Miss Most Perfect Beauty
Meeting with Qirani and Feodor
“Uuhh... Edward..”.
Qirani opened his eyes again, not as usual but this time Qirani remembered the name of his son, Edward. His face was bright and not as pale as before, even his vision was beginning to normalize again. His body was fresh and did not feel the pain, he was even able to show his smile to Edward.
“I-mom, you remember me?” edward asked not to think.
The servants who were in Qirani's room also stared in disbelief, with Qirani being helped by the waiter to change his position by leaning on his bed.
“Sure I remember you, how could I forget my own son?” answer Qirani.
Edward wiped away his tears, but quickly he wiped back his tears that accidentally broke.
“B-beef, k-you my son Bela isn't it?”
Once again Qirani was wrong to know Scarlesia, from both her eyes tucked into an enormous longing for her only daughter. Edward quickly prevents Qirani from misrecognizing Scarlesia again.
“Mother, she's not Bela. She's her son Defend, the three of them are her son Bela then this is Duke Eginhardt her husband Bela,” explained Edward.
“Greetings to His Holiness Evariste,” said they simultaneously gave greetings.
“A-his children Bela? B-means...”.
“True, they are my Mother's grandchildren and also my niece,”
“Bela... how about Bela?”
There was no response and no answer given by them to Qirani. They were silent because they were reluctant to answer him, Qirani nodded in understanding why they could not answer him.
“Alright, you don't need to answer. I already know the answer without you telling me directly,” said Qirani.
Qirani again looked at his grandson with a sad look, no matter how he was, he had to give up everything that happened to his daughter.
“Can you guys get closer?” pinta Qirani's.
The three of them approached at Qirani's request.
“Bela has given birth to a beautiful and handsome child like you. It must be that as long as he's with you, he's happy, isn't he? That's enough for me. Bela who suddenly disappeared brought home 3 grandchildren for me. Thank you, thank you,”
Qirani could no longer bear his sadness, it had been more than 20 years he waited for the return of his son but what he got was even news of his daughter's death. Scarlesia wiped away Qirani's tears that wet her cheeks.
“Grandma.. Can we call you granny?” ask Scarlesia.
“Bby, you can call me grandma,”
Qirani clasped his grandchildren's hands and stroked their heads one by one. Edward also felt sad to see his mother interact with his nephew. Eldrick also remembered his past, his parents died when before he married his wife so that his children could not see the appearance of his brother or grandmother but now they could see his grandmother.
“Bela... Are you Bela, right? Y-you're home Bela?”
An old man came and immediately hugged Scarlesia, just as Qirani also mistook Scarlesia for her daughter.
“Who?” confused Scarlesia.
“Yes my dear, he's not Bela. He is Bela's son, look at the three of them Bela's children and that means they are our grandchildren,” said Qirani introduced them.
Qirani shook her head while bowed down moodyly, the man seemed to understand what Qirani meant to her.
“So yes, Bela is no more,”
“Sia, Carlen, Aldert, and also Duke, introduce him is my Father and Bela. He was the spouse of the previous emperor, Prince Feodor Evariste,”
(Sekedar info yes, if the emperor is a man then his female companion is called empress if the emperor is a woman then the one who accompanies him is called a prince).
They greeted Feodor, and Edward introduced their names to Qirani and Feodor. Feodor was also very happy when he found out that Qirani had fully recovered thanks to Scarlesia's healing powers. They talked for a moment about themselves and what it was like when Anabela was alive. I don't think time has passed for nearly 2 hours.
“Duke, can you stay here for a while?” pinta Qirani Feodor.
“Alright Your Majesty,”
Edward seemed to understand that Qirani and Feodor wanted to have a serious talk with Eldrick. Carlen, Aldert, and Scarlesia are out of their room. Only the three of them remained in the room.
“How did Bela die?” ask Qirani to the point.
“Izin replied Your Majesty, Lariss I mean Bela died from being killed by Empress Roosevelt. It happened more than 10 years ago,”
“Killed? Then how is the fate of the empress now?” ask Qirani again.
“Empress Roosevelt was executed because she had killed the emperor and was convicted of murdering Bela and the other imperial concubines,”
Hearing Eldrick's reply, they simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief because at least the murderer of his son had received the appropriate punishment and was not allowed to roam in the outside world.
“Is Bela happy when married to you?” ask Feodor.
“Happy Your Majesty because we love each other, she has also given birth to 3 handsome and beautiful children for me. Bela always said repeatedly that she was grateful to meet me and give birth to children but I always felt guilty for not being able to protect her,”
Qirani grasped both hands of Eldrick, he stared sincerely at the two eyes of Eldrick.
“Don't feel guilty because I'm sure Bela never blames you, Bela loves you in another sense she's prepared to take any risks when choosing you as her partner. Bela happy life is enough for us so please do not blame yourself,” said Qirani.
“Alright, thank you Your Highness,”
Then Eldrick went and withdrew from Qirani's room, leaving Qirani with Feodor. Soon after, Edward came back because he wanted to talk about something important to Qirani.
“Dad, Mother, I decided to make Scarlesia the crown princess of Evariste. I'm sorry to have made the decision without telling you both, but even if you refuse, I will still make Scarlesia the crown princess,”.
“Alright, without you asking permission even me and Feodor have allowed it,” reply Qirani.
“Sia is very similar to Bela, even I heard her performance was very good when she was at Roosevelt. He helped save the empire from destruction, didn't he? Sia also leads knights and witches on the battlefield, so she has met the criteria as emperor,” Feodor said.
“Edward, go and announce once again to the outside world that the female leadership in Evariste will return. Don't let there be any bad rumors about Sia, anyone who says anything bad about Sia or about Carlen and Aldert just cut off their tongues. I'll never let a single person hurt them,”
Qirani said that by putting on a super serious face, Edward looked angry and obeyed what Qirani said to him. She immediately went outside to carry out Qirani's orders to announce to the world the rise of women's leadership in Evariste.
“This is okay isn't it?” feodor asked Qirani.
“It's okay because before I woke up I heard a whisper that I should hand over this empire to Scarlesia. That girl doesn't seem like an ordinary girl,”
