2023-02-23 12:36:08“The Crown Prince's divorce from his wife, Agatha, brought bad news. Allegedly, the crown prince deliberately divorced his wife after returning to the palace. Prince Luke is rumored to be an irresponsible husband. He deliberately did not provide a living for his wife during their marriage choosing to be a useless man. Even after returning to the palace, Prince Luke did not give his wife anything as compensation for their divorce. Prince Luke's sudden appearance when he had been in the Puissance area was doubted by the people. They think Prince Luke is a fake crown prince who deceives the kingdom. Other rumors said Prince Luke was having an affair which made his divorce from his wife a major factor. The various bad rumors that hit the crown prince generated negative sentiment by the people. The kingdom's social media is filled with many blasphemous comments towards prince Luke."
“What nonsense is going on? Quickly confirm and delete the circulating news immediately.” John was furious watching the news he saw on television. John then approached Luke who was riding as fast as he could to spread the rumors going on.
“Your Highness.” John bent down to say something. Luke who saw John's expression stopped his horse. Afterwards he rebinds Slayer. John approached the Crown Prince and spread the rumors. Not just one but three.
Firstly, Luke was reported as a useless man who was purposely irresponsible to his ex-wife either during their marriage or after their divorce. Second, Luke was rumored to be the crown prince who dared to deceive everyone, including the palace. Third, Luke is reportedly having an affair.
"What?" Luke glared in utter shock.
"I have ordered to delete the news as soon as possible."
Luke was still dissatisfied with John's words. “Find out who first spread the rumors, John! I want to know who the mastermind wants to go to war with me.”
Luke meets the Queen. The woman looked at her son with concern. “I have prepared a press conference for you, your highness. An official statement from you is what is most needed at this time.”
“Thank you, your majesty. You don't need to worry about it. I will solve my problem as soon as possible.” Prince Luke reassured his mother. Queen nodded her head.
after that Luke changed his clothes then headed to a room that already had a lot of journalists. Luke confirmed all the accusations, exposed the real facts and assured everyone that he was not having an affair. Regarding the rumor about him being the fake crown prince Luke showed his upper arms which had moon marks on them. Every descendant of the king was given such a mark since childhood made with a very secret special potion from the palace. No one can imitate it.
Even so, the rumors that were already circulating were more trusted by the public than the statements from the Crown Prince. Some people even dared to demonstrate in front of the palace, while others are still active on social media. This made public trust in the kingdom greatly reduced. They even began to doubt the taxes they paid and several other policies that were only considered to benefit the kingdom. This problem is getting bigger every day.
“Huft!” Luke exhaled. He barely sleeps reading all the petitions against him. The palace's efforts to quell rumors are increasingly being misinterpreted by the public. They accuse the Palace of deliberately taking away freedom of speech.
“How can such a small rumor they believe become so big. What's more, they started slandering things that didn't make sense. Doubt about taxes and other things, damn it! In fact there is very little hunger in Puissance.” John uttered all his curses. The man had been swearing a lot since the past few days. He was angrier than Luke. Can't believe something ridiculous like this happened to the palace.
"It must also be admitted that the social gap is still very large in Puissance, John." Luke answered calmly even though he was getting desperate to find a way out of the problem. even his position as crown prince was in danger of being demoted. This is the umpteenth demand after many demands on him. Luke tried to face it with a cool head. His four years of experience outside the palace made him understand what his people were thinking. “Puissance is ruled by aristocrats and conglomerates. Those who are rich are very powerful. Of course this kind of condition causes dissatisfaction.” Even so, Luke still couldn't find a solution to the problem at hand.
“Of course there is a social gap. How can the world run with equality?”
Luke chuckled lightly. “Not everyone has the same thoughts as you, John. Some people think equality is able to reconcile. Enough! You better find the mastermind for this matter soon.”
"I have found the mastermind of your problem, your highness." John shows Luke some evidence. “Your ex-wife and someone named Victor. You may know him."
Luke nodded his head. “Victor Zionathan, he is the CEO of the company Pouvwa Tech. I did have a conflict with him.” Luke clenched his fists. He should have guessed. Only those two people had the most trouble with him. Luke swore, Victor and Agatha had clever tactics. Luke was forced to admit this. they deliberately played with people's opinion to attack Luke.
"Your majesty, because of the rumored affair, we need to postpone my meeting with Olivia. I don't want the problem to get worse." Luke said to his mother. Queen nodded her head reluctantly. Luke didn't know whether he should be grateful for the current situation or not. Circulating rumors managed to save him from his mother's arranged marriage.
***
“Cheers!” Victor and Agatha stirred their glasses as a sign of enjoying the party they were both having. Victor and Agatha were very satisfied. They only lead three opinions but the public gives additional rumors that are getting bigger as they are now.
“Sir, I am very grateful you have helped me. Without you, I definitely can't do anything about the kingdom.”
Victor shook his head. “Just Victor, Agatha. We have become allies now.”
Agatha frowned. "Can I?"
Victor knelt on one knee before Agatha. The man took out a ring he had kept from his jacket. “Agatha Philip, since I know you I have always liked your eyes. I'm not a romantic guy. I can only ask you directly, are you willing to be my girlfriend?”
Agatha covered her lips with a hand. "Sir, I mean Victor, are you serious?"
“Does it look like I'm joking right now? Quickly give your answer, Agatha! I don't want to feel embarrassed any longer. If you reject me, that's fine. we will remain as allies as always.”
Agatha nodded her head. "I agree."
“Do you agree to only be allies with me?” Victor asked for an explanation with Agatha's ambiguous answer.
Agatha chuckled lightly with a wide smile that left her lips. “I am willing to be your girlfriend. To be honest, I love you too."
Victor smiled happily. The two couples then embraced. “Right now is the happiest time for me. I feel perfect working with my girlfriend.”
"Me too," answered Agatha barely able to speak.

