After Rain's
Episode 10: Political Marriage
Sitting down enjoying the fresh air in the rooftop of the residence palace that was devoted to the royal family was indeed the most convenient time for him. Sipping tea with the aroma of chamomile in it, is soothing.
Seeing the garden with beautiful roses arranged nicely also makes some memories of his past that he does not want to remember back.
But just as a story is strung together, the first memory of her setting foot in this palace as Crown Princess, losing her two sons just as she inhabited this palace made her grimace.
There was no way he would forget about the bitter memories of then, but now, the presence of his third son and also his only living son. At least restore the spirit of his life, restore confidence for him that being a mother is not impossible he felt even though his two sons had previously been snatched from his life.
Cloudy clouds still faithfully gathered together in the sky, rain is the season he really likes. He's half a century older even though people say he doesn't look old. But every time he saw his son grow up and remembered his birthday made him realize, his life was no longer young.
Her mind was burdened, even though she was the Queen of this land, the wife of a ruler. Remembering it wasn't her son who would continue the throne wasn't one thing she regretted. And also, the throne is not his only goal at the moment, for him the happiness and safety of his only son is his first and most priority.
The arrival of Consort Selena yesterday or rather Consort Selena who personally volunteered to chat on the pretext while visiting the queen was the thing she was most aware of. The woman who deliberately entered her life with strong ambitions on the King and the throne would do anything to secure her position.
Fortunately, the rules of the Heiress kingdom allowed the first son of the king to inherit the throne, regardless of whether the son was a child born by a queen or a concubine. If Prince Geralld occupies his current position as Crown Prince, of course Consort Selena will not do anything to injure the queen's son if the title of Crown Prince Geralld is obtained naturally.
But now she knew, as queen she was not weak just that losing her children was not something she could go through again if it was related to Sirius, the only son she had.
Regardless of whether she inherited the throne or became an ordinary prince, the thing she wanted most as a mother was to guarantee her son a safe life without threat. But it seems that Consort Selena is back to teasing what the queen is trying to wake up, the serenity.
“Your Majesty the Queen, your guests have arrived,” said the lady by bowing politely.
He closed his eyes for a while while inhaling the aroma of tea, “I will come soon,” he said without turning his face towards the lady.
Passed away leaving his favorite rooftop with a ladyboy following him behind. The room devoted to receiving the queen's guests personally returned to function after a while she resisted the commotion.
Standing a man in a neat and expensive suit, looking ahead through a large glass window. His proportional body from behind seemed so convincing to people who saw that this man was a beautiful man.
Hearing the door being opened, he immediately turned his body away and arranged a position to honor the host, "ah no, this is the palace," he thought.
To impress her, without further ado this time, the negotiations must succeed. This woman is notoriously tough and witty for a negotiation, but if it touches her weakness and plays worrisome words about her son, it might be worth a shot.
“I hope I don't make you wait too long, Prince Regulus,” he said while arranging his sitting position.
Prince Regulus responded with a fleeting smile and a friendly countenance, “don't worry too much, Her Majesty Queen Soraya,” he replied.
“Thank you for your flattery, Her Majesty The Queen,” said Prince Regulus. While examining Queen Soraya's expression, the long-standing pleasantries did not seem to be her style. While comforting his sitting position, it is time to convey the purpose and purpose of this meeting.
“I hope, You and His Majesty the King are Always healthy. Before this, I do not want to mince words for too long, Her Majesty the Queen,” said Prince Regulus. Give pause to the sentence he said. “ I have previously met with Prince Sirius, but I think Prince Sirius did not discuss it with you, Her Majesty the Queen,” continued Prince Regulus.
Seriously so as not to be considered playful and not to leave his friendly temperament, he waited for a response from Queen Soraya.
Queen Soraya smiled, this very beautiful woman with skin as smooth as porcelain and a large slice as black charcoal slightly narrowed showing she was trying to smile politely guarding her noble class.
“Prince Sirius is not very open about his personal problems with me, but.. I think, I have a lot of time to listen about Prince Regulus meeting my son,” he said then sip tea that has been prepared by the ladies.
“Ah.. Her Majesty The Queen...” Prince Regulus paused her words, “...I personally offer a wedding between Prince Sirius and my daughter, Princess Aquila,” she said.
Queen Soraya was surprised, but because she was trained, she was able to hide her surprise in front of Prince Regulus.
“I don't think this is a sudden one, Prince Regulus. Many do not know that Sirius is the second prince of Heiress. But I am impressed with you,” replied Queen Soraya.
Prince Regulus laughed, “I consider it a compliment, Her Majesty the Queen,”.
“But.like planning a wife or royal wedding is not like a conglomerate family in general. There will be many considerations, although I am sure.” Queen Soraya looks seriously at Prince Regulus, “...
Silent.. Prince Regulus and Queen Soraya waited for one of them to continue the conversation. But as Prince Regulus seems to have succeeded, he wants answers to his requests rather than fruitless pleasantries.
Queen Soraya cleared her throat, “As a mother and Queen of this country, I hope to meet in person with Princess Aquila,” said Queen Soraya firmly.
“I'm looking forward to it, Your Grace. There's nothing better than getting to know a son-in-law personally. Of course.” Said Prince Regulus, smiling kindly. The initial goal was achieved. It made the Queen interested in his offer.
"And it would be better for me to talk about this with my son. Prince Sirius is not an easy person to agree with" the queen said. Again he sipped his tea casually, considering that he had repeatedly offered marriage to his son but the results were nil.
And with confidence the Prince of Magellan offered marriage to the Heiress royal family, instead of offering it to Crown Prince Geralld from the beginning.
"I understand, Her Majesty the Queen. I have known it" said Prince Regulus.
