The Maple Leaf Kingdom
Page 19's

Am I dead?

Me where?

Press.. test, test...

The sound of wet cloth. The fabric touches the skin of the back. Cold and pain felt at the same time. So hurt...

A few days later.

Cit... cit... cit...

Some birds chirped outside the window, tapping on the window glass with their beaks.

I blinked my eyes, trying to recognize where I am now. I should have died and returned to the Nusa Bangsa Academy. But nevertheless...

"You're sober?"

What the fuck? I would rather die than meet him again.

When Alfa approached, I turned my back to her. However, pain suddenly struck my back. So hurt...

"Ishhh.." ringisku endured the pain.

"Servant!!" alfa cried out to the servant with ferocity. A few seconds later, a servant who ran away was panting. "Call the royal doctor! Hurry along!"

"Okay, Your Majesty the King."

"Is it still so painful?" ask her with a worried tone. I don't want to know what his facial expression is like now, which obviously doesn't want to feel like retaliating against a simple human speech. I'm going home...

"Are you so mad at me?"

I was still silent, not commenting on Alfa's words. Why is there such a man in this world?

"Rudolf!!" he shouted again, now calling his confidant.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King and Queen." he said, bowing respectfully.

Alfa did not respond to her greeting and instead asked me a question. "What do you want me to punish him for? Hows it? I've given him punishment along with all the soldiers who executed him, 5 times the pain you feel, which is 20 lashes. You want them to receive 20 more lashes?"

I'm silent.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Greetings to His Majesty the King and Queen." His interrupting voice made me force myself to stand up.

"Let me check, Her Majesty the Queen," he said sitting by the side of the bed close to me.

I hugged the body of Tiara who was now shocked at the treatment she received. I could only cry and not want to ignore the others at all. At the very least, there was still a Tiara even though it was not the real one. I cried so much that occasionally a hiccup interjected.

I don't know what Alfa's thinking right now. I was too sad, being a Queen was not entirely happy either. What kind of life is this?

"Rudolf.. take the whip 20 more times," Alfa's edict made me look up to her. That flat, cold face, just like the one in the book.

"Okay, Your Majesty the King," replied obediently Rudolf.

"Ja.ngan.." I said softly, still hugging Tiara's body, and with tears.

"You're in so much pain, that's why you cry like that. Let him accept his punishment for whipping you" said Alfa, not changing the expression on his face, while Rudolf waited for the certainty of his fate.

"You're still not going either, Rudolf!" snapped Alfa.

"Okay, Your Majesty the King." Rudolf resigned to his end this time, painfully enduring 20 lashes before, and 20 more lashes would kill him. The man walked away.

"Wait on! I'll replace it, if you still want to punish him!" pekikku can't bear.

Rudolf's steps came to a halt, his eyes widened in surprise. The queen who got the lash on his orders just without hesitation wanted to replace her received the punishment.

"You are cruel, Alpha..." Why am I crying again? It should not be this drama, but the feeling of Princess Luciana Lighter's body was so soft. I can't control my excessive sadness right now.

"All right, I'll forgive him. But you also have to forgive me" said Alfa softly as she stroked the top of my head.

I nodded obediently in Tiara's embrace, my heart now so soft. Though I still want to get mad at him and cook him alive so that the frozen attitude melts away. Haisss.

Rudolf kneeled down as he said, "I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen. From now on Rudolf will obey all the Queen's orders and be faithful, will not let the Queen hurt the slightest item," Rudolf's loyal promise touched me.

Hohoho. Who seemed to want to kill me?

Ah, yes. The kid how are you? If he dies, then my efforts will be in vain.

"What about the servant's son?" ask me with a hoarse voice as a result of crying.

"I've forgiven him, he's fine" said Alfa.

Mercifully...

"Your Majesty the Queen, let me examine your wounds first," Tiara bargained making me nod in agreement.

"Come out, you" I commanded.

"Come, Rudolf!" alfa Order.

"Okay, Your Majesty the King."

"You too," my instructions stared at the man. Afterwards seeing Alfa sighing harshly.

"All right."

I smiled triumphantly. Nice, deadly lion, now a submissive cat, proud of me in my heart.

