The Lord's Concubine
The Debate of Ivan VS King

"It's just that I can't work any longer with you, Lord King. I feel guilty because all this time I just kept quiet when Farra was treated arbitrarily in this house. Farra never made the mistake you accused her of."

The king is twitching his temple. He did not expect it turned out that the resignation made by his confidants was only because of Farra. The village girl who had made both her parents died tragically on the same day.

"It turns out it's all because of Farra?" The king looked at Ivan full of probes. "Do you love that girl, Ivan?" continued.

Ivan shook his head slowly.

"Lord King, can you open your eyes just a little and see the truth. You are wrong if you have always considered Farra as a seductive woman. The woman who had seduced the late Mr. Hendrik was just for a piece of material."

The king put on a lazy face. "Then?"

"Forgive me, if my words this time offend you, Lord King. However, what I said this time was the truth you should know. Actually, it was the late Mr. Hendrik who had been infatuated with Farra's innocence, Mr. Hendrik even forced Mrs Nurmala to marry him to the girl. Farra is powerless to refuse, just as you proposed to her. His little sister was always the mainstay weapon of Mrs Nurmala to silence the girl so that she could not refuse the match," said Ivan with a face full of regret.

"I'm so sorry, sir. Why am I just silent when I could have petrified Farra out of her misery all this time" continued Ivan with teary eyes.

The king got up from the bed and approached Ivan in a hurry. His face reddened, he was furious that Ivan had dared to vilify his late father.

"What did you say, huh?! It was my father who had been teasing the girl all this time?! I think you're the one who should have opened your heart's eyes so you don't get fooled by the girl's innocent face! Because if you've been caught in the trap, then you'll never be able to get out!" upset King while gripping the collar of the shirt being worn by Ivan.

Ivan shook his head. He had tried to tell the truth to the King, but the man remained firm in his belief that Farra had been a seductive woman all along.

"Now get out of here! I don't want to see your face anymore, Ivan. Do you think I can't get someone like you?! Lost one growing a thousand, Ivan! Now go and never show your face in front of me again!"

The king released his grip then pointed towards the door of the room.

"Go!" her word.

Ivan bowed respectfully to the Lord King before he actually left the room.

"Thank you, Lord King."

Ivan stepped out of the room without looking at the King who was still staring at him.

Ivan was surprised when he saw Vania standing next to the door of the room while eavesdropping on her conversation with Mr. King. Vania smiled sinisterly as she waved her hand at Ivan.

Ivan returned the woman's smile then bowed respectfully. "Bye, Miss Vania."

After Ivan disappears from his sight, Vania rushes in and tries to comfort the still upset King.

"Dear, relax!" Vania hugged the King from the side while stroking the man's back.

"I'm upset, Vania! The person I trusted the most, apparently left me only to defend Farra! Who is he! I am sure that soon Ivan will return and beg for his work. However, the moment it happened, I made sure I already had a replacement for him. Let him regret having given up his job just to defend the girl. Goddamnit!" king's Ogat.

"Already, already! Remember, you're sick, honey," said Vania, trying to appease the King who was really angry.

The king did not even realize that at that time his head was getting sick because Vania was stuck in his body like a lizard. Upon realizing that, the King released Vania's embrace and then dodged.

"Yes, you're right."

The king returned to the bed and leaned there. While Vania was silent in her place standing with her face bent perfectly because the King rejected her again.

"Until when will you avoid me like this, King? If you keep rejecting me, so why would you choose to keep me? Why don't you choose that woman" upset Vania who then left the King.

The king smiled sinisterly then threw his pillow on the floor. "Good, God! Keep going, get everyone to leave me! Let me be alone here" he said with an annoyed face.

Meanwhile.

Ivan who is now driving his car intends to find the whereabouts of Farra. He traced the path from the Nurmala residence recently while watching his surroundings.

Not far away, he finally found Nurmala sitting under a tree. The middle-aged woman looked exhausted and she let go of her fatigue by hanging there.

Ivan stopped his car not far from where Nurmala was sitting. While the woman watched the car that stopped in front of her carefully. After finding out who the owner of the car was, Nurmala also screeched while throwing her face.

"Heh, you! It turns out that you are not satisfied to see my misery" Nurmala said harshly.
