The queen sat on the floor crying over the fate of her life and the child she contained after the king learned the secret she and her lover had been hiding. The queen did not know what to do, against the king's decision could not be because the requirement of the king so that he was not punished was to say who was the father of his child. How could the queen say that and make the relationship of the king and his own son become ruined.
It is thought that until the day turns dark, the queen is no longer able to think of ways to escape this problem. The only thing he could do was to obey the king so that he and the child he contained were still alive. The issue with the crown prince will be that the queen tries to speak up when the crown prince is done with his mission.
" your highness." the lady-in-waiting who had been the mediator between the crown prince and the queen came to the queen to ask what she should do.
" Don't say anything to her, let it be me who will bear it. From the beginning it wasn't her fault, it was my fault that couldn't hold back." Maledine also woke up from her position that since this morning only sat on the floor covered with thick carpet.
" Prepare everything, tonight we will go to the cold palace." said Maledine who was directly carried out by her ladies.
The preparations to go to the cold palace were already finished. The carriage carrying the queen to the place had also been ready in front of the queen's residence since this afternoon. The queen prepared to leave with her two personal ladies who one was the lady-in-waiting of the crown prince and the other was indeed the queen's previous lady-in-waiting who later became her lady-in-waiting.
" I never thought I'd leave this place when I started to feel like this place could be my home.." maledine's inner self as she stared at the residence she had occupied for almost this past year.
The horse-drawn carriage that led the queen to the cold palace set off. From a safe vantage point, the king witnessed all of that and his heart was so sore at the sight of his wife having to leave the palace in such a bad way. The king's heart was broken by the betrayal of his own son and wife.
" Uhuk..uhuk.." the king coughed, making William who continued to be beside him panic.
" Your highness.. You better rest first.. If this continues, your health will deteriorate. " William hired the king to return to his private residence.
There was nothing the king could do at this time. He was so devastated with the traitors of those closest to him that his health condition deteriorated and the king had to get treatment from the palace healers.
News of his deteriorating condition must not be heard by those who have been watching him or the life of someone he loves would be threatened. Although the king now looks cruel, but all he wants to do is to protect someone he so dear and loved with all his heart.
Intentions want to rest after a difficult day, but the desire of this king must he pendam because at this time in front of his residence stood the concubine Oclariana. The king could only sigh without wanting to take a dizzy at the arrival of this concubine who would definitely discuss about the queen's punishment.
" I'm sorry, your honor.. But His Majesty the current King wants to rest.. You can come back tomorrow because the king doesn't want to be bullied this time." William represented the king expelling the concubine Oclariana whose arrival was not at all expected by the current king.
" I'm sorry for my noble deftness, but this is an order from the king's majesty directly." William was undaunted even though he was sure he would continue to be shouted at by the concubine of this king.
" I will not leave until I meet the king's majesty.. Don't get in my way or I'll be reckless." Consort Oclariana pulled out her signature style.
The king, who had prepared to go up to his bed, had abandoned his intentions when he heard his concubine threatening to do so. The king knows very well what is called by reckless doing if the one who says it is his concubine. Finally, the king was forced to meet the concubine Oclariana aga after which he was able to rest in peace.
" Let the concubine in, Will.." the king said from his private room.
" Please come in, your majesty.." William opened the door to Oclariana's concubine who could have guessed how her current facial expression must have looked so overbearing.
" Your highness.. Forgive me for interrupting your rest at night.. However, there are a few things that I must discuss with you." the concubine Oclariana immediately sat down without being invited by the king.
" Please concubine say what you want to talk about.. It is better to discuss quickly because we need a break tonight" said the king impressed to quickly end the conversation tonight.
" It's about the queen's punishment.. Oh sorry, former queen.. Why didn't the tone do the punishment according to the rules in this palace?" the king immediately closed his eyes because he already knew that this was what his concubine would discuss.
" I have some considerations.. And I think as a leader and ruler of this region, I have the right not to say my reasons for treating someone." Oclariana's concubine pursed her lips tightly. Forgetting who he was talking to.
" Hear me, my concubine, don't cross your line or you'll be punished for daring to question the decisions of the leaders and rulers of this region. So it's better if the concubine goes back to her residence and rests." said the king then asked William to take the concubine out of her room.
Outside the king's private residence, several times it was heard that Oclariana's concubine had cursed.His legs even he was knocked to the floor because he was very upset by the king's response regarding the purpose of his arrival to this place.
" If you can't make me feel satisfied because of that cheap woman. mak let me who intervened himself gave a lesson to the future former queen who had no idea the shame of attracting her son and father.." concubine Oclariana grinned at having successfully thought of how to make Maledine suffer.
