“Don't talk nonsense, Lion! Wilo and I are legally husband and wife.”
"Yes, I understand. It's just that you also have to remember that you became Wilo's husband because of a stupid contest. You are only Wilo's husband on documents and in front of Wilo's late father. But, look at you! You can't give her the physical and spiritual support she needs as a wife. How can you call yourself husband?” Lion spoke with his arms folded in front of his chest.
“It is precisely because I am fully aware of my position here that I defend Wilona as my legal wife. What husband would let his wife sleep with another man within eye reach?” Hosh was so pissed off.
"Come on, Hosh. Do not exaggerate. You know we've been married two years and I've been so kind to let you sleep next to my room. Like Lion said, you can't give me anything except that one title of 'husband' that you've always been proud of. I'm also an ordinary woman who needs affection and love. You know from the beginning Lion and I really loved each other. You came and destroyed everything. At least for now, let me have a relationship with Lion like this.” Wilo sounded so begging this time.
“Is that what you want? Do you think you will be happy when you are with that man?” Hosh asked then.
"Yes. I will be happy with him,” answered Wilo firmly.
Unable to speak anymore, Hosh chose to return to his room. Powerless, he came back out to the balcony which was in every room. Feel the night breeze with views of the moon and stars and the fountain that adorns the back garden. He was still so angry and disappointed.
The thought of Wilo and Lion making love and how the sound of pleasure sounded so melodious disturbed him. Hosh became even more determined. He wants to change. He wanted to recover from his illness and have a better life. Not for Wilo or his grandparents, not for the queen or Shenna or even anyone, but for himself.
To be honest, he loves his wife, Wilona. Who would not fall in love with a beautiful women like her. Her face was so pretty with a warm smile. Her long, wavy brown hair matched her eyes. It was a completely different scene when she started to speak.
Wilona was also quite nice person before she married Hosh. Her prestige spread throughout the clan as a beautiful and kind princess. She is the princess with the highest throne because her mother was the first concubine of the king. The king did not have a legal wife, but three concubines who each had their own children. Now he is officially the leader's daughter because his mother has risen to the rank of queen of the Zenith clan.
"I think returning to my grandparents' house is the most appropriate decision now."
Not spending much time, that same night he asked Shenna to prepare his clothes. He also asked the servant to prepare a car to take him. Hosh didn't even need permission from his wife as she would have given him a chance easily. In fact the longer Hosh was gone the better it would be for her.
Shenna realized that her master was still more pensive in his wheelchair. She realized that there must have been such a big fight between him and Princess Wilo. All of this was reinforced by Shenna who overheard two maids discussing how Shenna and Lion kissed in front of the princess's room which then both entered the room.
"Are you all right, Sir?" asked Shenna carefully.
"I'm fine. I just need a little time to rest.”
"Sir, pardon my impudence, but you are not good at lying," Shenna said, still focused on the clothes in front of her.
“Ah, you must mean what we heard earlier huh? Yes, I forgot that you heard that too. That's not a good thing. That is why I will be leaving the palace tonight.”
"Do I need to accompany, Sir?" asked Shenna politely.
"No need. You just need to be here and tell Wilo I'm going to go to my grandparents' house for a few days."
Shenna just nodded and escorted her mistress to the front yard of the palace. Where is Hosh's car parked there. A special car was given to him just because everyone didn't want to be infected by his disease. Even the driver always uses the same person. A man named Harry who is around 40 years old.
“Take me to my grandparents' house. Pick me up exactly seven days after today,” said Hosh.
"Yes, Sir."
Along the way, Hosh recalled how he could marry Wilo. It all started when Hosh was in the Crosby clan. He saw the group of warriors of the Zenith clan who so rarely came to their clan carrying an official announcement from the king. Hosh, who was always set aside, actually only accompanied his grandmother shopping for necessities at the market. Where the soldier started reading the contents of the roll of paper he was carrying.
“By order of King Alaric, we bring a message to all the people of Clan Crosby. Our beloved daughter, Princess Wilona Eve Zeline, has disappeared around the Gray Forest. This happened yesterday when Princess Wilona was supposed to go to the Lazarus clan but was stopped on her way by a group of robbers who forced her to flee into the middle of the forest. At this time, King Alaric would find out who the culprit of the robbery was. Right now, King Alaric is requesting everyone's help to find Princess Wilona.”
The man stopped and glanced briefly at the group of people in front of him.
“King Alaric has prepared an extraordinary gift for anyone who can find Princess Wilona. If he is a man and is still not married, then he will marry Princess Wilona and automatically become a candidate for king in the next government period. Meanwhile, if the man is married, then he can get gold and also an important position in the Zenith clan. If she is a woman, then she can become the adopted daughter of King Alaric and will have a comfortable life in the palace.”
Everyone stared and whispered in surprise at the king's bold decision. Some of the men who looked so fit even looked so excited as if they were sure they would be able to find the princess. Including one of them, Hosh's grandmother, who without hesitation continued to hold her grandson's arm.
“Hosh, isn't that a good opportunity for you? Who knows your fate will change if you can find Princess Wilona. They might be able to find someone who can heal you,” she said with twinkling eyes.
"Hahaha. Don't joke, Grandma. It's not going to happen."
