"Yes. That's not the punishment I thought His Majesty the Ancestor. Just an unpleasant surprise. If in Kite, the punishment for the person who framed the King is the death penalty" said Prince Niko
"Maybe you're right, Prince. But with no prior notice, perhaps Diba would mention if I had betrayed him" said king Peter with a chuckle.
"With the deception she committed to frame you, she cannot be called your wife. There is no betrayal here. Only out of compassion for Autumumum did I not insist on giving him the death penalty" said Ancestor Kendrick
"I know the ancestors. Maybe my heart is too weak because of Autum" murmured king Peter
"So when can we meet with His Majesty?"
"Now. Come with me." said King Peter
While King Peter takes Prince Niko and Count Desmo to meet Diba Renzo, Kendrick's ancestors decide to return to his residence to rest.
They walked towards the silent palace. While halfway through the road, King Peter stopped.
"What's up, Your Majesty?" ask count Desmo
"When are you planning on going back to Tapis city?"
"Maybe we'll be here a few days if Your Majesty allows it. Is there a problem, Your Majesty?"
"Of course I allow. I was afraid if you guys were so in a hurry. Let me have a few days with Autum. I rocked him from birth, and frankly let him go just like that was a bit heavy in my heart."
Prince Niko and Count Desmo were stunned for a moment. They could feel the feelings of King Peter.
"But given that he's regained his family's lap, I'm calmer. Because actually here in this palace I may be the only person who truly sincerely wants and loves him." continued King Peter
"His mother? Diba Renzo's? Must love her, right?" ask Count Desmo
" While no one loved him in this palace but me, no one really hated him or tried to hurt him. I've only known for a few days that his mother was the one who hated him the most and hurt him the most" said King Peter. There was obviously disappointment in his tone.
Neither Prince Niko nor Count Desmo were surprised.
"Why did His Majesty never notice it?"
"Because every time I visit him, he treats Autum very well. It seems that he loves her very much. And Autumpun did not dare to speak for fear of being punished more severely by his mother. All were revealed after the confessions of the servants who had served him all this time. The rotation of the maid that Natasha's main concubine did made things easier to know" King Peter said
"Yes, sometimes serving the same person continuously makes the servants more fearful of the person they are serving than revealing the truth. For fear that if caught will get punishment from their Master. That's understandable. Perhaps this rotation system can also be applied later in Tapis palace" said Prince Niko
"Indeed, wasn't Natasha's main concubine arranging His Majesty's harem?"
"So long is still the queen mother, for fear of the chaos caused by Diba. And it is evident, even while under house arrest, that when he learned that the harem was handed over to the main concubine Natasha, he even tried to attack the queen mother while outside the palace"
"Why has it changed so much? in the past he was a sweet child" Count Desmo said
"It is your duty to know what the cause of the Count is. But what Kendrick's supreme ancestor said, maybe you can make the base of the handle" said King Peter
"About his parents?"
"Yes, it's worth a try" said King Peter
They walked back to the silent palace.
The soldier standing guard immediately saluted the arrival of King Peter.
"I went in first. You can sit in the gazebo that is there. I'll call you in later" said King Peter
"His Majesty King Peter has arrived...!!" shouted the guard soldier
.
.
For several days now, Diba Renzo or Diana Cornor were sentenced to death in a desolate palace. No waiter accompanied him. The waiter only came to deliver food and drink three times a day, as well as to clean the silent palace once every two days.
He was furious when he found out his attempt to attack the Queen Mother failed and ended up being punished. King Peter was completely unwilling to meet him, only issuing an edict of his restraining order to the desolate palace. Even while serving his sentence in his palace, King Peter also did not want to meet him.
Now even his daughter Autum who had been used as a tool to seduce and melt the heart of King Peter was also kept away from him, even he was forbidden to approach Autum, and all that made him frustrated.
As he was thinking what he should do to get out of the silent palace and be free from his punishment, he heard the sound of the guard soldiers.
"Your Majesty King Peter arrived...!!"
Diba Renzo who heard that gasped in shock. He smiled and immediately smoothed his appearance to welcome the arrival of King Peter.
"Maybe His Majesty has finally broken his heart and forgiven me" he thought in hope.
"Greetings Your Majesty." he said bowing his body.
"How have you been doing for some time now, concubine Diana?" ask King Peter for a little chat.
"Even Your Majesty, I plead guilty and will improve myself. During this time, I have pondered so much about the mistakes I made that I deserved to be punished"
"Tell me what's your fault that it deserves to be punished?" king Peter's Fishing Line
"I'm not honest with Your Majesty if I ever get married. And as for Autum, I didn't know I was pregnant.. If I had known I was pregnant at that time, even though His Majesty had fucked me while drunk at that time, I would not have accepted the responsibility that His Majesty had offered." said Diba Renzo heartily.
"That's all?" asked King Peter while raising his eyebrows
"I tried to get people to attack the Queen Mother. I did it out of jealousy, the queen mother never liked me.."
"There again?"
"That's all I remember Your Majesty..."
"That means there's still a lot that you don't remember?"
"Mom.not His Majesty." said Diba Renzo quickly.
"Regarding our first meeting. It's been years, and we've never talked about it together. Maybe we need to reminisce for a moment isn't that so third concubine?"
"Maybe His Majesty.."
"Why is it possible? Must.. Because after this, we'll never talk about it again. Back then, when we met in Sento forest, and you asked for an overlap to Rakza city, tell me honestly. Were you deliberately waiting for our group to pass by or randomly choosing passers-by to hitchhike?" ask King Peter
"That's.that's.I chose His Majesty's random. I was tired after walking away from the city of Tosca and chose to stop waiting for people to pass."
"Why don't you pay the chariot rent? Isn't in the city of Tosca a lot of rental services like that. Don't tell me you don't have enough money. Even for years beyond my grant money, the money you bring is still enough to pay for surveillance services complete with his horse carriage!"
"I didn't know there was such a thing in the city of Tosca His Majesty.."
"When you said you were from the suburban village of Tosca and your parents were both dead and wanted to visit your uncle on the outskirts of Rakza, how could you not know it was Diana?? Is it possible that you lied to me..? That you might not even be from the Mordan Kingdom, so don't know such a common thing?"
