Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Divorce and solicitation (5)

"Does Her Majesty the Empress have any evidence to refute the King's statement?"

"There's chairman. I have witnesses proving my statement. Palace physician Kurd Lounses was the healer who cared for and controlled my health during her time as Gordon's royal consort. Please give time to the palace physician Kurd Lounses to give his statement"

"It was sent to court physician Kurd Lounses to give a statement regarding the health of Empress Lorine Valley"

The physician Kurd stood up. He lowered his body showing respect to everyone present. He then gave his statement, and gave a copy of the empress' health records for the past three years to the chairman of the court.

All present listened with wisdom as the note was read aloud by the moderator. After reading the queen's health records, all members of the congregation were seen discussing with the person next to her before writing something in the written paper that had been provided.

The papers were collected, given to the head of the trial. Moderators read out the paper. Of the hundred sessions consisting of the royal advisory council, the ministers and the generals all agreed to accept the terms put forward by Empress Lorine because based on the health records given by the healer Kurd, empress Lorine's health condition was excellent. No fertility problems.

But another case with a member of the royal advisory council from the district three region. Dutch Marcel, the ruler of the Turmeric city, flatly rejected the Empress' request, stating that a copy of the empress' health records given by the physician Kurd had most likely been renewed to benefit the empress' position.

"Everything knows, if the healer Kurd Lounses came from the Valley family. So the healer Kurd must have manipulated the note to benefit the position of empress who is the main family of Valley "he said loudly.

Some people nodded their head in nods about the possibility, but some people showed angry faces to Dutch Marcel, but General Lucky who was the father of Empress Lorine let out a small laugh.

It's no secret about the incompatibility between the Marcel family and the Valley family. It's been going on for decades. All of this happened because of the jealousy of the Marcel family to the Valley family who occupied the position of royal physician.

"Someone who escaped while on duty for fear of fighting the enemy, does not deserve to doubt the credibility of the Valley family who even risked their lives and property to help people they do not know" the word healer Kurd refers to the malarial disaster of the past, where seeking a cure for malaria fever should be the duty of the Marcel family as Gordon's royal physician. But Marcel's family fled to the east until the outbreak subsided in horror at the loss of life.

And that was when the Wind Valley kingdom acted, as the kingdom famous for its medicine the Wind Valley Kingdom tried to overcome the problem.

With all the resources at their disposal, the Wind Valley kingdom tried by all means to overcome the disease.

After spending nearly sixty percent of the royal treasures, the new kingdom of the Valley of Wind found the necessary medicine. What a great sacrifice for a poor country like the Valley of the Wind. Meanwhile, the kingdom gave the drug willingly to every kingdom in the central continent without setting a price, making their poor country even poorer.

Gordon's kingdom was most helped by the drug, as casualties were most prevalent in Gordon's territory, and in gratitude the reigning king decided to appoint a chief elder of the Valley family to be Gordon's royal physician in place of the fleeing Marcel of Turmenic.

"After all, what advantage did the Empress get that you meant Dutch Marcel? We all know, however, that the divorce of the king and empress will still happen" asked Arduchess Elisabet Wolfen with a displeased face.

"What do you mean Dutch? Even His Majesty King Peter's request about his divorce has not been broken up by our advisory council. How do you think about anything else?"ask Dutch Lenox from District Two who knows the true envy of Dutch Marcel

"When I was appointed as a court physician, I was sworn to do my best for Gordon's court by not covering up what happened to the health of the members of the palace family. And during the thirty-nine years of service to the palace never once did I break my vows" Tabib Kurd said firmly.

Hearing the words of the healer Kurd, Dutch Marcel became silent no longer dare to make a mess that would actually further embarrass him.

After the state of the court hall became quiet the chairman of the royal advisory council said out loud:

"After hearing the statements of His Majesty King Peter and also Empress Lorine plus the testimony of witnesses, the, thus, the Royal Advisory Board decided to accept the divorce request submitted by His Majesty King Peter with changes as the conditions proposed by Empress Lorine Valley"

Everyone heard in silence.

"After His Majesty's request King Peter has broken up in accordance with the regulations in force in the Kingdom of Gordon, now Her Royal Highness the Empress is welcome to submit a request as a form of compensation for all the sacrifices and devotion that have been given during her time as Gordon's royal consort."

"I Lorine Valley hereby submits some pleas to His Majesty King Peter and the esteemed members of the congregation."

"First invoke the relinquishment of the ninth district of Gordon's royal territory. The nine districts will again become the Valley of the Wind Kingdom, just as they were before merging into a single entity with the kingdom of Gordon. Thus all the aid that Gordon's kingdom had given him would also be stopped at the time of the breakup of this request"

Louisa was silent for a moment to see the reaction of all the trial participants who looked surprised only General Lucky and Dutch Landen who seemed ordinary because they had been told before.

"The two begged Gordon's kingdom to relinquish the territory of the eighth district to the territory of the Wind Valley kingdom. All assistance obtained by district eight will still be valid until one year from the date of determination"

"In exchange for Gordon's royal assistance to the eighth district, the former empress's living expenses for the three years I was supposed to have received were terminated according to the deadline. This is just a request from me. Thank you" said Louisa closing her plea.

Instantly the courtroom was filled with conversation. They discussed with the person next to them. Most were confused by the request of empress Lorine because it was like it did not provide the slightest advantage to her.

"General Lucky did you know about this before? You look so calm hearing the Empress' request? "ask General Dicky sitting next to General Lucky

"We had a long argument before when the empress expressed her wish. Although district eight was not included in our discussion at that time" General Lucky replied, recalling the time he was in residence.
