Busodi and his cohort had been convinced that His Majesty the King was ill, so when they saw the King stride out in perfect health, they were utterly dumbfounded.
"How is this possible?" Busodi asked subconsciously, "Weren't you sick?"
The King said, "I was indeed feeling a bit unwell, mainly because of the anger your good queen caused me. I didn't make an appearance these last few days partly because I wished to rest, and partly because I wanted to test Laka's ability to handle official duties. His performance was less than ideal; he still needs to work harder."
Laka immediately stood up, leaning against the wall, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will continue to make efforts!"
The King nodded in approval, "Hmm, your ability to handle matters is insufficient. When necessary, you can seek advice from your aunt. Although she is a princess, she has her own unique insights in many areas, so you should ask her for more guidance."
