dirty drunk."

"Say are you Princess Hoob? "

This time it was Olive who was stunned, "How did Auntie know? " the girl asked back.

"Oh... Thank God for bringing you here, Edmun should have told me that day."

"Edmun ?" suddenly Olive just remembered, "how's she doing?"

"King Alzov put him in the dungeon but rest easy the boy will be fine."

Gabriel cried again when he remembered the tiny baby he had given to the family of the horse's caretaker. Gabriel could do nothing when his daughter chose to fall in love with their Son, but at least his granddaughter had to stay alive. Gabriel asked the Hoob family to take the baby south, as far away as possible from their King, for King Alzov did not know about the baby.

"I'm sorry, because of me, Edmun to the wretched."

"Your cousin will be fine, son, believe me, he'll be able to deal with more difficult things than King Alzov's dungeon."

"Auntie said Edmun's my cousin?"

"Yes Olive, Edmun's father is Hoob's younger brother."

Olive just remembered why her family was said to be hereditary as a caretaker for horses.

"Auntie, is there anything I don't know? "

Gabriel looked back at the young girl in front of him gently, and shook his head.

"Why do you love me so much? " ask Olive suddenly.

Although shocked, Gabriel could only hug her back.

"I swear to God, I won't let King Alzov touch you again."

All this time everyone knew Lady Claire was their King's adopted daughter, with no one ever knowing that the girl's mother was just a palace maid. When her husband died trying to save their King several decades ago, Gabriel was pregnant with his first daughter. Her husband died protecting their King, although his name is remembered as a knight but his son had to be born without a father.

The king offered him a royal title, but Gabriel refused, preferring to devote his life to taking care of the Princess and the two Crown Princes who had also recently lost their mother by suicide. Claire, Prince Alzov and Prince Artur grow up together.

"I can only tell you, you deserve to be happy, Olive. I'm gonna do anything, you gotta get out of this palace."

"But Auntie," Olive still felt doubtful.

"Let's love them all love you.... "
