Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Tragedies

Night had come when the horse-drawn carriage reached the palace. Finished cleaning herself and having dinner, Louisa picked up a writing paper and a brush. He seemed busy writing something. Once he finished he called Reneism, and gave the paper to Reneism.

"Please buy tomorrow all the stuff I'm writing. Everything I wrote on the first piece of paper, please put it in a wooden box and send it to Uncle Liden Valley in Hinom city. Make a note, so don't open it until I come."

"Good Empress"

"Everything I wrote in the second paper, a message to the merchant to be sent to the palace on the third and second day before the trial broke up"

"That means another week the queen. But what is all this for, Your Majesty? It's a lot of food."

"Take a look at Ren's mother's third paper"

"Is this Your Majesty? You want to hold a dinner banquet for all the servants and palace guards?"

"real mom. When I came to this palace, the palace held a banquet for a week. So before I leave the palace, I would like to have a farewell banquet even if it's only two nights. "

"Did the empress deliberately split the banquet twice?"

"Right, first the empress hall cannot accommodate all the invitations. Second, there must still be guards in charge of guarding the palace and servants in charge of serving their lord"

"Hamba understands empress. Oh yes, the queen. What about the empress' meeting with the queen mother this morning?"

"So my mother asked. I told you good as always."

Louisa then recounted all her encounters with Queen Mother Anita including up to the ancestral hall. It's just that she didn't tell me about Grand Concubine Louisa Balley's painting, it was a painting of herself. Because he himself was still confused about it and promised himself to investigate it with the Picasso family.

*****

Louisa's day was full of busyness. He was right to use his last day at the palace to meet people who had information that would be useful to carry out his plans in the Valley of the Wind. Also the healer Kurd who will be his witness in the trial of divorce later.

*****

Day minus three before the trial broke up.

The hall looks very busy, guests have arrived and food has been served.

The atmosphere was lively, Empress Lorine was seen joking with the servants and guards who were her invited guests.

From a somewhat dark place, through the open window of the hall, without anyone noticing there was a pair of eyes looking at Empress Lorine with unblinking looks.

"You are always able to cover your feelings with your smile and your laugh Lorine. Until people won't know your true mood" he murmured softly

"After I get a son, I'll bring you back Lorine"he inner again while disappearing from that place.

All dishes are finished at the restaurant. Reneism stands the pulpit leading the event. He gave a little welcome about the event. At first glance he stated the event was made as a farewell event with the Empress. And welcome for guests who want to say goodbye.

An old man came forward representing the guards and a middle-aged woman came forward also representing the servants.

They each offered their thanks and congratulations to Empress Lorine.

After they returned to their seats, Louisa advanced forward. All of his guests looked at him with sad eyes.

"I am the consort of Lorine Valley, thanking all the palace guards and servants who have helped me a lot during my time in this palace. Thank you for your devotion and cooperation. Forever you are my family" Louisa said.

Then he did something that surprised everyone. He bowed three times as a sign of respect for all his guests. Suddenly all fell silent, not even a few who cried to see what their Empress did.

And it became the closing event at the banquet.

The next morning what Louisa did became a byword among the palace residents.

******

Day minus two before the divorce trial

The second night of the dinner banquet, as festive as the first night.

The event that was done was the same. At the end of the event there was a greeting from the representatives of the guards and palace servants. Then Louisa also did the same thing that is to perform prostration three times to all her guests.

By the time all his guests were dispersed, an elderly servant came to Louisa and clasped her hand tightly.

"Empress, Your Majesty should be careful. There's darkness in your Majesty. Lock the doors and windows before going to bed. There is no cure for a careless person" he said with a keen eye.

Then without hearing any response from Louisa, he left the hall.

Louisa was surprised to hear the servant's words, but did not want to discuss them.

*****

In room

Louisa's body felt very tired. Finished cleaning herself and changing her clothes, Louisa immediately fell into a deep sleep not remembering the words of the old maid before.

Reneismepun is equally tired. After making sure his master slept, he returned to his room to rest. It only advised the guards to take good care of Empress Lorine.

At midnight as usual, there was a change of guard. Unfortunately the guard on duty is a new guard who does not know all the rules that apply in Gordon's palace.

Fifteen minutes after the changing of the guards, King Peter came to the empress' residence half drunk. The new guard let King Peter enter Empress Lorine's room. It was impossible for him to be a low-ranking palace guard, preventing the king from meeting his empress.

After trying to open the door of the room that turned out to be unlocked, King Peter entered the room and locked it from the inside. Then approached Empress Lorine who was fast asleep.

First he simply stroked the hair of Empress Lorine gently, then went up to bed and laid his body beside her. For a long time he looked at Lorine's face and slowly stroked her.

"You're so pretty" she muttered

"I don't want you to go" he said again.

He kissed Lorine's lips. Louisa, who was asleep, was slightly awake when she smelled the smell of alcohol. But drowsiness really mastered it so much that he fell back asleep without knowing the dangers that surrounded him.

By morning, he woke up because something felt heavy. When he realized who was on top of his body, he was shocked and screamed. But King Peter covered his mouth with his hand.

Louisa cried, but did not care about the king who was cool to continue his activities. Louisa tried to fight back, but her power was lost under the siege of King Peter. After getting what he wanted, King Peter threw himself into bed.

Louisa was crying, getting out of bed fixing her messy clothes.

"Get out!! You man have no heart!!" angry shouting.
