Just the emptiness and nothingness that Steven was currently feeling. Though he lived in a very large, beautiful, and magnificent palace. All his needs are met without anything less. Sometimes he looked in the mirror and saw someone who was very foreign to him.
The best quality silk suits are now always attached to his body.
" no. It's not me. I miss people calling me Ipen. " Say it to himself.
Every day he was surrounded by people he did not know. Let alone to get out of the palace, to meet the parents who have been caring for and raising him lovingly is not an easy thing to do for him. Everything he did had to go according to plan and he couldn't do anything of his own free will.
The palace is getting tighter, not just for Steven but for all who live in the palace. Since the scandal King Morlouis when married to a poor woman while still the Crown Prince. Since then King Pedro recorded it in the court law book and patented it so that no one could violate it.
" Prince Steven! Queen Felisha came to visit" The voice of the maid broke her daydream.
" All right, get him in!"
Tap.tap.
A very graceful sound of foot-banging entered Prince Steven's room.
" Is there anything that your mother came here for ?" Prince Steven asked while bowing his gaze.
Then Queen Felisha sat in a chair not far from where Steven was standing.
" Prince! your age is very mature. It's time for you to choose a future wife for you to marry."
" I've got my own candidate Mother. I love that girl so much. Can I bring her here for me to marry ? I promised I'd marry her." Prince Steven replied.
" It's not so my son. This is the palace wedding. That doesn't mean it's just about love. This marriage is about politics so that cooperation is better. It's not for you or me, son!. But this is for the sake of this country."
Steven fell silent.
" There are currently 3 really loyal kingdoms helping our kingdom a lot over the past 10 years. They have beautiful princesses. Their daughters will be the candidates you choose to marry. The election process of the Princess will be carried out fairly and gradually."
That's how Queen Felisha explained to Prince Steven about the marriage and the selection process of the Princess.
Queen Felisha left Prince Steven's room.
' What kind of ridiculous thing is this ? I was dragged here forcibly. My life also changed drastically. Not only my life, my name has changed. Within 1 night I was already predicated as the Crown Prince of this Country. And right now I have to marry someone I don't know and don't love in the name of the country.
How is Lily who is currently waiting for me back??
No. gabe.. No. gabe.. This can't be allowed.
I have to get out of here.
Then..
Where are Mom and Dad at the moment?
Lily.pain.. I'm gonna get out of this hell prison. I'll see you soon and marry you.' Steven grumbled to himself.
Steven just stayed in his room after attending the royal class. When he came out of his room he slowly memorized the route of the way out of the palace and the motion of the guards to supply him who will try to escape.
After a few days of researching finally came the time for him to start his action.
Tok.dok..
The voice of the male servant knocked on the door. About the servant Prince Steven asked permission to his mother who was none other than Queen Felisha, to replace some female servants in exchange with male servants. And Queen Felisha agreed.
" Prince Steven, your dinner is ready."
" Please enter the waiter."
Then the waiter came in carrying 1 talam containing some food. Unbeknownst to the waiter, Prince Steven sprinkled the powder into the flower tea so that anyone who drank it fell asleep.
It was a rule in the palace that all the Prince's food and drink should be tasted by his servants. As the maid sipped the flower tea, she slowly became very sleepy and fell asleep.
Prince Steven immediately changed the clothes he was wearing to the clothes his servant wore. Then Prince Steven laid the sleeping servant on his bed.
Dressed in waitresses, Prince Steven sneaked out of the palace.
" The prince is asleep. He doesn't want anyone to bother him. Don't accept anyone's guests." It was clear to Steven to his female servant who was outside the room while disguised as a waiter.
On the other hand Queen Felisha asked Robert for help to persuade her son to understand the situation and conditions in the palace. Especially the wedding of the palace.
Robert invites his wife Diana to meet Prince Steven, who is a child they have always considered as their own child.
" I'm sorry, sir, for now Prince Steven is asleep and doesn't want to see anyone's guests."
Robert and Diana felt something was off.
" But we're at Queen Felisha's behest to meet Prince Steven." Obviously Robert.
After a long fight, Robert and Diana were invited to enter.
Upon entering the room, Prince Steven fell asleep and turned his back to them.
Diana tried to get closer wanting to look at the face of her son who had not met for months.
But how shocked they are after realizing that the face they are looking at now is not the face of Prince Steven but the face of his servant.
" Mom wait here and make sure no one gets in here."
" Where are you going ?"
" I'm going to find Prince Steven. It doesn't seem to be too far from here."
"Good sir. Be careful sir."
Robert immediately came out and sneaked around looking for Prince Steven disguised as a servant.
Finally he caught a figure of body posture that he was very familiar with. Then pull him into an empty room.
"Bb..bb..bapak ??" Prince Steven couldn't believe what he saw.
"Sttt!!! Don't be noisy"
" I miss you so much, Mom and Lily. I don't feel at home if I have to stay here sir."
" Go back to your room, Prince! because your existence in disguise like this will endanger the people around you."
Although Robert had taken the ploy very quickly one of the prime ministers learned that one of the male servants had been presumptuous to sleep on the Prince's bed.
Next day..
All the people flocked to the torture field to witness the punishment given to the servant.
Prince Steven was deliberately included in the punishment so that he knew what the palace was.
" Prince Steven, what punishment would be appropriate for this sassy man ?"
Prince Steven was silent. And back to Robert last night.
' If tomorrow the servant you deliberately put to sleep in your bed is in the law, do not even defend him. Let the prime minister punish him for not being suspicious of you.'
" I'll pass the sentence on to you the prime minister of defense" Steven said as he walked away from the tragic spot.
The Prime Minister smiled cynically.
SERIATE...
