The news of the Crown Prince's coronation as King has spread to several cities. The empress' search for her had also reached the ears of the Kings. Their hearts moved to include the princesses of the nobility or the crown princess to take part in the election as empress candidates.
Not just any select, the queen's criteria must be determined by the Queen Mother. Because, one day will be the Queen in the kingdom and will give birth to a royal dynasty that is qualified from its weight.
Three days later, the candidate has not been found. The princesses who came home brought disappointment. However, who would dare to file a protest because it was the initial condition. To participate in the election as empress must be breastfed if not elected.
Until now all participants were very curious about the figure of the crown prince. But unfortunately, curious is only stored in each heart because it does not have the opportunity to meet face to face.
"How does the search for the Queen Mother, what brings results ? Was the empress candidate found ?" The crown prince's heavy voice contained ridicule and also dislike. His face was filled with anger.
"Not yet prince. But Her Majesty the Queen Mother will continue to look for a companion for you."
"What does she expect from this empress' search?" One gulp of wine slid smoothly down the crown prince's throat. Without expression he swallowed it. The rice-based drink has become an opium for him with a high alcohol content.
"Mother Suri hopes that whoever becomes empress will be able to accompany you." The Ta Guards replied as is. This man has always been faithful to be by the crown prince's side wherever he is.
"I'm disappointed, instead of looking for the cause of the King's death. The Queen Mother was busy about the throne." The crown prince's ignorance makes him always think badly of the Queen Mother.
"Prince, it's time you learned to paint."
"Do you know why the king was slaughtered in his own palace ?" Curious it was again mastering the lump of tender flesh inside the crown prince's body. To ignore the words of his bodyguard.
"Prince, I don't know much. But from a little bit of information I know. At that time the neighboring kingdom carried out a silent attack and was carried out by a large group of rebels from the kingdom. Because, their King wants to make peace and release the southern part of the territory that is the kingdom's territory. However, until now there has been no real problem."
"Did the Queen Mother finish the matter ? Have the spirits of the King and Queen calmed down ? I saw them kill Dad in plain sight. At that time Mom smothered my mouth so as not to make a sound, I could only be silent can't do anything." A million regretted the helplessness of the crown prince so markedly implied from his bead of eyes. A weakly gallant body rested on both knees, those terrifying memories flashed back.
"Prince, my advice. You learn harder to solve this problem."
The night is getting late, the crown prince who is still young and also wants to have fun - poya does not heed the advice of his bodyguard. The crown prince mingled with another noble son facing the gambling table. In disguise no one recognized who he was, laughter enlivened the room. The dim lights did not make the spirit of the sons of nobles shrink to throw pieces of money.
"Prince, it's time to return." The Ta Guards whispered softly.
The crown prince glanced in all directions ascertaining the surrounding situation. Some of the noble sons were already lying on the table, the wine they drank was already controlling their self-awareness. Only a few people remained including the crown prince himself.
"Let's go back." The crown prince pulled the body to rise from where he was sitting. His body staggered as it consumed more wine.
After cleaning the crown prince's body, Ta's bodyguard sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes stared fixedly at the face in the dream. They grow up together in the same neighborhood, love their grief through together, the presence of Ta's bodyguard at the crown prince's side becomes his only friend. Deep down inside Ta's bodyguards, a crown prince was not only the king's successor to be served, but like a younger brother to him. Which he must protect.
...----------------...
The palace hall was filled with ministers, the discussion about the crown prince's coronation as king is still discussed, not only about the throne but also the future empress. The failure to choose a candidate the other day did not make the determination of the queen mother fade.
As a contest for the crown prince came, though every day there were emissaries from other kingdoms. But it has not met the criteria sought by a Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, a messenger will be facing you."
The old body of Suri's mother straightened up sitting with a long sigh while gesturing to let the messenger into the hall.
Two bodyguards opened the big and wide door, a messenger swung his legs respectfully and also courteously, his sturdy body showing no trepidation or nervousness.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I come to you with a letter from King Re." The man straightened his hands with the position of the body resting on both knees.
A bodyguard took the letter and gave it to the Queen Mother. The middle-aged woman immediately greeted the letter, her neutrals carefully unrolling and reading the purpose of the letter.
"Is your king sure of this offer?" The Queen Mother grinned. "You know the consequences, don't you ?"
"Our king is very guilty of the events of the past few years that befell the late King and Queen of this kingdom, as a penance for the attack, King Re sent his daughter to make peace, the princess was a learned man who would later be able to accompany the crown prince to his throne." The envoy gave confidence to the sincere intentions of his King.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother would do well to accept this proposal. That way we'll know who the attack was against?" The palace's advisory proposal.
"Prepare the crown prince's wedding, tell your King that his proposal is accepted." The Queen Mother's decision after weighing well the proposal of the palace advisors.
The envoy left the hall feeling delighted. He hoped that the attacks that led to their kingdom could be resolved.
Everyone inside the hall smiled meaningfully after the fall of the queen mother's decision. For a good heart, this news is considered a good thing and a start that is worth controlling. But for the spiteful heart this is a bad start can even be a catastrophe for certain camps.
A slight sense of relief was felt in the Queen Mother's heart as soon as the crown prince had a companion. And Suri's mother hoped the princess who would become empress was really tough and smart. To face the crown prince, you need a smart girl.
