Early Bride [TAMAT]

#12 The King has Many Wives

" you're a girl, you should be better at cooking than I am."

" yeah, I'll study with the queen mother." 😒

" don't burn my palace."

" isshh!! 😒 Ehh, by the way where is your coach? Where are the other people training here??"

" did you forget?? I told you it was just the two of us. I already kicked them out. Any smart student like me would like to be trained."

" you're driving out??"

" yes.." 😎 said Arthur haughtily.

It's getting dark, I've eaten all the food that Arthur cooked. The bird meat was delicious too. 😋 I don't have to worry about starving if I get lost in the forest later, if I'm with Arthur. 😁

" prince.." 😰 said a grown man who suddenly appeared as we warmed up in front of the bonfire.

" what's up??" arthur said with a little panic because of the look on the adult man's face.

" king Khufra.. That's.. Uncle prince.. He's coming to the castle." 😰

" what the??!! When??"

" just now, prince."

" we're going to the castle now!!" 😡 said Arthur angrily.

He didn't even care about the tent that was still scattered. But he just walked straight towards the forest, where was he going?? Didn't we come here on a horse?? 😳 Why are you walking now?? Wait, this.. 😳 Since when is there a luxury hotel here??!! 😱 Why do we bother to catch fish and shoot birds if there is ready food here?? 😫 Why we try to warm ourselves with a campfire, shelter under a small tent. Here we can sleep comfortably. 😫

" Justin!! Why didn't you say there was a hotel here??" 😫

" i told you we're going to survival practice, if at the hotel what's the point of the rehearsal??"

" but it's.." 😩

" you should be able to do what I'm doing right now. You have to survive if you get lost in the woods. If I wasn't there, you'd already know what to do to survive."

" if I have to get lost, then it has to be with you." 😞

" i won't be by your side forever, you have to keep that."

Arthurian.. What are you saying this time is not a joke like usual?? 😟 You dragged me into that complicated life, you said you'd protect me. Then why do you say you won't be by my side forever?? 😢 I can do if you're not by my side anymore.

" aiahh!!" arthur shouted as we arrived at the castle.

" wah.. Gee.. The newlyweds have come home." said an uncle who I guessed from the look on his proud face he was his uncle Arthur. King Khufra..

" where is my father??!!" 😡

" hey.. Oi.. Oi.. Little boy don't get emotional yet, your father is chatting with us in the living room. And I'm here to welcome home your newlyweds. Is this your reply to your uncle??" uncle Khufra said.

" ahh.. Sorry uncle, Arthur is tired today. So a little emotion because of the sudden arrival of uncle.." 😅 said I tried to restrain Arthur's emotions.

" ohh, is this your wife Arthur?? Very sweet." said uncle Khufra while holding my chin.

I can't believe Arthur brushed it off so hard.

" don't touch my wife!!!" 😡

Arthurian.. 😳 My heart is really touched.. 😢

" yes, yes, okay.. He's yours, have him as much as you. Come in, your father is waiting." said uncle Khufra.

We went in, I saw a lot of people gathered there. Are there important things to talk about here?? 😕 I saw the queen mother and her majesty, there was Aunt Kagura there too. There's someone who looks the same age as the queen mother. I remember, the Queen Mother once said that Uncle Khufra had a wife from the kingdom of Hogwarts. Her name.. 🤔 Ginny, yes Ginny.. I sat down next to Arthur. Wait in the corner over there.. It's kan.. 😳

" daughter of Silvanna??" 😱 I spontaneously mentioned his name.

Woefully everyone there heard my voice.

" i.. Ja.. Mother." 😰 I'm right2 speechless.

Because here I am the only one from the common people. If I had revealed the bully back then, it would not have been Silvanna's daughter who would have been punished. But me and the queen's mother's family will be humiliated. 😟

" don't you know that Silvanna and Naya went to school with me?? That means Naya and Silvanna are also one school, who does not know Silvanna's princess." 😒 said Arthur with a slightly cynical tone.

Maybe he's back to remembering the time when I was bullied by Silvanna, and that's because I was carried by him.

" yes, mother. I knew Naya, and of course we were good friends even if we met for a little while" Silvanna said.

What the?? Mum?? She called the queen mother a mother too?? 😳

" maybe Naya forgot, at that time I had introduced myself. That I was the youngest child of the first Queen of the kingdom of Hogwarts. And of course my brother, Ginny, is the wife of his uncle Arthur. But I forgot to tell Naya that I was her childhood friend Arthur." ☺ Silvanna continued.

Wha what?? Oh yeah, I just remembered.. 😳

" Naya?? I just found out your name but I haven't introduced myself to you, have I??" said Silvanna's daughter who had waited a long time.

" uhh, yes princess. Please introduce yourself."

" i am Silvanna, the youngest daughter of the first Queen of the kingdom of Hogwarts. As princess, I will punish you."

So she.. And his wife's uncle Khufra.. From the same kingdom?? And even those are brothers?? 😳

" yes Silvanna is okay. After all, now that Naya knows, you can be closer friends." replied the queen mother.

Making friends closer? I could die if I was left alone with her. 😱

" but it's unfortunate, yes. When Arthur and Naya got married, I was not present. That's because I had a visit to the orphanage. I had an appointment with the kids there." said Silvanna.

" an orphanage?? This Silvanna princess turned out to have a very good heart. It's okay, don't feel bad. Besides, it's just Arthur's first wedding, and if he wants to get married, then you have to attend." continued the queen mother.

Whataa?? 😳 Marry again?? Why does my chest feel so tight and painful.. 😣 Besides why if Arthur wants to have many wives later?? Aren't many kings married to expand their territories?? 😞 Then why should I feel unwilling?? I should have been able to accept something like this when I accepted this marriage as well.

" i'm willing to be Arthur's next wife candidate, mother. That's if mom and dad approve. After all I was Arthur's childhood friend, getting married or not still made no difference." Silvanna said so boldly.

Is it appropriate for a princess to speak like this?? 😳

" that's.. Turns out this was the reason Silvanna's daughter chose not to attend Arthur's wedding before??" 😄 hatch the queen mother in a joking laugh.

" no, that's not Carmilla. What I mean here is also to discuss it." said uncle Khufra who suddenly spoke up.

In a moment the atmosphere full of laughter turned serious. I just heard without responding to their conversation. But I saw Arthur too, he only heard but did not speak. But I see there's a lot of things he's thinking about right now. He just lowered his head, occasionally frowning and rubbing his forehead.

" what is it about?" paduka.

As the air had started to cool, the conversation began in a more sensitive direction. We wives and little geeks could only remain silent.

" the marriage of Arthur and Silvanna" replied Khufra's uncle.

" what do you mean?? Didn't Arthur get married yesterday?? Even their marriage age hasn't been two days."

" listen to me, if you want your territory to be wider. At least you have to sacrifice something."

" you mean, I have to sacrifice my son's life for that?? No. gabe.. I'd rather have a little power, but my people are prosperous. Rather than continue to expand power, but can not take care of the people all well."

" ohh, are you insinuating me??" hatch uncle Khufra.

" i'm not insinuating anyone. What is clear is that I already know what you mean, I will not give my territory a single meter to you!!" 😡 paduka start bluffing.

" however that territory is my right!! You don't want to give it!!"

I don't know what happened until the atmosphere warmed up. The queen mother advised me to leave the room. Maybe because he was afraid I was involved.

I thought Arthur would come out with me. But it was just me and Silvanna.. 😑 Maybe it's just Arthur's body like a child, but for them he's a grown man.
