Clattering his steps toward the foreign figure dressed in all black, he was jolted to find some guards at him. Not wanting to make a scene, he also spurred his horse away from the place. Dibendaknya already know the mastermind did not arrive wheat and gunpowder orders.
"Stop, who are you ?!"
As a result of being unable to digest the results of his vision, the horse ridden by a figure dressed in all black was overtaken.
"Stay away from me!" The firm word was characteristic even though his face was covered in a black veil. Her beautiful iris eyes are very easy to remember if you know her very well.
"Your Majesty the Queen." The eyes of the bodyguard Ta widened, that black-clothed figure was their queen. The whole bodyguard dropped himself in a respectful manner. "Protect the Queen !" His word returned after his superior soldier stood up.
"Don't say anything to the King."
"Okay, noble queen, so what are you sneaking out for at night?" Investigate Ta's bodyguard with a suspicious look.
"You suspect me?" An unusual cynical smile as if real is seen behind the black veil worn by the Queen.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean. We're on duty investigating tonight's delivery." Clearly Ta's bodyguards quickly. Something tucked in his heart was already suspicious. "My law, your honor." His embrace is full of regrets. Followed by his innate soldiers. If yesterday he was still in charge of the crown prince's bodyguard still relaxed, then now he is the king's bodyguard.
"I will punish you, so what you see tonight about me don't say anything ! This is order !"
"Okay, your honor."
"Two months of conspiracy, our kingdom didn't get a shipment of gunpowder. And also the neighboring kingdom does not get the shipment of grain from us. While the report on the trade book is there." Obviously Queen.
"This is what we are investigating, your honor, the justice minister is also looking for the root cause of this problem."
"You have seen there is trade minister Shu and also military minister An. They conspired, for gunpowder and also wheat. I smell the scent of rebellion, and at times they will attack the kingdom with their people. In the sense that they refused the coronation of the King, because they still hope the queen mother who holds the reins of government. That way they can make it a puppet and the throne will fall into the hands of one of them because it is still a relative of the queen mother."
The Queen's explanation opened the King's bodyguards' thoughts. Now the man understood why, the two men were strongly opposed to the crown prince's coronation.
"I understand the queen, we'd better go back to the palace. And tomorrow I make sure there's new news."
"All right."
The queen spurred her horse back, leaving only the dust. Once again the crown prince's bodyguards were amazed by the queen's intelligence.
...----------------...
Drizzle suddenly down, but the sky is not so cloudy, somehow the universe is murmuring. Not looking at yesterday. In his palace the king has found reports of the results of the investigation of his guards, minus the presence of the queen at that time.
The evil grin was drawn at the corner of the king's lips, in the cranium of his head it was written what he should do. For a long time, two of his ministers seemed suspicious, only he was unthinkable for a conspiracy.
"Evidence has been gathered."
"For our witnesses to present tomorrow, today their execution, search the residence." Tell the king while sipping flower tea in his glass. Suddenly longed to ambush his heart because he did not spend time with the queen at night. "Where is my Queen ?"
"The Queen's Majesty is in her palace. Today there are activities outside the palace, they will visit the markets."
"I'll go with him, prepare our disguises." A wide smile curled beautifully on the lips of the King, it felt impatient to spend time strolling outside in the palace. Buy something for the queen.
While Ta's bodyguards took his feet away from the king's palace, the handsome man full of charisma headed for the judiciary office. He delivered the king's mandate to search the residence of the minister of trade and also the military.
In accordance with what all wanted to go smoothly, now the judge and his people to the ministry who became preached. Armed with a letter a guard ordered the soldiers to search the two ministers' residence.
"So, why are you ransacking my residence?" Trade minister Shu tried to block the soldiers from entering.
"We have an official letter from the judiciary." A bodyguard showed it to the middle-aged man.
"Expiritual ! No need to search my residence, what suspicions do you meet up to be so presumptuous as this?"
"Take him to the courthouse, search this place by order of the king." A judge spoke out from behind his soldiers.
The rebellious trade minister Shu did not accept having his house ransacked, he also thrashed from the grasp of the soldiers who dragged him to the courthouse. Not only himself, this also applies to the military minister An.
Arriving at the court yard, trade minister Shu's eyes widened to see military minister An sitting on a chair that had been provided. They looked at each other as if they were speaking sign language.
Before long a swing of steps sounded approaching, all eyes leading to the gate waiting for the impending figure.
"His Majesty the king arrived."
The call gave orders to those present to welcome their king. Yes, he is a king coming with his loyal bodyguards. The man dropped his body on a chair that was directly opposite the crime suspect.
"Your Majesty." Say hello to the two ministers, their faces give a sense of pity if they see lines that begin to age.
"One week before my coronation, a letter came to this place from a neighboring kingdom. Complaining if they no longer get a supply of grain there, so does the armory section, reporting gunpowder does not reach this kingdom. As trade and military minister, you two must know about the matter."
"Honor your majesty, I work under the command of the queen mother, all this time we send her goods as promised." Trade minister Shu defended herself.
"Then the gunpowder we didn't receive, where did it run?" The question the king asked the military minister An
"Your highness, in the ledger it is recorded that the armory receives it. And where the goods are I really don't know."
King silent. Yes, it is true what the ministers said. They did record it in the ledger, then where was the item? Suddenly doubts began to infiltrate the King's heart.
