"I allow this marriage. But after this Any alliance marriage that is offered you must not refuse it." Queen Sabrina finally said then turned around and walked away. A servant who accidentally stopped her nearly fell backward because She was pushed by her hand. Finally, she gave in to her only child. The King said " Alhamdulillah " while approaching Nizam.
"Father ..." Prince Nizam tried to sit down. His Majesty even grabbed Nizam's shoulder telling him to lie down again.
"Sorry, Your Majesty. Allow me to re-infuse His Majesty the Prince. His condition is very weak" The doctor said while lowering his face.
"Oh yes .. yes .. do it .." The king stood up to give room for the doctor to put in the IV needle that Nizam had removed earlier.
"Forgive my servant ... Your Majesty," said the doctor as he stuck the IV needle into the prince's hand. Nizam grimaced feeling a little sore in his hand when the syringe stabbed into his skin.
"Your Majesty I will ask the servant to make fine porridge so that His Majesty's stomach is filled. Your Majesty will also drink warm water mixed with honey to restore His Majesty's energy" The doctor said respectfully. He greatly admired the principles of Prince Nizam.
This was the first time he had witnessed someone who did not care about the throne and instead risked his life for love. But what made him even more amazed was that Prince Nizam was not the type of selfish person who only concerned about his love. He is willing to marry Princess Reina in order to maintain the stability of the country.
Prince Nizam smiled at his personal doctor who faithfully accompanied him.
"Thank you, Doctor. I'm sorry if it's been troublesome for you." Prince Nizam held the hand of his personal Doctor.
"Servant who feels very honored, Your Majesty, for being given the opportunity to serve Your Majesty." The doctor said while resigning.
His Majesty Raja Al-Walid approached Prince Nizam again. He sat beside his son.
"How are you now?" Asked his father.
"Good servant Father."
"Are you hate the Queen Mother?"
Prince Nizam smiled.
"How can I hate someone who has given birth to a servant. Maybe I who is too selfish wants to risk the fate of the kingdom because of a woman."
"No, my son. Maybe it is time for the kingdom to create a new system. So far, it seems as if there is no marriage based on love. There is no request for approval between couples who will marry. Marriage occurs only based on the interests of the parents."
"Maybe it's true that our father should set up some system in our country."
"Father really hopes, in Your hands, everything will be better. We depend. You know Father is powerless against the wishes of your mother and uncle."
"It's because Father is too kind." Prince Nizam said with a smile.
"You have to admit that your mother has a strong mind so that our kingdom will stand firmly. Being a central kingdom in charge of 20 parts of the kingdom is not easy. Your mother always said that the kingdoms of that part are always looking for a way to liberate their own kingdom. You don't apply a hard principle. It's been a long time since the war between the kingdoms will last. While Father is already weak because of the heart disease that you suffered. "
Prince Nizam was silent listening to his father's words.
"My son is resting ... see your food has arrived. Restore your health quickly. Daddy will go first to determine your mother. It's already imagined that he will go missing by himself. Oh yeah ... remember don't let your idol girl wait too long. people. "Her father said while joking slightly.
Prince Nizam smiled, reached out his hand to kiss the hand In his heart he praised his father's patience. Behind his weaknesses, there are strengths that he must exemplify from his father.
The servants immediately prepared the porridge that Prince Nizam would eat. Uncle Harun's caretaker, who had been standing, took the bowl of porridge and started feeding his foster children.
Prince Nizam ate the porridge slowly. His stomach was empty for three days now his stomach has to adapt again to accept food. He felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"Does Your Majesty's stomach ache?" Asked Uncle Harun when he saw Prince Nizam seemed to be holding the spoon that was about to enter his mouth. Prince Nizam fixed his seat.
"A little nauseous .."
Uncle Harun looked at the servants who lined up beside Prince Nizam's bed.
"Replace the porridge with sweet porridge. Add honey to it." Uncle Harun put the bowl of porridge on the tray brought by one of the servants.
"Uncle, I can drink the honey water." Prince Nizam pointed to a glass of warm water mixed with honey.
"Oh of course Your Majesty .." Uncle Nizam immediately grabbed the glass on the tray and then drank it to Prince Nizam. Nizam drank it with gusto. He remembered his father's words to get well and soon be able to pick up Alena.
"Rest, Prince, later after your Majesty's stomach is not nauseous. The servant will return to feed my lord." Prince Nizam nodded. He then tried to close his eyes. But what I imagined were his mother's last words. He must not reject the Alliance's marriage.
An alliance marriage is a political marriage involving two kingdoms with the aim of maintaining stability, security, and cooperation between them. As his father said earlier, many of the parts of the kingdom that were under the central kingdom were trying to separate themselves.
Only if they married their prince and royal princess to each other would stability and security be more easily maintained. Especially if the one who is married off is the crown prince of the central or central kingdom with his part of the royal princess.
Prince Nizam understood very well that every time a prince was finished being crowned a king, the vassal kingdoms would send their daughters to be married by the new king. What was imagining in his mind was how Alena would react if he not only made her one of the two but one of the many other wives. Nizam's head suddenly became dizzy.
But for now, he doesn't want to think much, the important thing is that he can stabilize the condition of his kingdom first and be able to marry Alena. Finally, Nizam fell asleep after he freed his mind from all his problems.
