My Husband is a King
Hydroponics
"I believe the Arshville farmers understand this technique better than I do" Eliana said humbly.
"But .. without your idea, miss, maybe we wouldn't have thought of making hydroponic land in the yard," timpal was one of the residents who was collecting charcoal pieces at the home of Mr. Edmund.
"That .. is nothing. I want to learn hydroponics from you, too" Eliana said.
The woman approached the mothers who were putting the charcoal on bamboo that was made crosswise and has been hollowed.
"Ah, Miss, don't bother. Later the hand of the lady became black. We don't want Miss to be scolded by His Majesty the King" said one worried resident.
The mothers reflex took Eliana's hand and cleaned it.
Eliana knitted her eyebrows when she saw how the mother treated her. Why did I become like a child who was caught playing dirty by his parents?
"No need, Mom. Her Majesty instead told me to help all of you, so I am very happy to be involved here," replied Eliana then the girl pulled back her already clean hands.
"Then, I won't hold charcoal. But I'm authorized to create another hydroponic medium" added the future queen.
"Using what other media, Your Grace? We have no other medium besides charcoal. There is no rice husk because we have never planted rice, there is no corn because there are no palm trees, there is also no coconut coir because all coconuts are not sold cheap here," said the other residents while sad.
Eliana rubbed the mother's shoulder. "It's okay, there is no need to use planting media that does not exist. We just need bottles, water, liquid fertilizer, stones and .. used clothes." Eliana's reply left all the citizens astonished.
"That old shirt, what's it for, miss?" A citizen asked.
"The used clothes will be used as a tool to help plants absorb nutrients. So that we do not need a lot of media, the stone here is useful just to keep the roots strong and the tree can stand." Eliana explained to the residents while carrying a bottle.
Soon enough, the materials Eliana requested had been collected. Then the woman invited some residents to move to other places to complete their work in accordance with Eliana's direction.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious car of the king's majesty.
"What's Eliana doing there, Antony? Why so long?" the king asked while looking out the window and still saw Eliana holding the charcoal.
"Why is he holding charcoal too?" protest the king from the car.
"Leave it, Your Majesty. Maybe it's fun for Miss Eliana" Antony said from the front seat.
The king exhaled, then lowered the window to hear what Eliana was talking about out there.
"Ah, Miss, don't bother. Later the hand of the lady became black. We don't want Miss to be scolded by Her Majesty the King." The voice of a mother warns Eliana.
"No need, Mom. His Majesty instead told me to help you all, I'm so happy to be involved here." Eliana's reply left the king stunned.
"Since when did I tell him to do so," said the king grumbling from inside the car.
