The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 147 CONFESSION OF KING GHANIM
The hoopla immediately struck the Bentala Royal Palace where the corpse of Prince Marvin suddenly appeared in front of the Rajawali Palace.
What happened, no one can be sure. To be sure Grand Consort Caltha was already weeping roaring in front of the son's corpse.
She was obviously crying. His daughter, Princess Eveline, has not been home for several days, even the one who came home was the corpse of her son, Princess Eveline's older brother.
Our Lady of Suri Hellen clearly felt devastated by the death of her grandson. Prince Marvin is one of his greatest grandchildren. With the death of Prince Marvin, it meant that the great people by his side were reduced again.
His turmoil has not disappeared, now increased again with the death of Prince Marvin.
Yesterday he got word from Nehan City Officials that the military forces asked to join the city had all been killed by rebel forces.
Even more sad than the news that the military forces based in Nehan City which number around 16000 more turned out to be defeated by rebel forces which number less than 5000 personnel.
How his heart does not become riled up then. A large number can be defeated by a small amount.
Then inevitably he had to admit the prowess of the Heliana Concubine army. Yes, this must be the job of Consort Heliana.
Although the number is small but it turns out that the team of Consorts Heliana has above average prowess. It was only fitting that he dared to challenge him, it turned out that he had a great army.
It was only fitting that Consort Heliana gave him an ultimatum to leave the palace, it turned out that the concubine had great strength.
But Mother Suri remained undaunted by the terror of Consort Heliana. He was even more challenged to face it.

If Prince Marvin's body appears in the palace, where does Princess Eveline appear? Though he was first eliminated by Dhafin with teleportation knowledge rather than Prince Marvin.
It turns out that Dhafin sent her at Consort Ashana's residence. He appeared there before the appearance of Prince Marvin.
Of course all the residents of the residence were surprised to see Princess Eveline suddenly appear strangely in front of the entrance.
Consort Ashana and her bodyguard, General Elaina, went to see him and asked him what happened so Princess Eveline suddenly appeared strangely so.
Actually there happened to be Princess Lavina and her two bodyguards. But because it turned out to be Princess Eveline, Princess Lavina was clearly not willing to meet him. Both his guards followed.
Of course Princess Eveline did not answer their questions. He is still confused about what happened to him.
He just had an argument with Dhafin. Suddenly the young man who made her heart upset sent her to Consort Ashana's residence.
While other palace families call Consort Ashana's residence is a dumping ground.
However, he was stunned to see Consort Ashana who looked fine. Meanwhile, the other palace family said that he had a skin disease.
He was actually about to ask about the disease that befell his 4th wife. But because he continued to be urged about what happened to him, he finally explained what happened.
Obviously he didn't tell me he was wandering around looking for Dhafin. He only tells the story of starting from Zafer stealing his sword until he sent Dhafin to this place.
Hearing the disaster that befell Prince Marvin, Consort Ashana explained also felt sad. Because Prince Marvin counted his children. Although the big family of the palace did not consider it.
Sensing the calamity that befell Prince Marvin, Consort Ashana again remembered her first child. More precisely his son, Princess Lavina's older sister.
The child was born with love from her and her husband King Ghanim. It's just that the child was born before they were officially married.
Due to the circumstances of that time, they were forced to leave the child to a husband and wife who lived in a remote village.
Once they were officially married, they came again to the village with the intention of taking their son.
But what to say, the child was not there because the couple had taken him away who no villager knew.
Remembering his son who he never raised other than just suckling him, made himself overwhelmed with grief and sorrow almost at every sigh of his breath.
Until now he did not know where his son was, whether he was alive or not, how was his face?
While Consort Ashana reminisces about her son, General Elaina worries about her first daughter.
"How's Zelyne doing, Princess?" general Elaina asked in a worried tone. "Is my daughter okay?"
"I don't know, Auntie," said Princess Eveline. "If he doesn't come home, he'll go with that young man named Zafer."
"You don't worry, Elaina," Consort Ashana said, calming her bodyguards, but she was still grieved. "There was Dhafin with them. Your daughter will be fine."
"What I'm worried about is that Dhafin and his men think Zelyne is the enemy" said General Elaina, still anxious.
"Dhafin and his people are rebels, Auntie," Princess Eveline said as if to refute. "Obviously Brother Zelyne is their enemy. But...."
"But why, Eveline?" concubine Ashana asked as curious but soft-pitched.
Princess Eveline did not answer Consort Ashana's question. For a moment he looked at the veiled woman.
After being satisfied to see the face covered with a veil, he glanced at the palm of the concubine who turned out to be smooth white.
She heard from her mother that Consort Ashana was almost covered with wounds from skin diseases. But why do the eel and his hands look smooth, like they have never been exposed to skin diseases?
Actually Consort Ashana knew what Princess Eveline's gaze meant to her. But he doesn't want to talk about the not-so-important. He asked back the unanswered question.
"Now I am confused" said Princess Eveline, revealing a matter that troubled her mind. "Obviously Dhafin and his men are rebels. But why would Prince Revan back accusing us of being rebels as well?"
"Prince Revan said that it was Nenenda who had usurped this kingdom" he continued. "While Nenenda said that Kakenda had betrayed the kingdom."
"Where is the truth?"
Neither Consort Ashana nor General Elaina knew which side was right. But they did not dare to tell the truth to Princess Eveline.
