“ I, Delroy Damocles, hereby enable Maledine Chryses to be a wife in joy and sorrow, rich and poor, healthy and sick, until death do us part.. “ Excited King Delroy loudly in front of a religious leader.
“ I, Maledine Chryses, this middleman, received Delroy Damocles as husband in joy and sorrow, rich and poor, healthy and sick, until death do part.. “ Maledine said softly and slightly stammered out of nervousness.
“ I hereby declare that they have become a couple endowed by the gods. There will be nothing that can separate them other than death. “ religious leaders close the wedding blessing for the two brides.
This morning, in the Kingdom in the middle of nowhere, the King who was the supreme ruler had married a young girl who was still twenty years old. The girl who was said to be the luckiest girl in the country, but to this girl all this was nothing more than a disaster for her. Since a girl with an obscure background and came from commoners, now being able to become a queen was certain that everyone would blaspheme and hate her.
Maledine, once a servant of the queen who some time ago died of a rare disease that until now has no cure. The queen fell ill ten years ago, and did not recover. Maledine herself followed the queen from the age of seventeen, and for the queen Maledine was her best friend who had always accompanied her.
When the Queen is already on the verge of death, in front of everyone who is in the queen's palace. The queen said the king would marry Maledine and make the small line his successor. Even the queen asked the King to swear that the King would marry Maledine. And because Maledine was so beautiful as the goddess, the king agreed and promised to marry Maledine.
“Yang noble.. Can... You grant my last request?? “ the queen said when she almost met her death.
“ Ratuku.. Don't say much, let the healer treat you.. We talk later yes, after the healer is finished. “ said the King who had panicked when he heard the condition of the queen suddenly dropped.
“ I will not be cured, your majesty.. My wish is only one... Please, take care of Maledine and make her... As a noble wife... Replaced me... Pl-please... Can... Which... Mulia... “ the queen's speech has been disjointed because the condition is very alarming.
“ There's you by my side why I should marry another woman.. Heal, and we will travel the world as you wish.. Don't talk no-no, I beg Parveen... “ tears the King has fallen. Between heart and heart not to see the suffering of his queen. Tega because he prefers to keep his wife even though he is in pain, does not have the heart to see his wife continue to feel pain despite having often taken medication.
“ Please grant my noble request.. L am... Please... “ the queen spoke while crying. This made everyone in the place cry at how unfortunate the fate of their queen was.
“ Your Majesty, forgive me for being presumptuous.. But please follow the request of the Queen.. That way he will go quietly.. I beg your majesty. “ said the main lady of Driana, the lady who has been serving the queen.
Long time the king was silent to think, until finally the king agreed to the request of the queen at that time. Shortly after, the queen was declared dead due to a rare disease that befell her. Crying filled every space within this royal castle. Their queen, the benevolent and meek queen, was now facing the god. Everyone was crying for the queen's departure, not least the king who had even lost his wife in front of everyone, for crying so hysterically in front of his wife's corpse.
Maledine was standing on the balcony of her current room. His mind was filled with many problems that plagued him at this time only because he was willing to marry the king and also immediately appointed queen. Maledine himself was surprised, but the king still had a concubine who first entered the harem, but why the king actually raised her to be queen. It is true that the king followed the queen's wishes.
This morning alone in the palace hall was horrendous with ministers protesting the king's decision to appoint her as queen. Ministers headed by the prime minister, Partoveus, firmly rejected Maledine as queen. They agreed to make Maledine descend by itself from the queen's throne.
“ Your Majesty.” Maledine's personal servant appointed directly by the king disperse the reverie of Maledine.
“ Yes?” Maledine gasped in surprise.
“ It's time you welcomed his majesty the king.. He is on his way here.” said personal servant Maledine.
Maledine did not say much, just quickly changed her clothes to welcome the king who used to be her master, now became her husband. Maledine wore a black silk home dress, in stark contrast to her skin that was as pure white as milk. Maledine was mourning the death of her former queen, so she wore a black dress.
“ Welcome noble.” greet Maledine when seeing her husband enter her private room.
“ Good afternoon my wife.. What are you doing?” ask king. His feet stepped into Maledine's private room and his hands took off one by one her outer clothes, leaving behind thin white underwear.
“ No one noble.. I just enjoy the beautiful view from this room only.” replied Maledine very politely.
“ Come here..!! sit on my lap!!” king's word.
Maledine hesitated to do what her husband told her to do. The reason is, yesterday they are still in the status of their employers and servants, now they have changed into husbands and wives. Maledine had not gotten used to this, again she did not have any feelings for this man in front of her.
Leaving Maledine and also the man who had become her husband. On the border of the land of nowhere, there was a man who was ravaging his tent, as soon as the latest news happened in the palace.
The queen died a few days ago, and yesterday the king married the queen's maid. Doesn't that sound very strange and inappropriate. How old was the king to marry a young girl, not to mention that her status was only a servant. Worse, their marriage took place just two days after the queen's death. At the very least, the king with his floor raised the woman with low status to be queen.
“ Ayahanda really outrageous.. I had to go home to make the old man aware of what he was doing.” His murmurs crumbled letters written by his confidants in the palace.
“ Prepare my needs.. Tomorrow I will return to the palace.” said the man who is none other than this crown prince.
