Love And Secrets

Issue Session

The next day His Majesty the King gathered everyone, including Alice.

The Ministers had been present first, Alice looked at them with a piercing gaze, Because the one next to her followed the direction of her gaze, they really could not twitch and just lowered their heads. Eric and William came together, behind him Laura tailed like a rabbit that wanted to be protected.

"Basic of the Snake." Whisper Alice. Because the right next to Alice heard clearly Alice's words, she clasped her hand and kissed her forehead.

"Garaa..!" Alice looked at Gara irritatedly, Gara just smiled jailly looking at Alice who was pouting.

Not long after, His Majesty the King walked into the Hall towards his throne. Everyone present stood up and bowed their heads, only when His Majesty the King sat down did they sit down again.

The atmosphere was silent, there was no sound, even some people held their breath so as not to make a sound.

"Greetings well." said His Majesty the King.

Everyone stands "Help befitting His Majesty the King may always be blessed" they sit back.

"Today we gather here to discuss the issues that are circulating within the kingdom."

"I don't want everyone to get swept up in the issue, because it will affect the good name of our kingdom."

"Today's trial will affect the decision for tomorrow and the future of this kingdom. So I hope everyone can participate well and honestly to resolve the issues that have been circulating."

His Majesty the King paused for a moment, he looked at everyone who had been present. Her eyes carefully observed every move she made, she stopped at Alice, Alice smiled and looked at her respectfully, then turned to Laura, she was restless and frightened.

His Majesty can conclude with a single breath, but he does not want everyone to consider it unfair or one-sided, hence the trial.

"Minister Feng, can you tell me the issues that have been circulating within the palace?"

Minister Feng stood up and walked towards the throne of His Majesty the King. He then stood beside the King and faced all.

Feng took a breath, looked at everyone and said it out loud.

"I heard the issues that circulated, namely that Princess Laura miscarried because Lady Alice encouraged her because she felt jealous she could not have children."

"That's all the issues I've heard, Your Majesty."

"All right, you can come back."

Minister Feng sat down again.

"Cedric, what have you got out of all those issues?"

"Your Majesty, I have conducted a thorough investigation. I saw the whole CCTV, but couldn't find anything there, they were both right in the blind spot."

"William's.." The king looked at William.

"You were the only witness there. What do you see."

"Your Majesty, it's true, I was right there when it happened. However, I don't see Lady Alice pushing Laura."

William's words were very clear and frank, there were no lies there, everyone who saw knew clearly, but they still did not believe.

"Daughter Laura, come here.."

Laura walked towards His Majesty the King.

"What happened that day?

"Say, we'll all hear it."

Laura started crying, she covered her face and just looked down.

"Say..."

"Your Majesty, that day after dinner, I invited Lady Alice to meet.

"I..

"I want to apologize Your Majesty..

Laura was crying, her tears were flowing profusely.

"I'm waiting for Lady Alice to be in the upper room near the library.."

"Then..

"Let Lady Alice come..

"He, he smiled, Your Majesty.

"I sincerely apologize for my bad actions towards him.

"But he laughed at my confession..

"He..

Everyone present looked in disdain towards Alice.

"She said that I don't deserve to have children..

"Then..

"He pushed me Your Majesty."

Laura was crying harder.

Those who heard Laura's confession held their breaths upon hearing this and stared disappointedly at Alice.

Alice did not show any expression, and just remained silent.

"Alice, are you okay?" For touching Alice's vibrating shoulder.

"Ah, of course.

"Trust me.." Alice smiled.

Alice and heard clearly everyone who whispered whispers about her. He wanted to run away from there and disappear. Hearing returned sharply upon entering the Hall, but Alice did not say anything to Gara, even now her eyes were clearly seeing all of Laura's expressions and all of her lies. The dark aura of Laura's body came out from her body, the instant Alice became nauseous.

"I trust you baby, I'll always be there for you."

"Thank you for that.." Alice hugged Gara tightly. Body odor Gara makes the nausea reduced.

"Lady Alice, come here."

Alice walked quietly, everyone was disgusted by Alice's innocent behavior.

"Say what happened Alice.."

Alice smiled and started to tell stories.

"A few days ago I was in the royal garden, that was the first time I met Princess Laura.

"I feel Princess Laura is someone who is so blessed, with such a beautiful face. However, he scolded me, he covered his nose and told the guards to kick me out, lucky they didn't. Because of that, Princess Laura threw her fan at me and hurt my face."

Everyone who heard the sneering did not believe Alice's words.

"That's impossible, Princess Laura isn't like that.." Say someone out loud.

"Yes, that's just your essay.." Reply someone.

"Stop!

"Alice please continue.." The king looked at Alice.

Alice took a breath and continued her story.

"Then, while I was in Gasibu, Princess Alice threw her fan at My head, so that My head was hurt."

Alice showed me the injured part of her head.

Everyone stood up and approached wanting to see, yet they still could not believe it.

"When that happened, it was lucky that my husband was there and took me away."

Everyone looked at Gara curiously, Gara just kept quiet and said nothing.

"Then, at dinner. Princess Alice put poison in my drinking glass, at that time my husband exchanged the glass with another glass. But I don't know what Gara did to the glass."

Everyone hesitated and whispered again.

"No, Your Majesty!! I've never done such a thing!" Laura cried loudly, her tears falling like rain in the dry season.

"Where might I do that to Lady Alice.."

"I didn't do it.." Laura covered her face.

Alice continued her story.

"Then at the second dinner, Princess Laura asked me to meet her at the library. However, when I went there Princess Laura was nowhere, I saw the window, and Princess Laura was right there, near the fish pond."

"I walked there, but I saw something strange.."

"Whatis that? say Alice.." The king was getting curious, so was everyone.

"...

"Daughter Laura's stomach is full of black smoke Your Majesty.."

"What kind of word is that? it doesn't make sense!" Someone shouted from the seat.

"I don't understand what you mean Alice.." The king was confused by what he heard.

Alice was also confused to explain her, she looked for a simple word to describe her.

"Your Majesty..

"I can see the invisible.."

"What do you mean?"

"I can see the color of magic.."

Laura's face stiffened, she could not believe what she had heard, nor did everyone who heard, except Gara.

"No, it can't be Alice.."

"I tell you the truth, Your Majesty.."

The king hesitated at what he heard, but he tried to listen to Alice's words.

"Continue your story.."

"It wasn't as bright as this room, Your Majesty, but I saw clearly Princess Laura's stomach was filled with black smoke and not a baby."

"I'm 5 months pregnant Your Majesty!

"I'm not lying!!!" Laura became hysterical hearing all Alice's words.

"I'm not lying Your Majesty. I walked over to Princess Laura.

"I asked her if she was really pregnant, but she didn't answer.

"The incident was so fast that even I still could not believe it, Princess Laura dropped herself from the steps of Her Majesty."

Everyone who heard held their breath, they did not believe what they heard and looked at each other.
