Episode 15: The Story of the East Residence
The East Residence which is now used by the Crown Princess Candidate, was once reserved for the Crown Princess. It was once called the Eastern Palace because it was located in the east of the main palace where His Majesty the King ruled and also in the east of the main residence of the royal family.
The country of Magellan long before the renewal of various models of government has a residence called "palace" but for today to simplify and intended not to rival the majesty of the main palace where the main royal palace of His Majesty the King ruled, the palaces are now renamed to “kediaman”, the palace is now named, of course by naming each residence.
Once upon a time, the election of the Crown Princess was chosen when the Crown Prince was five years old. Even if the future Crown Princess at that time was not born into the world, the power of the prospective family Princess Mahkotalah who holds the King's word. And if the noble family chosen until the age of the Crown Prince stepped ten years in the end did not have a daughter with a younger age than the Crown Prince, the royal party has the right to choose daughters from other noble families.
The East residence of the most famous Crown Princess gave birth to smart, graceful and beautiful queens. When the future Crown Princess was ten years old, she already had to live in the Eastern Residence, learn royal etiquette and other lessons with special teachers together with the Crown Prince.
Another Crown Prince who remains with his family, and will inhabit the eastern residence with the Crown Princess after they are officially married. The crown prince is not given the right to have a wife other than the Crown Princess before the Crown Prince officially ascends to the throne as King, in other words having a concubine while still in status as Crown Prince is forbidden. The consequence was that he was demoted from a Crown Prince to an ordinary Prince and had to live outside the royal family residence.
This law is absolutely must be obeyed by the royal family even princes who have the status as princes can not have concubines or other women other than his legal wife. Through these laws and regulations, the Magellan state wanted to show that the state and the family of the King of this country were very concerned about the position of women as someone with dignity.
Polaris looked at the outside view through the car window that was driven not too tight, he was eager to lay himself in a soft mattress in his room. His body was tired, his mind was tired too. That guy's been keeping up with the news lately.
After being involved in a scandal with him, this man is rumored to have a special relationship with his cousin. Looks like he began to be interested in calling his name alone rather than constantly calling “men it”. “Sirius..” was told that name was attached to the man. His information is more about his education, his business, his association and his closeness with young women from among the widely known public.
Every now and then he sees an internet search on his cell phone and occasionally looks out through the windshield of a car wet with drizzling water that gradually gets closer to the earth.
“Mr Princess..”.
“Polaris..”.
“Polaris..” while shaking the palm of Polaris holding his phone tightly, his mother tried to resuscitate him from daydreams.
Polaris flinched, his mind which was filled with Sirius with a flutter of light, disappearing.
“Mama called you since earlier,” she said worriedly while stroking Polaris black hair. Polaris cheeks look blustery from the cold and the effects of fatigue, “. I hope we can go back and rest if you are tired. But we can't break the royal family tradition.” Follow mother. As her only daughter and living away from the family, she could understand that her mother was so worried.
Polaris closed her eyes for a moment, adjusted her breathing and her thoughts, “no mama, I'm fine. I'm tired but it's okay, so stop worrying like that. Okay.” Polaris convinced his mother.
Queen Rose who had briefly glanced at the phone owned by Polaris felt she could no longer hide the questions in her mind. Maybe it's time to talk about something more serious with your only daughter, about men for example.
“Is there something you want to tell mom, baby…? Queen Rose asked softly.
Views Polaris diverted, “Ah. What should I say.” Said.
Queen Rose smiled, clasped Polaris' hand, giving isayarat that her daughter can tell her mother anything, even about men though. “Is there a guy you like?”
“Sirius Windsor.”
“What?” Polaris surprised.
“Prince Regulus met her personally and offered her an engagement. From reliable information, Sirius Windsor has a relationship with Consort Selena of Heiress. Because simultaneously there is also Consort Selena at their meeting place.” Queen Rose told this because she wanted to see her daughter's reaction, seeing the reaction of surprise and disbelief in what she said, it seems like this news has not appeared in the media.
“Mama... Why did mama tell me this?”
“Because we are also looking for a future husband for you.”
“So? Who?” Ask Polaris curiously. At first she wanted to have her own man but given her strained relationship with Saga a few months ago her desire to find a husband of her own has been lost.
It might be better to let the royal family find a future husband for her and arrange her marriage. At least his family wouldn't compare him to a bad guy, who wasn't good at leaving, for example.
Queen Rose let out a small laugh, it seemed like the excessive worry earlier had been replaced by her current sense of happiness. His daughter did not refuse to give up her life companion on the part of the royal family. He was prepared for the rejection of his daughter.
“Second prince of Heiress.”
“They have Crown Prince Geralld and already have a candidate for Crown Princess. Does it matter if my potential partner is not from Magellan?”
“Our country has renewed the royal marriage law, but there may be some people who do not approve it. They are safer if the royal family lineage comes from pure Magellan.” Queen Rose explained it to Polaris and hoped her daughter would not have to worry about public opinion.
Polaris was not the heir to the throne but for his daughter to have a high social status in the future, The King and Queen agree not to pair it with a noble if there are still single princes in other countries who have good relations with Magellan.
“Ah... east residence is already visible, prepare Princess. You have to be nice later, this is your maiden appearance.” Said Queen Rose.
“Mama. Just a simple banquet get to know each other with between several women.” Answer Polaris lazy.
Queen Rose again laughed lightly by covering her lips with her left hand, “of course. Remember..in this banquet after the Queen, your status is the highest.”
“Aquila is here?” Ask Polaris curiously.
“Of course, we're still family. If you want to see Sirius Windsor's fiancee up close,” says his mother teased him... “.. ah not yet. I thought it was still a potential fiancee,” he added.
