Winter is coming again, and soon I will be 11 years old . The servants were very enthusiastic about preparing a small party in the palace for my birthday. Many gifts are piled up every year in the living room of my palace.
This year Albert sent a very beautiful jeweled hairpin with a bouquet of white roses, I put the clasp on, and put the rose in my bedroom vase . We and the family ate together, followed by eating a strawberry cake tower made specifically by the palace chef every year . The atmosphere was so happy that Queen Carissa asked .
" Clea, what do you want this year as your birthday present ? " ask the Queen with a smile
" But promise me first that mom will grant her "ask me back
" Hihii of course dear, mother will grant her as long as it is not impossible "the Queen replied with a laugh
" Father Mother, Clea wants to learn military strategy and martial arts" I said firmly
King Damien stopped, put down his cutlery and looked at me, Queen Carissa's smile disappearing on her face . I kept looking at them with confidence that I was not joking .
" Can't, only a crown prince can study military in the royal family "reject King Damien outright
" But I'm the sole heir to the empire" I argue
" But you're a dear princess" replied Queen Carissa subtly
" If so make me the Crown Princess "my answer frontally made everyone surprised .
Queen Carissa immediately turned pale, the chefs and servants had already come out from earlier, remaining Deenna who stood behind me trembling in fear because of my statement, as well as Felix the King's personal knight who frowned while glancing at me . Everyone was still silent, King Damien was still staring at me as if he was looking at my plan I stared back at him undaunted .
.
.
Silent for a moment,
.
.
" You have decided this from a long time" said the King as if stating not asking me a question
" Yes "my answer firmly states my true intentions
" Go !!! ponder all your words earlier in your room !! " snap King Damien
I was shocked for a moment, this was the first time since I arrived here King Damien snapped at me . After a moment of surprise, I came to my senses and saluted the King and Queen and went towards my room .
" Clea .. "call Queen Carrissa quietly .
But I kept walking straight and did not turn my head as if I had not heard her .
King Damien rose from his seat, with a complex look on his face . Queen Carissa was still sitting sad alone at the dinner table . Eating together at a joyous birthday event ended in chaos instead .
Inside the study, King Damien sat pensively thinking about the words of his daughter . Clea had already decided to want to be her replacement, though, he could not deny or deny it directly because he himself realized that he was not the true heir of the Benedicte Empire and now his daughter the heir to the original imperial blood wanted to become a King .
It was not impossible for Clea to actually become a female Emperor due to the many empires that made women emperors, but they were small kingdoms and tended to be viewed weakly by other empires .
While the Benedicte Empire is a wealthy kingdom that has the largest diamond-producing mining compared to other kingdoms . The former King was aware of this so much that he did not make his daughter Carissa a female Emperor due to her gentle nature, whereas the Benedicte Kingdom needed a stern King to protect the Empire .
The former King also decided to appoint him who came from a military family to teach and train him alone to be made a successor to the throne who is loyal to the heir of the imperial family blood . Too late with his mind King Damien did not hear if the door of the room was knocked until Felix reprimanded him .
" His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen has come to meet" Felix reported
" Please enter" replied King Damien
Queen Carissa entered with a feeling of anxiety and sadness that was clearly reflected in the look on her face .
" His Majesty." said the Queen slowly .
King Damien smiled calmly, then led the Queen to sit on the sofa .
" You need not worry, I am not at all offended by Clea's words . I understand with the intention of the girl, I'll talk to her again tomorrow to see if she's sure of her wishes . There I am here, you do not need to think of anything take care of your own health" said the King pacified .
Although King Damien was already Emperor he still treated Queen Carissa with courtesy .
" I understand "the Queen said as she nodded
Queen Carissa was aware that Clea's nature was not the same as her weak one . Queen Carissa leaned on King Damien's shoulders thinking that she was lucky to have a reliable partner in any situation .
" If only we had a son "the Queen chirps suddenly
" Make it ??? " the Queen asked confusedly and turned to look at King Damien who smiled meaningfully . He suddenly understood then his face turned red and lowered his head .
King Damien who saw his partner embarrassed, he also teased "My queen, can I get her now ?? " whispered King Damien in his ear, Queen Carissa also nodded slowly while looking down her face more red until the ears .
King Damien, who obtained permission, raised Queen Carissa and sat her on her thigh while hugging her waist so as not to fall Queen Carissa was a little surprised when King Damien lifted her up so that she gave a soft cry , she also held the sturdy shoulder of her husband while looking at him . King Damien raised his hand to gently caress his delicate wife's cheeks in fear of injuring her with his rough palms .
" my wife is very beautiful" she said softly
Queen Carissa smiled as she tilted her head rubbing her cheek on the King's palm she was acting spoiled . The view of King Damien was darkened he pulled his waist and slowly kissed his lips exactly the same as his daughter, Queen Carissa responded by draping her hand to the neck of King Damien .
The kiss deepened to the point that****** lip , then King Damien bit the Queen's lower lip so that her mouth was slightly open, King Damien immediately put his tongue wrapped around the little tongue of the Queen teasing him and explore every cavity of his mouth then***** and continue ******* exhausted until Queen Carissa was out of breath she let go .
Then he turned to the neck of the white stripe Queen Carissa licked it, biting it so small that it left a lot of red marks that contrasted with the Queen's pure white skin . King Damien took off the corset over the Queen's clothes, and tore off the rough of her underwear to the bare body of Queen Carissa's well-preserved upper body even though she was no longer young, king Damien's hand went around Queen Carissa's breast stroking and squeezing it gently Queen Carissa gave a slow shriek, then she buried her face on King Damien's shoulder .
