yildiz had attended a few council meetings, she had made so many changes for her kingdom and other kingdoms, which angered other kings and queens, but her energy was positive, people loved her and they trusted and believed in her.
"I don't know why you're so worked up over this Randy, you should know better than those people you're talking about" they're arguing about her shuffle in the farms
"you're not listening, all I'm saying is that you should have atheist found them something before you reshuffle" Randy said
"and you're not listening either, I told you that the application process is taking place, they will be called if they apply for the new farms, but it's fair that we give others the same opportunities, besides, they're old Randy, it's time they claim their pension funds and relax at home" yiodiz said
"old or not, they still need that job" Randy was arguing for the sake of arguing
"you're trying to piss me off, I'm telling you that ... never mind" yildiz said
"yildiz I must remind you though that you are the queen because of the king" Randy said, yildiz stopped eating and focused on him
"meaning?" she asked
"I'm just saying" Randy
"what is this about? because I'm starting to feel there's more to it than just the farms" yildiz asked
"well you're right it's not about the farms, but I'm reminding you that you're here and rolling because of me" Randy said offending yildiz
"what are you talking about Randy?" she asked trying to be calm
"Nathan, I'm talking about Nathan, if you love him that much why dont you go back to him?" Randy
"oh there we go again, it's fine Randy, I'll stop talking to Nathan if thats what you want, but dont you ever tell me that I'm here because of you" yildiz then stood up and left him eating.
the following council meeting ...
they were talking about all the issues when one king raised the issue of the farms.
"I'm sorry king Yusuf, but the farms aren't any kingdom's concern but mine, besides, there are new crops, we need young blood, more energetic people and people who need jobs the most, and that is youth, the old ones will get their pensions, and rest at home, if they still want to work, there are applications taking place for the storage, and in that I don't need more than 100 people, so if any of them wish to come back to work, that's where they will be working, not the farm anymore, i don't see anything wrong with this, I'm youth and I know the struggle of not finding a job when you're stranded" yildiz spoke
"but queen, you forget that it's not about who needs the job the most, it's about trust, you are inviting people you don't know in your space, who knows what they might do" the other king spoke
"my king, trust is out of question, for as long as those people were working In the farm, it's also possible to use the information they know do what you fear the new ones would do, so either way it's not safe, but I don't need servants, 8 need employees, people whom have nothing to do with my personal space of issues" yiodiz said, Randy was quiet all the time
"your kingdom is the major kingdom, we worry when we notice slide issues that might affect the whole hierarchy" one queen said
"worry not my queen, there won't be any effects, change is good, and this one will be more beneficial than you could ever imagine" she said
"we hope for your sake you're right queen yildiz."
after the meeting, they drove back home, Randy was mad in the car, he only spoke when thy got home.
"you disrespected me, you disregarded me infront of other kings yildiz" he shouted
"how?" she asked
"I told you that I was against the reshuffling nonsense of yours, you went ahead with it, as if that was not enough, you stood up and spoke about it proudly knowing the other kings new how I felt about it, now they think I'm the woman in this relationship" he said clapping his hands
"Randy you are angry over nothing, we can't always agree on the same things, the council is to talk and guide each other,..." she was about to talk further but Randy spoke
"if we don't agree then let me make the final decisions, I'm the king after all, why do you think those kings were interested in the farm issues more than the agenda of the day?" he asked fuming
"Randy I'm your wife, the queen of this kingdom, I have the right to do what I feel is right and good for the kingdom, if you don't agree with it then let me do the mistakes, I'll learn from them" she said taking off her shoes.
"you will make so many mistakes yildiz, and I will not let you ruin this kingdom with your stubbornness, your problem is that you think you know, but you don't know anything, especially about ruling a kingdom" Randy also took off his shoes.
yildiz sat on the bed quietly, after a while she took off her clothes and headed to the shower, when she was done she came back to find Randy on the phone with their HR manager, she listened and it hurt her to hear Randy telling the manager to rehire the old stuff.
