...THE HEAVEN KINGDOM'S...
This afternoon the weather was quite cool with a breeze blowing on my face, I was still sitting on the edge of the blue lake alone waiting for Lela to pick me up.
I sat leaning down while looking down deeply, my stomach pain did not decrease even though I stroked and pressed slowly several times. I guess, Emmett's kick left a blue mark.
Is there no women empowerment service here? I want to report Emmett's treatment. Aiihh.
Hufftts
"Why do you keep breathing, like an old man" The familiar rebuke made me sit up straight and look at the source of the voice.
"LEON!!" I exclaimed, seeing Leon's existence made me forget myself and move quickly to stand up.
"Sshh" Shit, I forgot my stomach.
"Eh! why, is someone sick?" In a panic Leon approached me.
"Ah it's okay I'm just a pleasure to see you until you forget yourself.hehe" I grinned stupidly made Leon squeak.
"Is there a wound on your stomach?" Leon asked while watching my loyal hand hold the stomach.
"Hem..just a small wound" I smiled to cover up my lie, what a small wound!
Leon sighed "Sit down" Leon helped sit quietly, after which he also sat down beside me.
"Say what's up? why does your stomach hurt, you fall?" Leon poked me with a question and I could see he was staring at me worriedly.
Even Leon who was someone else could worry about me whereas my own father and brother, did not care at all. A cruel world.
"You're back from duty?" I diverted the conversation.
Again Leon just grunted to see me divert the conversation.
"Hemm.Just two days ago I was going again"
"What is a Duke as busy as that?" I do not know the duties of a Duke in detail, which I know a Duke is a person who leads a territory that is in the dominion of that kingdom.
"That's it, I'm not like you" Leon said after quipping me.
"I'm so arrogant, I'm also bored if there's no work like this. How can I be as busy as you?" I asked enthusiastically.
Leon took a quick glance at me and threw away the blue collar "You should be a Duchess" she replied later.
"really? Then how do I get that Duchess title?" I am interested, at least if I have a position or title in this kingdom I. My life is a little assured and I can definitely argue with old Emmett.
"Married to me" Leon's short answer made me gawk.
"You're kidding me, hahaha" I laughed foolishly in order to reduce this suddenly awkward atmosphere
"I'm not kidding, to be a Duchess you have to marry a Duke. And I'm the Duke means in other words you have to marry me and get the Duchess title" Leon explained at length
I nodded in understanding "But I don't want to marry you" I replied honestly.
"ukkhmm....I'm not proposing to you, it's just a parable" Leon thumped his raucous moves also look a little misbehaved.
"I understand.but..." My words were hanging because suddenly a question popped into my head.
"Oh yes, Leon! You know about the future leader's prophecy?" There's no way Leon doesn't know, he's a native here.
"I know, why?"
Earlier, Emmett and Ragnar discussed the issue of future leaders' predictions that intrigued me.
"Should you know, because your brother and father are officials in the palace-" Leon's words stopped and I didn't have time to answer that he had already continued "God! I forgot you weren't the real Roseanne"
"Thank God you remember, I'm not a native in this country I don't know about the prophecy of future leader Leon. So can you tell me" I pleaded.
"Alright, so the prophecy of the future leader is a hereditary tradition that the royal family carries out to determine the future leader. His current example of His Majesty the King is the result of the prophecy of the future leader" Leon explained.
"Who did the prophecy?" I cringed confused.
"The royal trustee" replied Leon.
"Emm.Why do people here still believe in divination?" I know, the novel The Heaven Kingdom imi is set in the era of the kingdom. But I just don't believe that his characters trust divination so much.
"Why in your world do people not believe in prophecy?" Leon looked at me.
"Yes like that, the name is also a prophecy that has no guarantee of truth about a prophecy. The weather forecast on my phone is often wrong. Which said bright ehh. instead of heavy rain. It also feels a little funny, when leaders are determined and chosen through a tradition of divination. Very different from in my world" Hearing my words Leon immediately looked up.
"Ah sorry, I don't mean to compare which is better and which is worse. No offense" I hurriedly apologized before Leon misunderstood.
"No offense, what's in your world?"
"In my world, leaders and officials will be elected through a stage called elections, collect all the votes of the people and then with the most votes, he wins and becomes the leader" I just want to explain in simple terms, because if explained in detail Leon will be stressed especially when it comes to cheating irresponsible individuals in election activities.
Uhhhmm! back to topic.
Leon just nodded, I don't understand whether he understood it or not.
"Is it only the King who is chosen through the prophecy of the future leader or all the royal officials as well?" Ask me.
"Not only the King but the King's companion is also chosen through the prophecy of the future leader"
My brain can't process the information Leon gave me.
"What do you mean?" My great-grandson is slow.
"Yeah...The king's companion or the so-called Queen"
"So he meant, the King could not choose a life companion of his own choice? everything is determined according to that prophecy?" Leon nodded in response to my question.
If that's true, then Alexander and Aurelia Ruby aren't real lovers, I mean. The two of them became a pair of future leaders who had been predicted.
Holy hooch! This fact is all.
"means....Miss Ruby-"
"Yes, Miss Ruby was chosen when the King's companion prophecy was held" Leon said, cutting my sentence.
I was surprised, I thought a King was the only one who was free to do whatever he wanted. But knowing this fact made me rethink, even Alexander could not choose a companion to his liking.
Nah! it's good that if Alexander really wanted Miss Ruby to be his companion, he wouldn't have any trouble.
But what if Alexander had to? And somehow my brain suddenly replayed all of Alexander's perverted behavior towards me.
She kissed, hugged and even brought me her basket when she already had a would-be companion. Would I be too confident if I thought the real Alexander liked Roseanne but couldn't have her because of the prophecy that had chosen Miss Ruby?
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
What a pity to be a raaja yak!