King Damien, who saw his wife ready, carried her in his arms and took her to his private dugout to continue their activities .
On the other hand Clea walked towards her room angrily, she was angry because of her parents' attitude which was like not allowing me to become the Crown Princess . Behind him Deenna who knew the problem looked down afraid to speak but worried about the state of the Princess then he occasionally glanced anxiously at her . Suddenly Princess Clea who was walking in front of him stopped, then turned around saying
" I'm not going to the room, I'm going to the library" Clea said suddenly
" Daughter, say. "unfinished Deenna said in pieces by Clea.
" What ?? you dare to ban me now ?? " asked Clea fiercely
" No Princess, this servant does not dare to do so " Said Deenna fearfully
" Have forgotten it, there is no need to accompany me I am fine, I just want to myself to cool my head down" Clea said quickly as she passed towards the palace library .
' Right, I'm not wrong then why should I reflect on my attitude inside the room like a little boy' my inner self
I got to the palace library, I haven't been here in years, ' in retrospect I've only spent less than 3 months studying here, well I'll look around again clearly now ' thought I went inside, I locked the door from the inside so no one would bother me . I strolled around the bookshelves picking up books that looked interesting until I reached the corner shelf near the stairs that held the dusty ancient history books that were rarely touched .
I walked over and stumbled a little on the nail that was sticking out on the corner of the bookshelf . I cursed while rubbing my sore toes and looked down to pick up my book that had fallen off earlier suddenly the attention was drawn to a book that was not dusty at all in the corner under the dirty bookshelf, which was a dirty one, you wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't really looked down to touch the floor .
I squatted down wanting to pick it up and when I pulled it the book didn't move like it was stuck on the floor, I tried to shift it to the left-right remained motionless, I scrunched up confused but grew curious ' in the lift can not, in the slide also can not, how about on the press' I thought then pressed the book a little then the book sank to the floor along with the sound ' jeglek ' that sounds loud in that quiet library .
I was surprised, fell down and stood up suddenly to forget that this corner bookcase on which there was a ladder as a result of my head hit the wooden stairs above my head.
Dugh,
" Fuck !!! Ah... pain "my curse while stroking my head .
I also looked around looking for the origin of the sound, then saw there was a gap between the shelf in the front corner of me with a bookcase next to him I tried to push the bookshelf was very easy I thought . Behind the bookshelf was a long dark hallway that did not know where to go, I was worried about whether to go or not .
Until I finally did not know why my feet had entered and the bookshelf behind me closed automatically, I was shocked to fear turning suddenly while fumbling frantically against the back wall of the bookshelf, and then the back of the bookshelf, then suddenly the small crystal lamp on the wall automatically turned on so that the hallway looked bright, I kept looking around for the button to open the bookshelf again when I saw the small crystal lamp on the right slightly dim from the left so I tried to move it and the bookshelf opened
" Huft... shit scares me half to death" I said with a sigh . Now that I knew the bookshelf could be opened from the inside then I turned to walk towards the long hallway .
' There's a secret room in the library, does aysh know huh ?? is this one of the secret exits that war times use like in those movies ?? Ah could it also lead to a secret room containing precious items ?? Ah shit !!! it could also lead to a dungeon !!! Ah... why did I come in here earlier ' thought I was becoming more so
I walked so long that I no longer knew if I was walking straight or turning . I don't know how many hours I've been walking until I see an iron ladder attached to the wall and on it looks like a small door, I lift around my skirt so I can climb up the stairs, it's kind of hard 'cause I'm wearing a heavy, complicated dress this morning for my birthday .
I climbed up and pushed the door open, I stuck my head out to see the situation . It looked like in a small house that had not been occupied for a long time, I began to crawl out and my head was stung again because of the secret door that was under the bed .
Dugh,
" Ah .... "my groan.
I went around the room rubbing my head, I'm not sure if my head isn't bumping right now .
The house is not large just one bedroom, and a small living room along with kitchen and bathroom on the side . This house is like not taken care of and left for years sometimes I see rats hiding under the furniture . I shuddered amusedly, then walked towards the dusty window, wiped it slightly with the tip of my dress then looked outside .
Seen unkempt yard with very long wild grass and thick trees as well as wooden fences that are covered with tendrils almost collapsed completely see the distance seen dense trees that look like forests .
' Where is this ??? is this really still in his territory of the imperial city ?? ' my inner
I walk towards the door, the door is locked walk see the window is also locked . The whole house is locked . Then I went back to the front door lifting my skirt a little and kicking it . The door opens with one of them collapsing ' whoever the owner is, this is your fault that's not strong ' I thought . I walked outside looking right left while tidying up my dress patting the dust on it, thinking that this house was built in the middle of the forest .
I walked down the stairs to the rocky road in the yard which was covered with grass very high fear of a snake hiding I walked quickly towards the gate which was not in the key and then looked back . There is a sighting of an old wooden house that is dilapidated because it is not taken care of, so that people who see will not think if it is hidden a secret path towards the imperial palace .
I walked out of the rusty iron gate, turned to the left right not knowing the direction I finally turned to the right then walked while looking around . The sun was very hot, maybe it was midday I was thirsty my stomach was getting hungry what else I had walked so long in the secret passage that my legs hurt .
I was sitting under a tree really regretting my decision earlier which went rash just out of curiosity . Suddenly I heard the sound of my horseshoes and immediately looked up, seeing from the left there was a man riding on a horse I immediately stood up while waving my hands so that he would see and stop . The horse got closer and stopped 2 meters from me, I walked closer to see a teenage man sitting on it .
