Dukes... Dukes...

"What is this?!" snapped Alfa as the horse carriage suddenly shook violently. I almost fell forward if Alfa had not restrained my body.

The horse carriage stopped. A soldier came forward and raised his head to the window of the horse-drawn carriage.

"Sorry, Your Majesty the King. In front is a tomato merchant. The merchant cart wheel was broken and detached. Tomatoes were scattering in the street and blocking, "the soldier explained.

"Alright, let's go down and see, Queen," Alfa led me down from the chariot as her soldiers opened the door.

Just a few steps down, I was presented with the sight of a middle-aged man dressed in shabbiness prostrating himself as he pleaded, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Forgive me, please forgive."

It was a pity, my mind, then I glanced towards Alfa who had clenched an annoyed hand. This man's expression was so sinister when he was angry. Was he angry just because the wheel of this merchant wagon was broken? Ck, ck, ck, really.

"You know?! His Majesty the King and Queen want to go to the West. You're hampering his journey!" maki was one of the soldiers who was in front of the shabby man.

Fortunately, I remembered the role today. I didn't choose the wrong role. Seeing Alfa had stepped forward with her cruel look. I immediately interjected by stepping ahead of Alfa.

I crouched down in front of the tomato merchant man, not caring about my personal servants who were also on this trip squealing that my pride shirt would get dirty. I don't squeal at them.

"Your Majesty the Queen, your clothes will be dirty. Rise up, Her Majesty the Queen..." The servants approached.

Where do I want to respond to them, obviously this guy is more pity than just a washable shirt. Before Alfa gets angry, I better ease the atmosphere first.

"Rise, Sir. Broken wagon wheels are not your fault" I said looking into the role of putting on a beautiful smile and kind words. Sometimes I wonder, this myself falls into the category of hypocrites or not. But given that I did nothing wrong to others, it seems that role-playing is not a sin.

I stared at the many tomatoes scattered on the ground.

"Surely you have a loss because many tomatoes are wasted," I said, after turning to the Alpha. "King, come here..."

Alfa obediently approached me.

When Alfa was by my side, I got up and began to persuade her, "Don't you feel sorry for this Master? Many tomatoes are scattered. As the leader of the kingdom, it would be best to compensate this Lord so as not to lose."

Alfa seemed to think and shouted to Rudolf. "Rudolf! Give this Master twenty pieces of gold so as not to lose."

The tomato merchant man who had originally sat down to rest, now back on his knees, sticking his forehead to the ground. "No dare, King! Forgive my life! Don't exchange my life for the gold piece, I still have a family to spare!"

"Who wants to kill you?!" snapped Alfa did not accept his misinterpreted good intentions. In my heart I sneered, Who told me to have such a ferocious habit? Because people are all afraid of you.

The people around the place stared with pity, not daring to help the tomato merchant man. Am I the one who should intervene?

I let out a tired breath, then crouched back down.

"Rise up, no one wants to kill you. You can accept the gold pieces without worrying, this is a form of kindness of the King," I said softly still with a charming smile. Playing a very exhausting role.

The merchant showed no signs of waking up. it made me feel achy crouching like now.

With a cold flat face, Alpha said, "You did not hear the words, Queen? Want me to really kill you?"

Cih, this bastard is so rude! my meaning is in my heart.

"Th-don't dare! Forgive me, Your Majesty the King and Queen!" the merchant immediately stood up.

Rudolf advanced and handed over the gold piece that the King had ordered to give to the man.

"Soldier, please help clean up the scattered tomatoes and gently edge the cart" I ordered kindly. It seems like I am a perfect fit to be a queen with this kind of personality.

"Done as ordered, Queen!" alfa Order.

This guy's habits are very, very heinous. But, I started to realize that she had a soft side towards me, I thought feeling a little touched.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the King and Queen," said the merchant as he thrust a bag full of tomatoes at me. "Maybe this is nothing, but the gold given by the King could even be for me to build a tomato shop. Thank you for the kindness, Queen. Accept this."

Just wanting to accept it, Rudolf suddenly came forward. "Please! You gave that filthy thing to the Queen?!" ruddolf did not like it.

Ah... Rudolf was insolent, I got shocked, my inner self.

"Absolutely, Queen! These tomatoes have not fallen off the wagon. I'd just like to give it to you," the panic trader was accompanied by a bow of the body several times.

I then looked towards Alfa who looked so dignified like the King. The look on his face was so cold.

"King, I want that. Can't I eat tomatoes while on the road?" my door with a mainstay facial expression that can not be denied charm.

"Rudolf! Receive and wash it clean so that the Queen can enjoy it" orders Alfa.

"Okay, Your Majesty the King," Rudolf obeyed, receiving a bag of tomatoes from the merchant.

"Thank you for the tomatoes, sir," I said, surprising everyone, but not the Alpha. In the eyes of Alfa whatever I do is right.

In the minds of those who witness.

The queen thanked me?

The queen is very generous, friendly, meek, and smiling.

Even the King did not dodge when the Queen asked.

It seems the King loves the Queen.

It turns out that the royal people are not what they sound like.

Rumors about the benevolent Queen are true.

And many more.

"Don't say that, Queen. The thank you from you is very heavy for me to accept," said the tomato merchant man.

"Alright, Queen. Let's go back to the horse-drawn carriage," Alfa led my hand to walk back into the carriage.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King and Queen. May his journey be blessed!" everyone who was there shouted to join us in entering the horse-drawn carriage.

Before the horse carriage drove again, Rudolf raised his head at the door of the horse carriage before it closed.

"According to the King's orders, these are tomatoes that have been washed clean. Please Her Majesty the Queen eat it," sodor Rudolf gave a large plate and filled with tomatoes that looked very tempting.

I couldn't help it anymore, wanting to quickly eat those tomatoes. I gladly received the plate thrusting that Rudolf out of nowhere got. Probably from the people around.

"Thank you, Rudolf."

"It is an honor to serve you, Her Majesty the Queen," said Rudolf, closing the door of the chariot.

The horse-drawn carriage was already on its way and I was busy eating those fresh tomatoes. It tastes sweet a bit sour, but fresh. I really like it.

"You want the King?" I gave a tomato to Alpha.

Unexpectedly Alfa received it and immediately ate the tomato even though she was a bit hesitant at the beginning.

"It turned out to be delicious" he said.

"Did you never eat it?" I was surprised to find an expression of Alpha that seemed to get the best treasure in the world.

"I've eaten tomatoes before, but I've never eaten anything like this. It is usually eaten only when cooked. Who would have thought eating it directly would taste very good and fresh," said Alfa made me oh ria.

"Then your life has been in vain all this time" my lips did not make Alfa angry at all.
