Chương 20: Whip Punishment For Helena From King Aarez

All eyes turned to Helena.

Louis, Andrian look confused, and also Rima, who was still sitting cross-legged. They thought ... What was Helena thinking?

Louis approached Helena with a scornful look and a slight smirk.

"How dare you raise your voice. Do you think it's great, Helena?" asked Louis sneeringly.

"Your Highness. I don't mean to be rude to you. I beg your pardon, Rima. What she did was not to harm you, Your Highness." Helena is trying to find the right words so Louis wouldn't explode with all his anger.

"Empress Helena, enough!" Rima said. She didn't want to be defended and looked at Helena nervously.

"I do not need to be defended, Empress Helena," she continued.

"No, Rima! Let me explain it to Your Highness," Helena said.

"She only wants the best for you, Your Highness. So I beg you, please forgive Rima." Suddenly Helena sat on her knees beside Rima, making Andrian even startled in disbelief. While the king just stared cruelly at the two women in front of him.

"I beg to you, Your Highness. Please, don't punish Rima. It's not a big mistake. She just wants to do what's best for you and the country. I know this isn't completely right, but… I have no intention of harming, Your Highness. I beg to you, King Louis." Said Helena and bowed her face more to get the king's sympathy.

"How dare you tell me, what should I do? Your mouth is so presumptuous, Empress Helena. Have you forgotten that last night I saved you," said Louis as he held the tip of Helena's chin.

The gleam of the eyes that the king gave him. Instantly made Helena feel an uncomfortable feeling. It was as if a villain was watching her and ready to draw his sword at Helena.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." That voice came out of Helena's mouth. Came out stuttering. Suddenly, she felt her throat dry, and Louis' eyes were still on her.

"I just want this matter to be resolved properly," Helena continued as she swallowed her own saliva.

"What? Solving this matter properly? Heh... Do you think it will be that easy, Empress Helena?" Louis slammed Helena's chin, and he straightened up quickly.

"I know what punishment you both deserve." Louis' sly grin appeared.

Andrian was quite close to him. He seemed to want to talk, trying to find the right solution so Louis wouldn't feel offended.

"King Louis, sorry to interrupt your conversation," said Andrian with a careful tone of voice.

"I don't think this matter needs to be brought up. We are still in a period of mourning, and it would not be good to make any more noise in the Palace. Your two previous consorts have been the subject of enough gossip and talk in the Palace." Andrian reminded, whispering softly to Louis, who reacted with his sharp gaze.

"Come on, great King Louis, you have other plans besides taking care of this matter," Adrian said.

"Don't you dare teach me, Andrian? After all, these two women are not in a position to be justified." Louis turned his body. He looked at Andrian's face from a fairly close distance.

"So what are you going to do, King Louis? There's no way you can send them to a holding cell, can you? Just your two queen consorts, you just kick them out of your room. That's so unfair if you treat with different." Andrian is getting annoyed with the attitude of the king. He tries his best to keep a smile on his face.

"Let's use the old way. I prefer it that way. It's should be a lesson for anyone. So ... they can maintain their attitude to King Aarez," answered Louis, and he didn't hesitate with what he said.

"Rima, are you all right? That's enough, don't prostrate like this. Look, King Louis isn't angry anymore." Helena, who held Rima's shoulders, helped her move slowly.

"Empress Helena, this isn't over yet." Rima shook her head slowly. She showed a more restless look on her face than before.

"What do you mean, Rima?"

"RIMA!" Louis's voice boomed again and stared intently at the middle-aged woman who was starting to burst into tears.

"As the butler of the Kingdom of Aarez, you are not setting a good example at all. Hereby, I will punish you! You will undergo exile in the northern Aarez region. war." Louis said firmly.

"King Louis, but Rima is old. And the north is a dangerous place. You should be able to give punishment..." Andrian looked pity and tried to make a deal with the King.

"No one can go against my orders if anyone dares to do that. Then I will give the punishment of the whip." Louis said firmly and given a warning to Andrian.

"Northern region? Isn't it still in a state of alert and ready for war? But… Rima can't be there." Helena did not agree with the king's decision.

Helena was just about to let out a voice, but Rima had pulled the hem of Helena's shirt.

"Empress Helena, I beg you… don't defend me anymore. This is my fault, and I deserve this punishment," said Rima with a sad face.

"No, Rima! This time I will not obey you." Helena let go of Rima's hand, and she was ready to speak her mind.

"King Louis Aarez!" called Helena, and sure enough her voice was very loud.

Until it, managed to attract the attention of Louis, who looked at her with a more cynical look than before.

"What the hell, have you lost your mind, Empress Helena? Why do you dare to shout as if you are challenging me?" Louis was angry again, he walked quickly to Helena.

"King Louis, you can punish Rima. No! Just give it to me!" point Helena to herself.

"Rima is too old to be on the battlefield. Sending her out is the same as killing her slowly. Don't you see the merit and kindness of Rima, as long as she takes care of Queen Revania's health? You shouldn't have to be that cruel." Said Helena, who still dared to look directly at Louis's pair of eyes.

"How dare you relate this matter to Queen Revania! Don't you think, because you are the Queen's choice, then you can talk as you wish?" Louis spoke closely to Helena. Even his gaze didn't blink at all.

"Looks like I have to punish you first, so you know how to talk to a king Aarez," Louis said, and he had already clapped his hands with two loud claps.

"King Louis, what are you going to do?" asked Andrian, who was getting worried. He knew very well the character of his friend.

Not long after the palace guard entered the king's room,

"You guys take Rima and Andrian out of this place. And prepare a whip to punish someone who dares to oppose my words." Louis ordered earnestly.

"What?" Rima looked surprised. She was trying to protect Helena. But her efforts were in vain because the other guards were already holding Rima's hands and forcibly dragging her footsteps.

"Andrian, wait for me in the meeting room." Louis orders.

"But..." Andrian seemed reluctant to obey.

"No buts! You know it's not that I'm not playing around at the moment." Louis interrupted Adrian's words immediately.
