The Changing - The Lost Story
Three friends
“Ya Mulia High King from the Kingdom of Stansia has arrived at the gate of the Palace,” shouted a eunuch while ringing Gong omen all ready to gather at the Palace.
The entire kingdom that was busy being visited by guests while chatting Karen waited for the High King Stansia and the group to arrive at the Palace.
Everything flocked to stand in the welcome of Stansia without exception.
“Hail High King Stansia,” Greet everyone when High King and High Queen have just set foot in the courtyard of the Palace which is very Magnificent typical of Roman culture.
Buildings with classical but luxurious architecture with the decoration of several war god statues around the palace garden.
The garden is overgrown by various plants and neatly designed to form a unique arrangement.
To the south there is a fountain surrounded by pigeons playing there.
The atmosphere is quite elegant, elegant and cool. The temperature of the Central region of Rome is not too extreme as the Equator.
“Welcome High King and HIG Queen Stansia,” greet Caesar followed by Bacillius behind him who took off to shake hands politely.
Mario who had been watching closely the guests who came, somehow he felt familiar with the face but if thought impossible as well, anyway Mario here just stray where maybe they have met and face to face before.
“Greetings Yes Noble High King and High Queen Stansia, welcome to the Kingdom of Rome may you be comfortable during your stay here” said Bacillius while smiling very friendly with a warm expression that can not be separated from his face.
“Greetings Back Yes Your Highness Caesar and Prince, nice to meet you all. Sorry if our arrival might be a little sudden,” said High King returned a handshake and also greetings Bacillius and Caesar.
“Wahh .. is this prince of Bacillius? It's just that you turned out to be a prince!” chirps High Queen with a friendly face typical of a queen.
“Iya Yes Noble High Queen, I am Prince Bacillius of the kingdom of Rome,” reply Baciliius smiled proudly introducing himself.
“It turns out that it has been a long time ago well Queen we did not visit here, look even the last time we came here Consort Karina still contains her daughter and you are also only 4 years old well!” said High King who deliberately said the word ‘selir’ with a little emphasis.
The atmosphere around was tense and cooling, the entire palace suddenly went silent to hear the unexpected words of the Stansian King.
At least, some of the ladies and senior soldiers know for sure who the guests who are now visiting the Kingdom of Rome.
In the past when the Empress was still alive, even the Queen and King Stansia was a mandatory guest every month even not infrequently the Empress who came there.
“Iya also well King, tau-tau fitting visit here Prince Bacilliusa has grown up,” continued Qieen again.
“Hhmm .. Please enter first High Queen, High King,” Caesar said breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“Hei Boy, don't you want to say hello to your Mother's sister?” asked Queen when she saw Mario who was glued to the door that seemed to be still thinking.
“Mother's Sister? Is it possible that this woman is the sister of the former Empress? That means Commodus' aunt? Is it possible that?
“Greetings Yes Mulia High Queen and High Queen Stansia,” say hello Mario bow respectfully to the two middle-aged people.
I don't know, the salute that He just did was spontaneous and He didn't know why He had to bow and salute, while the others just nodded and shook hands.
“You're Commodus right?” asked Queen with a big smile.
“You are already big and mature as it turns out,” said Queen could not hold back her harbour because the last time she met Commodus when the man was 5 years old was more precisely a month before the death of the Permisuri.
On the day of the Empress's death, even Queen could not find Commodus anywhere, Caesar only said that Commodus was going to play with his best friend, Prince Marius of the Kingdom next door.
Queen only understood at that time because He thought that if Commodus knew that his Mother had left him for ever He would have been very hurt, so to keep the man mentally bovah, he said, Queen chose to believe and let it go.
But a few days later, Queen who began to suspect why the Crown Prince did not return to the Palace finally sent his people to pick up his nephew in the neighboring Kingdom.
It was there that Queen began to suspect and realized that Caesar had lied about the Crown Prince's whereabouts.
The Crown Prince disappeared from the day of his Mother's Cmetian, the enraged Queen asked her husband to decide on all assistance and cooperation between Stansia and Rome.
Queen tells her best men to find out the whereabouts of the crown prince, until the more angry Queen when she finds out her favorite nephew was discarded, tortured and exiled to the Wild Forest at his age who was even very young.
Rothesay, the Master of Commodus is actually the messenger and confidant of Queen who is in charge of taking care of Commodus well while in the Wild Forest.
When first heard from Rothesay who said that little Commodus was sick and seriously injured with a very pleasant condition in the middle of the forest, make Queen send the best Galenos in Stansia to treat the little Commodus and treat him to recovery.
Not enough to get there, even Queen is also a pioneer of the secret force that was actually prepared by her cousin aka Peramaisuri earlier to keep her son only before he died.
It's just that, at the time of the incident they had not operated and carried out a guarding mission against the small Commodus because they were still in the training stage.
Moreover, the events and news of the death of the previous Empress were too sudden that they did not expect the inhumane incident had been experienced by the Son only their visiting puppet that they should protect.
“Iya Yes Start High Queen, your nephew is already growing up,” replied Mario just because he was also confused about what to answer like.
Moreover, in the novel there is also no explanation about the Kingdom of Stansia.
It can even be said that the Novel Path only highlights the life and dark times of Commodus.
Starting from his depraved behavior, his failure, his disgrace to all behavior that seemed to exceed the limit was there.
Even Mario was very smitten, when some facts began to be revealed about the life of Commodus, it was quite unexpected.
“Do not hesitate to call me son, you used to call me ‘Mother Nana’.” Queen hugged her husband's arm tightly, tears could not stand it anymore.
Remembering the times when he often visited Rome with his Son Galee who was a friend of Commodus as well as Marius.
They were 3 friends once, never separated and also very close to each other.
The lifespan of the three of them was also almost the same, only a few months different.
Marius, Commodus and Galee are extremely disobedient and clutter with their absurd and coyol behavior.
But everything changed after Commodus disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.
