Chapter 160: The News About The Death Of The King?
(3rd Person POV)
.....
........
....
While Alex and his woman busy conquering the Hell Desert, somewhere in the Capital city of Gharam Kingdom, Ashbern.....
Inside the room of one of the normal buildings within the capital city, a woman holding a little girl on her lap, peacefully looking at the outside scenery beyond the window.
Ordinary small bedroom with a decent interior.
Not too gaudy nor luxurious, but looked comfortable.
Contrary to the small modest room, the woman and little girl who sat near the window are more eye-catching.
A mature beauty who had an otherworldy enchanting face that could bring the fall of a country, as well as the majestic temperament hidden within her seemingly ordinary and simple clothes.
The woman surely didn't have an ordinary identity, as its temperament only could be found from someone who has standing.
On the other hand, for the little girl who was playing with the doll on her lap, her fair skin, as well as the chubby cute appearance, showed that she was a child from a wealthy family.
[mama~ when will we go back to big big house?]
The little girl who was playing with something like a doll in her hand obediently asked her mom behind her after seemingly bored playing with her doll.
Seeing the little girl questioning gaze, the woman smiled and patted her cute little head gently.
[Be patient, Cecilia is a smart girl, right? so please bear it for a while and stay here for the time being with mom okay?]
[Um!]
She patted her head and absentmindedly looking at the outside scenery once again.
As for the little girl named Cecilia, she looked at the doll once again before playing with it.
..
....
Tok tok* knocking door SFX
The sound of the door in the room, suddenly resounded while the beautiful mother and daughter enjoying their peaceful time.
[Enter]
Without looking back in the direction of the door, the beautiful mature woman briefly gave her permission to the people who knocked on the door to enter.
Clak* Opened Door SFX
[Excuse me]
As the door opened, two people slowly entered the simple room.
They are a well-dressed middle-aged couple.
Seeing their appearance, the word "noble" surely will appear inside all people's minds who saw them.
But the weird thing is, when they entered this simple room, they acted very politely as if the woman and the children who were in this room have a higher status than them.
Seeing the two of them entered the room, the little girl, Cecilia's face suddenly brighten a lot.
She was getting down from her mother's lap and running toward the middle-aged couple direction as she started to shout,
[Aunty Helena! Uncle Richard! You're here!]
When the middle-aged couple hearing the Little girl called their name they brightly smiled with a very polite face at her and bowed their head.
Helena and Richard.
They are the mysterious couple who once go to Arkhaim town for their mysterious agenda.
[Princess Cecilia, I'm glad that you look healthy today~]
The middle-aged woman, Helena politely bowed her head to the little girl and greeted her with a motherly face.
It's turned out the identity of the little girl was a princess.
Considering how the middle-aged couple called her a princess, there's only one in this entire kingdom, the daughter of the Second Queen of Gharam Kingdom and the Gharam the III.
[Mumumu, I told you to not act boringly like that in front of me right?]
Cecilia pouted and said while hugging her doll adorably.
[Cecilia, go play with the maid downstairs, Mama want to talk some important thing with them]
While the middle-aged couple and the little girl greeting each other, the mother of the princess's voice suddenly resounded.
Just as the woman's voice resounded, all of a sudden, a maid suddenly appear from outside the room and trying to lift up the little princess's body.
[Princess~ let's play downstairs ~]
At first, Cecilia wanted to refuse to listen to her mother's command.
She still wants to play and talked with a middle-aged couple, and so, she evaded the maid's hands and turned her head toward her mother's expression.
[Mumumu]
Seeing that her mother glared at her with a serious gaze, she abandoned any thought to complain and obediently getting lifted up by the maid.
The maid who lifting up the princess bowed her head to the middle-aged couple and the woman deeply before departing with the princess in hand and leaving the room.
Seeing that the little princess already leaving the room, the woman stood up from her seat, before closing the window altogether closing its curtain one by one, making the room suddenly became darker.
After closing the windows and curtains, she walked back to her seat once again and sat.
Confirming that the woman in front of them already sit on her seat comfortably once again, the middle-aged couple suddenly kneeled in front of her and started to politely greet her.
[We see the highness Second Queen, Gabrielle Von Di Gharam!]
It turned out that the identity of the woman is the Second Queen of Gharam Kingdom, one of the famous Twin Pearl of the Western Sea.
[Please stand up~]
With permission from the woman, the second Queen Gabrielle Von Di Gharam, the middle-aged couple stood up politely with grace.
