I searched and stood up, “Your Majesty!”
“What are you going to do?” The King asked him.
“I will go!”
An unwanted partner.
Edward’s Point Of View
Erik was going undercover. They couldn’t believe what they heard. They thought he was joking.
His reason was acceptable. He is the illegitimate child of his father. Because of that, he was rumored to be hated by their people, and he always contradicts me. People believe that he will betray the royal family.
My father didn’t listen to his reasons, pointing at him, he shouted, “You are not qualified to attend such an important meeting! Get out of here!”
Erik stood motionless. I saw his determination and his tears of injustice.
Seeing that he didn’t move at all, my father shouted at the guards, “Guards! What are you waiting for?” At this time, several soldiers came in from the outside and dragged Erik out like a dog.
Erik didn’t resist. I also saw his tears slid down his cheeks. Nobody tried to make a noise after the scene. The meeting lasted until midnight, and finally, no other countermeasures were discussed.
I walked out of the conference room and passed by the tennis court behind the building. I heard a sound. So, I walked in and saw Erik practicing against the wall under the dim light. He smashed his racket hard as if he were venting his dissatisfaction. I saw him sweating all over.
“How long have you been playing?” I asked.
He didn’t stop nor answer. I don’t know if he was too absorbed to notice me or didn’t want to talk to me at all, so I walked near the wall while he’s still playing. But, the ball flew near me, making a loud sound as it touched the wall. I couldn’t move.
He swung his racket again, and this time the ball was about to hit me. But subconsciously, I reached out and grabbed it directly. Erik was shocked to see my quick response. He wheezed and gasped.
I walked towards him with the ball in my hand. When I was in front of him, I grabbed his hand and put the ball in it. “Brother, I will help you!” I said.
In the morning, Mathew came to my room to wake me up,”His Royal Highness, an exclusive interview with BCC was arranged today, at 9:30 in the third reception room.”
I slowly opened my eyes to see that it was still 5 in the morning. I didn’t get enough sleep. I turned to him and said, “There is still plenty of time, Mathew, and I just slept two hours ago!”
I turned my back on him, but he grabbed my quilt and put his cold hands on my back. I stared at him while I was sitting. “Matthew! I am not a child!” I snarled, then threw the pillow at him in a rage.
Mathew was old and had gray hair. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Your Highness, but after so many years, this trick still works!”
I got up and lazily prepared for the day. I didn’t like Today’s breakfast. I looked at my watch to see that it was only 6 am in the morning. I thought that I could still sleep. I asked Matthew “I still got 3 hours before the interview. Should I go back to sleep?”
Matthew shook his head and said, “The reason why I woke you up so early is that the Queen wants to see you!”
I wonder why mother wants to see me. She knows I don’t like waking up early. “How unusual?” I said to myself. I followed Matthew to my mother’s bedroom.
When we arrived at her room, I saw her sitting on the sofa, looking very regal. I quickly walked over and sat down beside my mother, “Mom, you look good!”
She looks pleased. “Yes, my baby, I feel much better today than before!”
“Is the treatment method of British medical experts on menstruation effective?” I asked urgently.
She nodded, “Yes, there are still many ways for Alen!”
My heart suddenly filled with joy. I still remember my mother’s appearance during her childhood. She was cheerful and excited. Even if she is the mother of a country, she remains kind. She also loved to mingle with people from different walks of life, and even his father, who does not know how to smile, smiled when she saw her.
Those years were the happiest and most pleasant days for my father. They also told him about their adventure going to the countryside to experience the difficulty and sufferings of the farmers and then formulated a series of policies conducive to agricultural development.
Later, when the villagers found out that it was the king and queen who had been working with them all that time. They built a statue of them in their village to show their gratitude.
But when my mother got sick, my father’s attitude changed back to being ruthless and cold.
If my mother can recover, it will be a great thing for me, for my father, and this country.
Mother called me so early in the morning. It’s not just that she wanted me to see her in good condition. “I asked you to come here to show you this!” She handed me a photo.
I looked at it carefully. I saw a woman dressed in a maid uniform, It’s very delicate, but it’s hard to say it’s beautiful. Looking at her and the view behind her. He concluded that the photo was taken 20 years ago.