The two men came out of the room and closed the door. Leaving me alone with Tiara nervously unzipping the back of my shirt. Reveal wounds that bleed again.

"His Majesty the Queen, does it hurt?" when applying herbal medicine.

"Yes," I replied briefly while holding the ringing.

"May I ask you a few things?" ask again.

"Say."

"You've hugged me twice. To be honest I don't understand, why are you so familiar?"

"In the beginning I considered you a friend. Shouldn't friends share their joys and sorrows?" my words made him understand.

"I understand. Then, the question this time was about His Majesty the King."

"Please" the man who is still applying the medicine.

"As long as I serve in the Maple Leaf Kingdom, never has His Majesty the King forgiven anyone. Why..."

"You can ask him directly if that's the case. I don't understand either," my cut already knows Tiara's way of thinking.

"I dare not ask."

"Why are you so nervous about treating me?" tanyaku got a cold sensation from the touch of Tiara's hand, also it seemed like her hand was trembling slightly when it touched me.

"I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen," he said guiltily.

"Why apologize? I'm just asking, why are you so nervous?"

"That's because of you, Her Majesty the Queen."

"I? Is my face as hideous as the King?" I asked while pointing at my own face.

"No" she argued quickly. "Seeing His Majesty the King so much love for the Queen makes me nervous. If you scream in pain right now, maybe my head will be beheaded by him."

Eh? Segitunyakah?

"Alright, I won't grimace, let alone scream."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen."

Haiss... This tiara is so timid, unlike the ones in the real world. Though he even with the bars shaking my head rough if in the real world.

"It's over, Queen." Tiara pulled back the shirt zipper, closed it.

"Thank you, Tiara," I said with a friendly smile.

"No need to thank you, Queen. It's my duty."

"Hm... Where do you live?" my question is to remember that there is not much I know about the Tiara here.

"Still in this royal neighborhood, more precisely on the right foyer" he said.

I nodded in understanding.

"Oh, yes. How long have I been lying unconscious?" manya curious.

"That's three days, Queen."

"What?! Only four lashes are unconscious three days, then twenty..." I'm dumbfounded.

"Maybe Her Majesty the Queen won't be conscious forever." Tiara's words made me blink my eyes a few times. "Because the Queen's body condition is so weak apparently. In addition to allergies to dust, feathers, and air that is too cold. The Queen's heart is also so weak."

I can only nod Tiara's words. I'm the only one in the real world who is allergic, why here so have heart disease?

"Queen.." call her.

"Hm?"

"You also understand the language of the western world?"

Oh, I accidentally said English.

"You know it yourself?" my many.

"That's, I've been studying it from books for five years for everyday conversation."

"Yes, I can" I replied. It turns out that Tiara in this world is also smart, can learn foreign languages.

"All right, Her Majesty the Queen. I will report to the King. Excuse me. Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen" she said, bowing respectfully and coming out after I nodded my head.

"I'm alone again.well, I'll take a walk," I cried down the bed.

Where is this beautiful girl going? Let's take a look.

Ngikk...

I slowly opened the door. "Oh, my goodness!" surprised me.

"What the fuck?" I stroked my chest. How surprising.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen" greeted the two soldiers on guard.

"The Queen's Majesty is not allowed to go out" said one of the two.

"What is your King's command?" my many.

"No. The king ordered us to guard this room."

"Then it doesn't matter if I want to take a walk out, in the room so stuffy, and I want to breathe fresh air" my alibi said.

"Can't, Queen. If the King knows, how to explain it?" block them.

"Well, I will report to the King if you stand in my way. I'm not sure if the King will spare your lives?" Hehe...Luciana Lighter, you're starting to abuse power.

"But, the King will be angry too if he finds out we let the Queen go."

"That's easy. Just tell me that I left on my own accord and threaten your lives if you are not welcome to leave. That scares you, and finally won't let me go. If so, then the only one to blame is me. How's it?"

"alright. Please pass, Her Majesty the Queen," please.

"Thank you, thank you," I said gladly.

Finally out.

"Now where are we going?" I murmured when I went down the stairs.

"His Majesty the Queen?" said someone behind me.

To be continue...
