00142. Une surprise de l'Empire Astoria pour le roi Robelia (Surprise of the Astorian Empire to King Robelia)
“Marriage date already specified, Your Highness.”
The man, who works as a royal legal adviser, appeared to speak while reading some yellow sheets of paper scattered on the table.
“The first day of the third week in autumn. The wedding will take place that day,” he continued. “Nona Claudiane has also traveled from Carlisle.”
His interlocutor who sat quietly in front of the workbench occasionally nodded. She had already chosen an escort candidate, where the woman is currently in Carlisle, one part of the United Kingdom. The woman has also sent a letter, saying in the letter that she will soon return home to talk about the engagement until the wedding. However, his return would be a little late, as he had to stop by Harrogate first.
One week has passed after the after party event that invited the Lady who entered the consideration list with their guardians. The king has also held secret meetings several times to build relations. Although disappointed, the guardians of the Lady who entered the list of considerations still have the desire to make their daughter as a woman of the king. As a result, King Robelia lure them with other rewards if they want to build a relationship with him.
During that one week, Katarina was punished. The woman was barred from exiting the back pavilion of the royal harem. Rumors of a Tier IV concubine being locked up by her own lover had spread, but King Robelia quickly rebuffed. He should not make the Catherine faction wonder, so he said that Katarina was recently ill and needed a special place for intensive care. On the other hand, King Robelia also began to intensively investigate the movements of Klautviz de Mere.
“Why in the end did Her Majesty choose Lady Claudiane?” the question was raised by his right hand that had returned to its normal state.
After being treated by a single daughter d’Oclean, his condition had indeed recovered by one hundred percent. All of that is of course thanks to the antidote from King Robelia and the tenacity of Lady d’Oclean in caring for her.
“Did Your Majesty forget that Lady Claudiane still wears the Kadheston surname behind her name?”
“I did not forget,” replied the King Robelia. “Claudiane married one of my relatives, then became part of the Kadheston family. However, her husband had fallen on the battlefield.”
Kaelus seems still unable to read the intentions and goals of King Robelia who suddenly chose Lady Claudiane as his future wife. The widow of her relative, a Kadheston, has long lived in the United Kingdom, more precisely in Carlisle.
From her background, Lady Claudiane was indeed not an indiscriminate woman. He was born to a family of aristocrats, namely the Grand Duke Balico family who still has the royal blood of Berg. After marrying one of Kadheston's descendants, they briefly lived in Berg, before moving to Carlisle. A place where farms and large estates belonging to their families are located.
“Claudine is the most suitable candidate for this time.” Kaizen said to convey to his right hand—Kaelus—who still did not understand his intention and purpose. “She can realize the palatonic marriage that I want and do not mind to be a surrogate mother for my successor.”
Claudine is the most suitable candidate. At least that's what Kaizen thought when making that decision. Of the many Lady, only Claudine wants to be invited to work together to do a palatonic wedding. Claudine also did not mind if she had to be a surrogate mother or just a mother who gave birth to Kaizen's successor. Claudine's characters are also unlike Katarina's, although they have some similarities.
Many people do not expect if Kaizen finally chose to make Claudine as a future wife. The childless widow of her late relative had long lived outside Robelia. However, most of his family still dabbled in Robelia. Kaizen happens to contact Claudine through her family members who are still in Robelia. One of Claudine's family members is a Countess who happens to be a close friend of Katarina's. So it is not surprising that Katarina will feel very betrayed, when she knows that her close friends are intermediaries between the relationship between Kaizen and Claudine.
“Your Majesty did not find out in advance about the full identity of Dowager Duchess Claudine?”
“I've known Claudine enough, even long before she married one of my relatives.” Kaizen said casually. He has indeed quite a lot of information about his new wife. “Claudine is also listed as one of Kayena's good associates at social gatherings. His past is clean. His background will also not be in question when he becomes my companion.”
Kaelus nodded small. This time King Robelia looked very careful when she was about to make a decision. He believed that the King had learned much from experience. In addition, they must be smart to rotate the brain to fight Klautviz de Mere. Although there has been no visible movement, it does not rule out the possibility if the crafty man moves under the radar.
