The Uncle's Words Make the King's Mind

"I don't know honey... maybe she's in her room because your father has been calling them to talk to them about something", said her mother to Ella.

Ella immediately looked for Maia in her father's room. “Father… where is Queen Maia? Is she currently with king Emin? did you meet them? because mom said that dad just called them," Ella asked her father.

The father also stated that King Emin and Maia had returned to their room, and the father forbade Ella to disturb King Emin and Maia at that time.

It's just that Ella feels that she wants to talk to Maia because for her Maia is a woman who seems to be able to share ideas.

“Father... I wants to meet Queen Maia, besides there is an important matter that I want to talk to her about. And this is very important because it deals with women's affairs only,” said Ella to her father.

Again and again, the father told Ella if she wanted to talk about one thing about women, why not with her mother? This makes the father suspicious of Ella and Maia.

"Why don't you just talk or vent with your mother, isn't she also a woman like you, right?", said the father to his daughter who was still clean and hard to meet Maia.

“No, father… this is a different conflict, right, we're both young women… I just want to talk to my queen, if you don't want to listen to my complaints at all. who knows Queen Maia will be able to provide a better solution than what mother used to tell me," said Ella as she left the room.

"Indeed this child, but never mind ... let it be their business," said Ella's father.

Ella then immediately went to the king's room Emin and Maia, but when she wanted to walk to the king's room Ella then met the king with some of his soldiers.

"King... Where are you going? Is queen Maia in her room? There is something I want to tell her," asked Ella to the king. Because the king of Emin felt very rushed, the king immediately stated that Maia was in his room.

"Queen Maia is in her room, you can enter the room but don't disturb her," said the king curtly. Ella became very confused at the statement from the king Emin.

Ella then ignored her king's words and immediately walked toward Maia's room. "Knock... Knock... Knock".

Maia who was sitting quietly, was surprised to hear a knock on the door from the direction of her bedroom door. Maia then tried to wipe her tears and immediately walked to open the door to her room.

When Maia opened the door to the room, Maia found that Ella was knocking on her door with a very happy face when she looked at Maia. At that time Ella looked at Maia and saw Maia's eyes were red.

"Why are you queen? Why are your eyes red? Did you fight with king Emin?” Ella asked frantically.

Maia then pulled Ella into the room and immediately closed and locked the room. Ella felt very strange about the behavior the queen showed to her.

“Queen… hey, what are you doing? Come on, tell me. I'm sure the queen was crying earlier right? Come on confess to me", Ella provoked Maia. And Maia also tried to sit Ella on the sofa and she tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath.

"There's not much I want to talk to you about La... but this is all just advice from your father to me and also the king Emin. Your father told us to have children soon and he could have grandchildren very quickly.”

"To reject words from the outside about me who don't have children yet, but according to me and King Emin, children are one of God's provisions and we cannot force them to be short."

"That's what makes me and king Emin feel your father's words are a very strong slap, but I also don't blame your father. Because indeed your father has the right to say that because there are things he expects from us, "said Queen Maia to Ella.

Ella then understood what queen Maia meant. Ella then immediately hugged Maia and Ella apologized to Maia for what her father said.

“Queen… pardon my father's words just now, I know that what you are currently facing is not easy. After your marriage is over, King Emin has a lot to do with his people who always complain about their current economic situation.”

“So maybe King Emin is also having a headache which causes him to have to think a lot about everything. A patient queen...make sure King Emin can also calm down, so you can run your program very well," said Ella trying to encourage Maia.

Maia then stated to Ella that she was very grateful for her understanding. Because according to Maia, Ella is the nephew of King Emin who is very understanding and mature in dealing with many problems.

"Then what was your purpose in coming looking for me here?" Maia asked, reminding Ella of her goal at the beginning.

Ella then immediately remembered what her original purpose was to come to meet her queen. “Oh yes queen, forgive me. I wanted to meet the queen just because I missed you, and I wanted to be with you only.”

“And it turns out that the queen is having problems like this because of my father. I feel bad, actually I also never thought that my father could say such things to you two”.

"But indeed I beg to forgive my father, queen", Ella begged again to Maia.

Maia then just smiled and stated that what her father said was not too hurtful to her heart and feelings. What Maia is most worried about is King Emin who can't accept what his uncle has said.

"But don't worry Ella, I will tell and explain to the king Emin so he doesn't take it too deep into his heart about his uncle's statement earlier. I also don't want to think too much about things that stress me out," Queen Maia explained to Ella.

Ella then smiled and Ella was very happy to share stories with her queen who was known to be very friendly to everyone and also very mature in thought, very suitable for king Emin who was very wise and also authoritative.

Soon, the king Emin returned to his room and found that Ella was sleeping in Maia's arms. At that time Maia was very surprised when she found out that King Emin was entering her room.
