The Second Life's

LXIII - Sudden Hoopla

For about two hours I was served by the servants, now my hair is being styled by one of the skinny servants. I sighed for a moment. Isla's face as my mind was blank. My great guilt has not yet worn off. Though Ava says it's a consequence, though Isaac says that he's okay .., and even though Lucas says just take it easy. My guilt has not gone anywhere.

Chloe came in after giving my letter to the courier. He seemed to catch my worries. He is very young, but he is very mature to be in the situation he is in. My mellow feeling always comes on suddenly. I mean, I can't run out of material to think about. Or my guilt will continue to be present. And it makes me weak.

I am still grateful for the medicine given by Ava. If only there was no cure, I would have been knocked down face to face with Idris. That's more than enough.

“Thank you for your help, you can go,” I told the waiters when I was done with the job. They all smiled then looked down respectfully, before finally leaving my room.

“Are you not gone yet, Chloe?” ask her. “Holly must have missed you. You haven't even said good farewell to her.”

“Is the Queen thinking of something?” Chloe ignored my words. “Queen's Face looks moody.”

I smiled and stood up. “I'll have Anna prepare a carriage to the Bronze Palace for you. You must return there until you are appointed as a lady-in-waiting with another candidate.”

Chloe said nothing more. He followed my words. Right ..., so much better. Chloe can't figure out why Isla's missing. That'll make me dizzy.

I got out of my room, then went to the living room. As I thought, Hendery was bored. He had even been lying on a long sofa while closing his eyes. Hendery's behavior is like being in his own home.

“Oh no, Emperor arrived!” seruku as powerful as possible.

Hendery who was originally lying down, immediately jumped in shock. He stood up and looked at me half-consciously. I laughed for the first time after becoming Queen. The man in front of me is easily lied to.

“Where is Emperor?” ask Hendery.

“Nothing,” I replied casually, while sitting on a small sofa near Hendery standing. “Mr Franklin I've lied to.”

“Since when is the Queen so smart to lie?” Hendery sat back on the long sofa where he had been lying down earlier.

“Entahlah ..., maybe since I was born again,” said I origin.

Hendery laughs. “Now the Queen is even funny .... Does blending in love with the Emperor make the Queen's personality different?”

Hendery's question made the mood I'd built to stay good, gradually deteriorate. I blatantly expressed my dislike for the question asked by him. I'm pouting.

“Ah, sorry. I forgot that the Queen didn't like that at all, ” whispered with a sorry look. “Do not put in the heart ...”

“Be quiet,” my orders with magic. “Never discuss my first night with the Emperor. I don't like that.”

Hendery nodded. His tongue is muddy and he cannot speak because I told him to be quiet. I also released my magic and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Queen is too sensitive,” hiss Hendery. “Oh yes, I came here to question my inauguration to be the Queen's personal knight. How's it going?”

I folded my hands forward. Putting on a bored face due to Hendery's impatience. “Tomorrow, come here again.”

“True tomorrow, right?” Hendery looked at me expectantly. “I'm afraid if the Queen will lie to me again.”

“This time I'm serious. Now, Mr. Franklin just go home,” I said in a slow tone. “Don't forget to wear the complete knight uniform of Mr. Franklin.”

Hendery nodded. “Alright, Queen.” He smiled happily.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Is this about Idris' father?

“Queen! Your in-laws ... died!” exclaim that waitress.

On target. It turns out that today came. The death of the Emperor was inevitable. My knees were limp and absolutely could not be moved for a moment. Idris knew that and let his father die. What kind of child is he? He said not to interfere in the affairs of Ayahanda ..., but look what happened? Fucking men.

I clenched my hand in annoyance. But my frustration was broken by Hendery's hand. I looked at him confused.

“Quiet, Queen ...”

“Yes, thank you, Mr. Franklin,”. I turned my eyes to the servant who reported the death of Father Idris. “Ask the coachman to prepare the car. I will go to the Imperial Palace right now.”

“Ba-Good!” The waiter passed.

“Go home, Mr. Franklin,” I said as I stood up and walked out of the room. My mind was in a fog and could not think clearly.

“Is the Queen sure if the Queen is okay?” ask Hendery.

“Ya .., I'm fine,” I said calmly. I was outside the palace, and my carriage was ready. “Then, excuse me. See you tomorrow ..., or maybe the day after.”

“No need to force yourself.”

I smiled bitterly and got into the car. We came face to face before my carriage finally left the Queen's Palace.

“Wah, this beautiful lady is very suitable to wear the dress I gave her,” said Emperor XIX. “What Miss likes it?”

I nodded happily as I received a dress as beautiful as this. The emperor looked young. We chatted in the gazebo in the park and saw Idris practicing with an uncle I didn't know. The queen is nowhere to be seen.

“What do you think of my son?” ask Emperor XIX. “He's handsome, isn't he?”

I just nodded. Not understanding the intent of Emperor XIX. I'm six years old, I don't understand complicated adult speech. So, I'll do it.

Emperor XIX smiled and rubbed my head. I like that thing. He was a very considerate figure after both my parents. Although the beginning was somewhat sinister, Emperor XIX turned out to be very good.

“You don't if Idris becomes your future husband?” ask Emperor XIX again.

“What's the father talking to Charlotte?” Idris asked who had finished training. Idris is two years older than me. I kept quiet while watching the two of them.

Emperor XIX laughed. “So much did you like Miss Charlotte so much that you didn't like it when your father talked to her?”

Likey?

“Ayahanda!” Idris was shocked. Again, I don't understand what they're talking about. But, hearing them talk while spreading each other smiles which makes me smile too. I became sad and happy at the same time.

Emperor XIX .., my memory of him in my childhood is very faint. However, after I lost it, I wasn't even able to see it for the last time. It's a very sad dream. I want to wake up right now.
