The Maple Leaf Kingdom
Page 17's
A very large door, my mind, when faced with a large and towering door with a pair of classic carved door leaves. If you look around, it seems like this is no ordinary room.
Ngikk...
The sound that arose as the two soldiers on guard pushed him slowly until the light of the petromak lamp from inside the room spread out.
"Uwahhh." My amazement went straight through the Alpha, intending to enter the room. The happiest thing for me in the whole world is to meet a lot of books with different genres.
Two royal soldiers on the left and right sides were ready to block my way with their iron spears.
"Greetings to His Majesty the King and Queen" said the two soldiers simultaneously. But still stuck my way. "Please, Your Majesty the Queen. You must walk behind His Majesty the King. Because only His Majesty the King is allowed to visit this place. You can't be careless."
I threw a look of disbelief, What?! What the fuck? I'm his queen, not his servant. It sucks...
"Supply!!" snapped Alfa. It made me close my eyes without daring to turn towards Alfa.
The clattering of feet approaching the man made my heart beat fast. Is this what is felt in the near-death moment?
"You want me to kill you?"
I blinked my eyes a few times. You guys? Not 'you'?
"Not yet to get rid of your iron spears?!" he snapped, making the two soldiers pull back the iron spear while lowering their heads. "Please, Your Majesty the King."
Alfa did not make their request and let me in first. "Come in first. You're the Queen, no one can stand in your way."
I nodded doubtfully, then walked into the room after gazing towards the two soldiers. Alfa...
Buk up! Buk up!
Giving each one his tonjokan for the two sassy soldiers.
"Seek your punishment to Rudolf!" his orders were in a flat tone and the countenance was just as flat, no matter the two soldiers were holding back the pain in the stomach from his punch just now.
Inside that room.
I walked up to the row of shelves with dozens of books, oh no, hundreds or even thousands of books to read. My days here will be more colorful.
"You like it?"
I nodded and smiled as sweetly as possible.
"I see you so focused when you read a book. You must really like to read yes," he said with a smile. A smile? Okay, I'm getting used to this weird, fickle Alpha attitude.
"I really like to read books." I was cut off when a brilliant mind came to my beautiful brain. If in the cartoons I used to watch, there would be a yellow bulb burning above my head. "Alfa... can you show me the Maple Leaf Kingdom manners book?"
Although his face was confused but his head still nodded as he walked to one of the shelves.
While waiting for Alfa to pick up the book, I waltzed towards the sofa covered in animal skin. Real comfortable...
Before long, Alfa returned with three thick books in her hand, the man then took a seat on the sofa opposite me now. There was only a separate table with a lot of paper and books piled up on that table.
"This is. I've sorted from the top which is a priority to read. The other two are just extras, you don't have to read them either" he said, handing over the books.
I accepted with a smile. Imagine there will be something big tomorrow. The top book I put on my lap, while the other two were pasted into the empty space of the sofa I was sitting on.
As usual when reading a book, I would be so serious as to ignore anything, including Alfa who is currently busy studying important documents on the table.
Until it doesn't feel like time is getting late. After the two books I finished reading, even Alfa was not finished with her work.
While propping up my chin, I started reading the third book. After feeling sleepy again, my eyes closed in front of the book I was reading before. I fell asleep because I was too tired to read.

Next morning.
"His Majesty the Queen..."
"His Majesty the Queen..."
The servants' calls woke up my deep sleep.
"Wohhhmm..." I yawned and realized I was in my room.
"Is this in the room?" my question made the servants nod their heads.
"His Majesty the King who carried the Queen here late at night" said one of the servants.
"True, His Majesty the King even personally approached us to wake the Queen up, help clean up, and prepare" said another servant.
Alpha's not as bad as I thought. Maybe this time I will amaze him...
My smile spread and said to the servant, "Help me get ready, make me your most beautiful Queen today."
The servants were happy to help. One of them I ordered to take some bread for breakfast. Alfa was already on his throne for a meeting of ministers.
Last touch. A tiara crown that is already mine in the future and the past is already perched on my pretty head. The long straight black hair that was smoothed out was as beautiful as my appearance today.
"Ready. Let's go!" I cried excitedly as I said in my heart, Today my role is to be a beautiful, graceful, and wise Queen.
The lessons from the book I read last night have stuck in my brain and how to apply them.
I walked gracefully in the new clothes and robes of a queen, without any thick white feathers of course. A servant led me to the main hall of the kingdom, where Alfa is now. While the other two servants followed behind. When the door opened, all eyes were on me. Unexpectedly, Alfa got up from her seat, her originally cold face started to warm up. I smiled, showing my charm as a graceful and wise queen.
When Alfa's position faced me, her arms stretched out as usual. I gladly greeted him, and we walked on the red carpet to the throne of the king and queen.
"Pst... How do I look at this time?" i whisper.
Alfa smiled as she said, "Very beautiful." While the occupants of the room were astonished to see Alfa's smile.
Some of them consider it a dream, others consider the effects of Queen magic to Her Majesty the King. How could I know? Because now they start to row with all the expressions in their hearts.
I occupy this great throne. Oh. although it is very fond of fantasizing to be a princess or a queen. Never imagined would actually sit on this throne.
"GOD OF BLESSINGS TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING AND THE QUEEN.." A round of respect from the throngs of ministers and high-ranking of the kingdom when I and Alpha were already seated on their respective thrones.
"Sit down!" alfa's decree made the crowd sit in an orderly manner.
"The meeting of the ministers and officials of the kingdom this time is intended to welcome the Queen of the Kingdom of Maple Leaf who is now in front of you. Therefore, we must both strive to expand the kingdom and make efforts for the benefit of the people and the Maple Leaf Kingdom. I, Alfa Bellezza Dell'arcobaleno, the King who presides over two kingdoms, namely the Maple Leaf Kingdom and the Lighter Kingdom, as your new king accompanied by my Queen, Queen of two kingdoms, Queen Luciana Lighter. You must swear allegiance to this kingdom and country, will not betray or revolt, swear allegiance to life. Do it!!!" alfa's firmness that made me instantly amazed, became the companion of a great king. Who could have imagined it? I still don't believe it either.
"WE SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO THE KINGDOM AND THIS LAND, WILL NOT BETRAY OR COMMIT REBELLION, SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO INDWELLING."
The thunderous pronunciation of the loyal promises made by ministers and state officials seemed to thrill this government. In my heart, maybe I've been worrying too much about him as a cruel and merciless king. And my journey here as a queen has just begun...
Why are my tears dripping? Are these the happy tears of Princess Luciana Lighter? It feels so good to see all this. I wiped the tears gracefully and turned my eyes away, looking at the pair of eyeballs of a man who was now looking at me intensely. Dev? Why did he throw such a look?
To be continue...
