Rosa woke up from her sleep, because there were a lot of grunting noises that were quite disturbing to the ears. When Rosa walked out of the bedroom door, Rosa saw that her two maids had bowed their heads. They were wearing a black cloth on their left arm, making Rosa grip the doorknob so tightly.
"What is it?" Rosa asked, trying to make sure her thoughts were wrong this time. Hoping that what she saw on the left arm of her servants was just Rosa's hallucination.
"My majesty Princess Rosa, I am very guilty of conveying this sad news." The two maids immediately prostrated themselves for mercy and it was enough to make Rosa fall to the floor.
Rosa stared at the floor blankly, her heart suddenly stopped and her world felt so empty.
No... No way..
Grandpa!!! Not!!!
"No! No way! Who dares to give such bad news! Who! Answer me!" Rosa was already screaming in anger, tears welling up in her eyes. This pain really breaks Rosa's heart.
Now what? Why did her grandfather leave Rosa? Even though Rosa only depends on her grandfather for life.
"My majesty Princess Rosa, we got this news from the commander of the Centaurus kingdom. He said that His Majesty the King died due to not being able to survive with the poison in his body." One of the maids said boldly, Rosa was getting weaker hearing that.
If it was the royal commander who had said this, it meant this was true news.
Rosa got up from her fall with difficulty, Rosa lifted her nightgown and ran fast to go to her grandfather's room.
all the way to the king's room, Rosa could see all the maids and guards bowing respectfully, but that wasn't what made Ross even more sad. Their left arm has a black cloth on them.
black cloth as a sign that this kingdom has lost its king, this makes Rosa run faster.
When the big door came into view, Rosa immediately barged in. Seeing the many heads of the council and also important officials who were around her grandfather's body.
Rosa stepped with trembling legs, her tears broke even more. when her grandfather's pale face was clearly visible, when Rosa's hand held the cold hand that was always stroking Rosa's head.
all of Rosa's memories with her grandfather, made Rosa even more devastated.
"Grandpa...!" Rosa said quietly, Hugging her grandfather and crying in that hug.
No one dared to interrupt the cries of a Princess from the Centaurus kingdom. No one dared to say to remove her body from the body of the Centaurus King.
Because they all know that currently the one who hugs the king is their favorite granddaughters. The granddaughters who are always proud to be the successor to the throne.
They all know that Princess Rosa is a beautiful diamond that is always guarded and loved by the King.
The cry was getting more and more sad, when one of the religious leaders sang the death song. Especially when the strains of sad music play in the King's room.
Religious leaders give final prayers for the King. Black roses were thrown over their king's body. Rosa was still hugging her grandfather, not going away or letting go of the frozen body.
The aroma of jasmine flowers with cinnamon, fills the whole room. They pay their last respects, holding one hand in front of their chest. then bent half the body.
all that is done, until the prayer from religious leaders ends.
Throughout Prayer Rosa has been thinking a lot of things. What will happen to her life after this? Would her mother dump Rosa? Does her mother still want to take care of Rosa in this kingdom?
Rosa did not expect much, After this.. Rosa will definitely be alone and live on the streets.
Goodbye Grandpa! Goodbye and may you rest in peace up there.
*****
The funeral was going very solemnly. Throughout the course of the event Rosa could only remain silent. Even when she sat on one of the royal benches, and was confronted by all members of the council and royal elders.
Rosa remained silent without uttering any sound, Rosa did not intend to stay any longer in this kingdom.
Maybe Rosa will wander from village to village.
The commander of the Centaurus kingdom started walking into the midst of everyone.
He opened the Brown scroll which was a will from King Rendra. Every king always writes his will long before he dies.
And King Rendra has written the letter since he was first appointed as King.
"I am the Commander of the kingdom and the Right Hand of King Rendra. I will read the will that was written by the King in the year of the Orchid. This letter contains the division of the kingdom's territory and also the successor to the throne who deserves to be on the throne.
1. The Eastern Region will still be held by King Rendra's nephew, Prince Daniel. For all the things he did, the King asked the traditional elders to help the Prince.
2. The western region will be held by Princess Madeleine, as the daughter of King Rendra. For all the things she did, the King asked the traditional elders to help the Princess.
3. The eastern region will be held by the Empress Leisa, as the legal wife of King Rendra. For all the things she did, the King asked the traditional elders to help the Empress.
4. For the Centaurus kingdom, looking at all the considerations and meetings that have been held by council members and elders. The Centaurus Kingdom will be held by Princess Rosa Centifolia, the first granddaughter of King Rendra.
"Wha!! How come!!" Madeleine shouted angrily.. "Who made the will? How can my children be the heir to the throne? Whereas I am the mother! I am the daughter of King Rendra! I should be the Queen here!!" asked Madeleine, her face turning red.
The commander turned the will and the royal seal and fingerprints of King Rendra's blood were clearly visible.
"Impossible!" Said Madeleine who was still in disbelief.
Rosa, who heard her name mentioned earlier, was of course just as shocked. How can Rosa become the successor of the Centaurus kingdom?
Shouldn't it be Madeleine's mother?
"Forgive our majesty Princess Madeleine, but all this was written before King Rendra died. In fact, all of this has been approved by the council members and the elders. you can ask them directly." The commander-in-chief bowed his head respectfully, Madeleine could only squeeze her hand in deep anger.
So? All this time Madeleine has been fooled by everyone? It turns out that all this time her father had written a will? even board members and Naturally agree on this? Damn!
Madeleine really had no idea that her own child had stabbed her in the back! her daughter Takes the right that belongs to Madeleine
Damn child!! Even Madeleine doesn't know who her real father is!
