Chương 28: Louis: Are You Having Fun?

The two women had decided to return to the Palace. They were already in Harika's old car. The engine often made strange noises, making Helena think that the car might break apart just by hitting a small rock on the road.

The car owner was mostly silent. Even Helena caught Harika kissing the back of his hand several times. Sniffing with a strange attitude, and don't know what she was thinking.

"Wow… today was amazing. Thank you, Harika. Next time we have to do something fun like this." Helena shouted. She opened the car window so that the outside wind could blowhard in the hot car.

"What, next time?" Harika turned around for a moment and gave an annoyed look. "There won't be another time, and this will be the last time, Empress Helena."

Harika said an annoying warning, but strangely she again sniffed at the back of her right hand. Making Helena who saw it, chuckled because she couldn't help but feel amused.

"Harika? Jack is that kind of man. So don't be easily persuaded by his seduction." Helena got straight to the point, and Harika shook his head quickly.

"Jack? I didn't think about him. Why do you think so, Empress Helena?" Harika tries to defend herself.

"I didn't say that you were thinking about him, well..."

Helena was no longer interested in the play of a hand that she reached out of the car window. She was more interested in Harika, who was driving her car with her eyes moving, which shows that she is lying.

"Harika… have you never met a man even once?" Helena asked curiously.

"Meet a man? What do you mean? What a ridiculous question? of course, I've met." Harika answered briefly and felt strange about Helena's question just now.

"Ck... I mean meeting a man as… lovers? Or have you ever…" Helena pursed her hands together, then brought them together. So she could demonstrate the parable of the kiss scene on Harika.

"Empress Helena, why is your mind so dirty today?" Harika's mouth was even full when she quipped Helena, who laughed a little.

"Dirty? Why must it be dirty? Even King Louis and I have kissed. Even you and Rima always ask me whether I have slept with the King or not." Helena didn't agree with Harika's statement just now. She gave a more reasonable reason.

"You're old enough. It looks like you and Jack aren't much different in age either. Jack is a man who has slept with many women, so... be careful with his flirting. You have to be wary of him, Harika. Because I know, you're more, mmm… let's say, you're not more experienced than me," said Helena who was proud of her own words.

"Hohoho… Empress Helena, if you're experienced… why you can't melt the King's heart? You just got a kiss from him, well… I have to admit that you got a bit of luck from Empress Dilara and Emira, who were expelled on the first night of mourning." Harika deliberately mentions the other two empresses, making Helena narrow her eyes in annoyance.

"A little lucky, you say? Wow? is that a compliment. Harika..! Do you know my head can explode every day, because it's too full of all the lessons, manners, not to mention King Louis' anger. Huh! You're saying I'm a bit lucky? Hey … it's not luck, it's all because I tried so hard to get the king's attention," Helena said.

"Then you have to prove that you can sleep with the King. You two must quickly make lots of kids." Harika easily said that, making Helena stare in disbelief.

"Huh… kid? Crazy! Is my function only as a kids printing machine?" asked an annoyed Helena.

"Come on, Empress Helena. You still have to be able to sleep with the King. If you can do that, I promise to take you out again. Like this, surely you want to, don't you?" Harika started making tempting offers.

Helena was an innocent young girl, with just such an offer, she nodded quickly. "You have to promise, Harika?" Helena gave her little finger.

"Why did you give your finger?" asked Harika.

"This is for our promise. So I can meet grandma again. And next visit, I want to visit my house. Can you promise me, Harika? A promise you can't break." Helena asked with a look full of hope.

Harika realizes that Helena is still a young girl, where her freedom has been taken away. There is a feeling of pity and sympathy, seeing Helena who struggles and agrees to be part of the palace because she wants to protect and protect her beloved grandmother.

"Of course, Empress Helena. I'm Harika, your servant… promise to take you out again if you can sleep together with King Louis," Harika replied with a reassuring smile.

Harika gave one ring finger, and she hooked it on Helena's ring finger. Her other hand was still driving, but at that moment, Harika realized that something was missing from Helena's wrist.

"Empress?" asked Harika frantically, and she had already removed her little finger.

"Yes, what is up?"

"Where's your watch?" asked Harika, made Helena's face change quickly.