Because it is concerned with the secrets of the kingdom that has been dominated by the Mother of Suri. That is, it must be with the approval of Mother Suri to reveal such a thing.
"For that matter, please ask yourselves to His Majesty the King, your father," Consort Ashana suggested.
Princess Eveline can understand Consort Ashana can't tell her the truth, though she suspects the concubine must know.
This matter seemed to be a secret that not just anyone should reveal. And not just anyone can know, even though the family is like him.
And so without lingering Princess Eveline finally went to the palace right then and there.
★☆★☆
Princess Eveline stared for a moment at the figure she had been honoring, even though her grandmother's Mother Suri made her a puppet king.
Often he felt sad to see his grandmother's treatment of his father. Made the king just as a symbol, sovereignty remains dominated by his grandmother.
Obviously this had hurt his father for his 2x. But his father could do nothing, other than just be able to regret his helpless self helping his younger brother.
It was the first time his father was hurt when his grandmother killed Uncle Killian's first wife.
And almost that time Uncle Killian's daughter was killed by her grandmother if not quickly saved by her father.
Again his father was helpless to help his sister. He could only regret himself.
Until finally Uncle Killian left the palace with his 3-year-old daughter. And never again return to the palace forever.
Uncle Killian left the palace without being kicked out by his grandmother. But he was actually expelled.
This happened about 18 years ago.
Although Princess Eveline heard the story from her father, it was as if she saw the sad event.
Given the sad events in his family makes him often wonder, this family is actually a family?
Just now the entire palace family seemed to mourn the death of Prince Marvin. But she saw her grandmother as mediocre, showing no sorrow for her granddaughter's death.
"I heard from your people that you went out of the palace without your mother's gospel" the rebuke of King Ghanim was heavy but soft. "No escort. Just the two of you with your Personal Guards."
Princess Eveline instantly woke up from daydreams upon hearing her father's reprimand. But he quickly neutralized himself. Keep saying but not bluntly.
"Did you worry about my safety?" Princess Eveline asked.
"Clearly, I fear for your safety" said King Ghanim lovingly.
"Heliana's Concubine Force is everywhere" he continued, "I'm afraid they're killing you because you're fighting them."
"I've even faced them," Princess Eveline said lightly.
King Ghanim was shocked to hear his daughter's words. The aura of worry was instantly drawn on his suffering face.
"Are you okay, Eveline?" asked King Ghanim clearly feeling anxious. "Aren't you fucked by them?"
"Actually I was almost killed by Dhafin," said Princess Eveline half-truthfully. "But he still forgives me for not following his fight."
"Tell me what exactly happened?"
Then Princess Eveline told her what she experienced while leaving without permission. Including him telling me his point out of the palace. Until he returned to the palace.
"If your aim is to find Dhafin to join him, I expand you," said King Ghanim still softly. "Even I suggest you should join him."
"But if you seek it against it" continued King Ghanim, "you should not go near it."
"You can take a lesson from Marvin, your candlestick. Father had advised him not to interfere in this matter, he did not want to listen. He heard his grandmother more than his father."
★☆★☆
"What Prince Revan said, your cousin's brother is right" King Ghanim continued to lecture his daughter. "The real rebel is your grandmother, Officer Choman, and father."
"What about the nenenda's accusation that kakenda has strayed from the kingdom?" ask Princess Eveline.
"That's not true" said King Ghanim firmly. "The truth is that it is your mind that deviates. He led a rebellion in overthrowing your brother's power."
"Kill your brother and his queen by poisoning them. And father...."
"And the father killed the father's brother and his two wives...."
When he said that sentence, sadness mixed with regret immediately enveloped his feelings.
Hearing that how shocked Princess Eveline was that she let out a small scream.
Her father whom she had been proud of was a murderer. Not someone else he killed, but his own brother.
Without feeling her tears flowing down her smooth cheeks. Because he did not think that his family had a bad past.
Who else could he trust now that they all had evil hearts. His brothers compete to bring each other down. The mothers are like that.
Where should he run now to live? Did Consort Ashana seem to live a peaceful life outside the palace? But there was Princess Lavina who obviously hated her as well.
Does he have to run on....
"I hope that you will get out of the palace as soon as possible and join Dhafin and your cousin, Prince Revan," said King Ghanim as if forced.
"What about father?" said Princess Eveline who turned out to be still worried about her father.
"Don't you think of this sinner" said King Ghanim still in his voice. "Save yourself."
"Iamazand...."
A wide variety of feelings raged within Princess Eveline. Haru, sad, disappointed, angry.... Until finally he came back touched by all what was done by the man who still looked handsome.
King Ghanim took out 2 mail amplots lying on the table. Then one by one he gave it to Princess Eveline while saying.
"If you meet General Zelyne, hand him this letter."
"And this leaves it to your cousin, Prince Revan."
"Now prepare! I will send you to Nehan City now by teleportation. I had a hunch Dhafin was there."
Then he took the sword that was also lying on the table and handed it to his daughter.
"Iamazand...."
Princess Eveline directly hugged her father tightly after receiving the sword. While her tears are getting bigger.
"If you hate your father because of the great sin he committed, but he will always love you...."
"Only you and Lavina can hope to reduce your father's sin...."
Then King Ghanim put his right palm behind Princess Eveline who was still crying.
Not long after, a yellow ray wrapped around Princess Eveline's body. The next shock he lost with the yellow light.
