Elf Princesses

Episode 8's. Arguing

"Auntie, did I hear wrong?" Rubby frowned and smiled awkwardly.

"No, Miss. Miss will be the legitimate wife of His Majesty" said Diana softly.

"How come? I don't even know him," Rubby glanced softly, "Auntie, I know Your Majesty is a good person. But how could Your Majesty fit me, and as I said, I don't know His Majesty"

"You'll get to know her slowly, miss. Miss will be the empress of this Empire," Diana smiled as she rubbed Rubby's cheek.

"Did your Majesty tell you that, Auntie?"

*****

"His Majesty, won't you try to see Miss Rubby?" edward asked as soon as he saw Zac who was already focused on his task.

"Do you think I should see Rubby now?" zac asked, looking at Edward who had just come into his room.

"Maybe you should come, Your Majesty. In any case, Miss Rubby feels you are a stranger, it's not that easy for her to accept you as her husband" Edward explained.

"Then, how's your family? You haven't even seen them in months, have you?" said Zac with a still focused gaze on his files.

"Don't it be months, it seems like it's been a year since I left it." Edward sighed.

"You can take a leave of absence after the situation in the empire improves. However, for now I still need your help, Edward," Zac explained.

"Of course I understand that, Sire. I will take care of the matters in the Empire, and return to see my youngest daughter.." Edward smiled happily and imagined how beautiful his daughter was. Because, a few months ago the wife was blessed with a daughter, and maybe now the child has been born.

Nah!

"By the way, have you learned anything about Jiornge's kingdom by now?" ask Zac while putting his pen on the table.

"Ah, I forgot to tell His Majesty!"

"You mean?"

"Jiornge's kingdom, formerly ruled by King George, is now transferred to power by his second son, who is now officially King Jiornge. Actually, any representative of the kingdom or empire like us should come to his coronation, but I think His Majesty will be angry when talking about His Majesty's enemy again" Edward explained.

"Second son? What about the first son?" Zac frowned confusedly.

"Your Majesty knows for himself that the first son of the Jiornge kingdom was a child who was disabled from birth. Never mind to walk, even to eat or write, he needs the help of others." explained Edward little bellowed.

"Did the boy not care about King George?" murmuring Zac slowly.

"Baginda, I know you might get upset if I tell you this. But, in the kingdom of Jiornge, you are like a monster that has eliminated their mother, who is none other than King George. So I hope you are not related to that kingdom anymore" Edward said.

"Isn't that good?" Zac smiled faintly.

"good? How can you think being a monster is good?"

"That's not what I meant. I know, maybe my image as an emperor is bad in the eyes of that kingdom. But, that way they will feel alert and afraid of my presence, so in the future they will be afraid of my government" Zac stressed.

"Baginda, I always couldn't understand your thoughts. But I'm sure His choice will never be wrong" Edward smiled faintly and stared out through the window.

"So, was I-"

"Wasn't that Miss Rubby?"

BRACKET!

"Why did he fall down like that?!"

*****

"W-how could Your Majesty choose you as his wife! Department, position, strength, you don't have all three! Whyyy?! Why would His Majesty accept a woman like you!" the woman stared intently at Rubby, her face flushed red, and even now her body fell on the ground.

"Sonia, don't be disrespectful to the lady!"

Yes, that woman is Sonia, the woman who dared to make a fuss with Rubby for no apparent reason.

"I don't care what others think of me! But I'm sure that woman must have used the forbidden potion for His Majesty, so that His Majesty could like it and even bring it here to be made-up"

"Are you booing me now?"

Nah! Nah! Nah!

This sound..

"Baginda!" Sonia smiled as soon as Zac reached the garden. "Ba-baginda, please believe me, huh? Sire, you must have been affected by the strange potion he gave you, right? Sire, I believe that Your Majesty will not betray me!" sonia smiled happily.

"Are you crazy, Sonia Margaretha?"

The deg!

Gi... crazy? He even called me crazy because of that woman?!

"Ba-baginda, I have always been by His Majesty's side! Your Majesty should not betray me and bring the woman of unclear origin to the palace!" said Sonia pressing.

"Ba-even I'm much better than that woman! Position, office, or strength, my family has it all!" said Sonia, she glanced at Rubby and stared at him sharply.

"So this was the reason why the daughter of a Marquess was willing to become a servant in the Emperor's palace? Turns out, Lady Sonia's self-esteem was that low, huh?" Zac smiled and approached Sonia. "When it feels like I want to strangle your neck, but it could get dirty on my hand" Zac said with a cold look.

Is this waiter from the top? And the reason he came here was only to.. Rubby frowned. Anyway, the waiter's been acting on Rubby.

"Baginda, de. listen to my explanation! she was just a shameless woman who had no manners and was two-faced! In front of His Majesty, he will definitely pretend to be a gentle woman, but behind His Majesty he will be rude to servants like me!" said Sonia cynically. "I know Your Majesty must trust me, right? Isn't that right, Sire?"

"What?" Rubby clenched his hands together, it felt like he was dying for the moment when he hit the woman's cheek hard. Unfortunately, he had to obey the laws that were in effect in this empire.

Is Your Majesty going to answer "Yes"? Why does it feel like my heart is not calm, huh? Rubby sighed violently and tried to calm his heart.

"Whether someone else's view of me, I won't care. Obviously from the beginning it was all your fault that scorned me and accused me of being a lowly woman who seduced His Majesty." - Rubby flat. Though he did not want to be involved by the human world too far, but in fact he even met an Emperor who asked to marry him.

"Huh, what a pity yes.you must have fought so hard to be a servant like this," Rubby smiled as he stroked Sonia's cheek. He got up and bowed respectfully to Zac.

"Today's events, I hope Your Majesty forgets them. Thank you," Rubby said politely. However, in the depths of his heart, he was deeply upset by the words and ridicule shown to him by Sonia.

"You! I'll make sure you regret your whole life for insulting the Marquess' daughter like this!" Sonia bit her lower lip irritated.

"Miss Sonia, shouldn't I be the one to ask, why at this hour miss is wandering around the park? In fact, it should be that at this moment you as a 'servant' should be washing clothes, right?" Zac smiled cynically and turned his body around.

"Do I have to do something for her, Sire?" ask Edward.

"No, we'll let him go this time. But, if he goes too far later, I won't hesitate to kill him with my own hands!" said Zac coldly.