[Helena, Richard, I'm sorry to make the two of you roaming around like this]
[Your Highness, please be at ease, we just doing our duty to protect this kingdom!]
Richard replied to the second queen with a solemn face.
[Your Highness, we bring some news about the heated situation in the Capital]
This time, it was the wife of Richard, Helena who stated to the second Queen.
[Umu, please speak Helena]
Getting permission from the second Queen, Helena nodded her head before speaking,
....
[Your Highness, we heard there's already a rumor about some of the aristocratic family behind the second prince started amassing and gathering their private army]
[So, they already began to make their move those ungrateful foxes surely move faster than I expected.
Helena, did you hear something that makes them make their move faster than expected like this?]
[You highness I didn't know about the truthfulness for the next news we bring So...]
Helena paused and turning her head toward her husband Richard.
Feeling the gaze from his wife, Richard also turning at her and gaze at her for a while.
Seemingly deciding something, they nodded toward each other.
After confirming with her husband, Helena turned her head toward the queen once again and started speaking,
[Your Highness, we heard some news from the maid inside the castle that the King, Alexandro di Gharam, Gharam the III, passed away two days ago]
Hearing this unbelievable news, the Second Queen, Gabrielle flinched.
The pupil in her eyes suddenly contracted, as an unbelievable expression appeared on her face.
.....
She silently observing Helena's face, trying to find any trace of a lie in it.
.....
Sigh
After about 30 seconds, Gabrielle suddenly exhaled her breath and calmed herself.
[Leaving aside the news that you bring is true or not, ... Helena, did you hear some news about the first Queen Quatzel?]
.
[I'm sorry there's still no news about her majesty the first Queen.
But, her majesty we heard some disturbing move about the Duke Grenfilts faction these days...]
[Grenfilts? The one who used the third prince? What about him? If I remember it correctly, you guys told me that he was clashing with some mysterious powerhouse who just suddenly appeared at Federic house territory?]
[We believe it so, but there's something that quite disturbing about their movement
Her Majesty, I believe her majesty knew about the infamous imbecile womanizer son of the Duke Grenfilts]
[What about him?]
[Recently, we heard a lot of ominous rumors about him
But there's one among the many rumors that take our attention..]
[Continue~]
[Yes,.
Maybe this will sound ridiculous for your majesty
But we heard something that quite disturbing coming from that son of the Duke Grenfilts.
I heard that he started gathering a lot of noble's daughter of the noble from the neutral faction at a fast rate, making them his lover and amassing more political power and force under the Duke Grenfilts]
[What?!!]
Hearing a piece of ridiculous news coming out from Helena's mouth, the second Queen suddenly shouting in shock!
She stood up from her seat abruptly and started walking back and forth restlessly.
[This is bad
In my calculation, I already predicted that Duke Grenfilts faction will be slowly crumbled by itself, considering the huge gap of power between the two factions
Now, with more noble joining him, he surely will gradually convince his faction to continue amassing fighting force
.
This is bad
If we let them continue further, the situation will become more out of hand, and will resulting more blood being shed during this power struggle in the near future]
[Your majesty should we also start moving our hidden force and hinder the Duke Grenfilts faction to grow further?]
Hearing the suggestion coming from Helena, the Second Queen, Gabrielle suddenly stopped, and slowly back into her seat.
.....
Before long, the restless face of the second queen gradually changed into normal.
[We can't.
With the sister- I mean the first Queen still missing, we can't recklessly make a move right now
....]
......
After giving her thought, Gabrielle started touching her chin and began to run her brain at maximum speed.
Looking at her like this, the middle-aged couple decided to hold their breath in silence to not disturb the second Queen.
They know when the Second Queen began to touch her chin like this, that's mean that she began to deeply think to find a solution.
..
The silent atmosphere continued for a while, before all of a sudden,
[Right!!]
Gabrielle suddenly stood up and said!
[The Mysterious powerhouse!
I think we can make deal with him using Federic house as middle man!
I believe when he heard that we will assist him to deal with the Duke Grenfilts, he will help us to destroy the duke faction without us making a big movement
As for the rest, with the preparation we already make, we can surely stabilize the Kingdom's political situation after finding the First Queen!]
[[Ah!]]
Hearing the brilliant plan coming out from the second Queen Gabrielle, the middle-aged couple started to gasp, and lit up their eyes in excitement!
