Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Divorce and solicitation (2)

The horse-drawn carriage they were riding moved quickly. About fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the residence of empress Lorine's parents.

In front of the house they have been waiting for General Lucky and his wife Margaret Bruswick. Reneism got off the train and Louisa followed.

"So magnificent house"he's in

"Welcome back to my daughter's house" General Lucky said as he spread his arms.

"Dad, Mother." said Louisa giving her bowing salute, then hugging General Lucky and Margaret alternately.

"Let's go inside" said Margaret.

They also had dinner together. Lorine Valley is the only child of Lucky and Margaret. So that not only the two of them, but the entire Valley extended family loved Lorine dearly.

As for Louisa herself, this is a family atmosphere that she misses so much considering she never knew her biological parents. He was just one of the adopted children of a family that did care for some orphaned and abandoned children.

After eating they move into a room, where only the three of them are inside with the door deliberately closed so that no one steals their talk.

"My daughter.dad heard the news about your divorce. Is true?"lucky said, sitting on Louisa's right.

"The news is true father, mother. I'm sorry to have you all worried about that"

"Tell me my daughter. What the hell is going on? As far as mother is concerned, my lord the king loves you very much"

"Dad, mother, your majesty wants to get married again. That was the real reason, and he had even hidden a woman named Diana Cornor. "

"What!! How could the king do that!! My husband, look for evidence of the king's infidelity, then he won't be able to divorce our daughter "shouts Margaret angry

"Dear patience. Listen to our daughter's explanation. Lorine, so what are your plans now?"

"Dad, mom. I know, I can suppress the king with that. But it won't make my relationship with the king's majesty any better, maybe even worse. What's more it's bound to drag another innocent name. Plus the indisputable fact, I haven't been able to give you a bloodline"

"So you'll take it for granted my daughter?"

"Yes dad, mom. I will accept this divorce. I've thought about it well. I found my mom and dad trying to negotiate a request I should give you when I break up"

"What would Lorine ask for?"

"Dad, mom. Maybe my request will be a little strange and risky according to father and mother. Because it's about a lot of people.."

"Is this ananda referring to the kingdom?"

"Really dad. I've read the history of the entrance of district nine into Gordon's realm. I want the district nine to return to being the kingdom of the Valley of Wind"

"That means to escape Gordon's kingdom, is that my daughter?"

Louisa nodded her head.

"You yourself know the state of Lorine's nine districts. It would be very difficult to survive if not for the help of the Gordon kingdom. Almost all foodstuffs except meat, were supplied from the city of Agriba" Lucky said.

"I know dad, mom. I-i know... I also know, if the income from restaurants and lodging that I manage in some cities is almost entirely used to help the district nine. Even the herb shop that the Valley extended family managed, did the same. But that's exactly why I want district nine to escape Gordon's kingdom"

"My daughter, we don't understand what you're thinking"

"As long as this can be said district nine can survive because of outside help, even though it is still the Valley family. But the point is not because of district nine's own earnings. Therefore I have a plan to make the Wind Valley food independent"

Lucky and Margaret looked at each other.

"Lorine, the Valley of the Wind is a thin area of humus. Not suitable for agriculture. Do not compare with the city of Agriba in district five. Although the same is in the mountainous region, but the situation is different like the earth with the sky"

Seeing the doubts of her father and mother, Louisa smiled. He had already predicted the reaction of the two old men from Lorine.

"I've taken everything into account, including the solution to the thin soil will humus father, mother. Anyway, we have to do this." said Louisa

"Did you and your mom ever hear about the long drought that hit the central continent less than two hundred years ago?" tannya

Lucky shook his head slowly.. Margaret was doubtful

"I think you've heard of one of Bruswick's ancestors. But I don't really remember, because when the ancestors told me that the mother was very small about six or seven years"

" If not mistaken, the ancestors said there had been a very long drought making famine occur almost in the entire region of the central continent"

"really. That's what I mean, mom. From a note on the old parchment in the palace, it is said that a long drought will occur every two hundred years. According to the last records, the drought will start happening again in about twelve to fifteen years."

"So if that happens, will district nine survive if it only expects outside help? And how strong will Gordon bear the entire kingdom? How important is district nine to Gordon's kingdom?"

Lucky and Margaret fell silent, their minds finally opened. They were beginning to understand Lorine's intentions. If that were to happen, the ninth district would not be cared for as it would only be considered a burden on Gordon's kingdom.

"If so, do what you think is good for my daughter. Your father and mother have always supported you and let me tell this to your uncle Lander and the whole family"

"For a big family, don't tell dad. Wait for the divorce to finish first. After everything was clear, and my request was fulfilled and passed by the courthouse, just hold a Valley extended family meeting"

"I agree with my husband's daughter. There will be unnecessary trouble in the big family"

"If my wife thinks so too, I will follow"

"Dad, mother night has been far away. I decided to retreat back to the palace first"

"Didn't you stay here my daughter? Let me prepare a room for you. Tomorrow morning just returned to the palace" persuaded Margaret who felt heavy to take Lorine away.

"I'm still bound by the rules of the palace, mother. And I'm only allowed to visit. Anyway tomorrow there are things that I have to take care of mother" replied Louisa who walked out while holding Margaret's hand.

General Lucky and Reneism walked behind them while talking about the state of the palace.

Before boarding the horse carriage Luisa remembered something

"Mother, do you know about grand concubine Louisa Balley?"