"I'm glad you're still thinking about sharing it with me."Agatha nodded her head. “Of course I have to share everything with you. You've helped me enormously. You even gave a big project to my father's company. I'm sure we'll pay off the debt soon.”Victor rubbed Agatha's lips. “Darling, I will give your father a great project as long as he can be counted on. He could even become the main distributor of my company.”"Is it true?" Agatha's face looks even happier."Of course honey. But today let's forget about business.

She grunts raised the call to her ear.“Hello, mom! Can't you let me sleep another two hours? Why do you always bother me." Agatha grumbled.“Now is not the time for you to fall asleep, Agatha! You better turn on the television so you can see what's going on out there!”Agatha groaned lazily. A grunt still lingered on her lips but he still did what her mother told her to do. Half hearted of course. Agatha looked for the remote and immediately turned on the television. Victor, who felt movement next to her, also woke up.“Prince Luke or the crown prince just had their second press conference.

Eloise was lucky Luke granted her request."Mom, I'm sorry that I came late. I work in the palace. I'm very happy. You must feel at ease because I work in a comfortable place, right?" Eloise tried hard to wipe away her tears. While Luke turned his head not wanting to see Eloise's face. Besides respecting her privacy, Luke knew that Eloise was lying at her mother's grave. Maybe Eloise was trying to calm her down.Eloise was the illegitimate daughter of Samuel Philip. Her biological mother had died giving birth to her.

"Have you chosen the menu, Olivia?"Olivia shook her head. “Shall we choose the menu first.”Luke nodded his head. "Yes, so that the waitress immediately left and left us both."Olivia laughed graciously. The woman chose a menu book then chose food carefully. Luke also did the same. He didn't need to choose her for Olivia because she understood better what she was supposed to do. after the waitress left the two of them, Luke looked at Olivia more seriously.“Olivia, I was going to hide it from you. But since you welcomed me as a friend, I wish to speak truthfully to you.”Olivia nodded her head. “You have every right to do so, Luke. I will also tell you honestly. Speak!”“We are grown ups and we know what this dinner is made for. I can't decide since I'm under the queen's orders. If you refuse, I'm not offended at all.

