"The Empress..."
Louisa opened her eyes, and saw the middle-aged woman she had been in the room with an old man with a herbal scent standing beside her bed.
"Let me check the noble condition" he said respectfully.
Louisa nodded her head slowly. From the memory he obtained from the owner of the body he occupied he knew the old man was a palace healer named Kurd Lounses. And the middle-aged woman was his personal servant named Reneisme.
The doctor checked her pulse, and her eyelids.
"Your majesty is it still dizzy?"tanyakanya.
Louisa nodded her head.
"That's very natural that noble considering you fell from a high enough place. Even if you can live it is a miracle. This glorious one week will probably still feel a little dizzy. Servant will concoct medicine for your majesty to drink so that the dizziness gradually disappears."
" Thank you uncle"
"No need to thank your majesty. It was already the duty of the servant as a court physician"
"But my uncle has helped me many times" Louisa said as the queen's memory flashed through her mind.
"It's only natural that an uncle would help his nephew. Now take a break, don't think about unnecessary things. The sky has its own way of guiding the steps of the chosen one" he said with a smile and walked away from the room.
Reneism approached Louisa after the healer Kurd left.
"The Queen should eat first, after that take medicine. Let me prepare noble food and medicine"
"Well" answered Louisa briefly.
Reneism came out for a while, but not long ago he returned with a tray of food and herbal medicine that had been formulated by the healer Kurd before.
He then feeds Louisa painstakingly until Louisa's food and medicine are exhausted. Reneism was not only the personal servant of Empress Lorine, but also Lorine's foster mother of infants.
And when Lorine got married she joined the palace as the empress' personal servant. And to Lorine herself, Reneism was already like her real mother.
"Now rest, I'll take care of you"
"Thank you, mom"
Reneism smiled, there was a drop of tears streaming down the corner of her eyes. Upon seeing Lorine close his eyes, he moved to tidy up Lorine's blanket slightly and ushered back the tray where the food and herbal medicine returned to the kitchen.
While Louisa was dreaming, she was somewhere like a beautiful meadow.
As he turned to his side a woman who looked very much like himself was sitting casually while looking at the meadow that stretched.
"Greet you again Louisa" he said without looking at Louisa.
"Greet you also Lorine" Louisa replied. "Thank you for letting me use your body"
"Don't thank me. Because now I am you, and you are me. With your spirit, my body is alive, while with my body your spirit is alive"
Louisa smiled, it seems like what Lorine said is true as well. But he still asks questions in his heart, guess why God gave him a second chance at life.
"You must be asking why you were able to reincarnate into my body, right?"asked Lorine who seemed to know what she was thinking
"Yes. "
"If you have a job and are aware of your responsibilities, why would you kill yourself?"
" I never killed myself Louisa. It was purely an accident as a result of my carelessness. You must know from my memory that my husband King Peter Henry will divorce me. And it makes me very sad and desperate. And the night I was on the balcony and crying. Unconsciously I stepped to the edge of the balcony while watching the moon trying to find peace of self and accidentally even slipped and fell." Lorine long story.
"You are stupid and careless" Louisa replied.
"You know Louisa, I love your majesty very much. We were engaged when I was a year old. When I was sixteen, we got married, and soon we were supposed to be celebrating our third wedding day."
"When that?" ask Louisa curiously
"Precisely with the day of our divorce verdict"
"Huh. It's so bad she's Lorine" grumbled Louisa.
"But in Gordon's kingdom the rules are like that. When a king is about to divorce his consort, his divorce must take place on the day of their wedding feast "
"Why is that Lorine? Isn't that very hurtful to the empress?"
"Not so Louisa. It was also created to protect the rights of the empress. Because at the wedding a queen can ask for a gift to the king. And since the divorce was made to coincide with the day of the wedding feast, instead of the feast, the queen could ask the king for anything in lieu of the time she had spent in the service of the king and the kingdom. And the king has no right to reject it except for three things."
"What is Lorine?"
"First refused divorce, because it was a divorce. Both kings throne. The third asked for more than forty percent of the kingdom's territory."
"The first and second things I understand. But third, I don't understand the point".
"It means an empress can ask for gifts in the form of royal territory up to forty percent of the size of the kingdom, but no more."
"Wow a very magical rule in my opinion. So all regions can be requested? Can, except the main district area which is the capital of the kingdom . It must be a single unit of territory. "
"That means we should be close together, as you mean? I understand now."
"From your memories I have, your family is from district nine. And it's a less fertile area. Is that really so?"
"Indeed right. Even the Nine District had only entered the territory of the Gordon kingdom a hundred and fifty years ago. Right after my great-grandfather became a royal physician."
"So formerly district nine was a small kingdom called Valley of the Wind. But the Valley of Wind was not only small but also poor"
"Is it because of the poor that the Valley of the Wind was taken over by Gordon's kingdom?"
"Yes and no. Yes, because even now the Valley of the Wind is still poor and assisted by the kingdom of Gordon. Not because it was originally a gift given to great-grandfather who managed to save the kingdom at Gordon from malaria in the past."
"Malaria means kina tree'"
"You know that tree too?"
"I know the name, but I don't know the shape of the tree. I just know, quinine trees can treat fever caused by malaria mosquitoes"
"His great-grandfather was a great king and a great healer. And he used quinine as a cure for the disease. In the wind valley there is a place in the so-called quinine valley because of the many quinine trees that grow there. One day you'll have to go there."
"I'll definitely go see him. But hearing the story, why did the king divorce you?"
"Because he wants to get married again...."