"Looks like I've left it, Harika. Why are you so worried. It's just a watch. I don't think anyone was harmed at all. So, you take it easy." Helena spoke very casually.

"Empress Helena? That watch is so precious. Gosh! How come you can be so careless? You know, if the things you use, most of them belong to Queen Revania?" asked Harika, and Helena shook her head.

Harika's voice was too loud and mixed with the roar of the wind. Making Helena has to keep her ears away because she knows Harika will be ready by throwing all her advice, anger, and disappointment.

"Oh my… can't you cause more trouble, Empress Helena? If there was Rima. I will be severely punished now." Harika felt like screaming, but she preferred to take a deep breath.

"Now tell me, and remember. Where did you leave that precious watch?" asked Harika with a soft and forced intonation.

"Mmm… I gave it to Jack," Helena answered doubtfully with a grimace on her face. Because she was ready to receive an outburst of anger from Harika.

"What!!!" Harika even stepped on the car brake violently, making Helena pushed forward.

Fortunately, Helena's hands were fast and held the side of the car dashboard.

"Harika? What's wrong with you? Do you want us to hit something? Why are you so shocked like that?"

"Empress Helena, it's not just a watch. It's a watch that belongs only to royalty. None of the people of Aarez are allowed to own it. And I hope… your friend doesn't intend to sell it." Harika had imagined a scary thing.

"We… no… I mean… I have to look for it after dropping you off. Ask for it back, and make sure it's in your hands." Harika continued, who started making her plans.

"Mmm…. Harika?" dubiously called Helena.

"Yes, empress?"

"What if Jack is going to sell it since I suggested it?" Helena asked, and Harika widened her eyes more immediately.

***

Arriving at the Palace.

Harika showed her disappointment differently, namely by silencing Helena, who had made the biggest mistake.

They had managed to sneak into the palace. Helena had changed clothes, Harika still didn't want to talk to her.

"Harika… come on… don't keep silent on me? I'm sorry to you. I don't know if the watch belongs to Queen Revania," said Helena, who was behind Harika. She followed Harika's footsteps and walked slowly.

"Empress Helena, we'll discuss this later while I think of a way out." Cut Harika immediately.

"Right now, the most important thing is that you return to your room. And make sure no one notices that an empress has disappeared today." It was clear Harika didn't want to talk about the topic of watches.

King Louis's chambers seemed deserted, and strangely there were no bodyguards on guard.

"Mmm… are we in luck?" muttered Harika and felt strange.

"Remember… this is the last day of the mourning night. And you should be able to sleep…" Harika is opening the bedroom door, but she couldn't continue her words when she saw something terrible in the King's room.

Helena saw Harika, who had entered the room, and suddenly sat down on her knees.

"What's wrong, Harika?" Helena asked curiously and followed her into the room.

A sight that Helena never imagined when she saw Louis sitting on a big chair.

"Wow, are you having fun?" said a man with a familiar voice.

"Empress Helena, it looks like your outing today was very pleasant, huh?" asked Louis, and he had something in his hand that Helena very well recognized. A watch, which should be in Jack's hand.

Helena looked on with a horrified face, realizing her mistake, and she sat down on her knees with her head down in fear. Beside her was Harika, with both hands wringing her clothes.

"King Louis, I can explain. This isn't a mistake..." Helena tried to explain, but Louis suddenly got up from his seat and cut Helena's words quickly.

"Did I ask you to defend someone, Empress Helena? How presumptuous!" he said when he was very close to Helena, the watch he had swung slowly in front of Helena.

"Can you explain why Revania's valuables can be in the hands of a trash thief in Aidon City?" asked Louis was big angry, staring with hateful eyes at Helena, who was still silent.

"My King Louis!" Harika shifted forward, prostrating before the king.

"This is all my fault who couldn't prevent Empress Helena. I gave the opportunity so that Empress Helena could come out. Please don't be angry with Empress Helena," said Harika, who was still prostrating.

Louis glared at Harika. He even put one foot on Harika's back. Giving emphasis, so Harika had to withstand the strong foot pressure.

"How presumptuous of you! Lowly servant!" Louis said as he took off his long black robe.
