After Rain's

Episode 8: The Prince Who Wanted

During the turbulent relationship between Endora and Magellan, King Fomalhaut was based at the military base of Alua, the border of the two countries. After the pseudo-victory over Endora, the country immediately coordinated with the foreign minister and defense minister to strike a peace treaty. King Fomalhaut was ready if he had to share the results of the oil mining in Alua.

After the capital of Endora was made up in the fog, what King Fomalhaut wanted was a peaceful declaration from the state of Endora. Nothing is more important than making things conducive again, considering there will be a big day for Magellan in a few days. The palace did not want to make public opinion, held the wedding ceremony of the Crown Prince amid the war raging.

It's like waiting for the seconds the enemy will take in the blanket, the reason his sister made this stragtegi is really worthy of praise. In front of him to take the hearts of the higher-ups, on the other hand this is the opportunity he came out of Magellan without suspicion besides having business because of the war and leave after frozen his mission in Endora was successful and untraceable. Either since when his younger brother had ambitions to overthrow his government, staged a secret coup without being noticed by other higher ups, along with the support of the powerful nobles at his side.

During this time as King, he was always silent, hoping that his brother would change and return to the way he was supposed to. But it seems he, as the King of this land, must step in to secure his little family after he learned the fact 25 years ago that the mastermind behind the death of his first son was his own younger brother, Prince Regulus.

His son, Prince Alpheratz, had to die from smallpox that was deliberately injected into his small body. As King, he was very angry but he could not subvert his younger brother, his influence as the second Prince who was hailed was very strong among nobles and conglomerates. It is not difficult if they all unite to reverse the facts to overthrow his throne.

The only way he could do to ensure his family would stay alive was to hide the whereabouts of his heir until the time came. But ever since Prince El Nath left for Heiress to visit his sister Polaris, his heart has been unsettled. Like something's gonna happen. And sure enough, the bodyguard escorting the Crown Prince reported that Prince El Nath met the Crown Prince on the Blue Shaphire yacht in Heiress state. And according to the spy whom he personally sent, his sister also met Consort Selena.

Not a good thing considering Consort Selena was able to survive in a member of the Heiress kingdom thanks to her son who was born earlier than Queen Soraya's son and made him Crown Prince, heir to the Heiress state.

King Fomalhaut's mind grew increasingly confused, his sister acting all the way to Heiress' country and possibly forging a secret cooperation with Consort Selena. Until Phillip who was facing before him was not heard. King Fomalhaut gasped in surprise when Phillip called him a little loudly. Rubbing his face with his hands and letting his eyes shut for a moment, he listened to the report of what Phillip was going to deliver this time.

Phillip sat in the chair right in front of his desk, speaking as King Fomalhaut began to focus again, “Your Highness, Prince Regulus met a man named Sirius Windsor.” He said he paused his sentence a little when he was sure King Fomalhaut was unmoved, “.. Consorts Selena as the intermediary for their meeting, it is still unknown what they discussed. But according to provisional information, Sirius Windsor is a businessman in the field of technology and it happens that the Magellan state and the Heiress state build cooperation in the field of technology," explained Phillip.

King Fomalhaut seemed to think, “it should be a man named Sirius Windsor is quite important to Prince Regulus until he himself has to fly from the country of Endora to the country of Heiress.

Phillip, investigate more about Sirius and the companies he is responsible for.” King Fomalhaut. His left finger he tapped several times on the table, a sign he was thinking about his next move. “And, did Prince Regulus get to meet Polaris?” Ask King Fomalhaut.

“Sure, I guess that's one of his goals besides meeting Consort Selena. And according to Prince El Nath's bodyguard, Princess Polaris personally requested Allen to be her personal bodyguard.”

“Final students at Megellan National University took a one-year leave to attend military education,” Phillip added.

“Hmmm... Then you take care of his move from his current university to the same university as Polaris. And take care of where he lives, try to make one apartment with Polaris or at least close to Polaris.” King Fomalhaut.

Phillip looks excited, “Siap His Majesty. And incidentally Allen's major is Informatics Engineering and active in the forum of technological development. It would be easy to investigate Sirius Windsor by placing Allen as an intern at his company.” Phillip was already thinking about his surveillance strategy, this was the right subtle way.

“Find out also the personal life of Sirius Windsor, Phillip. Must be detail, because I have to know why Prince Regulus is so interested in the boy and why engagement requests from families as good as Messier should be suspended his request.” The King of Fomalhaut. He was so curious.

“I will make sure I report as soon as possible. Excuse me Your Majesty.” Phillip then left King Fomalhaut's office.

He seems to know why Prince El Nath never returned to Magellan, because he feared Polaris was in danger. Before the news of Prince Regulus returned to Magellan, as long as Prince El Nath will remain beside Polaris.

Now King Fomalhaut feels really tired, being a king is not as easy as he imagined, let alone the system of government that is embraced is the system of Absolute Monarchy. His head felt very dizzy, tomorrow he had to welcome King Saga of Endora at the palace for a deal, today he remembered, had not contacted his two children. Looks like his wife was right, he already had to think about his daughter's fiancee candidate, Polaris.

He remembered choosing the Crown Prince of Heiress as a candidate, because his status was prince, but he paused because Prince Geralld was not the child born by Queen Soraya. Although Prince Geralld is the next king candidate but it is not impossible that Queen Soraya's son suddenly appeared and there was a struggle for the throne. As King and a father, he would not if his daughter were among the brotherly quarrels.

Queen Rose will be observant in finding a candidate for her daughter, it seems like she will look for the existence of the prince of the mysterious Heiress as her plan from the beginning. Or maybe the Prince Regulus meeting had something to do with the prince of the two Heiress countries.

All these possibilities he made really made him dizzy. If so, it would mean that the last princess of Prince Regulus will be the fiance of the prince of the mysterious Heiress. If true, Prince Regulus should have met the mysterious prince instead of meeting with the president director of an orange tech company.

A guess crossed his mind, “what don't-don't Sirius be that guy,” he murmured. All his questions and anxieties will be answered when Phillip completes his task, comforting him to himself. Now King Fomalhaut could not stop his right hand from massaging his dizzy forehead. He needs more rest, he thought.
