the night passed just like that, Mr. Han still locked himself up and refused to eat even though Aqila herself brought it.
the next morning the Han residence was shocked by the arrival of the king's envoy Jiang nan who asked Aqila to come to the palace.
"salam Kasim lu"
mr. Han said kindly as soon as the group arrived in front of the residence, then he allowed the group to go inside.
"greetings Minister Han"
Eunuch nan also gave a greeting, without feeling any hesitation he stepped in with the others.
as soon as they arrived at the main room Eunuch lu immediately explained the intent of his arrival.
"i came here to hand over the marriage decree and invite Miss Han Aqila to come to the palace according to the orders of the noble king Jiang nan"
said Kasim lu while handing over a golden-colored scroll written directly by king Jiang nan
"thank you and tell your highness my daughter is coming"
master Han had expected this, but he did not expect the king to do it sooner than expected.
"it's fine if I say I resigned"
Eunuch lu got up from his seat before leaving he said goodbye first.
"why the latest rush I have told the waiters to prepare a welcoming dish, stop for a moment"
said Mr. Han asking your Eunuch to stay longer.
"apologise my minister can't stay here too long because his majesty the king needs me"
Eunuch lu rejected the offer subtly so as not to offend the homeowner.
"it doesn't matter if we can do it next time"
"then it's the same with Minister Han"
"alright then I won't hold you back again your eunuch"
after saying that, Mr. Han led the group to the gate of the residence.
once they were out of sight, master Han went straight in then went to meet the aqila in his pavilion.
....
at the lavender residence, the girl had heard the news of the arrival of the palace troupe but she was reluctant to meet them so that since morning she had been silent in the room.
tok tok tok tok
the sound of the room door being knocked by someone, Aqila got up from her seat and opened the door.
"come in father"
when he found out who came Aqila immediately allowed the person to enter his room.
master Han stepped in and sat down at the usual place Aqila was staying with Lila and Lin Shan.
"what's dad"
aqila asked as she served tea to master Han as well as herself
"you must've heard the news this morning, haven't you"
replied master Han while sipping the tea that Aqila had given him
"hm"
the girl simply replied with a little deheman, she looked at her father with a flat expression.
"are you going"
"no"
"why"
master Han was confused as to why Aqila did not want to go to the palace, if it was another girl perhaps they would be very excited.
Aqila answered the Acuh question of her father she had no particular reason to like the place.
"you can't be like that my daughter, we live in her territory so we have to respect her every decision"
mr. Han gave subtle advice so that his daughter understood and did not be stubborn.
"then we move on"
Aqila replied that she did not like her father's thoughts.
"it can't be Aqila, too many memories you can't leave behind"
reject master Han he cannot leave his birthplace and the place where he first met meilin.
"what if I make this kingdom mine"
Aqila said it with great seriousness
"hus, what are you saying don't talk carelessly"
master Han was surprised by Aqila's remark he did not expect his daughter to say that so blatantly.
"dadn't believe I could do it"
Aqila looked at the father with a look that no one could read.
"of course because it's not an easy thing, you don't even have the strength to do it so just bury your ambition - I don't want you to get hurt"
mr. Han did not believe Aqila's words, he did not know that his daughter was not the weak girl she used to be who could be beaten at will by others.
"so dad wants me to go to the palace"
Aqila asked again to confirm the purpose of the father coming here.
"right"
"well, I'll go"
Aqila relented, but she had her own purpose as to why she wanted to come to the palace
"smart boy, then father will go first, do not make the king's majesty wait too long"
"hm"
aqila replied with a small deheman, then escorted the father up to the pavilion gate.
actually Aqila was very lazy to go to the palace but if the father asked for it he could not refuse anymore.
....
while in the palace, Jiang mo felt impatient to meet with aqila, the beauty of the girl he could not forget just like that, he promised himself no matter how much the aqila should be his.
the young man was so obsessed not only with the beauty of aqila but he also had another purpose by marrying aqila that he would have the support of master Han and it was a good thing to strengthen his position within ascending throne.
Lin Lin who heard the news raged the girl did not accept if Aqila who was the empress and not herself she had already been troubled to this extent how could the girl would let this marriage happen so just.
back on the aqila the girl was on her way up her beloved dark horse accompanied by Lila and Lin Shan.
after an hour's journey the three of them finally reached the palace gate.
the soldiers who had been told before did not dare to stop the girl's entourage anymore.
as soon as the three entered directly to the main hall in between by one of the knights in charge of picking up aqila.
Aqila did not protest anything she knew that this was a mere charade to attract her attention to becoming a member of the kingdom.
king Jiang nan's main goal was to entice the father into a stronghold with him - the man was aiming for the biggest gold mine that master Han had that was outside the Cang'an Kingdom Territory.
how does aqila know about all this because he is an eye eyes sensitivity in analyzing the situation is never wrong.
coupled with Lin Shan's whereabouts made the girl able to easily get all the information she needed.
the veiled intent was so perfect but unfortunately Aqila would not let it go so well.
