Queen Candidate
15

Zhia opened a bit of the curtain beside her and looked along the path she passed by so beautifully with all sorts of decorations.

"Are they very happy if I go from this kingdom to all the places in the ornaments so" said Zhia slowly. The expression was just a joke of his heart, rather than just silence he thought.

Another understanding for the man next to him was misinterpreting the girl's speech.

"The people of father-in-law must not be that bad until they have to be happy because of your departure, right!" king Bhian's exclaim attracted Zhia's attention who immediately looked at him.

Zhia sighed then looked out again.

"Why no one can understand me, even jokes get serious for people" Zhia said.

King Bhian heard that it was a head shake. Now I'm trying to understand all about you, although I only know a little, but it's enough to amaze you King Bhian muttered in his heart.

Not long after the horse carriage stopped in the hall of the city which had already gathered many people waiting for the arrival of the two. Soldiers instantly formed a cordon to open the way for their princess to the stage that had been provided.

King Bhian went down first and stretched out his hand to help Zhia get down from the horse ecreta. Of course Zhia accepted it because she had a little trouble moving around with the big, slightly long dress she wore.

Zhia hugged her fiance's arm while walking with a happy smile. Everyone present seemed to be fascinated by the arrival of their princess who had been hidden.

Now they can see it clearly hand in hand with the future husband. A little boy held out a strand of lily flowers at Zhia, with her condition sandwiched between the many people jostling to meet.

King Bhian's sharp eyes unintentionally saw it when the small body was pulled back by someone larger than him until the flower in his hand fell down and fell. King Bhian stopped his steps and approached the position where the little boy had been standing.

"Where was the little boy?" king Bhian asked with an intimidating look at the teenage boy who was pulling the child.

Afraid of seeing the dreadful gaze of King Bhian, the teenager did not reply as his body was already trembling.

"Why?" ask Zhia to come closer.

"Find a child wearing a knee-length red dress in this row to the back" Raja Bhian pointed at the section right in front of him.

Soldiers immediately moved to make a request for their future son-in-law of the King. People gave distance as the soldiers began to move in search, and it did not take long for the little boy in question to be found in a dirty state.

"God! what happened to her?" startled Zhia stretched out both her hands wanting to grab the small body.

"Don't you let us clean this little boy first, we'll change his clothes to make him more worthy" said the servant slowly grabbed the small body from the soldier and immediately took him.

Zhia looked annoyed with both of her hands that were at her waist.

"Make sure you treat her well" Zhia said with her cold voice that left people shocked.

It turns out that behind the beautiful face of their princess, there is also a fierce attitude that is no less creepy than the man who became her fiance is their inner.

King Bhian sighed for a moment when he glanced at the lily that had been carried by the little boy was destroyed. King Bhian embraced Zhia's waist and led her towards their place.

"Sorry Princess, Your Majesty the King, if the incident makes it uncomfortable" said an old man who was none other than the Governor in the city.

"Give the best dress for the little boy" said Zhia staring intently at the Governor who looked down in fear.

"Okay Princess, I will do it soon" he said and stayed away to give orders to his subordinates.

King Bhian and Zhia sat in the place they were prepared to be while they waited. Many officials from other regions were also present there, not far from seeking advance for popularity and rank. What else came this time the beloved of the King's family.

"Mr Princess needs something? we will provide it immediately" said another official.

"True, the Princess just has to say it" continued the others.

Zhia glanced at the woman she meant the man standing right beside her. Zhia sighed when she found the woman's eyes flirtatiously glancing at her future husband.

Not only that woman, but several other women who seemed like the son of officials and nobles there stared flirtatiously and begged King Bhian.

"My son can also accompany the Princess to talk"

"My son is very beautiful, kind and gentle, very compatible with the Princess"

Zhia let out a long breath with her eyeballs in a lazy swivel. The Zhia inner sycophants.

"I will indeed ask you for help" Zhia exclaimed making the officials smile, as well as their smiling child.

"Just say Princess, we will definitely obey him"

"Please get out of front of me now, you guys are ruining the scene" Zhia said firmly and sternly, not to forget also her sharp gaze.

Zhia was deeply troubled by what the officials were doing. This was the reason why Zhia disliked being involved in any royal gatherings and other important events. If Zhia was to be present, she would only last thirty minutes.

"Bring your children before their eyes move" growled Zhia glared intently and angrily at the women who were still silent before her with a gaze that did not turn away from King Bhian.

Hearing the utterances from their royal Princess, made those people instantly step aside as quickly as possible. Even the women were no less panicked when Zhia's bluff was also the deadly gaze.

Although the heart is furious but what can be done, their parents are nothing to the Princess. So it's better to back off than to lose all the luxuries they thought they were.

King Bhian kept hugging Zhia's shoulder to show that the girl was all he wanted. King Bhian did not want to interfere with the trivial problems they were facing as long as his future wife could still overcome, what else Zhia was not a weak girl who was easily bullied.

Enough was enough that King Bhian acted out of pity and did not have the heart with the child who was oppressed earlier. With his flat face, King Bhian was silent even as the female officials' children blatantly teased him through their gazes and smiles.

The event was already underway and not far away from inside the palace. The artists showed their best talents to welcome the newly met Princess.

The oppressed little boy had been brought to meet Zhia and King Bhian with better conditions. The clothes she wore made her look quite beautiful and adorable.

"Ugh funny thing" angrily Zhia hugged the little boy happily and smiled happily. King Bhian stroked the boy's head without a smile but his touch was gentle.

"Who's your name?" zhia asked after breaking their embrace.

"Kekei" said.

"Why are you getting dirty? where are your parents?"

"Father's mother was gone, Kekei was alone selling flowers, but the flowers had fallen" the little boy's face looked grim and sad.

"The other brother?" ask Zhia again.

Kekei just shook his head and then looked down.

"Why did you sell the flowers?"

"To buy food" Kekei said plainly.

"Kekei's eating?" again, Kekei shook his head weakly because indeed today he could not sell a single flower.

Zhia became curious about what happened to Kekei's life. And finally decided to take Kekei to the palace and would later ask his father for help to find out about Kekei and his family.
