I returned my gaze to the television projection, looking at Lugalgin who had begun to speak.
[And, to show our commitment in helping and protecting Princess Rina ... ] Lugalgin stopped and looked to the right, towards Rina.
For some reason, I felt bad when Lugalgin gave a pause. This feeling says that I will not like what Lugalgin will say.
[We're going to have a wedding. Princess Tina will be my wife, along with Emir and Inanna.]
"WHAT!"
Unbeknownst to me, I had already stood up from the chair and kicked down the table.
Not only me, the people on the television projection were also noisier. They all raised their hands, wanting to ask questions. In fact, I heard some reporters had already asked questions without waiting for permission.
And, as if ignoring it all, Lugalgin continued his announcement.
[Our wedding will take place 7 days from now, 30 Miriads. This announcement was not spread in advance due to urgent conditions. And, for those of you who want to be invited, please contact our Wedding Organizer, You Wedding. However, keep in mind that anyone who wishes to be invited must adhere to strict security protocols.]
Wedding Lugalgin in 7 days? Why didn't I hear this? Supposedly, the period of 1 year given by the Alhold family is still 2 or 3 weeks away, right? And, in fact, they should not directly determine the date of the wedding. Supposedly, another 2 or 3 weeks are still in the decision stage whether the Emir will be accepted as Lugalgin's wife or not. In fact, I've prepared an argument to withdraw the Emir from Lugalgin's marriage.
Not stopping there, Lugalgin also made new problems again. With the inclusion of Princess Rina as a future wife, Lugalgin's marriage was no longer commonplace. With this, Lugalgin's marriage officially became an act for the sake of diplomatic relations. If I try to thwart their marriage, indirectly, I will be seen as a pro-war party.
Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!
Lugalgin .ah, free. I can't hate you, Lugalgin. It was your strategy and courage that made me fall in love. It would be weird if I hated you for this.
All right, Rahayu, relax. I am so angry and regret everything that has passed. I looked back at the projection in front of the table. The press conference was over and I turned off the television.
I walked, left the table. As soon as I got to the front of the room, two servants greeted me.
"I want a rest in the park. Please prepare tea and cake."
"Okay, queen."
On the way, I move my hand. It's been a while since my hands have healed, but it still feels weird. I don't know, this hand feels nothing, lighter.
Not long after, I arrived at the park. There was a servant and a knight standing guard. No matter how many times I saw it, I could only sigh when I saw the knight. Knights and policemen who are more image-centric than results are completely useless when confronted with black market, military, and intelligence people.
If I could be honest, from the beginning, I wanted to change the knights in the palace into soldiers. However, it takes a long and long process to do so. If I do it, indirectly, I show that the Bana'an prefers the Military over the police.
If this happens, the people will not respect the police, which happens to be filled by nobles. With less respect for the police and the nobility, crime will increase.
Not done with security matters, many dukes sent marriage offer letters to me just because Fahren was declared dead. Fuck up! I hate power-hungry people like them.
While thinking about it all, I ate cake and had tea. Every time I drank pure royal tea, without any mixture or sugar, I remembered taking the Emir to the house of Lugalgin. I want to drink some more herbal tea. Although Lugalgin had already expressed the positive effects of herbal tea on health, the people in the palace still rejected it. They still thought only commoners drank tea with the mixture.
Ah, Lugalgin, I hope you're here and brewing herbal tea for.
On the other hand, although it was not apparent, I was sure that there was one person, or even more, watching over me. The people Lugalgin sent were not ordinary people. No matter how hard I searched, I never found them.
Alright. After a little bit of bad cake and tea, my mind had calmed down. I started thinking about my current condition. The military and intelligence clearly are not under my control. They were clearly under Lugalgin's control. Right now, all that remains under my control is the police force.
However, if I only used the police force, it would be difficult to deal with Lugalgin. The police force is too low. The only way is to twist the law and charge Lugalgin or his family with a case. That way, for sure, Lugalgin's marriage will be postponed. However, I doubt this method works. All the fake evidence created by the police will definitely be made disappear by the intelligence.
Increasingly worse, my personal connection has also been lost. Whether Lugalgin was intentional or not, but the nobles who were the source of my information were lost, killed during the black market war.
Now, my position is really like a frog in a shell. The information that came to me was only the information that was reported. I can't even check the truth of the information coming in.