"so you're disregarding my decisions?" she asked
"yildiz I was born in royalty, I know how things work around here" Randy said going to the shower
"so that's what this is about? I'm not royalty and I can't make such decisions? we both know that the change will be good, you know business more than I even, but because I'm the one who came with the idea and I'm a commoner it's not acceptable?" she asked.
"think whatever you want" Randy said then closed the door, yildiz wore her less heavy clothes and went to the kitchen.
"Linda I would like to have pies for dinner, will you need help?" she asked the cook?"
"no my queen I'll be fine, but diner will be a few minutes late, is that okay?" Linda asked
"thats fine, thank you" yildiz said and went to sit in the living room
randy came all dressed up
"we have visitors, it's short notice but can you tell Linda to cook a feast?" Randy asked yildiz
"who is coming?" she asked
"your friend and my cousin" Randy said
"okay I've already told Linda to do pies" yildiz said, Randy looked at her like she was crazy
"what ?" she asked him
"do you expect our visitors to eat pies for dinner?" Randy asked
"what's wrong with that?" she asked
"they can just buy them if they want yildiz, do proper food" he said
"I don't see anything wrong with pies, there'll be meat and salads, also dessert, so it's a proper meal" she said
"maybe for you and Kofi, my cousin will not drive this far to eat pie" Randy said
"oh okay, no problem" she stood up and went to the kitchen again
"Linda dear I'm so sorry, but we have guests coming over and we would like to have a proper meal" she said
"what's a proper meal my queen?" Linda asked, yildiz sighed and shrugged her shoulders,
"anything that comes to mind Linda, I really don't know" she said and didnt wait for Linda to say anything else.
around 5 pm, the guests arrived, yildiz wore her queen dress, and went to join them
"my friend, you look slim today" Kofi joked
"I feel worn out too" she said laughing.
Linda set the table, it was rice, fried chicken, salads then those pies, and the traditional Malta pudding and custard dessert with jelly.
Kofi and yildiz dished up the pies for themselves then served the men rice.
later at 8 pm, they left.
yildiz went to bed, she was still wiping her makeup off when Randy came in
"what did you tell Linda to prepare?" Randy asked
"proper meal" yildiz said
"what's proper meal?" he asked
"I don't know, I just said proper meal, she's worked here for too long to know what royal people eat over dinner" yildiz said
"royal people?" Randy asked
"yes" yildiz then got under the sheets
"well that wasn't proper meal, that was not what we eat with guests, next time..." he was about to finish his sentence but
"next time go to the kitchen and tell her what exactly you want her to prepare, don't send me, I will forget since I'm not familiar with the royal things, and I wasn't born in royalty remember?" she said and covered her head.
"yildiz that's childish, very childish" Randy kept on talking alone since yildiz wasn't responding until she fell asleep leaving Randy talking alone.
in the morning she woke up, bathed and had breakfast without her husband, then she went to sit outside far from the house.
randy looked for her until he found her, she was crying, but when he got close she wiped off her tears.
"why are crying yildiz?" Randy asked
"I'm not crying" she lied
"don't do that, I can see you're crying" Randy said
"can you just let me be alone for a second?" she asked
"why?" Randy asked, yildiz stood up and walked back to the house with Randy following her.
"we need to go to the farm, please get ready" Randy told yildiz
"I'm not going" yildiz said
"why?" he asked
"what am I going to do there?" she asked
"what do you mean?" Randy asked
yildiz again didn't respond, she got in the bedroom, took of her clothes and got under the sheets.
"yildiz you can't be seriously angry about what I said yesterday, so I'm not supposed to rectify you now?" Randy asked
"I'm not angry over anything, I've heard what you said and I've accepted that I don't know anything, so I wouldn't want to ruin your kingdom with my lacking knowledge, you go to the farms, you know better than I do, isn't it so?" she said
"wow" Randy took his bag and left.
