The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

Go Hunting

Ernest's twenty-two-year-old daughter was exiled by King Leon. The decision was forced because at that time, Princess Ernest contracted a strange disease. Rumors that the princess had a contagious disease spread inside the palace because it was inevitably King Leon had to exile his second daughter even though he was not willing.

Princess Ernest did not refuse at all and as long as she was in seclusion, she knew many people. He also knew someone who was from the Holy Order. The man was doing ministry in the place where he was being exiled.

Not a single person knew Princess Ernest because his identity was hidden. During his time in exile, Ernest learned many things. He decided to join the Order of Sudi which turned out to be trying to catch a witch. Ernest also gets a secret mission and this mission is what he must complete and is not yet known by Alena.

It was certainly known by a spy who was stalking him. Ernest is now a threat, so when he returns from exile he is accused of being a witch. The goal was of course to make Ernest a scapegoat and be considered a witch by the whole community so that the original perpetrators and their minions were never suspected by anyone.

Although there was no evidence that Ernest was involved, the issue was reinforced by his condition, which had recovered from exile. He was thought to be allied with the devil to cure an infectious disease that was not curable at all. The issue was further strengthened after anyone saw that the witch was indeed a woman.

At first the issue was not too discussed but after the issue spread widely in the palace, the issue could not be held up again even though king Leon and queen Hana had tried to prevent by giving the death penalty to everyone who dared to talk about the daughter of Ernest even the order to defuse the issue had been issued but the issue still spread quickly outside the palace even the issue was heard by other kingdoms.

That night, before Ernest is attacked by a group that wants to eliminate him. A letter was obtained by Ernest from someone who worked in the Holy Order. The letter he got from a message delivery bird. The letter contained allegations about who the real culprit was and the man asked Ernest out of the palace to meet him but unfortunately while on the way, Ernest was caught and tried so badly.

The real perpetrator certainly knows that, but Ernest who returned alive and well made the perpetrator angry. Intention to get rid of Ernest was not extinguished either, Ernest was the greatest threat to the perpetrator who performed the ritual. Therefore, the evil plan to get rid of Ernest will be carried out later at the hunting event. Surely no one knew of the plan let alone the king and queen.

The entire palace was busy as soon as they were about to set off for the designated hunting arena. The place was not so far away but the place was enough to be an arena for fun. Princess Arabella was busy preparing the items she was about to bring along, as was Ernest.

Amy and Agnes were busy helping the princess, they had to carry thick robes because the air was quite cold especially at night. Not only carrying clothes, but some weapons he also brought just in case. Swords of a long and short size, but the whip is not forgotten. Medicines are not forgotten because anything can happen at the hunting ground later.

"I have a bad feeling, princess," Amy said.

"Me too, I felt something unpleasant was going to happen" Agnes said.

"If you're so careful, remember what I taught you both. There, what looks good is not necessarily good and evil is not necessarily evil so you have to be careful. Don't trust anyone but yourself!" said Alena.

"Why do you say that, Princess? Can't we trust each other?" ask Amy.

"That's not what I mean, we have to trust each other but not others. If you are among the other servants, all you trust is yourself because there could be an intruder among the servants. You understand what I mean, don't you?"

"Of course, princess. We understand" Amy and Agnes replied.

"Good, now hide all the weapons we're carrying. Do not let anyone see what else the queen mother is also Arabella because they could have come and you also have to remember, you have to equip yourself with weapons while in the hunting ground!" Ernest's orders.

"Okay, Princess," Amy and Agnes replied. Princess Ernest looked so serious, they knew it was serious. The hunting grounds are open, anything can happen so they have to protect their daughter.

Amy and Agnes get ready again, they do the princess's orders and as Alena predicted, the queen mother goes into her room to see the state of her daughter. If Ernest's state was still unwell then they couldn't possibly take him along.

"Mother," Ernest immediately stepped closer to his mother.

"What about your situation? If you're still unwell, you better not come with us."

"No, Mommy. I'm fine" said Alena.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I've gotten a lot better even I can't wait to go hunting."

"Can you? Can Mother's daughter shoot a rabbit for mother?"

"Of course, Mother. I'm gonna shoot a rabbit you want."

"Mother is waiting for it, dear. Mother came to see your situation, Mother worried you were still sick and forced yourself."

"No, Mommy. I'm fine."

"All right, hurry up because we'll be leaving soon!"

"Well, Mommy," Alena escorted her mother to the door and after that she returned inside after the door was tightly shut.

"Daughter, if in a hunting place is not safe. Why don't you pretend to be sick so we can stay inside the palace?" ask Agnes.

"No, if I live alone in a palace accompanied only by bodyguards and ministers, I can more easily be killed by the enemy. I'd rather be in a hunting ground because the enemy won't be able to kill me easily because of the large number of people."

"Well, what the princess said is very true. Do not let intruders enter and kill the princess when the king and queen are not around!"

"Therefore, hurry up!"

"Well, princess," Amy and Agnes get ready again, putting together the remaining items.

The King and Queen were already waiting on the horse, leading the troops that were already lined up neatly in front and behind. Prince Lucius was already on horseback, Arabella joined Ernest together. The palace will be closed for one week as they will go hunting for one week.

The drum is already on the tabuh which indicates they can already leave. They also moved towards the hunting ground and no one knew if among the troops that went there were some criminals who would trap Princess Ernest.
