THE SECRET BEHIND CURTAIN 27

"Yes mother, I'm still alive." Said Khan Freedly weakly, while replying to the embrace of queen Khanya, "mother, kiki innocent even she saved me. I beg you to recant his punishment." Khan Freedly prostrated himself in front of Queen Khanya.

Queen Khanya who could not bear to see her son prostrate, immediately woke her, "alright. When I saw you show up here, I'd already recanted his sentence. So stand up my son." Queen Khanya founded Khan Freedly who was prostrating in front of him.

"Thank you mom, uhuk uhuk," Khan Freedly's voice raspy and coughing. Seeing that the queen Khanya immediately sent Khan Freedly in between to Khan Freedly's room to rest.

"Rest, Freedly, you're still sick" said the worried queen Khenya. "and Miyuki, you're being released from punishment." he added.

Miyuki wiped away her tears and smiled, "thank you, your majesty." even though it was removed, Miyuki's tears still came out but Miyuki still kept smiling it was tears of happiness.

Queen Khanya smiled faintly, "I'm sorry for being too rash to make a decision. Since you saved a royal, you deserve a reward. I'll give you the title of Baroness Althea (healer), and as my apology, you'll rise to the rank of chief steward of Khan Freedly's court."

wh-what?! already got a promotion, but I also got a noble title?! inner Miyuki. "Thank you, queen." Miyuki bowed in gratitude.

"You don't have to thank me, you deserve it" Queen Khanya said.

King Brayen grinned, since she is now a noble despite not having any fiefdom, I will be a little easier to make her my queen.

Khan Freedlay smiled happily, although now Miyuki was no longer his lady-in-waiting but she was relieved Miyuki was not sentenced to death. Then he glanced at the doctor Khan Freedly who was worried about himself because of his accusations against Miyuki.

"So, doctor can you be responsible for your accusations against Miyuki?" sindir Khan Freedlay's. Because of his words the attention of Queen Khanan moved to the doctor.

" For on groundless charge, court physician Khan Freedly will be lashed fifty times and not allowed to enter the royal court of Khan again, the court closed." Queen Khannya gave the decree, then left the room with Khan Freedly.

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to expel me! your Majesty please!!" yelling pleads from the doctor, then he was dragged to the whip and then expelled from the Khan kingdom.

All the witnesses who were there one by one came out of the courtroom. Khan Freedlay hugged Miyuki. "Thank God nothing happened to you Miyuki."

"I told you, I'm innocent." Miyuki returned Khan Freedlay's embrace. Very close between the two of them. In the middle of it King Brayen cleared his throat. Miyuki and Khan Freedlay took off their arms.

"Welcome miss on her ascension, oh not miss now but.. Lady Althea?" king Brayen said with a smile.

Princess Charl runs into Miyuki, "Lady Althea!! congratulations on rising up! now Lady is a noble can I invite Lady to the noble lady's tea party?" Princess Charl smiled widely.

"Eh. I'm still not used to the call, so-" Miyuki's words were cut off because of Khan Freedlay's words. "Obviously or not you should start getting used to that call Lady" Khan Freedlay said.

"Enough, we know each other so just call me Miyuki."

Everyone there laughed. With a soft greeting, the Crown Princess of the S.E kingdom, S.Elani Viviana congratulated. "Congratulations Lady Althea, would you like to be friends with me too?" He said with a gentle smile.

Miyuki was moved, she was happy to make a new friend, "the princess, if you want to be friends with me, then it was an honor for me. Thank you princess" said Miyuki.

"Geez, can I call you Miyuki too? in exchange you can call me Elani." Princess S.Elani Viviana.

"Good Elani's daughter."

Shamefully - embarrassed Princess S.Elena Violani congratulated, "congratulations Miyuki- uh I mean Lady Althea."

"Thank you princess" Miyuki said with a smile, she was surprised that this hostile princess had changed for the better.

"Don't you listen to Miyuki, she's just jealous" Princess Charl said sarcastically facing Princess Lailin's exit.

"Yes, I won't listen to you." Miyuki said with a smile.

Prince Leovan Ling Charl approached Princess Charl, "Lin let's go back to our room you should rest, and congratulations to you Lady."

"Thank you,"

"All right, brother, come on." Princess Lin and prince Leovan returned to their specially prepared place in the Khan kingdom.

"We're also saying goodbye first, Miyuki. See you." said Princess Elani. Then the two princesses of S.E kingdom went to their special place.

"Dead of the three of us, Lady Althea, if you'd like you to go walking with me?" King Brayen.

"I don't allow it." Khan Freedlay mediates them.

"She's no longer your Khan Freedlay. So you have no right to ban Miyuki."

Khan Freedlay could not say anything else because it was true what King Brayen said that he had no rights over Miyuki.

"It's enough, you two are walking, I want to rest." There have been many incidents that happened to me, I'm tired I need time alone.

"See you, prince, and your majesty the king." Miyuki lowered her head in greeting and walked out of the courtroom.

After getting out and walking some distance from the courtroom he met his friends, Iris, Marylin, and Lala. Miyuki's tears arrived - they just came out on their own.

The three of them hugged Miyuki, "It's okay Miyuki, everything is done you'll be fine." Marylin.

"Right, you'll be fine Miyuki, you're already out of a big crisis, you're a brave girl" said Iris's encouragement.

"Yes you're a brave girl, you're a great Miyuki!" said fairy lala with spirit.

"Thank you guys." Miyuki said with her tears rubbed.

"Don't cry, you're ugly if you cry." Said the fairy lala mockingly, although she herself also cried a little.

The four of them walked together towards the servant's special room.

In Miyuki's room, they helped clean up Miyuki's belongings to the special room of palace manager Khan Freedly.

"Miyuki, I heard that in addition to being the second prince's palace attendant you also got the title of nobility right?" ask Iris.

"Right, why Iris? " miyuki said nervously, are they going to stay away from me because I am now a noble? i'mfrightened..