"Luke, did you turn it down?""Your Highness, I said that she left me. Doesn't that mean she dumped me?" Luke played a pretend sad face.Queen shook her head. "Shut up Prince! I know you did something to make Olivia dump you. You must have told her something."Luke exhaled. He couldn't trick the queen just like that. "I did say something to him."Queen was dumbfounded. "Luke, didn't you promise me that you would grant my wish?""I kept my promise, mom." Luke continues to reassure the queen. "I'm just trying to be honest with her about how I feel. She does the same.

As promised, Eloise visited Hayden in the hospital. Luckily John allowed it before Eloise had a practice schedule. Luke had left his room without Eloise knowing. The king definitely didn't want to exacerbate the rumors in the palace that were bothering him.Eloise opened the door of the hospital where Hayden was being treated. Hayden's face immediately lit up when she saw the woman coming. "I thought you'd forget your promise, ma'am.""I'm not that bad." Eloise approached Hayden and gave a slight nod to the man, which of course made Hayden hiss.“Eloise, you…” Hayden growled.Eloise chuckled happily at the reaction she was expecting. "I thought you were a man of steel who couldn't feel pain."Hayden rolled his eyes as a reaction which was enough to represent all the sentences he wanted to say in his head. "Are you starting to imitate Mr. John?" Hayden snorted lightly at the end of his sentence."Who knows!" Eloise shrugged. “Turns out being a bit of a prankster is quite fun.”"It suck

“You can't believe rumours. Otherwise you will be in trouble for daring to spread fake news.” Olivia cleared her throat with pride. "I mean, the King cares about me, it's just that I want to give him a little explanation that I'm not an easy woman.""I'm glad to hear your explanation." Agatha nodded her head several times. "I hope nothing will happen between you two." Agatha gave a sneer in her heart understanding that Olivia lied to maintain her pride. Agatha and Olivia talked for a few minutes until Agatha had had enough. Agatha then left the palace. The woman bumps into Luke in the hallway.“Your Grace!” Agatha greeted Luke as a formality."I see you are visiting the palace more and more often, Agatha." Luke snorted sarcastically. “I hope you're not up to anything because I would never let you behave badly. Especially in my palace.”“I went to visit the queen. Maybe your queen is lonely, your highness. Are you so busy that you neglect your wife?” Agatha asked boldly."That's none o

Eloise was sneaking into a building. Her eyes are very alert and a hand holding a G-lock 17 type pistol with a nine millimeter caliber has a maximum range of 50 meters. There was still a grenade knife in her trouser pocket, but she felt that sanctions would be able to keep the person alive. Considering the guards with bodies that are large enough and armed no less completely.Secretly, quickly but not in a hurry, she was able to paralyze one by one the members who were on guard and then hide them in a certain place so as not to quickly raise suspicions for the others. The purpose is to rescue a hostage who is located quite far inside the building. She has to be smart not to be too flashy. Not forgetting to steal weapons from some of the opponents he had conquered after keeping the gun that was in her hand.

“Hi! I didn't expect to find you here." Someone tapped Eloise on the shoulder making Eloise turn her head. The woman then frowned at the strange man.“Pardons?” Eloise asked politely."Oh sorry! I seem to have recognized you wrong. I thought you were someone I knew. You look similar to her."Eloise smiled awkwardly without panicking. "It's okay.""My name is Victor." The man held out his hand inviting Eloise to get acquainted. "Maybe you don't know me. I am the CEO of Pouvwa Tech.”Eloise widened her eyes. "I'm Eloise." Eloise immediately returned the helping hand. The woman hoped that the man in front of her couldn't feel his sweaty hands from nervousness. Eloise's other hand went into her pocket ready to grab a taser gun if her disguise was recognized."Eloise? So beautiful." Victor praised with a smile. Victor notices Eloise's appearance.

