THE KING OF VALUTA

THE KOV 25

that morning all the palace families had gathered together as well as the prime minister and the palace elders were all present that morning to discuss about Arthur's controversial speech during the event with the nobleman last night beside Arkana' just stared coldly at all who were in the room

" how could a crown prince who would later replace the king's position loudly announce even introducing a woman you don't know to be the crown prince's future wife, he said, is this really your plan to destroy the order of the kingdom that we've set up since then, with you never coming out to the public since your mother's departure what's on your mind Arthur" said the royal elder with a suppressing voice

"forgive the presumption of the elder's servant's son"

" i don't want to hear your words Theodore I just want the crown prince to explain all this"

" father, that's enough" said Arthur, raising his palm to tell his father to be quiet.

" i'm sorry for all, my mistake, for being so presumptuous as to introduce shanum to the public" said Arthur, all who heard his breathing deeply

"what land do you know and realize what you did yesterday made a rowdy palace and this country, you know your matchmaking has been determined since you were a child" said one of the palace elders

"i know very well'but as time goes on and reflect on the events of my late mother I do not want my home life to be arranged and everyone intervenes" said Arthur loudly

theodore took a deep breath while twitching the pain in his eyes

" your late mother was a very good queen and understood the position of king theodore very well" said the elder again

"oh yes, does my mother really understand the position of my father who is a king, in public and media he pretends to be happy but when he himself do you know his roaring cry, he said, facing my father's cold attitude at that time, until the day of his death no one wanted to discuss it even though I felt awkward"

"but your mother's death is not arthur's odd"

" oh, it's not strange, what night was my mother in the palace hotel and what was that night buying poison powder so stupid as me, at that time I believed that my mother died in an accident" Arthur said loudly

everyone was speechless when Arthur Theodore took his breath in as well as the queen mother.

"until this second my mother's death was known to the public by accident, only my mother's car was destroyed, while my mom's not where she died lying in the hotel in the poison or poisoning herself you guys like blindfolded, and you prime minister you know you're in silence"

" it's a big case and it shouldn't be leaked to the public I hope you understand" Theodore said

" yes, I'm always required to understand, and to close my eyes, the big case that you guys are hiding maybe even the perpetrator is still wandering in the palace probably among all of you"

" so presumptuous are you Arthur!!!" the palace elder sounded furious, Arthur just smirked

"your betrothal and my son Shakira will benefit greatly whether you know the palace finances are not good Arthur, a lot of funds are lost and without a trace" said the prime minister

" it's a palace!" arthur is back

" i reiterate I refuse this matchmaking for any reason" said Arthur he got up from his seat and left the room

" that is the attitude of a crown prince, if you know it would be like this better Arkana that I choose" said one of the elders

" it remains that Arkana' cannot be the crown prince he was born again the son of a concubine" said the elder as he glanced at Theodore, Theodore only silently disobeying the elder's words

Arthur came out of the room and his steps stopped as he saw Shakira standing at the entrance.

"Shakira, why don't you go in" asked Arthur with a cold look

" come in or I don't know what the conversation is" Shakira said as she approached Arthur she looked at Arthur's cynical face

" relationship? what relationship! , is there a special relationship between us, we are indeed childhood friends, but I can not make it as a special relationship, I never love you Shakira" arthur said as he looked coldly at Shakira

Shakira held back her annoyance she clenched her hands silently silent she could not believe Arthur would talk like that

"in a political marriage there is no need for Arthur's love! only cooperation in theatrics when this all brings good luck to the palace and to this country" Shakira said

Arthur walked slowly closer to Shakira their faces were very close

" i don't need profit, I just want to marry the person I love, many times I always say the same I don't want there to be enough matchmaking my parents are made into pawns in the game in this country" said Arthur he passed away, too, Shakira was getting upset

" shanum won't be safe if he stays by your side he doesn't have a strong protector he's just a commoner" shakira said loudly to make Arthur stop his steps then he turned back his body and looked at Shakira with his cold gaze and hunt

" i'll protect him, and I'll make sure whoever touches shanum doesn't live quietly and comfortably on the exchange even if he's from a respected person on the currency" arthur said he left Shakira

Shakira was still silent to hold back her emotions but she did not want to rashly act because she was in the palace area.

Arthur walked down the palace hall his steps stopped him because he met the queen of Elisha,

" good afternoon noble queen mother" said Arthur without ducking just staring intently at the queen Elisha

"the crown prince, not all the elders are still in the central palace why the crown prince has left the room is not it very presumptuous" said Queen Elisha

" i've rejected the match" Arthur said

" what!, what noble knows the noble move of the crown prince is very,.."

" stop talking formally to me I'm sick of it" said Arthur stopping the words of Queen Elisha all the ladies who followed the queen only bowed down the queen Elisha was holding back his annoyance at Arthur

"alright if that's what you want Arthur, I know I'm just your mother but I still have the authority to rebuke you, what you've done will have a bad impact on this palace you won't know what happened in the palace, you're different from Arkana he knows everything that happened in the palace "

" i'm proud of your own son apparently, yes I do not know anything in the economy and politics in the palace I only know about security in the palace, yes, but this is not all your plans that go very smoothly I withdraw and your son who is widely known, all for the sake of ambition to become the crown prince right, right, actually, you know he will never be the crown prince born of a concubine or a snatch of a man's husband who has schemingly killed his own queen for the sake of a position" Arthur said, staring emotionally

" plaaaaaac!! " queen Elisha slapped Arthur

" it is so presumptuous of you, to accuse without proof" said Queen Elisha in a voice trembling with emotion

" hey," Arthur smiled, holding his cheek

" your slap is less steady madam, it feels like it's swept in the wind, I'll teach you how to slap until the enemy falls, ohh I forgot you're a woman, I'll try to Arkana " arthur whispers to the ear of Queen Elisha

" fuck, son of a bitch, how dare he threaten me" whispered Elisha's heart he kept holding back emotions

" don't take Arkana with you "

" hahahaha, he has to be dragged because he's a palace family right"

"ouh means that miss shanum must be dragged, not right now she is a palace family who will be your wife, right" said Queen Elisha with a cynical look and a grin

"if anything happens to shanum you're the first person I'm going to find Queen Elisha " whispered Arthur to the queen of Elisha, the queen of Elisha just kept her emotions in check and Arthur left, leaving the queen Elisha still standing restrained her resentment and emotions at Arthur
