ROYALTY: The Lord of the Glorious Water Element
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: FACING QUEEN ANDORA

Finished dinner, the palace family one by one began to leave the palace dining room. Until finally only leaving Prince Henry and Roni who are still chatting in the room. Prince Henry was calming Roni who had seemed restless since then.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Prince Henry said softly as his palm stroked Roni's shoulder.

"I feel so guilty, I shouldn't have eaten with the royal family, I've made a mess" Roni said, looking down. His mind could not escape the little chaos in the dining room earlier because he accidentally choked on food. For him it was a very embarrassing thing, moreover he gathered with a palace family that was highly respected by the people. He should be able to be a little polite.

"Who said you made a mess? Nothing, is it? Choking on food is natural, Roni. My family's been through the same thing while eating." Henry advised Roni with a soft word.

"But still it's embarrassing" replied Roni.

"You're like a child. Yeah, you're not a teenager. Never mind, you don't think about it. Come with me out of this room!" Prince Henry then stepped away and deliberately left Roni. It seemed that Roni had no reaction whatsoever, he remained seated in his place while looking down.

As Henry arrived before the door of the palace's dining hall, the young man said in a loud voice, "The palace's dining room will soon be closed! Get out quick or you'll be locked inside!"

Henry's shout made Roni aware of his daydream, then the teenager immediately approached Henry who had left him outdoors. Some servants who were busy cleaning the dining table, could only shake their heads when they saw Roni's behavior.

"You left me on purpose!" Roni protested against Henry.

"Yes, if you don't, you won't come out" Henry replied and walked back. "After this you must meet Queen Andora's mother. He asked you to come to his room. I'll show you where Queen Andora's room is." Prince Henry continued without looking at the other person. He continued to walk, passing the path leading to the palace hallway, and Roni faithfully followed behind him.

On the right and left side of the path they pass there are beautiful ornamental flower plants and blooming. Several garden lights seemed to illuminate every road through which Henry and Roni traveled.

Roni walked quickly to Henry. "I was very afraid to meet Queen Andora. Can I-."

Henry suddenly interrupted Roni's remark, "No rejection! You need to see Queen Andora's mother."

Roni can only step down. "All right."

Prince Henny and Roni are now passing through the palace hallway. The long and magnificent hallway of the palace is decorated with artistic carvings on the marble walls, while luxurious chandeliers illuminate every corner of the palace hallway. The sound of their footsteps resounded along the passageway, creating an aura of splendor that filled the air.

Set them in front of Queen Andora's magnificent and large work space. The door in front of the room looks luxurious with intricate carvings that give the impression of beautiful and expensive.

Prince Henry knocked on the door in front of him in a polite manner as he said, "Let us enter your room, Queen Mother.'"

It sounded like a voice from inside the room, "Come in, the door is open for you."

Suddenly the door of Queen Andora's study room opened by itself, making Roni surprised, except for Prince Henry.

"Open yourself, it's magical" said Roni softly.

"Let's go in, Queen Andora's mother is waiting." Henry escorts Roni into Queen Andora's room. It was not a throne room but the office of Queen Andora.

The workspace in the palace serves as the place where Queen Andora handles official government duties. There, Queen Andora can lead meetings, make political decisions, sign important documents, and communicate with royal officials.

After Henry and Roni entered the room, Roni's gaze immediately turned into awe. The teenager looked around the room. Queen Andora's workspace exudes luxury with a blend of gold and light blue. In the corner of the room, the elegant writing table is clearly emblazoned, decorated with silver ornaments and fine carvings. Silk curtains towered high in large windows, letting moonlight shine through the room filled with historic books. The fragrance of jasmine flowers enveloped the air, creating an environment filled with elegance.

"Alright Prince Henry, you can leave the room. Leave the boy in this room." Queen Andora spoke out firmly.

"Good Queen Mother." Prince Henry nodded and slightly bowed to pay his respects to Queen Andora, then the young man stepped out of the room.

Roni panicked when she saw that Henry had already exited the room along with the door of the room that slowly closed by itself. Now Roni is completely abandoned by Henry and confronts the ruler of the Kingdom of Andora.

"Sit in front of me." Queen Andorra ordered Roni to sit down immediately.

Roni was very afraid of trembling bodies. A cold sweat the size of a corn seed began to drip past his forehead and forehead. He was confused and did not know how to behave in front of a leader, considering this was his first experience dealing with a queen from the kingdom.

Queen Andora understood Roni's attitude. Then the woman spoke more gently, "Don't feel anxious, son. I'm not here to scare. I just want to talk to you." The soft voice of Queen Andora created a calmer atmosphere, yet Roni still felt a tension within her.

Roni tried to control her tension. He then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. With a more restrained breath, Roni replied respectfully, "Thank you, Her Majesty Queen Andora. I try my best."

Queen Andora smiled understandingly, "It's good, son. Comeoverhere. There's something I want to talk about, it has to do with you."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Roni slightly bowed in honor of Queen Andora, then the teenage boy stepped closer to Queen Andora who was sitting on her seat of greatness. Then Roni knelt before Queen Andora and once again gave a salute.

Queen Andora said in a soft voice, "Son, I want to hear your story. Tell me who you are, where you came from, your journey, your dreams, and what made you the person who stands before me right now."

Roni nodded respectfully, starting to tell her life story in detail to Queen Andora. As his words flowed, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly familiar.

Prince Henry is with his brother, Prince William. Both of them are now in the beautiful and refreshing palace garden. Andora Palace Park is full of beauty, decorated with a variety of colors of flowers, dancing fountains, and walkways such as arranged from stone with a smooth surface. Shady trees create a shady atmosphere, while art sculptures complement the grandeur of the palace garden. A serene and peaceful atmosphere fills the air, creating the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

"I understand Prince Henry, the boy you brought to the palace has extraordinary magical abilities. It's a pity if his abilities aren't trained as well as they can." Prince William smiled, staring at the large fountain located in the middle of the garden, right in front of the garden chair he was now sitting in with his sister.

"That's why, I brought him to the palace. If the boy had no magic ability, I would have taken him home" replied Prince Henry.

"Where did the boy named Royalty come from?" ask Prince William.

"He's from Eldoria City. I found him stranded on the riverbank, in the easternmost Andoran region. I helped him out of a herd of monkeys." Prince Henry explained clearly.

"The Eldoria region." Prince William hanged his words. He thought for a moment then continued, "But why is the child not of the people of Eldoria. All I know is that none of the people of Eldoria have blue hair."

"Do you not know the other side of the boy, Prince William?" prince Henry said.

"What do you mean, Prince Henry?" Prince William is confused.

"Actually what you see is not the real boy. It was a spirit figure that followed him wherever the boy went" Prince Henry explained.

Prince William absorbed the information he had just heard. "So, does this mean that the spirit gave the child magic?"

Prince Henry nodded, "Yes, he has a strong bond with his guardian spirit. Her magic ability is a gift from the spirit itself.

Prince William looked out at the beautiful garden. "We should involve him in the magic training in the palace. Royalty can be a tremendous asset to the Andoran Kingdom, provided we can understand more deeply about its relationship with that spirit."

Prince Henry agrees, "Right, Prince William. We must guide him wisely and ensure that the presence of the Royalty brings not only blessing, but also security to the kingdom of Andora."
