Love of the Empress 2: King and Queen

The Enemy Behind the Blanket

"Report leader! I have made sure that the owner of the inner power of telepathy is Queen Tasya" Deril told a middle-aged man who was sitting a few meters in front of him.

Deril is a stalker who used to watch over queen Tasya and king Daffa along with Aro. Since this past month he has been watching the king and queen in turn.

Deril wants to confirm his conjecture of telepathic abilities that are either possessed by the queen or the king of the Nevarest. And from the results of his investigation it turns out that who has inner power telepathy is the queen of Tasya.

"Queen Tasya? What about King Daffa? Didn't you say they did telepathy together? That means the king is also telepathic with the queen instead of every night?" Ask the leader.

A mound swirled in the man's hand. A sign that he is thinking about something serious.

"On that matter, I cannot explain it yet, sir. But only the queen of Tasya telepathically not only to the king of Daffa, but also to the personal servants of the prince of Hima, Damsi and Afni. The servant once caught him acting like he was telepathically telepathic with the maid," Deril reported back.

"So that's good. For a while, keep an eye on the king and queen. I will pass this report to the top leader" the leader said.

"Okay, my lord!"

And Deril walked backwards to get out of the room where the leader was.

Meanwhile the leader that Deril had just left in his room now looks faster playing the mound in his hand. An old habit belongs to him when he thinks of something serious.

The leader's face looked seriously thinking of something. So that the wound that extends from his chin to his cheek makes his face more visible sangar. He is Alul Lazam. The Minister of Defense.

After some time of thought, Alul Lazam wrote something on a piece of paper. When finished, folded the paper and put it in an envelope.

Then Alul Lazam called his faithful adjutant.

"Hammar!" Call Alul.

Hammar, a black man, entered the room. He was always on guard at the door. Because indeed his duty is to be a personal bodyguard and confidant Alul Lazam.

"Hamba, Master!"

"There's a duty for you. Go and deliver this letter to the Supreme Leader. Wait for the orders from the Supreme Leader, only come back here soon!" Alul's orders on Hammar.

"Ready, my Lord!"

Hammar received the black envelope. Then put it in my pocket. Only after his did he go out towards where the Supreme Leader was.

Alul Lazam does not like telephone communication. Because now the phone has been controlled again by the king of Daffa.

Alul felt furious. Because during the five years of the young king's reign, the power that had been taken by him little by little had returned to the young king's hands. Alul Lazam's struggle to get to this point has been difficult.

Even so, for the many times his Minister Alul spread himself. All the hardships he faced during this time will pay off later when the Supreme Leader has succeeded in mastering Nevarest. And this won't be happening for long.

The invasion of the kingdom of Goluth has accelerated the collapse of this kingdom. And when the two kingdoms had been exhausted by a long period of war, the Supreme Leader would attack both of them in one swift attack.

Alul really hope, the success they will soon achieve. Because he had longed for the power that will be obtained later after the royal family was successfully eliminated from this country.

Thinking about the royal family, it instantly made the minister filled with anger and resentment.

Aul has a grudge against one of the royal families in the past government. Because he was born as a child from the illegal marriage of an uncle from the king of Jordan with Alul's mother.

Alul's mother was just a servant who received the 'grace' of being a concubine of a noble. Alul becomes the unofficial son of the royal family.

Because of her mother's status as a foreign servant, Alul's skin is also darker than other members of the royal family. This made Alul receive treatment and humiliation from his other noble cousins.

Young Alul is often bullied and humiliated in inhumane ways by those who boast of his noble status. Their pretext is only because their status is arguably purer than Alul Lazam.

It was this rude and insulting treatment that finally caused dissatisfaction in an Alul Lazam. So that he was determined to tear down the royal family's power from the country of his birth.

Then he met and came to know the Supreme Leader on an occasion predestined by God. They exchanged opinions on many things. And Alul found that even the Supreme Leader had thoughts that were not much different from his.

In the end, the offer to ally was conveyed by the Supreme Leader to him.

Power without regard to caste. A power that can only be achieved by those who are truly chosen based on their ability as a leader. Alul Lazam hoped to be a part of the formation of such a country. So Alul also agreed to an offer to ally with the Supreme Leader. It happened 12 years ago.

"My lord, there is a messenger from the army on the Eastern border coming" an aide told Alul Lazam.

"What's going on?" Ask the minister.

"According to reports, there was a petition from the people at the border who wanted the Daffa king to abdicate from his throne" the aide reported.

Alul Lazam involuntarily smiled.

"That's great. Isn't this really good news? Soon, other cities will file similar petitions. It is only a matter of time before the king who is now dethroned from his throne. Ahaha!"

The adjutant was silent and made no comment.

After some time, Alul again gave orders to the aide.

"Bring the messenger here. I want to hear for myself what's going on there!" The minister's orders.

"Ready, my Lord!"

In his sitting position, the Minister of Defense seemed impatient to hear the detailed story of the Eastern border there. He wanted to immediately present this petition to the king of Nevarest.

Alul wanted to know, how the king would react. When he finds out that his power is no longer desired, even by his own people.
