The Silent King's
Mistakes
Everyone looked at me as I walked out of my classroom. I'm sure they're wondering how could someone like me be a royal, or should I be a member of a royal family. However, I tried to ignore all those gazes. In addition, the news spread so quickly and can not be dammed again. People began to talk about the thing that had just happened, even though the Palace had not issued any statements.
I left school in a situation that raised a lot of questions. The question continues to develop into dangerous rumors and can lead to fake news. Although, I'm sure the palace will soon settle this matter. The retinue of soldiers who brought me speeding towards the Palace of Beverus, so that only in a short time, we finally arrived at the Palace which was marked by the faint appearance of the fence Beverus Palace towering from inside the military car.
I can't wait to meet the royal family, I'm sure they have a good reason for what's going on right now. The car I was riding started to enter the neighborhood of Beverus Palace. From a distance, we see Mr. Starni was standing in front of the entrance of Zarius Palace. Mr. Starni immediately approached the military car group that entered the Zarius Palace. I'm with Mr. Starni rushed to the negotiation room located in Alverus Palace. I walked for a few minutes until I ended up in front of a large door made of teak wood. When the big door opened, I saw all the members of the royal family arguing in the room. Everyone in the room stopped arguing and started looking at me.
"Welcome Crown Prince" said my aunt. Hearing that, it surprised me. I didn't expect this to come first when I was still confused about what was going on.
"Wait, I don't understand what's really going on here! Am I wrong that 15 days ago my father died and is still in mourning? Am I wrong?" I'm being tough on everyone in this room. They all fell silent. From the beginning I entered the room, grandma kept watching me as well as when I was angry.
"Come with me, you obviously have to talk to me, son," my grandmother said as she walked into another room. Spontaneously I followed him.
"I understand you're mad at me, at all the members of the royal family." Someone closed the door to this room. Now it's just me and my grandma in this room. I try my best not to get angry right now.
"Why?" Tanyaku.
"Trust me, I don't want this to happen today, but circumstances force me to change it immediately,"
"I don't understand,"
"Parliament will immediately activate the Intervention Rule to overcome the problems of the palace throne. They assume the palace cannot provide certainty about the next heir to the throne. You must know that your sister doesn't have enough age to be the heir to the throne, right?"
"Why my sister?"
"They don't know where you are, they assume only your sister has the right to be heir to the throne" my grandmother said as she tried to sit on a chair.
"I know you're mad at me for making things uncontrollable, but I'm doing this solely to make you the next heir to the throne. I don't want parliament to interfere in the affairs of the palace,"
"Then, Grandma did this to deal with it?"
"If there is any better way than this then grandma is ready to take any risk" replied my grandmother as she tried to hold my hand. I closed my eyes and tried to stay calm.
"Be yourself, we've planned your introductions at 14:00. I need you to prepare it. You don't have to worry about your mother, because now she's in a safe location,"
I tried to stay calm and follow my grandmother's direction. I trust my grandmother completely, I know she did this because she had no other alternative solution before parliament acted. After talking to my grandmother I became calmer than before.
Intervention Rule, perhaps this is one of the Acts that triggered the revolution of the Kingdom of Sobraska. Its existence can change the system of government. This is what triggered today's incident. I've seen the royal family's unease. They did not want to let go of anything they were holding right now. My position right now is not favorable. On the one hand I do not like this, but on the other hand as strong as I refuse, I still cannot choose to be born in which family. I was destined to be part of the royal family and I had a responsibility to protect her.
The horrendous events at Tamarxal High School and Tamarxal Medical Center, where my mother worked, made all social media reports about it. Thousands of comments simultaneously filled the websites associated with the palace. Not only that, my personal account also did not escape this comment attack. Various types of comments appear, ranging from comments that question what is going on, malicious comments and much more. I can't even use my smartphone right now. Social media, SMS, chat apps, phone calls are all full of new messages. So full, it forced me to turn it off.
The Palace Press Conference Room...
"The palace promises to answer your questions in the next few hours" the palace spokesman replied as he was asked questions from reporters who had been waiting for him. The atmosphere of the press conference room was very boisterous with many questions that kept coming out of the reporters. The spokesman immediately left the room, his face very wrinkled.
"Oh my God, I can't stand it!" Shouted the woman as she entered the spokesman's room.
"You got over it, didn't you?" Asked a middle-aged man while blowing on the coffee he had just made, "I heard them like they were in a demo" he added, sipping a small sip of coffee.
"Be quiet, how did it go? Has the palace set a schedule?" Ask the spokeswoman, who is now sitting in her chair and tries to ignore the man drinking the coffee.
"Of course, nothing is certain right now." Answer the woman in formal brown clothes who had been looking at her laptop. However, when he looked back at the monitor, he immediately shouted, "It's out! They're gonna have a press conference at 14:00." Hearing that, everyone in the room looked at the clock and now showed it at 13:50.
Mr. Starni directed me to go to the Press Conference room at Zarius Palace according to the direction of the Queen Mother. Seen from a distance that the room was so crowded and rowdy, there were also dozens of reporters and cameramen preparing to pick up people who would talk in front. Time showed at 13:53, I immediately prepared for the Press Conference room. This is the first time I've ever appeared in public, everyone will look at me and judge me. The Palace Secretariat gave me a piece of paper whose content was to introduce myself as the king's son.
I've changed my school clothes to Royal formal clothes. I wear a brown shirt on the back of which is embroidered with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sobraska. Likewise with my pants are plain brown, adjusting to the clothes I wear. I hurried into the Pres Conference room.
I walked past the Spokesman's room. They paid my respects, but I saw some people looking confused when they saw me. I tried to ignore it and focus on the task I was going to do. All of the camera's eyes and lenses finally pointed at me when I entered the room. This room is bigger than any other room. Before I head to the podium, I greet everyone first by bowing my body.
"Hallo everyone, maybe you don't know me. This is the first time I've appeared in public." After I spoke, the room became so quiet, no one let out a sound.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Ezra Cornellius Rafeld. The first son of King Thomas Rafeld II and I am the Crown Prince." The room became rowdy again after that.
