Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

The Queen Mother's Wish Anita

They chatted while joking while reminiscing about the past, until finally Queen Anita's mother turned around as if looking for something.

"What's Anita doing?" ask Madam Tie

"Where were your handsome great-grandsons who came to the palace yesterday? I didn't see it?" ask Queen Anita's mother

"Lucio?"

"Yes..."

Dutch Norwey and Lady Tie looked at each other and smiled.

"Home home yesterday morning. Why ?"

"It is fitting that he did not come to meet my tea invitation. I thought it was this old man who forbade him and his mother to come to the palace" he said listlessly.

"Why blame me. I might dare ban them. They came here because there was an urgent need. And we need to get back as soon as possible" Dutch Norwey said

"Eh, how's the palace?" tanya Madam Tie switched the conversation.

"Hah. ever since Empress Lorine came out, nothing good happened in the palace. There were three concubines in the palace, but none of them were able to give me a grandchild. It's been years, and I'm getting older too. I'm more worried about the next heir" he lamented.

"Patience a little more. Pray to the heavens, in order to be willing to open a little door for Gordon's palace "please Mrs Tie

"I always pray Tie. It's just that the night before I met your great-grandsons at the palace, I had a dream of meeting the star protector of Gordon's kingdom. I was thinking, maybe your great-grandson is the star I saw in my dreams. That's why I want to meet his parents"

Dutch Norwey and Mrs Tie were surprised to hear the words of the queen mother.

"I intended to discuss with his parents to raise Lucio to be Peter's adopted son. The blood relationship between Henry and Norwey is one. Brother and sister, maybe he is the most appropriate choice to occupy the next throne"

Seeing Dutch Norwey and Madame Tie silently listening, the Queen Mother Anita continued.

"If his parents agree, I want Lucio to stay in the palace to get a future king's upbringing."

"Don't rush to make the decision of the queen mother. His Majesty is still young, in the future he may have his own son. If that happens, while Lucio is already educated to be the next king candidate, who should be sacrificed? It wouldn't be fair on either side"

Queen Mother Anita fell silent and thought.

"Well, you're right. Maybe I'm in too much of a hurry. But educating her with palace education I guess it was good for her as well. He was given the title of prince, and if King Peter ever had a son of his own, Lucio could be made royal uncle. That's a pretty good position, isn't it? He can continue the position of the previous Norwey ancestors" said Queen Mother Anita with eyes sparkling with pleasure.

He had already imagined Lucio living in the palace and being able to accompany him to tea together, making him smile to himself.

"Aih.. But Lucio wasn't a Norwey" said Dutch Norwey to wake Anita's mother from her imagination.

"What do you mean old man? Isn't Lucio your great-grandson?"

"Indeed Lucio is still my great-grandson. But not a great-grandchild inside. And not even a direct great-grandchild. He was the great-grandson of one of my distant cousins. How could he be a Norwey?"

"You're very good at breaking my old man's heart.."

"If the Queen mother wants to, I have a great-granddaughter here, she's only three years old. She likes to sing. It might console the queen's heart" said Dutch Norwey

"If so be patient a little, her mother is pregnant young. Hopefully later that boy is born" said Madam Tie

"Haih.. later we will talk again if it is born. I see, the Queen Mother is very tired every day. Other than about the heir, what else do you need to think about" Dutch Norwey said

"Certainly the palace harem. All still in my charge, old man"

"Can't any of the three concubines help you?"

"Major concubine Natasha has helped a lot, but she's still under my watch. I'm still training her slowly. He took forty percent of the work. She had the nature of a leader, but because of that, she was most often in confrontation with the third concubine."

"Second concubine Violet was really the type of a concubine. There was no ambition, she deeply dedicated herself only to her husband. Nothing could be expected of him but a child"

"Third concubine Diana, she was too ambitious and greedy. Actually his work is quite good, but judging by his nature I don't want to give him the responsibility of the harem. If the harem is in her hands, it's only a matter of time that she'll get rid of the other two concubines"

"Main concubine Natasha is also very good. Maybe he can take your responsibility completely. I was amazed by the quick thinking of the queen mother of that time who proposed to Natasha Wolfen to be the main concubine"

"That's not my own thinking, Tie. But the main concubine Natasha is the concubine that dutchess Lorine requested before leaving the palace. At that time I did not understand why Natasha Wolfen had to, until I finally found out that Natasha Wolfen was one of the best friends and also a confidant of Dutchess Lorine" said Queen Mother Anita

"Obviously one of his men. Dutchess Lorine must have thought a lot about it when deciding it" Dutch Norwey said

"Dutchess Lorine, it's been years since that divorce. But he never came to visit me, other than to send greetings several times through his letter to Peter or the main concubine Natasha. Maybe after these few years, he was still angry with me" he said back in his doldrums

"Don't be narrow-minded Queen Mother, it may be the state of the Wind Valley that keeps her very busy and unable to visit. After all, as the Queen Mother said, she still sends her greetings. It meant that he still cared and was not angry anymore. And again if he can send word with His Majesty King Peter, it can certainly be seen if he is not angry anymore" said Mrs Tie comforting.

"The Wind Valley is now very much changing. I heard that construction took place where, except those directly adjacent to our kingdom, they had already built a border wall around that kingdom. That means he's very busy and he's very trusting of our kingdom"

"Yes.yeah, we've talked a lot today. I'm going back to the palace now."

"Don't you have lunch here, Suri?"

"Can't, maybe next time. I have an appointment to have lunch with the main concubine Natasha."

"If so, I won't hold the queen anymore"

Dutch Norwey and Mrs Tie deliver Anita's suri to the horse-drawn carriage. Not long after, the train left the Norwey residence and returned to Gordon's palace.

Elsewhere on a horse-drawn carriage...

"Hachuu..haachuu.." there was a sneezing sound.

"Mama flu because we play too late?" tanyz Lucio worried.

"No dear. Mama's fine, there's just maybe some people talking about mama. Hachuu..hachuu.." said Louisa accompanied sneezing back.

"Maybe the old mother has already come to the Dutch Norwey residence, Lorine"
