The Queen'S Love Scandal
Rouse suspiction

The problem that is now being faced by the Kingdom led by the Damocles family, can not be underestimated. Food shortages in one region alone, now able to shake the barn owned by the palace. All because the king Dierez sent the food minister and also the prime minister to give the palace food barns in deprived areas.

King Dierez even required nobles and ministers to set aside their food products that would later be collected to be sent to areas that were short of food. Although there were some nobles who felt disapproving of this, but if the king had already made a decision, no one would be able to refute him.

The search for the perpetrators who have made the food shortage happen is still continuing under the direct supervision of the prime minister. The king who orders directly, if it must be the prime minister who handles because the only thing the king can trust is the prime minister who is his own brother.

Evidently, the trust that the king had given, produced a very satisfying result. The prime minister finally got the name of the group that had done all these despicable deeds. Only, this group was actually not a group that would act in this manner. So the prime minister suspects that the real mastermind of this event must be people who have power.

" In that case, you must have made a list of the people you suspect, right?" dierez said after hearing reports from Aeolus.

" You are right.. Only, this plot seems to be large-scale. It is quite difficult to eradicate them to their roots." lamented Aeolus.

" Just start with the old prime minister.. It seems he is the most reasonable candidate as the mastermind in this event." said Dierez.

" Why do you think like that?"

" Who else? He most wanted the throne of this kingdom even though he could not ascend the throne.. The purpose of him approaching me just wanted me to really get into his plans and become a puppet king. Then, then I threw it away, roughly in your opinion, it makes no sense, if he's making a fuss right now?"

" Don't you break all the wings?"

" His wings can still grow again, as long as there is greed in man.."

Aeolus was silent at the thought of Dierez's words. The words of Dierez make sense. But there are some things that make Aeolus doubt if this is the work of the former prime minister.

The most source of doubt is the action taken by Dierez four years ago in which all access and facilities of the former prime minister have been withdrawn. Not to mention, Dierez exiled him to the place of exile which is the most violent place in the territory of this kingdom of the middle of nowhere.

There was no word if the former prime minister had fled exile. Then the question becomes, how can he gather strength if out of his seclusion alone he can not.

" He is not someone we can underestimate. He has feet and eyes everywhere. It was not difficult for him to find soldiers loyal to him even though I had cut off his hands and feet." said Dierez, who seemed to know what Aeolus was thinking.

" If that were the case, I would have started to investigate from there" Aoelus finally agreed with Dierez's opinion.

" Investigate also the ministers and officials responsible in the region. Do not forget, to report anyone who comes in and out of the region and its purpose.. Spread out our people and make a disguise there!!!" dierez.

" Okay, your honor.." Aeolus immediately did as Dierez had commanded.

After Aeolus' departure, Dierez was alone in his office. Silent and quiet is already common to be a filler atmosphere in this room. Dierez is very rarely willing to accept a visit in this room unless it's Luke and Aeolus.

This is the safest place where no wall has eyes and ears. This place is very safe because only Dierez and one lady-in-waiting can enter this place besides Luke and Aeolus. This dayang was in charge of cleaning this room and she was Dierez's chosen lady-in-waiting who had sworn death in all of Dierez's decisions.

Is there still a chance to meet again?

Is he still alive or has he left this world?

How's things?

Is their child safe?

Asked a thousand times, in fact never got the answer. Dierez should be tired, and if he's tired, if he should let go, everything disappears from his life.

" Should it be in any other way, so that I can find your whereabouts? Hasn't it been enough in the last four years that you've all punished me?" Dierez complained.

The king who is now famous for his cruel and merciless nature, is currently complaining to no one. In his own time, Dierez can sometimes show that he is not a strong person, as people think so far.

*****************

In accordance with orders from King Dierez, the prime minister investigated one by one the ministers under his auspices. He also investigates those who have power in the area of trouble.

According to what Aeolus had investigated. He could deduce if all the perpetrators were connected by a common thread, and his job was to find that thread so that everyone involved could be known, not getting any meaningful leads from the people the two are investigating. Aeolus actually found an awkwardness that he thought was enough to suspect.

" Are you not wrong in the record-keeping? It is possible that you wrote wrong." asked Aeolus to a man who had been working under his control and was in charge of taking down everything that came out of the gates of the capital.

" I can't possibly make my master's mistake.. I even made sure of myself about this because I had suspicions with the attitude of those people. In my opinion, they have no interest to that place. Again, will not all aid to the place be sent two more days in accordance with the decree of His Majesty king Dierez." this man spoke firmly and loudly, showing that he had done nothing wrong.

" What are the things that they carry? Did you check it?" Aeolus became interested in this discovery.

" Food and medicine. Surprisingly, it is not the food that is in large quantities, but the drugs." replied this man.

" Command your men to keep following them and make sure where those people are sending all that stuff!!!"

" Good my lord.. I'm retiring."

Aeolus did not think about what this man had done when Dierez's condition heated up because of the problems. This guy's goal, inexplicably caught Aeolus' attention. Other than the way this person ended up arousing suspicion, according to Aeolus this person must have been hiding something. It is impossible, according to Aeolus, that this person could not be involved.

But if it continues like this, it can be ascertained if the actual perpetrator is not arrested. The current situation must have been taken advantage of by those evil people. And if that were so, this man would be in danger, for facing the wrath of Dierez Damocles, the tyrant king.
