THE LOVE STORY OF THE HEIR TO THE THRONE

The King's companion

King Arezz was surprised to hear his brother's words. What might be the baby conceived by his sister-in-law was his flesh and blood.

''What do you mean Brendan? I really don't understand what you're saying?'' asked the King with a surprised face.

''Hasn't your majesty also had sex with my wife?'' still with a sharp look.

The King was only silent, indeed he did not deny if he had ever done this with his sister's wife, but he did not expect that the pregnancy of the sister-in-law was the blood of his flesh.

''Enough prince, ''' Evina shouted and came down from the bed, She walked over to her husband and also the King who was standing face to face.

''Enough husband...''

Evina began to shed tears.

''What are you talking about? why do you doubt the child I am carrying?'' with tears.

''Are you denying that you ever had that forbidden relationship with him?'' prince Brendan looked at his wife's face.

''Hit Brendan, ''' The King was angry.

''Why sis? if you deny it, then I will admit that the child my wife conceived was my son, my own flesh and blood.''

The king and Evina were silent, none of them denied Prince Brendan's words, because indeed everything his sister said was true.

''Justified, you two did not deny it?''

Both are silent.

Prince Brendan just left from his room, he felt sick of being in the middle of two humans who still love each other, even though he was his own wife.

After the death of the brother, the King was very nervous, what else to remember the words uttered by his sister was really disturbing his peace of heart.

''Your Majesty should leave here immediately, before my husband goes back to misunderstanding, '' Evina said.

''Wait Ev...!'' The king grabbed Evina's arm and was directly patted by the girl violently.

''Allow me to talk to you for a moment.''

''What...? what else does your Majesty want to talk to you about?'' he answered without looking at the king.

''If what my sister is talking about is true, then I will gladly accept the baby that is in your womb, '' said the King quietly.

''Thank you for the noble King's concern, but I'm sorry I don't need any recognition from your highness, your majesty, because I believe that the baby in my womb is the flesh and blood of my own husband, although I do not deny that we ever had a forbidden relationship.''

''But Ev...! allow me to do a DNA test when the baby is born later, so that all of our doubts can be answered, who is the father of the baby you are carrying?''

Evina just fell silent.

''I beg you not to show such a sad face, I just want to see you happy even though you are not with me, '' The King looked fixedly at the face of the girl he still loved.

Akh.. but the rice has become porridge, regret will never change reality, he can only accept and continue to live his life destiny which is always run by nestapa.

King Arezz came out of the room, after he did not get any answers from Evina's lips, his life as a King was very boring for him, especially without a companion and every day must see his beloved woman who has become the property of others, honestly all that makes his mind very tortured.

It turns out that life as a King is not as beautiful as everyone imagined. Every day confined within the palace with a million royal duties accompanying him, the King desperately longs for his free life outside the palace.

He also stepped with shaky steps, climbing every floor of the palace cold even with footwear.

***

A few weeks later.

The prime minister, with a special visit to King Arezz, offers to match his only daughter to the King, remembering that the King still has no companion, while it is not good for a King if too long alone without being accompanied by a Queen.

The prime minister faces King Arezz's office.

''What is this busy prime minister visiting me here?'' asked the King, allowing the middle-aged man to sit down.

''It just so happens that today I have some free time, in addition to wanting to report on the progress of the rebuilding of Barsom, there is something I would like to talk to His Majesty, '' the prime minister said.

''What do you want to talk about? is it urgent and important?'' the King was curious.

''Behold, Your Majesty has lived alone for too long without a companion, and his noble age is ripe enough to build a household, so I volunteered to make the daughter of the only servant as a companion of the King on the throne, said the prime minister.

''What...! ha..ha.ha... Why are you suddenly worried about my life? I am comfortable living alone, replied the King with a slightly irritated face.

''Really...? is your majesty sure just because of that? not because of the many rumors?''

''Rumours...? What rumors do you mean?''

''Many Rumors about the noble King circulated late on this, what noble has yet to hear of him?''

''I asked What rumor? you even turned around in explaining it?'' Angry king.

''Forgive your highness. So look, any word if your highness is still chasing after the wife of his noble sister? is the rumor true?''

''What..? who would dare to spread such rumors?'' The king was angry.

''I don't know, but if your Excellency doesn't temper the Rumors then your noble good name will be tarnished, I hope your Majesty thought it through carefully, this is not only about your own feelings, but it is also about the tranquility of the People, as a King, the noble one must keep the noble good name so that the People can respect the noble one,'' the Prime Minister gave an explanation.

The king was only silent, indeed what the prime minister said was true. What else if rumors about Evina's pregnancy are in doubt until it spreads? it can be destroyed his good name, and his pride and dignity as a King can fall as fallen.

''I hope your Majesty can weigh up my offer, there is no better candidate to become a Queen, other than my daughter.''

''Okay, I'll think about it.''
