This morning Ray Su ordered his servant to call Maeli Su to his residence in order to listen to the complaints of his son, who he believed was heartbroken by the cancellation of his marriage agreement.
Ray Su worked in government and as such he traveled a lot to take care of the assigned things, while doing his duty he also made a trade that made him have to bring his wife La Xia to accompany and also help him.
Because of the prowess that La Xia possessed, the trade they did was very remarkable and it was what made the Su family residence as successful as it is today and included in one of the richest families in the capital, although it was still under the other three great families who had power, power even wealth was very abundant.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
The door that was knocked.
"Come in" said Ray Su.
"Good morning father handa, waiter father handa told me to immediately meet father handa, is there something that you want to convey" asked Maeli Su who had been sitting on the chair that was in front of her hand father.
Hearing the favorite child first speak at length to him, Ray Su was very happy because in the past do not want to talk, just to meet, just to meet, his daughter always refused for various reasons and somehow saw his daughter's current attitude he became convinced that his daughter must be fine even though her marriage bond had been canceled.
But she still wanted to hear straight from her own daughter's mouth what she was feeling, even if her daughter cannot accept the annulment of the marriage bond, she will try to use her wealth and power to keep the marriage going.
"Son, how are you? Do you still want to keep your marriage bond?" Ray Su asked worriedly because he did not want his son's tears to flow because of the question he had asked.
"Dad Handa calm down, I'm okay even I feel very happy now, because it has been separated from people who never considered me, because, maybe I used to be too young to be selfish to myself but for now I prefer to be loved rather than loved" replied Maeli Su with a happy smile.
Seeing the happy smile on his daughter's lips Ray Su was very relieved, because it did not happen like what he feared, he also smiled with his daughter while saying very sincerely "Blessed son, son, handa's father promises not to force you to marry anyone and you can choose the man you want to marry".
Hearing the hand's father's words immediately Maeli Su felt overwhelmed and then immediately he got up and immediately hugged his hand father while saying "thank you father handa, thank you very much your child will be happy, and also your child will try to make your father happy" without realizing his tears were dripping.
Ray Su also felt very happy because this is the first time he can touch his son, the son of the fruits of his love with his late wife who he loved so much, she also hugged her daughter affectionately and directly stroked her head.
After that they sat back down and Maeli Su asked her hand father to be given two bodyguards to guard her and her residence because she wanted to rest peacefully for the next week on the grounds of recovering her illness.
Ray Su who heard his son's request without taking a long time immediately agreed to it because he knew his son had been sick and unconscious for quite a long time, he got the news from his confidants.
After telling a long story, Maeli Su said goodbye to her handmaid's father to return to his residence. Along the way he is very happy because his relationship with his hand father has improved, in a moment he will have a very strong body and all the injuries on his face and body will be healed.
The next day two guards came to the residence of Maeli Su, seeing the bodyguard who came, Maeli Su felt very lucky because both of them were very talented people, even her father had told the two bodyguards to take an oath of loyalty to him.
"Truly a good father, this child of yours will definitely not disappoint you" Maeli Su said.
All the preparations he had made now he would start soaking to recover his strength, his body, and also his spiritual soul.
Three days had passed since Maeli Su locked herself in her residence, Consort Zia Le who knew about it immediately headed to her daughter Lira Su's room.
"Son, mother wants to tell you something" said Consort Zia Le with a happy face, she was happy because she thought that Maeli Su was very badly hit by the cancellation of her marriage bond.
"What do you want to say to me" Lira Su replied with her curious face.
"Do you know son, the trash in this family has locked himself away for three days, I think he did it because he was very shocked by the annulment of his marriage to the crown prince" concubine Zia Le.
Hearing that Lira Su smiled very happily and in a haughty tone she said "Mum there's no way that trash can beat this graceful princess of yours, especially if people found out that his face was broken, surely no one would dare to be with him".
" You are right, son, now I hope you focus on the emperor's birthday, which will be held in six weeks, show them how beautiful and graceful this mother's child is, for the crown prince to like you even more" concubine Zia Le said expectantly to her daughter.
Lira Su who heard her mother's words immediately nodded her head as she said "What you say is true, I should be able to be the center of attention on the show, moreover, I am a future empress candidate in this range".
"Mother I almost forgot tomorrow the crown prince will come with a dowry for me as a sign of bondage between me and her" Lira Su said proudly.
Consort Zia Le who heard this was very happy, because with the delivery of part of the dowry, it proved that soon her daughter would marry the crown prince.
Partial dowry is very important in this empire, if a man has given a dowry to a woman then the two are already tied to each other and can not decide the marriage.
Unlike Maeli Su although she has had a marriage bond with the crown prince since childhood, but she has not received part of her dowry so that the annulment of the marriage is still allowed.
After finishing talking with her son, concubine Zia Le decided to return to her residence and along the way she felt very happy and satisfied with the good things that happened to her son.
Elsewhere in the hostess' residence, Concubine Aria and her son Eli Su had just come to visit, incidentally at that time Bryn Su was also at the residence of the hostess (mother of Bryn Su) and they were talking about gossip about his eldest brother circulating.