King entered the room after working all day. He turned to Olivia, his wife. “Why is your face so gloomy? What do you think? Do you want me out of your room?”"No!" Olivia shook her head. "It's just that the queen mother asked me about the future heir to the throne."Luke raised his eyebrows. "Then what's your answer?"Olivia shrugged. "I don't know. You know I never wanted to have a baby with a man who didn't love me. Moreover, that man has another woman in his heart.”Luke nodded his head. “We can postpone it a year or two. it is not a complicated matter. "Are you sure that won't bother me?"Luke chuckled lightly. "It's a bit annoying, but I'll try to help you. We'll get through the gossip together. If you are not satisfied enough, I can have the palace issue a fake report about my stamina not being as healthy as most.

Olivia forced her smile on the former queen. "Mom, I will listen to your advice."The queen mother smiled again. “Olivia, I hope you are comfortable living together. I really hope that you don't feel too much pressure for your responsibility as queen." The queen mother tried to provide more comfort to Olivia with comforting words but Olivia felt the opposite feeling from the sentence put forward by the queen mother. Olivia didn't understand as she felt quite a bit of pressure.***The king stared angrily at the bridge construction site. "What happened in this place, John?" Luke's jaw clenched as a sign that the man was overcome by anger. The construction of the bridge, which is often reported by the person in charge to the Palace is far from what Luke had imagined. Even the development looks still chaotic with several projects that are not running."I will immediately investigate, your highness."Luke clenched his fists tightly. “I now understand why the people of the suburbs are agai

A little lie for mother-in-law
The queen dowager stared at Olivia for a few seconds. There was nothing Olivia could respond to from the queen mother's comments other than replying with grace. What more could he do when the Queen Mother didn't want to expect anything from him."I was so pleased to see you guys having a late breakfast this morning." The queen mother smiled warmly at her. The queen mother then held Olivia's hand. “But I heard a bit of bad rumors from the maids. Queen, may I speak to you as Luke's mother?""Of course, Your Highness." Olivia nodded her head.The queen mother exhaled. "Olivia, without compromising my polite and ethical feelings for you as the current queen who presides over Puissance, I just want, just a few things to say to you."Olivia was a little flustered. Luke had warned him that the Queen Mother could be a little fussy, sometimes - and more often - overly meddling. Olivia had already prepared herself. The woman tried to smile gracefully listening to the previous queen's words.“Ol

pleasant morning tension
Luke stared at Eloise for a few moments as if he wanted to explain to her to trust him. Even if he was forced to 'sleep' with Olivia, it was only because of his duties and obligations as a husband and a king who had to give offspring. There is no love there. in fact, if Luke were to be honest with what he thought, the woman had never even imagined Olivia giving birth to her child. Luke even imagined Eloise did it even though it was very difficult to accept later if you weren't born in a legal marriage."Read me all my schedule for today, John!" Luke orders John to ignore Eloise for a moment so Olivia can't see his relationship with Eloise. Because if Olivia is observant, Luke will clearly give her a different look. Luke would have been found out in an instant. Luke realized his wife was very smart. He didn't want to harm Eloise after all his selfishness. Luke decides to play it safe.John nodded hesitantly. Only John felt the awkwardness in the room seeing his king's behavior. His che

"I want to sleep. Don't you protest that I don't appreciate you? I'm doing what you want." Luke calmly lay in bed without the slightest burden.Olivia raised her eyebrows looking at her husband who often acted annoying in her eyes. “You sleep? Without doing anything?" Olivia was stunned by Luke's behavior, which seemed very ignorant."Do you want to make love to me?" Luke sat staring at Olivia.Olivia cleared her throat. "I don't like to give up on someone who clearly says they don't love me."Luke stared at Olivia for a few moments. "Olivia, I'm sorry. I didn't hurt you like that. that's not the reason I express my feelings honestly to you. Really! I didn't mean to offend you then, now or even later."Olivia raised her hand to make a gesture for Luke to stop talking. “When you tell me, I admit I have praised your honesty. Although I'm not too sure when my feelings with you. But, since you've been mean to me, I can't accept it.” Olivia shook her head firmly. "I'm sorry Luke but I'm no
