Bugh!
King Raion sat on the throne and looked at Queen Rushi who was dragged in front of him. The Great Queen, Siruverash, the higher-ups, everyone had gathered to judge the woman who had committed the crime.
Queen Rushi was in a state filled with bloodstains just staring at all those people with a stifled face.
‘’This woman can still show her haughty face, even after she committed a big crime,’’ said Siruverash.
Not long after, came one of the servants to report. The servant said that all the followers of Queen Rushi had fled, making them even more convinced that the Queen was indeed planning this.
‘’Wah, what is this? Looks like your loyal followers already knew this would happen. Rather than deal with the palace, they chose to leave the Queen who had been branded a traitor. But, they will still be arrested and punished for being part of you,’’ said Siruverash.
Not wanting to waste a lot of time, the Great Queen immediately handed the death sentence to Queen Rushi. However, it was stopped by King Raion, leading everyone to urge that the Queen be sentenced to death.
‘’Yang Mulia? His crimes cannot be forgiven anymore. Even if this woman cleansed herself in seven rivers, her sin would not be erased. After killing Prince Rodigero, he didn't deserve to live!’’ said one of the officers.
‘’This is me the King! The one who can pass him the punishment is only me a!’’ exclaim King Raion.
Siruverash put on a matted face as well as Princess Rukaia. Looks like the King won't give the death penalty to Queen Rushi.
With a stifled and crimson face, King Raion looked at the woman who was previously his wife. The veins on his neck stiffened just from taking a breath. ‘’His crimes cannot be forgiven anymore. But, if we give him the death penalty, then this woman only feels the agony once.’’
Princess Rukaia furrowed her brows seeing King Raion and Queen Rushi looking at each other.
‘’I told you we were both framed. But you all doubt me. By pushing Prince Rodigero into the river, I'm just doing what you think of me. Although I would not do it,’’ said Ratu Rushi.
King Raion immediately put on a disheveled face. ‘’For Ansa, we all could not honor Prince Rodigero's funeral properly.’’
He also clenched his hands while squinting his eyes. ‘’Open this woman. Make sure he's not seen in Aslan Country. If anyone sees it in this country .. Then finish them both right then!’’
‘’But Your Excellency?’’ the Great Queen's Protest.
‘’As a wise Grand Queen, your duty is to support the King's decision, not to refute it,’’ said King Raion silencing his mother.
Next to Siruverash's eyebrows raised. Although Queen Rushi did not receive the death penalty, but the exile of the woman who required her to leave the Land of Aslan was not bad either, but it was getting better for her.
Queen Rushi who was prostrating on the floor immediately clenched her hands. ‘’I received a punishment of exile. But I can assure you, you will regret taking this decision by trusting the real traitor.’’
‘’This woman has already committed a crime but still accuses others!’’ reprimand the higher-ups.
Heavily, King Raion ordered the soldiers to drag Queen Rushi away. He also ordered them to search for the women's followers in the country.
Before the door of the room closed, Queen Rushi had turned to look at the King with a disappointed face. King Raion put on a sad face.
Your Majesty, said the two compact in heart.