Hosh had just arrived at his family's house. The distance covered in the five hour journey made the man fall asleep so comfortably. Harry helped the man with his wheelchair and even pushed him towards the front door of the house which was tightly closed. It was already three o'clock in the morning. His grandparents must be fast asleep.Hosh stared briefly at the condition of the house which had indeed changed. His grandparents were just farmers. Where they both sell their rice and garden product to continue to survive. After marrying Wilo, the king gave them money which was eventually used to buy some agricultural equipment and land.Grandfather and grandmother never thought that their grandson would finally be able to marry a princess. Absolutely never expect to get rewarded in any form. Of course they couldn't refuse the king's gift, so they just cultivated it because in the end, it was Hosh who would inherit everything.Jenaya, Hosh's grandmother opened the door with a clearly visi
"Wait, Grandpa. I still really don't understand. What can Nilas do to help those in need? What kind of difference can they bring to the world?” Hosh asked still not understanding.“The Nilas are smart and wise. They are also intelligent and master all kinds of knowledge. Most importantly, they are given such a great conscience. If these four clans unite and are only led by one Nilas, then a balance will occur. Not only for the rich, but also the poor. They will definitely work on it.”“Why is Grandpa so sure? Could Nilas have his own obsession to rule the world in his hands? I mean anyone can change after seeing money and power.” Hosh seemed so skeptical."They are indeed different. That's why Nilas has another name, the son of God. Because they are almost perfect as a human being.""But how come I never saw them?""The Nilas continue to be hunted by the Earl clan and handed over to the Lazarus clan on the orders of the Zenith clan. They were constantly being used as experimental mate
For more than 6 years, Hosh has used a cane to help him walk. He was also still able to ride a horse until he arrived at the Gray Forest. For him there are absolutely no obstacles on his way. Until he had to tie his horse and enter the forest alone. With minimal supplies, Hosh took the time to stare into the deep Gray Forest.Gray Forest has distinctive trees. The trunk of the tree is jet black while the leaves are silver. Besides that, there are also lots of colorful plants like a rainbow. That said, every plant has its own effect if we treat it wrong. It is also the cause of many humans who end up strange and even crazy.Slowly, Hosh began to walk into the forest. Occasionally glanced at the map and compass to make sure the direction he was heading was correct. The point he was aiming for was a large tree deep in the forest and right by the river. The location was easy, but Hosh wasn't even sure if he could make it there.Hosh started to walk in confidently and he just ignored every
Hosh and Wilona walked carefully through the Gray Forest. The man had previously given a sign with a blue rope so he could easily find his way back. Sure enough, even if it only took an hour, they could already see a bright light that was the Crosby clan.Wilona looked even more excited and started to jog out of the forest. Wilo stopped when she saw that there were several tents in a clearing which judging by the flags were clearly from the Zenith clan. Some of the soldiers started to see her and even some people were seen running into the biggest tent in the middle.Wilona was so happy to see her father, King Alaric who came out of the tent and welcomed the princess with joy. King Alaric expressed his relief after five days in total they had been waiting there and trying to find Wilona. The king said that many soldiers had entered, but not many had returned.“My daughter, I almost gave up. Father had prepared to enter the forest alone, but father couldn't just do it because there wer
Jenaya gave Hosh a wooden box which was still neatly tucked away in Hosh's wardrobe. Since marrying Wilona, this man has not discussed Nilas and his true identity for a long time. This time, he wanted to get hold of whatever was actually stored within the Gray Forest.“This time I was determined. I have to find whatever my parents left me. I have to know, can I really be better after becoming Nilas completely. I have to show everyone who I really am and what I can do."The next day, Hosh told his grandparents to go into the Gray Forest. They are happy, but more worried. The condition of the man's body has changed a lot. His bodily functions also continued to decline. That was why Hosh's grandparents could only stare at each other.“Hosh, you know your current condition is very unlikely. You can't go in there alone."“Grandpa, I know you will be worried. That's why I prepared a walking aid. I've had it from the start. I just need you guys to support and give me encouragement.""Walki
Hosh, who initially felt inferior, started to get up again. After getting the blessing of their grandparents, they all headed towards the Zenith clan. In two days the wedding will take place. The royal entourage, deliberately prepared to pick them all up. Using a car accompanied by horsemen, grandfather, grandmother and Hosh left their clan.The five hour journey was tensely traveled by Hosh. He couldn't even close his eyes let alone fall asleep. He was so worried how everyone would welcome him there. Hosh heard that important guests from the other two clans would also be leaving tonight. The king wanted to formally introduce himself as a future son-in-law before he actually married.No matter how hard Hosh tried, he still couldn't cover up the rashes on his body and face. He also couldn't hide the disfigurement on his hands and feet. He felt very insecure and wanted to just die. Especially after their entourage began to enter the palace area of the Zenith clan which was very, very
Hosh, who heard all these words from Wilona's lips, felt so sad and immediately his guts sank. Again, he couldn't blame the princess because he believed that even a ordinary woman would refuse to marry him. How is it possible that Wilona, a beautiful and honorable princess, will accept it gracefully.Hosh stared into the distance where the beautiful scenery of the night indeed conjured his eyes quickly. Zenith clan is the richest clan among others. The houses he could see were all luxurious and had bright lights. It consists of tall buildings where Hosh can see lots of vehicles passing by. Very different from the Crosby clan.Being away from home made Hosh miss his home a little. The house is simple but warm. Activities that are boring but also fun. In two days, he will be married and his life will probably be better. It's just that, he had to leave the two people he cared about the most at this time. Grandfather and grandmother.Hosh actually wanted to just go back inside, but was
The next day, Hosh was taking a walk to see the condition of the Zenith clan palace. He realized that the palace had a very large area and was closely adjoined by a river. At the front is the main building which consists of the king's throne as well as several large halls for important events. Behind it is a kitchen and several rooms for servants. Where the main building will be empty at night.The concubine's house was divided on the right side separated by a garden. Serially numbered according to the concubine that the king proposed to first. Likewise the children of each concubine also lived there. The king, of course, having a room in each concubine's house that is no less magnificent.The palace's backyard, right next to the river, was the practice area. A large field used for fighting, equestrian, and even sports training. Hosh was there where unluckily he saw Emilio who was having a duel with Lionel. Using a wooden stick they attack and beat each other.D
