Love of the Empress 2: King and Queen

King Bahima vs Queen Madis

"He doesn't want to know! Disappearing her queen Charrine will be considered your fault, king Daffa! Da will keep looking for Da's queen and daughter until Da can find them again. Care for the devil with all this Pizloff en Muah agreement!" Amuk king Elfran in the negotiation room on his next day.

This is the third day of negotiations. It should be that the four kings and queens will discuss the topic of truce and maintaining peace among the four kingdoms on this day.

But with the situation of the disappearance of Queen Charrine, it is clear that the king of Elfran rampaged angry and did not want to continue negotiations.

"Da has deployed the entire police force to find the whereabouts of Queen Charrine. Da will make sure of that. So please be patient, king Elfran. While waiting, why don't we continue this negotiation?" Daffa proposed a suggestion that sounded absurd in Elfran's ears.

"Are you stupid or what?! The existence of the queen and princess Da is clearly more important above all else! He will investigate everything himself! Whoever's behind this, will make sure you regret doing it!" Threaten king Elfran before going out of the negotiation room.

Brakes. The door slammed shut behind the angry king.

For some time, no one spoke in the room. The other three rulers were still staring intently at the door that slammed shut.

"It turns out that the rumors circulating there are indeed true," said queen Madis, ruler of the kingdom of Enmar.

At once the attention of Daffa and the king of Bahima was also on the queen. Until queen Madis continues her speech again.

"I heard that the ruler of Goluth was an angry tyrant. Moreover, this concerns his queen. Even so, Da felt something strange. Don't you think Queen Charrine disappeared so easily?" Ask Queen Madis who.

"What do you mean, Queen Madis?" Ask Daffa.

"Da means is.. Is there no bodyguard accompanying the queen? Why is there no trace at all that could indicate the existence of the queen? It's as if all this was planned by someone." said Queen Madis speculated.

"Be careful what you say, Madis! You could've gone to the wrong guy!" King Bahima's rebuke to the queen.

Queen Madis raised next to her eyebrows. He was interested in the reaction of the ruler Allain.

"Why? Do you feel like Da's words are for you, Bahima?" Challenge the queen.

"Huh. Your mind is too wild, woman! Da wonder, how could the throne of Enmar be in your hands?" King Bahima said half mockingly.

The queen was provoked by her emotions.

"What did you say?! How dare you doubt Da's power?!" Amuk the queen.

"Quiet down. Be patient first, my brother! Don't get emotional. We are here to revise the peace treaty between the kingdoms. So don't succumb to the emotion for a moment!" Daffa reminded the two feuding rulers.

The queen snorted. And the king of Bahima. The two turned their faces in different directions.

The turn of Daffa who let out a tired sigh. In his mind, he considered that the negotiations this time seemed to be going on quite hard.

"So, can we continue this negotiation? We'll do all three first. While the ruler of Goluth calmed himself down," Daffa added later.

The Queen sat back in her seat. While the king of Bahima who had previously remained seated, now upholds his sitting position.

Daffa breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful, because at least two other rulers he could negotiate again.

So finally the third day of negotiations was carried out by the three rulers of the kingdom only. They discussed topics related to the ceasefire agreement between countries on that day.

This topic revises some of the points already in the old treaty. And add and remove some of his other points.

This last round of talks went pretty hard. Because on some occasions there is a fierce debate between the three. Especially between the ruler of Allain (king of Bahima) and also the ruler of Enmar (queen of Madis).

Delayed negotiations approaching zuhur time. The three rulers then enjoyed the lunch prepared by the inn.

No one spoke during the banquet. Each ruler was busy with his own thoughts.

Actually, Daffa has raised the topic several times during the banquet. But because the response of both seemed negative, so he finally decided to follow silence like the other two rulers.

After the banquet, the rulers resumed negotiations. And after a debate that was quite frequent at some point, finally the negotiations were completed also about the following two hours.

Before parting, Daffa conveyed his thoughts to the rulers.

"Da hopes that, with the negotiations that we have revised together, peace and good cooperation will still continue between us. Of course we do all this for the welfare of our respective people, right?"

Queen Madis and the king of Bahima seemed to approve of Daffa's remarks. A nod was awarded by Taja Bahima for Daffa.

"Therefore, we must keep thinking clearly in the face of differences of opinion. Do not let us forget the interests of the people just for the sake of solving ego and self-anger," added Daffa again.

"That's what you said, King Daffa. He agreed with what you said" said the queen Madis.

Meanwhile the king of Bahima only gave a nod a few times.

"King Bahima, forgive Da's boldness when expressing opinions today. Like Da was too worried. With the status of the disappearance of queen Charrine, Da became worried when the following target is Da. Are women often the victims of crime?" The queen explained.

Although Queen Madis said she was anxious about her fate, Daffa did not see the excitement in the queen's eyes.

Daffa instead captured the defiant view shown by queen Madis towards the king of Bahima.

Seeing his second interaction, Daffa had a guess. If possible the two rulers in front of him had personal problems in the past. So that the two are often bickering and attacking each other's opinions.

Unknowingly, Daffa asked his curiosity to the queen.

"Have you ever been close to each other?" Ask Daffa, surprising all of him. Even surprised himself.

The queen raised her eyebrows next to Daffa. Just for a second. Before finally his gaze returned to the king Bahima who was still seen sitting casually on his seat.

"With King Bahima? You must be kidding me, king of Daffa. Our age is far different. So where might we have a close relationship," elak queen Madis.

"But.. He knew someone from the kingdom of Allain quite closely in the past" added the queen.

"His dear that person suddenly disappeared no news," added queen Madia back.

"Who is she, queen? Sorry if Da is too curious" Daffa said in a hurry.

"Ahh. don't hesitate, King Daffa. The man is just a past servant. A bastard with no heart! King Bahima knew him. Isn't that right, King? He's your dearest nephew, isn't he?" Queen Madis half pointed the finger at the king of Bahima.

Daffa stunned. It seemed like the relationship between the two lords in front of him was indeed quite complicated. It's good if he doesn't touch on this topic anymore.

"Ehem! Then we end this negotiation here first. We meet tomorrow at the town hall to witness the performance of art that will be presented by the people of Nevarest to the king and queen of all," said Daffa.

King Bahima and Queen Madis were speechless. The two then went out first from the negotiation room. Leaving the stunned Daffa thought of many new things that were known at today's talks.
