"Rila, you promised me to tell me about Prince Aldrick"
"Well princess, I'll tell you about Prince Aldrick"
Roselyn smiled, herself curious about the prince of this kingdom.
"If the terrible smile is Duchess Nagie, then who is the woman when we go home?"
"Oh. That's Duchess Almira Prince Aldrick's second concubine"
"Second concubine? Does the prince have two concubines? I thought only the king had a concubine, but the Prince had one too"
"The prince's concubine is three, princess" continued Rila again.
Roselyn was shocked
"There's three? You have to tell me about Rila" said Roselyn
"Will I tell you Princess Roselyn, but by the way where's your paper and stationery?"
"Ahh.. I just listened to you tell me, there's no way I'm putting this story into my book's script" Roselyn assured Rila.
"Well shall I tell you, the prince's first concubine is Duchess Nagie. Duchess Nagie becomes a concubine on the recommendation of her father Duke Victor. The king could not dwell because Duke Victor had made a major contribution to the kingdom, finally Duchess Nagie and Prince Aldrick married 6 years ago. Well like a political marriage"
"Did the prince like it?"
"That's the princess, according to the story of the ladies in the palace. Dayang Duchess Nagie complained of a fight between the prince and the duchess whenever the prince went to her residence"
"Aren't they husband and wife?it should always get along, right?"
"Maybe because Prince Aldrick doesn't love Duchess Nagie, if I'm like a prince that might be the right thing to do"
"Husss.kau Rila, what if he hears"
Rila told me again in a soft voice
"Mr princess, you know again. Prince Aldrick and Duchess Nagie have children"
"Teruuussss"
"Why isn't the princess surprised?"
"What am I surprised for? For a 6-year marriage they should have children"
"According to the news from the ladies, the boy is not the prince's son!!" Firmly Rila this time with a slightly loud voice.
"Rilaaaaaaaa sssstttt.."
"I'm sorry servant, princess"
"Continue?"
"The prince never believed it was his son"
"It's really complicated that way, only the prince and duchess of Nagie know, and then the black-haired lady?"
" That's the prince's second concubine named Duchess Almira"
"Hmmm Duchess Almira?"
"Ya Duchess Almira is the son of General Gerald. Because of a war with the kingdom of Quena he died on the front lines. To pay his last respects, the King married Duchess Almira to Prince Aldrick"
"Does the prince mind his wedding?"
"Hmm...meaning the prince loves Duchess Almira so much?"
"Maybe yes but probably not"
"Why are you saying that to Rilla?"
"Because I never saw them together"
"Duchess Nagie and the prince are also rarely together right?"
"Well probably less inter-dressing information"
Roselyn laughed at Rilla's words.
"If the third concubine of the prince's name is Princess Lesly"
"Wow a princess?"
"Yes princess, Princess Lesly was the son of King Yaricho who came from the kingdom of Ursa"
"Why can a princess of a kingdom be a concubine?"
" The Kingdom of Ursa is a small kingdom but very rich in its natural results, therefore the Kingdom of Ursa has many enemies who want to master it.
"Then?"
"King Martien helped King Yaricho defend his country, many soldiers that King Martien brought to help Ursa. Until finally no one dared to touch the Kingdom of Ursa again so"
"What does this have to do with being a concubine?"
"To thank King Martien, King Yaricho gave his beloved daughter to King Martien. Princess Lesly and Prince Aldrick are married"
"Unbelievably Princess Lesly, wanted to be a concubine to help her father" said Roselyn
"That's how the princess is"
"Who will be queen?"
"Hmmmm either princess..."
Roselyn and Rila ended their conversation because it was almost afternoon.
Tok.dok..
"Who's knocking at nights like this?"
Rila rushed to the front door to open it.
The man in warrior clothes unrolled the letter scroll and he read it aloud.
"Invitation for Princess Roselyn. It is expected that tomorrow his presence will be at a dinner with the King and Queen of Assyria at 7pm"
The man closed the scroll and left
"For dinner?" Roselyn
The soldier read out the invitation to 3 of Roselyn's neighbors, Princess Lesly, Duchess Almira and Duchess Nagie.
"Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to go to bed because tomorrow I'm gonna have to get ready for Rila's dinner"
"Alright princess, good night" said Rila.
