THE LOVE STORY OF THE HEIR TO THE THRONE

Kisruh Heir to the Throne

The King was silent at Prince Arezz's refusal, and he asked why.

''Do you have a woman you love?'' ask King.

The prince remained silent and did not answer his father's question.

''Baginda...! Prince Arezz is too young to think about a future companion, let him choose his own woman who will be his companion, said the Queen.

''My son...! I hope you prepare quickly, because I am tired of being a King, I want to enjoy the rest of my life by sitting quietly and resting in a beautiful place,'' the King said that made the prince and the queen surprised.

''What do you mean my husband? will you abdicate immediately and hand it over to Prince Arezz?'' Queen Emillia looks riled up.

''I am not ready father, do I have to bear the burden of being a king at the age of 22 years, replied the prince.

''I agree with Prince Arezz, can His Majesty wait any longer to truly abdicate, and choose one of our three children, why should he replace you as a King?'' The queen looked a little upset.

''Queen...'' The king raised his voice a little.

''My decision has been unanimous and cannot be contested by anyone anymore, ''' The king is getting angry.

''Now you two leave before me, now...'' The king shouted then was seen coughing.

''Dad... Arezz approached the King, seeing that his father was bleeding from his mouth which he hid behind his hands.

The king shook his head while looking at his son, as the son was about to say something, as if to signal that the Queen should not know about his true condition.

The prince understood with the gesture given by his father, he just looked down at the fist of the King who already had blood in it.

''Excuse me first, Your Majesty, the Queen said goodbye, then left them both in the room.

After the Queen's death, Prince Arezz was seen sitting in front of his father, his hands were seen clasping both hands of the King.

The prince opened his father's fist and opened it. His face was very surprised, and his eyes were already a little glassy.

''Excuse your son father, for daring to refute your edict, I will follow your orders, but I ask you to take care of your health and recover from the pain you have been feeling,'' the prince's tears had already drenched his cheeks when he said that

The King rubbed his son's hair.

''Prince Arezz, I really want you to immediately take up your duties as a king, I am very tired, and want to rest immediately, said His Majesty.

''Well father, this son of yours will follow the decree of Ayahanda, father can rest enjoy the old age of father quietly and comfortably, replied the Prince still sobbing.

''One more month, I will inform the prime minister and the royal secretary of my desire to abdicate, within one month you also have to prepare mentally and improve yourself so that you can become a good and wise King and can also build this kingdom for the better again.'' said the King with a little glazed glass while continuing to stroke his son's hair.

''Okay father. But there is one thing I want to ask, why should I inherit the throne? why is it not the son of the father who was born in the womb of the Queen who inherited the throne of the father?'' asked the Prince while looking at the father's face.

''Father wants you to inherit the Throne because you were born to a woman that you love so much, your mother is the only woman who is always in the heart of the father, even though the Queen is accompanying the father, the Queen who is accompanying the father, but father's love is always for your mother.''

''That is why I want the kingdom built by our ancestors, inherited by you, your children and grandchildren, replied His Majesty.

''I understand my father, and I promise to accept and do my duty well as a future king, just as my father did all this time.''

The prince wiped the tears that were still left in his eyes, then he got up and stood up, bowing respectfully to His Majesty as an obedient servant as well as a devoted child to his parents.

Then he turned and left the king.

Queen Emillia went into her room in a state of annoyance, she did not expect that her husband would actually bequeath the kingdom of Underland to the son of the woman he hated all this time.

The Queen did hold a deep grudge against the mother of Prince Arezz, because the woman was loved by the King, while her who had always been loyal companion King never get genuine love from her husband.

As the Queen was dissolving in her annoyance, there was a knock on the door of her room, her eldest son named Prince Brendan entered her room.

''Why mother's face? why look upset?'' prince Brendan said to his mother.

''Mother is very upset with your father, she just spoke to mother if your father will soon abdicate and will pass on his throne to prince Arezz, '' said the Queen with an annoyed face.

''What...?'' Prince Brendan looked surprised.

''Mom was also upset to hear it.''

''Why would you do something like that? why am I not the one who inherited the throne, I am his biological child and also born from your womb mother, Queen of this country, said Prince Brendan with a fiery face.

''You calm down my son, I am your mother will not be treated like this, this mother will fight for what is rightfully yours, Queen Emillia seems to calm her son.

''I'm not willing if my brother Prince Arezz inherits the throne, that place is my right not him.''

''My dear, I understand your feelings, whatever you will do to prevent your father from giving up his throne to Prince Arezz.''

Brendan nodded then gave Queen Emillia a hug.

Brendan was the second son of King Arthur, born to Queen Emillia.

Prince Brendan is 20 years old and only two years from his brother, Prince Arezz.

Although he was still very young, but Prince Brendan had high ambitions to be able to sit on the throne of the King in his father's place.

Prince Brendan has a stature that is not too different from Prince Arezz, only his skin looks slightly brownish.

His face was no less handsome than Prince Arezz, but prince Brendan had sharper eyes and a facial look that always looked cynical and haughty.

In addition to Prince Brendan there are still two children of King Arthur who was born from the womb of Queen Emillia, namely Prince Brian and daughter Elisha.
