Three days passed....
Selena decided to visit the garden to have tea, and when she arrived, she saw Heraldo picking flowers.
Selena: Heraldo??
Heraldo turned around Your Majesty?? hid the flowers he picked behind his back
Selena: What are you doing here??
Heraldo: Ah, I'm researching the potential benefits of these plants to create a cure for dengue since, as you know, this disease is spreading in our area, Your Majesty. bowed his head
Selena: Ah, yes, I heard about it from the palace guards. I was planning to help with treating and caring for those afflicted with dengue later.
Heraldo: Ah, I see. If it's alright with you, I'll leave now since I've finished my research here. forced smile
Selena: Alright.
Heraldo bowed and left quickly
Selena sat down and looked at the plants Heraldo was picking (Why did he pick the moonflowers?)
Moonflowers look like smaller versions of sunflowers, with their petals shaped like squares. At night, they turn blue when illuminated by the moon, visible alongside the twinkling stars and clouds. These plants can be used to heal wounds, coughs, colds, and fevers. Most importantly, they are used to calm a person down.<
Selena (You could use them against dengue when a person has a fever, but moonflowers cannot cure an epidemic like dengue.) There are many other plants that could be used to eradicate the dengue disease, hmm.... (Could it be that he also used this in the medicine Zilpher took the other night when I saw him?) But for what? (To calm him down or for the fever?) If it's for calming...., why does he need to be calmed down? (What exactly is your illness, Zilpher?) When will you tell me?
Four hours later....
Selena's camp distributed free food, medicine, and clothes to people with dengue.
Selena noticed the red medicine Heraldo was giving to his patients.
Selena (The medicine he gives is red. So, my suspicion is correct; he used the moonflowers in the medicine for Zilpher) ...
Then a child tapped her on the shoulder...
Selena (Oh!) Here you go, for you gave the child some clothes
Child smiled Thank you!
Zilpher patted the child's head Eat well, grow up strong, get better, and stay healthy smiled
Child nodded You two are really perfect for each other. You're both kind and have beautiful faces smiled
Selena and Zilpher: ...
The child then said goodbye and left.
Zilpher: Look, even the child said we're a good match smiled
Selena: Hhh...., clean up that mess over there pointed
Zilpher saluted Yes, Ma'am!
Gusano: Hhh.... sighed Our king really loves Selena, doesn't he? Heraldo?
Heraldo: Yes.... (It seems I need to remind Zilpher of what he really needs to do)
That evening.....
Selena sat on one side of the bed (I still haven't figured out Zilpher's secret that I could use against him) So I can't leave this place early whispered
The next morning....
Heraldo and Zilpher were having a serious discussion...
Heraldo: Your Majesty, remember why you allowed that Duchess to stay here.
Zilpher: ...
Heraldo: Don't you want to get revenge and defeat Nefetirani for what she did to you and conquer the whole world?
Zilpher: I do! Just trust that I know what I'm doing, Heraldo!, okay?
And after their argument, Zilpher went to his office to think deeply.
Zilpher: ...
The other day, I thought about throwing away all my feelings for Selena, but when she arrived at this kingdom and I saw her again....
Selena: I'm here to form an alliance with...
My heart suddenly raced and I regained the feelings I had for her. So I planned to keep her by my side for life, but I still have a strong desire to overthrow and get revenge on the demon Nefetirani for what she did to me on my twelfth birthday, and I also plan to use the Immortality from Selena's blood to rule the world. But I have doubts about using Selena to achieve my plans every time I see her beautiful smile on her red lips. And I often dream about her...
In a paradise without turmoil, with beautiful views and a kingdom full of color and life, where only joy is experienced, a loving family is seen.
Selena: My love, have you eaten? gently asked
Zilpher: Yes, my love blushing
Just as they were about to kiss....
Children: Father! Mother! hugged their parents
Zilpher (Why now? Just when I was about to taste Selena's sweet kisses, these kids come.) Hhh.... sighed (I'm so confused about what I should do).
Children: Mother?, is there food?
Selena: Yes, children smiled
And then they ate happily at the dining table.
But Zilpher also sometimes thinks...
Zilpher (It's impossible for the things in my dreams to happen because what Selena wants is nothing other than...)
Child Selena: Almorante!!! happily calling Almorante's name
Selena ran to Almorante...
Almorante: Oh?, Your Majesty!, Be careful, you might trip while running smiled
Child Zilpher: Hhmmppphhh!!! annoyed
Zilpher also knew that he and Selena were only married on paper, as he knew that Selena's heart was solely for Almorante.
Zilpher: Even though she knows that Almorante's only desire is Aerielle, Hhh.... sighed
Zilpher very despondent Hhh...., what should I do with my feelings for you, Selena?? clutched his chest tightly And when you find out about my secret, will you stay away from me completely? looked up at the ceiling
Selena writing in their room Achoo!!!! (Maybe I was remembered by my siblings) looked up at the ceiling I wonder how they are doing?
