Queen Rushi
Chapter 135 Deduction
Palaces
The Great Queen's health has improved as before. However, the palace was not like it used to be. Normally King Raion and Prince Rodigero would visit every day, but now the two men only came occasionally to the Great Queen's residence.
Princess Rukaia took the opportunity to make the most of the time. While King Raion or Prince Rodigero rarely came to the Great Queen's residence, he had plenty of time to incite the King's mother.
‘’Pardon me if I sassy the Grand Queen. We all know that the palace recently grieved. Everyone must still be sad about losing Queen Rushi. Brother's death must have shaken His Majesty the King. So in my opinion, it's good if there is someone who is beside him,’’ said Putri Rukaia.
‘’What do you mean?’’ ask the Grand Queen.
‘’Your Majesty the King is very lonely so definitely need a new companion who can treat his injuries. That way, His Majesty the King can again lead this kingdom as before,’’ said Princess Rukaia.
The Great Queen was silent for a moment, then looked at the woman for understanding her intent. ‘’So according to Princess Rukaia, you want Her Majesty to marry again?’’
Princess Rukaia only smiled while looking down. ‘’That's just my opinion Great Queen. I can't bear to see His Majesty the King dissolves in continuous grief.’’
‘’You are right too. Previously, Princess Rukaia had been a new fiance if only Queen Rushi did not return to the palace. I will talk about it with His Majesty the King to continue your engagement,’’ the Great Queen said.
Yep. That's what I want. The sooner the better, so that I can occupy the throne of the Queen position, Princess Rukaia said in her heart.

The Backyard of the Palace
Eris and the others gathered as usual if they had free time. They were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Queen Rushi.
‘’It was only fitting that day, the Great Queen directly returned to the palace,’’ Riaz said.
‘’When I heard the announcement that day, I felt like I had a bad dream,’’ Zena said.
Aruse calmly plucked the lute as usual. ‘’But is this not strange?’’
‘’What do you mean?’’ ask Eris.
‘’Your Majesty once gave a kick to Riaz and Zena as a lesson. Then beat Nero until his lips bled. It is very strange that a martial arts man like His Majesty could be touched let alone killed,’’ Aruse said.
Next to Eris's eyebrows raised. ‘’Why did you think His Majesty was killed?’’
Aruse stood up while playing his soy sauce. ‘’Try to think carefully. Why is His Majesty soaking in the water during the winter like this? But what if what happened was like this. Someone called His Majesty to a quiet place, then pushed him into the water. Wouldn't that make more sense?’’
The four people there who were with him frowned while thinking about his words earlier.
‘’You mean someone took the opportunity to kill His Majesty in a quiet place?’’ guess Nero.
‘’Not taking a chance, but putting together a murder hidden behind everyone. If remembered once again, all those who took part in the holiday liked His Majesty, except two people,’’ Aruse said.
Nero and Eris came to their senses as well as Riaz and Zena after hearing Aruse's last sentence. They looked at each other with faces of disbelief.
‘’For people who do not like the existence of His Majesty, they should be guilty,’’ said Aruse plucked the strings of his soy sauce.
His face immediately crumpled. ‘’You better shut your mouth and act as if you do not know something if you still want to live in this world.’’
Without them noticing, someone eavesdropped on the conversation before finally leaving.
