Queen Rushi
Chapter 91 Pizza
Tora glared as she stared wide at the incident when Queen Rushi gave a lesson to the group of peacocks. Although he was not the one who experienced it, he grimaced knowing how painful the fur was being plucked, to the point of imagining himself in their position.
King Raion who saw it also understood the reason the woman had so long returned to the room.
Queen Rushi is not this kind of woman. After the seclusion, he became quite different. Come to think of it, all this time I never paid him any attention. Is that why he changed? Your Majesty, he said in his heart.

Palace Hall
Queen Rushi and the others stared at the group of people crying in front of her. The half peacock men received a severe punishment, and promised never to repeat it again.
Just imagine how the four men of his followers had enjoyed plucking their feathers in pain. ‘’This is the real definition of a happy situation on top of the suffering of others.’’
‘’Your Highness is so great to make a show to reply to them,’’ Shika said shaking her head.
Smile on the lips of Queen Rushi. ‘’It was hereditary from my uncle who was an expert on theatrics.’’
He ordered the soldiers to take the group away. Then invite all his followers to enjoy his homemade dishes.
The dish made this time is Pizza, which is a savory dish of Italian origin a kind of round and flat dough, baked with tomato sauce and cheese with cuts of meat, sausage, baked mushrooms, and, and chewy oysters on top of it as a topping.
As always, the followers of Queen Rushi enjoy a new dish that always surprises them.
Huhuhuh? If the people of the palace see it, they will be punished for being disrespectful, Kujaku said in his heart.
Next to Shika's eyebrows raised. He nudged me and told the man not to get too tense. This was common for them, because Queen Rushi was very friendly. Once again I was made wide open, until Mozaru gave him a slice of pizza earlier.
‘’Do not hesitate. Your Majesty has helped you. That means you're part of us,’’ Mozaru said.
‘’Are you tense for seeing us like this with Your Majesty?’’ ask Usagi.
I nodded who was still holding a slice of pizza. ‘’How about we get punished for being rude to His Majesty?’’
Shika patted Kujaku's back making the man slightly flung forward. ‘’Eii, you're too stiff. You're not the first person to be treated like this. Previously, all the men here also had their own stories. Your Majesty come and help us, so that we can start a new life better.’’
Yagyu confirmed while telling his story that became the first person approached by Queen Rushi. Then continue the story of Shika, Usagi, Mozaru and Kitsune.
‘’Your Highness is very kind, so all his followers here respect him,’’ Kitsune said.
‘’Ehem! You guys praise me too much,’’ said Ratu Rushi throw face.
‘’Woah! I've never eaten a broken dishcake so good!” happy Shika.
‘’Why do you call it that? Although the shape is like a plate,’’ said Hana.
‘’See its plate-like round shape, then cut into pieces as if the plate broke,’’ Shika said.
Queen Rushi and the others just shook their heads because they never knew what the half-deer man was thinking.
‘’Kitsune, you should have been to the palace more often like this,’’ Yagyu said.
‘’I have to help others to take care of the restaurant. But, I'm getting used to coming since we made the statue,’’ Kitsune said.
‘’Haa, don't remind me of that creepy event again,’’ Shika said.
I'm the only one who's been listening since I asked them what they mean. Hana and the five men there spontaneously looked at Queen Rushi with depressed faces.
‘’Your Majesty has given eternal darkness to all of us. We are like reborn, and lucky that you did not participate to feel that enlightenment.’’
Queen Rushi just giggled softly, while Kujaku put on a confused face.
‘’The sculpture was supposed to be done by 50 people for almost 2 months. But since the Great Queen's birthday is not too long away, I had the six of them finish it in 7 days.’’
Hearing that made Kujaku smile with a stiff face as if blood was coming out of the corner of his lips.
Now I understand the eternal darkness and enlightenment they were referring to, he said in his heart.