“I also want to convey something, Your Highness.” Kaelus revealed his purpose of visiting Kaizen that afternoon. From the window that became the background of the King, he could enjoy the view of reddish yellow leaves that were falling. Beautiful scenery that can reduce a little anxiety.
“What do you have? New information about Uncle Klautviz?”
“Not, Your Grace. This information came from the Astoria Empire.”
“Astoria Empire?” Kaizen seemed to frown upon hearing the name of the famous peaceful empire. “What do you get? Information about my queen again?”
Kaelus seemed to be about to nod, but was again undone. “Information I got more about Young Eagle Empire.”
“Kaezar? How could that bastard be there?”
Kaizen immediately picked it up, then started reading. Not until five minutes, the leaflet had already ended up being a lump of crumpled paper in his fist. “How can the bastard child be appointed to the Astoria Imperial family?”
“I don't know either, Your Majesty. The people we sent only get a little information related to this problem.”
Kaizen gave a rough sigh. He had never expected that there was a close relationship between Kaezar and the Astorian Imperial family. Since breaking away from the Robelia royal family, the man has gone with Khayansar and Cesare. There was once information that Kaezar returned to Sicily to complete his responsibilities as Archduke of Sicily. After completing his duties, Kaezar left Sicily with Khayansar and Cesare. Kaizen thought they were going to the United Kingdom. Who would have thought if they had even gone to the Southeast?
“Moreover the information you get, Kaelus?”
“Not much information I got, Your Honor. The appearance of the Imperial Young Eagle in the Astoria Empire was apparently followed by the emergence of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Carlt, namely Duke Cesare.” Kaelus again explained the information he got. “In addition, the truth about the identity of the woman who was heavily guarded by Emperor Astoria has also been revealed.”
“So, who is that woman Emperor Astoria protected? is she really my queen?” kaizen asked in a hurry.
Kaelus continued on. “The very special treated woman was apparently the wife of the adopted sister of Emperor Astoria.”
“You mean ...?”
“Impire Young Eagle Wife, Your Highness.” Kaelus completes the unfinished sentence of the king. “The woman was introduced as the wife of Prince Kwang Min on the same day as her coronation as Prince Astoria.”
“Must be!” kaizen exclaimed furiously. “You said the woman was most likely my queen—Kayena, because there was an indication of a resemblance between them. How can my queen be the wife of that bastard child?”
“Quiet first, Your Highness.” Caelus tried to appease the king who had gone out of control.
“Omong empty what you just said!” Kaizen exclaimed angrily after standing up from her work chair. “That time you said that a woman who looked like Kayena would most likely be Empress Astoria, because she was treated very special by Emperor Astoria. Now you're telling me that woman is the wife of that bastard child? which one should I trust!”
Kaelus breathed a heavy sigh. “It looks like the initial information I got was wrong, Your Honor. There may also have been a misunderstanding, as the woman lived in a special compound for the Empress. However, it was recently revealed that the woman was the wife of the Imperial Young Eagle.”
Kaizen is at a loss for words when she reaches Kaelus.
“This information was reinforced with a strict escort made directly by the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Carlt around the wife of the Imperial Young Eagle. Even the face of the woman was also shown openly to the people.” Kaelus looked at the King Robelia with all his remaining confidence. “According to the narrations of the people we sent, the woman who became the wife of the Imperial Young Eagle was indeed Queen Kayena.”
Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, that second Kaizen also felt his ears ringing loudly. So hard, he almost staggered if not holding on to the edge of the worktable. “You're kidding, Kaelus?”
Kaelus immediately took a kneeling position before Kaizen. His head bowed deeply, before returning a voice. “I will accept any punishment given by you if I lie. Not a bit of information is the same manipulation,” he said boldly. “Queen Kayena is a woman protected by Emperor Astoria. Currently, Queen Kayena is known as one of Gunbuin—julukan for the wife of a prince. Their marriage had symbolically been performed in the Astoria Empire.”
“No!” kaizen snapped, angry. “I won't let my queen belong to anyone else, let alone to that bastard.”
